The Unicorn's Forest

While the issue about my writing ability has been resolved, it took longer than I'd have liked and now I need to extend the hiatus period on this book as I reread everything I've written on this book earlier than I'd planned. I will at least be proofreading the chapters and will update them as I work on it. In addition, I'll see if there's something I can do about the first 13 chapters on making them shorter without having to rework all later chapters. Thank you for your patience on this matter. Vol 1: The Unicorn's Forest Charlie Rivers is a 14-year old girl who is trying to get through high school without being noticed when she finds herself hearing a voice asking for help when she is only one of two who can hear it. She agrees, despite the fact the other person is someone she doesn't like. When she meets the 'voice' that needed help, she learns that it's a unicorn, yet she's the only one who seems to be able to see the horn. Everyone else thinks it's a horse. Charlie also learns that by having agreed to help the unicorn, she'd gotten herself involved with a group of friends, including the other person who can hear the unicorn, that she hadn’t been really involved with before. Not only is it changing her normal schedule drastically, given she hadn’t hung out with anyone before, but even her personal space seems under attack at times. As she continues to help the unicorn, she funds that going back to how she was isn’t as attractive as it had once been, before she was helping the unicorn but also she wonders if she really would want to. *Minor spoiler in the synopsis for vol. 2 if you haven't read vol. 1* Vol 2: Tip of Other Worlds Charlie and her friends begin traveling to other worlds in search of the world that the griffin canyon connects to. While they do that, Charlie finds herself torn with wanting to grow her relationship with Alex and beginning the expedition through different worlds. Then as the expedition begins, she finds more than she ever expected to find on other worlds, but ever in the back of her mind is the dream she had in which Beth, her best friend, dies in. A dream she's determined to keep from happening, even if she has to sacrifice the friendship that's come to mean so much to her. *Minor spoilers in vol. 3 synopsis* Vol. 3: Acclimating to a New World Charlie leaves her friends and is taken by The Lost. Her friends continue on and encounter a family who has the same disease they had just recovered from. While helping them, they learn about how this world is that of a matriarchal society and has been since ancient times. What that means they can't say, only that it's going to be awkward. Charlie comes to after a while, feeling like her brain had been I'm a fog and that she had been in a waking dream, only to find she's naked and in a kind of cage where she learns she's been taken as a slave. While she has no idea how this happened, she's determined to find a chance to successfully get out of that situation. Mature content will be either through implications or will only extend to the edge of it. The cover art was ai generated.

Player One Is Dead

The hero is dead. You're playing chapter two. Kai Soren was the greatest Hunter alive — the man whose face was on coffee mugs in every convenience store in Seoul, whose name parents gave their children like a prayer. On a Thursday night in late autumn, he dies. The System doesn't grieve. It searches. 8,341,726,092 profiles. It finds Arin Seo — 23, night shift cashier, thinking about whether she needs to repot her succulents before the weekend. She's 399 meters away. She inherits his powers, his enemies, his mission — and, slowly, his memories. Fragments that aren't hers, bleeding in at the edges. A woman laughing in a kitchen. The cold of somewhere underground. Hands that aren't her hands, moving through a fight she's never been in. The problem is that the memories don't match the myth. Kai Soren wasn't the hero everyone believed he was. And the Tower — the thing the whole world has built its economy and its hope around for seven years — isn't what anyone thinks it is. Arin has no training, no combat history, nothing the System would normally consider worth selecting. What she has is a Willpower stat that keeps climbing past anything on record, and a Class the System flags as an error. Shouldn't exist in this iteration, it says. She doesn't know what iteration means. She's not sure she wants to. Floor by floor, she climbs. She fights things she has no business fighting and wins in ways she can't always explain. She meets people who knew Kai — who loved him, who feared him, who are still, quietly, trying to finish what he started or undo what he broke. And somewhere in all of it, between the Tower and the truth and the person standing at her back who never explains why she keeps showing up, Arin stops asking why me and starts asking something harder. What did he find up there? And who killed him before he could say it out loud?
