《the unwanted twin》chapter 1
Advertisement
Both Lexi and Emilia were called to the principals office at 2pm, when they saw each other they both glared at the other. Despite this they were both curious as too why they had both been called.
Lexi put on an innocent smile when they were told to enter "I'm not in any trouble am I" she asked fluttering her eyes.
"No of course not, but I have been told you need to go down to that station. Mrs Smith is here to accompany you" the principal replied.
Lexi and Emilia had no idea who Mrs Smith was but she looked friendly however she also had a sad look.
"Why don't you both get your stuff from your lockers girls" Mrs Smith said.
Thankfully Lexi decided to speak up "I'm sorry I don't mean to sound rude but I don't know who are you"
Emilia was thankful Lexi asked this as she wanted to know too.
"I'm with social services dear"
"Are mum and dad okay" Lexi asks
"Let's just get you girls down to the station"
Time skip
Emilia and Lexi were taken to a small conference area in the police station, only minutes later two police officers walked in with Mrs Smith.
Lexi was bouncing her leg up and down, she was nervous but Emilia still had the stone cold expression. Whatever they were about to tell them, it couldn't be worse than what they did to her.
"I'm officer Williams and this is officer Long" one of them introduced.
"What's going on officer" Lexi asked with a sickly sweet tone making Emilia cringe.
"Well girls we are sorry to pull you out of school like we did but your parents have been arrested for the possession of class A drugs and after investigating we believe them to be involved in other criminal activity"

Lexi knew they did drugs and didn't see a problem with it whereas Emilia knew and hated it.
"So what will happen to us" Lexi asked again sickly sweet tone, she even managed a few tears.
"Well girls usually we would put you in the system however after a quick check it turns out you have family, 4 brothers and your biological father in Italy" Mrs Smith said.
Emilia couldn't help think the worst, it would be just more people to hurt her, more rules and more abuse.
They would give Lexi the world and she would be abused.
"We have contacted your biological father and he has agreed to take you in. He will meet you at the airport when you get off the plane. We will go to your home and you can both pack but then we need to get to the airport, you guys have a flight to catch"
Earlier.
Alessandro had just finished a business deal for the day, he had passed the Mafia onto Damon a few years ago so he rarely worked anymore but when he did, he became the brutal and vicious mafia boss all over again. He spared no one. His son's had learnt everything from him, especially Damon who was so much worse.
No one dared defied Damon or Alessandro. Ever.
As he got ready to head home, he received a call, it was a US number which intrigued him. It was probably from his US clients or something but he anwsered anyway. He was in no mood to be messed around so it better be good news.
"Hello is this Mr Russo" a woman asked.
"Yes, who is this" Alessandro asked half paying attention, he was bored of the woman already.
"I am Mrs Smith from child services. Earlier today Alice and Henry Morgan were arrested for the possession of drugs, we always prefer to keep children with their birth family before sending them into the system, so we are calling to ask if you would like to become the guardian of Alexia and Emilia Morgan"

he nearly dropped the phone when he heard this. Alexia and Emilia were coming home.
"Yes of course. Where are they now" his attention was solely focused on the woman on the other end of the phone.
"They are currently at school but we are about to notify them of the current situation"
"Okay great, I will meet them tommorow morning at the airport here, I'll send over plane tickets now"
And within a few minutes, Alessandro had purchased two plane tickets to Italy and had them sent to Mrs Smith. He was beyond happy now that his two princesses were finally coming home.

Thomas the Brawler
Thomas doesn't remember what his last name was, before it became Bluebrim, a name belonging to another universe. He's also pretty sure he wasn't this stupid before he arrived, but what can you do, when a day that was supposed to begin with an interview to set your life back on track instead begins in a universe that makes no sense, with rules you can't begin to understand? Maybe he should have paid more attention to the avatar creation screen ... Content warnings: All of them. Seriously. Expect lots of blue screens to begin with. Don't expect a power-leveling fantasy, in which the lone hero beats up all the bad guys, and gets a harem of women. There's just a guy who treats character creation like an annoying series of pop-up advertisements, and the story is basically the ramifications of that. The main character has to learn to take the world he's found himself in seriously, and he'll learn the way most of us do, by doing it wrong first. This is, insofar as it is successful, a dark comedy fantasy. Also a bit of horror, particularly but not exclusively body horror. I'm pretty sure I've earned those Content Warning tags, so, uh, yeah. This is practice. Hopefully things improve as I go, and figure out what I'm doing wrong, but I make no guarantees things will ever get better. I've already made mistakes, I'll make more, and I'm happy to notice them each time I make them. You don't improve unless you fail. (On the plus side, it probably won't get much worse.) Feel free to point out anything you think I'm doing wrong; I don't promise to change anything, particularly if it's a matter of taste, but I am looking to improve, and figuring out what I need to improve goes faster if I don't have to try to figure it out myself. I've updated the earlier chapters for formatting, in the hope that it would make everything easier to read on mobile devices. Hopefully things work slightly better now, but please let me know if there are any issues anywhere.

The Beta Test
Our nameless narrator participates in a beta test for an early VRMMO game Meridian 60. That's not the real name but it captures the spirit of the adventure given the chronological and contextual era of the game. His character is unique and special but purely for mundane reasons and not because of any inherent or social significance. The first chapter which is mandatory to submit a story on RR serves as a bit of a prologue with some exposition, although I limited that to a reasonble level. I plan to begin releasing additional chapters starting Thursday, to align with the 48 hour submission approval process and also because I have something to do Wednesday. I haven't written anything but the summary and first chapter, nor have I plotted anything out. This is because my plan is to release roughly 34000 words a day, 10 chapters of ~12.5 pages each, for 3 days at which point the story will be complete. I'd have liked to plan for more but handling the interface tables and so forth needed for a data heavy litrpg slows down the writing process. 100k words is a bit short, a standard pre epic fantasy 300 page spec fic novel, but this is mostly a writing exercise and I am considering a longer project if I can maintain the pace. Probably do a different concept, maybe a dungeon core, over 5 days, since a 500 page novel is more common these days. Slight subversion of VRMMO stories Stat heavy/crunchy No paying your bills by gaming No out of game conspiracies No angst, interpersonal drama, or damsels/dudes in distress Schedule is 30000 words a day excepting the first chapter, a limitation of RRs fiction submission system Fantasy, high magic, male lead, no party, guild, or harem No gore, some profanity, no sexual content, and no current plans for anything traumatic
