《Sally (Book 1)》Chapter 1: Birthday
Advertisement
(A/n:Angela is 13 years old, her picture is on there)
"Happy birthday Angela!" yelled Angela's family surrounding her. Angela has brown hair with hazel eyes that are covered with big round funny looking turtle shell glasses.
She smiled and looked down at the chocolate cake that had her name written in pink.
"Blow out the candles and make a wish!"
Angela thought about it for a minute and then said in her head "What I really want is a doll. Not a barbie, but a real one." She knew that dolls were for babies but she didn't care.
Ever since she was younger she had wanted one but they never had any money like they do now.
She closed her eyes and blew the candles out.
Everyone cheered. Her mother named Brenda pushed through the crowd and hugged Angela. Her dad Scott just smiled and said "Congratulations kiddo."
He never really said her name, he always called her kiddo. "Present time!" exclaimed Brenda. Angela smiled and sat in the middle of the table.
Her relatives all sat around her. "Me first!" yelled Brenda in excitement. She hands Angela a present.
Angela opened the present to find that inside of it was a diamond iPhone 6s case.
Angela sat there silently with a frown on her face and then Brenda frowns too. "You don't like it?" she asked.
"I like it but I don't have a phone..."

SNATCH! The mother snatched it out of her weak little hands."Well let's not let it go to waste." she said as she put the phone case on her phone. "Oh and look. It fits perfectly! What a coincidence."
Everyone looked at her. "WHAT?" she asked. "It's not my fault she doesn't have a phone."

Everyone stayed silent. Then her grandma said "Why don't you open mine. I promise it will be for you." She slowly walked over and gave it to her.
Angela opened it and took out a jewelry box. She opened the box to find a necklace with an angel on it.
Her grandmother spoke up and said "This angel will protect through your darkest times."
Angela hugged her grandma and said "Thank you." After they let go of each other, Brenda sighed loudly.
Angela glanced at her mom and Brenda rolled her eyes and stormed to the kitchen.
Scott noticed the tears in her eyes as he walked passed Angela. He looked at Brenda. "Maybe it would be nice if you actually got her a present that was for her."
Brenda wasn't even listening to what he was saying. She was too busy looking at "Angela's" new phone case.
Scott went in kitchen to see Angela sitting at the table. Scott walked over to her.
Angela sniffed and looked up. "Mom does this every year and it hurts every time. Can't she just pretend that she cares?" She began to cry harder.
Scott hugged Angela and said, "Listen, everything will turn around one day and everything will be back to the way it was. I promise."
Angela smiled. "Ok Dad I love you." Scott smiled. "I love you too. Now why don't you come into the living room with us."
Angela laughed. "Okay."
********
After her party, Angela went to her room. It was very simple. The room had a blue background because Scott and Brenda were expecting a boy. Angela's name was going to be Angelo until Brenda found out that it was a girl and changed the name.
But that didn't stop Scott, he still did activities with Angela. One time they went to the summer little league for girls 4 years ago.

Angela loved baseball until she couldn't make any teams and no one wanted to be her friend, so she decide to quit.
Angela changed into her pajamas and brushed her teeth. Once she was done, she layed down in bed. She slowly closed her eyes with a yawn. Scott walked in. "It's time for bed."
She yawned again. "Ok Dad." Scott sat in the seat next to Angela's bed. Scott tucked her in. "Go to bed, you have school tomorrow."
Angela frowned a little. She HATED school so much. No one talked to her and she didn't even have one friend. Scott kissed her forehead and left the room as he turned off the lights.
Angela wasn't ready for school. Maybe she could call in sick or say something happened but she couldn't. She didn't want to miss any extra days.
She slowly closed her eyes went to sleep.

The Court of Souls?
Author's Comment: 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) ——————————————————————————————— Reading Order of the Multiverse-Books ——————————————————————————————— What do we talk about tonight? ~“How about a story?”~ Fine by me. Which story? Hopefully a good one. ~“There was once a lonely child in a world filled with myths, gods and demons. Only power counted there and the weak were worse than cattle. A world where survival of the fittest ruled.”~ Was it strong then? ~“No, but the child had a power. One that made him stand between light and darkness. Nothing could escape him, so he was shunned by his people.”~ What did he do? Did he fight his fate? Did he hide his power? What was it? ~“Oh, he fought. He fought a lot. And no thing could escape his power. It was something that everyone had to live with.”~ So he became a hero and changed the world? ~“…”~ Tell me. ~“Nooo, that's not how the story goes. This isn't a story of a noble man, doing good amidst a sea of monsters. This is a story of a demon who was... kinder than the rest.”~ A kind demon? How boring. ~“I think it would be better if I tell the story, so you can judge for yourself.”~ So tell the story!

Redshirt: The Journey
Freedom and Order. Peace and War. Love and Hate. Hundreds of young children awaken in a damaged world, on the brink of societal collapse, witnessing the birth of an omnipotent system. Their roles are pre-determined, yet the very fabric of reality lie in their hands. The order of the world shapes them, just how they are free to shape the world in their disparate visions. Each choice, each action, each word, has consequences that reach far beyond their perception. Freedom or Order; ashes in the wind, or the gilded chains. Updates at least every Monday, Thursday, and every other Sarturday, (from 26/11/2021). This is primarily a story exploring what it means to be human, using a lens of a hopefully real-feeling fantasy world. This story is not a power fantasy or a traditional Litrpg , while it has elements of these genres, it will focus on how these tropes would influence real people and possibly Redshirt will break some of these tropes along the way. There will be a variety of different characters and perspectives, some you hate, some you love, and some that will frustrate. Just as all people do. I don't believe there will be anything overly traumatic or explicit, but it's better to be safe than sorry. There will be some heavy topics explored, the characters views do not reflect the authors; however, if there is an issue in how I present/understand these issues please do tell me, and I will try my best to rectify it.
