You press the button.
Ding.
The walls are back to their nice, normal concrete selves.
There’s an old TV set sitting on the floor. One of those giant antique things, made before colors were invented.
Go ahead, turn it on.
No, it isn’t connected to anything, There aren’t any electrical outlets in here.
You turn it on anyways.
To your mild surprise, it turns on. A horrible sound quality blairs out a Captain Crunch commercial from the 60’s.
You take a seat, watching the commercial. After that comes another commercial.
And another.
And yet another.
You start to wonder if it’ll ever get to the show.
By the time you decide that this is the All-Commercial Channel I’ve had time to finish my pizza. Thank you.
You try to change the channel.
There are only three working channels, spread out between a grand total of twelve possible channels.
The working channels all show the same thing.
After watching for half an hour, getting thoroughly bored, it shows the Captain Crunch commercial again.
Yep! This is all it is!
Realizing you’ve just wasted half an hour of your very valuable time, you become frustrated with the tv. You glare at it for a few seconds, then get up.
You carefully judge the height of the tv, positioning yourself. Then, putting all your kung-fu movie knowledge into practice, you lift your knee and kick the screen.
It shatters, sparks flying everywhere. It’s quite impressive, and would have been even more impressive if your foot hadn’t gotten stuck.
The sound quality is now exceptionally bad, and I’m laughing my ass off.
You hop in place for a few seconds, trying to dislodge your foot. It- it’s great. You look so ridiculous.
Eventually you manage to free your foot, and step closer to inspect the damage.
The screen is very broken. There’s a foot-sized hole in the middle. It’s still sparking slightly, so I’d recommend not touching it.
You aren’t harmed, though. It’s a miracle you didn’t cut yourself, what with all the glass everywhere.
You step away, pleased with yourself.
Oh if only you had a sledgehammer…

They Shall Call Me EMPRESS (Cultivation Tales of an Isekai'ed Life Coach)
Meet Lynn Lee: yoga instructor, personal trainer, life coach, and smoothie enthusiast... Not a mystical martial artist. Lynn is nobody special, and yet she awakens to find herself in somebody else's body in a merciless medieval world of martial arts cultivators and superhuman muscle wizards.

The only question is... will Lynn survive long enough to take advantage of it? They Shall Call Me EMPRESS is my quirky take on the cultivation novel, a story of a fitness enthusiast Cali girl transported into a realm of immortal warriors and trying to survive... and maybe even thrive beyond her wildest imagination. Chapter updates on Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday. Plus, sometimes I accidentally upload chapters on Tuesdays, which will either stand in for the Wednesday chapter or be a weekly bonus chapter. It is a mystery! Please also check out my other novel, The Shadows Become Her

A loose thread
The goddess picked him up. He tried to struggle free, but her grip only tightened. Eventually her thumb caught his head, pulling it backwards. He stared helplessly as she brought her free hand closer, revealing a small vial in her massive hand. She pressed it to his lips, and he felt the contents flow into him. He tried not to drink it, but his body would not listen. Despite his revulsion, his body ignored him by drinking deeply. "Drink and forget. I will give you everything you ever wanted. A loving family. A comfortable home. And then, " Her grip tightened, and forcing the air out his lungs. He coughed up the strange liquid and caused more to spill. “And then, you will pay for your defiance. On your twentieth birthday you will remember.” She pulled the vial away and turned him to look at her. “You will remember, just as everything you love is taken from you, right before your eyes…” Her voice trailed off and his world went dark. .... The above leads right into the story. The first chapter is a bit rough as the MC (a child at the time), hurts himself rather badly. I will try to include similar warnings on chapters as the story goes on, but I want to be up front that I may miss or forget things. Many of the tags are included so I can have flexibility writing the story. I am posting this largely to hold myself accountable to keep writing. Chapters will be short, but I am planning to post weekly. This is the first thing I have written (you've been warned). I am enjoying the story and I hope you will too. Please feel free to let me know what you think of the story as it progresses.

A Requiem For The End
Yuga wakes up on a cold, frigid land entirely covered in snow. Where was he? Who was he? Neither of these could he remember but he didn't have time to think of it, he could tell danger wasn't far. A quick death if he failed to avoid it. It was fast approaching and much as he tried to escape, it quickly caught up with him. Luckily he had survived, but was he just lucky or was there something more to him.....? A Requiem For The End is a fantasy story set in a world.......well, quite different from most stories you might have seen (I honestly don't know how to better describe it). Early into the story (prologue) the world feels elusive because you slowly learn about it through the eyes of Yuga. As you read on questions may arise in your mind and mysteries will present themselves. The answers to them will come the further you read. I'd like to think the plot is a bit larger than the average and same goes for the world building. If you find this story intriguing then all I can say is - There's a lot for me to tell, hop on?
