adventure amplified awakening dreams love sight

Do you ever look around and get the feeling that you could peel back what you see before you? That the reality you see isn't quite what it seems to be? Kaiser has those feelings too, but pushes them into the back of his mind as everybody seems to laugh it off and tell him he's crazy. But is he? Vast spaces of land keep vanishing into thin air, but nobody seems to be questioning why. Through a string coincidences, Kaiser comes to find a book that changes everything, allowing all of his dreams to come true, and finding out the true nature of his reality. 

This is the first draft and any feedback on structure, pacing and writing would be much appreciated. I hope you all enjoy!

The Ardent and The Bard by smzipp

Ever wonder where your dreams go when you wake? Imagine if they drifted off, coalescing with the dreams of others to create a constantly shifting realm of imagination and memories. That is the realm that Shade the Scarecrow and Cole the Wanderer set off to explore. What begins as a simple research expedition escalates into a fight for survival and revelation. ---------------------------------- This is a work based on a D&D campaign I ran with my friends for 4 years (though it is not a "campaign journal"). It's part of a series of novellas I wrote for my players to let them know what their characters are up to. Naturally this means that it was written with the intent that the reader was already familiar with the world. I have done my best to adapt the story for new readers and included footnotes for lore that does not outright speak for itself. If you enjoy this, consider going to my main blog (taleofchampions.wordpress.com) where you can read the appendices and see new chapters early. Thank you for your time. ~-~smzippyy

The Prism Paradox by matthewp118

In the year 2040, Ruze Aizawa stands as a prodigious figure in the scientific community. At the young age of 18, he has achieved the remarkable feat of becoming one of the youngest full-fledged Particle Physicists, boasting expertise across various scientific disciplines that far surpasses his peers. Ruze's unparalleled intellect earns him the prestigious position of project lead for a groundbreaking initiative known as "Project White Spot." Project White Spot revolves around particle research, with the primary objective of unraveling the mysteries of an anomalous phenomenon- a peculiar white spot that materialized during Ruze's particle experiments. Tasked by higher-ups to investigate the nature of this enigmatic occurrence Ruze meticulously plans his next steps. In an unexpected twist of fate, he is inadvertently pulled into the white spot, hurtling through the fabric of reality and landing in a mysterious rift between worlds. The rift is an otherworldly expanse, shrouded in darkness. The only discernible elements are the white prisms scattered across the cosmic space, casting an eerie glow that barely illuminates Ruze's path. In this surreal realm where up and down converge into a singular plane, Ruze discovers the presence of enigmatic entities he dubs "transfigures." These transfigures are faceless beings, draped in shades of grey, possessing massive claws that hint at their otherworldly nature. Ruze, stranded and alone, navigates through the unknown space, guided solely by the eerie illumination of the white prisms. In his quest for understanding, Ruze encounters challenges that test not only his scientific prowess but also his resilience and adaptability. The transfigures, though seemingly menacing, exhibit behaviors that hint at a profound complexity. Ruze must decipher their purpose and, in doing so, uncover the secrets of the white spot and the rift that has become his unexpected gateway to another realm.

Steady Ground | ✔ by ToriHope-

He's damaged. He's lost. And worse of all, his memories have come to life. If he wants to find peace, he'll need to redefine what it really means to move on. -- For the first time in years, Atlas feels like he's separated himself from the misfortune in his life. He's healed, he's rented a decent apartment, he's settled into a solid-enough-for-him job working as a grunt for some scientists. Now he's (reluctantly) traveling to the spring snows of Alaska, where they plan to test the first run of their earthquake-harnessing technology. But something goes wrong. They don't harness the energy of an earthquake. No. Instead, the ground rips apart. A massive crevice forms, leading deep into the Earth. The chasm lulls him forward like a Siren, telling him tales of his mother, of her laughter, of her scent of strong sandalwood, and of his life before her death. Waking up in what he can only describe as Hell, he's confronted with every misfortune in his life. Forced to befriend mirages made from his most painful childhood memories or pay severe consequences, he travels the twisted realm in search of answers.

Blind Promises by Bextra6

A lonely girl from a small town in Oklahoma finds herself in the middle of Seattle, Washington. What she didn't know was fate was about to deal her a hand that she needed to help put all her demons back where they belonged, locked away for good. A war hardened soldier, blinded in an attack while doing a black ops mission, was sitting there with his friend at a movie night of all things when an angel walked into the room. What little vision he did have gave him the notion that an ethereal being had just graced his presence. Little did he know, she'd be stuck with him for the foreseeable future after an unexpected attack. At first she was drawn to his service dog, but then it wasn't long before she couldn't keep her mind off of him. Which was good because he had no plans of ever letting her go. Sight unseen, he'd decided she was the most beautiful thing he'd ever met. He knew he had issues she didn't deserve to have to handle. She knew she had a past that he wouldn't want to deal with. But fate had other plans for the two lovers, a blind promise. Can they work through their differences, their mental health challenges, and the dangerous situations that come their way?
