《We see eye to eye》One magical day
Advertisement
It's the 3rd of July 2014. Today is a very important day. Katy is coming to Miami, the city I live in. And I'm gonna risk my life and go see her, without my parents knowing. By the way... my name is Lisa, I'm ten years old. I know, way too young to attend a concert. But I'm a KatyCat. I love Katy, soooo much and I'm gonna do everything to see her today.
Suddenly the door of my room opens and my dad comes in and yells at me, as always: "LISA! IT'S 7 AM GET UP! YOU HAVE TO MAKE BREAKFAST AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR BROTHER, WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?" "I'm sorry dad, I'm getting up immediately." I reply. Usually I would feel angry, very angry and hurt when he talks to me like that. But today, I don't care. Today, I'm seeing Katy Perry. The woman who has helped me through so much and who I feel like is the only person on this planet who likes me, although she doesn't know me.
I shower and get dressed quickly, then I go to my baby brother Sam's crib, take him out slowly, put him into his baby chair and give him food. Then I prepare breakfast.
An hour later, my parents come in to have breakfast since they have to leave for work. My mom is reading the news on her iPhone. In her ugly bitchy voice she says: "oh look! Katy Perry is in town!" my dad gives her a very dark look, as if he told her to shut up. "why would you care about Katy and her childish, dumb songs..." he replies. But why? What is wrong with Katy?
My parents get ready to leave. "so we'll be back tomorrow since we're going to Orlando. You stay here, don't go out, and take care of Sam. And if anything goes wrong, that means I take your phone away for the next two month." my mom warns me.

I'm used to this. It's been like this, always. I don't get it... are all children treated like this? What about Katy. She would never treat anyone that way.
My parents left. My brother is asleep. That means, I can leave too. To go see Katy.
I put on my prettiest dress, a little sunflower dress, and cheap cat ears I once found at school and took with me.
I grab my bagpack, put in a water bottle, some energy bars, a blanket and my phone and then exit the house and head to the concert venue.
I arrived. It's 9.30 am, only 10 people are queing so far, great. I sit behind them, on my blanket. Now I have to wait 8 hours until we get inside.
[8 hours later]
IT'S HAPPENING! IT'S HAPPENING! WE'RE GETTING INSIDE! I'm about to get in, but a security guard stops me and asks me "where is your ticket?"
Then, I realise.. I don't have a ticket... How am I going to get in!?
I back up, then I see that the security guard is looking into the opposite direction so I run inside as fast as I can. I run and run and run, then stop because I've arrived... inside the reflection section of the gigantic stage! I start squealing out of excitement and happiness. Is this really happening? I have really made it! I am going to see my favorite person for the first time! Tears start streaming down my face, I am so incredibly happy. I slide onto the floor. Someone taps me on the shoulder. "Um.. hi, are you okay?" a soft voice asks me. I turn around.
It's a young, about 14 year old girl with brown hair and blue eyes and a shirt saying "Katy is my mom!"

"yeah... I'm great thanks! It's just I can't believe I am here!! It's incredible!"
"aw I understand you sweetie, it's the fifth show I attend, and I still don't think it's real haha."
"what!?? fifth show?? Are you a KatyCat?"
"yeah! and you? By the way, my name is Jessica."
"me too!! nice to meet you, I'm Lisa! and um.. is Katy really your mom?" I ask, confused, pointing at Jessica's shirt.
"hahahha no she's not, I wish though! But all KatyCats call Katy their mom, it's a thing we made and she knows about it."
"oh okay! I wish Katy was my mom too! Because my real mom is so rude and I can't stand her anymore..."
[Jessica's POV]
"aww... but..." I say
"but what?"
"nothing" I answer, giving Lisa a smile. She shucks and turns around, facing the stage.
Lisa looks so tiny and fragile... as if she was really treated in a wrong way. But she seems so happy right now. I want to help her, but I don't know how... maybe - oh wait...
the lights have turned off. The show is starting.

Soul Forging
“At this point, humanity has already lost control over its own destiny.” If even a normal college student like Jayce could say such a thing, then things were obviously pretty bad. In Jayce’s case, by the time he understood this truth, he had already been enslaved by another race and put to work as the subordinate of a noble’s daughter. There, he was given a chance to reflect on a conundrum. Which felt worse? Being summoned to another world as someone else’s gacha prize, or learning that in this world, humans were nothing more than C-Rank trash. Follow one young man’s journey as he struggles from pitiful slavery to reach heights he never could have imagined. Chapters every Wednesday & Saturday.
8 204Summoner's Journey
[Before you read - the story is officially dead. The reasons behind it are posted in the last chapter.] In a magic world on the verge of an industrial revolution, Ari Ragnarsson must uncover the truth behind his parents' disappearance. They were part of an organization known as the Order, which protects mankind from various threats - both human and supernatural. Now, after Ari's brands finally manifest, he leaves the safety of his village and travels to the continent. Strength is all that matters in this world and he must learn how to control his powers. There, he meets a man from another world, who's being hunted for merely existing. Their fates become intertwined, but not in a way either of them would appreciate. Author's note (contains minor non-story related spoilers about the MC and setting) This is a progression fantasy with LITRPG elements sprinkled on top. The main character is not a spellsword, but a summoner/support mage hybrid. Since he wasn't ambushed by a random god, there's no cheat item/spell and he has to rely on his skills and wits to survive in a world full of monsters. The story tries to show the moment when the old starts to be replaced by the new, with a healthy dose of magic and a little steampunk in the background. Also, it revolves around a party dynamic akin to RPG sessions. No health/mana bars. Numbers are secondary and the LITRPG elements focus more on classes/spells/runes and their evolutions. Tables are sparse at the beginning, but from chapter 7 onwards they appear more often. Still, I won't be copy-pasting the whole character sheet dozens of times per chapter.
8 152Honey, I'm home! [HIATUS]
An unusual reincarnation story. Brian finds himself alive again, but his new life is really weird. He just wants to live, though, so despite all shortcomings he'll just keep trucking along. Heavy gore warning. Also bad puns occasionally. Be warned. Releasing one chapter a week, but I can't specify the day. Busy work you know.
