《The story of my love.》Chapter 1.
Advertisement
Самолет садится на посадку, пока стюардессы просят, только что проснувшихся пассажиров, пристегнуть ремни безопасности. Понемногу начинает закладывать уши и трясти. Это первое, что войдет в мои воспоминания о новой жизни, которой суждено начаться уже сейчас. Еще совсем недавно я и не думала, что мне придется оставить все: родных, друзей, дом, работу и любимую Флориду. Но та роковая ночь поменяла все. В моих воспоминаниях все так же пестреют заголовки газет и многотонные голоса ведущих новостей: - "А теперь к страшным новостям из Флориды. Сегодня в страшной аварии погибло пять человек, еще двое были госпитализированы в больницу с серьезнейшими переломами. Пассажиры легковушки - Марк и Эмилия Джонс погибли на месте, ... Как утверждают очевидцы, машину перевёрнуто и выбросило в обрыв от столкновения с грузовиком."
Даже не верится, что этими людьми были самые близкие мне люди - мама и папа. Прошло около трех месяцев, а все еще жду хоть малейших известий о них. Предчувствие, что они, возможно, живы, не покидает меня. Но как бы я не верила, буквально все давило на мою психику. Меня сломали, окончательно сломали постоянные приходы полицейских в наш дом, что с каждым разом докладывали все больше ужасных подробностей о смерти родителей... Ни я, ни моя сестра не выдержали натиска, и решив, что так продолжаться больше не может, мы уехали.
Теперь, когда мы уже стоим в аэропорту и ожидаем свой багаж, я ощущаю некое спокойствие и умиротворенность. Мой мозг внушает мне, что все это не более, чем страшный сон, и я ему верю. Взявшись за руки, я и Молли выходим из аэропорта. Поскорее бы уже добраться до нашего нового дома, укутаться в теплое одеяло и лечь спать. Но что-то подсказывало мне, что эта ночь будет долгой, и я скорее всего не усну.
Сев в такси, я погружаюсь в себя. Лондон прекрасный город, что завораживает и манит своей красотой. Здания, деревья, фонари, люди, гирлянды, новогодние елки у каждого дома, смеющиеся дети и их родители. Все это проносится перед моими глазами, как фильм. Невольно на моих глазах появляются слезы. Но фильм обрывается - мы приехали. Заплатив водителю и достав чемоданы из багажника, мы выходим из машины, оглядываясь вокруг. Вот и наш дом. Денег, вырученных за продажу дома и машины хватило на покупку жилья здесь.

Молли удалось уснуть по дороге из аэропорта. Я рада этому, ведь уже около 5 дней если она и спит, то не больше часа. Ночные кошмары не дают ей заснуть. Это пугает меня, ведь от этого ее внешний вид не лучше. Ее черные круги под глазами выглядят так, будто она не спит уже на протяжении нескольких недель, волосы собраны в непонятное гнездо, тело исхудало, а кожа на столько бледная, будто у нас в роду были вампиры. Я надеюсь, ей удастся заснуть снова. Ведь нам стоило бы дождаться грузовика с мебелью и кое-какими нашими вещами.

Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!

Art of Mortality
New Synopsis after chapter 56: Long long ago, there was a mortal who despised the gods and envied the immortals. Why do the mortals have to die when the gods wish them to? Why do worlds have to perish when the gods say so? Why do only immortals get to live forever, why not mortals like him? As his family, friends, and his loved one died, he lamented. He wailed, he cried. He cursed the immortals, blasphemed the gods, spat at the heavens. But he was just a mere mortal. His curses were pointless, his blasphemous words were useless, and his spits only returned back to fall on his face. At last, he thought, enough was enough, he would definitely do something about it. He decided that it was time for the multiverse to know what a mortal can do. He was the first mortal to cultivate. Eventually, after a long struggle, he killed the Immortals, enslaved the Gods, and shattered the heavens. He reshaped the multiverse and rewrote his fate. In the end, he reincarnated as he decided upon a grand scheme, a scheme to rule 'All and Always'. He came up with the concept of what is known today as 'Paragon'. And with this, all of reality, 'All and Always', was finally reforming, according to a Mortal's Wish. Synopsis (Old): In the vast and complex multiverse, what can a mortal accomplish? In the grand scheme of things, what can a mortal change? In truth, what is a mortal, and what is mortality? Being mortal is being ordinary, the same as being trash, or so says The World. "No, mortality is an art, and a true mortal is a grand artist. Being the root of all, a mortal can become anything.", says a young mortal boy. Meet Edward Alexander, a mortal boy walking the path against gods and immortals, fighting to the end to rewrite his destiny, and change the grand scheme of things. Can he really change the grand scheme of things? Or maybe he himself is the Grand Schemer? To know the answer, follow Edward Alexnder on his journey to demonstrate the Art of Mortality.*******
