Oh goodness!
He finally got a brain and asked you to marry him!
Now you have to go tell your mom and dad that they are about to gain a brand-new son-in-law.
Here's how it goes.
-"We're too young for this scenario, ya filthy animals"
-"See you in the next one!"
-(Gon, in a whisper to Killua) "Dude, I think we could actually even LEGALLY get them arrested for this! Hee hee!"
-"Mom, Dad...guess what? I'm getting married!"
-"To who? That Pooka guy?"
-"Yes Dad, and you better learn how to say his name right before the wedding"
-Your dad grumbles. "He's kind of a stiff. But at least I suppose you'll have all your insurance policies and finances and wills and stuff in order your whole life with him"
-Your mom gives you a hug. "I'm going to have such beautiful grandchildren! I do hope they take your eyes, though, honey...he's got something weird about his"
-Your dad breaks out the cigars. "Aha, my little girl landed herself a doctor, this calls for a celebration"
-Your mom is disapproving. "Jim. Don't be so gauche. It doesn't matter what the boy does for a living, as long as they are in love"
-Your dad lights a stogie. "Okay then. Let's celebrate the fact that she's not marrying Mr. La-Dee-Da-Dee, the one who paints hearts and shit on his face..."
-"...You cannot be serious"
-"Yes Dad, we are in love, and we are getting married"
-"You better be prepared for a little...what's the technical term for it these days? Polyamory"
-"No, Dad. We've discussed this at length and he says he's ready to settle down"
-Your dad snorts. "I give it a month. And that's if you play your cards right."
-Your mom claps her hands in glee. "A nice Jewish boy! This is exactly what I always wanted for my baby!"

-"And isn't he all set up in the family business, too?" your dad adds. "Perfect. Can't ask for better. Remind me again what they do?"
-"Um..."
-"Sweetie, now I know you hate when I say this, but I'm going to insist you make him cut that hair before the wedding. Think of the pictures. He simply can't have all that hanging in his face"
-"Dear, Dad and I are thrilled you're marrying your young man, but I have to ask a favor of you"
-"Okay, Mom, what is it?"
-"Can you keep your last name? I really don't know how I'm going to explain it to my women's Bible study group if you change it to his"
-"Great, all my grandkids are going to be midgets"
-"Dad! I asked you before to please not make fun of his height!"
-"Is he going to wear that damn mask up there in front of the priest while he's saying 'I do?'"
-"Shal? My parents are batshit crazy"
-"Let's elope. Pack a bag, quick, we'll just go do it in Vegas"

Throughout the Ages
A new virtual reality game has just been released, different to any that have come before it. Throughout the Ages sees the players guiding a small community from the the stone age onwards, acting as benevolent gods that inspire and bless their charges. The peoples of Lorinas are not mere abstractions, though, but complex AI with their own thoughts and motives, living in a rich and dangerous fantasy world! Follow the tale of John, the uninteresting author self-insert character, and his sexy AI handmaiden Jade, as they pursue success in a game where their decisions can mean life or death! This story is supposed to be a dungeon lord like story in a VR multiplayer setting, I hope people who read it enjoy it. Partially ghostwritten by the incredibly handsome and clever Sniggyfigbat, and edited by the occasionally competent Dosahder.(Warning: this synopsis might not be entirely objective) (Upload schedule is highly irregular due to having to match three different plannings) more tags might be added in the future.Also it is my first story so please point out spelling and grammar mistakes.
8 109The 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.
8 155I'm A Professional Gamer, So How Did I Become King?
Watch as an Immortal, near All-Powerful being recounts the tales of his and his wives rise in power. I don't want to make the MC OP, but he will be incredibly strong and fight really strong beings. I make no promises when it comes to release dates, just so you know, however I don't plan on dropping this, as it contains ideas from multiple fictions I've written but never posted. I don't own the cover picture.
