>Be Evan.
>Be 12.
>Be watching nature show with Jason. It's about wolf packs.
>There's a vicious fight for dominance among the top male wolves.
>The alpha and the beta. A beta male has dared to challenge the alpha over a female.
>That concept applies to humans, too, you know, says Jason.
>How?
>There's alpha males and beta males. The alphas get all or most of the females. The betas get whatever's left over or nothing.
>Which one am I? Alpha or beta?
>Depends.
>Which one am I, like, right now, though?
>You're a beta right now, but only cause you're the fourth in line. Dad's the alpha in our family. Dads are the alpha in any family unit. Usually, anyway. Sometimes it's the moms. But only if the dads are weak.
>Are you an alpha?
>Depends on what group I'm in. But sometimes, yeah.
>What's it like?
>Honestly? Exhausting, grins Jason. You're constantly having to assert your dominance like wolfy there. It's not something that you just get. You're constantly fighting for it, even if it doesn't look like you are.
>What about my group of friends? Who's the alpha there? It's not me, I know that much.
>Well, who's the one who gets the final say? Who can order everyone around and the least amount of people have a problem with it?
>The wolves on tv finish their fight, the victor nipping at the loser on the neck, the loser's tail between its legs.
>Jason points.
>See? Alphas can snap at another male and not get snapped back at. Like, when Dad gets mad at you or me we have to submit before the confrontation's over, right? Or, from what I've seen, in your group of friends, when that Rob kid, the tall one, snaps at Dinkins, Dinkins doesn't challenge him, right? But when Matt or you does, Dinkins'll fight back. He lets Rob have it. Therefore Rob's the alpha.

>Evan had never thought of that before. How interesting.
>So there you go, says Jason.
>I'm glad I'm not an alpha, says Evan. Being an alpha sounds like a lot of work.
>Spoken like a true beta, says Jason.
>They watch the wolf pack take down a caribou.

Sunchasers
As Arthur opens his eyes, he finds himself in an unknown place, smack-dab in the middle of nowhere, without anything to help him survive save for a set of pyjamas and little knowledge of outdoors survival. Follow his steps as he tries to figure out where he is, and what will become of him. Sunchasers is a Fantasy novel with a sprinkle of lightweight sort of LitRPG (i.e. without Classes or Stats). While the first ten or so chapters of Book I are about Arthur's lonesome survival, the rest of the story focuses more on exploration and the protagonist will come in contact with other people quite often. The novel is being written in British English and using the metrics system. (I do not own the Cover) Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoy this journey! I have a Discord Server, Join Here!

Dreamland
Dolores is a lucky girl with a high-level avatar in a very popular game. She did not level it up; she got it through some fortunate circumstances. She is not interested in fighting and levelling; all she wants is to have some fun and follow her own fantasies. If only there would not be all those idiots who intend to kill her, capture her, or simply use her. And those flaws in the game! Wait, what? Those pesky game characters now appear in the real world? And they can do magic? How did this happen? Adding to her troubles, her crush does not even look at her. As Dolores tries only to survive and hide between 'normal' people, she encounters stranger and stranger things that force her hand and, in the end, she has the answers to a lot of questions. It is a slow-developing story. I had a lot of fun writing it and hope to share it with you, dear reader if you also enjoy it. On the other hand, putting it in an acceptable form requires much work and energy. I intend to bring it to its end and not let it unfinished. I hate it when I encounter unfinished stories, so I understand the feeling. This is not a classical isekai story. There is travel between the two worlds, and the game world seems to be so very real... well, this is one plot of the story. This is not an MMORP game story. Part of the action happens inside a game world, but it is treated as a real world. Updates on a weekly basis, at least Monday and Friday, with additional bonus chapters as time and energy allow. Cover art: White Flower as A Dark Fairy by Darkrealmsmaiden Yolanda gracefully allowed me to use her dark fairy as cover. There are many more beautiful works of art to be discovered at her site: https://www.deviantart.com/darkrealmsmaiden Additional Grammar Trigger Warning: As a non-native speaker, I do my best. Unfortunately, this is not enough for people with a low tolerance for warped sentences and... they may want to skip the story :( Well, you have been warned :) I appreciate it when a reader points out a sentence that needs rework. That may spare a follow-up reader some pain and helps me understand where my English grammar problems are. * We thought we made the best game in Earth's history We thought we made the best interfaces ever seen We thought we made it - lifelike But it far exceeded our expectations. Dolores, I hope you're happy now. I hope you're alive now...
