As in the game where you make someone look at your hand and then smack them in the arm.
No one actually knows who the original creator of "The Circle Game" really is, since it dates back before the 1950s.
It's also more than likely that this game does not have one single creator, like the wheel or paper or anxiety. That's the fun thing about these folkloric things, they just kind of appear out of nowhere and then exist forever.

Mythical
TW- SENSITIVE CONTENT The fun, yet annoying, thing about psychology is that you can choose what to believe and there will be a whole disorder dedicated to just that. Living as a human in a city controlled by vampires is not easy. There used to be other supernatural beings in the city, but then 1899 happened. Now vampires control the city. The Council is no longer able to regulate Seoul, humans are not allowed to leave Seoul, no one can go against the six merciless vampires that rule and control the city. As if that wasn't bad enough, all supernatural beings had soulmates. What's the probability that Jungkook, a normal 20 year old human, was mated to the six rulers? Do the vampires become soft for their mate, or do they end up accidentally killing their mate due to their blood drive? Status: CompletedComplete

The Tattoo | Maze Runner | Gally x Reader
SERIES DISCONTINUED :C I wanted to write a Gally x reader story because Gally gets a lot of hate sometimes and he's underrated :/ Some of this will be my own little AU of what I believe are the sexualities of the characters, gender identities, including my own characters with LGTBQIA+ aspects, including some characters who survive. This is my story, and I hope you enjoy it :) ----------------------------------------------- RELATIONSHIP TYPE: Enemies To Lovers ----------------------------------------------- CHARACTER IMPERFECTION: God Complex ----------------------------------------------- "Hey, Gal!" You chirp, spinning on your heel. "Hey, that was cool." His eyebrows raise in slight surprise, now letting reality sink in that you are actually his girl. And this is what he has to deal with. "Wow, you really are hyper today." "You said it!" You grin. You feel so much energy going through you after good nights of sleep, well. Goodnights as best as you can get. "Here, take this." He hands you something and you start turning it in your hand almost immediately after receiving it. Looking down at it curiously to see some sort of wooden turn. It's kind of like the door handles, or a rower for a fishing rod. Except it's only the handle for a fishing rod. No rod or line. So it's basically just a fidgety piece of wood. You start turning both sides, spinning it around in your hand. "Easy there." Gally chuckles. He steps closer to you, rubbing his arm up and down your back to soothe you. "You doing okay?" "Yep." You chirp, grinning up at him. He double-checks your expression. His eye staring into yours to see how you're feeling. When he's sure you're not too stressed out, he removes his arm from you and throws a rag over his shoulder. "Okay, stick by me. Ya hyper little bunny..." I obviously do not own Maze Runner or the characters, that belongs to James Dashner :) Start Date: 13/08/21 End Date: 11/09/21Complete

One and The Same (a Jacksepticeye and egos AU story)
For years, scientists have wanted to see if they could extract a human conscience and split it into its individual parts. Over and over again they tried and over and over again they failed. Until one day, when they found a way that they were sure would work. The problem: they needed a brand new test subject. Enter Jack. Jack (known as Jacksepticeye on youtube) was kidnapped by the scientists and experimented on. His conscience was extracted and split into individual parts, his body was cloned and the main bulk of his conscience was implanted back into him. Jack survived the experience with very little physical and mental damage and the experiment was deemed a success. And so, the egos were born. They and Jack were kept in the lab and experimented on until the opportunity arose to escape. Once they are released into the real world, Jack discovers looking after multiple clones of himself who know nothing about the outside world is going to be a lot harder than he thought. And to make things worse, Jack is now sharing his mind with Anti. Where the others just want to live their lives as normally as they can, Anti wants revenge. He wants the world to know what they have been through and he wants the scientists to burn for what they did. He craves attention and is willing to get it in any way possible, even if that means putting the group's new-found freedom in jeopardy.Complete
Honey, I Shrunk the Egos
The "egos" are just some fun characters created by Markiplier and Jacksepticeye. Unless they happen to be two sets of best kept secrets, that Mark and Jack are sick of carrying around with them. When the guys go to strange lengths to try and rid their lives of the paranormal duplicates, things only get stranger. No one expected them to shrink, but now that they have, the guys realize they may have created more problems than they solved. (( This is a long, chapter story. Completed. Yeah, I made the egos tiny. It's another weird story line... because, well, I'm a weird person. Yes, the cover is tiny Mark, checking on his youtube channel. It would be up there on his list of concerns, you know it would be. ))Complete
MANIPULATED Book B (Sequel to Tempted)
IF YOU HAVE NOT READ "AREN'T YOU TEMPTED", PLEASE DO SO. AS THIS WILL MAKE ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE TO YOU WHATSOEVER. You decided to: let him go. Welcome back reader. So... You have decided to let Anti go. Interesting... Dont worry, if you want to change your mind after reading the description, you can. But as soon as you start to read the first chapter of any of the two books, your fate has been sealed. Like I said before: choose WISELY. But if you are fully convinced that this is the only way to go, then by all means, go forth on your journey. You let him go. And you start to regret it. You realize that you still love him. But at the same time, you have become very aware of your surroundings, checking your computer for any unnatural signs, looking behind your back as you walk down the street, and lock your bedroom door before you sleep. You feel Anti there watching you. It's quite annoying, but you cant help but get chills every time you think about what Anti said to you. "I not finished with you yet." What does he plan to do to you? Or a better question: what does HE plan to do with you? Turns out you just might be more valuable that you were said to be SAME WARNINGS GO FOR THIS BOOK ⚠️WARNING ⚠️ Contains strong language, blood, violence, ❌possible trigger warnings❌ And not-so-smut (yes its a thing because I invented it.
