Act II, Part I: Beyond Death
By Antuul Dralosi, Lost Soul
Everything seemed to happen so fast when the floor fell beneath my feet and I fell with it. I didn’t even hear the snap of my neck before everything went dark. It was like suddenly fainting. There were no dreams, no noise, no feelings—just an emptiness to it all. A peaceful emptiness, but still an emptiness that I can’t quite describe. It was like being asleep but deeper than any sleep I’ve ever had or deeper than I ever thought possibly. It was as though I just—ceased to be. One moment, I existed and in the next, I just—didn’t. I didn’t exist anymore and I don’t know how long I didn’t exist or even where I am, but somehow, I exist again. I don’t know how. I don’t know why. But I am here and I don’t really know how I feel about it. I had made my peace with non-existence before I was marched to the Gallows and I feel almost denied that peace, but I suppose it doesn’t matter; I am here once more and I suppose I must still have some part to play in the grand scheme of things. I just don’t know what.
When I did awaken from my slumber of non-existence, it was not in New Balmora or anywhere I had ever been and that was apparent as soon as I opened my eyes. I was in a cave of some sort and it was dark, damp, cold—everything one would think of when thinking of a cave, but something was different about it. When I cupped my hands to drink of the water my head had been resting in, it turned to dust as I brought it to lips and when I dunked my mouth in, I choked on the dust I tried to drink and I felt the cave shake with a deep, rumbling laughter at me and everything in it joined in. The plethora of different fungi growing in the crevices, the rats that weren’t quite rats but something else—something twisted, and even the pool of dust all joined in on laughing at me. Whatever this place was, it was not something I had ever seen before—not something I ever wanted to see either.

It took me some time to crawl out from the cave, but I did. It shifted and readjusted with my every movement, whether in some goal of keeping me inside or because I made it uncomfortable with my constant moving, I don’t know, but I did get out and it was when I gazed the world before me that I found myself wishing for a return to the peaceful emptiness I had been pulled away from. There was no ground to speak of, just islands floating through the air constantly battering into one another as a result of the raging storms throwing aside everything in their way. Some of these islands were bigger than others and on most of all them were fortresses, but one in particular stood out—the one sitting in the center of the storm. It was the largest by far in both the size of the island of the fortress on top of it.
I did see a fortress on the island I’m on though and maybe I can find answers in there and something to drink. Hopefully anyways. I just hope I can make it there without being noticed by those creatures in the sky; I can only make out their silhouette through all the ash and dust, but I’ve got nothing to defend myself if they come for me. Here’s to hoping I can make it to the Fortress before they see me.

How to Break an Evil Curse
Curse is a fairytale-flavored fantasy that challenges its characters to step outside their comfort zone and defy their archetypal roles. It centers on the life of Princess Julianna. She may be cursed to live in darkness, but she’s no damsel in distress. Tired of living in a dungeon with her criminally-minded ghost friends, she risks sunburn, social-awkwardness, and revolutionaries to save herself from the monotony of boring princess stereotypes. Our intrepid and intelligent heroine sallies forth into a world of hyper-masculine pirates, sensitive-dude types, travelling theater troupes, asparagus, secret tunnels, banjos, concussions, outlaws, revolutionaries, magic, women’s rights crusaders, curses, and difficult life choices. Faced with the realities outside her castle walls, Julianna begins to suspect that the real world is far more complicated than the black-and-white fairy tale she and her family occupied.

The Faction Contributor [Sci-Fi LitRPG]
While casually studying for his upcoming university exam, Aven suddenly felt the world around him start warping. It started with flashes of light appearing from nowhere, quickly escalating into his whole world becoming an absolute mess of flickering pixels and chaotic color flows, as if reality had become a malfunctioning glitched screen. What he could recognize as numbers, letters, and strange symbols flew everywhere around him, obviously trying to form a coherent whole to be displayed before his eyes, but such attempts kept failing, again and again. Before he could even start thinking about how both mesmerizing and absurd this spectacle was, however, it all stopped, as suddenly as it had begun. Accompanying the end of this unique show, 2 things happened. First, knowledge had spontaneously appeared in his mind and he could perfectly understand it, as if it had always been there, just inaccessible. Second, a weird simultaneously hot and cold energy had made its apparition inside his body completely unannounced. Aven had just simply and purely awakened his innate ability and the energy potential of his cells, joining the world of the supers, a minority that had always controlled and protected the world since ancient times, by becoming one of them. *** Do you have a sci-fi itch to scratch? Maybe that story can help~ It’s not a comic story that doesn’t take itself seriously. It’s also not a grimdark story, going to the depth of making sure the environment is the worst one ever. It’s just a serious story, a rational one, one you can comfortably dive into, written by a guy who already got some writing experience by having seriously written more than 2 000 pages of another serious story prior to starting this one. Enjoy *** Update: 3 chapters every week (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) Chapters: Around 3 000 words each.

[NOT ACCEPTING REQUESTS]* Okay, let's face it: BLACK BUTLER CHARACTERS ARE HOT AS HELL. And hey, almost none are married or otherwise engaged, so would it really be a crime to take one~? Are you a fan of one of the Devil Six? Do you perhaps prefer anime exclusive characters? Or, maybe, you like the least popular ladies or gentlemen of the series.Who do you choose?-I do not own Black Butler or the characters within it (naturally, you do not belong to me either). I only own the stories within, thank you-
