This is something I made for English class so it was kinda rushed, and the fact that I had like 2-3 hours of sleep while making this doesn't help. The assignment was to make or write something that shows you understand the theme and symbolism of a book. My book was Fahrenheit 451 (The Book) and this is the story I wrote for that assignment. I really was proud of it, but my USB where I stored it is full and needs to be cleaned up. I really didn't want to just delete it so I decided just to post it here. Hope you enjoy it if you do decide to read this mess of... more>> a story.

P.S I get nauseous when I drink caffeine so I couldn't use anything like coffee to help me.

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.

|5X WATTPAD FEATURED · AMBYS 2022 WINNER!| Messummer's life changes when a futuristic boy stumbles into her ancient world. She must now help him front to his own time before his love for dinosaurs traps him forever.... more>>

***

Ever since her father's death, Messummer has wanted nothing more than to prove she can survive in her fragile world. She decides to enter her valley's Great Flying Race as a rite of passage. It’s a race only the bravest flyers attend. While Messummer is preparing for it one day, she meets a creature she has never seen before. His name is Daniel Matton. He stumbles into her world after a malfunction with something called a "time machine".

Fascinated by this new species, Messummer kidnaps him (not that Dan has much of a choice) and takes him on a journey like none other. Of course, that’s only after Dan concludes she’s not going to eat him.

Just when it seems like the two friends' connection is growing, disaster strikes. What starts off as a bonding experience is now a fight for survival.

Will Messummer and Dan escape the horrendous Tyrannosaurus Rex, or will the 11.0-magnitude earthquake swallow them before he can even try to kill them? Will Messummer find the courage to tell Dan who she truly is? Will Dan ever return front to his own time?

Above all, is their friendship going to survive the calamity? <<less

Curiosity grows into passion, and a forbidden relationship begins to blossom between them amidst opposite forces: the Queen's duty to the King, a rising tension in the courts, and jealous wrath from the Concubine who vies for the King's attention. While Seul-Ki falls deeper and deeper in love with the woman she cannot have, the world around her spirals more and more into a political storm she cannot control. There is nothing she can do to protect the Queen, no matter how much she is willing to sacrifice for her.

The world is cruel, and the Queen's maid is powerless.

Rapture is a young man born into a small world. A hut, a lake, a forest, all barred with walls of towering wood, that is all he has ever known.... more>>

Yet the day soon arrives when those walls must come down, and the boy is thrust into the wider reality that lay beyond.

The world outside is vast, yet cold and empty. Bathed in the ashes of the world tree, more than mortal men toil at the mercy of oft indifferent and sometimes malevolent Gods.

There are those who fight those Gods.
There are those who worship the Gods.
Then there are those who care nothing for the Gods and bid to fight amongst each other instead.

Many vast Empires and great Kingdoms litter the dying landscape of this world, with more to come as the tides sweep in, then leave in their wake the ruins of decimated civilisations.

This is the world into which Rapture wakes, a world into which he must now find his place, and a world for which his mere existence will ripple into war, a world that was already on the brink of ruin before he even awoke, and will likely not be made better by the path he is destined to tread. <<less

MUIRGEN

On their sixth anniversary, an explosion stole their lives. Tristan was still reeling from the loss of his wife when he was reborn as Muirgen, the plain daughter of minor nobility.

In a flashy fantasy land that his brother would have drooled over, what was waiting for him was not a life of magic or easy glory, but exploitation at the hands of a father who legally owned him.

Just when he had lost all hope, an unexpected second chance arrives through a political marriage to the dark elf queen.

"Muirgen" is an atypical gender bender about grief, agency, and the art of learning to love again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE HEART IS A SEA

Mermaids are beautiful – everyone knows that. But at what point does admiring them become something more?

Skye has been wrestling with that question for almost the whole thirteen years of her life. Now, cast out by her friends under suspicion of being “a lesbo”, it seems like the only question that matters.

When an enthusiastic mermaid princess offers her a deal that might bring her closer to the answer, Skye agrees without sparing a thought for the consequences.

"The Heart is a Sea" is a romantic comedy about compulsory heterosexuality and mer-human culture clash.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TO BE A PRINCESS (THERE MUST FIRST BE PAIN)

Princesses don’t cry.

This is the one rule for royalty in Corde Femmes. Vervain has known since she was a child that her fate is to be kidnapped by the Demon Queen, like all princesses before her, and saved after a year of penance. It’s the only way to appease the goddess, Feuvert.

But when her summoned hero sneers at the task before her and refuses to follow tradition, Vervain fears that Feuvert’s wrath will destroy them all.
