《THE DARK ENIGMA • TOM RIDDLE》II. The Letters
Advertisement
The next few weeks went by uneventful after the whole snake incident.
Harry and I went to go get the mail as immediately two envelopes stuck out to me, they were off-white and had a red seal on them.
I hand Harry the normal mail as I hold onto the two letters before realizing one was addressed to Harry, I give him it as his eyes widen and he looks at it intently.
Dudley seems to notice after we hand Vernon the mail that we still had two.
"Dad look! The potters got letters!!!" Dudley shouts suddenly as he snatches it out of our hands.
I scowl at the boy silently as Harry turns around and tries to get the letter back.
"Hey! Give those back! They're ours!!" Harry exclaims as I stay silent but send a death glare toward the youngest dursley.
Vernon laughs as a face of pure amusement crosses his face as he looks at the letter, petunia also came over and was leaning over the older males shoulder and looking at the note.
His grin stops however when he reads what's on the envelope and the symbol. A look of recognition crosses petunia's face as she and Vernon share a knowing look.
Over the past few days, Vernon has seemed to go even more crazy as he would rip up the letters we got and even bolted the mail slip down shut. He even burned them in front of us as if he was getting so much joy out of it! Weirdo...
"Finally, Sunday," Vernon says as I was snapped out of my train of thoughts. "Want to know why?" He asks me and Harry mockingly as I lean against the counter with an eyebrow raised.
"Cause there isn't any post on Sundays?" I question him as a grin crosses his face.

"Right you are, y/n!" He says as he grabs a cookie from the plate Harry was holding.
I stare out the window boredly as I see an owl fly by causing my lips to quirk up in amusement.
Vernon was going on about how there would be no more letters until suddenly a letter shot out from the chimney and hit the cookie out of his hand.
Vernon stops suddenly as he stares at the fireplace before a bunch of letters come flying out.
Harry starts to aimlessly grab them as the dursleys were screaming in terror.
Harry grabs one and tries to run to the cupboard but was stopped when Vernon started to chase him.
I walk over so I was right behind petunia, glancing as Vernon was basically choking Harry.
"Daddy's finally gone mad hasn't he?" Dudley questions fearfully as I grin in amusement.

The Shape of Home
The world of Alvelotyl is one of fantasy, one filled with many races, an expansive magic system exploring themes of identity, some LitRPG elements, moral ambiguity and no small amount of magical inventions similar to those in our world. Dragons with blogs showing off their hoards of treasure live alongside [Hunters] chasing Giant Toads, or [Bandits] using rifles charged with Fire Magic. The Shape of Home is a story within this world, and follows the exploits of Yuri Scalesmith, a budding Lizardfolk adventurer from a small country town with a knack for inventing, and how her life drastically changes after she’s taken from home forever following a single catastrophic event. After being taken from her previously normal life, Yuri is thrust into a world of sprawling streets, magically mutated monsters, and a crime war for territory stretching across an entire city. The Shape of Home normally updates every Tuesday and Saturday at 6PM GMT, but I'm trying out different upload times to see how people react and attract others in differing timezones. There will be two week long breaks after each story arc's Interlude. This story is also a participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge!

The Last Zeus: Book 1- The Beginning
"Who is that superstar?" "Oh, him. They call him Zeus." "Zeus? As in the King of Gods from the myths?" "Ah yes, the very same." "So, where's his pantheon? Which kingdom does he rule?" "He doesn't. He's not your usual king. He's only rules his lonesome." "A king without a kingdom, interesting. So, what's his story?" "Don't ask, lest you wish you never knew."

This is the story of the truth behind the eyes of a man, who lived through a time when no place was ever... Quiet. A tale of the brutal honesty of the human spirit. Of the fragility of the mind. A tale about the resilience of humanity's will to live. A tale, not of the soldiers, but of the people they embody, not of machines, but of workers who built them.

Divine Mortality
Divine Mortality is about the experiences of Players stepping into a new massively online world. A video game which was crafted with near-future technical advances, a game that provides seamless virtual reality headset and control support, a game which was hidden until it's surprise hit release shocking the world of boring and mundane MMORPGs played today, and a game that has been described as a miracle creation. Something which is difficult to create in Today's REAL WORLD, yet, it's not impossible with the right conditions and intentions. I try to implement concepts of my dream MMORPG which I believe will work and fulfill a Player's fun, immersion, creativity, and social world. The story in season 1 follows the first person perspective of an enthusiast of the game, Amulet Pond. Season 2 follows a new individual called Sayooshi, written in a more third person perspective (attempted light novel). (Recommended!) Season 1 covers the rough chapters 1-52, Season 2 (chapters 53+) should be better in quality. You can start reading from 53.
