《Love and war》Underland

Ruby's POV
I landed in dark murky water, I swam my way out until I hit some sort of shore. I got up and there was a dark lake around me and just darkness all around the land I was on. It was like Wonderland just darker, creepier, and just depressing, this must be the Underland. The Underland is a land located directly below Wonderland and hold the most weird, creepy, dark things that Wonderland has rejected, no wonder there's such a bad vibe, everything here has been "rejected". I started to walk around Underland when I saw a long table, it was weird because it was literally in a clearing surrounded by trees with little doors carved unto them. I walked up to the table to see a weird man in a hat and a talking Hare.
They didn't pay any attention to me until...
"I s- I sen- I sense....... Something hahahahahaha." The Hare laughed manically. The man in the hat joined in.
"Um excuse- um excuse me."
They immediately stopped laughing and it was silent they both turned they're heads.
"Alice?" The man in the hat said.
"No, I'm Ruby."
"Well I wish you were Alice.... it's her UN-BIRTHDAY." he replied
"What's an Un-birthday?" I asked quietly.
A smile popped on to the mans face.
"An unbirthday is a day where it's not your birthday and we celebrate it. Have some tea"
He handed me a teacup.
"Um thankyou.... hey do you know how to get back up to wonderland from here?"
"Uh why would you want to go to such a dreadful place." the Hare asked.
"Um my mother is Queen and she's being threatened by my grandmother who I guess is an evil queen-" The hat man cut me off.

"Your Queen Regina's daughter?"
"Yeah I figured it out a couple days ago.... well my boyfriend did but that's beside the point. But do you know a way out of here. Will you help me?"
Then we heard the galloping of horses in the distance.
"Cora's men.... here eat this!" The hat guy handed me a small cake and I ate it. I think shrunk down to the size of a mini Barbie doll. He shoved me in a tea pot and hid me.
I could still hear everything though.
"Will Scarlett, to what to I own this surprising unpleasure." the heat guy giggled out.
"We're looking for a girl."
"Aren't we all." the Hare cut him off.
"Anyway, have you seen her about yea high and dark hair?"
"And why does Cora want this girl?" The hat dude asked.
"It's QUEEN CORA, and its part of our deal, she will kill this girl in exchange for Regina murdering Anastasia."
Peter's POV
I kept running down the endless rounds of staircases.
"Mr. Pan."
I turned to see Cora.
"Cora darling, long time no see."
"Well I've been... that's beside the point, you wouldn't happen to know where your little girlfriend is now would you." she asked. Its time to shut in the Peter and bring out the Pan.
"Yes I do... but I'm afraid I cannot let you, because then you'll kill her and if she dies I'll be very mad and then you would die. It's all just a really bad ripple effect." I said smirking.
"And what makes you think you can stop me little boy."
"Cora you know as well as I do that I am old enough to be your father and that your power is no match for mine, especially when I'm REALLY motivated."
"Ok Pan... I have a deal for you."
"Oh dearie, my son is the one you should be talking to."
" If you find Ruby, you will leave Wonderland, never to come back, if you chose this I won't hurt a hair in her pretty little head."
"I'm sorry, I don't make deals with children." I responded once again smirking.
"Ok then, it's a race, a race to find Ruby."

The Madec Legacy
The dawn of Emotion Based A.I.s is here, John is the fifth test subject to have an AI implemented in his brain, and so far the first one to survive. Blinded by the dream of immortality, the researchers push the tests to inhumane standards. John is obligated to take part in sessions of torture designed to test the limits of the AI influence over the physical and mental health. What was supposed to be a new beginning in life turns into living hell. An (un)lucky twist ends his life. John then reincarnates with his AI in a new world where a System influences the interaction between Magic and Matter. With seemingly limitless potential and a game-like system influencing the world, the hero sets on his journey. --AUTHOR NOTE, PLEASE READ-- I will state here my promises to you, potential reader: 1. No harem! I don't trust myself to make a harem feel natural or healthy, I never met any person who has a personality that can adapt and live in a harem for reasons that are not monetary, so I can't draw inspiration from real life. Sorry!; 2. The enemies will not be bland and illogically mean. Some may feel like that at first, but I will take great care in fleshing them out, trust me. You may end up hating some, but you won't be able to deny that they had their reasons for what they did; 3. I am using a paid (and expensive) automated editor tool, and I take longer to write because I take my time in editing the stuff. I am aiming to improve and I will not shy away from constructive criticism, nor take offense for no reason; 4. Characters will die and will suffer, some will get over the tragedies and improve, others will not be as resilient. 5. This novel has a lot of ground to cover, it is neither a short story, a manual on crafting, or the script of some action scene. There will be both time skips and oversimplifications of some actions for the sake of moving the story forward. Time skips will be more prominent in the first 30 chapters. I will describe crafting processes and fights with more detail if they are essential for the chapter; 6. If I took my time describing something, it's because it is important. I hate novels that waste time describing useless stuff. If you skim over something, the chances are that something in the future will not make sense. I am an adept of "Chekhov's gun" principle; 7. I already have 31k words on my auxiliary documents, I have a plan for the story, and I will not be making changes even if someone ends up noticing some foreshadowing and figures out what will happen. The story comes first. 8. I have a wife, a job that demands 9h every day and courses related to my job (lawyer) three days of the week, it's unlikely that I will be able to do mass releases at all. I will have a healthy amount of chapters to be able to post at least 1 chapter every day continually. Don't worry. 9. I will read all the comments. I will listen to all you have to say and will try my best to accommodate demands as long as they do not hamper the path I prepared. 10. There is an arc that spans the entire novel. Each volume will be an arc in itself while progressing a little bit of the main arc. Every arc will have one or more main antagonists. I think that's it! Thank you for reading it all. Have an awesome time reading my first novel!!

Sturmblitz Kunst: Becoming a Dissident for Martial Arts
"I don't care what you read in some old, dusty tome. You can spend decades chasing an outmoded cultivation method that'll probably lead to a faux-breakthrough trap from the Emperor that turns you into a walking impurity tumor, or you can give me a couple months and I'll teach you how to punch through someone's head." - Zelsys "Sevenfold Storm-conqueror" Newman, Founder of the Newman Family The world at large has just begun its recovery from the nigh-apocalyptic War of Fog.
