“Hey look, its her.”
“What is she doing here.”
“I heard she’s a demon.”
“Really, I heard she was a pshyco.”
The people around me as I walked through the halls called with whispered tones. Some better, most worse. Wanting to just get to my next class, I opened a pink portal not visible to those I don’t wish, and walked through to my next class, sitting in the back corner, shunned by pretty much everyone.
They past month had been like this. All because I was braver then everyone else. During a lockdown that was tripped by magic use, we were all within our rooms, waiting out the events when suddenly, a large purple door appeared.
Everyone else panicked except for me and they fled the room. I stayed with a close friend and we investigated the door. After it seemed safe, I entered first. I remember there being a open plain dosed in a variety of sectioned colours. In a large circle, hundreds of doors appeared, each coloured to the area they appeared in. My friend entered behind and that’s the last thing I remembered. I awoke surrounded by trained mages and guards in the class room. I was curled around a pink hued metal orb which when the guards asked for, I gave knowing they would take it if I didn’t. But upon handing it over and stepping back, it turned into a stream of liquid metal and hit me.
I don’t know how long I was out but I awoke in a white bed in a plain white room with a mana lock on my arm which caused me to panic. With a flash of white from overloading the lock, a pink rectangle appeared at the end of the bed which I could see my room. My parents ran in to comfort me and after a while I calmed down. With that I started to play around and show off my abilities which my parents were sceptical about. I don’t know why though. This was amazing!

Eventually a scientist came in and tried to figure out stuff but it made me uncomfortable. So I just went home! The look on his face. I eventually went back to school after the director and the scientists deemed, I was safe to be around other people. But when I came back, I learned that my friend never came back. And rumours went around the school that my powers came from demons or something of the like. And, like that, I was outcast by most in the school. The small group of friends I had made acted like they didn’t know me. It was the start of arriving at this school all over again.
No friends. No one to back me up. No one to help me. It sucks. As class ended. I walked out after what I thought was everyone but I was grabbed by something and pulled back in. I turned to see the telekinetic mean girl Julien with her 5 ‘friends’.
“So its you that everyone talks about.” She said in a sickly sweet voice. “I’ve heard you have a rather, useful ability. And you are a bit lacking for friends. What you say you join my group?”
“No thanks but I will pass on your little, group.” As I start to leave before I’m suddenly held in place and forcefully turned to face them. “I said no.” I growl to the woman.
“I don’t think you understand.” One her group said back to me. “You don’t simply just say no to being in our little group.” She aggressively states as pale blue flames rise of her hair. She rose her hand to throw fire towards me before I’m suddenly alone in the room. I quickly leave through one of my portals to my next class. Both relieved and worried as to what just happened.

8 286Dear Spellbook (Rewrite)
Live. Study. Repeat. Tal never saw himself as an adventurer, but the call to adventure never much cared for his opinion. Despite his best efforts, his search for answers on the murder of his parents ever draws him into danger. Accompanied by a group of seasoned warriors, thus far Tal has gotten by on his own meager magical talents, but when one day he wakes up to find himself back in his bed of the night before, he is faced with a challenge he must conquer alone. What to expect: This story was born of an attempt to create in world lore reasons for many of the mechanics and tropes of D&D, but you do not need to know of them to enjoy the story. It's a single POV time loop story with slow paced progression fantasy elements. The story is not one of fast-paced power ups and non-stop action, but as it progresses, the action picks up. There is a lot of magic system exploration on a system built to unify the diverse magic of D&D into one cohesive magic system. The setting is an original world with familiar races and monsters but with new unique origins and motivations. The average chapter will be 2-5k words long, most being around 3k but there are a few less than 1k, due to the nature of the story telling device I used. Book 1 is complete. Posting is on hold until I finish book 2. Book 2 progress: The rough draft is done at 141656 words as of 7/9/2022. I need to reread and edit it but Im aiming for resuming chapters in September.
8 760Ocean Attuned - A timeloop LitRPG
In the mids of industrialization, Liana, a girl of almost twelve, awakens her flow and follows her newly awakened calling, the ocean, and thus the path of the last remaining god. With the advent of industry, one's status and the accompanying skills slowly grow to be secondary as people choose more recreational skills and classes. The clear exception are flow bringers. Humans with an increased affinity towards flow and attunements are the only real remnants of the age of gods and mysticism. Terrors on the battlefield, saints in hospitals, saviours during drought, are just some examples of the wonderous abilities they display. As civilization grows less dangerous so does the stress that is often associated with the awakening of the flow reduce and only the real talents remain. Please be aware that this is a first draft at best. Tag/Genre analysis: Action: A theme that will appear in the story at some point (probably 15+ chapters in) Adventure: Yes Fantasy: Yes Magic, Beasts, and other fantastical elements are totally at home here. Tragedy: Life is not always fun. For what is fun when there are no downsides. I don't know how heavily I am going to lean into this genre. I want to but don't expect too much. Loop: Yes, though I will not divulge anything else. Just be aware that there isn't nearly as much looping as in MoL for example. Female Lead: Yes, Liana is female. Dungeon: Yes, there are dungeons. Yes, they will get explored. LitRPG: Yes, read the first chapter if you want an example. Magic: most definitely because who doesn't like calling lighting down from the heavens. (Disclaimer: No actual lightning will be called down from the heavens) Mythos: There are gods. So maybe, I don't know if that is enough to qualify? Progression: yes Slice of Life: There is plot, and the story will mostly be about that plot, but there will also be downtime because there can't always be action. The first "loop" especially the first 20-30 chapters will be heavily SoL. And afterward there will be a lot less. Profanity: The ocean (see title) includes sailors and we all know how the stereotypical sailor is. Gore: Hmmm, some but I will have it be not graphic at all.

With that said, he turned and went in the wrong directionThis is the story of a small dunderhead and his sticky companion. (N.B: this is a slash story.)
