Chapter 10
"What the hell, Bradley!" Tom yelled.
"Are you serious? Have you seen what she's hiding?" Bradley replied, angrily. The whole room fell silent, except for them. Tom glanced for a second at Tori then looked back at Bradley.
Faye and I peered over at Tori who was sitting innocently on the floor, blinking through tears.
"I'm sorry, I didn't think it was that serious!" She said. I looked at her arm, which was stained with her own blood, from a zombie taking a bite. The bite itself was green and full of mucus, and her forearm was gradually bruising all over. It didn't look good.
"Do you not remember what happened yesterday?" Bradley hissed at Tom. Tom stayed silent. "When we watched Jack die?" Bradley was bright red and I could see his eyes were getting watery, "When one of those creatures bit him? And we couldn't do anything to help him?" Bradley calmed down a bit, "When you are bitten, you die. She's been bitten. And then what happens when people die?" Bradley slouched against the wall, "...they turn,"
I couldn't believe what Bradley had just said. Tori is going to die. She's going to go in such a horrible, torturous way. I wouldn't wish a death like that on my worst enemy.
Faye looked startled and hurried over to Tori who was weeping with tears. Faye tried to calm her down but she wasn't getting very far.
I just stood, frozen, shocked. My breathing became heavy and I just couldn't believe what was happening. If a zombie bites you, you die and become one.
Everyone in the room was almost terrified. We didn't know how long Tori had left. I looked worriedly at Lauren who was sitting with her knees up and crying in the corner. I saw Lewis and Josh staring into space, thinking. Bradley and Tori were shaken and upset. And Tom, he was away from everyone else.

I broke the silence. "Tori?" She looked up at me. "Are you in pain?" I went and sat next to her. She hesitated for a second.
"A bit," I knew she was lying, as she didn't want anyone to worry about her. I looked around at the rest of the group.
"Is there a first aid kit in here?" I asked. Tom was nearest the cupboard but he found nothing. "The infirmary is near the science classrooms. Maybe we could..."
"We can get the medicine and then move over to the science block," Josh said. I nodded and looked around for the groups support. They all chorused a 'yes'.

Ocean Attuned - A timeloop LitRPG
In the mids of industrialization, Liana, a girl of almost twelve, awakens her flow and follows her newly awakened calling, the ocean, and thus the path of the last remaining god. With the advent of industry, one's status and the accompanying skills slowly grow to be secondary as people choose more recreational skills and classes. The clear exception are flow bringers. Humans with an increased affinity towards flow and attunements are the only real remnants of the age of gods and mysticism. Terrors on the battlefield, saints in hospitals, saviours during drought, are just some examples of the wonderous abilities they display. As civilization grows less dangerous so does the stress that is often associated with the awakening of the flow reduce and only the real talents remain. Please be aware that this is a first draft at best. Tag/Genre analysis: Action: A theme that will appear in the story at some point (probably 15+ chapters in) Adventure: Yes Fantasy: Yes Magic, Beasts, and other fantastical elements are totally at home here. Tragedy: Life is not always fun. For what is fun when there are no downsides. I don't know how heavily I am going to lean into this genre. I want to but don't expect too much. Loop: Yes, though I will not divulge anything else. Just be aware that there isn't nearly as much looping as in MoL for example. Female Lead: Yes, Liana is female. Dungeon: Yes, there are dungeons. Yes, they will get explored. LitRPG: Yes, read the first chapter if you want an example. Magic: most definitely because who doesn't like calling lighting down from the heavens. (Disclaimer: No actual lightning will be called down from the heavens) Mythos: There are gods. So maybe, I don't know if that is enough to qualify? Progression: yes Slice of Life: There is plot, and the story will mostly be about that plot, but there will also be downtime because there can't always be action. The first "loop" especially the first 20-30 chapters will be heavily SoL. And afterward there will be a lot less. Profanity: The ocean (see title) includes sailors and we all know how the stereotypical sailor is. Gore: Hmmm, some but I will have it be not graphic at all.

Nevertheless, A Fantasy World
Aldieas, a world where five races exist in harmony namely, the Humans, Vasters, Serensis, Oreals, and the Alpsis. Before, this world was bathed in a gruesome bloodbath because of countless war between the races that created their own kingdoms. The lack of progress of the Era earned the disapproval of the God who created the world resulting in sending thirteen Demon Lords to dominate the world and erase any existing races. As the five races fell into despair, they summoned a hero as last resort to fight off the Demon Lords. The hero that was summoned, a lone man, has brought hope and salvation to everyone. Eventually, the hero defeated the Demon Lords but because of what he witnessed about this world, he himself becomes dismayed and chose isolation. Thousand of years has passed and the world has reached a new Era. Right then, the Hero decided to check on things. Author's Note: Do think that this is extremely similar to my other story settings. It's slightly r-15 but I guarantee that any explicit will be tone down. Further emphasis on the story genre will be updated soon.
