Izzy's PoV:
Squid carried me into his house and put me down on what I was pretty sure was the sofa, although it was hard to tell as I was so dizzy. I could vaguely make out that Squid was talking to some people. I slowly turned my head in the direction of the other people to see if I could see who they were and immediately wished I hadn't. Pain shot through my body and my head felt like it exploded. I shut my eyes, I was in so much pain. I don't really know what happened next as it was all just a blur but I remember pain, pain worse than I had ever felt before, then a lot of movement, then I was in someone's arms. I opened my eyes to see the floor about an inch from my face. I must have rolled off the sofa and, I assumed it was Squid, caught me. Squid lifted me up and I heard him say something. I felt someone else walk past me then Squid put me on the floor. There where pillows on the floor and then someone stepped over me, I opened my eyes to see who they were. I recognised them immediately even through the blur. It was Tomohawk, he was lighting the fire. I felt the warmth hit me and the dizziness got slightly more bearable. "Thanks Tom." I said weakly. He smiled at me and then turned to Squid who was behind me. "I'm gonna go to bed. What are you going to do?" He said. "I will stay down here with Izzy. Can you tell Nicole to set up the spare bed for Flo." Squid replied. Tom nodded then walked out of the room. "Are you feeling any better?" He asked me. I nodded, "slightly." Squid put his hand on my forehead, "What were you and Flo doing out there?" He asked me. I thought about what to say. Should I lie and say we were going for a walk or should I tell the truth. But then all those thoughts left my head as I felt pain in my ankle. I remembered twisting it, my foot must have gone numb with cold but now it's warmed up I can feel the pain again. I groaned and tried to sit up to pull my shoe off, but I sat up way to quickly and the dizziness overwhelmed me again causing me to fall back to the ground. Squid tried to catch me but, as he did so, he lent over and his arm touched the wood burner that was boiling hot. He yelled in pain and dropped me, I hit my head on the ground and I nearly passed out. I could hear an alarm and there was a burning smell. I felt extreme heat near my back and I tried to roll away. I saw a figure rush past me and try to grab Squid. I heard Squid say something that I couldn't make out, whatever it was the other person wasn't happy about it but they grabbed me and lifted me up over their shoulders. I knew who it was now, it was Tom. He had come in to get Squid but Squid had told him to get me. Tom rushed out of the room and handed me to someone who rushed outside. I could hear sirens, I tried to look around me, I could see lots of smoke, two fire engines and and ambulance. Nicole was carrying me and she rushed towards the ambulance where someone else tried to take me. Although I hadn't known Nicole very long, I felt safe around her, Squid and Tom, it was the safest I had felt in a long time. So with the last ounces of strength I had I clung on to Nicole, not letting go. They managed to prise me off her though and I was carried into the ambulance. Squid and Tom soon joined me. A breathing tube was put over my mouth and I could see that Squid had the same. There was a horrible burn up the side of his arm and onto his back. Suddenly all the pain that had happened to me in the past few days exploded inside me, my ankle felt like it was disintegrating, the side of my leg felt like it was on fire and my head was hurting like crazy. I was in so much pain the world started to fade. The last thing I remember before I blacked out was movement, sirens, people crowding around me, then black.

The 8th Day
One day life is good. The next day it isn't! The boundaries between... well, whatever they're between.. have shattered! Monsters burst out from cracks in the universe, and reality suddenly begins to function similar to a game -- but not a game that anyone knows all the rules about! Magic is suddenly real, but so are monsters and death! Lots of death!And the worst part of it all? I think we did it to ourselves! We invented video games, and personally I think that great Finger-in-the-Sky picked up a console somewhere and started playing them. Since He liked what he saw, he must've declared, """"On the 8th Day, let there be Game!"But what do I know about it all, really. After all, I'm just """"The Witness"""" forced to observe it all.__________________________________________________________________________Author's Note: There's a lot of tales where characters get stuck in a Virtual Reality. """"Sword Art Online"""", """"Log Horizon"""", """"The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor"""". This is a story told with the premise inverted -- instead of a person from reality going into a virtual world, what would happen if the virtual world instead came to reality?I want this tale to speak about the aspects of the game, as it has affected the current reality, but the focus of the story should never be on the """"reality-turned-game"""" itself, but on the characters and their oh-so-human struggles, personalities, and attempt to adjust and live within the bounds of their new existence. Hopefully this won't just be a story of """"reality turned into a game"""", but instead will be something more meaningful such as a story of the strengths, perseverance, and humanity of man-kind as they try to adapt and face the unknown.*** And, most importantly, I hope everyone enjoys reading it as much as I've enjoyed writing it. ***WARNING: RATED MATURE M[18+] FOR GORE, SEX, VIOLENCE. The apocalypse isn't a pretty place to try to survive in, and neither is every scene in a story trying to describe it.

Magician's Pact
A young boy with a special key finds himself caught up with an old wizard, an ancient prohpecy, and a possibly conspercy. This sounds like the sort of thing most childern would love to be a part of, but there are just three small problems. The first is that he is not the hero. Someone already got that role. The second is that he isn't a wizard. He is a Magician which complicates things. The third is that there might be a chance that the whole 'problem' might be comming from his end. Personally he never understood (or interacted with) the 'secret' magical world, but that becomes a problem when the magical world apparently has what his role is supposed to be according to their ancient book... and they are not to happy about him not matching their book. Still it shouldn't be to hard right? All he has to do is go to a school, learn some wizard magic, make sure nobody takes his key... also avoid dying. Thankfully he has had a lot of expereince with that last part and a bunch of Twig Twirling childern can't be too dangerious? Right?

Colossus of Catastrophe
A world where he's stuck in a game like setting. Sign him up! Except that Lazarus found himself stuck in a cave with nothing but glowing crystals and the skittering of rats. And according to the glowing blue box he'd been affected by unforeseen circumstances and transported to the world of Zara. What the hell was that?! He didn't like caves at all! He didn't get any powers! Only this blue box fixed in front of him... Hello this book will be a lit-rpg in a fantasy world. It will be primarily action and adventure. I dislike characters who get tied down and suckered, so if your looking for kingdom building or large interpersonal relations this isn't it. There will be some but it won't be the focus. He will be somewhat of an antihero but more in the sense that Lazarus will be free. I'm not the most experienced writer, but I would love feedback to improve. Thank you for reading!

Teaching Heroes of Might and Magic
Xianxia, the dream of many. To be reborn in such a world so that you may make yourself a god amongst gods, so that you may rule your own fate and destiny.Well, welcome to reality, because even if you end up in such a realm, who says you get power? Who says you are the one who gets to rule as a god amongst gods? Those stories you read at home on your phone or laptop? Sadly, it just isn't so. Just like Zev, the protagonist of this novel discovered when he was dropped into a world full of Immortals, Monsters, Gods and other monstrous beings. No other worldly power, no other worldly magic, no treasure trove of knowledge or skills was given to him. He was dropped as a mere human, a slightly stronger than average human, into a world where his goal was to simply teach others upon pain of death.-----Full Name of Story [Teaching Heroes of Might and Magic: Mentor of Main Characters]And for the synopsis, I'll first of all state that I am not good at writing them, and this may not have explained the story very well. So I'll just state what the story includes, and what it doesn't. It includes Immortals, demons, gods, etc, you get the idea. What it doesn't include is an actually powerful main character. The main character has a set of unique skills, which include lying, cheating, faking, and all around poker face to get him in and out of situations.Again, the Synopsis needs to be worked on, but for now, that is what it is.
