Unity
There was no way to know my office romance would turn into a world-wide adventure to help save humanity with billions of dollars in giveaways to ordinary people during the Early Virus Years. My name is Crystal Jones. I used to make money as a digital ad exec. A lot of money. Through my secret love affair, I was hired by a secret club of billionaires just as The Virus began spreading. It was my job to *give away* billions of dollars Americans who deserved it. To altruistic people. It worked so well, the Unity Campaign went global. We were American Ambassadors of Altruistic Capitalism. It was when people started dropping into spontaneous comas that I finally realized: humanity cannot survive without unity. Money giveaways are simply goodwill tools. Now I'm on a remote island in the Philippines with some people from my Unity team - including two billionaires. I want to tell you the back story of the Unity Campaign. Not all billionaires are bad, and some stories don't have tidy endings -- but they can still give us hope.Complete

Rich Kids
Yes, it is sad... I am not prone to drama like the rest of you. Our lives are encompassed with monotonous events, the usual really: eat, sleep, work, repeat. But honestly, am I complaining? I can, I could have... But the question remains, do I even have the energy to spark up a fire? We could be flowers, adorning ourselves to appear more attractive for the bees' ocellus. Or glow brighter than the sun to entice. But why go through all that hustle when we can just live through the eyes of another? Seems simpler enough anyway. Suck the adrenaline rush of the stunners. The ones that even with just a sneeze, the entire earth would shake, sprinting towards them. Their being, the forbidden tree, strutting at the centre of the Garden of Eden. Their souls, Magnetite. We could attempt. But I do not want to. I try as much as possible to stay away from the disease. As thrilling as it may be: he who will swallow the apple seed must consider the size of his stomach. So why spend a thousand back-breaking years thereafter mopping up the residue? Have the moles drag down your name into the pits with them. Surely, we are not that desperate, are we? Never eye the wife of thy neighbour in fear that she just might be a white fowl with beautiful feathers. So why can I not just stay in my lane? Why can't we? So join in, enter my mind and live out your most exciting reality through the eyes of others. Read it, watch it, envision it. Better than allowing life to feed us up with a spoon of chaos, attracting a series of tornadoes into our mundane worlds. And maybe, we might just fall in love.
Book One: The Era of Change
Imagine, if thirty people - that's an entire class - were suddenly flung through the space-time continuum and pulled into a whole new world. A world which had previously existed behind a giant screen and as ink on paper. A world of ninja and mighty beasts made of chakra. Thirty people. Surely, this amount of people would send the entire story out of sequence and completely destroy the plot. The amount of change would be unfathomable. No? But...as our resident fatalist Neji Hyuga would say - not all people are destined to lead. Some must follow, others are simply pieces to be used. Four kunoichi have returned to Konoha, their only weapon in the ninja world being their knowledge. As they strive to master the ancient arts and understand the secrets of Ninshu, they also manage to find themselves in many a hilariously awkward situation whilst trying to integrate into the village that is Konohagakure no Sato. --- - We are all destined to live through an era of change. Whether you choose to be a part of that change or to stay in the shit it leaves behind is your choice - ---Complete
