'Oh my god, did you see that new Gucci bag at Watt Mall? It's so cute! Like, if I wore it with my jeans and crop top, it would be so cute!'Lily smiled, Sofia nodded. 'So, can you still believe that gods are actually real? Not like, Jesus. But, like, Zeus, Hades, Athena, I don't want to believe these... things are in our world. Especially demigods.'
'They didn't choose their fate, you know. They might just hate it as much as you hate getting bullied.' Piper said, looking a little angry for some reason. Isabella snorted, 'Well, their invading our world. My daddy said he will be coming to school during afternoon assembly to talk to us about this problem.'

'Hello everyone, as I'm sure you know, I'm Dave Williams, chairperson of president McLanna, and I'm here to speak to you about the issue of these... hybrids that walk on our land.' Mr Williams said. 'The president is already considering to sent out the best hunters in the world to hunt down these hybrid creatures, so-' His sentence was interrupted by Piper, who was suddenly next to him with a dagger at his throat. 'Say something like that again and you're dead.' Piper said through gritted teeth.
Obviously, the dagger would go through mortals, but they didn't no that.
Mr Williams scowled. 'Young ladies do not play with daggers.' Piper glowered at him. 'Do you know who I am, Mr Williams?' Mr Williams snorted, 'You're Piper McLean, daughter of Tristan McLean.' Piper smirked. 'Wrong.' Everyone looked appalled, did she pretend to be Tristan McLean's daughter? Everyone probably thought, but we were all wrong.
'I am Piper McLean, daughter of Tristan McLean and Aphrodite, charm-speaker. And now, sleep.' At soon as she uttered the word sleep, my world fell away.

Unliving
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon, November 2021] For the longest time, Aideen Fiachna had only one prescient wish; to be the daughter her parents could take pride in. The idea was a tall order, especially as her father stood at the head of the Templar order, and her grandfather as the Pope. However, she endeavored to try nonetheless. Yet fate had a different path in store for her. For all her efforts, all her best laid plans, were but the broken off crumbs of 'one day'. That day, she was brutally slain by a vile, accursed undead being. Though, not even restful eternity awaited her in death. She awakened inside a coffin. Her coffin. During her own funeral wake. Discovering, to her horror, that she had risen. Not somehow resurrected, no, but back in the form of that most hated of beings--the curse of undeath. What will fate deal her next? Chapters will range from 1-2.5k words, scheduled for release every day from Monday to Friday. --------------------------------------- Expect: -Character progression in a journey of self discovery that spanned the ages -World building -Tragedy and Comedy in roughly equal measures -Occasional action Do not expect: -Much in terms of romance -Politics, barring passing views and mentions -A lighthearted tale. This story will be a good bit grimmer than my previous one Any comments, reviews, and criticism will be much appreciated. And thank you for reading. --------------------------------------- Disclaimer: This story is my original work and only posted on the Royal Road website. If you should find this story elsewhere or under another name, please let me know.

Collection of Short Stories?
I lied it's even less than a short story more like a collection of disparate situations. Also you can read this completely out of order. There is no connection between the chapters. Read any that interest you.

Programmable Magic
Our main character, Reo van Dijck, tries to survive in a world where magic-spells are stored in game-like-cartridges. Only a few lucky ones can use them though. These chosen ones are venerated and worshipped like celebrities, unbelievable riches lie only a single dungeon-exploration away for them, they are called Machia. What will happen to our protagonist when he awakens as a Machia and discovers that he can actually program these magic-cartridges?... The Earth also changed drastically since the dungeons appeared, how could it not? These unknown, giant towers suddenly started spewing out hordes of fiends and monstrosities. Only The Machia were able to defend against these attacks on humanity. Countries were destroyed, safe-havens were build and then yet again destroyed. Eventually humanity adapted, like it always does. The economy was rebuild and centered around these new towers, these dungeons, the treasures they hold outweigh their dangers. Life is relatively safe again, for most at least… Read about Reo’s exploits, an immigrant from the Netherlands, as he tries to honor his dead parents and… find love? Establish a Guild?! Live the Ideal Harem life?!! BECOME PIRATE KING?!!! Okay maybe not that last one, but Reo will definitely leave his mark behind on this world full of mystery. This story features romance, comradery, an interesting power system and a post-apocalyptic world with amusing characters, what more do you want?! No seriously, I’m always open to constructive feedback. This story also displays my interpretation of a magic-coding-language (based on JAVA). Although knowledge about coding helps, you can also enjoy the story without it 😊.
