A burdened soul whose only sin was the sin of belief.

A young man returns to an empty house meant for more.

(...)
Amy. ... more>>

Today, Amy is at her nearby flower garden. She didn't plan to be there. Nor does that matter

Amy. Amy was her name. Nothing more. It was a cliche name. Do you agree?

The summer skies were blue, but Amy couldn't see them. In a metaphorical way, not physically.

This is Amy's story.

Amy doesn't seem to show much interest in the fact that summer has fallen on her city.

Perhaps Amy couldn't let go.

Flower. This beautiful flower, Amy said.

This flower, summer, and Amy.

Wonderful story.

Do you agree?

The story is written in blue ink, in tribute to the original that i wrote with a fountain pen with blue ink. <<less

Alternative description: this story is about an insane man ending up in a weird set of circumstances, which will slowly but surely unravel them selves to you, the reader, and probably not to him. be prepared to make assumptions and have them overturned while trying to figure out what is really going on behind the scences

Author's note: this is mostly intended as a sort of comedic story, so if it isn't funny to you or you are offended by the jokes, i apologise in advance. if you have any ideas or recommendations, feel free to interject at any time, I'm al;ways open to suggestions <<less

At the high end of the 21st century and amidst all forms of seemingly improbable scientific developments achieved by humanity, a mysterious new discovery sends the world into a reeling shock as psychic beings known as "espers" begin to appear. This discovery is that of a new organ within the human body, the aptly titled "subnerve", a secondary nervous system connecting only to the heart and the brain and seemingly capable of performing the functions of either organ should the original be destroyed, but despite this alone being an amazing function, its not the organs primary purpose; for that would be the creation of "esp" or psionic energy, a strange new power that allows otherwise... more>> regular humans to perfrom miraculous feats by virtue of focused thought.

Second Tempest Contest entry under the themes of non-mainstream weapons, a sprinkle of identity duality, and exploration of space.

UPDATE: Due to misjudged scheduling, it will no longer be possible for this story to be ready by the end of the period, thus I shall be removing it from the Second Tempest Contest.

Once upon a time, two deeply, deeply, strange people sat next to eachother. One turned to the other and said:
'Wouldn't it be funny if you wrote a weird story and let it loose on the internet?'
And the second person, like an absent-minded fool, said 'sure'
The second person, however, couldn't do anything long-term, even keep a hobby, and so decided the most optimal method of achieving this was to write a one-shot, but couldn't find any inspiration for something suitably weird, and thus decided that a random word generator was the answer. Upon the completion of the first one-shot, which, in the end, made no sense -even to the person writing it- the... more>> decision was made to continue the game for funsies, which brings this to you.

NOTE: unless stated in the title, none of the chapters are related. They may, in fact, be written by different people who were too lazy to make their own accounts and thought this would be funny. If they wish, their names are mentioned in the author's note. All of these stories are created through one word from a random word generator and the differing moods and inherent strangeness of the author. Update schedule is sporadic, due to different people collaborating on this, but there should be at least one a week.

What does it feel like to be brought up in two worlds, quite literally? In one world fighting the demons in the dark, in the other world a useless good for nothing: enjoying life's most basic pleasures. Our main character is quite carefree, he's admired by many, more than even he realizes. Yet, he remains down to heart. Bah, who cares what he's like? What's important is (see the title) that this is about a young paladin pursuing his heartbroken man. Along the way, we have elements of teamwork, warriors and adventures, love rivals (some are female), underdogs rising up against all odds, and more...... more>>

"Why us?" Still staring at the unusually stationary fire of the candle he was holding, Agung voiced the questions in our mind. "Out of 2 million people living in this city, why are we the chosen ones?"... more>>

As if on cue, the eerie laughter of children could be heard above us. Holding our own candle tightly, we resolved to ignore them and continued our discussion.

It was a matter of life or death after all.

More than half of the initial participants had fallen and the building became more crowded as the result. There were now more ghosts than the living and each step was filled with danger from the unknown.

Either we solved all the questions now or we would become another addition to the ghost camp.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There was one thing Novita found out after she accepted an invitation to a suspicious event from a seemingly legal company.

Crowded didn't exactly mean safe.

As more and more variables were added to the dangerous ritual, the higher the risk of death. At the same time, the higher the risk was, the better the rewards for it.

But in the end, was it worth it?

'Eclipse' follows events in the life of Shoukuhana no Rize, a shrine maiden from the land of Hitoshi. The title of this subseries is a reference to her title as 'The Shrine Maiden of Eclipse Blossom', and her duty as the sole priestess of the eclipse goddess 'Shoku-kami'.

Frank Euler once wanted to save the world. Let the second one be better than the first. ... more>>

On Earth he was a student of... well it hardly matters anymore. It was dying, and he and the rest of his fellows and friends studying how to stave off the end graduated just in time to be told it was too late.

That there was not enough time, funds, will, to stop it anymore. That the governments and the worthies of the world had moved from trying to stop it, to surviving the oncoming apocalypse, while blaming each other.

That was a world Frank wanted nothing to do with. One riven by wars for places in the Archologies going up, and between them and the dying world they were leaving behind.

So when a strange voice offered him a way out, to a world unmarred by the poison killing his? Frank took it.

The voyage changed him, made him fit his new world, one of stats and magic. It came with perks, for in passing through their Heavens, they'd been exposed to Divinity, and taken some of the Celestial within them.

Heroes now, but there are heroes, and there are Heroes. The nobility of the Empire care only for those who carry blessed bloodlines, and their time to adapt and train up for the new world is limited.

Patrons are scarce among those like Frank, with only the base Hero perks, and magic studies expensive and lengthy. Often requiring heavy Oaths to gain the necessary aid to wield mana as a mage.

Frank found another way. It nearly cost him his life.

Now on the run and burned by the very magic he sought and craved, he is a pilgrim traveling to the The Eternal Tree, font of Perseverance. Frank hopes Ir-karlak will grant him some way to recover from the fires that scorched him. Without snuffing out the embers those fires lit within, for he has learned to harness them and he would not give up magic for the world. <<less

Yeah... Out of all, that was truly foreign...

All those stupid voices would only call out for violence to satisfy their desire...

But slowly that one voice was drowned in the multiple voices of the same thoughts.

Out of coincidence, he saw a young male figure slowly fading away in front of him, smiling at him as he waved his hands.

His heart fluttered seeing the affectional and strange smile of the foreigner...
