Stuck In A Video Game Book Novels & Stories

What was it about Christian Imperial that made her yearn for more with every touch, every glance?

"It also doesn't make it any simpler for you to resist." "I believe we've struck a stalemate." He stared at her for a long time, as if trying to figure out how to solve a problem that only he could solve.

I’ll just go home, like nothing happened. I didn’t see anything.” He took a step forward, bending slightly to meet my eyes. My eyes widened at the sudden intrusion. I stumbled back. He caught me before I could take two steps. My heart skipped.

Her mouth curved slightly, then she turned away, lighting the butt of a cigarette with careless confidence before disappearing through a side door. Penny exhaled shakily. “I think I just lost five years of my life.” I didn’t respond. My thoughts were already racing ahead, mapping something I didn’t fully understand yet. Three queens. And somehow, without trying, I had already met two of them. As we headed for class, one thought settled heavily in my chest, quiet but insistent. Newton Prep wasn’t just a school.

She didn't have any close friends either and slowly as time passed she became a 27 years old who stayed at home most of the time playing on the computer or reading in her library at home. Like any other day, Su Lan was lying in bed watching her favorite drama until she received a phone call. She picked up her phone and answered only to get hollered at by her mother once again with a bunch of questions like: "when are you going to get a job", "why don't you head out", and etc. After an hour of the same routine everyday she finally managed to get off the phone call. Getting in a grumpy mood she grabbed the bag of chips next to her and saw an ad on her computer. The title of the ad was "the mys

except my parent's last wish. I apologize, old man, for saying I want to die. If you were here right now, you would've dropkicked me in the balls. I'll try to find my happiness; I doubt I will, though, but before I do that, I'll doze off. Time to go to be-... That's strange... Everything in this apartment contains a memory, even the most insignificant of things but, this pair of objects don't. A book and a pen? At first glance, the short clips in my head stopped playing.
