Not everyone wants to be a princess. Princess Carolina Ysabelle-Aurora Radieux Jenkins or as everyone knows as simply Princess Laura Jenkins would do everything to live an ordinary life even for just a few moments. All she wanted is to experience being free of everything that came along with being a princess, even if it means she has to be someone else. Everything was perfect, she became Vanessa Carter, got to New York safely, and even landed herself a job (thanks to her friend), without a hitch.

What would happen if Nathaniel finds out about the truth?

Akibat permainan elit politik, masyarakat yang kecewa dan tertekan oleh kondisi ekonomi harus merendahkan martabatnya dengan melakukan penjarahan, pembunuhan, pembakaran, dan pemerkosaan. Akibatnya sesama warga Indonesia harus menanggung kehilangan yang begitu besar baik secara material (kerusakan infrastruktur, kerugian finansial) maupun non-material (kematian, cedera fisik maupun kejiwaan). Sayangnya sampai saat ini dalang maupun pihak yang mengambil kesempatan dalam kerusuhan tidak diusut secara tuntas. Cerita pendek ini mengisahkan sebuah keluarga sederhana yang terjebak dalam tragedi Mei 1998 di Jakarta. #Wattys2016 #WattysID #VisualStory

But when he's gifted a beta copy of Eliona's War - a Virtual Reality online game that's the very first of its kind - he reluctantly gives it a try. Thus, Severance the healer is born. All he wants is to quietly explore on his own without having to deal with other people. Unfortunately for him, there's a few problems with that plan. Not only did he choose a class that's in high demand, but some players just won't take no for an answer. And the game NPCs? They definitely have a mind and an agenda of their own.
