It's Sunday evening, and my brother sent me messages on a chatting app we both use.
Not any messages, though.
There are various links. It includes videos about random subjects and various articles. The important content there is among the various articles.
We do send each other content we find interesting from time to time, but the rest of this batch only serves to hide one particular article issued from a local newspaper.
I do click on a few other links for pretense's sake before getting to the article that interests me.
It directly concerns us:
"Chaos in the southern hemisphere:
At around 10 am this morning, several accounts o
ClemCaHey! Sorry if this one is a bit shorter. I guess it compensates for every chapter before it being always way oversized. I'm thinking of making this family recurrent characters, so this is why I'm developing them this much. If my other works taught me anything, it's that in order to keep a connection with the reality of the situation, it's better to have recurrent characters that feel the brunt of the events. If I kept having characters that appeared and disappeared, it would eventually disconnect from the world. It suits some types of stories, but I think this volume needs to stay connected to reality to hit as hard as it needs to.

Give me a word I'll make a world Volume 10 - re:D.D. (11) - I lost / What a terrible day
Today was boring as usual. It's probably the same for my sister. My sister is two grades below me, and I rarely ever see her, but I know for sure what kind of person she is. We are a stoic pair of siblings. We are more loners, and enjoy having our own personal space. We have friends, but never at the cost of not being true to our personalities. At least that's what I believed. Today, I was with two friends of mine. My only two friends, actually. Except I saw a sight I would never have believed to be true. My sister, with a huge smile, being the leader of a group of 6 girls. Who knew she could lie with such ease. If I didn'

Left: There are two severe events we wish to prevent, but there is only one we can stop. So please choose. Right: Today, a gamma-ray burst will hit Earth, destroying most of its ozone layer. Left: And several zombies will appear, causing the start of a zombie apocalypse. Why are there two world-ending events today? That's the same day, you know? They didn't mention it, but I'm pretty sure that one of these was caused by my brother's choice. If I had to guess, I'd say the zombie apocalypse, as it's the one we have the most chances of surviving should I fail to stop it. And it seems like I'll have to fail to stop it. I don't think I can ignore the gamma-ray burst. If most of our ozone layer is destroyed, even if we manage
Give me a word I'll make a world Volume 10 - re:D.D. (13) - Blockchain
If I need to alert the world, there is no better way than to have the media talk about it. For that to happen, I need to be as straightforward as possible. Enough to create doubt. So long as it CAN be true, it will be investigated. Especially if investigations are encouraged. The best way to do that is money. It just happens that a few years back, I took interest in a new technology: blockchain. Back then, it was just starting, and I saw it mentioned in a few forum posts. I did like the idea a bit, so I hosted a node, and also mined quite a bit. I did not think it would go as far as it did nowadays, so the amount I mined, while high, is nowhere near what I could've mined had I taken it seriously. My early mover advantage, though, allowed me to have thousands of the c
Give me a word I'll make a world One Shot - 100th chapter!
For this 100th chapter, I want to thank everyone who has read so far, and this story is meant to thank you all. This Volume 10 might stretch pretty far, so I'm not in need of keywords right now, but do know that I'm still out of keywords... The whole concept of this novel is that it's supposed to be written using the readers' keywords! Join the discord! discord.gg/j6pKFkq26p I had several ideas for what to write for this One Shot, and I thought about using various stories I wrote with the intent to use for this novel. In the end, I think that I should go for something experimental, in line with the spirit I started this novel with. With that out of the way, have a nice read. [...]

-Did you hear? -What? That troublesome message? Of course I did. -What are we going to do? -What do you want us to do? Look for zombies somewhere among the over 7 billion people in the world? That casual conversation wasn't just any conversation. It was the conversation between two of the most important people in the whole pentagon. One was the Secretary of Defense. The other who clearly lashed at his superior was the one in charge of the ongoing investigation of the supernatural cases. They had known each other for a long time, and their relationship was closer to that of friends than colleagues.

Today's choice yet again left me little leeway to choose, and I ended up picking the less catastrophic catastrophe.So after setting fire to the Amazon rainforest and my sister seemingly stopping it before it happened, I was lost in my thoughts.If we are able to communicate a bit, neither my sister nor I have any telepathic link, so it takes a lot of trouble and energy to communicate anything.The need for a complete form of communication only we both can understand starts to be felt. It needs to be unnoticeable, be able to pack a good deal of information, and be effortless.And we also need to be both able to learn it without anyone around doing so.To learn it, first, we need to use a temporary method of communication we c

-I'm home! As he entered his house, David felt all the stress of the day leave his shoulders. He heard the hasty footsteps of his younger son, who ran down the stairs to welcome him back. His older son was way past that age, and in fact, his younger son was supposed to as well, but he didn't really mind it, as that warm welcome truly brightened his evenings. -Welcome back. Jane, his wife, said distractedly, as she was focused on another task. She still turned her head around ever so slightly, and saw James, just aside David. -Oh, hi James. James was David's old-time friend since high school, and they just happened to have become
