| Lost in Translation |
The room was dark, except for the glow of the TV screen. A group of friends sat on the couch, their eyes glued to the movie playing in front of them. It was Inception, a mind-bending thriller that had them all on the edge of their seats.
They wanted to watch the movie in the cinema, but it cost a lot more than it would take for them to pirate the movie from their normal pirate website.
They started to watch the movie, and after the beginning, the rest is truly history. Their eyes were locked on the screen.
As the film reached its climax, tension filled the air. The characters were navigating the labyrinth of their own dreams, trying to complete a complex heist. The group watched as the main character, Cobb, struggled to keep his grip on reality.
"Man, this is intense," said one of the friends, his voice barely above a whisper.
Another friend nodded in agreement. "I can't believe they're doing this all in their dreams. It's crazy!"
As the action on screen reached a fever pitch, the group held their breath. Cobb and his team were racing against the clock to complete their mission before they were trapped in their own minds forever.
Suddenly, the screen went black. The credits rolled, and the group sat in stunned silence for a moment.
"Wow," said one of the friends finally. "That was one of the most insane movies I've ever seen."
"I know, right?" said another. "It's like, you're not even sure what's real and what's not."
The group fell into a heated discussion, debating the ending of the film and what it all meant. They dissected each scene, trying to unravel the intricate layers of the story.
Finally, someone spoke up. "You know, I think I need to watch that again. There's so much going on, I feel like I missed half of it."

The rest of the group nodded in agreement, and they all settled in for a second viewing. As the movie started up again, they couldn't wait to dive back into the world of dreams and see where it would take them.

[ 7.30 show - A small theatre in LA]
The group of coworkers had been talking about Inception for weeks, and finally, they had decided to go see it together. They all filed into the theatre, chatting excitedly about what they were about to see.
As the lights dimmed and the previews began, the group settled into their seats, eagerly anticipating the start of the film.
The opening scene of Inception was enough to capture their attention. As the movie progressed, they found themselves drawn into the intricate plot and stunning visuals.
As the movie progressed, the coworkers were captivated by the concept of entering and manipulating dreams. They watched as the team attempted to plant an idea in the mind of their target, navigating through various layers of dreams.
In one particularly memorable scene, the team was navigating a dream within a dream. They found themselves in a hotel room that was tilting and spinning at a dizzying angle, throwing off their sense of balance and disorienting them.
The coworkers watched in amazement as the team fought off attackers and tried to complete their mission despite the chaotic environment. The scene was tense and thrilling, with the music and visuals heightening the sense of danger.
One coworker gasped as a character fell from the tilting hotel room, only to be caught by another team member in the level below. "This is insane," they whispered.
Another coworker nodded in agreement. "I can't even imagine how they filmed this. It's like nothing I've ever seen before."
As the scene ended and the movie progressed, the coworkers were still buzzing with excitement from the thrilling dream sequence they had just witnessed. They knew that this was a movie that they would be talking about for a long time to come.

As the movie reached its climax, tension filled the air. The characters were navigating the depths of their own dreams, trying to complete a complex heist. The coworkers watched in awe as the team worked together to manipulate their own minds.
One coworker leaned over to another and whispered, "This is insane. I can't believe they're doing this all in their dreams."
The other coworker nodded, completely engrossed in the movie. "It's like nothing I've ever seen before. The effects are incredible."
As the movie came to a close, the group sat in stunned silence for a moment, trying to process everything they had just seen.
Finally, one coworker spoke up. "That was amazing. I feel like my mind has been blown."
Another coworker agreed. "I'm going to need to watch that again to really understand it all. But it was definitely worth it."
The group left the theatre, buzzing with excitement and discussing the intricacies of the film. It was a movie they would never forget, and one that they knew they would be talking about for weeks to come.
Inception made everyone fall in love with sci-fi!

[ 4.30pm show: GroundWorks Theatre, CA]
A group of teenagers settled into their seats at the movie theatre, eagerly anticipating the start of Inception. They had heard from their friends that it was a mind-bending movie, but they were confident that they could handle it.
As the movie began, they were immediately confused by the intricate plot and complex concepts. They struggled to understand the various layers of dreams and the team of specialists who were trying to plant an idea in someone's mind.
One of the teenagers, named Ashley, whispered to her friend Rachel, "I don't get it. What's happening?"
Rachel shrugged, equally confused. "I have no idea. This is so confusing."
As the movie progressed, the teenagers grew increasingly frustrated and bored. They couldn't follow the plot or the characters and felt like they were missing out on something that everyone else seemed to understand.
"This is so stupid," said one of the boys, named Tyler. "I don't get why everyone likes this movie."
The other teenagers murmured their agreement, their eyes glazing over as they struggled to make sense of the movie. They grew increasingly restless as the movie dragged on, checking their phones and talking to each other in hushed tones.
When the movie finally ended, the teenagers left the theatre feeling disappointed and underwhelmed. They couldn't understand why everyone else seemed to love the movie and felt like they had wasted their time and money.
"I don't get why anyone would like that movie," said Ashley, shaking her head in frustration.
Rachel nodded in agreement. "It was way too confusing. I like movies that are easy to understand."
The other teenagers murmured their agreement, eager to move on from the confusing and frustrating experience of watching Inception. For them, it was a reminder that not all movies were meant for everyone, and that sometimes it was better to stick with what they knew and understood.

Paternum: A Superhero Story
When Quinn finds an experimental superpower-granting costume in their parents’ attic, they didn’t expect to be drawn into a web of superhuman intrigue, but their discovery serves as the catalyst for that conspiracy to slowly unravel. At it’s heart, Paternum is an extended coming-of-age story for the main character as they become a superhero, in a world with more reasonable stakes and less powerful heroes than many superheroic worlds. Themes include what art means to different people, and what it means to be a patron, whether as a sponsor, a parent, or a supporter. I consider Paternum‘s primary influences to be the various versions of Spider-Man, J. C. McCrae’s own superhero story Worm, and Drew Hayes’ story SuperPowereds. I hope that fans of such stories can find something to enjoy in mine as well. Paternum is primarily hosted on my website (thevoidwrites.com) where it updates weekly in groups of scenes totalling approximately 2000 words. Here on Royal Road, it will update once daily with one scene at a time, but only after each act is completed on the home site - the next batch of updates is scheduled to begin on February 5th. There is a discord channel for discussion (discordapp.com/invite/QFMM6yA), and you can vote for Paternum on topwebfiction (topwebfiction.com/vote.php?for=paternum) as well. Finally, you can buy the first book of Paternum, The Swift Uplifting Rush, in a couple different ways - as an ebook through Amazon, or directly from me for a discounted price, or as a physical paperback from Amazon. Buying the book will give you access to Drawing Hands, an exclusive arc that won't ever be published on either my site or Royal Road.

Kichiro's Rampage
Meet Kichiro, the son of a samurai. A social outcast, he leaves his home with nothing but a musket and a sword, determined to carve himself a niche in a chaotic world of dragons and leviathans. This fiction incorporates LitRPG elements, but it's not set in a VR. It's set in a fantastical world based loosely on East Asia in the 16th and 17th Century, when the Ming Dynasty was on its last legs, with the addition of magic and monsters. I totally stole the stat tables from Exterminatus, the author of Everybody Loves Large Chests, so let me credit him for that. I'm new to writing so please don't hesitate to criticise, and reviews would be greatly appreciated.
