《Invisible {s.m}》Chapter 3
Advertisement
We sat around the dinner table and ate dinner. My mom made spaghetti, I honestly hate eating it in front of Cameron because I don't feel comfortable having sauce all over my mouth. I'm scared he'll find me disgusting. It wasn't always like this though, we used to play around together all the time. We grew up and things kind of got awkward. I think it's just puberty and hormones. I like Cameron to be honest, I'm just trying to figure out if I love him. Sometimes I'll get butterflies and other times he's just like a big brother too me. I guess he feels the same way because it gets pretty awkward between us.
"May I be excused" my parents nod and I get up. I walk towards the bathroom to see if I have sauce on my mouth. I'm also nervous so I want to pee.
The ambiance in the bathroom wasnt my favourite, the whole house felt weird. I just don't know how to describe how it felt, just weird.
I started to wash my hands and my mouth. I wiped my mouth with a towel and left it beside the sink. I turned around to grab it one last time to clean some water around the sink but it wasnt there anymore.
I was going crazy.
I looked around the bathroom to find the damn towel, i finally found it, it' was hanging on top of the shower curtain poll. How the heck did it get there.
I took the towel and cleaned my mess quickly so that I could run back to the table.
I sat back down in my chair and got dirty looks from my parents but Cameron just casually winked at me which made my heart melt.
I started to eat again but I felt something cold in my back.

"Do you guys feel the breeze" I said trying to take some of the awkwardness away.
"No" they all say at the same time. I nod and kept eating.
Once done we got up and put our plates in the sink. Cameron and I walked upstairs.
"Cameron can I stay with you until we go to bed"
He nodded and told me to take a seat.
He had plugged his tv so we could watch it. He put the movie "unfriended" how great a story with ghosts.
Ghosts. Maybe this house is haunted or something..
Cameron and I finished watching the movie and I am beyond scared there is no way I'm going to sleep alone in my room.
"Cameron can I sleep in your room"
He looked at me with sweet eyes.
"Sure, take the bed, I'll sleep on the floor"
I nodded no and told him his bed was big enough for two.
We just layed there awkwardly, we were far apart from each other and there was no way we were getting closer.
Further through the night...

Dominion Expansion (a 4X LitRPG)
Clay is one of the world's top players of 4X games, a genre where the goal is to eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate. He's also one of the only players in the world to so stubbornly stick to the one city strategy, a favorite tactic of his that involves only ever using a single city or planet depending on the game's setting. All that matters to him is winning with his favorite strategy, but earning the respect of his fellow players for taking a sub-optimal strategy to its highest level has always been a nice bonus. And now it is because of his skill and entertaining determination that he has been chosen to represent a higher realm in a strategy game where the fate of Earth and dozens of other worlds are at stake. To the victor goes the spoils, and the spoils include entire worlds and billions of lives. That's how he ends up representing the ascended realm of Hell in a grand "game" between an entire pantheon of godly beings and other higher powers. But while it may just be a game to those overseeing it, it is a genuine war for survival to those participating in it where billions of real lives will go to the victor of whoever wins, and many will die before the game is over. Quick Author's Notes: System inspired by Civilization, Endless Legend, Stellaris, and Crusader Kings 2. Combat mechanics inspired by the Total War series. Slow-paced with many long-term plans. Protagonist has a personality heavily inspired by Ron Swanson. Know who that is and love him? You should like Clay. Know who Ron Swanson is and hate him? You'll probably hate Clay. Planning on writing every single day (turn). Days with important things happening will have the system/game mechanics be the priority of the chapter. Days where there isn't really anything important happening will be more slice-of-life and focused on character interactions. Designed a dice-based randomized map generator to create the world as the story goes on, so I don't even know myself exactly what's going to happen as a lot is dependent on world generation. Tech tree with hundreds of technologies already designed. There is a "harem," but it's not the main focus, the girls won't be cardboard cutouts, and I'm not going to completely forget about any previous women in the relationship whenever a new one comes along. One last thing. The "game" starts off with primitive technology level. The current plan is for the "endgame" tech level to be equivilent to WW2-era technology. After that and war just gets boring until you end up in space. Cover is temporary and made from royalty-free stock images while waiting for the real cover's commission to finish.

8 177Death Galaxy
When portals opened across the world and space, people were a bit terrified. Naturally, some people called it the end times or some other negative interpretation. Thankfully, the new arrivals managed to calm the masses, saying they were here from across dimensions in search of peaceful refuge. After some discussion and promise from the reality hopers to not break the world, they were allowed asylum. And so, began a technological revolution as the new cohabitants, who looked distinctly human if a bit off, openly shared some of their knowledge with us. Space travel, while not cakewalks, become more easily accessible, as did interplanetary colonization. Naturally, with the New Humans keeping some of the more dangerous techs to themselves and Old Humans being a greedy bunch, tensions are arising as old and new grudges rear their ugly heads. The world endlessly spins as history, both good and bad, is seemingly on its way to repeating itself. Only with other planets, and potentially other universes, being the backdrop this time. But that was big stuff that Alex had no real interest in. They only care about one thing and one thing. TDAG. Trans-Dimensional Adventure Games. Best VR system ever made. Alex, instead of focusing on political and multiverse shenanigans, had their eyes set on VR games. Specifically, one of the new and up and coming potential best games of all times. Death Galaxy
8 160Cry of the Mer Extras
A collection of Cry of the Mer shorts and extras. This will mostly be a series of scenes from Luna's point of view. Things from her past and scenes that have already happened, but from the different perspectives. It may also include the same for other characters such as a look into the pasts of Katie and Riley as well. Basically all the world building stuff there isnt time for in the main plot. This is mostly what I'll be writing on my phone on my breaks at work to keep readers having some content as I cannot work on Heart of a Mer while there. Most of you know the situation already, so this is my compromise for less main content. I do take requests if there's something specific you want to see.
