(Plot is under development and may be subject to change)
Gary Miller is just your average man. Can barely afford the nicer luxuries in life without creating another open tab on his ever growing credit-card debt, works in a local supermarket as a floor-supervisor for a wage of peanuts and isolates himself every evening in front of the television or computer; mindlessly numbing his existence - an existence that would soon be snatched from his grasp on reality, quite literally.
Aimlessly thrown into a world of torment and decay, Gary must seek to find the truth to his untimely death and grow to learn how to adapt to his new surroundings; some call it purgatory, others call it the afterlife, but most of the long-term residents call it Niothera.

Rimelion: The Exploiter
What is reality? I was John-now Charlie, a woman with a VR game tester's cunning and a professional whiskey enthusiast's attitude. But then AIs have risen, and my job evaporated faster than last night's drink. Just when I hit rock bottom, this punk kid-barely old enough to shave-dropped a bombshell: "Reality's just a simulation." Sure, buddy. I laughed it off. Until I woke up twenty years in the past. Now, thanks to a hacking mishap, I'm a regular girl in reality-with a debt and an attitude-navigating Rimelion, the VR game I once mastered, as Charlie, an elven priestess with more than a few tricks up her sleeve. Seriously though, fighting in high heels? Will I claw my way up the nobility ladder? Dominate the rankings? Outwit the government and their plans to exploit us all? Maybe. But something's off. The game feels too real. My memories don't line up, and everyone has their own version of what's true. Simulation? Reality? The lines are a blur-and I'm stuck in the middle. If I want to stop a dystopian future, I'll need allies, both in-game and out. Oh, and avoid ticking off the AIs hunting me for bending the rules. Survival's a long shot-but I was never one to play fair anyway. *** What to expect: - Light LitRPG story with an emphasis on strategy and world-building - First-person perspective (and occasional close third POVs) - A witty protagonist with a conversational sarcastic, humorous and often self-deprecating voice - A sci-fi world with mysteries sprinkled with fantasy elements - A rich game world system with kingdoms, rules, exploits, and challenges - Supporting characters with personal goals Schedule: * Posting on RoyalRoad and Scribblehub, here after bulk is done

"It didn't have to be this way"
There is a world out there where I could have been happy. Where we could have been friends, and you could have benefited from what I know. Unfortunately, we don't live there. This is not a romance novel. Do not think this is a romance. Not all mobile devices will be able to show all the text accurately, as I use fonts as a conveyer of mental health. Warning Every warning you can think of. There will be gore rape torture and what is worse. Also, I make stories by writing the story plot and everything, and rewriting it to fit in the small details. The chapters all the final ones but the story itself has been finished.
Woven By Death
In the twisted realm of **Nirweave**, Kartik wakes up with no memories of his past-only the painful knowledge that death is never the end. Every time he dies, he is reborn, not as the same man but subtly changed, carrying the scars of his past attempts and the growing burden of his failures. The world of Nirweave is unforgiving, filled with powerful beings, cunning enemies, and ancient secrets. Kartik must learn, adapt, and manipulate his way through this ever-shifting labyrinth, turning foes into allies and leveraging every death to uncover the truth behind his existence. Armed with a mind sharper than any blade and an unwavering determination, Kartik ventures through kingdoms and shadows, facing impossible odds. But with each rebirth, he inches closer to unraveling the sinister force behind Nirweave, discovering that the abilities granted to him are more of a curse than a blessing. As alliances are forged and broken, love blooms amidst despair, and a dark conspiracy unravels, Kartik will learn that survival isn't enough-he must rise above and control his own fate. In a world where every move is a gamble and every life has a cost, Kartik's journey is one of suffering, brilliance, and resilience. **Nirweave** demands everything from those trapped within it. Will Kartik master the game, or will it consume him whole? A story of manipulation, strategy, and the struggle for freedom awaits. How far can one man go when the stakes are his very soul?

Lie To Me.
I don't know who I am. I have clues but it's only bits and pieces. I have a name, or at least I've been given one. I have a life, it's not necessarily worth living, but I'm alive. I have a story but I don't think there's a point in sharing. Yet here we are. *Triggering content*Complete

"How can Cupid... how could you be so cruel?" I curse lowly. Who could have imagined something like this happening to me? It had been so long since everything happened, but somehow the pain in my heart never left. The memories starts to flashback into my mind as I start to process what is happening in front of me, and why my past heartbreaks are all gathered at the same place. Nightmare, my childhood friend and first love. My first ever heartbreak. I tend to find him in everyone I have loved. He was cold and unpredictable but he was also warm and considerate at times... He was complicated but I loved all of him. Error, the one I chased over and one I was not willing to give up. He stood up from the rest and gave color to my world. All my poems were dedicated to him and him alone. Dust, possibly my other half. He felt like my soulmate. Everything about him made me feel like we were meant for each other. We shared the same interests about everything but I was wrong about one thing. We didn't share the same feelings. His heart belonged to my best friend. Killer, a flirty guy who people often rumored as the playboy. Most girls had fallen in love with his charm and personality. I was one of those unfortunate ones who fell right into his trap. But I... I saw something in him that other people couldn't see; there was something beneath those sweet grins. Horror. My comfort. My home. The one who filled the gap. The one who I think of every little nice thing. I love him so much to the point where I feel like the pain that would come with it would be worse than death. It had to be avoided. Cross. I was always drawn into him. He was my best-est friend. The one who I can count on everytime. The shoulder I can lean to when needed. The one who made me feel like I am the best thing that ever happened in his life. He was perfect while I am just... me. So why did I have to see them again? Why now? Love is not something I want to go through again... never again. <\3
