Today, I am writing a letter again. I like to inform you that my crazy scientist classmate experiment is ready, and he was absolutely certain that it has a larger chance of success than the previous trial. Some of my classmates were upset when I volunteered to be the sacrificial lamb and saying that I was a fool. The others, they know that they can't stop me from my decision and wish me a good luck by giving me so many items.

It's been 1000 years since then, I wonder what is Earth look likes now? Zombies walking on Earth?

Don't worry Mother, Father, even what mess did happened on earth, I promise that I brought the most beautiful flower here in the Nelda for you.

I would pay my respects to you soon. I still need to pray to the Goddess for her blessing.

From Your Foolish son who dearly missed you,
Huang Bai Hao. <<less

Transmigrated into some sort of fantasy world with magic and non-humans and all that jazz ,which suspiciously reminds her of favorite tabletop RPG, the girl hey, she's a girl again, cool finds herself going with the flow that was admittedly her usual way of life and doing her best to survive in a world without internet or *gasp* video games.

Fortunately blessed with OP attributes and an ancient mentor that she hides just-in-case, you never know if you'll end up in a medieval laboratory being vivisected, our protagonist confidently steps forward into a journey of adventure, mystery, friendship and romance, maybe?! Please let her stay out of stupid intrigue, politics was never her forte.

How terribly dull! A story that's one of the myriad *gag*.

And also, she finally gets to have big brothers it took being tossed into another world to become the youngest of the family. Yay!

Confined to a locked room with only her thoughts, she desperately wondered where had she gone wrong when all she did was for love, and in despair, commited suicide by hanging, but not before vowing to return and enact bloody revenge against the people who wronged her, specially towards one man in particular, the Crown Prince-- now Emperor of Velza, Gilbert--and former lover.

Author's Note: Hide0us_Replica is a queer romance and psychological thriller novel I've been writing for the last two years. Partially to get more attention to it (posting it on Amazon hasn't done much) and also to add more content to my Patreon I decided to start posting it here chapter to chapter. You don't have to worry about this being dropped midway as the entire novel is already written and self-edited. I'll post the first 5 chapters initially and then the rest will be posted two chapters a week on Monday. I'm looking forward to hearing feedback from everyone. I know this isn't the traditional type of novel for this site but I hope you all will be receptive to it anyways.

Addm: The story is very slight near future, which functionally only means that the game all the protagonist play is a full dive VR headset with haptic feedback. It's not enough that I feel comfortable including the 'sci-fi' genre tag I just didn't want readers to be confused when they see it.

Kaela Kovalskia, who is known by her nickname "Ela." She is the most successful apprentice of a renowned blacksmith, but despite her success, she feels unfulfilled. She is an introvert and shy person, but her passion for crafting and creating things led her to leave her apprenticeship and visit the city in search of rare crafting materials.... more>>

Ela is passionate about her craft, and she has always been fascinated by sparkling stones, especially the gems worn by nobles. She had always dreamed of finding a way to make her own gems, but she soon realized that she did not have the magical ability to do so. Instead, she decides to use the stones to create unique and beautiful equipment for adventurers and warriors.

As she travels to the city, she faces many challenges. The city is full of blacksmiths, and it's hard to stand out. She also faces discrimination, as many people in the city look down on her because she comes from a small village. Her introverted and shy nature also made it hard for her to adapt to the new environment and make connections.

Despite these challenges, Ela persists and her determination and passion for her craft eventually pays off. She finds the rare crafting materials she needs and returns home to create the finest equipment in the land.

Ela's journey is not only about her becoming a successful blacksmith but also about her finding her true passion and purpose, and the importance of following one's dreams. Along the way, she also learns about the importance of family, friendship, and the power of determination and self-belief.

What would you do if you chose the wrong career? ... more>>

Now, imagine the horror when you chose the wrong character in a game. As an NPC you are a background character and what Mohira wanted was to be a player.

She had logged in for six hours and suddenly thirty years had passed. One moment she was developing her game and now it is one of the most played ones.

Everything was good if only she could log out. As an NPC, the game ensured Mohira cannot log in to her account unless she completes a certain mission and earns contribution points.

The biggest concern was who was driving the game in the real world when she was inside the game.

After an in-game brother, a niece, court politics and annoying players later she swore to find the culprit who trapped her in the virtual world she created. <<less

We all heard the saying before. When you're dying your life flashes before your eyes. This is when you apparently see things like regrets, all your happy moments, and things like that. But what happens if during the moment of your death, the moment you are supposed to see your life regrets, nothing is shown? Our main man, the man, the top dog...Josh...is currently in this predicament. ... more>>

Is it because you have no regrets? Or, is it because you could not handle the truth of what really happened?
