《Senior Year》A Long Week
Advertisement
Since you got home late from the dance, your parents let you skip church to sleep in. You slept in until about 10:30am. Luckily, you didn't have any homework or studying to do, so you had the whole day to relax and do whatever you want. You sat up in your bed and you turned your phone off of airplane mode.
You got A LOT of notifications from Instagram and texts from the cast. Some of the cast commented on your post about Homecoming and that got reposted by several fan page accounts. You realized that ever since you joined the cast over the summer, you've gotten a lot of attention on the internet.
You texted each of them individually. You told them all about it. You were texting Dexter about how dancing to certain songs reminded you of dancing at that club. Right after you sent that text, Thomas texted you.
Thomas: Hi love. How was the dance? By the looks of it, I'm assuming that you had fun.
You: Oh, it was! It had to be the best Homecoming out of all of the high school years. But, dancing in heels wasn't too pleasant.
Thomas: I bet it wasn't. Less than a week until we all get together for the premiere. I can't wait to see you again. I've missed you so much ❤️
You: I can't wait either. I've missed you and everyone else 😘
Thomas: Hopefully the week will go by fast. I gotta go. My family is practicing for a band performance.
You: Have fun. Tell your family I said hi. Talk to you later. Love you ❤️🎵
Thomas: I will. Bye. Love you too 💖
After that conservation, you got out of bed to get something to eat. You saw your dad in the living room, watching the race. "Where's Mom?" you asked.

"She went to get groceries after church. She should be home soon." he said.
You went ahead and fixed lunch. You made a sandwich and apple slices with peanut butter. You put your food on a tray and went back into your room. You grabbed the remote and watched Netflix.
You heard a car pull into the garage. Your mom is home from getting groceries. She came into the house with loads of bags. You and your dad helped her unload everything and put it all away. For the rest of day, you lounged in your room until it was time to go to bed.
~~~~~~~~~~
It's Monday. Only four more days until you fly out to California for the premiere. You, Kendra, and Gwen met up as usual. Your phone vibrated in your pocket. You got a text from Wes.
He said: "Here it is. The trailer for the Scorch Trials." There was a video along with the text.
You gasped when you saw that. "What? What is it?" Gwen asked.
"It's from Wes. He sent me the trailer for the movie." you said.
Their faces lit up.
"Come on. Let's go find some place quiet to watch it." Kendra suggested.
The three of you went into the Science hallway. You tapped on the video and turned the volume all the way up. It's happening. The second movie of the Maze Runner series is about to unfold. The three of you were blown away by the trailer. It was really well done.
The rest of the week went by in a slow pace. You had a test or a quiz in one or two of your classes every day. You just have to hold on until Friday.
'Please hurry up!' you thought.

Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!

Art of Mortality
New Synopsis after chapter 56: Long long ago, there was a mortal who despised the gods and envied the immortals. Why do the mortals have to die when the gods wish them to? Why do worlds have to perish when the gods say so? Why do only immortals get to live forever, why not mortals like him? As his family, friends, and his loved one died, he lamented. He wailed, he cried. He cursed the immortals, blasphemed the gods, spat at the heavens. But he was just a mere mortal. His curses were pointless, his blasphemous words were useless, and his spits only returned back to fall on his face. At last, he thought, enough was enough, he would definitely do something about it. He decided that it was time for the multiverse to know what a mortal can do. He was the first mortal to cultivate. Eventually, after a long struggle, he killed the Immortals, enslaved the Gods, and shattered the heavens. He reshaped the multiverse and rewrote his fate. In the end, he reincarnated as he decided upon a grand scheme, a scheme to rule 'All and Always'. He came up with the concept of what is known today as 'Paragon'. And with this, all of reality, 'All and Always', was finally reforming, according to a Mortal's Wish. Synopsis (Old): In the vast and complex multiverse, what can a mortal accomplish? In the grand scheme of things, what can a mortal change? In truth, what is a mortal, and what is mortality? Being mortal is being ordinary, the same as being trash, or so says The World. "No, mortality is an art, and a true mortal is a grand artist. Being the root of all, a mortal can become anything.", says a young mortal boy. Meet Edward Alexander, a mortal boy walking the path against gods and immortals, fighting to the end to rewrite his destiny, and change the grand scheme of things. Can he really change the grand scheme of things? Or maybe he himself is the Grand Schemer? To know the answer, follow Edward Alexnder on his journey to demonstrate the Art of Mortality.*******
