《Winning Her Back in My Arms》Chapter 4
Advertisement
"Daddy wake up." I've heared a faint voice from someone I don't know who.
I've tried to move my finger,
And I did.
Sinubukan kong imulat ang mga mata ko,
At nagawa ko.
Ngunit tanging liwanag lamang ang nakikita ko.
"I'll call a doctor, you stay there honey." Rinig kong nagmamadaling saad ng isang babae.
Narinig ko ang pagbukas at pagsara ng pinto.
Pinikit ko muli ang mga mata ko, hindi ko maaninag ang nasa paligid ko.
Maya't maya pa'y narinig kong bumukas muli ang pinto, kaya binuksan ko muli ang mga mata, ngunit tanging blur na imahe lang ng babae'ng naka coat ang nakikita ko.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh." Napasigaw ako sa biglang pagsakit ng ulo ko, naisapo ko ang aking mga kamay sa nuo ko. Para iyong binibiyak sa sakit.
================
Nakita ko ang dahan dahang pagmulat ni Ace sa kaniyang mga mata, at ang unang pumasok sa isip ko ay ang tawagin ang kaniyang doktor.
"I'll call a doctor, stay there honey." Nagmamadali kong saad, na ang kausap ay ang aking anak na nakatingin lang sa kamay ng ama na gumalaw kanina lang. Hindi nito nakita ang pagmulat ng ama.
Agad akong lumabas, mabuti na lamang at nakita ko agad ang doktor ni Ace, agad ko itong tinawag.
"Doc, he's awake!" Tawago ko dito.
"Let's go!" Mabuti na lamang at naintindihan nito agad agad ang sinabi ko, nagmamadali kaming bumalik sa silid ni Ace.
Bagama't kinakabahan ay masaya ako. Naghalohalo ang nararamdaman ko ngunit mas nangingibabaw ang saya. Masaya ako at gising na ang ama ng anak ko. At hanggang duon na lamang yun.
Nakapikit na ito, ngunit maya't maya pa ay bumukas muli ang mga mata nito.
"Arggggghhhhhhhhhhh." Nagulat ako ng bigla siyang sumigaw, at namilipit sa sakit.
"Ahhhhhhhh." Sumigaw siyang muli, napaupo, sapo ang nuo. At maya maya pa ay gumulong na ito sa kama.

Agad namang nagsilapitan ang mga nurses sa kaniya at inalalayan siya para hindi siya mahulog sa kama.
Ewan ko ba pero ako ang nasasaktan sa nakikita ko.
"Mommy, what is happening to daddy?" Tanong ng anak ko, napabaling naman ako dito.
"I-I don't know, but don't worry the doctors will make him feel better." Sagot ko sa anak at muling bumaling kay Ace.
"Ahhhhhhh." Sigaw niyang muli, and I don't know why a lone tear escape from my eyes.
Napahinga naman ako nang maluwag nang huminto siya sa pagulong at napahiga ng maayos.
'Katahimikan'

Matapos ang mahabang katahimikan ay bigla siyang nagsalita, na para bang ang sarili lang niya ang kinakausap niya.
"Why can't I clearly see everything?" Tanong nito.
Lumingon lingon ito sa kung saan saan hanggang sa dumako ito sa gawi ko, ng anak namin.
Matagal niyang kaming tinitigan, pinikit pikit niya pa ang mga mata niya ngunit maya maya pa'y humiga rin siyang muli sa kama ng maayos.
Nanahimik na naman siya, hindi ko maintindihan ang kaba sa puso ko nung mga oras ring iyon.
Nagulat ako nang biglang bumaling si Ace sa gawi ko at nagwikang

Dungeon Core Chat Room.
This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building. Rank 1 description: (minimum met for system initialization...detailed description as follows) Each race was given a system by the gods to make up for their shortcomings and balance their place in this world. Humans: Abysmally bad at understanding and using magic unable to use more than the lowest of magic were given the "Skill System" magic in the form of premade skills with use, study, and mastery tied to experience. Elves: Intuitively understand magic and have long lives leading to vast knowledge and skill in their chosen fields. However, as a species, they have nearly zero sex drive and less than low fertility, so they were gifted the "World Tree System" with experience gained through the care of natural areas – gifting the chance of children to increase their numbers without dirty copulation. All “natural” or “wild” monsters are given an "Evolution system" designed around killing and consuming as many creatures as possible, slowly increasing strength and, at thresholds, allowing mutations to alter them multiple times. Dungeon cores are different. Unlike humans, they can see, manipulate and live off mana. Unlike Elves, they naturally crystallize after extended periods of time in high mana level areas. However, they cannot easily move or communicate and typically go insane without companionship. As a species other than the odd eccentric they are unimaginative. Brute forcing solutions without the drive to truly innovate. Thus they have been gifted with the "Dungeon Connection System" a magical version of the internet accessible by their peers that allows them to barter and sell: bait, traps, monsters, and knowledge, as well as entertain each other with “adventure streams” using exciting recorded battles and humorous reels of arrogant chumps biting off more than they can chew to often fatal effects. This is the casual story of a dungeon unluckily spawned far from potential adventurers forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in this world. Rank 2 Description: Justification. I've been on a dungeon core kick for months and while I love the genre – it's sparse with entries. Often the forced conflict gets repetitive and frantic solving of threats "power levels" the protagonist to god levels to progress the plot – taking away the nice steady progression fantasy I'm looking for. (Progression in this story is linked to how strong of monsters/traps/whatever he can create not his "level"...this is demonstrated by some of his newer monsters beating his older monsters not with discrete "this monster has 10 attack this one has 40") Additionally, the focus on 3rd parties with their drama takes away from the reason I’m reading dungeon core novels in the first place – I'm looking for magical crafting, experimentation and kingdom building – not defence from higher and higher levelled enemies looking to steal/destroy/control the MC. This novel is kind of just me writing the story I wish I could read. I like thinking about the experimentation that can be done in fantasy settings using 'mana' as an excuse to make up rules and try to keep them internally consistent. IE once I define how a rule works, I'm going to commit to keeping it – no breaking hard truths I've given when it's convenient, even if it backs me into a corner. Hopefully, that should make the story interesting to read even if it's SOL and less action-oriented. There will be problems to solve and a clear progression in strength (of created monsters and knowledge) however due to not wanting to force conflict for the sake of conflict the general theme will be closer to slice of life with few action sequences and no overarching goal so please keep that in mind when picking this up as the genre is not for everyone. Finally, I have a clear goal of what I want from this story (not an endless romp but a series of arcs and then a conclusion that's a couple of dozen medium-sized chapters long) I want to commit to finishing it or at least bringing it to a point of rest. I hate all the engaging stories that stop with a “hiatus” indefinitely so in the event I lose motivation I'll work to end this even if the ending becomes rushed/unsatisfying just to give a sense of closure. I’m planning on including several polls in terms of direction and taking feedback heavily into account if I get enough readers (but may choose to ignore it if it deviates too far from the direction I want to take this as in feedback like: “The MC needs a cartoonishly evil arch-enemy that wants to enslave him and force the mc to pump out magic items” or “the MC needs to make a body and learn teleportation then live with humans” will get shot down without consideration.)

The Dragon & The Demon
Orenda Nochdifache-Firefist has sucessfully overthrown the Empress Xandra and broken the empire to allow the individual colonies to return to self-rule, as well as abolished the chattle slavery that had plagued the land- earning her the title of "Orenda the Reign Ender". The Knights of Order have officially won the war in a bloody revolution, putting an end to the three centuries of warfare under Xandra's leadership. No longer must people live in fear of Xandra's puppet, The Emerald Knight. But now Orenda must face the realities of her dream- the imaginary princess has become queen. And, she has a deadly secret she must keep in the form of a teenage Urillian boy who is not what he seems. Anilla is still on a never ending quest to find her dragon; her people beleive that every memeber of their tribe is born with a soul bonded dragon that exists somewhere in the world- and Orenda's little secret claims to have seen Anilla's soul before. Could he be the key to ending her quest? This work is a direct sequel to The Crimson Mage, and will obviously contain major spoilers for that work, so it might be a better place to start (though I will warn you that the first chapter of that story may be the worst thing I've ever written. Just power through it or encorage me to put up a second draft). It can be found here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/21654/the-crimson-mage/chapter/307763/chapter-1

All World Online
Damien Close, age 19, becomes a quadriplegic after an unfortunate car accident, losing all function of his body from the neck down. With his parents in shock and his best friend suffering from unbearable guilt, Damien finds himself without much support. Being unable to even take his own life, Damien struggles to get past each day, looking for something to live for. With every passing day, Damien becomes more solemn and impassive. Three months later, Damien has almost given up, but to his surprise something unexpected happens. He is given the chance of a lifetime; to take part in a study focused on researching the effects of VR games on quadriplegic patients. Authors Note: If you find that the dialogue from the prologue to chapter 5 seem to be not that smooth, I apologize for that, it was my first time writing a fanfic so the dialogue was not in a format that is ideal. However, due to reader comments and some research I will try to attempt to improve the dialogue from chapter 6 and onwards. I may or may not come back to edit the first few chapters since I would have to rewrite most of it and I would rather spend that time writing out more of the story.
