Here we meet again.
Laying inside the altair, he rested, as if he was only soundly sleeping.
I, by reaching onto him and holding him in my arms, brought me back to the day I woke up trapped under that white blanket.
Confusing and far away as was that day, the smell, the feel, I still remember it clearly, as if it happened yesterday.
This left me, for a time, wondering how come, the power I was bestowed upon birth was so intent on keeping me entirely unaware of your existences ?
It took me a while to understand, but now that I stand here before you today, all thanks to your present, I realize why.
Not only was it to cope with this pain in my chest and the thing I was missing which I initially thought were only memories, but was in truth you,
The fear and guilt of being me.
It hurts, yes, yet it was and is still worth living through with and remembering.
Time have passed, I've come a long way, and I know that without the two of you, never would’ve come this far.
From you I was brought upon this world, from that alone I cannot afford myself to forget.
I’ve lived, I’ve learned. I will remember and will no longer forget.
I am not you, I am not him, I am me.
I am neither of you, yet without you, I would never be me.
I am your brother.
I am your brother but from now on, now that I know, I get to choose to be what else I want to be beside that,
Which is why today, I have come, to announce my upcoming departure.
I will go on a journey, a very long one.
Through this short existence, I managed to do many things wrong, things which I’m too ashamed to expose.

But this one, this journey I plan to go through, will be different.
I want to go through it thinking that you, brothers, are somewhere looking at me with not shame but pride.
With my own wings, wings you gave me, I will fly.
Today, I have come to join path with that with at birth I had parted ways with.
What was missing will now be returned to its rightful place.
May you rest as a part of me, my other half, and may again we meet properly somewhere, beyond the atlas of time and space.
Here we meet again.
Laying inside the altair, he rested.
The sight, brought me back to the day I woke up trapped under that white blanket.
Confusing and as far away as was that day, the smell, the feel, I still remember it clearly, as if it happened yesterday.
Reaching onto him, and holding him in my arms, forgotten feelings came mellowing my heart.
What I felt right now, made me remember that for a while, I wondered how come, the power I was so bestowed upon birth was so intent on keeping me entirely unaware of your existences ?
It took me a while to understand, but now that I stand here before you today, I realize why.
Not only was it to deal with this pain in my chest, but aslo fill up that gap that which I, to be whole lacked.
The thing part of me missing which I initially thought were only memories, but was in truth you,
It hurts, yes, yet it was and is still worth living through with and remembering.
Time have passed, I've come a long way, and I know that without the two of you, I never would’ve come this far.

Until a fateful day when a game of hide and seek turned into tragedy. When she woke up, her life had turned on its head, everything she had now slipping away from her. That day her quiet life began— an unforgiving life where all odds are stacked against her. **************** Hi there! This is my first webnovel story! I hope you will enjoy it and help me make it better! I try to keep my chapter lenghts between 1,500-2,500 words The story will follow Silika, the young daughter of an aristocratic count who becomes handicapped and must adapt to a world not designed for people in her situation. She will have to struggle through her disability, religion, family, abuse, trauma and politics. The world will not be kind to her, but she will find her place. The tone is a bit darker at times in this story, but not in 'edgy' or 'grimdark' way. They reflect the main character's struggles. There will be happy times, funny times, but also sad times and painful time. The main character will grow and learn in what I hope will be a very interesting experience for you all to read!

The Depths of Magic
Synopsis It's the year 2052 and the release of the new next-generation full-dive VRMMO game called The Depths of Magic is hitting the world by storm. The game's technology will surpass all other games before it and shock the masses. Hector who goes by the name Locke inside the game is an experienced player of the genre. He is looking to continue his goal of enjoying gaming as well as the competition that goes along with competing for the top ranking spots. Novel Summary The Depths of Magic is a LitRPG novel focused on a Fantasy VRMMO setting. This is not a harem novel. In-Game systems The Depths of Magic features state-of-the-art technology never before seen in Hector's world. The key system the novel will bring up often is the Second Brain. The Second Brain system is more like a guidance AI for the players in the game that acts as if you had a second brain assisting your every action. How much guidance this AI will give is based on its experience or mastery skills a player will receive in the game. The guidance is seamless to a point where a player won't even realize they are being assisted, it's will feel like what they are doing is something they could always do. However, once they leave the game it will become quite apparent that they were receiving heavy guidance. The purpose of this system in a writing sense is to explain why a player can realistically become more powerful, more agile, or more skilled than they would otherwise be able to as a human. To give an example if someone could move faster than a bullet, how would a normal human brain be able to perceive and control this movement properly. Or how could a player who has never held a sword before become as experienced as someone who has trained with the sword all their lives? The magic system will be another focus of this novel. I don't want to spoil anything here but it should be an interesting one. The hope is that the system I have made will spark discussion between the readers on what combinations will do what. I already have most of it, but it will be fun to read as the author. Side notes My general focus for this novel is to attempt to make the in-game systems make sense. To give a vague example I have read a lot of novels of this genre and some have the habit of just creating such powerful items that it just breaks the system, and somehow the MC keeps finding challenging situations even with those items. What tends to happen when I read a novel like this I just ignore the stats of the items he is getting because the numbers don't even matter anymore. Release schedule: The chapter release schedule due to real-life complications is to release as I write them. Patreon setup: 1 chapter early release/discord access. Free content up to the current chapter includes an excel sheet that contains Locke's current stats at the end of the chapter. This is extra information for those that are interested.

Impossible Devices
Twenty years after the start of the new millenium, the world was largely at peace. Crime was at an all-time low in most nations. No large scale conflicts between countries currently existed, and the people of Earth had even begun to see hope for the future. In the year 2020, all of that changed. The first occurrences of the interdimensional reality altering zones occurred. Named 'Dungeons' these supernatural and alien existences unleashed monsters and mayhem upon the world. Only after considerable loss of life and adaptation to the new world order did people begin to rally back. The discovery of a strange artificact item in one of the dungeons allowed humanity to develop powers far beyond their wildest imagination. This device worked on principles considered to be impossible. It was not the only one.
