《Cruxborne Legends》1: Alpha Testing (1)
Advertisement
Who is this Markus Reeves?
Well, he was a competitive ESports gamer during his childhood and a little bit of his early teenage years. He played games like League of Legends, World of Warcraft, RuneScape, and many other titles on a professional level in a team alongside other teams during competitions, but things didn't last for long.
The reason why? It all happened because of the classic trope of slipping grades in school due to his excessive amount of time learning new mechanics in each game's update. His parents were understandably furious after receiving his latest report card from his school and pulled him out of the competitive leagues, but it was not without cost. This action doomed their financial abilities hard.
You see, with each competition won by him, his entire family was able to afford living in a modest home and spend money lavishly every year on his tuition fees. They were not too terribly rich since each competition's prize pool varied, but this one before he got pulled out had a five MILLION dollar payout. If they were just a tiny bit more greedy and didn't put too much stock into his failing grades a week before the competition was due to begin, they wouldn't have lost out on their entire livelihoods.
That all happened five years ago, but it wasn't the worst thing that happened to him. No, that 'honor' goes to the day he lost both his mother and father.
Unlike a certain famous orphaned boy with a lightning scar, Markus didn't lose his parents to some arsehole with a stick. He wished that was what he had happen instead of what really happened to them. No, how he lost them was a freak car accident involving a semi-truck. Even he didn't know why he was the sole survivor of the incident-albeit just barely surviving by the skin of his teeth-but that made him far too depressed to do anything else.

That event happened just a little over a year ago now on his 17th birthday. Today-however-was still his 18th birthday when Markus decided to check his emails.
As for why? Well, he had applied to various places online for job interviews, but with his credentials at the moment being somewhat inexperienced, he saw multiple rejections. Some didn't bother to respond to his email!
Before he could leave his inbox and go browse YouTube for videos from his favorite creators, Markus received a rather unusual email. It was from the company "Reality Interactive" and it was about an offer to test their flagship game called "Cruxborne Legends" for free.
He never heard of this company or game before, so he clicked open the email with his interest piquing.

The Beauty Of The End
William was abandoned by his family and left with a mother who detests him. He is forced into a life of crime, stealing just to feed his mother and himself. But that changes when he's given an opportunity to turn over a new leaf in a world of magic, war and tragedy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Beauty Of The End takes place in a fantasy medieval world where magic exists in multiple forms. William is a boy abandoned by his family and left with a mother who detests him, and at a young age is forced into crime just to feed the both of them. But one day he is visited by a knight order who tell him he has potential for magic. Listening to their words, he leaves to start a new life and train to become a mage like them. The Beauty Of The End updates every day and I'm hoping to push out 100+ chapters consisting off, at the minimum, five arcs. Sometimes there might be double uploads to make up for a break I might've taken. I have most of the story planned out in my head and am just writing down where I think the story should go. I have planned up to arc 2 and maybe some ideas for 3, but that's about it. Thoughts and criticism are appreciated, there's obviously going to be grammar and maybe spelling mistakes that'll I'll try to spot and fix. I might occasionally post chapters that explain certain parts of the world, e.g. lore, countries, organizations, species, magic etc.

Homeland
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER -- In Cory Doctorow’s wildly successful Little Brother, young Marcus Yallow was arbitrarily detained and brutalized by the government in the wake of a terrorist attack on San Francisco—an experience that led him to become a leader of the whole movement of technologically clued-in teenagers, fighting back against the tyrannical security state.A few years later, California's economy collapses, but Marcus’s hacktivist past lands him a job as webmaster for a crusading politician who promises reform. Soon his former nemesis Masha emerges from the political underground to gift him with a thumbdrive containing a Wikileaks-style cable-dump of hard evidence of corporate and governmental perfidy. It’s incendiary stuff—and if Masha goes missing, Marcus is supposed to release it to the world. Then Marcus sees Masha being kidnapped by the same government agents who detained and tortured Marcus years earlier.Marcus can leak the archive Masha gave him—but he can’t admit to being the leaker, because that will cost his employer the election. He’s surrounded by friends who remember what he did a few years ago and regard him as a hacker hero. He can’t even attend a demonstration without being dragged onstage and handed a mike. He’s not at all sure that just dumping the archive onto the Internet, before he’s gone through its millions of words, is the right thing to do.Meanwhile, people are beginning to shadow him, people who look like they’re used to inflicting pain until they get the answers they want. Fast-moving, passionate, and as current as next week, Homeland is every bit the equal of Little Brother—a paean to activism, to courage, to the drive to make the world a better place.
