"Princess Ava, could you please tell me where exactly we're going?"
"Wait, we're getting ice cream?"
This was really interesting.
I really take a liking to the ice cream Princess Ava calls a "derpy-eyed munchie bear pop", but if she claims that this is better, then I guess I'll have a taste.
"Woah!"
When we came close to the shop, Princess Ava grabbed my wrist and practically dragged me along with her because she was running really fast.
(She must be more excited than I thought.)
Y/N's POV
"Thanks for the ice cream, miss!"
"You're welcome, come again soon!"
I had just finished serving another customer.
Life can be a bit difficult when you're the waitress, cashier and ice cream maker all at the same time.
We'll, that's my life every Monday to Friday at the ice cream shop that I own.
Well at least I really enjoy my job, and is has become easier to get things done ever since I learned how to finish multiple orders at once.
Plus, if I want to treat myself, I could just make myself some ice cream.
Not like I'm paying for it, since I literally own the shop and everything in it.
Since there was no one in the store, I decided to go grab a nice cold can of F/S from my mini fridge that I keep nearby for when I feel the need for a quick refreshment.
Almost as if on queue, the little bell on the door rang signalling that new customers just came inside, right when I finished my drink and threw the empty can in the trash bin.

I looked up to greet the new customer, but I was surprised to see the same girl in magenta that came in the other day and asked for the WEIRDEST order.
And it seemed like she brought someone else with her.
"Hey, um... Can I help you?"
"Woman, I can't even possibly remember the monstrosity of an order that you gave me!
J-Just go sit while I get the menu, ok?"
I came back quickly on my skates with a menu and handed it to the man that magenta girl called "Rhys".
While it looked like Rhys was thinking about what choice he would make (at least I assumed so), I got a little distracted by how cute he looked.
BF/N always taunted me in high school about how I easily fell head over heels for other kids in school who wore glasses.
I guess that never left...
(Wait, Y/N what are you thinking!?He's only a customer!)
As I was mentally punishing myself for thinking of a total stranger as cute, I didn't even notice magenta girl half yelling my name.
Only when she yelled at me really loudly did I snap back into reality.
"H-Huh, what?"
"Hmm. I can't really think of anything specific that I want."
"Uh, sure then."
I immediately got to making something that I thought they'd like.
I just made something that looked similar to the weird combination magenta girl ordered.
But I decided to do something a little extra for Rhys.
{Time skip: 25 mins later}
"You have been asking me that over and over this whole time, and yes I'm done!"
*sigh*
I finally finished their ice cream, magenta girl was really impatient for hers.
The whole time, I still couldn't get over how cute Rhys looked.
"Alright, just take your cone already."
As soon as I came close, she just snatched the cone from my hand and started scarfing it down like it's nothing.
"Oh my goodness...
Whatever.
And here you go!"
I was just about to put the ice cream bowl down on the table when...

Shovels In Spades
We all have dreams of becoming powerful, becoming the cool mage that rules the world, living as the dashing rogue who can steal a kingdom's entire royal treasury undetected, or perhaps, the valiant knight whose prowess on the battlefield is unmatched by all. However, when the apocalypse strikes, you can only use what you have at your disposal, be that guns, baseball bats, your fists, or maybe, just maybe, a shovel. One young man who goes by the name of Darenzo has just had his world altered into one that is now the focal point of some sort of experiment. Just at the end of his shift at the skip site, a worldwide announcement was made, that not only changed Darenzo's life, but also the lives of all of the Earth's inhabitants. Can Darenzo survive and thrive in this changed world? Or will his growing madness best him? The answers to these questions can only be revealed with time. [Goal of 2 chapters per week, the only exceptions being announced breaks or emergencies] (The new cover art is a courtesy of the very kind and talented ssddx and was designed using the fanart cover of cthulupillar as the base.)

Technically Sentient
Technically Sentient is the uncomfortable answer to the Fermi Paradox: bureaucratic inertia. There's also a shark cop in there too. And a human meat tank and a bunch of greys down on their luck and a viral bioengineered killing machine and a T-posing AI and a cat. But they're not important, in the grand scheme of things.

A Virtual Invasion
An invasion from another dimension is shut down by an Empire's traitor and the world has a scant few decades to build the strength to resist a multidimensional Empire. How will the world fair when no one even knows its doom is one barred gate away? Fortunately, the traitor has a plan. Maybe with a bit of luck and planning, he can build a force to defend the world without anyone realizing it. Author's Thoughts: What is litRPG (From wikipedia) - LitRPG, short for Literary Role Playing Game, is a literary genre combining the conventions of MMORPGs with science-fiction fantasy novels.[1] LitRPG is a literary genre where games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story. A LitRPG work simultaneously narrates the story of characters inside and outside of the game-world. At least some of the characters in a LitRPG novel therefore understand that they are playing a game: they are 'meta-aware'. So, while Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel, a book about people creating avatars and interacting in a Lord of the Rings MMORPG would be a LitRPG novel.Why do I read them? You know, I am not too sure. I love MMOs. I played them, quit them, joined up and repeated the cycle. They are fun! They are a massive waste of time but so are most games. Do I want to read about someone else playing them? Sort of?The advent of VR and the possibility of VR someday becoming so immersive that you can't tell them from reality sets the imagination on fire. What if this could be life? But most stories fall short. At the end of the day the protagonist hangs up his VR helmet and goes to have dinner with his mom and dad or other family and it becomes meaningless. It's like the story that ends because the main character woke up and nothing you read matters.There have been some books that explore the concept of the intersection of reality and total immersion VR. Enders Game is a classic. There were a few others that escape me but they exist, however, the cross between the game and reality is weak.So what if the game was real? The technology needed for total immersion VR is so advanced that by the time we reach that goal technology should have naturally evolved to include several items. You must have direct neural input. You simply can't have a total immersion (all senses and perfect presence) experience without this basic prerequisite. If you have direct neural access, you can probably do neat things like feed knowledge and skills directly to that person. You can undoubtedly do many horrible things as well. Muscles are controlled by the brain. If you control the brain why would you let the body just sit there and rot? A person that sits unmoving for 24 hours a day will have their body whither away just like a coma patient. However, if you control the brain you could control the muscles. On a basic level, this would be isometric impulses, working muscle group against muscle group to avoid atrophy. Taken to its logical conclusion you would be able to gain muscle mass and program muscle memory. The flip side is that you could remote control their body... but let's not go there. So what would people do if it were real? Well, they would probably limit and regulate it since the drawbacks are very obvious. Even if you look at the basic aspects of this you can see some negative possibilities. Look at the Sword Art Online anime. Personally, I think they missed the boat by putting a bomb in the VR helmet. Do you really need a bomb when you have direct access to the brain?So what kind of events would you need to have a situation where the obvious drawbacks haven't been explored? Maybe a society where the advancement of technology has so far outstripped the explorations of its applications that ignorance was truly bliss? Okay, so I had to put in an alien invasion to kickstart the premise, but that was just one of the possibilities.
