《Mother's Basement Studios》Traumatic First Experience (Pt. 1)
Advertisement
[Uh, h-hello? Is this, um, thing on? I think it’s working…Sorry if my voice is annoying; I don’t normally...talk…
Um, anyway, my name is L-er, the Librarian, I guess? I was told I had to come up with a username by myself so that’s what I came up with. I like libraries so I-wait, I’m rambling, sorry. Um, so, f-for my first clip - or, I guess, video? But it’s really short, so - nevermind.
I-I’m going to be creating my character right now.]
The Librarian moves a transparent blue hand to the big red plus button blinking on the screen in front of her. She clicks it with her index finger, squeaking when a much larger hand appears out of nowhere and grabs her.
It easily scoops her ghostlike body up and deposits her in a dimly lit room. She tumbles out of its palm ungracefully, hurting her bum on the hard stone floor.
[Ouch! That’s a bit too realistic…]
The girl gets to her feet and looks around. The camera pans back and forth slowly as she takes in the sight. Torches flickered in their sconces, tossing wavering shadows across the floor. An ominous tune plays as any icy breeze brushes up against her ghost legs. She shivers, shuffling as the wind tickles her calves.
[Creepy. Halloween’s been over for, like, two weeks…]
Shaking her head, the Librarian faced the front of the room where two Medieval-esque doors stood before her. Both had crudely drawn pictures of a man and a woman on them.
[Oh, wow. That’s, um, kinda cool, how they didn’t just, like, make you click buttons and stuff…]
She hesitated before going through the door with a woman on it. The door opened to reveal a raging battlefield. She shrieked as a cannon boomed in the distance and quickly spun around to retreat, but the door was gone. In its place stood a small battalion of giants armed with spiked clubs.

A cannonball flew high over her head, plunging into the bare-chested leader of the titanic armor. Much to the Librarian’s horror, the monster shrugged it off and kept stomping forward. It glowered down at her, pointing its weapon at her as if suggesting a challenge.
[Oh my gosh! Ohmygosh, ohmygosh, ohmygosh!]
She turned and started sprinting away from the giants. Unfortunately, that led her toward the middle of the battlefield, where dark-skinned humans in scaly armor with spears clashed against short and stocky metal men with guns. She watched in horror as one metal man lifted his rifle and headshot a human warrior only for a woman to leap over the fallen body of her comrade and plunge her glowing spear into the metal man’s chest. The woman kicked the body oozing a dark, viscous substance off of her spear, and turned to face her. She lifted her spear beckoningly, calling her to come to join them.
The Librarian shook her head and ran past her.
[Gosh, this is all so freaky. I would’ve preferred a normal character creation to this!]
She didn’t get very far before a two-fat-tall elf popped up out of the ground, shouting, “Lux causa satani!”
[WHAT THE FRICK!]
But the resulting magical explosion passed straight through her, hitting its intended target: a mushroom with arms standing a head shorter than her. It screeched as its cap caught fire, the swords and muskets floating in the air above it dropping unceremoniously to the torn up dirt. She gagged as the smell of a burning mushroom flooded her nostrils, the toxic fumes choking her. Stumbling away from the cackling elf, she ran towards the only group on the field that didn’t look completely horrifying: a band of poorly dressed green men clutching primitive spears.

They stood in a lopsided circle, protecting three very pregnant green women wielding crudely constructed short bows. They all paused when they saw her charging desperately toward them.
“Help me!” she screamed at them.
The green men shuffled to the side, letting her enter the oval of protection. When she stopped to take a breath, the world around her suddenly froze. The battle came to a halt as the armies all turned as one to look at the Librarian and her party of green folk.
[I have a really, really bad feeling about this…]
The green men suddenly shifted in formation, forming two crooked lines of spearmen facing the frozen enemy. The women nocked stone arrows, aiming precariously above the heads of the men.
“What do?” one of the men said in a gruff yet strangely high-pitched voice.
“Um…” The Librarian surveyed the still armies with apprehension, her ghostly hands clenching and unclenching. “Run?”
Without a second thought, the goblins turned tail and ran, leaving their weapons behind. The combined armies charged, crossing the distance disturbingly fast. The transparent girl cowered, frozen as the woman from before raised her spear to throw it at her. Right before it pierced her chest, the Librarian was whisked away by the hand.
PART ONE OF THREE END. TO BE CONTINUED IN PART TWO.

Dungeon of Night
Eden is at peace. The kingdoms and races will have the odd skirmish, and occasionally there will be an outbreak of a particularly dangerous monster that hunters would have to face, but largely Eden was in a time of tranquility. On the surface. In reality the kingdoms were each looking for something to give them the winning edge over their neighbors, many secretive groups hatched plots and schemes in search of power, and the number of deadly monsters grew with every year. In this time of false peace a strange dungeon is born, one that could potentially change Eden forever. But more importantly the birth of this new dungeon could shatter the façade of peace that has held sway over Eden for the past three hundred years. On Hold Random Releases

Legend of the Seven
Humans were cast out of Eden for committing the original sin. Now Seven will answer, should Humanity live forever? But first, join Team Six in their rescue mission turned daring prison break from death. Author's Corner: Welcome to the Legend of the Seven series #LOTSseries, my Guardians.This is my first novel turned webnovel. I'm returning to this fictional world after a 6-year hiatus with a lot of personal growth and insight. Insights gained from being a lifetime reader.I was the kid who read Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. I was the new adult who read I Shall Seal the Heavens and Ark. I've lost count of how many fictional worlds I've visited and lived through for I grew up on western novels but discovered eastern novels in my college years. This is my attempt to marry those two literary styles.It's my hope that this journey becomes more than just a book. If you're reading this simply expecting an ego power trip then turn back. There'll be action but with a lot of metaphysics and discussion on life with its accompanying issues. I strive to ground and make this webnovel relatable with verisimilitude. This webnovel is about choice. Freewill and its consequences. I give my characters autonomy to do and be themselves which sometimes leads to me rewriting and replotting because of pleasant surprises from my characters. Even the character who dies within the chapter they are introduced can have a massive impact with several ripples. So, there'll be stories on love and loss, hope and despair, but most importantly, it'll be a story. Release schedule: M, W, F - I aim for afternoon (1pm to 6pm) MST. I'm working on a project, codenamed "Guides' Sanctum", to make LOTSseries even more alive with special voice-overs, extra stories, behind the scene stuff, and so much more. But it can only come online when certain benchmarks are reached. The listed goals will help us get there. Goals:50 readers will unlock 4 chapters a week - Extra release on Thursday100 readers will unlock 5 chapters a week - Extra release on Tuesday250 readers will unlock 6 chapters a week - Extra release on Saturday500 readers and Project Guides' Sanctum comes online!Links:Lotsseries.blogspot.comSocial:@tonyswag0 - twitter@lotsseries - FacebookI'm thrilled at what is happening and what is still to come. Never be afraid to drop a comment. My DM is open. I'll work to keep this work free to access but I ask you to enjoy it from official sources so that you can be part of the discussion. There's magic in reading together to form a shared experience.Again, welcome aboard, my Guardians.
