《b4 + a5T3R》Waking Up
Advertisement
My eyes were still closed as I awoke as if they were glued shut. My limbs immobile and my body heavier than steel.
Words couldn't come to my mind. Only ideas. Pieces of thought broken into the simplest of ideas. Just feelings.
Where am I? Who am I?
Were the first questions that came to my mind, no, the first feelings that came to my mind. But before I even had the chance to think about them feeling returned to my body. I could feel myself on the rough rocky surface that I was laying on. My eyes still closed.
Then came the feeling of burning. My entire body felt as if it was engulfed in flames. I couldn't understand. Nothing made sense. It was as if I just popped into existence just to feel pain.
I tried opening my eyes. It was basic instinct. Wanting to see the world around me. But I failed. I couldn't do anything.
I wasn't going to give up. I attempted a second time. Managing to open my eyes to see the black rocky asphalt and a city in ruins around me along with a beautiful red sky. As if it was bleeding. My midnight blue hair blocking my vision slightly contrasting with the deep red sky. Of course, I knew not my surroundings. Everything was simply there.
I moved my eyes away from the skyline towards myself. I could see the beautiful brown skin on my hands, my skin nearly immaculate other than a few blemishes from the black surface of the asphalt.
Then the pain increased. As if fire had begun to flow through my veins burning the very core of my being into submission. It felt as though wires were being bent in my head trying to lock something away. Trying to hide it from me. My eyes closed while I struggled to stay conscious.

Suddenly I stopped. I didn't care anymore. I didn't have the energy to resist. The dangers of falling asleep unknown to me I let myself drift away into the vastness of my now empty mind. The only thing keeping me alive being my Drive.
And as I was asleep she arrived and took me away.

Kernstalion
One release per week [Hiatus in November due to NaNoWriMo] [Changed the Summary based on reader feedback. Thanks guys!] When Mitchel gets a birthday gift from his girlfriend Sandra - a pre-order version of the newest VR game, he is thrilled. Real-life graphics, full-body senses, and a mysterious world that nobody knows anything about seem like a great way to escape real-life for a few months or longer. Two days later, his dreams of a pleasant pastime are shattered. After meeting a rude welcome-NPC, getting a weak starting body, and having a near-death experience, he finds himself sleeping on the ground, cold and filthy. Unable to log-out, he now has frightening dreams where the tutorial-AI is walking around in his body plotting Earth's conquest. If that isn't enough, he slowly realizes that the game might not actually be a game but that he could very well be in another world. Can Mitchel find out what is going on and where Sandra is? Can he regain his own body, and would he still want to when all is said and done? [The Story] What this story is: A LitRPG, portal-like, slow-moving story with a protagonist who has to balance crafting and 'magic' to survive. The books have a pre-thought-out plot and finish. Also, the world is harsh, and things don't always go the MC's way. What it is not: A drama, romance, grimdark, although these elements might appear. I've had some feedback that the intro seems to set up a very rough life for the MC. There is a reason for this, and I hope you give it a try beyond the first few chapters. Do note, this is not an unreasonably harsh novel.

Rolf The Barbarian Battlemage
Our story began on the frozen tundra, where barbarians roamed over thousands of years after the first landing of Bok. They were hearty warriors that valued strength and honor above anything else.

The Exodus Project
This is the original version of Origin before I rewrote it. It's much more simpler, some names and personalities are a little different. THere's nowhere near as much back story or character development/interaction. But the story is essentially at the end of book one. I wrote this 15 odd years ago, and with a bit of polish it doesn't look too bad. The story like Origin is about a group of college students who find a ship that is the last remnant of an ancient human space faring civilisation, they fix her up and go back into space. Along they way they'll meet alot of aliens, religious fundamentalists and conmen.
