I was still trying to figure out was was happening. Nothing made sense whatsoever.
"Melissa?" Leo's voice slightly cracked as his face was full down streaming with tears.
"Yes, I know it's me." She said but the way her voice sounded made me narrow my eyes at her. Her voice sounded fake and sickly sweet.
"I don't understand." Valentino sighed running a hand through his black hair that was now untamed. "I thought...we thought you were-"
"Im sorry, I really am. I just--its too hard to explain." She sighed.
"My eyes are playing with me." Kai said closing his eyes repeatedly. A chuckle left Melissa's lips as she started at all of them with love and adoration in her eyes.
I stood there not knowing what was happening nor knowing what to do.
It seemed like all of them snapped out of their daze as they all ran up to her and immediately embraced her in hugs and Leo sobbed into her.
As soon as they hugged her and her face was out of view, her whole expression changed as she looked at me with distaste and hate. Great, another person hates my gut for no reason.
Her smile quickly returned when Valentino stepped back from her. He looked at her carefully as he raised his hand and caressed her cheek delicately like if he pressed any harder she would fade away.
"Can someone tell me what's happening?" I questioned pressing my lips together.
"She came back." Leo responded with his cracked voice.
"Uh, okay. I'm leaving." I stated walking up the stairs.
I aimlessly roamed through the second floor. All I could do was make turns left and right and it felt like a never ending maze.
I stopped when I came across a door that had a paper sticked to it. The paper had my name in big letter.

I turned the knob and walked inside. There was a king sized bed that was adorned with a white silk. The pillows were placed perfectly on the bed. There were two windows on each side of the bed, that almost took the whole wall. A study desk was placed on the side of the room.
I turned around a walked to the door that was on my left. There were clothes placed neatly on the wardrobe. Different shades of colors and fabrics entered my view making me stare agape. I checked their sizes and found that there were all my size.
Huh so I guess this is what Leo was talking about.
I walked further into the closet and I found another door, I opened it and a bathroom came into my view. The theme was a white shiny marble, there was a Jacuzzi on the side and a normal shower beside it. A mirror took up all the wall on the opposite side and the sink too. I stood in front of the sink and grabbed a toothbrush in one of the cabinet.
I started brushing my teeth while looking in the mirror. I noticed my skin has gotten pale and I had bags under my eyes. I washed my mouth and walked towards my bed. I layed flat on my back while staring at the ceiling. I wish I had my phone right now.
I felt my eyes slowly close and I felt myself surrender .
☀︎︎☀︎︎☀︎︎
My eyes flew open as I felt my windpipe being closed. I saw a figure on top of me, straddling me. I felt the person press tighter against my throat. Instead of trying to pry the hands of me like any person would, I punched the person in the eye. The hold in my neck loosened and I immediately lifted my upper half, I kicked it the person of my bed and I heard a feminine groan and a thud.

What the hell?
I grabbed the dagger that Leo gave me that was in the night stand beside my bed. I lifted her by grabbing her hair and trailing her until I pinned her against the wall while having my dagger against her throat.
I carefully turned on the lights while looking at her. I checked the watch on my wrist and saw it was 4:56 in the morning. Can't even rest.
The door flew open and a very shirtless Valentino stood there with the other two behind him. His eyes trailed to me and the dagger I had on Melissa. He walked towards me and he pushed me hard. I stumbled across the room and my back landed on the closet door.
I closed my eyes and bit my lip feeling pain trail up my back.
"Are you ok?" I heard Leo ask, I was about to respond but I lifted my head and saw Leo was asking Melissa while Kai was giving me a death glare.
"No I'm not ok! She tried to kill me!" Her whiny voice was torture to my ears. She was stomping her feet on the ground like a kid.
"Are you fucking insane!?" Valentino said walking towards me and standing in front of me.
I stood up slowly, my head reached his neck and I needed to lift my head to look at him. I was about to explode by anger.
I kept a straight face while responding. "No but you're fucking friend is! She tried to kill me while I was sleeping." I pointed to the red marks on my neck, I crossed my arms over my chest thinking I won the argument.
"It was self defense, you came into my room and wanted to stab me, you bitch." Melissa argued back lying in front of my face.
My eyes widened and my mouth flew open. I felt my anger bubble inside me that wanted to be released. I lunged towards Melissa but Leo quickly grabbed me keeping me from killing her. Tears of anger started to cloud my vision.
I saw Valentino quickly grab Melissa's hand and leave my room. I felt my knees weaken and Leo slowly put me to the floor. I heard his footsteps leave the room and my door close shortly.
I heard chatters and mutters on the other side of my door.
I unknowingly clenched my fist and slowly backed out the wall and towards my bed. I layed down thinking why she was here in this exact house?
All the tiredness I felt vanished and I was wide awake not knowing what to do.

Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero (Update 09/19/21)
(Updated 09/19/21) Hello and welcome. If you made it this far and the book title sounds interesting, I'm hoping you'll read a few chapters. Here's a sample from chapter 1 of "Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero."Slowly starting to wake up, I become aware. It's like coming out of a fog.Head hurts.Body hurts.There's a conversation in the room. This isn't my bed. Someone is touching my arm. I crack my eyes to look. She doesn't notice. Is she praying for me? Her hands do feel good…do feel... Slipping back unconscious, my eyes slowly close. I didn't notice the soft green glow under Jenn’s hands.*******************"It does look like he saved them or at least stalled them long enough for us to get there." says the man dressed more like a park ranger than an officer of the law. "I did think he was part of it at first" he continues "but the evidence shows he wasn't there and they were certainly fighting on that back road where we found them""I don't care who he is." says a woman as she enters the room. "He saved and protected my Jenn. I will make sure there's not a mark or a scar on him before he leaves". As she continues the few steps over to the men speaking, even though dressed simply in common clothes, there is no doubt the race of elves is in her heritage. The grace and lines of her form. The elegance and lightness of her step. She glances at her daughter, still watching over the young man in the bed. "Do we know who he is yet?" she asks no one in particular."Not yet dear" a man in a white coat responds. A handsome middle-aged man. Fit, but not that of a fighter or ranger. "I asked Talon to bring another identification stone with him. I was hoping ours was just broke, but it's reading the same.""What do you think is wrong?" Talon asks."I'm thinking we just have to wait until he recovers. I have heard of cases where the stone didn't work. Powerful spells can hide or wipe a person clean. I doubt he's a spy or a criminal. Spells like that are just too high level if, they're used at all. My best guess is, there is just some disconnect with him being unconscious. When he wakes, we can ask him or use the stone again then."I find myself waking up in a hospital bed. The attending Doctor finds it odd that he cannot identify my class. An Officer says I’m a Hero for saving a girl from being kidnapped, but he’s asking too many questions for my liking. I know an accusing tone when I hear it. I don’t remember any of it and I need to find my way home.Author’s notes. Original work. First draft and update of chapters 1-16. Inspired by various fantasy games and books. Written with a focus on character development and interaction. Combat, progression, leveling, classes, but no numbers or stats. I’ll try to keep the language clean, PG-13, no smut. I’m in the US, writing in English. Almost fifty chapters are completed as I pen this introduction. I intend to complete this story or at least bring it to a proper ending. I have a destination in mind. I find as I write, doors and ideas open, while others close and are discarded. The tentative release schedule will be once a week. I'm new to creating. My apologies now while I learn. I have not settled on a book cover or artwork, still looking for something that fits. Registered & Protected #20VjeKDv2U6nynW6

Statless
Summary Alexander Weiss, an intelligent and slightly unusual man, always dreamt of becoming a mage. Sadly, reality is harsh and even his best efforts never allowed him to achieve his goal during his lifetime... or did they? One has to be careful what they wish for, lest they might live to see it fulfilled. Description Follow Alex, a man whose pursuit of magic could not even be stopped by his non-magical reality, going as far as to create it himself, only to encounter an unsurmountable obstacle shortly before achieving his lifes goal, denying him all access to these powers. His journey will take him through a miraculous world, full of wonders, magic and manic beasts trying to devour him! He will learn much about this world during his adventures, exploring individual aspects of the System and the various monsters that came from it... or did they? Strong points What you'll get from this novel is the following (read with overly enthusiastic salesman-voice) : • An ending! I'll complete it, no matter what. Well, not "no matter what", but as long as I don't unexpectedly end, this novel won't either! • Good grammar! Might not be perfect, but it's definitely good enough to not detract from the story in the slightest. I'll also fix any reported mistakes as soon as possible, be they grammatical, syntactical or just inconsistencies. • No plot-armor! Or plot-weapons! Or plot-... potions? And no plot-holes! If you see some, it's most likely information that is being witheld for future revelations! But in the (hopefully) very unlikely case of such a vile beast being encountered, please inform me immediately and I'll see to slaying it without grace! (Translation: If you see plot-holes, tell me and I'll fix them) • Logic! [Hidden : Spoilers][Hidden : More Spoilers] [Moved to Chapter [Hidden Spoiler]'s Author's Note] Marvelous, I know! • Blue Boxes! And maybe something more! • Sensible retroactive edits! Not to be confused with radioactive edits! You'll not have to re-read previous chapters, even if they get some major edits. If they were to receive new information, I'll add that very information to the newly released chapters too, in a reasonable way. • Realism! Shocking, I know! Especially considering the tag related to that and the point about "Logic!". This also means that the story will be... well, realistically depicting a pretty messed up world. Don't expect bunnies... at least not cute ones. • Relatively faster paced! No long and boring descriptions of irrelevant stuff. There will be some longer descriptions about important things, but that's gonna be necessary world- and/or character-building! • Short action! Might not be a plus for some, but you won't have to look at a whole (or, god forbit, multiple) chapter describing a fight against the same enemy... • Strategy and hard progression! It's a dog-eat-dog world! No grinding/power-creep! If you're up against three enemies of your level at once, you've already lost! • Understanding! It will be mostly about discovering the wonders of this new world and how it became like that, all while trying to survive. So there will be enough action nonetheless! • Humor! Sometimes dark, sometimes light, always at the worst moment! • Constructive critics, welcome! Destructive critics, nope... I can handle criticism though, so don't go easy on me! Just make sure it's really a mistake when complaining about something. • Will add more in the future! If I can think of more stuff...
