Marcy blinked the messages away. As the messages faded and black enveloped Marcy she muttered, “No one better of taken my name yet!” Before anything else came up she shouted into the void, “My name is Tittia!” A few seconds passed before a prompt appeared.
Welcome Tittia!
Now enter in your last name.
Marcy smiled then without thinking said, “My last name is turncoat.”
Confirm your name
Tittia Turncoat
Yes / No
Marcy nodded, but did not answer right away. After a moment she spoke rapidly, “Yes. My alias is Myst” A Prompt appeared.
Alias Confirmed.
The darkness swirled around Marcy for a moment before solidifying into a round room full of mirrors. Marcy smiled, “Oh goody! Do I get to buy clothes now?” Even joking she quickly looked in the mirrors to find the one she was searching for. After reaching out and touching one she stepped back over to the large center mirror. Marcy stripped out of her clothes and put the starting gear in her new backpack. Looking at herself naked in the mirror she muttered, “Okay let’s see.” Marcy was still short, just under 4’9, but as her current race choice of Wild Elf, her pale skin had darkened and tanned to a degree that would make the most faithful beech beauty jealous. Her too skinny frame had also fleshed out a little, giving her slightly larger breasts and curvier figure. Marcy laughed to herself, “Most girls lose their figures playing as an elf, but I gain one” The most striking changes though were to her hair and eyes. Her long blond hair was now a dark honey brown, and her pale blue eyes were a stunning emerald green with a thin purple ring before the whites. Marcy twirled around looking at herself then approached the mirror, “Okay let’s see here. I need to be taller I think, and I would like more boobs.” She touched the mirror and then paused, then touched it again. “What the fuck? She knocked on the mirror, “Hey stupid thing I want to change my appearance!” She knocked on the mirror, then punched it, and then began to kick it repeatedly.After raging against the mirror she tried to see if there was an issue with the Wild Elf by choosing another race. Nothing allowed her to alter her appearance further than the basic racial changes. “This is fucking stupid!” first my toon is deleted and now I can’t even change this fucking face! Some game this is.” She flared at the mirror, then snarled, “You know what fuck it!” Sitting down she began to braid her long hair.

Half an hour later she had her thick main of hair tamed into a tight braid. Reaching into her backpack she pulled out her knifed and smiled at the mirror. “I’ll fucking look different even if you don’t let me change it the easy way.” With that she began to saw through her lovely locks. Half an hour passed before Marcy stood up. Her long hair was laying in its braid on the floor. Now a uneven short mop of honey brown hair sat atop her head. Looking it over Marcy turned each way sawed through a couple more strands then smiled. “Fuck you” she told the mirror. Picking up her backpack she walked through the door.

When the room appeared Marcy was already moving. She ran to the left and quickly saw the beam leading over the chasm. Not even slowing her pace she ran over the beam, relying on her new Agility to master the balancing. On the other side she started searching for the key, “Okay you little turd, where are you? HA!” She ran to the first spawn spot and found the small key laying there. Picking it up she ran back across the beam, heading to the cage. When she reached it the wall was just starting to heat up. The Orphan inside looked up at her, “Please help!” it begged. “Oh shut up” Marcy snarled. She inserted the key in the lock and it popped open with a quick turn. “Out now!” “oh thank you!, the little Wild Elf Girl exclaimed. The child ran over to give Marcy a hug, but she pushed the brat away and turned back toward the beam. She again ran across, but paused on the other side to glare at the small child, who was creeping across the narrow beam at a slow pace. “Oh for gods sake” marcy muttered but she did so quietly. She hahd snapped outloud before and startled the child. That always ended with eh kid freaking out and falling off the beam to splat in a bloody mess far below. Marcy had her hand on her hips and was tapping her foot impatiently when the orphan reached the other side. “About damn time. I hahte kids, and if I didn’t get coins and experience for rescuing you I would leave you in that damn cage to fry.” The young girl turned wide terrified eyes on Marcy, but the women had already turned and started walking toward the door. Placing he key in the lock she turned it and pushed the trembling child through before her.

Stranger Than Fiction
Lukas Aguilar does not believe in gods. Goddess Inanna does not believe in him. The earthquake struck first. The darkness quickly followed.

[You are in the Crypt of Fiendish Worms.] In the place he’s woken up to, the world is not the same one he remembers. Magic is real, as are monsters. As are gods. Stuck between the whispers of an utterly unapologetic deity and the remnant of his destroyed world, Lukas finds himself in a perpetual struggle to survive, when all he wants is to go home. Is this world real, or a dream? And even if it is, can Lukas find his way home? What is this impossible quest that the deity insists on foisting onto his aching shoulders?

Forbidden Destiny
Two troubled teens, raised as siblings, try fighting their attraction to one another, while struggling to uncover the truly unexplainable and unimaginable reasons why their entire lives were a lie. Sky and Star were raised as brother and sister. As they got older they began to realize that there was much about them that was completely unexplainable and deliberately being hidden from them. Struggling with the feelings they were raised to believe they shouldn't have for one another, and all the pain that causes them, the two search desperately to uncover the truth about who... or what they really are. (This book is completed, so the plan was to post 1 chapter each day until the end) *This story does deal with difficult issues such as suicide, abuse and rape. Though I try to do so in the most realistic, sensitive and sympathetic way possible. So be advised that these themes are included in the book. And I hope you'll give it a chance nonetheless.* *Yet another disclaimer: Yes, there are teenagers involved in consensual sexual relationships with other teenagers in this book. Which is also a more than common occurence in hundreds of other books, shows and films, (not to mention a common occurence in real life, even though this is a fantasy story with characters who may or may not even be fully human), so if you have a problem with troubled teens behaving like troubled teens, then you probably shouldn't read this book.*

Zero Views: Short Stories
I get it. No one cares about Short Stories. That doesnt Mean that I don't want to post the crap I write when I do a writing prompt. Or the good stuff that I write when I do a writing prompt. You know. Cover all the bases. I'm starting off with a backlog of different stories that I've written over the years. Kick back, and read the words I put on virtual paper. Why not?

Midthalion Saga
+++Working on new chapters. Share what I've posted with your friends and family! Be sure to build strong bonds with those who are important to you. We only have each other in this world for so long!+++ Can Roderick XXIII gather together and train a party of adventurers to clear out Madeon Caves and bring peace to the wildmarches of Midthalion? Sent from his home monastery in the west to the wildmarches of Midthalion, Roderick the Holy Avenger is devoted to living out his oath to bring the Holy Light to the dark corners of the world. He enlists the help of an old friend, Ulrich Vogelbrandt the dwarf druid, to train and prepare a fighting force capable of defending the west from the evil they both see gathering and growing in the east. Eoroth is an ode to Tolkienesque epic fantasy, Robert E Howard and H.P. Lovecraft's pulp fiction, and Gygaxian Dungeons & Dragons. I like to write about serious topics because I think it's fun. I hope it makes for a fun read. Place: Eoroth, a vast, flat world with many continents set in oceans that reach out and mingle with the Celestial Sea. Our story takes place on the continent of Thalion in the middle, unsettled region called Midthalion. Peoples: Races in Eoroth aren't different species; the species of man is just incredibly diverse, consisting of many known races (and perhaps some unknown). There are no humans in Thalion. Thalion's races include variations of elves, dwarves, halflings (billowits), pierros (clownish men), bergeracs (long-nosed and swarthy men of honour), orcs, trolls, goblins, and hobgobs. The Church: There's one dominant religion in Westhalion. The faith of the elves is an analogue to Roman Catholicism while the dwarves practice an Eastern Orthodox analogue. (Forgive me for not having figured out names yet.) The practitioners worship a triune god (the All-Father, Son-of-All, and Holy Light). There are many powers in heaven, all created by God. These include the Twelve High Thrones, individual, created beings who take on the role of guiding mankind in different aspects, drawing them closer and closer to God. (That should be the essentials. I could write pages on the theology. Comment where something's unclear in the story.) Natural World: There are plants and animals in Eoroth, but the world is also inhabited by spirits called aeons. Aeons are transformative beings; in the wild, they'll change based on whatever is happening nearby. Pollute a pond? Expect to see toxic toad-men running around. Leave a bunch of dead bodies strewn across a battlefield? Expect the place to become haunted with ghouls and ghasts. Druids are important for making sure that the aeons are pacified; that their needs are met so that they don't become rampaging monsters. Where the wilderness becomes overgrown, so too do the aeons. Aeons and People: Long ago, men learned how to trap aeons in stone tablets and use them for war. Now, anyone can capture an aeon into a special staff made by a druid. Men train, raise, and bond with these aeons. Druids often build entire ranches devoted to raising healthy aeons as allies and companions. Aeons are divided into twelve known families, and the church sees these as corresponding with the Twelve Thrones in Heaven. Direction: My goal is to get the story to one million words by June next year. I have tons of content in mind for the world. I want to release novels set in different ages of the world depicting different historical events. I hope to expand the setting into a tabletop role-playing game as well as a series of old-school JRPGs. But, it all begins with writing some stories and publishing my novels.
