《Dependence - Book Two (Wattys 2013 Finalist)》Capitol Update: Special Attraction

Piper Papillon’s POV:
‘’ Hello everyone! I’m back and boy, do I have news!’’ I scream as I skip back onto the stage and the crowd roars with excitement.
I try to smile and laugh as much as possible, despite how uncomfortable and scared I feel. Was the President serious? He has to have been. I can’t do that! Not with him!
‘’ I am here with a special announcement before the next half of the interviews begin! Like every other Quarter Quell year, there will be plenty of special attractions added to the arena to make it more fun! As you all know, this year’s Games will be held on a island, that has been artificially built especially for this so we want to try have our attractions to this theme.
Here’s where you come in, we need you to send us as many ideas for special attractions as possible! Remember, the more exciting special attractions we have, the more exciting the Games will be for you!
When you are all trying to think of ideas, try remembering previous special attractions such a mutts, natural disasters, toxic plants, zombie tributes, a volcano, dinosaurs, tribute revival, please give us as many ideas as possible!’’
As I say this, the crowd begins to take out their phones and send in their suggestions.
‘’ And that’s not all! This year, you will be able to make bets on various things in the arena! But I will tell you more about that after the interviews have concluded. Thank you! I will be back in about fifteen minutes for the second half of the interviews!

Immortality.Upload (LitRPG: Athanasia - Book 1)
When humanity goes digital, can we escape our violent heritage?Cassidy lost her parents when she was eight years old, but soon after her eighteenth birthday she discovers her parents might still be alive. Sort of. The digital world of Athanasia is the most advanced fantasy game ever created. A step beyond virtual reality, Athanasia is a new reality where players create Eternals, immortal digital clones that spend their entire lives within the game world. When Cassidy learns her parents might have created their own Eternals before they died, she sets out to join the game to find them. As a new Eternal spellcaster named Seajee, she must learn to navigate this new reality full of magic and danger in order to track them down. Unfortunately for Cassidy, someone is now trying to kill her in the real world to prevent her from finding her parents in Athanasia. While Cassidy fights for her life, her alter ego Seajee uncovers a nefarious plot to destroy the one protection the Eternals have. Their immortality. (Soon to be published with LevelUp! Until then, I'm allowed to post the first of three books as this one goes through the last round of editing. The amazing cover art was created by the extremely talented Wesley Souza.) EDIT 2: Much discussion has taken place and it's been decided that 90% of the book will come down from Royal Road for publication on April 4th, 2022. That means that as of April 3rd you won't be able to read the full book here anymore, instead I will start to publish chapters for Immortality.Download (Book 2) here very soon!
8 171We Never Use Our Powers for Anything Important
The world was once in peril. Wars were fought endlessly, creatures from beyond the Veil invaded the world, and greedy men almost tore the world apart. In the midst of all this madness, the world created Overseers— gifted people granted with unique powers. But that was a hundred years ago. Autumn Mountain Academy is the premier Overseer School in Japan. Here, thousands of the world's most powerful Overseers gather to learn how to harness their powers. But with the world already safe and peaceful, these gifted individuals can only use their incredible powers on the most mundane of things. Cheating in exams, playing pranks on one another, stealing some unlucky freshman's deliciously made bento— no rebellious deed is safe. Only one person is willing to fight against this juvenile idiocy— her name is Ayane Tsukino, a rare S Rank Overseer and president of the student council. Conditions in the school have improved because of her reign, because few people could challenge her overwhelming might. Enter is Hideaki Kimura, a boy interested in nothing but living a stereotypical high school life, maybe have it culminate with a cheesy romance if things go well for him. But his humble dream is shattered when he finds himself clashing with the most powerful Overseer in the school.
8 71The Flesh and Blood Dungeon
This is not the usual dungeon core story. I did not originally plan to make it humorous, but, well, you'll see. This fiction will not turn into a story about a bunch of adventurers who enter a giant boars anus looking for treasure. No promises tho.
