In 2035, society thrives on technological advancements and a shift toward creativity and leisure. With AI-driven robotics automating labor, people pursue art, science, and personal fulfillment. The world blends American minimalism with Japanese elegance, its clean streets and neon-lit skylines humming with progress. Yet, amidst this near-utopia, one man feels left behind.
Jace Calder, 33, drifts through life without direction. A loner working at a robot-run noodle shop, Jace dreams of adventure and making a name for himself. He longs to be admired and loved but remains stuck in monotony. His life takes a turn when he learns about Eternium-a revolutionary virtual reality game like nothing the world has seen.
Accessible only during sleep, Eternium redefines reality. Nine hours of sleep equals 30 days in-game, where players explore a vibrant, player-driven universe free to create, connect, and conquer. While logged in, they exist in their peak physical form, unburdened by real-world limitations. Eternium offers not just escape but the chance to reinvent oneself.
Drawn by its promise, Jace invests his savings into joining the game's digital revolution. With the help of his famous and confident friend Mason Tanaka, Jace prepares to enter a world where he hopes to finally become someone. But recognition isn't as easy as he imagines.
Within Eternium, players shape the game's evolution. The central hub world changes through NPC influence, while portals lead to limitless player-made realms. As Jace navigates this universe, he uncovers a deeper mystery about Eternium's enigmatic creator, its purpose, and its impact on a world increasingly reliant on escapism.
Eternium 30 Days is the precursor to the events of Eternium, exploring the origins of a world that would change lives forever. It's a story of transformation, ambition, and the blurred lines between reality and fantasy, set in a world where nine hours of sleep could change everything.

Single Father's Guide to Monster Hunting
"Daddy, please don't turn off the lights. The monsters will find me." Ana pleaded as she pulled the covers up to her nose. "Don't worry, Ana. There's no such thing as monsters." Frank answered before flexing dramatically, earning a giggle from her, "Besides, if they tried to hurt you, I'd just beat 'em up!" "Promise?" "Promise." He kissed her forehead before he tucked her in and turned off the light. "Goodnight, angel." --- The world changed overnight. A mysterious system appeared in everyone's minds announcing the detection of a "Breach." Monsters unlike anything humanity had ever seen before began to emerge, immediately ending one-third of the world's population. And that was just in the beginning. Every father wants to be their daughter's hero. It's an unspoken rule written into every man's DNA. But most fathers aren't pitted up against eight legged abominations. Frank was just an ordinary man; no training, no experience, just depression and a four year old. Yet, he was all that stood between Ana and certain death. If that's the way it was, then he couldn't back down. He made a promise, and he would keep it or die trying. Luckily, the world wasn't entirely merciless. This "System" granted humanity a fighting chance: otherworldly gifts and powers that defied the laws of nature. While Frank's gift wasn't all sunshine and rainbows, it did give him power. Power enough to hopefully keep his daughter safe, and punish the monsters that dared threaten her in the first place!

Don't Worry
The Lifehold was safe and secure in NLA. The Ganglion hierarchy was crippled, leaving the former regime in shambles. And for once in their time since they crashed on Mira, humanity finally feels at peace. But the work was not yet over. Not for BLADE. And certainly not for Cross. Called into Blade Tower by Nagi personally, Cross is officially ranking up and becoming the leader of his own team, one of Blades first ever multi-division units. Now the leader of the currently empty Team Cross, he has a team to form, and he has no clue where to even start. ... I wanted to write this because of the recent WiiU online server shutdown. There are lots of games that got hit hard by this, and one of them is one of my all time favourite games, Xenoblade Chronicles X. The only Xenoblade game with online functionality. I remember being a little 9 or 10 year old kid running home after school as fast as I can so I can plop down and play on my Wii U, and 9 times out of ten, it was for Xenoblade X. I had no clue what I was doing, but the game instantly hooked me when I saw the giant robot on the front cover. I had so much fun with the game back in 2015-2019, when my Wii U broke, and I still remember how upset I was when it wouldn't turn on no matter how much I tried. Eventually, just a few months ago, I got Cemu working in my computer, and the first thing I did was get Xenoblade X on there, and when I started the game again, it was like I was a little 9 year old kid again. The game is so special to me, and I was so saddened when I learned the servers shut down. So, I want to make a little something for the game. Just to show how much I love the game and its characters, and how much I want to see it one day continue on a new console. So, to any other Xenoblade X fans out there, I hope you enjoy this, and if you don't know anything about the game, I truly recommend looking into it, it's such an awesome experience for any JRPG enjoyer.
The Hawaiian Special Forces
This is the story I'm writing for NaNoWriMo 2015. The goal: 50,000 word RAW draft written entirely in the month of November. Unlike most of my stories, which I prefer to edit before posting, I'm actually going to post updates to this at the end of each day in chapter-sized chunks. The idea behind this story is that a terrorist attack in the near future causes the US to go hyper-isolationist, to the point that it abandons Hawaii and Alaska to fend for themselves. They do, forming the United Pacific States (maybe with a few other island countries). Hawaii then goes on to turn itself into the new world police with stealthy, genetically modified cyber-soldiers. I'm marking this story as mature because there will be action scenes, and probably some interesting perspectives on nudity and relationships. I'm not planning on anything explicit, but this won't be a kids book. Validated winner at 50,040 words!Complete
