Aphmau's P.O.V
"Its for you Aph!" my blue haired friend yelled after answering the door. I walk over to the door to see a seriously hurt red headed girl wearing a silver paper crown. "Shelby?" I say in a concerned voice whilst she smiles weakly at me. "You did it again didn't you?" Ross says rushing over to the door. She slightly nods. "YOU IDIOT I TOLD YOU NOT TO!" Max says running over to. "But you do it..." She says in a high pitched whisper. "But I don't almost kill myself when I do!" Max says in a hushed shout. "It's not as bad as last time, but you do need to rest," Sky says when he calmly walks over to the door with Barney. "But did you hurt them?" Barney asked.She nods again. "I was trying the neutral run," She says quietly. "Papyrus got you good," I say. "We have to go sorry to cut this short!" Sky says ushering everyone out. I wave at them as they leave. Then I felt the stares of my friends burn through me. I have a lot of explaining to do.
"I don't trust them Aph!" a clearly angry Aaron says to me. I shrug as I walk pass him. He then grabs my wrist and turns me around. "What was that Max guy talking about when he called her an idiot?" He asked. I could feel everyone's gaze fall on me. "She did something she shouldn't have." I say with another shrug, but I continue "And I trust all of them with my heart, soul and life, I could jump out of a plane and know one of them will catch me with their bear hands and leave me unharmed!" I say. Then I hear a light knock on the door, and I get it. "I couldn't leave you hear all by yourself to explain everything now could I?" A smirking Jin says. I smile invitingly as he walks in. "I realise that I did not introduce myself properly, My name is Jin and I am basically Aph's brother and I work with technology and stuff like that," He says to all my friends. "And my friend Shelby was wondering places no one should be and in a result she got hurt and that's why Max called her an idiot she was lucky this time she could have got killed," He says. "Hey Jin do you want to stay tonight we have a guest room upstairs!" I say quickly changing the touchy subject. He nods in delight and we walk upstairs.

Aaron's P.O.V
Aph and her 'brother' go upstairs to the spare room leaving us all downstairs highly confused. An awkward silence rang out between us when Garroth finally broke it. "Well would you look at the time I think we best be going!" he said. They all rushed outside leaving me alone. I go outside and climb the tree in our backyard giving me a perfect view of the guest room. They were sitting on the bed together and were talking. When Aph pulled out a lilac box from under the bed. I have never seen that in my life. She takes out a drawing that look like that it was drawn by a four year old that said 'I LOVE YOU' in sloppy writing. She then took out a photo of her with Jin and another pregnant girl. A little tear rolls down her cheek. Jin hugs her and kisses Aph on the forehead. He then gets up and walks over to the guitar and sits on a stool. Aph walks over to the keyboard and starts playing. I discreetly open the window so I could hear Aph sing for the first time.
(Play song)
Jin: Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Aph: Do you ever want to run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming
Jin: No you don't know what its like
When nothing feels alright
Aph: You don't know what its like to be like me
Jin: To be hurt,
Aph: to feel lost
Jin: To be left out in the dark
Aph: To be kicked when you're down
Jin: To feel like you've been pushed around
Advertisement
Both: To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one there to save you
No you don't know what its like
Welcome to my life
Jin: Do you want to be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more
Before your life is over
Aph: Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With the big fake smiles and stupid lies
But deep inside you're bleeding
Jin: No you don't know what its like
When nothing feels alright
Aph: You don't know what its like to be like me
Jin: To be hurt,
Aph: to feel lost
Jin: To be left out in the dark
Aph: To be kicked when you're down
Jin: To feel like you've been pushed around
Both: To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one there to save you
No you don't know what its like
Welcome to my life
Aph: No one ever lied straight to your face
And no one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I'm happy
But I'm not gonna be okay
Jin:Everybody always gave you what you wanted
You never had to work it was always there
Both: You don't know what its like
What its like
Jin: No you don't know what its like
When nothing feels alright
Aph: You don't know what its like to be like me
Jin: To be hurt,
Aph: to feel lost
Jin: To be left out in the dark
Aph: To be kicked when you're down
Jin: To feel like you've been pushed around
Both: To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one there to save you
No you don't know what its like
What it's like
Both: To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what its like
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
"That song is more true then you know," Jin says to Aphmau with sorrow. "Trust me, I do," She says walking over to the door. Jin lays down on the bed and says "Night Jess," "Night Jin Bop," she says and walks out. I scramble down the tree and swiftly sit down on the sofa. Who's Jess?

Until Death? (Refleshed Version)
Ever been a god? Well, I was! Until I died.... and got judged by the other gods! Apparently, they didn't like the whole "My Faith is the only true one!" idea. Oh, and for the record: The Apocalypse wasn't intentional, ok? In my defense, I want it to be known that my enemies threw the first stone and the whole 'Offer the other cheek' just isn't my thing. Seems like, for punishment, I get sent onto a vacation! Or so I hope? ——————————————————————————————— Reading Order of the Multiverse-Books ——————————————————————————————— Author's Comment: It's here, a rewrite? Yes! I would like to think that this version will have better grammar, better jokes, hopefully, everything better. Since it was my first work and started solely to improve my English, the grammar always caused me headaches when I looked at it. Well, and there are the plotholes which appeared with the whole multiverse thing that came with my other works... Let's just say that the first one was never written with the idea of turning it into a series. So let's get a shovel and fill-up the plot so that hapless readers won't fall into those pitch-black pits. They might break a knee! Or worse, vanish forever. And now the disclaimer everyone knows: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently, I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur)

The Legion of Nothing
Nick Klein is your average high school geek--if you can still count as average when your grandfather is a retired superhero, and you've been trained in the martial arts by his friend, a mysterious, immortal mercenary. After his grandfather dies, Nick inherits the last version of the Rocket suit, powered armor that allows him to shrug off bullets, smash through walls, and manipulate sound. Along with it comes the base of his grandfather's superhero team including the team's jet and trophies from forty years of fighting criminals and aliens. Together, Nick and his friends, descendants of his grandfather's teammates, attempt to bring back a superhero team that was originally formed during World War 2. Along the way they'll face the normal problems of high school (bullies, homework, and dating), and the less normal problems like supervillians and mysteries leftover from their grandparents' past. As a story, it uses the conventions of all eras of comics from the 1940s on, ranging from serious to silly. If you're hoping for a grim and gritty story, this isn't it. The Legion of Nothing first debuted on my website legionofnothing.com in 2007. In that period it's updated more than 900 times, is still running, and has had millions of pageviews. The first two years have been released as an ebook, receiving good reviews on Amazon and Goodreads. I hope you'll enjoy it, and that you'll review it and comment. You can also vote for it on Top Web Fiction and rate it on Web Fiction Guide. Member of The Order of Phantasmal Architects.

Earth Ravaged: The Alliance Chronicles Book 1
Originally published on Amazon in 2013, now published here as a serial for the free enjoyment of all. Book 3 to come later this year. This one could also stand a complete re-write with the knowledge and skill I've developed in the interim, and I may do so once I have pushed out chapters for the third book in the series. In the not too distant future, a group of seven people will set out on a mission of exploration to a nearby star system. Their destination is the Tau Ceti system, one of ten planned destinations as part of a new privately-funded space programme, involving many countries across the Earth. However, old problems still exist, and while they make their successful launch, they have no idea what begins to take place at home, what they will face on their journey, and who decides to pay Earth a visit while they are gone.

Dreamland
Dolores is a lucky girl with a high-level avatar in a very popular game. She did not level it up; she got it through some fortunate circumstances. She is not interested in fighting and levelling; all she wants is to have some fun and follow her own fantasies. If only there would not be all those idiots who intend to kill her, capture her, or simply use her. And those flaws in the game! Wait, what? Those pesky game characters now appear in the real world? And they can do magic? How did this happen? Adding to her troubles, her crush does not even look at her. As Dolores tries only to survive and hide between 'normal' people, she encounters stranger and stranger things that force her hand and, in the end, she has the answers to a lot of questions. It is a slow-developing story. I had a lot of fun writing it and hope to share it with you, dear reader if you also enjoy it. On the other hand, putting it in an acceptable form requires much work and energy. I intend to bring it to its end and not let it unfinished. I hate it when I encounter unfinished stories, so I understand the feeling. This is not a classical isekai story. There is travel between the two worlds, and the game world seems to be so very real... well, this is one plot of the story. This is not an MMORP game story. Part of the action happens inside a game world, but it is treated as a real world. Updates on a weekly basis, at least Monday and Friday, with additional bonus chapters as time and energy allow. Cover art: White Flower as A Dark Fairy by Darkrealmsmaiden Yolanda gracefully allowed me to use her dark fairy as cover. There are many more beautiful works of art to be discovered at her site: https://www.deviantart.com/darkrealmsmaiden Additional Grammar Trigger Warning: As a non-native speaker, I do my best. Unfortunately, this is not enough for people with a low tolerance for warped sentences and... they may want to skip the story :( Well, you have been warned :) I appreciate it when a reader points out a sentence that needs rework. That may spare a follow-up reader some pain and helps me understand where my English grammar problems are. * We thought we made the best game in Earth's history We thought we made the best interfaces ever seen We thought we made it - lifelike But it far exceeded our expectations. Dolores, I hope you're happy now. I hope you're alive now...
