Mia's P.O.V
I just got home. I had gone to the doctor and my doubts were confirmed. I'm indeed pregnant with Jacob's child. I don't know what to do. I don't have anyone in this world. I had a grandma who also left me. On this I started crying. I started remembering everyone: my parents, my grandma and... Jacob.
What's going to happen to me? Will I be able to support this child and me financially? All these questions keep coming in my mind.
I have some money which would be of help only for a few months. No matter what I won't be able to abort this child. I'll keep it and make sure that both of us can survive even if I have to inform Jacob about this.
Every day is the same for me. I wake up, run to the bathroom to remove all my food from last night, take a shower and prepare the soup which Jacob had made for me when I was sick back then. I had managed to get that recipe from him once when he came to give me the soup. This is the only food that stays in for a long time.
A month has passed and my routine has still not changed. Today I have another appointment with the doctor.
"Hello doctor." I said to her when I entered her office.
"Hi Mia, come in. Lay down on that bed there." She said.
I lay down there and soon she started to check if everything was fine. At the end of the check-up I was told that the baby is fine but the baby is not getting enough nutrients so she gave me some medicines to help me from vomiting my food.
On the way back home I decided that I have to tell Jacob about the child. I mean he has the right to know after all he's the child father. On reaching home I took the phone and sat on the sofa. I did not have the courage to tell him. I decided to postpone the phone call. Later I'll do so when I have more courage.

After one month:
A month has passed and I still have not informed Jacob about my pregnancy. Every time I feel weak and afraid that Jacob will refuse to acknowledge the child. Not that I need him to survive but the child will need him. Someday he or she will ask me about their father then what will I say?
This time I got some courage and grabbed the phone and dialled Jacob's number and waited.
"This number does not exist." a voice said on the phone.
"But how come" I said to myself.
I redialled and I heard the same thing. I decided to phone Gabriel. They are friends and I'm sure he has Jacob's number.
"Hello." Gabriel said on the phone.
"Hey Gabriel" I said.
"Mia. OMG are you ok?" He asked.
"Yeah I'm fine." I lied.
"Ok. So how come you are calling me?" He asked.
"Umm can I get the phone number of Jacob please?" I asked.
"Umm yeah write it." He said.
"Ok." I said and started writing the number he gave me.
"Thanks Gabriel. I owe you." I said to him.
"Oh it's alright. I know you want the number to congratulate him." He said.
"Uh I'm sorry but congratulate him for what?" I asked clueless.
"He is engaged to his ex-fiancée. I don't know when but I found out this morning on the net. His fiancée had given a statement saying she is engaged to Jacob but did not say anything more than this." He said.
On hearing this I hung up not wanting to hear anymore about it. Tears started falling and I felt heartbroken again. How many times will Jacob break my heart? But I have to stay strong for my child, mine only not Jacob's.

I dialled the number that Gabriel gave me so that I can tell him about the child. I don't want to break their relationship but Jacob has a right to know. It's him who has to decide if he will be a part of my child's life. I won't return to him or have any relationship with him.
I dialled the number and saw that it is already registered on my mobile. That means Gabriel has given me his previous number which do not exist now.
How more fucked up can my life become?

The Infinite Labyrinth
(Story complete - Book 1 "Shanghaied", 2 "Shortcuts", 3 "Secrets" and 4 "Sanctions") It is the 19th century, and war smoulders between England and France. Any hope for a quick end to Napoleon's rampage across Europe ended when the Great Gates opened in 1800. For a fortunate few, the strange world of the Infinite Labyrinth offers opportunities, strange descriptors popping in their minds, informing them of growth, and status beyond that of a mere mortal. The materials and power crystal they bring back foster a new age, both military and civilian. Aether-powered Skyships prowl the skies, as all the great nations blessed by the Gates try to turn the blessings of the Labyrinth into immediate advantages. But for Jonas, an apprentice leatherworker, his friend Ira, and so many Londoners, the fabled ones that walk the Labyrinth are distant heroes, seen from afar. They fell short when their Potential was measured, and they fill their mundane lives with distant dreams. One man wants to break the stalemate. The Tyrant of the Dominion of France, Napoleon Bonaparte, has a plan. Eighteen years after the world changed, he will force it to change again. And when civilians are caught in the fallout, the unthinkable happens. Six people, unqualified, forbidden to ever enter the Labyrinth, find themselves stranded in a distant zone, forcefully turned into Professionals. They know little of what that means, but they have to figure out the rules that are now their lot, for they have little hope to escape their predicament otherwise. They need to understand what the descriptors in their minds mean, what each of the strange piece of gear waiting in treasure chests behind terrible guardians can bring them. They have to become Professionals on their own and rejoin the Empire. They will figure out their new lives one way or another. But will there be an Empire waiting for them when the Gates re-open? Caught in a clash of empires and high tiers, they will do what little they can. They will step up and do their best. One way or another. The Infinite Labyrinth is a slice-of-life litRPG adventure set in a real historical setting. It's a hard, crunchy litrpg. Expect blue boxes everywhere, and the system itself is very mathy. It started life as a serial. I prepared some proper worldbuilding, with enough details and background for lots of different potential story arcs, but as I wrote, I realized the main story needs to have a definitive end. So, there are four books in total, for a bit under 1500 pages, plus additional side stories, and even maybe a sequel one day. The Gore tag was added as a precaution because there are a few scenes with some light gore.

The Meaning of Life
It all started with that voice. One day, a slightly psychopathic teenager named Krey heard a voice in his dream. A goddess's request, a new world, the legacies of the Divine realms, the never-ending storms in the world of Salratia. With the carefree thought of "I shall live as I please~!", Krey sets out to begin his 'otaku' dream. But it is not smooth sailing. Troublesome divine entities, mortal politics and the relationship with his new companions. How could he, a former assassin and former odd-jobs part-time high school student worker (not to mention an otaku), a perfect example of a loner (though he himself doesn't seem to realize it) be able to handle this problem? "Ei! Whatever, there's still a few more centuries! I'll go travel the world in peace!" [Author here. This is my first time writing a story in RRL. Criticism is very welcome as long as it is educational and has some tips and bits of advice for me. I am still learning]
