Ashiya's PoV:
"I didn't know you could do dishes," I said as I walked into the kitchen. I had gone to Khala's room and found that she wasn't feeling well so I decided to make some soup for her.
"Hmm," was all I heard from the rock who was bending over the sink doing his work. This guy seriously needs some help...I mean how can someone stay in peace without talking to people? "Is that for Mom?" He asked as he saw me I cutting tomatoes into dices.
"Yeah," I replied and looked up. He was still looking at me.
"Don't put garlic in it," he said and I raised an eyebrow. "Mom does not like garlic in her soup," he reasoned and looked away. I just nodded and continued with my work.

It was after lunch when Khala and I were in her room looking at some old photos. She still seemed quite off but I didn't know if I should ask her or not. Even Arhaan seemed quieter than usual today. I hope everything is okay...
"This one was taken when I was in college," Khala said snapping me out of my thoughts. I looked at the picture she was looking at and saw an image of her in red kurti and off white trouser. She had a white dupatta placed on her head and a wide smile on her face. Along with her there were other women of her age too.
"Wow, you were so pretty back then," I exclaimed and she chuckled, "I mean, not that you ain't pretty anymore, MashaAllah, but you know," I winked. "Who's this?" I asked as I saw picture of a little boy who was wearing a tiger's costume. He looked cute and familiar.

"That's Ahan," Khala said smiling and I looked at her surprised, "it was clicked when he was 4."
"Unbelievable! He looks so cu.." I stopped as I realised what I was about to say. Khala laughed at me and spoke.
"Cute? Oh he was the cutest little munchkin back then," she said with so much love in her eyes, "and now he's a handsome young man."
I didn't say anything to that and she noticed it. Before she could ask me anything, I questioned.
"Is that you?" It was a picture with a young couple in it. They were smiling at the camera. The man looked like someone I know...but who? I took a closer look at him and then it struck me - he looked like Ahan!
"That's me and your uncle," Khala spoke softly.
"I'm sorry Khala I didn't..."
"Don't be, Ashu. It's nobody's fault," she said as a lone tear escaped from her left eye, "his memories are still fresh with me though..." she smiled weakly. I placed my hand on hers. She was constantly trying to fight back the tears that threatened to flow down from her eyes. "Your uncle was an amazing man...He was a perfect husband and a perfect father. You know, when Ahan was born, he distributed sweets to everyone in the hospital even though we were not so financially strong at that time. We didn't have much comforts back then, but his love for us was so much that he overlooked his own needs in order to fulfill ours. I still thank Allah (s.w.t.) for giving me a husband like him. I couldn't have asked for better..." By now she was crying softly in my embrace. I held her tight and rubbed her back in order to soothe her pain. I didn't stop her from shedding her tears for that would only make her feel heavier from inside.

"You miss him a lot, don't you?" I asked once she was calm but before she could reply, we heard the banging of the door. We looked up startled to see Ahan, standing near the door, his hand balled in fists and eyes glaring right at me.

A Virtual Invasion
An invasion from another dimension is shut down by an Empire's traitor and the world has a scant few decades to build the strength to resist a multidimensional Empire. How will the world fair when no one even knows its doom is one barred gate away? Fortunately, the traitor has a plan. Maybe with a bit of luck and planning, he can build a force to defend the world without anyone realizing it. Author's Thoughts: What is litRPG (From wikipedia) - LitRPG, short for Literary Role Playing Game, is a literary genre combining the conventions of MMORPGs with science-fiction fantasy novels.[1] LitRPG is a literary genre where games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story. A LitRPG work simultaneously narrates the story of characters inside and outside of the game-world. At least some of the characters in a LitRPG novel therefore understand that they are playing a game: they are 'meta-aware'. So, while Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel, a book about people creating avatars and interacting in a Lord of the Rings MMORPG would be a LitRPG novel.Why do I read them? You know, I am not too sure. I love MMOs. I played them, quit them, joined up and repeated the cycle. They are fun! They are a massive waste of time but so are most games. Do I want to read about someone else playing them? Sort of?The advent of VR and the possibility of VR someday becoming so immersive that you can't tell them from reality sets the imagination on fire. What if this could be life? But most stories fall short. At the end of the day the protagonist hangs up his VR helmet and goes to have dinner with his mom and dad or other family and it becomes meaningless. It's like the story that ends because the main character woke up and nothing you read matters.There have been some books that explore the concept of the intersection of reality and total immersion VR. Enders Game is a classic. There were a few others that escape me but they exist, however, the cross between the game and reality is weak.So what if the game was real? The technology needed for total immersion VR is so advanced that by the time we reach that goal technology should have naturally evolved to include several items. You must have direct neural input. You simply can't have a total immersion (all senses and perfect presence) experience without this basic prerequisite. If you have direct neural access, you can probably do neat things like feed knowledge and skills directly to that person. You can undoubtedly do many horrible things as well. Muscles are controlled by the brain. If you control the brain why would you let the body just sit there and rot? A person that sits unmoving for 24 hours a day will have their body whither away just like a coma patient. However, if you control the brain you could control the muscles. On a basic level, this would be isometric impulses, working muscle group against muscle group to avoid atrophy. Taken to its logical conclusion you would be able to gain muscle mass and program muscle memory. The flip side is that you could remote control their body... but let's not go there. So what would people do if it were real? Well, they would probably limit and regulate it since the drawbacks are very obvious. Even if you look at the basic aspects of this you can see some negative possibilities. Look at the Sword Art Online anime. Personally, I think they missed the boat by putting a bomb in the VR helmet. Do you really need a bomb when you have direct access to the brain?So what kind of events would you need to have a situation where the obvious drawbacks haven't been explored? Maybe a society where the advancement of technology has so far outstripped the explorations of its applications that ignorance was truly bliss? Okay, so I had to put in an alien invasion to kickstart the premise, but that was just one of the possibilities.

The Flesh and Blood Dungeon
This is not the usual dungeon core story. I did not originally plan to make it humorous, but, well, you'll see. This fiction will not turn into a story about a bunch of adventurers who enter a giant boars anus looking for treasure. No promises tho.

The Cursed Imperial Heart
In a world divided into different social classes, a nameless girl starts her journey rather tiring than most kids. Abandoned by her parents, she became a servant at a very young age to a wealthy noble family--the Brotillon, a family of powerful water elementals. Whose head is a well known Viscount. Though the girl was born with shiny brown hair and sparkling brown eyes, it was for that reason that she became a laughing stock to those around her. With no one to turn to for support, she swore to learn how to use magic no matter what! But as each day goes by, the beatings and humiliation got worse and worse. Finally had enough, she lashed out screaming! Done with the world she lived in! Done with her life! Only to faint out of exhaustion afterwards. Upon opening her eyes, she expected nothing more than an empty room with no one inside but her. However, it was the opposite! A room full off doctors and worried faces?! Indeed, she must have hit her head so hard when she fainted! She's probably just hallucinating, right?! But to her shock, it was all real! The Viscount who constantly beat her, patted her on the head?! The mistress who ridiculed her every chance she got, was worried?! Not just that, but----CRYING?! This continued for the next few weeks, and it looked like the 'situation' won't be stopping anytime soon. But she of all people knew, that it was all an act. But the question is, why? She screamed and lashed out at them, so why? Or perhaps, what she really needs to be asking are.... What REALLY happened before she fainted? What are they hiding from her? And lastly, Why are they suddenly interested in her eyes?
