《Threads》a touch of madness
Advertisement
If people were mistakes, then you’d be my favourite. Because, darling, you’re shining so bright, and they like to shoot the things that shine. I’ve got a bit of that stardust, and I’m the luckiest one in the world.
So I’m sorry for being shot down too.

“I’d very much like to curl in a ball and die.”
I stared at him. I could always tell when he was upset; his voice would get all British-like, and his speech would turn old. His hair was ruffling slightly in the breeze, but not by much; no, it had a touch too much product in it to do that. Also, the dab of glue his younger sister had placed in his shampoo was assisting in that.
“I mean. Just look. There’s too many people here for one to breath. There’s about one hundred below us, and, in another second, there’ll have been another two hundred that passed. Busy streets, small people. So one life shouldn’t matter that horridly, right?”
His eyes are silver. Not blue, not grey. Actually, scratch that. Right now they’re grey because he’s wearing that grey shirt of his that perfectly matches his eyes.
“Forgive me for rambling, but also take a moment to consider my theory. If there are this many people, billions of them, then how is one life supposed to affect them all? Or is it eee-ffect? I can never remember that one.”
The wind picked up a bit, and the bagginess of his shirt fluttered about, showing off his ribs. The cage that held his heart. Protected it, more like. Because if it got free, it would either freeze the world, or try and save it. Neither would be good for him. Polar opposites, nonetheless, but still equally as damaging.
“Hm. Maybe we don’t need to reflect on that aspect of this dull metropolis!”
He shouted the last bit, standing up, and spreading his arms out like a bird. His eyes were angry, but calm, at the same time. I honestly couldn’t fathom how that was working.
“Maybe, we should just test the theory!”

Of Dragons and Gods: A DnD Inspired Reincarnation Isekai LitRPG
A student named Jaxon Lee passes away after saving a little girl from a burning building. The last thing he remembers is the word, “Aries”. Upon awakening, he finds himself reincarnated in a fantasy world, as a ten-year-old boy, surrounded by monsters and magic. Hostile monsters are not his only concern, however, for his sudden arrival will usher the world towards chaos, reigniting a conflict dating back to the planet’s very inception, awakening the ancient dragons and the very gods themselves. Isekai with D&D elements. Sometimes lighthearted, sometimes dramatic. Hopefully a fun read. This is a work in progress, subject to edits, possibly major, though hopefully not. Any feedback regarding plot, characterization and continuity is greatly appreciated! Will include an OP MC, power levels, spell casting, magic academy, adventuring, dungeons, fighting monsters, romance, comedy. Suggestions welcome. Tagged with sexual content for the sporadic sexual scenes. Will be vanilla but graphic. Not the focus of story.

Two And A Half Deadmen
Silver-Spruce is a very strange and very haunted town. Ghosts inhabit its buildings and walk its streets. Some of them friendly and sane. Some of them not so much. Alder helps ghosts. Helps them fulfill their last requests so they can move on to whatever comes next. Sometimes the ghosts aren't so friendly and have to be moved on by force. Alder does that as well. And he's gotten rather good at it too. After a particularly rough exorcism, he finds himself following a strange ghost to a local tourist attraction. And while Alder never means to find himself caught up in chaos, monsters, magic, and mayhem always seem to have a way of finding him. You want more specifics for what you're reading? Here you go: This is Urban-fantasy but a little bit of a different spin. Often the protagonists in such stories tend to be the bigger fish in their world, or at least far from small fry. Be they legendary boogie men or badass wizards (which is in no way a bad thing, I love a lot of those stories.) But I thought it would be fun to have a protagonist who's far closer to the bottom end of the scale. He has some magic, and it's potent in its own way. But he isn't the big dog or a fighting machine. Outside of his bubble of influence, our protagonist is essentially a normal human as far as powers are concerned. And while you should be warned that this story will get dark in some places it's (hopefully) balanced out by humor and the lighter stuff. I'm not sure how to end this synopsis section so I'll just say bye. Bye!
