***
Once a man lived in Japan, who was sick and tired of his wife. She was the most beautiful girl he ever saw when they got married. She had long black hair, amazing brown eyes and soft skin.
However, after years passed her appearance faded and she grew fat. Her face became wrinkled. He understood that she didn't attract him any more and decided to leave her. The man told the wife that he wanted to divorce and left home quickly. He rented an apartment in the city and began visiting bars and clubs to get a new love story. Little time passed and he got acquainted with fantastically beautiful young girl. She was 18 years old only, she was high and slim, she had long unfastened blond hair. He fell in love immediately and in couple of weeks he asked her to marry him.
The blonde agreed and moved to his apartment after they married. However, the time the blond had a ring on her finger her behavior had changed a lot. She was soft, nice and polite girl before the marriage, but after marriage she became rude and bold. She was very lazy and could sit near the mirror for hours, processing her make-up and looking into her reflection. She was very picky and made him spending all his money on her. She forced him to buy her new clothes, new jewelry, new devices and even a car.
Once the man came home and began examining the wife steadily. All this: make-up, eyeliner, mascara, eye shadow... hid her internal ugliness only. He started regretting that married her.
Years passed and the man missed his previous wife more and more. Yes, she was old and fat, but she was careful and attentive person. He cried when remembered her soft voice, her gentle smile and eternal patience. Now he regretted that he divorced with her.

Gradually he understood that he still loved his first wife and now he loved her even stronger, than he loved the blonde, to whom he felt passion only. He began understanding how deeply he offended the only woman who loved him truly. Sometimes he saw his ex-wife in a dream. She was sitting alone in her room and her long black hair closed her face. At night he used to ask himself questions about how she lived, what she did, whether she would let him back?
Once in the evening he decided to leave his current wife after the next terrible quarrel. He couldn't stand her any more and left the blond. He left the city and went into a long trip – back to the house of his previous wife. When he reached the street where they lived it was a deep night already. The house looked deserted. The garden ran wild and the windows were broken, The roof was lack of tile and the walls looked like they weren't painted for years.
He knocked but nobody opened a door. He pulled a handle and found the door was not locked. He entered the house. It was empty and silent there. The cold wind blew through the broken windows. He came upstairs and opened the door into the bedroom. He was surprised for his wife was sitting on the bed. He ran up to her, embraced her and began crying on her shoulder. He told her that he missed her very much and begged to forgive him.
Her face was closed by black hair, but he heard her gentle voice whispering in his ear:
- I am glad you came back to me – she told, - but only for a moment...
- Only for a moment? – he answered with laugh, - No, I came back forever. Now we may live the rest of our life together.

He moved the hear off her face and was going to kiss her. But when he opened his eyes he cried of horror. He saw a dirty, dusty skull instead of face. To his horror he realized that he was embracing a pile of dirty and dusty bones. The man stood up and threw his wife's remnants away with disgust. He was standing in the dim light of the moon and was shaking of fear. Nausea evaded his body.
He ran downstairs and ran out. He met a neighbor in the street and asked him who lived in the deserted house.
- Nobody lives there now – the neighbor told. – Several years ago it belonged to a woman, whose husband went. He divorced her to marry another woman. She was so frantic with grief that committed a suicide some time later.

Prehistoric Barbarian
The future became a peaceful utopia in the Core Regions. No crime, no wars, no conflicts, even rude behavior is rare. People became complacent and lazy.

Who would notice a few shady happenings when crime is a foreign concept and there is nobody to catch you? *Book 1 - Done.*

New Game (Reborn as a Reluctant Demon Lord, Book 1)
Portal Fantasy. Isekai. A daydream of nerds everywhere, leaving behind their boring world and living in a fantasy one that is full of adventure. A daydream that became a reality for me and 1000 other Comic-Con attendees. Except for me, it was more of a nightmare. Wanting nothing more than to find a way home, and also saddled with being the world's new [Demon Lord], I found myself trapped in a gamelike world and also somehow a part of the [Hero's] party. So join me as I tell the tale of my struggles. A tale of levels and skills. A tale of cagey game admins and bugs. And a tale of our party's grand quest to defeat... Well... Me. ---- What to expect from this book? 1. A main character who is not overpowered (and instead has to go from near-useless to strong. Not just weak to strong). If you are looking for an OP [Demon Lord] who laughs at his weakling enemies... This isn't for you. 2. A meandering pace as the characters aren't told how a lot of the world works and have to figure it out themselves. (And because there are a lot of characters. Whose idea was it to have a party of 9? I blame Jake) 3. A tragedy. A lot of things are not going to go well for the protagonist. (Not that everything is tragedy all the time. There is humor, laughter, friendship, and even a mascot monster character who got way more popular than I expected. But this is not a story that will leave you uplifted and inspired after every time you read it). ---- Release Schedule and publishing information: Book 1 is complete! I will include a link to book 2 once it has been started. Feel free to give feedback, positive or negative. ---- Other notes Book 1? Yes, this says Book 1. There are probably going to be 3 books. No, the plot as you can guess is not going to be tortured to drag out all the way to book 3. That would be ridiculous. If you can guess the plot of books 2 or 3 at any point before the last chapter of book 1, please use your clairvoyant powers for something more productive. TitusGM? This story is intentionally told under the username TitusGM because the idea is that he was the one actually writing everything down what happened after it all is over. I initially planned to answer everything in character on this site, but that just really didn't work out. If you want an in character response to a comment, simply prefix it with IC: (I also try to leave that as a reminder in the author's note after each new chapter) Cover art?
