The Next Day
The sites are now trending following my disclosure of the highly confidential documents. I woke up everyday to see positive comments about the Reagan administration getting better as the American people now know the reason why we went on the run. Lucas Wintergreen is transfered to a max security prison on an uncharted location in Alaska.
His lawyers are now scrambling, because of the incriminating evidence I have revealed to the public. Now sentenced to life in prison on multiple counts : treason, assassination attempt upon the president and vice president, illegal arms trade, the murder of a head of state and acts of mass destruction. Director Fox and Director Harkavy now looked at me with respect after we came back from the base in Alaska. Sitting in my office I kept smiling as I answered Christian's call.
"Damn it all, I wish I was there. I missed all the adventure!" He practically screamed.
"If you're that lucky Chris. America's safe for now, but our work continues."
"Oh and by the way, regards from my father and grandfather. Congratulations upon your accension to the position of vice president."
"Thanks." I said. "The team's okay? I'm not in charge for quite some time now."
"We're still adapting to the lifestyle here. The team is still okay."
"Well... I have a feeling that we'll be called into action."
"Hope that will come true." He said.
"I'm still looking out for a new Chief of Staff."
"Sorry, not interested in politics anymore."
"I know. Not all of us are talented."
"But you surely are one of the fiercest player in the arena."
"If you've watched the series House Of Cards, you'll understand something."
"Speaking of the series... Adrian and Camilla binge watched the series."

"And?"
"They're just glad that this administration is not like what happened in the TV series."
"Don't believe in that. Things could change, there is no way we can know what will happen."
"True." Then someone knocked at the door of my office.
"Yes?" I asked, pressing a hand against my phone.
"Madam Vice President, the president wished to see you in the Oval Office." The Secret Service agent reported outside the doors.
"I'll be there." I said.
"Work already?"
"I'm afraid so. Talk to you later Chris." Exiting the office the agents walked behind me, still dressed in their sharply tailored suits and wearing high tech earpieces. Reaching the Oval Office I held the door knobs and opened the doors. Stepping into the Oval Office was already waiting on his desk, report papers on his desk. "Good morning Mr. President."
"Good morning to you Madam Vice President." Dad replied. "Let us discuss our work today, the purpose of this meeting." Dad said, a smile lingering on his face.

Magriculture
When Aurum Industries announced the first Full Immersion Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (FIVRMMORPG if you're hip) Limitless Online, most people saw it as an opportunity to live out their sword and sorcery fantasies. John, however, saw it as the opening of a new and as of yet uncrowded job market. One he was willing, and eager, to exploit. Determined to make money through virtual hard work and effort, John sets his sights not on the heights of magic or the perfection of the sword, but instead upon the tilling of the soil and the sowing of seeds as he explores the wide and wonderful world of magical agriculture all from the comfort of his own bed. Disclaimer: This is, at best, a very rough draft. I have already had to do one major rewrite and several minor rewrites of entire sections of the story, and it is a virtual certainty I will have to do re-writes again. Such changes may be as small as editing a few numbers (such as going back and changing how much mana an object holds) or it may force me to re-write entire chapters (this has happened once already, and I'm really hoping it doesn't happen again, but... life). Minor re-writes will probably never be posted here. Major rewrites probably will.Anyway, what this boils down to is: If you're looking for a fully cohesive story with few to no errors and publisher level editing, this is not the story for you. If your looking for a cohesive plot that's more than "Man farms, man farms, man farms well, man maybe makes money" you're probably also in the wrong place, but I will attempt to entertain you anyway.

On the Other Side
Sappers lead the way. It was a slogan Jake had heard a million times, but he never thought it would apply to leading the way into another world. Stuck in a new universe with new rules that resemble an RPG, can this former combat engineer with poor social skills survive or even better, lead his fellow survivors to thrive? This was written contemporaneously with Now That's Entertainment, with different characters and mechanics. I've decided to post both in hopes of comparing how they do. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Post does contain harsh language, realistic depictions of violence,

Tartaros
Depends on what side you are, you have heard two stories what happened 15 years ago. One side says that a rebel trio Gorgos fought against the opressive goverment of Ashphodea, only known as gods, and won. In other side's story, a terrorist organization called the Gorgos started their reign of terror 15 years ago after taking over a correction facility only known as Tartaros. Edan had heard the first story, Andi had known the second. Edan, son of Medusa, the most known of the Gorgos, and Andi, daughter of the assitant to the Ashphodea's golden boy Perseus, are both sick of the secrets their parents keep from them. They want answers, and they are going to get them, with our without their mothers help. ——— This is a re telling of the myth of Medusa in a dystopian setting, where a the Gorgos are the teen rebel archetypes now in their thrities, war isn't as black and white as you think, and the gods are as ruthless as they always were.
