《Golden Solitude》Extra: Daily Life.
Advertisement
I wanted to try out mom’s new sweets, she wasn’t really good at making sweet things, but this time she was working really hard. I was watching from the table.
As soon as she was done baking the sweets, she put them on the table so that they wouldn’t be hot anymore.
They looked like yellow-ish cubes, and as soon as they cooled down I poked my finger into them to check how they were.
My finger went into it really easily since it was soft. I tasted the sweet and it was so good!
As I put it into my mouth it melted, it was like solid milk, and it was so sweet.
Mom made a few, and I ate all of them in a second!
“Did you like it?” mom asked. I replied back “Uh-huh! I like it!”
「Ah... I don’t like this at all...」 It was uncle, he didn’t like sweet things at all... It doesn’t even make any sense! They’re so good!
「You’re the only one who hates it uncle!」
「No. I hate it as well.」 it was grandpa, 「So you’re supporting him too!」
「No. It’s just the simple truth.」 - 「Hey.. I didn’t say I hated it...」
「Uncle, how can you agree with grandpa and hate it!?」
「I just said I didn-」
「They taste so numbing to the tongue.」 - 「That’s just because you’re being such an old man!」
「Heh. I can’t even believe that you’re this childish.」 - 「You’re the one who’s being childish!」
「Oh my god... These two...」
As Vira’s uncle stared into oblivion, the both of them continued to argue about the most trivial things. This indeed was the daily life of the three who lived in one body.

Cannon Fodder - A LitRPG Story
Not even alien scum can take down a squad of US Marines! When his dad died, Kerry Peters did the one thing he knew would have made his father proud. He signed up for the Marines. After barely making it through basic training and four days after deployment, he wasn’’t confident he’’d survive his first tour. As a bookworm, he wasn’’t considered a real soldier and most definitely not a hero. Fate, however, has had other plans for Fire Team One, and when the squad woke up in camp alone, the fight was no longer against the Vietcong … but against creatures from other worlds. This is a fairly smooth LitRPG story - so will incorporate aspects of RPG and gaming in the writing. The LitRPG side of things is most visible from Chapter 7 onwards.

The Dreamside Road
Five years after the world fell into chaos, a treasure of artifacts is up for grabs. The relics of the Dreamside Road offer a power that could help rebuild or annihilate what remains. Orson Gregory is an adventurer for hire, but hunts this treasure for answers, not glory. Enoa Cloud’s late aunt helped hide the Dreamside Road, but following in her aunt’s supernatural tradition offers her as much peril as power. Together, Orson and Enoa battle a magic-obsessed militia, clash with a host of rivals, and face constant adventure on their journey to find the Dreamside Road. *Updates Monday and Friday The Dreamside Road is now on TopWebFiction! Vote so people know this exists. _____________________________________ NOTE: The Progression tag applies specifically to Enoa. Also, fair warning, that element doesn't enter the story until she begins her studies. Content: Main characters range in age from teenagers to people in their thirties and older, but it will not contain gratuitous violence or explicit sexual content. It also won’t shy away from implication, anything to make this story and its world feel more real. Characters will freely allude to potentially triggering topics, including living with a disability, facing terminal illness, coping with trauma, surviving societal destabilization, and the consequences of bigotry. At its most intense, the Dreamside Road is a hard PG-13. Worldbuilding: This is not a story with a lot of early exposition scenes, conveniently explaining ‘magic systems’ and political dynamics. Readers will learn, progressively, as the characters do. This story/world has a ‘magic system’, or rather, a set of systems, but the effort to quantify and understand the truth of the setting plays a role in the backstory, as well as in some character motivations. In that same vein, not every character has a firm grasp on the nature of their world, and not every piece of dialog from every character should be taken as entirely truthful Worldbuilding. Also, this isn't the softest Sci-fi. There are at least some basic explanations given for various elements, but Royal Road does not give me a spectrum to choose from. Given the choice between hard and soft, let's just say The Dreamside Road won't be cited in any college Physics papers. Setting and Theme: The Dreamside Road walks the line between fantasy and science fiction and deals with finding one’s place in a changing world. Many of the characters in this story are United States natives and the story begins in the United States, my homeland. However, knowledge or interest in this country is not necessary to understand the story, especially as it progresses. Also, as this is a novel that deals with societal collapse and while that damage may be widespread, in story, I don’t want to overstep and critique the culture of others’ unless I have particular knowledge in a given area. Ultimately, the Dreamside Road is American in the same way Harry Potter is English, fantasies that do not have a full secondary world, but with enough original elements to fully diverge the setting from our the real world.
