"No, no. What do you mean you're leaving?" Hyagura sobbed through the line, her body shaking at every word she uttered. Complete shock and sadness ruining her. She was fine last week, in fact she was better than ever, she didn't expect things to escalate that quickly, she just started, no. She hasn't even started, she didn't know what they were yet, and everything was happening too fast.
"Ya— Yagu, Hyagura, honey don't cry sweetcakes." Yuta laughed, his voice breaking, hearing her break down. "Don't leave me..." The girl whispered, she had no strength anymore. She couldn't do anything, he was gone. That was it, they were done. The other end beeped continuosly, indicating that the call had dropped. Hyagura dropped her phone on the ground as Sana tried to console her friend. "There there hun. Stop crying, he'll be back sooner or later." The younger nodded and slowly melted into Sana's arms, trying her best to mend her broken heart.

8 months later... I know, too soon.

Things went pretty great for Hyagura a few months later. She tried to forget about him, the boy who made her happy for the first time in 2½ years. She started a new life, in Seoul, Korea, where she would graduate as a biologist and repay everyone who helped her, including Sana, who was still supporting her til the very end. "Hyagura!" Hyagura was startled as someone knocked from outside her door. The person knocked repeatedly annoying the poor girl. "What do you want Doyoung?" She yelled as the said guy continued to knock continuosly. "Breakfast is served." He said and rushed to the kitchen downstairs. Hyagura rolled her eyes and stood up from her bed, opening the door and making herself go downstairs.

While she was still in Japan, she contacted a former friend and asked her where she could stay in Korea, since she lived there for a while. Hyagura's friend told her that she had a cousin living in Seoul, the girl agreed delightfully, accepting the offer. Later did she regret living with her friend's loud cousin, Doyoung. He was an annoying flirt that was so full of himself, he was a narcissist and he loved to tease Hyagura. She wasn't used to live with a guy around her age since she did live with Sana for almost 5 years. It was tempting to slap him, and she almost did, but couldn't.
Doyoung was handsome, she'll give him that. But his attitude, it was eh. He was nice to Hyagura from time to time, but most of it, not too much. Although, the girl became used to him that she would fire comebacks everytime she can. He also had great friends who would always come into his apartment and hang, they were pretty chill and also strikingly handsome. They would side with Hyagura when both her and Doyoung would argue which would make him pissed. Who wouldn't be? Your own friends siding with a girl who was known to just be living with you. But still, they enjoyed being roommates.
"What the hell is that?" Hyagura commented with disgust as she saw the meal Doyoung prepared. The eggs were burnt, and the waffles looked rock hard. She slowly poked it with a fork and cringed as she looked at the boy who was slowly killing her with his eyes. "Breakfast, enjoy." He sassed and continued to drink his orange juice, store bought orange juice. "Nuh-uh, no way I'm eating that. It doesn't even look like it's edible." She pushed the plate away and decided to make herself a toast instead. "What did you even eat for breakfast?" He rolled his eyes and put down his phone on the table before answering. "Now, you won't believe me when I tell you." She scoffed and leaned back. "What?" He took a breathe and looked at her.

"Food."
"Oh my gosh, what a nice answer. But please be specific." Doyoung rolled his eyes again and looked intently at Hyagura, spurting out the words as fast as he could. "Golden dough rolled in a perfect circle, topped with red sauce that had been cooked to perfection. Sauteed mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, and ham. Emmental cheese straight from the Netherlands, baked in a stone oven in France. Delivered hot and steaming right at your doorstep, heavenly salty with a bit of sweetness to the taste, that's what we call pizza, for short."
Now, Hyagura was the one who rolled her eyes and threw the stoned waffle at the boy.

Legendary Farmer (available on Kindle July 2022!)
NOTE: Legendary Farmer is now COMPLETE. The first book, Clearing, was released on Kindle Unlimited July 5, 2022 with significant edits. I will post the first chapter of Clearing, as well as three chapters of Cuckoo's Dream, another novel in the LF universe, as a stub, with a link to the first book, so if you love LF and want me to be able to keep writing consistently, please go give Clearing five stars! In the VRMMORPG, Veritas Online, things are getting a little stale. Since the game launched, only one world- wide event has occurred, and that was a year ago.. The players are still having fun, but everyone agrees it’s about time for something big to happen. Everybody tends to forget that big things grow from small things, and little things are always changing in Veritas.The human country of Quarternell is at peace for the first time in... ever. Aspen, a former war hero, feels like he’s earned a quiet life together with his animal companions. They’re tired of fighting, and other people in general. They plan to live peacefully, far away from the city. As soon as Aspen figures out this farming thing out, he’s never going to go anywhere again. Unfortunately for Aspen, his country and his goddess aren’t quite done with him yet.Rouge the Rogue is a casual gamer in Veritas Online. She’s just a kid, and her focus is supposed to be on school and hanging out with friends. Emphasis on ‘supposed to’. She’s already pretty good at the school thing, and she doesn’t actually have that many friends. What she really loves is exploring all the cool ways the developers of Veritas found to make their game unique and realistic. Then she’s offered a very special quest, and an opportunity to go beyond the average player. She’s never been that much of a rule follower anyway....Clearing is appropriate for most ages. It has minimal foul language, no sex, and some violence. It is LGBTQ+ friendly. (P.S. IMPORTANT! This book contains very mild profanity, no sex, and is meant to be FUN. Yes, the characters sometimes think Deep Thoughts, and idealism pretty much runs rampant, but, in the end, I hope you just enjoy reading it. Laugh, cry, share it with your kids, read it to your dog, whatever makes you happy. My goal is for it to be accessible to everyone from ages 12ish on up, so you could definitely consider it YA, but with lots of big words because I don't believe in talking down to my readers.) Book Two: Harrowing (Starts after the original Chapter Fifty, now Sixteen, since I condensed chapters from the same perspective together.) Zoey has started her summer internship at Veritas Corporation, and she can honestly say that being an adult is boring. Until she starts learning secrets she was never supposed to know. In game, Rouge is finally making progress on her big quest. Apparently Duke Penbrooke took too long to return to the world, so the world is coming to get him... in the form of a few assassins. Aspen is going to have to face the life he left behind, and deal with the fact that it's not as easy being 'dead' as he thought. When what he'd hoped would be a short trip back to civilization to resupply turns into a whole lot more, he'll have to fight for his life, his friends, and his kingdom. Book Three: Sowing Rouge and Aspen have reached Bright, only to find that their enemies were already expecting them. They will have to quickly unravel the mysteries of who their opponents actually are, because they're already ten steps behind. Rouge and Aspen are finally home, but that doesn't mean they can return to their peaceful days of farming. Their enemies are hot on their heels and determined to destroy everything they've managed to achieve. Join them and all their friends for the final volume of Legendary Farmer.

The VocaLords
Gumi and her best friend Miku front a rock band called The VocaLords. Using her cherrywood Les Paul guitar as a weapon against evil, Gumi also pursues a more pressing agenda -- sending deserving souls to Hell where they belong. Everything starts going wrong when VioLinja -- a violinist with a God Complex -- is allowed to join the band. A very big God Complex. Thanks to VioLinja, Gumi must set Hell loose upon the world she sought to save. Alone and half alive, without her bandmates or her best friend, Gumi struggles to contain the havoc VioLinja wreaks. Things start going right when a mysterious, sea-faring man who goes by the acronym of T.O.P. comes to Gumi's rescue. Aboard his research ship in the Sea of Okhotsk, T.O.P. helps Gumi prepare for her final battle against VioLinja's reign of terror. * * * * * * * * * * * * The VocaLords is written as if it were a series of thirty minutes animes. Each Episode will consist of a sixty second teaser, followed by three to five chapters of about ten minutes reading time apiece. Each Episode will also contain one or two songs I have written personally, with the lyrics incorporated into the storyline. I hope you have as much fun reading it as I have had with writing it.

The Beta Test
Our nameless narrator participates in a beta test for an early VRMMO game Meridian 60. That's not the real name but it captures the spirit of the adventure given the chronological and contextual era of the game. His character is unique and special but purely for mundane reasons and not because of any inherent or social significance. The first chapter which is mandatory to submit a story on RR serves as a bit of a prologue with some exposition, although I limited that to a reasonble level. I plan to begin releasing additional chapters starting Thursday, to align with the 48 hour submission approval process and also because I have something to do Wednesday. I haven't written anything but the summary and first chapter, nor have I plotted anything out. This is because my plan is to release roughly 34000 words a day, 10 chapters of ~12.5 pages each, for 3 days at which point the story will be complete. I'd have liked to plan for more but handling the interface tables and so forth needed for a data heavy litrpg slows down the writing process. 100k words is a bit short, a standard pre epic fantasy 300 page spec fic novel, but this is mostly a writing exercise and I am considering a longer project if I can maintain the pace. Probably do a different concept, maybe a dungeon core, over 5 days, since a 500 page novel is more common these days. Slight subversion of VRMMO stories Stat heavy/crunchy No paying your bills by gaming No out of game conspiracies No angst, interpersonal drama, or damsels/dudes in distress Schedule is 30000 words a day excepting the first chapter, a limitation of RRs fiction submission system Fantasy, high magic, male lead, no party, guild, or harem No gore, some profanity, no sexual content, and no current plans for anything traumatic
