IN THE COLLEGE,
Nandini and Manik went to their dorms. Every dorm has 4 beds each. Nandini now has three dormmates- Navya(architecture department), Mukti(computer sciences), Alia(computer sciences). Nandini entered her dorm and only Navya was there.
Navya - Hello! welcome. Myself Navya. What about you?
Nandini - Hello! Myself Nandini!
Navya - Nice
Nandini moved to a bed and was about to organise her stuff when...
Navya - Ahhh! Wait, This one is taken. Yours is this side's down one. Sorry, you didn't got to choose. But all three came before you so....
Nandini - oh! It's okay. But where are those two?
Navya - (with deep sigh) Both are already taken. So, they are roaming around college with their better halves.
Nandini - Oh (both burst in laughter)
Navya - Hey! you are so beautiful.
Nandini - Thank you. You are not less than anyone too.
Nandini got along with Navya quite nicely already. But there was still no sign for Alia and Mukti.
Meanwhile, Manik went to his dorm too but unlike Nandini, his dorm was empty just two beds were messed up. He got all his stuff out and organised it. His two dormmates are- Abhimanyu(Mukti's boyfriend) and Dhruv(Alia's boyfriend). His all dormmates are in computer science departments. His one dormmate- Kabir Dhawan was not there. As per the information provided to him, he would report anytime in college within five days. Finally, here comes Abhimanyu and Dhruv after two hours.
Abhimanyu - Hey handsome, what's your name?
Manik - Are you talking to me?
Abhimanyu - yes. So, can you please trouble to tell your name!
Manik - I am Manik. What about you two?
Abhimanyu - Hello, I'm Abhimanyu Diwan.
Dhruv - hello, Myself Dhruv.
Manik - Hello, Nice to meet you. Hope we will get along well.
Dhruv - Don't worry, we already have.
Abhimanyu - But I must say you are the most handsome out of all the freshers. So, it means now our dorm is all famous. (they all started to drink coffee, which Manik just prepared) By the way, we two already have girlfriends. What about you??

Manik was drinking water but after listening he choked it. The two rushed to help him and made him fine.
Manik - I don't have any. And I don't want.
Abhimanyu - Don't worry. With such killer looks, you will have one soon.
Dhruv - Just cut the crap. We haven't introduced ourselves yet.
Manik - But I know your names. You just told it.
Dhruv - No, No, No. Wait. The professional introduction.
Dhruv and Abhimanyu - (both got up) We are the best hacker and programmers. And are called 'The Programmer Duo' of our school.
Manik - (firstly smiled awkwardly then with both thumbs up) I believe in you guys. Fighting(while continuously nodding his head and turning around)
Abhimanyu - Did he just taunt us??
Dhruv - I think so too.
Abhimanyu - Forget it. He is just a pure soul. We forgive him.
(all burst in laughter)
They all started to have fun with each other and got along.
As Abhimanyu and Dhruv reached to their dorms, Mukti and Alia reached to theirs too. In girls dorm(Nandini's dorm)
Mukti - Hello girls, (looking at Nandini) We have met Navya. What's your name?
Nandini - I'm Nandini, you guys??
Alia - Hello Nandini, myself Alia. Nice to meet you.
Nandini - ohh, (pointing at Mukti) then you are Mukti right?
Mukti - yeah girl.
Nandini - Nice to meet you two.
Mukti - Now, our dorm is surely going to be famous as we are all beauties.
Alia - Right. You got the point.
Mukti's phone rung and it was Abhimanyu. She moved to balcony to answer the call.
Abhimanyu - Hey Mukti, online freshers beauty contest has started. Go register yourself and Alia. I am sure you will win.
Mukti - Ok, bye bye.

The Bettor's Oath [A Dark-Modern LITRPG]
We live in a world where the rabbit’s foot helped win the game. Following that logic, tell me, what happens when the odds are flipped against the strong and a god rises to give the weak their right for revenge?~Last segment of the First Monarch's speech before the Lablanca battle. Lothar Ardolf, an alcoholic 27 years old high school teacher, was one of the many men who failed to catch up to life.When everyone around him worked to leave a mark behind, he idled away between states of short sobriety and static numbness, hoping that one day everything would resolve itself. It took little to wake him up. Only a life, soul, and body changing experience.Thrust into a world of cheap power and tyrannical governments, where a man could rival what is true and alter what is false, he was tasked by an elusive being with befalling titans.He wakes up in a prison with a path laid in front of him; one that would challenge all the resolve he has and more. Intertwined in a convoluted scheme of politics and old grudges, he will need to learn how to wield his new powers in order to escape before the secrets of the prison threaten to unravel him.However, he shortly realizes that his new faded fantasy was not a fairy tale. All that awaits him in the end, for standing against the world, is death. That is, if the three sided coin lands on heads. If it lands on tails... The shadowbane army rises. ...... This story is a neo-noir dark LITRPG in a world similar to earth. Take the tags seriously. I've been working on this project for 6 months and my MC is a bit unconventional, so I'm excited to introduce you all to him. Beware, it will be a slow-burn, so please be patient. The main plot will start to kick up at around chapter 15. I will be writing about racists, rapists, cultists and horrible humans. I do not condone or excuse their behavior or choice of words but the first arc will be in a prison and (some) prisoners don't mince their words. My MC doesn't adapt to the new world immediately because that is not realistic at all. It takes time and because of his personality, it will take more than a system to convince him to do someone else's bidding ;) Each chapter will have around 3000+ (give or take) words. I will be updating 2-3 times a week (depending on how busy I am with work and/or college) when I'm done publishing my backlog (Which is very big, 40,000+ words). **Each comment gets rep! Cover art by @tahraart on Instagram. Link to discord: https://youtu.be/91wX0NRjJqg Have a good one, Pistol. **** THE STORY IS ON TEMPORARY HIATUS. WE WILL BE BACK IN 2 MONTHS. SORRY EVERYONE.

Decompose!
Dear diary. When you read stories about some people missing and returning after years of absence claiming they were living in another world, your first reaction is to scoff and dismiss a story as a tall tale, right? I know I did. All the time. Until it happened to me and I no longer did. That day was today. Some god of thunder smote me. If it were Chris Hemsworth, I wouldn't mind but it was some barbaric Hitite god that abaondned Earth some four millennia ago. Yes, what can I say? I love the seventh art. I have more hours watching movies than any other activity, including sleep. What? Do you think I'm exaggerating? Maybe I am. I'll really miss hollywood the most. And my biggest regret is that I never got to visit the holy city of cinema. I did not come to another world to be a hero even though there was hints that they hoped I'd save it. I did not come with overpowered abilities able to, dunno, leap tall castles in a single bound, faster than a speeding crossbow bolt, be more powerful than a eight-horse carriage, the bounds. No. After the asshole god that murdered me brought me to his world, he gave me some boons from his discount bin and "The Power of my Soul (tm)". Forgive my french, I hope you understand I am rather upset at dying. And he somehow decided that my power is to recycle stuff. How awesome is that? Not much at first, I must admit. At least I got all my camping stuff and equipment with me. There's no lycra in the other world. I'll make it someday, but that day is not today. So here I am. In another world, in the middle of nowhere. I'm no heroine. As the song goes, I'm your basic average girl. And I'm assumed to be here to save the world. But almost everything can stop me, because I'm not named Kim. Wish me luck, diary. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This novel is going have the following features: slow-paced slice-of-life No GameLit / LitRPG elements. Movie references. Sandra likes the seventh art. Journal / diary style crafting (includes chemistry, engineering and metallurgy) low magic technological advancement (for Sandra, at least. She is not against sharing though) personal relations clash of perception between the modern and ancient customs. bits of tension, fighting, and plot here and there. I won't repeat myself though. Once she crafts a good batch of soap, for example, she'll just note, "I crafted soap again." Once it is estabilished how she obtains compound X, compound X2 that is obtainable from the same process will also just be mentioned. I'll try to be as realistic as I can with the crafting, chemistry, and technology. Cover: Public Domain Image by StockSnap from Pixabay. No attribution required but we do it anyway.

Interface
Welcome to the World-City of Thousel, the sixth iteration of life on the planet. These are the recordings of the people of Thousel. Thousel is believed to be the second longest iteration of life, and the overall most prosperous compared to what we know about the past five iterations. Medicine and technology have all progressed abundantly, and the world itself has been turned into one great city, governed and managed by the Governmental-Company Alliance, or the GCA.These particular recordings concern the discovery of a peculiar machine. When two very different people find themselves bound by the fate of one mysterious bot, life in the World-City begins to change… Interface is a cyberpunk webnovel set in an ecumenopolis world where people evolved with electro-sensory abilities. These senses shape the face of modern technology and life in a world where the three largest corporations run what has effectively become the government. Each of these three companies control various aspects of life in the city, and they all constantly vie for domain and power over one another.The world stands at the precipice of biological, technological, and historical breakthrough. After decades of study into microbiology, archaeology, and geology, it has been discovered that sentient life has lived on the planet multiple times over. These past peoples are referred to as the “prior iterations of life,” and it is believed that five great civilizations were constructed before the rise of the modern world. No one can be sure for certain what caused these peoples’ extinction long ago, and the theories range from simply dying off over time to massive tectonic fractures in the face of the planet. Advanced technology, far more complicated than anything the people possess today, has been uncovered in multiple locations. This has lead scholars to speculate on exactly how long each iteration of life survived and how far they progressed as a society. None of the companies have been able to find a way to make this ancient technology work for their own profit. It is as though they are each missing the final key needed to unlock these centuries old secrets. What could this knowledge reveal about the nature of life across every iteration? What power could it give to the one who wields it?Far from the investigation into the origin of life, two kids unlock a new mystery – one that ties their fates to the discovery of an old, mysterious robot. Suddenly, eyes begin to turn towards them as life in the city of Thousel changes wherever they go…
