《Invincible Ones [A Walking Dead Story]》Chapter 4- Wat❓
Advertisement
I went to my cell, change into a navy blue T-shirt and leggings and fall asleep the way a book falls off a shelve: first slowly, then all at once.
I woke up and Beth said that Glenn and Maggie went on a run to get some things for Judith.
I still stayed in bed, I'm so tired for some reason. "Wakey, Wakey, Ember." Daryl says at the doorway. I moan and bury my face into my pillow.
"I'm tirrrreeeeeeeeeed." I complain.
"Hey, it's not like you need your beauty sleep. That doesn't work." Daryl teases.
"Yeah, shush. I'm getting up." I mumble and Daryl leaves.
I get dressed in my usual wear and realize how unkempt my blond hair is. Meh, whatever.
I ate a granola bar for breakfast and everyone was worried about Maggie and Glenn, they haven't came back yet. I was at the fence, waiting for them to arrive.
"Rick!" I shout and I point to the fence where a woman was. She had a red basket in her hand. The woman collapses and Rick doesn't do anything, she was bleeding. Walkers go for her, but someone was gunning them down-it was Carl. I start gunning 'em down too.
"Carl, Ember!" Rick yells as Carl and I rush to open the gates.
We all brought the woman in and Hershel treats her gunshot wound.
"It's full of baby stuff..." I say as I rummage through the basket. I look up at Carl with wide eyes. "Why would she...?" I ask, my voice trailing off.
~a few hours later~
Rick interrogates her and walks out of the cell. "...Merle took Maggie and Glenn. He was with a man named The Governor..." Rick says and things go blurry. No...no. After five years Merle can't out of-the-blue be alive. That's impossible. I collapse to the ground and everything goes dark.

Ember passes out and Daryl and I rush to her. "I got her." I tell Daryl and he nods. I gather her up in my arms and lay her down on her bed.
"My brother is alive?" Daryl says in disbelief.
"Uh, so alive Ember is in shock." Beth mumbles as she rushes to Ember's side.
"That's what the woman said." My dad says.
"Did you catch her name?" Carol asks my dad (Rick).
"She seemed to know who we are." My dad says vaguely. So I'm guessing she didn't tell him her name.
"We need to go get Maggie and Glenn." Hershel says.
"I need to talk to Merle." Daryl concludes and there was a shifty silence.
"Do you think that's a good idea?" My dad asks him.
Daryl's eyes harden. "He's my brother." He finalizes and walks out of the cell block.
"Umm...what about your unconscious little sister?" Beth yells after him and I try to hold in a smirk.
"Don't worry, he'll come around." I say and I sat down next to Beth. She was seventeen. "So, she just passed out? She'll wake up soon, right?" I ask Beth and she nods.
"Yeah, it was just too hard for her to take in. I've been in shock before, but in her case it's just that she's unconscious." Beth clarifies and I nod.

Rise for the Sky [Slow-Pace Multi-Lead Dungeon Crawler]
Sixty people have awoken at the bottom of a one hundred floor dungeon. Together they must confront the terror of monsters and seek the answers to why they are here. Expectations: This story is written from multiple perspectives, male and female. Most chapters are a single person, but there will be chapters where there are a couple of quick scenes with different people. The story does take place in a dungeon, but there is no leveling system. This a realistic take on the classic litRPG and iskai tropes written like a traditional novel. There is a profanity warning because I wish to be natural with how people talk and cursing is a thing people do. So it will happen where it makes sense. Gore is warned because this is a realistic take, and people will be torn apart by monsters. I don't plan to be overly detailed with it but be warned it will happen. Updates Every Monday. Chapters will be between 3,000 to 5,000 words. Fulfill Patreon goals to increase updates

The Elemental Arena
*A Rational-Adjacent litRPG Survival Series.* The time for the trials has come, pitting the mortal species of the galaxy against one another. By completing challenges, clearing dungeons, and defeating rival species, the players may forge themselves stronger and smarter. But only one species will be declared the winner. Earth has finally qualified... ...and participation is mandatory. A twenty-nine year old data entry clerk works together with a group of internationally diverse players to survive. Learning synergistic skills and using teamwork, can humanity achieve an upset? If they don't, their lives are forfeit. Author's note: Chapters will be anywhere from 6k to 10k in words, varying based on the plot beats instead of specific word counts. Realistic actions and teamwork will be important aspects of my story. I'm trying something a little different in writing a realism focused litRPG, hoping to capture the essence of how real people would react to their situation. People are complex and don't always get along. I don't recommend starting the series expecting wish fulfillment tropes just because it's tagged litRPG. It's a survival story with the game settings on Hell difficulty. The plot hasn't gotten there yet, but in the future of the series I want to recreate my nostalgia of forty person raids on Ragnaros, but with the high stakes of boss battles in Sword Art Online. I also love puzzle rooms so expect one of those each book. Warnings: mild PG-rated language, graphic violence and gore, and graphic medical content.

Everyone, that is, except Samuel Carter.Sam was somehow overlooked.

Now Sam is on the wrong side of 40, raising a teenage daughter as a single father, and dealing with bureaucracy as a member of the Other World Research Division -- until a summoning circle opens and transports them to another world.* * * * *Author's Note: You should expect In Another World with my Daughter to read as a first draft, unpolished, with some typos and occasional grammatical errors. I write rather methodically, so my first drafts are pretty solid. Time permitting, you may receive second draft quality.This is an Isekai style epic fantasy adventure, where the MC is summoned into another world full of swords, magic, and things with sharp teeth. Lip service will be paid to appropriate tropes. A personal goal of at least 1,000,000 words has been set.Readers should expect a total of 20-40k words per month.Input for story direction will be considered as appropriate.Royalty free image credit: Stefan Keller @ Pixabay

Will include an OP MC, power levels, spell casting, magic academy, adventuring, dungeons, fighting monsters, romance, comedy. Suggestions welcome. Tagged with sexual content for the sporadic sexual scenes. Will be vanilla but graphic. Not the focus of story.
