《Red Skies {TOMTORD}》C-R-U-S-H

🖤🖤
I wake up with a glass of water on the nightstand.
Huh never asked for that oh well. I haven't seen Edd or Matt the last few days, I wonder how they have been. I heard the door creak open. I was expecting to see Tom but I saw Edd instead.
"Hey Edd it's been awhile!" I was excited to see him mainly because he's my best friend. "It has, Tord I saw how you fell asleep on the floor last night." If Edd wasn't Edd I would have screamed at him for entering "my" room without permission.
"Tom was worried about you, he said he heard you say his name before you fell asleep." I was disappointed. "SO he heard me?" I sighed and shook my head in disappointment. Edd chuckled and said "Let's go get breakfast Matt and Tom are waiting." Well I mean I'm probably gonna screw their day up because of how terrible my mental state is. How do they even put up with me?
They don't
They're lying
Nobody cares about you
Never did never will
Just die
It will make everyone happier
No that's too good for you
Suffer
You disgusting
Hypocrite
User
Ugly
Deformed
Sadistic
Communist
Tears threatened to fall but I choked them back, I didn't want to show my emotions and I didn't want them worrying about me. I'm already in hot water because I fell asleep on the floor. I started laughing and Tom said "Is there something you want to tell us?" He glances at me actually expecting a non half-assed answer. "Oh sorry didn't know laughing was illegal, and you call ME a communist." He just looked to the side and started laughing.
💙
My god Tord is so bad at comebacks it's funny and c- no. Stop it I'm not gay. It was cute but not in a homo way, right? What am I saying of course not he's my rival I'm only being nice to him because I feel bad.

Im so sorry I'll write in Matt's point of view soonnnnnnn
I didn't noticed I spaced out until i saw Tord snapping in front of my face, how rude. "Gonna wake up? We still h—" he stopped mid sentence and looked at the ground. Edd looked at me and we both looked back expecting a panic attack. He just stood there for a solid 5 minutes and then shook his head and asked what he was saying.
Today's gonna be a looooonnng day. I grab my flask and head to my room. Just forget about it, the feeling in your chest means nothing. I started thinking about Tords mental health. He's been having panic attack but if he suffered from Severe Brain Trauma or crashed into the ground headfirst at high speeds, wouldn't his condition be worse?
Yeah something is definitely off here, and I WILL figure it out. For now I'll play his little game. I hope he didn't just come back for another fucking robot. If he did I'm going to make sure he's in a worse condition then Jon. How could Tord do that anyway imagine the leader of an army a 5'8 male with a feminine body shape.
Whoa what if Tord became a trap. He could totally pull it off. What's happening why am I- nevermind let's just not think about that little cute shi- and there we go again I'm NOT gay. I couldn't be gay. I shouldn't lie to myself like this, maybe if I take a look at Tord I'll be reassured that he's just a stupid communist nothing else.
I crept out my room half expecting Tord to be right outside my door. I hid behind a wall and peeked at Tord. As I looked at him I could feel the fluttering in my chest come back and I started blushing thinking of things I cou— nevermind nobody wants to hear that, wait who would hear that.

I don't think I should keep staring what if I get caught. I can't take my eyes off him, it's the way his body curves and how his caramel hair shines. It's indescribable. I need him, but how. I know for a fact he doesn't like me— I totally forgot about his feelings. This is pointless he doesn't like me and never will.
I'll just give up like I always do, that's the easiest thing to do right? It's better for both of us. I won't get embarrassed, he won't have to make a choice, he won't feel "bad" for hurting my feelings, he won't have to lie and he wouldn't have to deal with me being all sad.!
💚
I could see Tom looking at Tord from halfway across the room, he looked like a stalker but it was funny how he kept blushing I wonder what he's thinking.
I think Matt noticed because he started to laugh.
Tord just looked at us confused and asked what we were laughing about. We told him it was something we remembered about high school.
I looked at Tom he seemed to notice and ran towards his room. Matt and I bursted out in laughter. Tord felt embarrassed for not getting the joke and he started blushing. Matt and I looked at each other and we knew what to do about this.
"Tord how do you feel about Tom?" I asked and Tords eyes widened in confusion and uncertainty. "I-I uh, he's my rival I h-hate him. He hates m-me so why s-s-shouldn't I hate h-him?" Matt asked Tord "How do you ACTUALLY feel you seem bothered and need to get it out your system so we're here for you we won't tell him anything."
"Well, I kind of like him? I-it's nothing serious just a s-small crush that'll go away soon, r-right?" You could tell Tord started feeling guilty about everything he had done to Tom. I hugged him and he started crying into my shoulder.

The Blue Tower
When I heard a soft, and gentle voice, asking me if I'd like to go to a new world, far away from here... I didn't even think twice about it. My life on Earth could hardly have been any worse, right then - and the chance to start back over was more than I could have dreamed of. But now that I'm here, I'm starting to discover that this new world is really nothing like what I had been expecting. Right now, I'm all alone, in the middle of a huge, and darkened forest, with nobody to tell me where to go, or what to do next. And somewhere, far off in the distance... I can hear something huge, and strong, moving slowly through the woods. Before, I was hoping to get the chance to start my life up all over again. But now, I'm just hoping to make it safely through the night. Maybe once I achieve that, then I can finally start to think about what's going on... ... and then, maybe, I can figure out just why it was that I was brought here, exactly - and just what sort of a world it is that I've arrived in.

Oxymoronic/Desktop/Babel_Maze
[19:27] Oxymoronic: Ever heard of escape room games? [19:30] Oxymoronic: You know, those places where you pay a hundred bucks to get locked in a room with impossible puzzles. Impossible for you, that is. Your smartass friend inevitably figures them out in seconds while you're sitting there dumbfounded, wondering where your money went. [19:31] Oxymoronic: Or maybe you are that smartass friend. [19:33] Oxymoronic: Well, I played an escape room game that even all the smartasses in the world couldn't have figured out. [19:35] Oxymoronic: I could have written a novel about what we have come to call the Babel Maze. But frankly, I'm not much of a writer. I'd much rather prefer to let the forum archives speak on their own. [19:36] Oxymoronic: Might take a few months to upload all this. Lots of clutter, lots of spam. Cleaning all this is going to be a nightmare. [19:38] Oxymoronic: That's just what internet janitors like me do.

Mary Susan Oceanrunner and the Brutus Saint's Academy
Join Mary Susan Oceanrunner on her quest to do... erm... something really important for the world... probably... Ahem. Long gone are the days when every hero could do whatever they wanted - now, we are civilised. We have government. Law. And proper forms. Lots of proper forms. (Final episode 25/07/2022. Also - beta readers far into the book rate the 'gore' degree as below 2/10, so the warning is a bit much) Mary Susan Oceanrunner is a poor girl from the orphanage, who like many others before, has to fulfil her destiny. The prophecy had been told, and she is the only one who can make things right. Erm... probably. Anyway, she can't just go and kill monsters like in the middle ages. First, she must apply for the appropriate permissions, fill the forms, learn about the proper loot taxations... Hey, no one said adventuring would be easy, right? Disclaimers: No claim made by any character by the book should be treated as the author's or anyone else's opinion on any subject. Most likely, it was just the funniest thing the Author could think of at the time of writing. This book contains many references to other works. It will probably be best enjoyed by individuals familiar with at least some of the following: 1) Computer games2) Fantasy in general3) Science fiction4) Tabletop RPGs5) Conspiracy theories6) Corporation work life7) Long forgotten prophecies uttered millennia ago in almost as forgotten languages under a starless night three dusks before the great convergence8) Filling any government-mandated form9) School10) EnglishMy ultimate goal is to make as many people experience something akin to joy while reading (think ~a bit louder exhale through the nose). It doesn't mean every scene will be funny or joyful because that's not how this stuff works. I can neither confirm nor deny having any other hidden agenda outside of that.

Gamer
This story is abandoned and has not been authorized for distribution on any sites but RoyalRoad. Given the Gamer ability after shattering a crystal inside a game, Jon's world is upturned as he is thrown into a life he considered fantasy. Making new enemies and encountering a god, he cannot escape the quest which is forced on him. Different worlds and different situations, can he come out on top? He's neither perfect nor a saint, he is Jon. Welcome to Gamer. This has been dropped, I didn't like the way I forced a few plotpoints and I lost my notes on the story itself. Read below if you want to be spoilered. As far as I recall, he would change race into a higher human after using a spell to overload his mana repeatably until his body forcibly adapts, he would train up his rift usage spell with some better targets than God's Realm because he keeps hitting his stats limit until the cost lowers enough that he can actually grind it. His world is being invaded by multiple worlds, so the god had many backup plans where a lot of people went into their own fantasy settings and came back to defend Earth. Jon never is the strongest one out there, he has to keep grinding and grinding before he gets stronger than the other heroes, and at that point the invasion is nearing the final stretch. Jon's two biggest advantages is that he can keep grinding without hitting a cap he can't evolve, and that even when he is eventually killed. He would have respawned in the nearest 'Safe Zone' after dropping a level and everything he did to gain that level. I also had a bunch of ideas for mini-arcs where he would play in multiple worlds in multiple situations, not that great of an idea in retrospect.
