I try to balance it out by making quite a few other people OP.?Written in South African English which means closer to the British Standard.?- - -Warning: Mature Content ?Violence, Language and Adult Themes ?List of My Novels:?Realm Eternal??Crystal Guardian ??Exiled Nomads of the Galaxy??Soul Vessel Psyche?

Novus Etá
Housing an estimated two point five billion people, over some two hundred thousand square kilometres of self-sustaining metropolitan real estate. Novus Etá is an overcrowded dystopian marvel. Filled to the rafters with every personality imaginable and their intricately interwoven life journeys, everyone has a story worth telling. Irintia Farvald, a young carefree soul eager to taste life before its inevitable expiration, spends her days carousing with her close-knit like-minded crew and getting high on urban thrills. However minor actions bring forth cataclysmic ramifications, leaving them to grapple with the degenerate infrastructure deeply entrenched in the streets of the megacity. On a path fraught with treachery, betrayal and revenge, Irintia struggles to maintain a modicum of humanity, questioning her own significance in a nonsensical world.

Reincarnated as a Camera: I Will Build up a Worldly Portfolio

I hoped that I had, at the very least, become something cool and durable. So, what is this? I can't move myself, I can't speak to others, I can't even blink, and you're telling me that I became a camera with only 10 shots left? And I can't even take photos by myself! Just you wait, I will show you what I can do once I grow into the best camera in this fantasy world. [Also posted on ScribbleHub(dot)com]

Dreamland
Dolores is a lucky girl with a high-level avatar in a very popular game. She did not level it up; she got it through some fortunate circumstances. She is not interested in fighting and levelling; all she wants is to have some fun and follow her own fantasies. If only there would not be all those idiots who intend to kill her, capture her, or simply use her. And those flaws in the game! Wait, what? Those pesky game characters now appear in the real world? And they can do magic? How did this happen? Adding to her troubles, her crush does not even look at her. As Dolores tries only to survive and hide between 'normal' people, she encounters stranger and stranger things that force her hand and, in the end, she has the answers to a lot of questions. It is a slow-developing story. I had a lot of fun writing it and hope to share it with you, dear reader if you also enjoy it. On the other hand, putting it in an acceptable form requires much work and energy. I intend to bring it to its end and not let it unfinished. I hate it when I encounter unfinished stories, so I understand the feeling. This is not a classical isekai story. There is travel between the two worlds, and the game world seems to be so very real... well, this is one plot of the story. This is not an MMORP game story. Part of the action happens inside a game world, but it is treated as a real world. Updates on a weekly basis, at least Monday and Friday, with additional bonus chapters as time and energy allow. Cover art: White Flower as A Dark Fairy by Darkrealmsmaiden Yolanda gracefully allowed me to use her dark fairy as cover. There are many more beautiful works of art to be discovered at her site: https://www.deviantart.com/darkrealmsmaiden Additional Grammar Trigger Warning: As a non-native speaker, I do my best. Unfortunately, this is not enough for people with a low tolerance for warped sentences and... they may want to skip the story :( Well, you have been warned :) I appreciate it when a reader points out a sentence that needs rework. That may spare a follow-up reader some pain and helps me understand where my English grammar problems are. * We thought we made the best game in Earth's history We thought we made the best interfaces ever seen We thought we made it - lifelike But it far exceeded our expectations. Dolores, I hope you're happy now. I hope you're alive now...
