《The Greatest Journey (Completed)》The Letter
Advertisement
Dear Mr. Howard,
In confession today...
"No," I crumbled up the paper.
Dear Earl of Bridgeston,
"No," I crumbled up the sixth paper and threw it on the floor and began again until it was nowhere near perfect but still the best attempt.
Dear Mr. Howard,
Understanding how unusual the receiving of this letter may be to you I write it under the orders of my conscience and a man ordained by God to counsel common people as myself. As you previously stated you could no longer maintain a friendship with me I will not ask you for it but what I do ask may be of equal greatness; forgiveness.
Mr. Howard I repent from what I believed for so long were your weaknesses, lies and deceit, I confused these with your serious humor and hidden demeanor. You told no lies but you were not straightforward, you did not deceive yet you kept your plans and your innocence in the matter of Lydia to yourself; forgive me. Forgive me for portraying the worse part of me unto you it was for revenge of your rejection I behaved so irrationally. Now I wholeheartedly regret everything I have done which injured you or anyone you may love. At the time I did not believe anything was intentionally wrong but it was wrong in the end and I damaged what could have been a lifelong friendship.
If any part of you believes I am redeemable, that I may still learn from my silliness and become a better woman through your forgiveness then please grant me the honor to someday be who I suspect you might have hoped I was. With all I am, with all I believe to be holy I ask you Mr. Howard that we may speak face to face about my shortcomings and make our amends as soon as it fits you, and if you do not accept my forgiveness I will understand your position for I proved myself the same as Lydia, though I do not conscientiously believe we are alike, had you met me in under different circumstances.

Sincerely,
Miss Alice Stewart.

Man of Earth
Magic is a terrifying force. Logic itself is subject to this energy, which is (logically speaking) impossible for us to comprehend. Every universe requires some version of magic to exist. That is, all but one. Our world functiouns based on a powerful and intricate net of laws that act independently from magical interference. The most notable of these is the human brain, which is capable of even more than its creator had thought possible. Naturally, this prompted the question: "How would a human fare in a world of magic?" Soon, there was a bet. Next, a human was selected. Finally, an odd young man with a strange black hat was introduced to his new world, and all restraints were removed.

Cosmic Bulldozing Team
"Welcome to the Cosmic Bulldozing Team! CBT for short... references to any other acronyms are purely coincidental." Breve has one exceptional gift: an inborn potential for Resurrection magic. The cost? Every other healing spell she casts is absolutely paltry in comparison to the rest of her race, making her family outcasts within her society. That potential alone, however, classes Breve as a Rank A Healer. By what metric? Well, by the crazy elf lady who’s about to destroy her planet. Wait, what? Here's the low-down: her planet has been targeted by the Cosmic Bulldozing Team, which, as their name suggests, operates in the apparently lucrative business of destroying planets. This comes with the unfortunate side-effect of also murdering everyone who lives there. And Breve would’ve been killed, too, if she hasn’t unintentionally passed their audition for a new healer. Unwillingly saved by the people who just annihilated everything Breve ever knew and loved, she’s dragged into a massive spaceship before, without a moment’s reprieve, being assigned missions to sally forth and commit the same atrocities on other planets. And with Breve's home lying in a pile of celestial bedrock, it seems that cooperating is the only option. And she will cooperate, or so help her, they'll send her back whence she came: into the void of space, where the smashed rubble of her planet now drifts along. "Buckle in, rookie: you've got some planetary destruction ahead of you." (Updates every 2 days.)

The Afterlife, And How To Survive It (Barely)
Larry Foulery's monotonous, directionless life changed drastically, when he got shot in the face. Reincarnated into a new world, where he has nothing to lose and everything to gain, and with the honor and dedication of an part-time fast food cashier, he is ready to face this adventure. Kinda. The story takes place in the cynical world of Afterlife, where status screens and are considered normal, and the rule of physics cry in a corner, because nobody cares about them, and they are alone and lonely, and their family hasn't called them in years. Anyways, have fun. BTW don't stare too long into the story cover. I get the feeling it stares back. I'm trying to improve my writing, so feel free to bombard me with criticism.

A Gray and Grey world
What if adventurers are not as they seemed. In the tales of old, adventurers were the ones who vanquished the demons and beasts from the land, the ones who sealed the great evil away, the ones who saved the world from destruction and kept peace within the lands. But, what if that wasn't really what happened? What if adventurers are selfish, narcissicistic, and- depending on who you ask- evil. What if they weren't the paragons of good that their history books show. As they say, it is the victors that write history. In this world, this broken world, the true nature of adventurers will be told, unveiled to the masses. In this world, where history has yet to be written, the true heroes will be shown. Or- at least, that's what should've happened. But then again- heroes, villains-... everything is relative to the one who sees it. Everything changes depending on who's perspective... Perhaps the heroes of this story- may not be the heroes that you might think. Author : Hello everyone! I just want you all to know that this is a first time story. I'm the one who's doing the draft, editing, proofreading and revisioning! I do aim to have a chapter up every week or so, thus I look forward to showing everyone the world I created!Editor : ^ Proof Reader : ^
