About a week has gone by since Ethan and I blew up in each other's faces and I've still be hard at thinking about what to do with my family.
It's come to a point where I think it's best to at least talk to Vivian about what to do and where we should start to make sure our family doesn't suffer in her mistakes.
I've been up since 5am on a Monday morning trying to distract myself from the whole situation. It's been on my mind everyday, day and night, I needed a break, but nothing could get my mind off of my family.
Currently it was around 7:30am and Jordyn and Ethan have been downstairs eating their breakfast together before they both headed off to work.
I rejected eating with them because I felt bad for interfering with their lives. Just because I was feeling like shit didn't mean I had to bring others down as well.
I sat on the couch scrolling through my phone while they were talking quietly and drinking their coffee at the dining table.
"Alright." Ethan stood up while taking one last bite of his toast. "I gotta go to work." He took his plate over to sink and walked back to Jordyn who still sat on a chair.
"Drive safe." She said while Ethan leaned down to give her a quick kiss on the lips. I began to get uneasy on the couch.
"I will. Love you." He put his suit coat on and picked up his phone.
Love you.
That got me. I miss hearing that from my wife. I miss feeling that connection with her. I don't want to throw it away after all of this time.
I stood up off of the couch almost immediately and snatched my phone from the couch. I walked heftily over to my shoes and quickly put them on.

"Grayson, are you okay?" Ethan asked.
"I've gotta go talk to Vivian. I can't just sit silently anymore." I slipped my phone in my pocket and walked towards him again.
Ethan took a deep breath and I knew he was gonna go off on me again. He knows Vivian did some terrible stuff to ruin our family and he knows that it's best for my mental health not to go see her, but I have to.
"Look, I know what you're going to say." I cut him off before he could say anything else. "But I can't just sit here anymore and think about what's going to happen to my family, I have to do something."
"Do you want a ride over?" He looked up at me and I furrowed my eyebrows. "Nothing I say is going to stop you, so rather me pulling you away from Vivian, I'm just helping you get your family back together. You at least deserve that." He shrugged his shoulders.
"Thanks." I looked down at the ground, guilty that I accused him of being an asshole.
I wasn't expecting that...
"Let's go before she heads to work." My brother put his hand on my shoulder and we began to walk down the hallway and into the car.
Ethan started to drive to my and Vivian's home where I haven't been in over a week.
At first the drive was quiet between us two, which I appreciated. He knew I was internally freaking out.
"Do you have any idea what you're going to say?" Ethan asked as we turned into the neighborhood. We really didn't live that far from each other, maybe a ten to fifteen minute drive.
"No." I shook my head. "I just need to be there."

Many thoughts were going through my head, but no sentences were forming. I didn't know what I was going to say or even do. Hopefully her being there in front of me will spark up a conversation. I really need to work this out.
Ethan pulled into the driveway and thankfully Vivian's car was still here. I let out a deep breath and placed my hand on the car door handle.
"Want me to stay here for you?" He asked.
"Stay here for ten minutes, if I don't come back out before, then head to work."
"Good luck, buddy." He put his hand on my shoulder and smiled with his lips.
"Thanks, I'll need it." I tried to lower my anxiety levels by making a small joke, but it didn't work. "Okay." I said to myself and opened the door.
I wiped my sweaty hands on my pants and closed the door. I walked over to the front door and with every step I felt my heart began to feel heavier and heavier, but I kept pushing.
This is something I have to do. I have to try and get my family back together again. I have to take charge in this ugly situation and fix it.
It was now or never.

No Absolution, An Antagonist LitRPG
Colin is bored out of his skull and has been getting more and more restless of late, and his wife, McKenna, has noticed. To help, she decided to get him one of the most sought after devices on the planet, A headset for the Ineffable Gaming System and its revolutionary game Rosengard Worldwide. The most advanced virtual reality video game and the only one with a near-perfect total immersion system, McKenna hoped that the activity in the game could help him overcome his boredom for the foreseeable future. On his first day in the game, he's betrayed for loot, killed, and even made to suffer. Unknown to these players, Colin (DevilWalker in-game) was an Assassin for hire that takes loyalty and betrayal seriously. It was never just about business, and this was not just another aspect of the game for him. This game was a gift from his wife, and he wasn't just going to stop. Now these players and anyone who harbors them are on his list. There will be no compromise, no remorse, and No Absolution to any who betrays Colin Drummond, The DevilWalker. * * * * * * * * * * This story is a LitRPG Action/Adventure story that will feature levels, skills, abilities, monsters, douchebag players, exciting and cool equipment with so much more. I have so much planned for this that it should be fun and entertaining for readers who enjoy the LitRPG genre as much as I do. Please join me as I recount the tale of a man who becomes a legend — both in-game and out of it. I plan to attempt a weekly update schedule. Upload Sunday evening(for me). Warning! This story will involve some amount of cussing to help add some realism and some insinuated sex that will fade to black the moment the fun begins. I am hoping to mostly keep this Rated PG-13 with maybe a few Chapters going rated-R due to language.

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)

Monstrous Path
This story is both dark and lighthearted, it will have a lot of deaths and gore scenes but not just for the sake of being edgy or something like that. Every being comes from someone’s life — a womb, an egg, the world, a God, and from itself. Then what about me? I came from a container, so what does that make me? Am I still a being? “I do not know — I want to understand — why?” This was my driving force to live when I opened my eyes, I had no need for food, I only needed to satiate my curiosity. But as I learned early on, life was not as simple as it seemed. Note: The Characters in this world would always have a reason for living, and the world moves not just because of the MC. This would also have a lot of tearjerking scenes (or so I would hope) Culture, Race, Government, and Language can and will be different and though some Races like Elves and Dwarves are present, please do not think that they are the same as every other.
