||I just want to help my brother||
You woke up a bit hot from the dream you just had. Shaking it off you hopped out and saw you still had an hour before 5. Knowing you wouldn't be able to go back to sleep, you just got ready. Going to the kitchen and prepared food for Frosty and then going to the front door, grabbing your bow and arrow. Heading to the back to practice. You got your bow ready and looked at the target. Arrow in hand you closed your eyes, taking a deep breath in. Opening your eyes, only focusing on the target. You kept your breathing to a steady but slow pace. Getting the arrow in place and ready to fire. Looking at the target one last time before letting go of the arrow. You watched as it flew at the target, landing right on the bullseye. You were out their for 30 minutes before going back inside. You placed your bow down, leaving the arrows out on the targets for now, you grabbed your keys and walked out the door, locking it behind you. You went out for a walk, trying to past the remaining time when you got a text from April.
"Hey sorry if I woke you up, but I can wait till you want to go." You pit your phone way and walked to the farmhouse. Not even knocking on the door you walked right in, seeing the purple and orange turtle on the couch with Casey.
"How come your here again and didn't even bother to knock.?" The purple mask asked. You were going to reply when April replied instead.
"Donnie don't. This is like her second house, I'm guessing the main reason why it looked so nice when we got here. She kept the place a bit cleaned. Plus I'm going at to get groceries with her, so I'll be back." April walked out with you.

"Want to take the van.?" She asked. I just shook my head.
"I prefer to walk. It's better anyways and good way to check the sight out."
"Good point. Let's go." You both walked making small talk and reaching the store. Walking in you saw the man behind the counter.
"Heya Errian. Nice to see you again. How long as it been.?"
"Nice to see you to Robby. I guess I have been busy, plus I had some food still left over so I finished that off."
"Ah I see, and is that April O'Neil. Would you look at that."
"Hello sir. Sorry I don't really remember you."
"It's alright darling. I haven't seen you since a kid so figure you wouldn't recognize me. By the way. What makes you come all the way back down here.?" April didn't know what to say so you jumped in.
"Came to back for some good old times. Haven't seen her since she left." Robby nodded, leaving you two alone. April walked over to you and sighed.
"Thank you. Didn't really know what to say."
"Ya and you can't lie for shit so." She smacked you a little, but you just rubbed the pain away. Picking out some food you'll need for the week at least while april did the same. You both walked up to the counter and placed your stuff down. He scanned all it up and paid for it all. April smiled at you and thanked you. You both walked back to the farmhouse. You placed your stuff by the front door for now and helped help pit the stuff away, also going to check on the turtle. You saw the red masked turtle sitting by himself. You walked other and looked at the turtle for a bit. You saw you had to change his bandages but didn't have any of your stuff with you. You let out a irritated sigh making him look at you.

"What are you looking at dude.?" He looked away.
"Raphael's or Raph. You can call me that." You just nodded.
"What's wrong.? You seem irritated."
"Nothing. I just need to fix his things but I don't have anything with me. Meaning I have to go back home with my groceries, pit them somewhere were they won't get destroyed then get my stuff ready, then walk all the way back over. Which will take some time, and I'm a busy women so, it's not working out for me." You rubbed the back of your head trying to think. Raph was quiet till he got up.

A King in the Clouds
Tanlar. A cruel, repulsive, and foul word. It meant untitled, officially, but it also meant ungifted, unable, unworthy, unnecessary, unhuman. It was more a curse than a term, a badge only the damned and condemned wore. To be a tanlar was to know your life, your entire being, was insignificant. Once Kaizer had resigned himself to such a fate, but those times had passed. He may have been untitled, but he was anything but untalented. He refused to scrape by at the bottom of society. Those who stood above him could sneer all they liked, but he wouldn’t suffer being stepped on for long. He’d be better, much better. But of course he would be. ‘Fate’ demanded it so. [Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] What To Expect: The story of a boy becoming a man becoming a king + everything that entails. Largely gamelit, but later arcs could be called litrpg. Also schemes. A lot of schemes. I do love some good ol' fantasy politics and intrigue. Minimum Word Count a Week: TBA after Writathon Release Time(s): Daily for as long as I can/until the end of the Writathon. I also write The Deathseeker [Returning Dec 5th]

8 102Path of the Ancients
When humans with the ability to control the fundamental particles of the universe with their minds were first discovered, the age of space travel began in earnest. Relativistic travel faster than the speed of light became possible and humanity moved out into the stars. When it was discovered that these Mages could be turned into effective weapons, humanity turned back to its oldest pastime of war. Hundreds of years later as humanity was on the brink of self-destruction, with its taste for war finally beginning to wane, a new organization was created. The Conclave was formed to regulate all Mage’s within the human colonies. While the colonies maintained their independence, the Conclave’s control over access to interstellar travel made them the de facto power amongst humanity. As the old saying goes, ‘Power Corrupts’, and many people were unhappy with the way the Conclave had been leveraging its authority, not the least of which were the Mages they controlled. One unregistered illegal Mage by the name of Tyrial had made it his life's mission to dismantle the Conclave at any cost. After spending decades working towards his goals alone, he realized he would need the aid of willing allies in his crusade. Tyrial would need all the help he could get learning to work with others, dealing with his own dark past, and handling unfamiliar feelings of romantic interest. Content Warning Note: They are there to cover my behind. I honestly hesitated to put them there at all but I figured better safe than sorry. Gore in particular barely applies and the sexual content amounts to light Cinemax style at best. But, at least now you can’t say I didn’t warn you. POSTED: Currently, this story is being posted to RoyalRoad and ScribbleHub. If you see this story posted anywhere else, please report it to the user "Tyrial" on either of the aforementioned sites. Thanks!
8 116Luminether Online: A LitRPG Fantasy Adventure
A year after the tragic death of his best friend, Carey Walsh copes with feelings of guilt and loneliness by trolling strangers online. His secret little addiction becomes a nightmarish odyssey when he trolls a billionaire inventor of a futuristic VR simulation housed on a faraway tropical island. The game, known as “Luminether Online,” is actually an experiment meant to rewire the brain’s empathy centers - an experiment that kills the bullies it attempts to fix. Suddenly trapped inside, Carey encounters an epic fantasy world full of vibrant magic spells, terrifying monsters, and ancient gods who left behind superpowered races of humans – one of which Carey must choose as his avatar. Armed with the most basic armor and sword, he must level up, stop a guild of necromancers hellbent on world domination, and do it all while playing as an orange-eyed "Feral" rogue with a furry tail and amazing stealth, agility and parkour skills. But there are other, more toxic, players who will do anything to win, even if it means committing real-life murder against their competitors. In order to win the game, Carey must recruit allies, explore the mythical world of Astros, and unlock the secrets of this baffling new reality - because the truth is not what it seems. Luminether Online is a standalone LitRPG novel, though it is set in the same world as a different series known as The Luminether Series, a non-LitRPG epic fantasy.

8 135Cinder Roots (Undergoing a Rewrite)
This novel is currently undergoing a major rewrite, as I noticed several plot points that needed to be revamped. I'll leave the chapters I've posted here to anyone curious to see how everything started, but I'll be posting the rewritten story as a new novel in the future. The characters will be the same, but the journey will be more understandable and hopefully, a lot more fun to read. -------- First, everything was fire, it killed, it consumed, and it gave him life. He was just a tree, born in the biggest forest that remained in the world, full of dryads, naiads, elves and treants, but he was alone. He couldn’t see. He couldn’t talk. Curiosity plagued him. He dreamed of wandering the land, but could only wonder what stood outside the reach of his roots. The tree was tired of waiting. He decided to not just dream, but to act. How could he survive against a invading empire, a grand conspiracy that threatened to shake the foundations of the world, and the raw danger that lies within these woods? With pure determination. Warning - There are quite a few POV changes in the first chapters, but that'll change after the introduction is done, as I'll be focusing on the MC perspective only.
