"... This is a different voice. Hi?"
"I understand, but I would honestly like to talk to someone specifically if that's okay. In another call, he told me he wore glasses...and has braces? Can you transfer the call to him?"
"No, I don't. All I can tell you that he's really mean, and doesn't seem like he's a happy person. Really sarcastic, but does promote the products at Target well. I guess. He's my therapist."
"I know, yes. And yes, this is the right number. I'm sure he's nerdish-looking so just go with your gut on this."
"C... Okay, thank you."
"...Hmm... his name starts with a C? Maybe a Chris, or Casper maybe. Nah, there's not a lot of Casper's out there. Chris definitely."
"Hello motherfucker! Why aren't you answering calls today?"
"When you made the mistake of talking to me. I'm just bored today and called hoping that you would answer the phone. How is restocking?"
"What's so important? What were you just doing?"
"Exactly. You do nothing. And besides, I just made your shift easier. All you have to do is wait for calls now instead of restocking. Thank me instead of being so mean."
"Who's this bitch?"
"... Although I saw that coming, I feel offended. I thought we were past the cursing and insulting?"
"I'm not crazy."
"Okay, asshole. Going back to the band-aids from yesterday, did you ever check to see if you have them?"
"You checked for me? That's so sweet -"
"Wow. You ruined the moment. A precious and sweet moment."
"Why are you suddenly so curious? I thought you don't give a damn about me. "
"...I need it to cover up my sexy arm. That's the simple answer."
"No, I didn't fall or burn myself. Hey...this is going to sound... like I'm depressed. But I swear I'm working on it-"
"...Am I supposed to apologize now? Sorry? Yeah, I'm sorry."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Hm? No, I'm not. What's up? What's going on with your own call?"
"'This girl'? I don't think there's anything that can make you a professional therapist, but we can check out some books and videos to just give that necessary comfort to your new...friend. I'll help you after my shift ends, okay? You end at five?"
"Of course. See you at five."

A Fool's Journey, or the Vagrancies of a Man in Exotic Lands
What does a sad bastard do when fate, literally, decides to throw him into a fantasy world? Solon just wanted to lead a normal life; work, share some pizza with friends, work, play some videogames or read something, work, maybe sleep?, work... Pretty much the usual, rinse and repeat. It was far from perfect, but life was nicely boring and comfy enough. Truth be told, he had hoped it would go on forever, or until he got married, or until the apocalypse finally decided to bring an end to everything. As far as he could tell, though, the former was about as likely as the latter; not very. And perhaps even somewhat related, if it ever came to it. Unfortunately, he saw himself involved in some sort of cosmic fart that screwed him over, brutally severing his life-plan. Or, maybe, would it be more suitable to say that Fate had other plans? Sure, he's yet to find out exactly what those plans might be, but, at the very least, they do seem to involve him being shoved into another world, fighting off a couple of horrendous creepers, and -almost- an accidental liaison with a baboon. Needless to say, the job doesn't come with dental care, and death seems more likely than retirement... Yep, when he got yoinked out of Earth, there were no princesses waiting for him, no sexy goddesses, and no severe Gandalf-wannabes! Heck, not even a bunch of demonic cultists! All he got for the trouble was a bunch of snarky windows and the honest desire to punch whatever bastard happens to be behind the smug System. Well, that, and a few forced trips to the so-called Tower of Ascension. Not exactly what he would have expected but, on the plus side, he does get to do some magic. Though, not quite the wand-waving kind. Whatever. One thing’s patently clear, though, he’s certainly not the chosen one, nor the summoned hero, nor the Savior. If anything, he himself might be in need of some saving... Just what kind of fool does the System take him for? Please do consider the tags. Also, 'Strong Lead' here means weak to strong, over a decent amount of time, not op from the very beginning. Things to expect: decent grammar, cheeky goats. Things not to expect: Harems, a decent sense of fashion.

Undiminished
A cross-genre story that will start as a zombie game-lit that can evolve into a lit-rpg. It'll revolve around the main character, with very little interaction with other people until the first arc is done. I'll write, more for the synopsis later as the story continues to develop.

A promising oracle, Azarra, is sworn to a life of seclusion and severe vows of chastity for communion with the fateful powers that marked her.

Swathing Drakkon in illusion of deification, she casts him as a Living Light to set her foes aflame. The cult they cultivate comes to ordain a new Aeon, a reign of Thunder. But the fiery storm of their imperium falls as rain of ash. (Fantastical elements inspired from Greco-Roman & Germanic/Viking influences in a fictional setting of war & woe.)
