Translations by google translate don't come at me
"And why was I invited here, again?"
That was Dad. No, no, not America 'dad', Russia, my biological dad.
At least, I think he's my dad? Or would he be....?
Yeah anyway, I like to think of him as my dad. I don't get to see him often, and I've never actually talked to him, there's too many complicated relations between his and my family. Which, to me, is a good thing. I will never forgive them for what they did to me. But here I am now, standing in my backyard with all of my siblings, and all of Dad's (Ame's) friends, having a 'world reunion', as they all call it.
" 'Cause there's vodka." Dad shrugged.
"Fair." Russia nodded and scanned the room. I was watching from a good distance away and didn't expect him to see me, but as he was turning away to go to the bar he laid his eyes right on me. Shit.
He began to walk in my direction, not taking his eyes off me. I tried to avoid eye contact. His gaze was just so....unsettling. Those blank, milky eyes were just so icy and scary. All of a sudden, a cold shadow was cast over me. I looked up and I was met with that same icy gaze I hate so much. I didn't even realize I was trembling, until a hand was laid on my shoulder.
"Сын." (son)
"Россия." (Russia)
Russia looked down at his feet. He sighed and shook his head as he looked back up at me. He seemed sad, almost, and I've never seen him sad before. Though, when have I seen him at all in the past what, hundred and fifty years?

"I'm sorry, Alaska. So, So sorry." Russia said as he fumbled with his hands.
I didn't say anything, I just looked up into his eyes.
"I understand if you do not forgive me," Russia continued.
"But I will always be here for you."
He stepped back and took a deep breath, before opening his arms and smiling lightly at me.
My eyes widened. A....hug? From him?
I ran forward and tackled him in a huge embrace.
I always heard that Russia was a pretty big guy, even bigger than me, and I'm the tallest one out of all the states and even Dad, but nothing can compare to the giant bear hug he gave me.
He began to sob into my shoulder, shaking as he held me. Soon my shirt was soaked with tears from the emotional Russian, but I didn't care. All that matters is that he's here with me now.
"You won't leave me again, right?" I asked quietly.
"Обещать." (I promise)
Russia sniffled, his head still buried in my shoulder. Then, he pulled back from the hug slowly to look at me.
"Now what do you say, how does vodka sound for this special occasion?"
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Dad and Britain looking over at us, with two matching smug looks on their faces.

Chronicles of Xod (returning from hiatus)
After a long recovery over a chronic motion sickness issue, I feel I'm ready to return to writing this book. It might be slow at first, but I'm hoping to pick up where I left off. I apologize again for the long hiatus. The pages following are a true account. An account of how I, Josh--a teenage nerd from modern suburbia--ended up in a strange world filled with fantastic magic, bizarre creatures, and terrifying dungeons. Despite the troped-up fantasy feel of the world, this is hardly an ordinary tale. For one, don’t expect a happy ending. With the trials I’ve been through, the horrors I’ve seen and the atrocities I’ve committed, believe me when I tell you, this is not a happy tale filled with friendly rainbow bears or teenage flying unicorns. It’s more likely you’ll finish this book mentally scarred as I will not spare the details of my unfortunate adventures. With the help of my trusted companion Gui, I gain an insight that no one else in the world has. This knowledge allows me to exploit and, for lack of a better term, metagame the system which gave me a clear advantage over its residents. “With great power...,” someone might begin to quote to me. In my defense, I think maybe even you, reader, might have acted similarly with how this reality changed my view of good and evil. This story will be updated regularly on Wednesdays around 6 PM. There will only be about 1000 words per update. The focus is to finish the story before doing any major changes or editing. Please read as if this is a work in progress, not a finished product. Feel free to let me know if you see any error, whether glaring or minor. If you help me out, I'll be sure to add you to a thank you list at the front of the book when it is published. Chronicles of Xod is a first-person fantasy novel that follows the adventures of a young man from Earth. Through unknown circumstances, he finds himself in a fantasy world where life is not all wonders and happy endings. The story takes common fantasy concepts from my favorite video games, books and movies and gives them an adult edge. It also introduces some taboo concepts often glossed over by stories written for broad audiences. The style is meant to be immersive and heavily detailed. The short novel will be written in a way that attempts to bring a sense of realism to an unrealistic genre. Where there are realistic consequences and dangers in a world populated with violent monsters, cruel demons, bloodthirsty undead, and immoral bandits. In this fantasy world, the inhabitants are essentially gender blind as far as sexuality is concerned. There is also more variation amongst male and female physiology. This isn't meant to be any kind of promotion or demotion of social behavior in reality. Just a concept I thought would be an interesting idea to have in a fantasy setting. I highly discourage anyone from reading this material if you are personally concerned with being offended or traumatized. Both violent and sexual content will be graphically detailed. All characters involved in sexual scenes are mature and of the age of consent(18+).
