《For You, I Would Forsake The World》Prologue

*Tap*
*Tap*
*Tap*
The tapping of my shoes against the cold concrete stairs reverberated against the solid stone walls as I scaled the stairs that seemingly went on for an eternity.
I started to look back on my life and wondered where everything went wrong, I pondered and pondered until I realised that it didn't matter, nothing mattered anymore.
*Tap* *Tap* *Tap* the day was cold and unforgiving which seemingly made the tapping of my shoes sound louder than it was. As I scaled the stairs I dragged my finger along the metal railing as the tips of my finger grew colder and colder; numb to the bone I could only feel the pressure of my fingers against the metal.
I don't believe I had a particularly hard life, in fact, you could say I had a good life, at least in the eyes of others. I don't blame anyone but myself and probably a few genetic markers that were the origin of my depression.
Finally, I reached the last step *Tap* what stood in front of me was a grey door with a tinge of silver.
As I exhaled a snow-white fog quickly formed while dissipating just as quickly.
I pushed open the door and was immediately hit by an icy cold gust almost toppling me over; I walk through the frame whilst my face numbs to the air rushing around me.
*bzzt* *bzzt* *bzzt* I pull my phone out of my pocket to see multiple incoming notifications from some contacts, It was particularly odd because I didn't think any cell towers were working in this city.
It’s beautiful, the city I mean the sky also. I put my phone away and admire the vast sky that was pitch black with what could only be described as diamonds scattered far and wide. I walked to the edge of the building and sat at the edge with my legs dangling off the edge; one mistake and I could fall, from this height, I would most certainly cease.

After my first attempt, and failure I was forced through therapy and finished, but it still… Life just felt like a repeating cycle of eating, sleeping, school and eating again, that is until the war.
After that most of the world kind of fell apart, I haven't seen a person in over 3 months. I grabbed my flask of whiskey, poured the whole lot down my throat; stood up, and jumped.
Finally, after 17 long years, I could rest…
It was an odd feeling, as I fell I could feel the wind dashing past me the cold air causing my skin to tingle; it felt, peaceful? Like I was free like the world was rushing past me without a care in the world. I wish I could savour this fee- I then heard a *CRACK* and, nothing…
…
Nothing..?
That's not quite right…
It’s dark, it’s warm, and it’s oddly comforting; like being submerged in a warm viscous liquid.
To Be Continued.

Ancient Bones: The Changed Ones book 1 (Post-Post Apocalypse LitRPG)
Is it truly an RPG Apocalypse... if no one can see the RPG? Generations after the Fall, Mankind has achieved a balance in a world it is no longer the master of. But your prospects in this Malthusian world are limited. Johanna Milton and her friends have an answer: delve into Ancient ruins, avoid Changed beasts and mana pockets, and salvage Ancient materials, collectibles, and trinkets to sell. It pays well if you avoid the perils of the Ancient world. But when they find the skeleton of an Ancient, their lives take a strange turn. Suddenly, Talents straight out of fantasy novels become theirs. While they try to make sense of what happens, eyes turn to them, to the four who seem to break all rules. Or are they merely following them? Because, in the Beyond where he's spent 150 years waiting, one dead Ancient knows the truth. Douglas Moore has played those games often enough when he was alive to make sense of the System that rules the Changed world. He can no longer act on his own, but he has access to the Interface. And four people for which he can bring whatever it takes to face the world. Change is coming. The Changed Ones is a slow-burn litrpg fantasy trilogy (Ancient Bones, Ancient Books, Ancient Bonds) set on Earth, 150 years after the RPG Apocalypse... which mostly failed. It is an homage to the venerable ancient RPGs of the Golden Box era, the Baldur's Gates, and many others, offering adventure where You must gather your party before venturing forth. Keywords: LitRPG, realistic setting, low-leveling, post-post-apocalypse, fantasy earth, slow-burn, secondary POVs, female primary MC, team adventure, worldbuilding. Trigger warnings: casual swearing, adult innuendo (no explicit scenes whatsoever, though). Oh, and potentially a bit of politics. Bonus content: a Litrpg Easter Egg hunt. With lots of eggs across the book, some easy, some hard to find. Current score: 6/20 (20 eggs, 6 found) Publication schedule: on hold until September for book 2.
