《The Lyrics That Defined Us.》when we were young.

Everybody loves the things you do
From the way you talk
To the way you move
Everybody here is watching you,
'Cause you feel like home
You're like a dream come true,
But if by chance you're here alone
Can I have a moment
Before I go?
'Cause I've been by myself all night long
Hoping you're someone I used to know
You look like a movie
You sound like a song
My God, this reminds me
Of when we were young
--
"Oh my god, he plays so beautifully..."
"Where did he go?"
"Mark said he was leaving."
"Oh maybe he left too,"
"Imagine being a friend of him,"
"I heard he is a great guy."
"His friends would be so lucky."
"To have him, yeah."
"Imagine being his teacher, you'd be so proud."
"Ha, yeah man."
"I wish I could talk to him but he left so early,"
"Does he not drink?"
"Don't know."
Eddy hated being so close to people who were talking about Brett as if he were a God. He was sitting there fuming, while waiting for his girlfriend to come, listening to some young people fangirling and fanboying over Brett. Yeah, sure, the Tchaikovsky was amazing but they should seriously stop. It was almost as if they were ready write a book about him and his greatness.
Eddy scoffed to the thought he once, too was like these teenagers. Completely blinded by Brett and thought whatever he did was amazing. Oh did they know, Eddy had helped Brett throughout the Tchaikovsky concerto? Did they know how much time he spent just sitting in a practice room calming an overly-angry Brett Yang and saving his poor sheets-music from getting shredded to pieces? No.

"Hi." Mary popped up behind Eddy. "Hey," Mary immediately noticed Eddy's mood change and took a guess, "Is it because he was here? Are you upset because of that?" Close shot. Eddy shook his head, unsure. "Yeah but no. I met him outside." Mary rubbed Eddy's back, "Did you see the..." Mary trailed off not knowing if she stepping into the right territory or not. "Ring? Yes. Mark is the guy." Mary gasped, then smiled, "Oh nice, did you meet him too?" Eddy shook his head lightly, "Yeah."
Mary wasn't liking Eddy's weird behavior, "Do you wanna leave, Ed? I saw your parents, I can go tell them you are not feeling fine." Eddy smiled weakly, "Actually, yeah I want to leave." Mary nodded and headed right back to talk to his parents and tell them they were going to his apartment. She came back after fifteen minutes, by the time the cab was already waiting outside, "Hey boo." Eddy smiled. "Hi, let's leave, yeah?" Eddy nodded, taking Mary's hand and leading her out the door.
They reached their home and lethargy hit them like a bus as soon as Eddy opened the door and familiar warm air and the smell of home came to their noses. Mary lazily leaned against the wall and took her shoes off. "Do you know the piece he played?" Eddy asked curious, he didn't actually know if Mary liked classical music or not. Mary shook her head, slowly, "To be honest I think I heard chai coffee, I don't know." Eddy bursted out laughing,"The hell?" And then Mary blushed, looking like a beet root. "Tchaikovsky, pretty close though I must say." Eddy laughed and breathed out. "I still hear chai coffee." Mary mumbled, a little ashamed. "Tchai-kov-skee" Eddy said slowly, not entirely stopping his thunderous laughter. "Oh okay got it! Tch-kovsky!" Mary's accent was not helping here. "Tchai. Like you say chai, tea? Tchai-kovsky." Mary nodded, "Tchai-kov-sky! I said it, yeah!" Mary shouted, proud. "That's my girl!" Eddy hugged her.

Some how amongst all this they ended up in bed together. Though they still weren't changed, and needed to, too. There was no way they were sleeping in those fancy clothes and blings. So they did and went to sleep. Mary was out completely, nuzzling close to Eddy's neck relishing the warmth.
Maybe he didn't have to remember Brett anymore. Really. He could very well just forget him. There are real gems with him now. Real jewels. Real treasure. He would rather keep them than a fake friend. He didn't even come in his dreams now. And well if he did, they'd turn into nightmares.
And maybe his kind of treasure didn't shine for everyone but he was very happy to know that they glowed for him. If they needed to, they would burn for him.
Maybe his treasure wasn't gold, silver, platinum or ruby. They were much more simple. Flesh and bones, with hearts that cared and loved. After all it's the simple things that matter the most.
Maybe he would never have a stage for himself, never have an audience in front of him who would be in awe because of him. And personally, he didn't care. He would grow up as a great professor, tutor kids to perfection, make them steady and help them stand on their own feet. Make them a good generation, inculcate good habits, and make them better people.
Then he would have more treasure for himself.

This story follows a 19-year-old male by the name of Tobias (Tobi) Donlan. Having found himself trapped in a Virtual Reality Game through no fault of his own, Tobi can only accept his circumstances and wait for the day he is released. As time passes in the Virtual world however, Tobi begins to take on a new look at life and begins to question his own sense of reality. As time continues to pass, Tobi finds that he cares less for reality and the more for Aevitas. When the day comes that he can return to the real world, will he even want to? Will he even have a choice? Follow Tobi as he experiences his second life inside Aevitas; a virtual reality game that claims anything is possible. Note: This story is, in part, based on another story by the same name and author. It is not, however, the same story and the original was discontinued due to various 'complications'. While marked with warning for profanity and sexual content, it is extremely mild, uncommon to the point of near-non-existence and lacks any detailed descriptions. In some cases it is litte more than inuendo's or vague references. Updates will be weekly: Saturday.

An Id of Primal Chaos
TAG DISCLAIMER: The tags 'Portal Fantasy / isekai', 'High Fantasy', and 'Non-Human Lead' do not take place until later on in the novel. Probably mid-way through the first volume. The 'villainous lead' tag is a very loose tag. Some of the things the mc does can be considered villainous to those with a staunch moral code, however, I have not made the mc out to be overtly villainous. True Title: Advent of the Silent Storm (I came up with the original title a while ago, before I had even written a single chapter. It still kind of fits but this new title fits a lot better. I would change it but I don't know if it would screw up the recommendation algorithm.) Excerpt: My mind wanders through the soup of unconsciousness, still startlingly awake despite my physical form’s stasis. Electricity completely paralyzes the air around me and lightning flashes in a constant strobe of blinding light. The ground, thousands of feet below my being has been wiped clean of all manmade artifice and natural beauty; leveled, through absolute power. My power. Synopsis: Tetal Faelen, a very successful businessman with lofty goals, is introduced to an omniscient being through less than pleasant means. This being has an irresistible offer for Tetal with next to no downside. Tetal can’t help but wonder, “What’s the catch?” Additional Notes: Second novel I have started within the Web of Interconnected Realities. My other novel is not posted on this site so don't bother looking for it. I might post it here in the future.

Of Misclicks and Magic
What happens when those given power of unimaginable proportions fulfill their objective and become without aim? Some may continue to use it wisely, but, more often than not, it is abused. In so many isekais (or fantasy stories in general), the protagonist remains a beacon of morality with the temptations of power seemingly non-existent.In the world of Luvitov, however, upon the demon king's demise, the heroes splintered and their intentions became warped with their new immortal lives. They engage in an endless power struggle for the only ones that can oppose them is each other.Here in this world of might and magic, a reincarnated man makes a small mistake, he accidentally skipped the skill and stats screen in the process of reincarnating. His stats are nothing but ones and has no innate skills or talents. He sits yearning for a life undetermined by others.If you have reached this point and are willing to put up with my garbage along with my inconstant uploading, then welcome and I hope that you find some enjoyment out of this, even if aimed at myself.
