There are portals to another world all over the city.... more>>

And only I can see and open them.

That’s what I discovered when I got sick and tired of being shocked by these only-visible-to-me floating purple things and tried to rip it apart… Only to literally rip open a portal into a familiar place from a VR game.

What is going on? Was it actually a real world all along? Were the devs aware of it? Could I… smuggle potions and magical items to Earth with this?

For years, my father has been telling everyone that he was transported into a magical world and became a legendary hero!... more>>

But I hated his stories. Life was miserable because he acted weird whenever he told the stories of how he saved the world of Evereal from the evil empire. I want out, I want it all gone, and I want it all to end.

This is the story of how I get to believe the stories!

UPDATE 3/23/2024

I apologize for the sudden hiatus. I take full responsibility for the lack of communication on my part.

I thought writing and updating my story every single day was an easy feat since I thought this hobby wouldn't interfere with my work. I was wrong. It took a toll on me and I stopped scheduling my stocked chapters after realizing I was just writing uninspired chapters with blatantly copied plot points from other famous works. It was borderline plagiarism and I had to stop.

I have no other excuse, I got lazy after that. I thought there was no point in continuing the series anymore. I felt like I wasted nights of writing, I haven't even edited past chapters yet.

Therefore, I had a solution in mind. I promised myself that I'd write this series to the end and I still intend to do that. But I won't be updating per day or week anymore. I plan to update when I want to instead, I want to do it for myself. I plan to refine the chapters I made that I haven't published and maybe edit the published ones as well.

So updates will be very rare, no promises of when this time. I might even reboot the whole story. For now, let me write for myself, I was so preoccupied with writing a story to tell a platform that I failed to consider telling a story that makes me happy. I hope you understand.

Cheers. <<less

The year is 2024. Alan Malloy is a sci-fi nerd attending uni somewhere in the vicinity of Essex. Moreover, he's a nerd who has serious toxicity issues. And worse still, he's been a menace to the nerdy girls of the Royal College of Saint Almsworth since he arrived. He is, by all accounts, a incel. He's on a downward spiral which is slowly killing his future. He's dropping classes, and his smarts are going to waste in a downwards spiral that will ultimately lead him nowhere. He has failed as a man. There is a answer though. Unfortunately for his current existence, that answer is the secret basement under Dorley Hall, where bad boys become... more>> good girls, whether they like it or not.

In Alan's case, Space isn't the Final Frontier. But that Frontier will still be made in a basement. Just not a Hollywood one.

Based on The Sisters of Dorley by Alysongreaves, "Dorley: The Next Generation" is a exploration, analysis, and deconstruction of nerd culture, gender identity, the nature of friendship and family, the psychology of toxic nerdom, and the author's own personality. Dark, psychological, and very gender-bendy, this story is my attempt to take the lessons I've learned from writing fanfiction for nearly a decade and use it to create a multilayered story that I hope will entertain. <<less

“Hurry Up,J!” I urged Jordan, my voice laced with tension.... more>>

“We are almost there. Relax,V!” Jordan replied calmly as he drove towards the mayor’s estate.

Despite his words and tone meaning to console me, I knew that he was just as worried as I was.Considering that 30 minutes ago, we got a call from Aaron’s mom, informing us that our best friend has gone berserk again and he was practically tossing and battering every known household items that they own.

Taking into account his past records of going off into the deep end would bring harm to himself more than his surroundings, we were afraid the outcome might be him(Aaron) ending up in the ER again.

And we didn’t want that to happen.

But there is a fun kind of teasing.” He looked at me skeptically as we began to walk over to our classmates.

“Really?”

The system is cool. That's what Axlet thought at first, then it was interesting, then it was everything. Ripped from his peaceful life on a colony farm in Seneca what was once a quirky curiosity about the system turns into the only thing keeping him alive.... more>>

First Axlet must survive then, and only then, can he become strong. The process of the weak becoming strong is a process of time, pain, and blood. A process that can end at any time. Even worse a process that some can't stop, no matter how badly they want to.

This will be a litrpg story focusing on a slow build up. The foundation for the character's power and personality will be built throughout the story and take time, the pace will reflect that. You will not only see Axlet's level power grow but also the character himself.

The story will have a darker tone, especially in the beginning, focusing on a fight for survival and power of a young boy thrown into a world that is much bigger than himself.
