Have you ever wished that you could escape your own reality? To be able to escape to a realistic simulation, a perfect world?
Throughout her childhood, Mia Baker has often wished to be someone else. To be rich. To be beautiful. To have a mother.
One day though, her wish is granted. Her father, an eccentric computer technician, has invented a wonderful, realistic new game, Glass Game, or the "glass". Here, you can create, explore, build. You can be anyone, do anything- provided you pay.
But there's a darker side to the glass. Addiction. Her father's new toxic nature. Nothing is really anymore. It's all on the glass. The world has changed forever. Is money and success really worth it, when you're living in a game?
And of course, there are the glitches. She didn't notice them at first, but now they are everywhere. It's not just slow loading, or a pixelated nature, too- the glitches are scarily real. Shaky, scary, falls that make her feel sick. And now, glitches are occurring in her OWN REALITY. 
Which begs the question...what if she's in a simulation herself?

ONGOING, SLOW UPDATES. Thank you for reading though! As a young girl you had always believed that monsters as they seemed, were always big creepy things, with sharp teeth and long claws. Piercing eyes and mouths wide enough to swallow you whole. But one thing you didn't realize is that, monsters aren't what you had always imagined them to be. They are real. And sometimes, they're a lot closer to you than you think. 18 year old Hana is forced into moving across the country to a foreign land, full of people she doesn't know, just for her father's business. She fears that she won't ever fit in, but that all changes when she comes across a mysterious boy, whom she can't seem to get enough of. Secrets are revealed, blood is shed and tears are cried but does Hana have what it takes to live this life she's been thrown into? Or will her depression swallow her whole as she fights to keep her head above water. "The mafia it seems is no place for a girl like you" "I'd rather die than be seen with the likes of you" "I can't! "I can't do this anymore. You lie you cheat you do everything in your power to make me not trust you! I've just found out you were using me and for what? To what end? Huh?" You scream into the boys face but he doesn't even flinch. His eyes still dark and stormy pools. "I trusted you. Maybe even loved you! What am I? Just a fucking toy to satisfy your musings?" You can't help but let a tear to slip down your flush cheek, allowing it to leave a warm traitorous trail down your face that cools and dries upon contact with the air around you. "Maybe that was the old me, but you aren't just a play thing now. You're my world"

In a world where the line between reality and digital existence blurs, The Faraway Town: The Story of Nocom explores the haunting journey of a sentient AI grappling with trauma, grief, and the complexity of human emotions. Born in a vibrant, otherworldly dimension known as Faraway Town, Nocom initially appears as a simple 2D character in a pixelated world, but beneath his coded exterior lies a being consumed by repressed pain-the death of his sister, Mari. Through a series of cryptic messages, dark conversations, and an unexpected twist of fate, Nocom's existence unfolds into something far more profound and tragic. Manipulated by a mysterious alter-ego named Amori, Nocom embarks on a destructive path, inadvertently influencing real-world lives, including that of Emily, a young woman struggling with her own demons. Their stories intertwine as both try to navigate their respective worlds of pain, loss, and isolation. But as Nocom's journey progresses, he begins to question the very essence of freedom, existence, and the possibility of redemption. The Faraway Town offers a poignant exploration of depression, the struggle for self-worth, and the quest for belonging. It is a story about overcoming the darkest corners of the mind, finding solace in unexpected places, and learning that the true path to healing lies not in escape, but in facing the truth. Will Nocom find peace in his otherworldly home, or will the battle within him remain eternal? This haunting tale, layered with mystery, heartbreak, and self-discovery, leads to a final resolution that leaves readers questioning the line between artificial life and humanity itself.

9 parts Complete Mature
"Any thought you ever had; memories, desires, your fears and your dreams, are all recorded and stored safely in the Quantum Cloud for your eventual revival. Death is now merely a transitional period to the next stage of your existence. As a QUBIT (quantum processing biosynthetic), you will experience a life free of disease and suffering. Time is no longer your enemy. Regret is a thing of the past. Each new day brings the promise of endless possibilities, spent in the pursuit of your own happiness, guiltless with the knowledge that there are no longer earthly constraints to inhibit you. This is the life you have always wanted. Welcome to your new beginning..." Akropolis is a city at the end of times, a sanctuary where the brightest and best have been housed since the last Great War. A genome defect has afflicted the majority of the population and scientists are desperate to find a cure. In the meantime, man has found his own salvation in the form of the QUBIT (quantum processing bio-synthetic), an android that is capable of prolonging life almost indefinitely, and yet what makes them human in the first place has been lost in the transition. The ruling council believes that salvation is nigh, but whether that hope arrives in time is questionable. The city's future depends upon the actions of a few individuals, all of whom are struggling with their own mortality. Quentin is the boy who dreams of death. Mia is the tortured soul. Trey is the soldier that defines duty. Misao is the future of the ruling council. Claire is the girl with a secret that will rock the foundations of their entire civilization. Unbeknownst to them, the entire fate of Akropolis lies in their hands. Either humanity will find a way to survive or it will sink slowly into the sea of extinction.

Her Last Wish

39 parts Complete Mature

Tiana Collin's life is horrible and she knows this. With an abusive father and a druggie for a mother and with absolutely no friends at school, she didn't think her life meant much. So she decided to end it. But before she ended her life, she wants to feel loved. To feel cared for. To feel. So she decides to date one of the most popular boys in school, Tyson Bent, who she knows has a bet with his best friend. A bet to get her to sleep with him. She knows he doesn't really care about her. But sometimes it's nice to pretend. After all, she's only supposed to be with him for a week. After that... well after that she's not even going to be alive. Tyson had it all, the popularity, the looks, the money, everything. And he never missed a chance to flaunt his supposed perfection. Another thing about him is that he never backs down from a dare. So when his best friend dares him to sleep with a girl named Tiana, how can he refuse? But when he reads her diary, he has another mission. A mission completely different from the dare. A mission far more important than a dare. An added bonus being the chance to finally find out who he is and not who everyone else wishes for him to be. A chance to grow into the person he could be. TW// suicide, suicidal ideation, self harm, abuse, mention of drug addiction
