《My new life - adopted by Wengie》Chapter 1 - A dream to a nightmare

"Have you packed ALL of your essentials?"asked Mother and emphasizing on the 'all'.
I always seem to leave something behind and ended up pulling mum back to just take one single thing.
"Bag of ice,checked. Condiments,checked. Drinks,checked. Utensils,checked. Cups and plates ,checked. Tablecloth,checked. And last but not the least,sunscreen." i ticked of things of my checklist.
"All checked,Madam!" i replied.
And we flag a cab to Fernwood park.
The scenery there was perfect!
The cheeping sparrow were flying around forming small circles in the sky,and the lady-like tulips sprouted up ,adding a splash of colour to the plain boring grass.
I had a whale of a time!
Time flies when you're having fun.
And soon it was time to go home.
"Pack up Gloria! "We're going home now!We'll come here next time"exclaimed my Mum at the back of the car.
As I was walking back,i caught a glimpse of something shiny among the grass.
I bent down and picked it up.
It was crescent moon with a heart beside it.
It only took a moment for me to realized that it was mum's bracelet!
"Mum!I found your bracelet!" I shouted, walking towards our car.
"A bracelet?"she asked.
"Yes,"i handed it over.
"Thank goodness you've found it!"she was trying to fake a laughed.
"Now get up the car and get back home!"and she pulled me into the car.
I've always seen Mum wearing the bracelet but never told me where it came from and i was curious.
"Where did this bracelet come from?" i asked her.
The smile on her face quickly turned into a sad one.
"Well... if you don't want to say..."
"It was from your Dad before we divorce..." she interrupted me.

Mum had always blamed herself for forcing Dad to commit suicide.
"Before i married your father,he was the son of a rich company and was always a gentleman,"she began her story.
"After we graduated,he proposed to me and i agreed," i nodded my head and she continued.
"He started going out early and coming home late I thought he had another women outside..."
Hazel-Gloria's mother
Charles-Gloria's father
"YOU CHEATED ON ME!" Hazel shouted.
"I DID NOT!"Charles shouted back.
"GET OUT OF THIS HOUSE!YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE GLORIA'S FATHER!" Hazel screamed while throwing random things out of the house.
"YOU'LL REGRET THIS!" taking his things,he stomped out of the house.
"i found out that his dad's company had bankrupted and he was juggling three jobs to keep up with the expenses. But when I found out the truth...it was already too late."
"The next day...he was on the news..." Mum started murmuring, with tears flowing down her red cheeks.
"This will be something that will keep you reminded of me" she handed me her bracelet.
"Mum..."
The tires screeched and everything went pitch black.
Completely black.

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]

This story is on hiatus/abandonned. People die, then that's all... or at least, it should be that way. There may be anomalies, yes – the occasional hero of old getting reincarnated for some obscure purpose – but who knows what the gods are thinking. If they are thinking at all. If there are gods, to begin with. What would explain such a mistake, then? The hero mark wasn't given to our reborn champion, but to his perfectly normal sister. A prank from these mindless gods, perhaps. Luckily for him, he was done with this hero business and had other plans for his new life, so it's all good... Here is the story of one who isn't meant to stand among heroes, kings and emperors anymore, yet will find himself holding power over them.
8 156They Are Our Smols
You’ve read They Are Smol. You’ve enjoyed They Are Smol (if you haven’t, well, prepare to not enjoy this one either). But this is smols like you’ve not seen them before. This is extreme smolness with a lemon twist: smols fucked up big time in this one, and Earth, well… Earth is empty of smols. At least the ayys hope so, because it’s fallout time back there. The ones that got away — and let’s face it, it was all of them that were left — had no place to go. Homeless, smol and needing protectings, they were taken in. For the lucky ayys out there, they’re our smols. This is a not-so-serious slice of life alternate universe where the entire population of Earth, what was left after the dead man’s switch was flipped and the nukes successfully irradiated the planet, were evacuated en masse and then taken in by the galactic civilization at large. I’ll probably write a few more in this silly, comfy alternate timeline to expand on what’s different, but don’t take it too seriously, okay? I do not take credit for the original setting, this story is set in an alternate version of the 'They are Smol' universe, written by the one, the only u/tinyprancinghorse.TPH takes many forms and is known by many names. He is like Nyarlathotep, only smaller and cuter and more prancey. TPH also has a Website and a Patreon.
