VERONICA [Spoken]:
September 1st, 1989. Dear Diary: I believe I'm a good person.
Ya know, I think there's good in everyone, but here we are first day of senior year.
I look around at all these kids I've known all my life and I ask myself: What happened?
KIDS:
Freak! Slut! Burnout! Bug-eyes! Poser! Lard-ass!
VERONICA:
We were so tiny, happy and shiny, playing tag and getting chased.
KIDS:
Freak! Slut! Loser! Shortbus!
VERONICA:
Singing and clapping,
laughing and napping,
baking cookies, eating paste.
KIDS:
Bull-dyke! Stuck-up! Hunchback!
VERONICA:
Then we got bigger.
That was the trigger,
Like the Huns invading Rome -
[Spoken] Sorry!
Welcome to my school,
This ain't no high school:
This is the Thunderdome.
Hold your breath
and count the days,
we're graduating soon.
KIDS:
White trash!
VERONICA:
College will be paradise
If I'm not dead by June!
But I know, I know, life can be beautiful.
I pray, I pray for a better way.
If we changed back then,
we could change again.
We can be beautiful...
(A PREPPY STUD knocks a HIPSTER DORK to the floor.)
HIPSTER DORK [Spoken]:
Ow!
VERONICA:
Just not today.
[Spoken] Hey, are you okay?
HIPSTER DORK:
Get away, nerd.
KIDS:
Freak! Slut! Cripple! Homo! Homo! Homo!
VERONICA:
Things will get better
soon as my letter
comes from Harvard, Duke, or Brown.
Wake from this coma,
take my diploma,
then I can blow this town.
Dream of my ivy-covered walls
and smoky French cafes...
(VERONICA jostles RAM SWEENEY.)
RAM [Spoken]:
Watch it!
VERONICA:
Fight the urge to strike a match and send this dump ablaze!
(RAM upends VERONICA'S lunch tray.)
RAM:
Ooooops.
VERONICA [Spoken]:

Ram Sweeney. Third year as linebacker.
And eighth year of smacking lunch trays and BEING A HUGE DICK.
RAM:
What did you say to me skank?
VERONICA:
... Nothing.
VERONICA & KIDS:
But I know, I know, I know...
Life can be beautiful.
I pray, I pray, I pray
For a better way.
We were kind before;
we can be kind once more.
We can be beautiful...
(MARTHA approaches.)
VERONICA:
Agh!... Hey Martha.
MARTHA:
Hey.
(MARTHA helps VERONICA pick up her tray.)
VERONICA:
Martha Dunnstock. My best friend since diapers.
MARTHA:
We on for movie night?
VERONICA:
Yeah, you're on Jiffy Pop detail.
MARTHA:
I rented "The Princess Bride."
VERONICA:
Again? Don't you have it memorized by now?
MARTHA:
What can I say? I'm a sucker for a happy ending.
KURT:
Martha Dumptruck! Wide load! Honnnnnk!
(KURT KELLY knocks the tray from MARTHA'S hands.)
VERONICA:
Kurt Kelly. Quarterback. He is the smartest guy on the football team.
Which is kind of like being the tallest dwarf.
(Furious, to KURT) Hey! Pick that up right now!
KURT:
I'm sorry, are you actually talking to me?
VERONICA:
Yes, I am. I wanna know what gives you the right to pick on my friend.
You're a high school has-been waiting to happen. A future gas station attendant.
KURT:
... You have a zit right there...
VERONICA & KIDS:
(Variously)
Dear diary: why....
Why do they hate me?
Why don't I fight back?
Why do I act like such a creep? (VERONICA: Why....)
Why won't he date me?
Why did I hit him?
Why do I cry myself to sleep? (VERONICA: Why....)
Somebody hug me!
Somebody fix me!
Somebody save me!
Send me a sign, God!
Give me some hope here!
Something to live for!
(The three HEATHERS enter.)
KIDS:
Ah!... Heather, Heather, and Heather!
VERONICA:
[Spoken.] Then there's the Heathers. They float above it all.

KIDS:
(Repeating.) I love Heather, Heather, and Heather.
VERONICA:
Heather McNamara. Head cheerleader. Her dad's loaded - he sells engagement rings.
KIDS:
I hate Heather, Heather, and Heather!
VERONICA:
Heather Duke. Runs the yearbook. No discernible personality, but her mom did pay for implants.
KIDS:
I want Heather, Heather, and Heather!
VERONICA:
And Heather Chandler. The Almighty.
KIDS:
I need Heather, Heather, and Heather...
VERONICA:
She is a mythic bitch. They are solid Teflon - never bothered, never harassed.
I would give anything to be like that.
HIPSTER DORK:
I'd like to be their boyfriend.
KIDS:
That would be beautiful...
STONER CHICK:
If I sat at their table, guys would notice me.
KIDS:
So beautiful...
MARTHA:
I'd like them to be nicer.
KIDS:
That would be beautiful...
BELEAGUERED GEEK:
I'd like to kidnap a Heather and photograph her naked in an abandoned warehouse
and leave her tied up for the rats!
(VERONICA enters the girls' bathroom.
HEATHER CHANDLER and MCNAMARA are watching HEATHER DUKE vomit into a toilet.)
HEATHER CHANDLER:
Grow up, Heather. Bulimia is so '87.
HEATHER MCNAMARA:
Maybe you should see a doctor, Heather.
HEATHER DUKE:
Yeah, Heather. Maybe I should.
MS. FLEMING:
Ah, Heather and Heather.
(HEATHER DUKE vomits.)
... and Heather. Perhaps you didn't hear the bell over all the vomiting. You're late for class.
(VERONICA scribbles on a piece of paper.)
HEATHER CHANDLER:
Heather wasn't feeling well. We're helping her.
MS. FLEMING:
Not without a hall pass you're not. A week's detention.
VERONICA:
Actually, Ms. Fleming, all four of us are out on a hall pass. Yearbook committee.
MS. FLEMING:
... I see you're all listed. Hurry up and get where you're going.
HEATHER CHANDLER:
This is an excellent forgery. Who are you?
VERONICA:
Veronica Sawyer. I crave a boon.
HEATHER CHANDLER:
What boon?
VERONICA:
Let me sit at your table at lunch. Just once. No talking necessary.
If people think you guys tolerate me, they'll leave me alone....
Before you answer, I also do report cards, permission slips and absence notes.
HEATHER DUKE:
How about prescriptions?
HEATHER CHANDLER:
Shut up, Heather.
HEATHER DUKE:
Sorry, Heather.
(HEATHER CHANDLER inspects VERONICA'S face.)
HEATHER CHANDLER:
For a greasy little nobody, you do have good bone structure.
HEATHER MCNAMARA:
And a symmetrical face. If I took a meat cleaver down the center of your skull,
I'd have matching halves. That's very important.
HEATHER DUKE:
Of course, you could stand to lose a few pounds.
HEATHER CHANDLER:
And ya know, ya know, ya know?
This could be beautiful.
Mascara, maybe some lip gloss,
and we're on our way.
Get this girl some blush;
And Heather, I need your brush.
Let's make her beautiful.
HEATHER MCNAMARA:
Let's make her beautiful...
HEATHER DUKE:
Let's make her beautiful...
HEATHER CHANDLER:
Make her beautiful...
Okay?
VERONICA:
Okay!
(Another day, another hellish lunch.)
KURT:
Out of my way geek!
BELEAGUERED GEEK:
I don't want any trouble!
RAM:
You're gonna die at 3pm!
REPUBLICANETTE & NEW WAVE GIRL:
Don't you dare touch me! Get away, pervert!
BELEAGUERED GEEK:
What'd I ever do to them?
KIDS:
Who could survive this?
I can't escape this!
I think I'm dying!
MS. FLEMING:
Who's that with Heather?
(THE HEATHERS enter again...)
KIDS:
Whoa. Heather, Heather, Heather...
NEW WAVE GIRL:
And... someone!
KIDS:
Heather, Heather, Heather...
GOWAN & COACH:
And a babe!
KIDS:
Heather, Heather, Heather...
MARTHA:
Veronica?!
KIDS:
Veronica? Veronica? Veronica?!
(THE HEATHERS part, revealing a smoking hot VERONICA who has been given a make-over.)
VERONICA & KIDS:
(Variously.) And ya know,
ya know, ya know
life can be beautiful.
You hope, you dream, you pray,
and you get your way!
Ask me how it feels
looking like hell on wheels...
My God, it's beautiful!
I might be beautiful
And when you're beautiful...
It's a beautiful frickin' day!
KIDS:
Heather... Veronica!
Heather! Heather!
Heather... Veronica!
VERONICA:
Veronica! Veronica!
KIDS:
Veronica! Veronica!

Trial by Conquest: A Battle-Royale, Civilisation Build-Off LitRPG
This is the Trial by Conquest — a battle-royale, civilisation, build-off. Lose and you die. Win and you rule over your new fantasy world as king! Maximus Rum would rather not die. In fact, right now what he’d most rather is find his pants and figure out what the hell is going on. The beach he woke up on is empty and quiet. But he’d better get a move on. The Trial has already begun. Note: I am not intending to write this as a harem story. However, if you believe that a man knowing and having sex with women constitutes a harem, and if that is not your bag, please consider this your warning. Genre: A village-building, dungeoncrawling, LitRPG — taking inspiration from games such as HoMM, Civilization, ANNO, TotalWar, Warcraft, and others. Tone: Mostly 'hell, yeah!' fun with occasional dips into darkness. May contain: Violence, combat, fights, etc. Sexual humour, references, descriptions, and debatably non-explicit acts. Moral ambiguity and occasional sophistication. Nuts.

A Personal Hell for A Winged Killer
Metam, a super-continent which is divided into 5 different districts, is home to a world of superpowers. The last known survivor of the sleep clan, Miya, lives in the Capital City of the Eastern District, Hinansho City, or the City of Refuge, and although she has lived for 23 years, she only remembers her life from the moment she had her first day at Eastward Social Academy, a college of mercenaries that ranges across all three cities of the Eastern District. In school, she meets a group of the strongest students in Eastward who hold her in high regard, teaching her about the history of the world around her and training her in battle techniques so that she can go on missions with them to fight “the Hole.” Eight Generals lie beneath the Sultan of the Organization, Rigkt of the Curse, as they attempt to establish a new world order, dethroning the reigning Central District Government that controls most districts. To gather her memories, Miya sets out to gain the power to protect her friends so that she can one day take back her memories. ———————————————————————————An underlying evil lurks close to her, bearing wings of pure white and an immortal body. A dead man walking who killed the most powerful alliance in Metam’s history looms around her, grooming her to become powerful. Her “friends” know much more about her than she thinks; they are not who she thinks they are.

Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire
Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.

A Canopy of Stars
Arden, planet of a billion souls, has been destroyed. A solar body, known only as The Dark Star collided with the world, shattering it. Through the actions of ancient heroes, and the sacrifice of the Gods, life found a way. Floating through the black sea of space, orbiting the destructive beauty of The Dark Star is Shatter, a coalition of continental rocks, surviving as best they can. Through magic and technological advancements, the fractured remnants of the planet have been made halfway habitable. In addition to shattering the prime material plane of Arden, The Dark Star’s destructive force also fractured the planar system, collapsing ancient barriers and forcing the wild elemental and chaotic magics of the planes into conjunction. The Kingfisher, helmed by the enigmatic and powerful Captain Thunder and her miscreant crew, do odd jobs to survive, operating outside of the law. One such job takes them to the shard of Evergreen, a fragment of planet covered in brilliant forests and the capricious and deadly faerie folk who call them home. Unfortunately, while the job seems simple enough from the outside, it quickly embroils the crew of the Kingfisher in a dangerous storm. Can Thunder and her crew keep to the sidelines when war is brewing around them?

B1nary Bl00d
Hello everybody, BoredNerdBooks here. In this web novel I bring back to life the story Binary blood. For those of you who have read the Original, my story operates with the same basic premise but with a few changes like who the main character is and to how the LitRPG, mission, shop, and classes work.(I made them more powerful) And now to the real synopsis. So a weird day starts when you wake up in an escape pod hurtling towards a planet with no idea how you got there. A terrible day is when you get attacked by weird semi-robotic monsters. And an absolutely AWESOME day ends with you getting superpowers because of it. Many thanks to The Irregular for giving me permission to write this. Also, I do not own the cover image if whoever owns it wants it down contact me and I will replace it.
