《What I Didn't Say [Tae Kwang's Unsent Letters]》Bonus 3/3
Advertisement
The morning was full, and bright, unlike the confusion of my heart, as my feet shuffled against the hard texture of the bridge.
My gaze met Eun Bi's, reminding me of the text message she had sent. It's been so long, that this kind of thing wasn't normal anymore, and I didn't know what to expect.
"Tae Kwang. Turn around." She stated, and even though it didn't make sense, I listened to her orders, making my back face her.
"I wasn't expecting myself to tell anyone about this, and I'm not ready to see your reaction, so just stay put."
I nodded, eager to know what she had to say, that she was so shy about.
"So remember that day, when I said I didn't belong to anyone? Well... I was serious." She sorta mumbles.
What? I had nothing to say. I didn't even know what to think. Silence stuck between the two of us, as the blur of life went on.
Her words echoed throughout my mind, slowly realizing what she was saying.
"Did he break your heart?" I hesitated to say the words.
"No... I don't think so." She speaks slowly and uncertainly, thinking if she should change her mind. "He hurt me, there's no use denying that."
"Was it bad?" I felt nosy, it didn't feel right, and I hoped she wouldn't storm off. I needed her here, even if I couldn't see her.
"Enough to make me cry. Just... enough. He hurt me enough." She stammered, and I wondered if she was crying just thinking about it.
I didn't want to hear her cry, and I feel bad for ignoring it, but I tried keeping up the conversation.
"Did you love him?" It's something I wanted to know, even though it wasn't good to ask.

"No... not even close. The truth is I fell for him first, and then you, but for some reason I thought it was better to go for your first choice. It's now that I realize that if I truly loved him, I wouldn't have fell for the second."
She was slowly reviving all the butterflies that had died so long ago, they were all sparking again.
"I could have fell for him though." She continues. "If he would have given me that chance."
I nodded. I had nothing to say, and I was slowly taking it all in.
"So about prom, that you mentioned in your last letter.... I want to go with you. So don't plan on letting me go. Because I'm staying."
No matter what she said about not facing her, I had to break that rule.
I turned around, and hugged her, memories overflowing as I inhaled her scent.

Leftover Apocalypse
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This is a story about the newly-adult Calliope Smith having a terrible day that ends in her getting mysteriously teleported from Phoenix, Arizona to a fantasy world where her life is in constant danger. She considers this an upgrade. Someone evil is looking for her, and she doesn't know why. Someone who seems to know a lot about her has promised they'll help her, but she doesn't know who they are. All that matters to Callie is that magic is real and one way or another she's going to learn it. The end of the world is coming up, sure, but Callie won't need to worry about that. In fact, by the time she even finds out about it one of the doomsday devices will already be destroyed, and the authorities will be well on the way to dealing with the other one. It's fine. Everything will be smooth sailing. Almost certainly. Probably. Chapters are usually about 2500-3500 words, and the goal is to post 2-3 per week but I sometimes get busy or have some writers block. It's your standard portal fantasy / Isekai premise, but unlike some the main character's time on Earth and how she got pulled into another world will (eventually) be explored. Some slight GameLit-feeling stuff later, no menus or level-ups but there's something suspiciously like a skill tree when the magic system gets going. No number crunching, and while the main character will get to do some silly stuff she won't be a god like in some fics (and will in fact spend a lot of time being badly outclassed by her enemies). Some reader interaction, ranging from adding to the worldbuilding to occasionally making big important decisions about skill progression. Please note that the main character is flawed and impulsive, and will make some stupid decisions. That's part of the story, but I get that it's not for everyone. Trigger Warnings: Foster care system references, crappy parenting. Some mental health adjacent stuff, specifically the main character has some issues where she experiences varying levels of empathy and emotional vulnerability depending on the day (it's complicated and not meant to portray any real-world conditions). Occasional violence including mention of death and grievous bodily harm, but no detailed descriptions of gore.

Helena's Plane
Paul, a bored young man, wakes up in a white room. A young woman tells him he has died, that she is some kind of god who likes videogames and he will be reborn in an RPG-esque world so she and her fellow god-friends can watch him for entertainment.Unfortunately, the goddess forgot to give Paul most of the obligatory, obvious cheat-abilities to make him rush to power in easy mode. Paul embraces his new life full of clichés, perverts, magic, loot and action. And animal girls.18+ !CONTAINS GRAPHIC VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL CONTENT! (Actual sex is still hard to find, but you will get it. Eventually. Sporadically.) =================Author's note:So, this is my very first novel. It will be poorly written, has a huge info-dump disguised as a first chapter (to be rewritten. At some point in the future. I guess.), and may or may not offend everyone for different reasons. Perhaps you will just find it boring, which would be even worse. The description turned out a bit comedic, but the story isn't overly so.I have a rough idea of where this will be going, but expect some bumps on the road, as well as logic holes, flat characters and a lot of borderline copyright infringements from all the ideas I got reading other works. And did I mention I'm not a native speaker? No? Well, expect some embarrassing grammar and wording choices.The main character is a more or less normal guy, without high morals, martial arts skills or even a desirable goal in life. There is mature content, in terms of violence and sexual content. It won't become a full-blown erotic novel, and it may or may not be your cup of tea when it comes to the type of content.Critics welcome.
