"So any of you want to attend Shyra's concert?" Hardik asked, coming into the suite, all of the boys were in.
They all turned to look at me.
"What? If you guys want to go, then go." I shrugged.
"I really want to go. I mean, I'm a huge SHYRAITE." Rohit said, chuckling.
"What's a 'shyraite'?" Yuzi asked, confused.
"Shyra's fans are called SHYRAITES." Rohit said.
"But I checked for the tickets. The arena is sold out." He added.
"Woah. It's her first tour and a sold out already?" Shikhar asked him.
"Bro, this isn't her first sold out. She's had five sold outs in this tour." Rohit said.
"Okay, but Rohit, do you want to go?" Hardik asked again.
"I do."
"Good. So get ready, because we're going." Hardik said.
"How's that possible?" I asked.
"Natasa and Samantha are cousins, so." He shrugged his shoulders.
"How many passes do you have?" Yuzi asked.
"I can take as many people as I want." Hardik chuckled.
Everyone agreed on going, except me.
"Come on, Rahul, don't be such a spoil sport." Hardik said.
"I just don't want to meet her." I told her.
"It's okay, don't meet her, but just tag along."
"Fine."

We were given special seating arrangements, to the left of the main stage.
The screen lit up, starting a countdown from 10.
"3. 2. 1." The crowd erupted into cheers, when a video of Shyra played on the screen.
Suddenly, the screen went blank, with the lights of the stadium switched off.
Safari's tune started playing and the crowd went crazy.
The lights were back on, when Shyra entered.
She was wearing a white shirt with sleeves upto her elbow, tucked into a shiny skirt. A pair of silver stilettos to go with it. Her hair was left open, just the way I like it.
"Come on, boy, move that body
'Cuz tonight I'm naughty, naughty
Dance with me like it's my party
We go wild we're in Safari
We go wild we're in Safari."
The tune came on, as the background dancer danced, and she moved to the tune.
She completed her song, and looked around the arena.

"What's up, London!?" She screamed into the mic, causing all her fans to go crazy.
"Okay, first thing first, thank you so much for sparing some time, and coming here to watch me perform. It really means a lot to me." She smiled.
"I love y'all!" She shouted, and again the crowd went crazy.
"I would be complex
I would be cool
They'd say I played the field before
I found someone to commit to
And that would be okay
For me to do
Every conquest I had made
Would make me more of a boss to you"
She started singing her next song.
*
We were halfway done through the concert, with her singing, but mostly playing around with the fans.
She treats her fans like her family.
"Well that candy missed my mouth." She laughed.
There was a fan trying to aim a candy inside her mouth.
"Okay, this is your last chance." Shyra spoke.
"And I hope you throw only candy. And nothing else." She said slowly, causing the arena to go crazy at her words.
This time the candy landed in her mouth.
"Woohoo! We did it. Give me an air high five." She told the fan, smiling, doing the action.
"Okay, so getting back. The next song is really close to my heart. This is the only song which took me forever to write. This one's my debut single. Sugar and Brownies." She said, as the tune started playing in the background.
She then finished three more songs, and spoke into the mic again.
"Ah! Time for another set of emo songs." She chuckled, taking a guitar, and walking infront of the stage.
She set her mic stand, and spoke again.
"Could I request y'all to switch on your flash lights?"
When all of us did so, she asked the organisers to switch off all the lights except those on the stage.
"I don't hate you
No, I couldn't if I wanted to
I just hate all the hurt that you put me through
And that I blame myself for letting you
Did you know I already knew?
Couldn't even see you through the smoke
Lookin' back, I probably should have known

But I just wanted to believe that you were out sleepin' alone
Love me with your worst intentions
Didn't even stop to question
Every time you burned me down
Don't know how, for a moment it felt like heaven
Love me with your worst intentions
Painted us a happy ending
Every time you burned me down
Don't know how, for a moment it felt like heaven
And it's so gut-wrenchin'
Fallin' in the wrong direction."
Soon enough, she ended 'Wrong Direction', and started with 'Always Remember Us This Way'.
I hope she does not break down, this time.
Her eyes did get moist, but she didn't let the tears fall.
"When you look at me
And the whole world fades
I'll always remember us......"
She closed her eyes.
"......this way."
Tears slid down from her eyes, but she wiped it away quickly.
The entire stadium was quiet. I could hear people cry.
"You're a strong girl, Shyra. I love you!" One of her fans screamed.
Shyra chuckled, before saying, "Thank you, sweetheart. I love you too."
"Okay, so we come down to the last song of the concert. Before we begin, I wanna say a huge thank you again to all you beautiful souls for coming here. You guys mean the world to me. You guys aren't fans to me, you're my family." She said, as the crowd started cheering.
"So this song.." She laughed.
"I have some quite interesting memories with this one. Well, this song has broken many records, giving me some extra fame and attention, agreed. It did fetch me many awards, but it also costed me a lot. It costed me the love of my life." She smiled sadly, touching the ring hanging on her neck, as the crowd fell silent again.
"This one's Rock Bottom."
"What are we fighting for?
Seems like we do it just for fun
In this, this stupid war
We play hard with our plastic guns.
Breathe deep, bottle it up
So deep until it's all we got
Don't speak, just use your touch
Don't speak before we say too much.
You hate me now and I feel the same way
You love me now and I feel the same way
We scream and we shout
And make up the same day, same day.
Oh, we're on the right side of rock bottom
And I hope that we keep falling
We're on the good side of bad karma
'Cause we keep on coming back for more
We're on the right side of rock bottom
Into you, I just keep crawling
You're the best kind of bad something
'Cause we keep on coming back for more"
It was Joe's verse now, but as Joe wasn't here, I thought she'd be singing it.
But to my surprise- actually to all of our surprise, Joe Jonas entered the stage, singing his verse.
"You get under my skin
More than anyone's ever been
But when we lay in bed
You hold me hard 'til I forget"
People literally went crazy when he came onto the stage. They started screaming.
"That you hate me now and I feel the same way
You love me now and I feel the same way
We scream and we shout
And make up the same day, same day
Oh, we're on the right side of rock bottom
And I hope that we keep falling
We're on the good side of bad karma
'Cause we keep on coming back for more
We're on the right side of rock bottom
Into you, I just keep crawling
You're the best kind of bad something
'Cause we keep on coming back for more
Keep on coming back for more
'Cause we keep on coming back for more
What are we fighting for?
Seems like we do it just for fun
In this, this just stupid war
We play hard with our plastic guns
Oh, we're on the right side of rock bottom
And I hope that we keep falling
We're on the good side of bad karma
'Cause we keep on coming back for more
We're on the right side of rock bottom
Into you, I just keep crawling
You're the best kind of bad something
'Cause we keep on coming back for more
Keep on coming back for more
'Cause we keep on coming back for more
Keep on coming back for more"
Both Joe and Shyra ran off the stage.
"We keep on coming back for more."
Shyra sang the last line, probably from backstage.
"Goodnight, London!" She shouted into the mic.
And yet again, her fans went all out.

Kernstalion
One release per week [Hiatus in November due to NaNoWriMo] [Changed the Summary based on reader feedback. Thanks guys!] When Mitchel gets a birthday gift from his girlfriend Sandra - a pre-order version of the newest VR game, he is thrilled. Real-life graphics, full-body senses, and a mysterious world that nobody knows anything about seem like a great way to escape real-life for a few months or longer. Two days later, his dreams of a pleasant pastime are shattered. After meeting a rude welcome-NPC, getting a weak starting body, and having a near-death experience, he finds himself sleeping on the ground, cold and filthy. Unable to log-out, he now has frightening dreams where the tutorial-AI is walking around in his body plotting Earth's conquest. If that isn't enough, he slowly realizes that the game might not actually be a game but that he could very well be in another world. Can Mitchel find out what is going on and where Sandra is? Can he regain his own body, and would he still want to when all is said and done? [The Story] What this story is: A LitRPG, portal-like, slow-moving story with a protagonist who has to balance crafting and 'magic' to survive. The books have a pre-thought-out plot and finish. Also, the world is harsh, and things don't always go the MC's way. What it is not: A drama, romance, grimdark, although these elements might appear. I've had some feedback that the intro seems to set up a very rough life for the MC. There is a reason for this, and I hope you give it a try beyond the first few chapters. Do note, this is not an unreasonably harsh novel.

Now the world and cultures of Neolys must face their ancient past. A story of suffering, the intimacy it creates, and the will to fight against those who try to redraw the place you call home. The many characters in Neolys must unite and struggle against The Far Away Dream. Is a world of suffering worth fighting for? Is it insanity to fight for what hurts you? (I am in the process of rewriting/refurbishing this long story from one I wrote long ago and saved on my computer, into first person. I abandoned it many years ago. It will take time to figure everything out again and make the right changes. The Prologue/first chapter is supposed to be in third person)
