《The Hotel With No Name》The Hotel with No Name: An Incomplete Guide
Advertisement
assembled and edited by the Ashrose Society
The following is a selected archive of blog posts and other relevant files regarding "the hotel with no name," a paranormal and psychological phenomenon brought to light by the late twenty-three year old Naomi Hudson.
Naomi launched her blog in 2015 as a place to share her experiences with the paranormal world. Her posts about "the hotel with no name" (and by extension the entity she nicknamed "Rabbithead") garnered quite a bit of attention online, with hundreds of people around the globe attesting to have visited this location in their sleep. Many have disregarded this hotel, and Naomi's online presence in general, as an ARG (alternate reality game) or elaborate piece of fiction, despite her frequent insistence that it was entirely real. Regardless of its status as real or fictional, "the hotel with no name" was popular, as was Naomi herself. This popularity was skyrocketed in late 2018, when she seemingly confessed to murder and then entirely disappeared.
In the months and years following, many people have made an effort to collect, dissect, validate, deny, or psychoanalyze Naomi's accounts and experiences. However, most of these archives and analyses are missing a few very key pieces of evidence. This is not the fault of the people who have worked tirelessly on Naomi's case; these pieces of media were simply inaccessible to the public.
Luckily, the Ashrose Society recently gained exclusive access to these files, and after intense analysis and investigation, we have deemed them all to be legitimate. We have taken the effort to compile them in the most satisfactory manner that we can, starting with Naomi's final public blog post. Most of the events of her final days were written in private, but we are able to share them here, along with transcripts of audio recordings and videos, image descriptions, and relevant notes from figures other than Naomi. We have included our commentary and notes to shed light on specific issues.

ROACH- rising pestilence
A weary mind awakens in an unfamiliar body, lost, confused, scared, and very far from home. He doesn't know where he is, he isn't sure what he may become, and his stomach growls hungrily. But he knows one thing. He must feed and he isn't too bothered on how, only when. Through his struggles to survive trying to take his place in this world. It, the world will be forever changed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My first story here so let's do it! hopefully with flying colors. (This story is not about an insect that goes on an edgelord, death rampage, so those who came for that, know now what you are reading and stop rating down thx, still, some murder and mayhem is involved) Feel free to critique, I will be checking on reviews and comments every now and then to see what others think of my writing and how I might adjust it in the future. (although I'm also doing this for fun so don't get your knickers in a twist if things don't change to your liking). (Know that even if you comment/review that doesn't mean I will respond or that I will take your advice, after all, I too have my own preferences). A chapter tends to come out every fortnight, however sometimes it may be sooner or later, It depends on how lazy I'm feeling or how busy I am. Ps. A friend of mine drew the cover art, appreciate its homebrew goodness. PPs. serious readers may want to read the author's notes as well. PPPs. If you rate down please say why, I want info, not merely ratings that don't tell me anything, preferably in comments, so I can try to best satisfy my audience, or at the very least understand their reasons.
8 110We Don't Want to be Main Characters!
Twins Kazama and Belle were born under a lucky(?) star. They are the main characters of not only this story, but many others in their own world. Psychic powers, magic, alternate worlds, and every other trope from anime and literature rears its head in their daily lives. After becoming jaded by their crazy experiences, the twins have decided to aggressively pursue normal high school lives. Currently on hiatus for the forseeable future. The current schedule is one chapter every week. There will be a one week break after a set (series of named chapters) ends.
8 206Braza the Architect - Magical Crafter, Builder, and Adventurer!
This is the story of an older man who lived a hard but full life, being reincarnated into a fantasy world as a human-lizard hybrid. The new world is violent, magic is real, a game-like development system crushes physics and natural law under its ambivalent thumb, and myth and legend don't just meet, they chase you down to eat you.Follow Braza as he tries to make a very different life for himself in a familiar but ultimately alien world. In this story the protaginist will not just be a muscle bound monster. He is not a proper hero, willing to sacrifice himself for the good of a stranger, but neither is he a maniacal villain. He is trying to survive, and he is trying to give himself and those he deems himself responsible for a seat at the table of the"goodly", the "civilized" races. He is trying to create a secure home for his people, to arrange beneficial trade agreements, explore ancient ruins, decipher ancient runes, push the boundaries of magic to create a better life for everyone around him, to learn about the history of the world and the multiverse, and ultimately attempt to become powerful enough to take on a being that even the gods themselves fear. This is my first story and it blends many different elements and styles. It's a bit darker than most of what I have read on Royal Road, but even with that, I hope you give it a try, and I hope you like it!

Various mini-stories, random thoughts, ideas, parts of yet to be posted stories, and potential future stories. All around randomness from when I have a block during writing. Enjoy reading whatever random stuff I write, if you want that is.
8 201The Animo Saga
Before history was well-recorded in the world of Ulakam, primordial animal spirits adopted humans, provided protection and developed deep spiritual connections with them. Millennia later, humans now host animal spirits and are split into tribes named for the species they host. Ulakam is slowly being consumed by a decades-long war pitting the main tribes against the smaller tribes and a group of bandits calling themselves "the resistance". Callida Animo was born into this world. Coming from a mixed family of generational soldiers, Callida joined the family business at a young age. In her words, she was practically bred, born, and raised to be a soldier. And she's good at what she does... which inevitably attracts attention that makes her unambitious self extremely uncomfortable. Love, loss, influence and growth. This is her story. Written episodically, this story focuses on relationships and character growth through a series of mini-arcs that connect to make a greater whole. (Honestly, the story would lend itself well to a TV series.) "Episodes" range from 3-7 chapters (at least so far), and average about 4 or 5 chapters. Author's note: I'm always thrilled to receive comments, follows, ratings/reviews, messages.... All forms of feedback are welcome and encouraged. However, I have no interest in begging readers for more engagement to get better visibility. I tried that with my last story and found the game soul-sucking. So! This constitutes my only self-promotion request. If you are reading this story, let me know what you think! I love engaging with my readers. We'll see if growing the readership organically is even possible. Thank you! 😘 Release schedule: Weekly on Wednesday afternoons
