〈Hello, Handsome Stranger!〉... more>>

Your voice is 〈A Whisper in the Night〉, your 〈Sweet Fragrance〉 a memory I am unable to forget. You are my good 〈Brother〉, my 〈Study Companion〉, my 〈Safe Haven〉, 〈Heaven‘s Gift〉 to me.

Maybe it was 〈Love at Second Sight〉 that brought us together. 〈The Next Natural Step〉 would be our 〈Two Confessions〉 and to 〈Make It Legal〉 at last. From the 〈First Time〉 we met, to our 〈Anniversary〉 or to our 〈Wedding Night〉, I want to 〈Treasure Every Day〉 with you and tell you 〈Welcome Home〉 when you return in the evening.

〈A Bowl of Rice〉 and 〈Ten Pieces of Gold〉 are the same to me as long as they‘re shared with you. I want to go through the 〈Good Times〉 and the bad times with you. I 〈Dare〉 you to 〈Fight for It〉 if we are ever about to lose hope. It‘s just like an 〈Adventure〉 that the two of us will only be able to pass together.

If you have to 〈Walk Alone〉 for a stretch of this path, then I will be 〈Waiting for You〉 at the finish line whether it‘s for 〈Five Days〉 or 〈Twenty-five Years〉, not caring if we move 〈Into a Palace〉 or live in a 〈Lonely Hut〉. I would only be 〈Brokenhearted〉 if you weren‘t with me at the end.

So please, 〈Promise Yourself to Me〉 because among all the men of this world, I am unable to choose anyone but you.

This for those who aren't satisfied with the ending of the manga or haven't move on from the series.

I highly recommend to watch the movie first, then read the manga, reason is, there is a certain scene where the movie portrays it better than the manga, but for the other scenes, the manga is still better. <<less

Ryan is watching a horror movie when he hears strange noises coming from the other room. He goes to investigate. Halloween Prompt #20: Snap

CHAPTER 1:... more>>

* Tired from the endless cycle of deaths, and pain, MC believes it is all his fault that every one of his friends either dies or disappears. As the direct vessel of the player, he gains knowledge beyond that of even Monika. Enough to reset the world more thoroughly than Monika ever could. But at what cost? At his own cost of course.

- "What if I never joined the club?"

MC now holds, the pain of all the Dokis on himself, no longer bound to the player, how long can he hold on before everything collapses? Is there someone out there that can save him from his reality?*

This story comes from the premise. What if MC was the one that was depressed, something that has appeared in other stories, but I felt like going a little more extreme, not sure if it has been done before. Some characters, like Sayori, may be slightly OOC, since she doesn't have depression here.

CHAPTER 2:

Yuri comes to terms with what she did to MC, what he did for her, and how she blames herself for the burden the boy forced himself to carry for her and the others, all while struggling to accept that it is too late for her.

Nicholas Fraye is a broken man trying to pick up the pieces of his life after everything fell apart years ago. Everything happened during what came to be known as The Cataclysm. Fate dealt him...fuck. Dealt ME a shitty hand. What I had to do in order to stop it still haunts me to this day, along with something...more. Damn it, I don't want to get into this now. I need a damn drink...
-----... more>>

Author Description: This story is about Nicholas Fraye, otherwise known as Osran...though you wouldn’t want to say that to his face, and how he is coming to the end of a very long journey. He is a man whose psyche has slightly broken from what happened to him and his family. With his son in a coma and his wife lost to death, he attempts to repair what was lost and taken from him. It is a mix of first person/third person when the perspective is on him, and third person for every other perspective.

This is romance with obsession. Though the romance may take a bit. Focusing more on the drama and action to start. There is going to be slight harem (atm, three love interests...technically). If that isn't your thing, that's alright. Just know what you're getting into. It won't be a long story like my others...or at least that's the plan. I will update as I can, as I have other stories I'm writing as well, but am releasing a few of these chapters first. Thank you for your understanding.

This is set in an alternate Earth with a slightly altered history. Horizon is what you know as New York City, but from its landscape to the boroughs, everything is different. Beyond the veil of mortal perception lays the truth to reality. The Faelands.

I use several creatures from mythology with some of my own twists on them. There is also a few fourth wall breaks due to Nick knowing about this world due to his power and connection with reality. Though this is not Deadpool level. It's just being aware of other worlds.
-----
CHAPTER SIZE: I usually try to make shorter chapters in my previous stories (Love & Obsession and Cyber Heart), but in this I try for slightly longer chapters. About 3000-4500 words. Sometimes more, sometimes maybe a little less. Buckle in. Longest chapter so far is, I think, 5000 or so words.

TRIGGER WARNING: Suicide is talked about and shown a bit in this story due to what Nick has gone through and his own attempts to take his life. Be warned and be careful. Just remember, you're loved even if you don't know it or believe it. Even if I don't know you, I'm glad you're still around. <3

EXTRA: This story was partially inspired by a few songs. “Runnin” by Adam Lambert, “King” by Lauren Aquilina, and “Hard to Kill” by Beth Crowley. I recommend listening to them as you read the story. Anyways, I hope you enjoy! Thank you for taking the time to read. ^_^ <<less

He was the sweetest guy I've ever known. He was thoughtful, cheerful, understanding, sweet and kind - most of all he was a gentleman. I have adored him since long ago that I couldn't even remember when I fell for him.... more>>

I just woke up one day from a nice dream, a fantasy of him and me together in a faraway land. I loved him already. I don't know how and why. It just happened.

I thought that one day we would end up together. That he must be meant for me. That maybe, just maybe, I was the Ariel of whom he would be willing to die for. I enveloped my heart with a fantasy that I thought would come true at the right time and at the right place.

And then I turned nineteen. <<less
