《Virtual World: Sphere - Game On: For Life》Chapter one, fourth part
Advertisement
The bar, situated at the beach in Pirates Bay, was a "Brawler Bar" and not for the faint heartet. It was listed as a "push-zone" and it was legal to push other characters or inventory. It was all you could do, though. Push. Not break or do damage. These zones were relatively new zones, added to the gigantic map of Sphere. Other zones were safe zones. You could walk right thru another character. You could pick up an item and you could swing it. It would hit something and then nothing. Just like hitting a brickwall with a stick.These new zones were crowded, everybody wanted to try them out. And sure enough. Inside the bar, two characters were engaged in a sabre duel. One player wanted to be "authentic" and wore a wodden leg. The other one not quite as enthusiastic. No harm was done. The wooden legged pirate was lucky and had a good undeflected swing at the other. The one who was hit only moved a foot or two, to the side. Then they were at it again. It was a shame that the decor of the bar wasnt that fantastic. The usual outlay of bars in Sphere, only added a barrel or two, draped in fishing net. On the other hand, most users who frequented this particular bar these days, didn't care much for decorations. It was the mechanics of the "push-zone" that made their heart race.
A table, not in the corner and not in front row, was occupied by two ladies. The younger one with purple hair wildly ejecting from her skull. The mature one with an asymetric cut, that suited her face well. They both wore clothes of good taste, according their age and level of renegade blood running in their bodies. Four males approached the table, more or less images of each other. They went with biker outfits, not really suited for a pirates bar. On the other hand, they believed themself to be as outcasted as would they have been pirates. One was a bit taller, wider, heavier than the other bikers. He stood in front of the group, an inch away from the table.

- "Roses are red, eyes be black, both you Dikes, get the F out of here", the large male said.
- "How cute", the purple headed one said, "the barbershop boys are serenading us"
-"We'll serenade you with alright and then you'll be turned straight, no question about that". The males laughed.
-"Oh, I don't know about that. Don't you have to have some kind of real penis to be able to do that?", said the purple headed. The mature one let out a quiet sigh.
The young girl leaped from her sitting position into a standing one, in one fluid move. The other ones there, were amazed by this unseen move in Sphere. Then followed an unpretty performance of flailing limbs and a leg and it was as dumb as it sounds. All five characters pushed each other around and since a hit wasn't a hit, merely a one foot push, noone were able to follow up on their insults. As if they had made a silent agreement, all five found a chair and sat, the purple headed next to the mature one, just as before. Other people pushed their tables to where they belonged and soon it all looked as before, apart from four males and a female, trying to catch their breath. At that exact moment, the door opened and St1nt, followed by Tirpze, walked into the bar.

A Sinner's Eden
The Earth of the future is united under a single government, but not all things are well. The shape of the playing field may be changed, but the powerful still rule the weak.And those who do not conform with the rest of society are exiled to another world. A world that not even the technology of the future managed to tame.It should have been humanity's New World but ended up as nothing more than a penal colony. A place where the exiled are sent to die. Motivated by revenge, Magnus sets out on a quest to bring his own justice to his enemies. For that purpose, he is willing to go further than most others.But then he learns that if he truly wishes to change things, he can only find his answers beyond the gate. Having lived most of her life as an exile, Astra is a woman of few interests aside from survival and climbing the ranks of her clan.To achieve those goals, she certainly won't be squeamish when a chance literally falls into her lap, or will she? ——————————————————————————————— I am trying to go with a survival/medieval setting in this one. People from a technologically advanced society are thrown into a world where they can't maintain their tech. They are forced to rely on medieval technology where they have to make do with the limited resources they have and what little of their old technology is still working. Their gene manipulation allows them to have something akin to superpowers, but that doesn't help much against the monsters of their new world. Not sure yet whether sufficiently advanced technology will be discovered later on to count as magic. ——————————————————————————————— Author's Comment: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently, I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur)

The London Phantom: A Superhero Webnovel
London is an old city. It has survived floods, fires, plagues and the man-made smog of industry. It has stood firm against the armies of Vikings, Saxons, Normans and the aerial might of the Luftwaffe. It has borne witness to dynsatic feuds, civil wars, military occupation and the sin of regicide. Through all these disasters the city has survived not through force of arms, though its walls were once the envy of the world, but through adapting to the times. Enemies become dependant on the city, and the wealth of the world that flows through it, and so become new allies. If the rulers change, then the city welcomes them with open arms, and open lines of credit. In this way the city seeks to preserve its ancient rights and position of power. Superheroes are a new phenomenon. The first superpowered man walked out of the Nevada desert in 1950, and the world was forever changed. Across the planet, men and women with exceptional abilities made themselves known. At first, they were little more than another source of fear in the era of Mutually Assured Destruction, but over time attitudes changed and the concept of the Superhero was created in the city of Los Angeles. From there the phenomenon spread across the globe; superheroes went from being feared arms of the state to a symbol of hope in these maddening times. Times have changed. Sixty years from the emergence of the first superhero, the City of London stands on a precipice. Two years have passed since the madman Fawkes nearly brought down the United Kingdom and the remnants of the Bow Street Runners, London's premier superhero team, are struggling to keep order in a city that seems on the brink of collapse. London stands on a knife's edge, with criminal organisations that once stuck to the shadows becoming more bold, and ancient powers from myth and legend making themselves known. Alexander Laszewski has recently 'awakened' and has become entirely unremakable, effectively making himself invisible to the world. He must use his newfound power to navigate a city on the edge of collapse. If only he could figure out how to turn it off.
