-Grammar issues? Yep-
!!TW!! Possession, Ghosts, Weird stuff !!TW!!
Ranboo got up out of bed, a flashlight in hand. Tubbo by his side, both had whistles around their necks. It had been a week or two since the 'Me and the Tree Demon' stream, and since then there had been a couple of strange apparitions.
"Quickly, we need to lock the doors and shut the windows! Tubbo you get the front, Ranboo get the back, and I'll get the rooms!" Lani ordered, everyone heading off in their coordinated direction.
Ranboo rushed to the room he was assigned to and made sure the doors were locked first. Then checked the windows were ceiled and then rushed back to the main room to meet the others. Lani was there waiting for him, both now waiting for Tubbo.
He's taking longer than usual, I should go check on him. No, no, Ranboo. Give him some time, it's only been a couple of minutes.
Lani and Ranboo looked at each other, and then rushed off into Tubbo's assigned area. They stopped halfway, finding Tubbo standing in front of the front door. He was holding his arm, his back to them. He looked like he was in pain. Ranboo took a slow step forward, Tubbo's head popping up. He looked back at them with glassy eyes. It looked like he had tears in his eyes, but he wasn't crying, and he had a grim look on his face. Like Ranboo had just scared him while playing VR.
"Tubbo? You alright man?" Ranboo asked worriedly.
Tubbo's eyes widened suddenly and he spun around to face them. Then he launched himself towards Ranboo. Ranboo in surprise fell back, Lani trying to catch him, and Tubbo reached out towards where Ranboo had been standing. As Ranboo fell he caught a glimpse of Tubbo and a dark blurr colliding with each other. Tubbo knocked it back and both tumbled onto the floor behind him. Lani grabbed Ranboo's arm at the last second and helped him up. The two of them turned around to see Tubbo and the figure Ranboo had seen before, fighting. The dark figure melted away as Tubbo threw it against a wall. Ranboo and Lani stood there in shock.

Did Tubbo just-just kill the monster I keep seeing?
"T-t-tubbo?" Ranboo asked, his voice quiet and shaky.
Tubbo turned to look at them, taking a couple of wobbly steps forward before falling to the ground. Lani and Ranboo rushed over to his side, after calming down a bit.
"Tubbo, are you okay!" Lani asked, examining his face.
He was still awake, but he looked like he was about the pass out.
"I-I... I don't know. Everythi-ing is spinning." Tubbo answered slowly.
"Thank goodness you're not dead." Lani muttered to herself, then checked Tubbo for any wounds.
"Wha-what happened? Why are you two here? I wasn't gone for to-th-that long." Tubbo stuttered, looking up at them wearily.
"We got worried." Ranboo explained.
"Worried? I was doing fine!" Tubbo giggled a bit and sat up. "My head still feels weird, and I feel like there are spiders on me or something."
"Alright, can you stand?" Ranboo asked Lani and then they helped him up.
"I still have legs, right?" Tubbo asked confusedly and looked down at his legs.
"Yes?" Ranboo nodded and looked at Lani awkwardly.
"I think I can stand, let me try." Tubbo said, Ranboo and Lani let go of Tubbo for a moment.
Tubbo wobbled a little but could walk on his own. He walked like he was drunk, and had been talking like he was too. His feet kind of tripped and caught themselves.
"Tubbo, are you sure you're alright?" Lani asked, "You seem kinda sick."
"I feel kinda sick." Tubbo laughed. "Woah."
Tubbo grabbed his head and was about to fall. Ranboo and Lani raced to his side, catching him before he could fall.
"You alright Tubbo?" Ranboo asked as they helped Tubbo get stable again.

"Something- Some...." Tubbo trailed off.
"Tubbo?" Ranboo shook him softly.
It looked like Tubbo had fallen asleep, the group stopped in Tubbo's room. Tubbo dragging the two down with him.
"Woa-Ah!" Ranboo yelped as he tried to quickly put Tubbo on his bed.
The two looking at each other confused and also still quite frightened by their earlier experience.
"Your Ranboo right?" Tubbo said suddenly, scarring Ranboo and Lani half to death.
"What the h*ll Tubbo!" Ranboo frowned, turning back around to scold Tubbo.
Tubbo's eyes were still closed, but he tilted his head and faced them as if he could see where they were standing.
"Um... Tubbo?" Lani questioned Ranboo thinking the same.
"Not Tubbo, actually." Tubbo said, his voice sounding a little distorted.
"What." Ranboo shivered, his voice quiet.
"What'd you call me? Tree demon? It's not bad actually, but I much prefer Hexis." Tubbo said, or more accurately, Hexis said.
"He-Hexis?" Lani was pale and on the verge of crying.
Ranboo, also pale and shaking, muttered, "Tree demon... S-so I was r-r-right, Tubbo did g-get p-p-possessed."
"Correct, but don't worry, I won't hurt anyone. I am just trying to keep ya'll from getting hurt." Hexis said, Tubbo shivering. "I'll leave you alone now, I just had to make that clear. Stay safe."
Tubbo opened his eyes, looking around in confusion. Ranboo and Lani were still in shock, but were calming down.
"Woah, what just happened." Tubbo sounded normal again, the distortion in his voice was gone.
Tubbo looked at the still very pale Ranboo and Lani, everyone stared at each other for a moment.
Ranboo broke the silence first, "We have some explaining to do."
"Oh no, lemme guess, I'm possessed or something." Tubbo frowned.
Ranboo and Lani looking at each other worriedly.
"D*** IT! I don't want to be possessed though! I thought it was supposed to be you Ranboo." Tubbo whined.
"Well, it looks like it isn't." Ranboo stated shakily.
"Yeah, that felt weird. I was like floating in a void there for a moment." Tubbo laughed a bit and then paused for a second. "So what happened?"

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!!

8 207After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
