POV: Parasitic Seedling
‘Uughhh… what in loli heaven was that, the pain was unbearable, I’m surprised I didn’t pass out the second it started.’
*Report
You were defeated by your opponent.
Win Defeat
Lv3 Root + 100N VS Lv1 Root + 50N
Gain 100N Loss 100N + 3x Lv1 Roots Destroyed + Lv2 Root Destroyed*
‘What the hell how can a tree defend itself from me aren’t they inanimate objects, and what’s with these losses not only did I lose the nutrients spent but an extra 50N and my root as well. That no good, heavy handed, swindling son of a bitch, I don’t care who hit first you’re going down tree.’
After my rant I checked my calendar to see how much time passed since the attack, apparently it was 1 week dead on.
‘That’s convenient make’s things easier to keep track of things, let’s see take my original count then add 31N for every hour that passed, no wait I lost some roots so that number goes down by…’

‘Damn I forgot about that, oh well never mind cause look at those sweet digits almost 5000N looks like I will get my revenge quicker than expected. But first reinforcements, from past experiences I know a large number of roots is vital for gaining more nutrients over time.’
*Do you wish to purchase 86x Lv1 Roots for 860N? (Y/N)*

‘Yes, now to strengthen them to Lv2, they might not be impressive for gathering nutrients but there better for strangling some poor tree to death.’
*Do you wish to upgrade 86x Lv1 Roots to Lv2 for 1720N? (Y/N)*
‘And with that preparations are complete let’s get some wood…, I’m a plant these things don’t mean the same thing anymore so shut up negative voices in my head. Back on topic revenge, look out random tree in what I’m guessing is a random forest I'm coming for you, switch to my map and let’s begin. ’
POV: ???
‘Something feels ominous I haven’t felt this way since that last attack why am I having it again so soon?’
The being increased its awareness and began to observed its surroundings with more detail and immediately began to panic.
‘That’s… impossible, it’s only been a week it can’t have regained what was lost in the last attack so soon.
In front of this being was a scene straight out of a horror film, though since they don’t have films in this world I suppose it was like a horror story told during moonlit nights. Roots spread out from a source and completely surrounded the being like outstretched claws, at once ten roots charged as one.
*Notice
Parasitic Seedling has attacked your 8x Lv3 Roots with 10x Lv2 Roots and +100N per root. To continue please offer more than 100N for each opposing root to prevent invasion of your body.*
‘What… what is this… its power level… it’s over 1000! That’s impossible, it’s just a seed it can’t beat me… no I refuse… please stoooppp.’
POV: Parasitic Seedling
*Your attack was successful you have infiltrated the opposing tree. Do you wish to drain the tree of its total nutrients 210N? (Y/N)*
‘Ha ha haa, take that you stupid tree nobody steals from me and gets away with it, now about the prize… that’s bloody bullshit. In the first fight I bet 50N and lost then it stole an extra 50N while destroying some of my roots, now I bet 1000N and won but it only gave 210, half of that was mine to begin with, what a waste.’

*Due to your greedy nature you have the option to capture the tree and farm it for nutrients till it dies from exhaustion.*
*Do you wish to capture this tree? (Y/N)*
‘Now that’s more like it, yes.’
*You have captured a tree, the tree will behave like an extension of your body enabling you to use Plant Sight and Plant Hearing, this tree will also share some of your abilities.*
*You have gained the title Monster Under the Bed, this title increases the chance of surprising an opponent when engaging from beneath.*
*You have gained the title Landowner, you can now capture and control multiple plant lifeforms and use them for your own gain.*
*New parts and abilities have been unlocked.*
‘Now that’s a reward; titles, abilities, part and I can see now, wonder how that works?’
Suddenly my presence was dragged away; it felt like I was sitting in a motionless elevator all this time and now it decided to move. It was quick and finished just as fast but the surprise wasn’t over, the doors opened.
‘Light! Aaaarrgh, my retinas they burn… wait do trees have retinas, oh forget it moving on. That change felt almost natural like I always had eyes but couldn’t open them, I imagine it’s similar to when a baby’s first open there eyes. And there’s sound as well particularly crying.’
I followed the noise until her image came into my sight.
[???] “(Sob sob) How could you (sob) do such a thing (sob)?”

Primacy Online
Life on Earth was nearly eradicated in World War III, but using alien technology, the Patriarch of the Church of the Resurrection built a new society from the ashes. He created what he called the Constructed Reality MMORPG, Primacy Online, a world so real that the players could not distinguish it from reality. After outlawing wars between the city-states on Earth, he declared that all wars would be fought inside the world of Primacy Online. Thirteen hundred years later, the release of Primacy Online VI: Legacy of Balor signals the beginning of World War IX. Players from Earth's city-states will be locked in cryogenic capsules and play Primacy Online in War Mode. Their achievements in the game will determine the victory rankings of their city-states, but if they die in the game, they will die for real. Patrick Armagh found flaws in the game mechanics of Primacy Online and exploited them to rise to the peak of the game. But when the Church declared he was cheating, he was perma-banned from the game. Now, the Church has declared that Patrick and all the other perma-banned cheaters will be included in a special Church group for World War IX, where they can earn redemption for their sin of cheating. However, Morgan Danan, Speaker of the City of Mann, and the generally acknowledged number one player of Primacy Online, has a deal for Patrick. With her help and his method of cheating, he has the chance to become a virtual god within Primacy Online, but by taking up her offer, he will become an enemy of the Church. Like a significant percentage of Primacy Online players, Patrick suffers from an ultimately fatal, degenerative nervous system disorder. He has less than five years to live. With death staring him in the face and nothing to live for, he accepts Morgan Danan's offer, and once again, enters Primacy Online as Crom Cruach, a disgraced legend. Will Crom Cruach, once again, become a legend, or will he be destroyed by the Church? What secrets has the Church hidden inside the game?

The book of forever
An experimental diary of sorts recounting my life and experiences, written as a slightly whimsical scifi story about setting off from the past to unknown lands, rebuilding from nothing and finding myself again. The first section of the book contains matched chapters, a chapter for a interlude, both happening at the same time roughly The second section of the book contains more one off stories as we follow one of the travelers explore their heart as well as a unknown land, growing in the process. All of the text here was written in 10 syllable chunks, this reads like a epic of sorts, just with more philosophical focus and POV jumps. Hope you enjoy! >Updates may be sporadic as I only write when I have something about myself I want to share The chapters can all be read individually, although there may be some crossovers between them they work as single poems. You start at whatever chapter you want since these are a collection of roughly connected poems (although you'll notice tie ins and references to eachother)
