Or: A modern day person unexpectedly finds themselves thrown into Hyrule, where they run into the Links. _________________________________________ 28.2.2020 - 28.2.2024 Part one is now finished. The sequels are getting planned. Thank you for everyone who read and enjoyed this tale whether on AO3, Wattpad or Fanfiction.net.

When all things fail, she decides to go to a party her friend invited her to, hoping to let loose and forget all her problems, but what she didn't know was that this was a typical frat party, meaning Liliura was going to have to be extra careful. At least she tried...until she decided to take a drink from a random guy. She blacked out only to wake up in a holding cell. It didn't help that she didn't remember anything that happened at the party or that the tattooed Greek god sitting next to her invaded every thought in her mind. -𐀔- "Do you by any chance have 50,000 dollars?" I looked at her with a raised eyebrow. Why would a girl like her need that much money? It must have something to do with why she was in the holding cell. When she noticed I didn't answer her eyes shined with nervousness. Usually I'd like to see the uneasiness in people but, on her, I'm not so sure I like it. "Why do you need it?" I said, causing her eyes to widen as she quickly averted her eyes to anything else but me. "Well, I might have destroyed a very expensive painting and I kind of need to pay the people back-and before you say anything, it wasn't my fault, it was drunk me fault." I let out a sigh and ran my hand through my hair. This girl is something else. -𐀔- Follow the werid, cute and complicated relationship of Victor and Liliura including: Emotional scenes Corny Jokes Romance And so much drama that it will make you feel like your watching a reality tv show. -hope you like it- [warnings are included] *The Main Character has Little space syndrome therefore her actions might seem childish and odd.*
Are you okay? by tiarobinswrites

She wanted to die. He wanted to live. ••• A hand grabbed onto my wrist, yanking me back just as the train rushed past, before I'd even had time to comprehend whether or not I'd carry out the action. I stumbled back into the person's chest, my heart jumping out as I swivelled around, startled to find myself staring into piercing dark brown eyes. "Were you going to jump?!" "No," I drawled out sarcastically, ignoring the intensity of his eyes as they bore into my own, "I just stand on the edge of train platforms at midnight because I feel like it." Seeing the stranger tense, I stepped away from the edge, feeling his hand let go of mine as I picked up my bag before moving to sit down on one of the platform benches. Letting out an evident sigh of relief, he sat down after tentative movements towards me, and I could feel his intense gaze raking across my features. His eyes never left me, I was sure of it, with every step both he and I had taken. "Are you okay?" He had asked warily, apparent apprehension in his deep voice while he spoke, "Do you want to talk about it?" "What's there to talk about?" I threw his question back at him, watching him study me for a few critical moments before his potent gaze switched to our surroundings. "I did just watch you nearly kill yourself; that might be a place to start?" ••• She didn't expect for a complete stranger to stop her milliseconds away from committing suicide. She didn't expect him to be so kindhearted and patient. He didn't expect to stop her from jumping in front of a train the first time they met. He didn't expect to find himself falling for the one girl he knew he shouldn't. [Word Count: 180,000 - 200,000]
An Endless Journey Into Another World by CatWuwu
15 parts Ongoing Mature
Imagine being one of the humans transported to a colossal planet where monsters lurk around every corner, and you have no guide, weapons, or abilities to rely on. You might think it resembles some dark sandbox RPG games, but it doesn't work that way. In the aftermath of a prophecy foretelling Earth's destruction, billions of people vanished from around the globe, transported to a planet called Eldrasia, a world the same size as Jupiter. People were scattered all across its vast expanse. The questions surrounding what happened to Earth and why they were transported remain unanswered; no one knows the cause of this phenomenon, and its mysteries elude understanding. Here, the full potential of one's being is unlocked; magic and super strength are possible, but abilities aren't granted automatically. Individuals must work hard to achieve and discover their hidden talents and skills, seeking knowledge in dangerous areas to fully understand and unlock their potential to survive and rebuild humanity. In this new world, there are no guides to lead the way. Everyone must rely solely on their instincts and determination to navigate deadly environments, unknown territories, mysterious civilizations, and ancient ruins. Eldrasia is a world within a world, filled with treacherous dungeons that contain traps and monsters eager to prey on the unprepared. Unlike anything found in games, these dungeons offer no easy loot; they test the limits of strength and resolve. Towering structures rise with thousands of floors that anyone can challenge, offering unique abilities, rare equipment, and unknown materials. However, reaching the top floor is shrouded in mystery, with rumors suggesting that Demons and Gods of this world reside there. This world isn't designed to be easy; it's a nightmare where every decision could mean the difference between life and death. --- 09/15/2024 - Present
