《Insane》Chapter 4
Advertisement
He's back. Again. If this is what the weekend will be like.......no. Living in constant fear, I couldn't manage it. I'd go insane. Insane. I quickly exited the room and went to the kitchen.
My mom smiled. "Hey, I was just about to call you in for dinner!" We sat down, and ate mom's delicious cooking. Spaghetti. Who don't love spaghetti? I remembered something I could do over the weekend. It was kind of hard to say, though.
"Hey, umm......mom? Can I ask you something?"
"Of course, dear!"
I took a deep breath, then asked,"C-can I....maybe...you know.....v-visit Dad tomorrow?"
Her joyful face was replaced by a pained one. "Sweetheart, we talked about this already. Visiting him won't bring him back, and I think you're becoming too attached to him." She sighed, then continued. "Alright, if you want to, you can visit him, but only because I don't like the idea of you being inside all day."
I hugged her, overjoyed. "Thankyouthankyouthankyousomuchmom!" I said quickly.
"Why don't you invite Tara to join you? It's not ok to be alone, you know. Especially with.....him still being on the loose. I know it was a few days, and he might have forgotten about you, but he still could get you, Alice." Should I tell her? I mean, I told Tara. Then again, if she knew, he'd probably get her. I don't think he could get Tara, since she's in L.A.. Oh, yeah. L.A..
"I can't invite her to come with me, mom."
"Why not?"
"She's.....she's in Los Angeles."
"Why? How? When?"
"It's the exchange student program, mom. She'll be in LA for a month, and someone from L.A. is coming here." I noticed that I was finished with my food. I stood up to clear the table, but my mom interrupted me.

"Go on, I'll do it." I sighed and went off to my room.
I checked my E-Mails, and found one, with the title "" Yup, that's definitely Tara. I laughed and read it.
- TaraTheSexiness;D
I laughed at her mail. Seriously? The Statue of Liberty? That's Tara for ya, genius as ever. Well, I'm off to bed. It's only when I was in bed when I remembered what situation I was in. He's still after me. I walked over to the window and closed it. I went back to bed, and fell asleep. I hoped I'd get a good night's sleep for once.
Well, my wish wasn't granted. I mean, he didn't come in, but now that I think of it, I think he could've gotten in if he wanted to. I still didn't sleep that well since, around 3 AM, there was a knocking on my window. Slow, even knocks, and that continued through the whole night. It didn't really help with the sleep issue, and now it was 6 AM. I couldn't fall asleep anymore so I stood up and walked to the kitchen to get myself some breakfast, finding a note on the fridge:
PANCAKES!!!! I fixed myself the plate, and ate them. Pancakes. Fix. Everything. Period. At least while you're eating them. It wasn't until after breakfast that I realized that the weekend had started now. Wait.....did I....? No.....I'm not that stupid...am I? I glanced at the dining room, and realized the window was open.
I ran over to close it, until I heard that his voice, "I'm afraid it's too late for that, little Alice."

The Emperor's Chef
"Cook like your life depends on it, kid. Because it does." Charles had an enviable future lined up for him. Training from the age of five by some of the finest chefs in the world. Schooling at a top culinary academy in the capital. An honorable position as heir to House Boulier, a line of merchant-lords who have charmed the rich and powerful with their cooking for centuries. And in a single night, it all burned to ash. When the outbreak of war destroys his hometown, Charles is charged with escorting his family’s sacred treasure—a recipe book passed down for untold generations—out of harm's way. But his simple mission grows complicated when he’s captured by one of the most feared battalions in the world: the Spears of Mercy. Life as a prisoner in their war camp is brutal and uncertain. Charles has few allies and even fewer strengths to rely on. Only his skills in the culinary arts, honed over a lifetime in the kitchen, are deemed useful enough to keep him alive another day. But he’s not out of hope just yet. With a dash of wit, a pinch of luck, and some very creative cooking, he might just find a way to recover his family’s legacy and take back his freedom. This project is a food-themed fantasy that centers on cooking and chefs. The setting spans a wide world featuring ingredients/recipes both real and inspired by traditional fantasy. I'll eventually be publishing it as a full-length novel (or series of novels depending on length). These are the first draft chapters. I'll likely be re-writing more than once, then editing before publishing, so impressions and feedback are quite welcome. If you like the story so far and you're interested in being an early reviewer for the final product, feel free to message me. I'm looking for an artist to make some concept art and a cover (the cover shown here is just a temporary placeholder). A stand-alone novel for now, but it may turn into a series down the road.

Forced Development (What does it truly mean to live a fulfilling life?)
To get things started I would like to admit that this story does not bring much new to the table when it comes to the over-saturated Litrpg genre in terms of things like mechanics and power systems. Then what exactly am I trying to bring to the table with this work? A nice slow-paced novel about people maturing and growing older think of it as the re: zero or jobless reincarnation of Litrpgs. A story that tries to take into consideration how a worldwide system would affect the economics and culture of a world. A story that is much more character-focused than the typical heavy progression-focused novels this genre is known for. The RPG system, like any good power system, is there to actually explore the themes of the story and not just as a plot device for characters to get stronger. This is a story where we will see the growth of the Mc from being a baby to when he dies of old age. With plenty of heart-racing actions and intriguing plot developments along the way. Exploring themes like; What does it mean to improve at something and what does it mean to mature as a person? How does magic, the constant threat of monsters and people so much stronger than the average joe that they can destroy countries affect one's culture both on the micro and the macro scale? How people are affected by the culture in general? Generational trauma Nature vs Nurture Talent vs hard work What is morality, society, and people's opinions on both? What does it mean to be human and what does it mean to be alive in the context of a world with multiple sapient species vastly different from one another in basic biology? All these questions are going to be explored from multiple angles using the system as a catalyst for those discussions. So if any of does questions sound interesting to you what are you waiting for, I'm sure you are going to love this story. PS - Chapter come out every Friday at about the same time.
