• An addendum to Rule 3 regarding fan-translated works of things such as Web Novels has been made. Please see here for details.
  • We've issued a clarification on our policy on AI-generated work.
  • Our mod selection process has completed. Please welcome our new moderators.
  • Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com. Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
  • For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
  • Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
  • Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
  • The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.

It pitch black dark.

There was no light. There was no warmth. It was so, so dark…

I was a fool to think death was just a long night of sleep. It was foolish to believe death was peaceful and a natural part of life. Death was a disease, a horrible, terrible and worse of it all nigh inevitable disease.

I had long since lost all hope. My mind grew dimmer and dimmer. I could barely remember who I was when alive. But then, suddenly, everything came to be once again: I could feel the cool breeze in my skin, see the blurred world around me, smell and hear. I was Alive.

'This time,' I thought. 'I will not allow myself to die, no matter what.'
