Cassandra
I had just finished putting off some clothes when I heard Mom scream. I hurried down the stairs and immediately saw her at the door and seemed to be talking to someone. I approached her. "Mom." She immediately turned to me.
"There you are." I peeked in the door and I didn’t expect the person outside.
Flynn.
"What are you doing here?" I looked at Mom. She just smiled then left us. "Come in."
He came in and we went to the living room. Dad was also there staring intently at the newspaper he was reading. While Mom, I don't know where she went. He sat down in the chair and looked at Dad. Still doesn't take his eyes off what he reads.
"What are you doing here?" I ask.
"Ahh. I just want to apologize for what I did the other day. I didn't know that Nicolas was your fiancè. But I really want you to be my friend no wicked scheme. I also know that my father and Nicolas are enemies so I'm afraid of him. My intention of befriending you is pure. I hope you give me a chance. " My jaw were left open with what he said. I wasn’t expecting that and he actually even came here to say that thing. Well, he's a good man and I'm comfortable with him.
"If you're afraid of Nicolas, why are you still approaching my daughter? She is Nicolas' fianceè. Did you know that Nicolas doesn't want other people touching or approaching his belongings? If you're afraid of him why are you here in our house, in front of my daughter and asking her to be your friend? " I was shocked by what Dad said. Flynn was also surprised.
"Dad." I muttered.

Dad just looked at me for a moment before looking back at Flynn. "If I were you, get out of here before Nicolas catches up with you."
"Stop it, Dad!" My voice was too loud due to annoyance but I tried to lower it.
"Run as fast as you can, boy." Dad smirked.
"I'm leaving, Cassy." He even looked at Dad before standing up and hurriedly leaving our house. I followed him but when I came out of the door he's already in his car and quickly pulled away in front of our house. I just sighed and went back to the living room.
"Why did you do that?" I immediately asked Dad.
"Obviously that man likes you. He actually came here to my house just to be friends with you. After all, he can do that outside or at your University. I have to remind you, Cassy. Nicolas is your husband and you probably know what he doesn't like. "
"Dad. He's not yet my husband."
"What's the difference?"
I just sat there remembering Nicolas' threats and policies towards me.
"Where is our guest?" Dad and I turned to Mom who was now staring at us in amazement and carrying a drink. "I'm still preparing a drink, I thought he'd be here for a while." Mom placed the drink on the center table and sat down next to me.
"Nicolas called me and said he would pick you up. Where are you going? Date?" She teased. "That's good honey. After all, your wedding is coming up, you should always date."
"It's not a date, mom. Nicolas' mom just invited me to have dinner with them because the previous plan didn't work out."
"OH MY GOSH!" I was surprised when Mom suddenly grabbed my left arm and lifted it.

"It's beautiful." She said in amazement.
"Mom." She looked at me.
"What?"
"I'm scared of this whole thing. It doesn't seem right. I'm always scared when I step on the land of the De Lucas."
"Don't be, sweetheart. They're good people. They won't hurt you." Mom said while rubbing my back.
"Your mom is right. They won't hurt you." Dad even nodded after he spoke.
"Don't think about those things. All you should be thinking about is your impending marriage." I nodded at him then smiled hard. "I'm going to go upstairs. I need to get ready for Nicolas to come." Mom just nodded.
I went upstairs and headed for the room. When I closed the door I was still leaning there. I need to be strong. I don’t know what my life will be like once Nicolas and I get married. Now that we are not even married, I feel so much fear and anxiety, what if we get married and I live in their house? The vibes of their house are still horror. Except for those who live because the race is good.
I just shook my head and went straight to the bathroom. Later, I will enter the De Luca mansion again with a very cold and scary feeling.

Blood Quest - A LitRPG
Leon's family has been diagnosed with a new type of incurable blood disease. It's an absolute death sentence and when it turns aggressive, you only have a few more years of painful life left to live. His mother has just begun the last years of the disease when a person supposedly comes back from death with supernatural abilities. He talks about a choice you get after death--get an extra chance to come back to life, or die. Even with Leon's diminishing life span, he won't consider the option of going there, until he meets another survivor who had the same goal as him and succeeded. Leon has a choice to make—die now for a chance to save his mother, or die in a few years, where the disease rapidly melts his muscles from his own body. He enters a game-like world, a sort of limbo, where his ultimate goal is to climb the tower of Katastroph before his mother's time runs out. There are a few problems with this though. The tower is almost impossible to beat, if you die you won't revive, and only three people in over twenty years have actually made it back. Leon has two years to climb the tower, with the help of the few people willing to try, while Ai, the tutorial guide, makes things harder for them. ***** The story starts pretty dark but goes onto a lighter tone. Then (more) dark again. Disclaimer: This story is an experimental project and I hope to get any and all feedback you can give me. Warning: First draft. Chapters tend to be between 3400-4100 words long (about 8-11 A4-pages). Mentioning it since I've seen it in other fictions :P Sometimes they're shorter, sometimes they're longer. ******************************** CHAPTER RELEASES UPDATE: As the first "book" in the series is done, I'm going to release coming chapters somewhat sporadically, and when Writathon ends, I'll probably go back to publishing one chapter per weekend. We'll just have to wait and see! I hope you enjoy the story! I really appreciate all comments and feedback, so if you have anything to say, feel free to voice it :) ************ [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

A Mildly Odd Reality Breaker
Omar receives an unexpected visitor who comes baring a gift—a "registration ticket"—in the form of a small metal card. The ticket is itself an offer to participate in the game, "Reality Break." Accepting this offer means that Omar will be able to perceive the true nature of reality where there is not one, but two dimensions of time, and in this second dimension history changes (and somewhat "frequently"). Along with this, he will also gain access to the "chronopause"; another reality that is not so much parallel to our own as it is perpendicular, which acts as both a place and the natural boundary between non-sequential points on the timeline. Using the chronopause, Omar will become a chrononaut with the ability to travel through time, and as a player, he will be given a cybernetic interface and his own portable extradimensional storage space. It's a strange conversation, but due to Omar's dismally short attention span, he only consciously hears that last bit about the portable pocket space, and that's only after the physics-defying void is opened in his living room and literally waved in front of his face. Reality is certainly stranger than most people realize, but then again, so is Omar. Thankfully, he responds well to shiny things, and for better or for worse, his chronic inattentiveness is the least of his psychological issues. Omar also has a mild form of "Oppositional Defiant Disorder" which presents itself as an occasional, arbitrary need to disobey others (especially authority figures). However, his oddest psychological issue by far is his "abnormally hyperactive" subconscious mind. Outwardly and consciously, Omar is a lazy, apathetic man-child prone to mildly asinine behavior. Subconsciously, he's some sort of genius capable of extraordinary feats of cognition. Most of the time, Omar is a (technically) functioning adult, but in order to live as such, he must rely entirely upon unusual abilities he's completely unaware of, despite the fact that he uses them regularly. Up until now, his life had merely been ridiculous, but now it was also a game. Note: The narrative style is that of a reliable narrator with a "3rd-person sarcastic" POV. This story takes place in the Reality Breakers/Chronopause universe.

The FPD (Fart Police Department)
The FPD (Fart Police Department) The world’s norms and ethics have drastically shifted for the worse after an uncontrollable flatus outbreak absorbed the world’s inhabitant, causing major depopulation on a global scale. Conversely, to remedy the spread of this vulgar contagion, the Societal Gods who were partially indirectly responsible for causing the outbreak, implemented certain strict measures for the servile humans to follow. These strict policies were commonly known to the general public as Fart Commandments. Thou shall not relieve themselves in public without following the proper guided measures; thou shall not relieve themselves in private without adhering to the strict guidelines; each new-born and younglings should be taken to the nearest medical facility regularly for inoculation; loose bottoms shall not be tolerated at any governing venues and face-masks should always be worn appropriately. Failure to adhere to the above commandments would result in a mandatory life sentence without a court appeal or probation unless they are of influential births and have authoritative backers. In this twisted society which had been established today a model young female who adhered to the strict policies all of her life without questioning, accidentally broke one of the Fart Commandments and found herself entangled with a rebellious group of uncouth individuals who opposed the Societal Gods. To regain her innocence and social standing among the civil society, this young lady dared challenge the Societal God’s ruling by utilizing the absolute thing that they detested the most which were the destructive vapours of her flatus. Certainly, she will suffer the excruciating consequences of defying her lords’ commandments.
