《The story of my love.》Глава 31.

Я проснулась поздней ночью. На часах было около четырех часов утра. Медленно поднявшись с кровати, я заметила фигуру парня, сидящего на краю кровати. Он смотрел в окно, по-видимости, не замечая меня.
- Гарри, - тихо произношу я, легонько коснувшись рукой его плеча. Он вздрогнул и уже собирался повернуться ко мне лицом, но я не дала сделать ему этого. Я крепко обняла его со спины, чувствуя, как слезы предательски падают ему на плечи.
- Г..где ты была? - голос Гарри тих. Он явно беспокоился, не найдя меня тогда в номере.
- Аналогичный вопрос я хочу задать и тебе, - отстранившись от него, немного повысив голос спросила я.
- Ты разве не помнишь, что я будил тебя? Я же сказал, что уеду к Джемме, она соскучилась и хотела увидеться с нами, но ты так мирно спала, что я решил оставить тебя досыпать, а сам уехал к ней, - серьезные глаза Гарри сфокусировались на моем лице, аккуратно беря его в свои ладони, и стерая большим пальцем слезы, - теперь, твоя очередь отвечать, где ты была?
- Я не смогла найти тебя, не смогла дозвониться. Я думала, я свихнусь! Никогда больше не поступай так!
- Никогда, - руки Гарри крепко обняли меня, прижимая к его груди. Его губы нежно коснулись моего лба, бесприрывно повторяя одно единственное слова "никогда".

- Гарри, я готовааааа, - проорала я на весь номер, обувая кеды.
- Отлично, можем ехать?
- Угу, - подтвердив свой ответ кивком головы, я широко улыбнулась и открыла дверь. Выйдя из отеля, мы направились к машине. Разблокировав ее, Гарри открыл мне дверь, после чего, уложил корзинку с принадлежностями для пикника.
Pov. author:
Еще минута и машина трогается, а внутри нее царит беззаботная атмосфера. Девушка весело поет, парень тихо хихикает с ее пения, но тоже подпевает ей. Все бы ничего, но...

Dungeon's Path
The only places I have posted the story and allow it to exist are on RoyalRoad, Scribblehub, and my Patreon. So the world ended. Whoopsie? We didn’t even see it coming. Quite literally as it came at us faster than the speed of light. Don’t worry though, it got better. Also, I am not joking about the world ending. Most people say that and mean humans are inconvenienced for some reason. Nope, all matter disintegrated at the atomic scale there for a few moments. Apparently the local universe wasn’t actually stable? Don’t ask me to go into too much detail. It would require both of us to have a few more college degrees than sense, and I at least lack them (both the degrees and the sense). Anyway, the energy/matter/wibbly wobbly strings were at a local minimum and not the universal minimum. Basically, what we took for sea level was actually a nice little mountain lake and when the dam busted so did, well, everything. Now here is where things go a bit off track with what normal meant before. You see magic is real, qi is real, gods are real. Not on old Earth mind you but souls pay little attention to time and space so we dreamed of it. In fact, the closer the shift in reality got to Earth, the closer our dreams got to the new reality. This is basically me tip toeing around the fact that it was a ‘System Apocalypse’. Reality became a video game, I became a dungeon, and this is my story. Doyle Huxley just wanted a normal life but as the above might clue you in on that just isn’t in the cards. He gets to experience a “Path Based System Apocalypse” and some early paths he takes, both literally and figuratively, lead to him becoming a dungeon. The aim is to release chapters once a week on Friday. Cursing will be avoided and no naughty adult action will take place in the story.

Of Men and Dragons, Book 1
Book 1 is now available on Kindle, or in paperback/hardcover! You can buy it here! Jack crash-landed on a planet where the natives are seven-foot-tall carnivorous cat-lizards currently somewhere between stone and bronze age. The good news is the natives think the ship that crashed into their mountain is a dragon and are steering clear of it. The bad news is they just left one of their own as a sacrifice to appease the beast. No matter what Jack and his AI co-pilot decide, his life just got a lot more complicated... ATTENTION: This is soft sci-fi rather than hard sci-fi, hence why I chose that tag. For those of you unfamiliar with the distinction, here's what Wikipedia had to say. 1. It explores the "soft" sciences, and especially the social sciences (for example, anthropology, sociology, or psychology), rather than engineering or the "hard" sciences (for example, physics, astronomy, or chemistry). 2. It is not scientifically accurate or plausible; the opposite of hard science fiction. Soft science fiction of either type is often more concerned with character and speculative societies, rather than speculative science or engineering. The term first appeared in the late 1970s and is attributed to Australian literary scholar Peter Nicholls.

The Guild
The world is broken. The apocalypse came and went, and only a fragment of humanity is left, scrambled into an unrecognizable mess. The remainders of the earth are filled with monsters from imagination and worse. Gates open periodically, leading to alien worlds, while dungeons form from damaged minds, creating nightmares for the unsuspecting. Some might see it as the end times. A hellscape. A story of humans pushed to their breaking points, desperately grasping for the last bits of humanity as the world crumbles around them. But a few might disagree. One man, in particular, sees opportunity. A chance. A path forward, to bring humanity from the depths of despair and turn it into a victory - a luxury. To remake the world even better than it was, dragging earth forward onto the galactic stage. It will require violence, lies, betrayals, magic, more violence, and the occasional genocide. But, hey. Everything worth doing is hard, right?
