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?

24 parts Complete Mature
Lonely. That's what she was. See, she left her best friend in high school. They met in their first year of high school, she slowly fell in love with him but instead of admitting her feelings she pushed him away, she told him they should stop hanging out, he reluctantly agreed and told her that if that would make her happy then they would stop hanging out, little did he know is that not long after that she fell into a depression, locked herself in her bedroom for months on end, refused to eat properly, became suicidal, began harming herself and was anything but happy. She dropped out of school at the age of fifteen and began studying at home or at the local library to get to University. That worked out for her, she changed her looks and everything else about herself just so she'd feel better about herself during the four years she had at home, she slowly began eating properly again, she overcame her depression and she got into university with flying colours. She is even currently two months clean of self harm. But could her walls come caving in when she meets him again? Will he recognise her despite her change of appearance? Will seeing him again bring old feelings back up? And most importantly, is there a way back for the two of them or will they have to start all over again? Could it be a cycle of strangers, to best friends, to nothing all over again? Hit that read button to find out. Enjoy guyssss ?

"What are you doing babe," Jim's disembodied voice asked her. "I want to talk to you." "You are," his voice said, almost laughing at her. "Yes, but I want to hear you with my ears, not just in my head. I want to see your face again." "Okay. Well, you still have the little scrying mirror coin-thingy, right?" "It's not enough. I want to hold your hand in mine. I want to kiss your lips...I need to feel you again." "I know. You will one day. Soon." Hannah Stolzfus AKA Gabrielle Winston walked between two realms and lost herJim because of it...murdered by the Demon King by way of her unconditional love for her husband. Six months had passed after Jim's death when Chris, a friend from her ghost-hunting days, first approached her with his new "memorial bot," a brand new program that could communicate utilizing various algorithms; that could text and talk via phone and computer. But there were unexplained glitches; ghosts in the machine, he called them. He wanted her professional opinion as a psychic...Were they really ghosts? Knowing that Chris's dream was robotics, she wondered if he could take it a step further into a realm known only to science fiction? What if he could successfully create an android? What if he could create it so that it looked like Jim? What if he could make it sound like him...move like him...behave like him...Be like him? In every way possible...The perfect lure to attract the greedy Demon King. An original story about a love lost and a love reinvented...Like an amazing dream we sometimes wish to continue once we awaken, perhaps best left up to chance? Or not at all... Hannah is a young woman born of Amish ancestry with a secret. A secret so volatile that her entire family would be ousted or worse and to top it off, the souls of all of humanity hang in the balance. Free will's a bitch.

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.
Akropolis by hcedwards
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.

The Impostor among us

7 parts Complete

Have you ever imagined after a Thursday night with your friends or even your family, waking up in a dark room with five other strangers? Or even seeing that movie "Escape Room" and have a dream where you have to try and survive crazy obstacles that are trying to kill you? You didn't? Oh, you got lucky, because after a normal Thursday night, I woke up in a room with six strangers and was forced to play a sick game. Sure games are fun and enjoyable, a little competition here and there and friendly competition of course, where no one gets hurt. Well the game we played was anything but friendly, at least we were friendly to each other. Or that's what I thought, before one of them stabbed me, and betrayed me and the others. I guess one of us was pretending and lying, being an imposter among us. To know who did it and what happened to all of us you can read our story. I hope you enjoy it, like one of us did. Uh, and I almost forgot one thing, don't get attached.
