    Summary

    You're an engineer who works for Ebott's best research facility in one of the labs; your lifelong dream after finding a journal on Mount Ebott when you were a kid. When you aren't in the lab being smart, you're gathering materials at the abandoned doll factory for the machine you're trying to build.

    But one night, you meet a skeleton at the factory. Naturally, you lie about why you're there and say you're there to hunt ghosts. You befriend him and try to find a way to gather the materials while keeping up with that lie. But those lies catch up to you when you start to meet all the other skeletons.

    Edit: As of Chapter 29, all chapters have been edited and fixed slightly!

    Summary

    They say life is full of surprises, but [Name] never expected to end up in an entirely different universe, one filled with monsters, souls, and magic. But this isn’t some happy fairytale; it’s reality. And reality bites.

    Adapting to this strange new universe feels impossible, especially when the skeletal monsters causing you trouble also happen to be your roommates. And 'passive-aggressive' doesn’t even begin to cover it. Still, no matter how lost or out of place you feel, you refuse to let go of hope.

    After all, if life can surprise you once... who’s to say it won’t surprise you again?

    Summary

    Tim Drake used to love photography. He used to be pretty damn good at it, too.

    He doesn't do it so much anymore.

    And he isn't sure why that seems to bother Damian so much.
