Just some weird stories from my weird brain.

A compilation of chapter long stories of different genres to read when you want a small adventure!!!

Until now, strange short stories had only very short stories. But from volume two I intend to add stories that have 10 to 20 captains as well.
These stories are not so long nor have so much visibility as a separated book. For this reason, I decided to move all then into strange short stories, that is already a storybook of different themes.
The webnovel policy does not allow me to remove or delete those books, so they will remain there but as a "paused" book.
The stories of a single chapter  will continue to be published, of course. Each volume of Strange short stories will have 3 medium-sized stories and about 10 short stories.
To make it easier to understand and more transparent, this chapter will be like a summary for this and the following volumes.
Vol.2:
           medium stories:
                               The antics of Bia's crew ( ABC)

                              The time lady (TL)
Publish schedule: 
     Monday :  ABC
     Tuesday: SSC (single chapter story)
     Wednesday: SN

As the value of the two short stories rose at an exponential rate, the school officials also started paying close attention to maintaining the books. Some argued that they needed to be removed from the library in order to conserve the work of the school's very own world-class author. However, the young author wanted the exhibition to continue, and the school had no choice but to respect his opinion. To make matters worse, as the school's concerns about the exhibition grew, one of the attending students had been caught trying to steal the very books the school had been worried about. From then on, it became obvious what would happen next.

"Just like that, nobody can read those short stories anymore." 

The fans were envious of Yun Woo's schoolmates for their access to the young author's short stories. However, that envy had been short-lived, and the schoolmates were no longer the subject of envy. 

"That moron really stirred the pot," Sun Hwa said, and Seo Kwang gnashed his teeth as if the thief had become his worst enemy. 

"I feel really bad for the underclassmen. There's only so much fun they can have at school, and without those books, school will become even less interesting for them," Bom said. Meanwhile, Baron was resting his chin on his hand with an unsurprised look, just as unfazed as the time when he had heard his posters had been trampled over by the frantic crowd. 

"That's as expected. If anything, I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner. Those were Yun Woo's unannounced short stories." 

"That doesn't mean some dimwit who can't even control himself should have the same privilege as everyone else. If he had actually gotten away and had those books to himself, that would have been stomach-churning," Seo Kwang said, looking explicitly at Juho. He had to be expecting a certain answer. Although Juho avoided his friend's gaze, drinking his beer instead, Seo Kwang didn't let up.

"Are you STILL not gonna publish them?" 

And after immersing himself in thought for a little while, the young author said, "I don't know." 

Needless to say, his clubmates didn't find his answer satisfactory. 

"Just do it already!" Sun Hwa shouted, as if representing the deepest desires of the young author's fans. Seo Kwang, too, nodded with exaggeration and agreed with her.

"I think you should do it, Yun Woo," Baron said, sitting on the couch, and Bom also agreed with him. Then, Juho couldn't help but chuckle as he saw an uncanny resemblance to another experience.

"I feel like I'm reading through the comments on some article about me."

"See? You get where we're coming from. C'mon, we wanna read those short stories again!" 

"I actually have them with me right now. Do you want them?" 

As Seo Kwang hesitated noticeably, Sun Hwa grabbed him by the back of the collar of his shirt and said to Juho, "OK, I have to ask you. Why are you so against publishing them?"



"I didn't realize I had scheduled a meeting with my readers today?" Juho said.

"Damn it, you're killin' me!" Sun Hwa let out, almost as if she'd punch him at any given minute. 

"They're both incredible, and to be honest, none of us thought that they should stay in school. And now, just look at how things turned out! Just publish them already! What's keeping you?" Sun Hwa asked.

Juho was in a tighter situation than he had realized, and he was certain that his clubmates wouldn't take it well if he were to tell the truth. Their piercing gazes came at the young author like arrows, anxious to hear his answer. 

"I just don't really see the point."

"What?!" Sun Hwa let out as her brow furrowed. To which, Juho explained, "I'm not all that interested in the things that have been happening at school lately. Most people are curious about the short stories because of their correlation with 'Language of God' and the Black Book's cover."

"But…"

"And I, personally, don't think those short stories are all that great. That isn't that say that they're so bad that I'm afraid to let others read them, either. Either way, they still have a ways to go until they're decent, and I don't even feel like reading them again. So, with all that said, I have no passion for publishing them." 

"Still…"

"And there's the writing style. Since I wrote as Juho Woo, they won't feel even remotely similar to Yun Woo's style. If anything, it won't all that long until people realize just how alien those stories feel." 

"..."

With that, Juho took a sip of his beer.

"But they're still your stories," Seo Kwang said, and Juho nodded, saying, "That's right. I wrote them."

"And you wrote the ending to 'Sublimation,' too." 

"Yep." 

"If the short stories get out to the world, people will realize just how versatile you are as a writer," Seo Kwang said in a calm tone of voice, and seeing the lack of change in Juho's expression, he added, "I'm sure you don't really feel like explaining yourself to anyone, but once your readers realize your versatility, they'll be able to appreciate your books at a much deeper level, which also means they'll be able to enjoy them even more." 

"You think so?" 

"Both of your short stories are topnotch in terms of quality. On top of that, how many short stories has Yun Woo published in relation to the number of full-length novels? This would be an opportunity for you to give your fans just what they want." 

"Hm…"

"Although, the outcome could always be different from the hopeful picture we have in mind. What IS certain, though, is that your readers are thirsty for them. Desperately so. Are you just gonna neglect them?" 

"If you put it that way, then that makes me the bad guy," Juho said, chuckling.

"Well, you might not be far off. In fact, it won't be long until people start complaining about you not publishing them."

Then, Juho asked out of impulse, "Should I?"

"Really!?" 

"But what if Juho Woo gets his feelings hurt? They're his first pieces." 

"Nah! He's a bigger man than that. He'll understand."

"Then, should I go for it?"

"You mean it though?" 

"But they're just too short." 

"...."

As Bom guzzled down her beer, Juho offered her some snacks.

"Don't drink too fast."

With that, Seo Kwang started moaning about how ineffective his speech had been. However, he couldn't be further from the truth. As it dawned on the young author that he no longer had the luxury to remain silent, he started entertaining the thought of meeting up with Nam Kyung to discuss the matter. Then, remaining unfazed on the outside, Juho put his beer down quietly. 

"Be safe," Juho said as he saw his clubmates out. Although they looked much more excited, their excitement had little to do with alcohol.

"Seriously, give it some thought," Seo Kwang said, grasping Juho's shoulder. 

"All right," Juho said haphazardly. After waving his hand at his clubmates and closing the door, their voices could be heard fading into the distance. The once-boisterous house was now silent. 

'Everyone's grown up now,' Juho thought to himself as he gathered the trash and wiped the table. None of his clubmates were in high school or had to dress in uniforms anymore. The conversation about the immediate future was still fresh in the young author's mind. They were worried about what was ahead of them: the new beginning. Was that because they were no longer within the safe boundaries of school, or were they thinking outside of the boundary of the present? Having become part of their past, high school was no longer a subject of fear for them. At that moment, Juho rubbed his right hand as he felt a tingling sensation on it, struck by inspiration.

"School."

--

"Oh, yeah! That's the stuff!" 

After coming home earlier than usual, Nam Kyung took a beer out of the refrigerator upon arrival. Since he had already eaten beforehand, he didn't need anything else. Then, walking over to the living room, he sat down and took his laptop out. His biggest concern had been the requests by Yun Woo's fans flooding the office as of late, wanting the young author to publish the two short stories.

"What a mess," the editor let out as he logged into the company's website. The bulletin was filled with people's requests for Yun Woo's short stories. It was quite the contradicting sight from the past, when there had barely been any users. The fan cafes and blogs were in a similar state, and there was a considerable number of people who had become members of the cafes or the blogs for the sole purpose of leaving a request. As a reader and a fan himself, it wasn't hard for Nam Kyung to understand where those people were coming from. After all, the editor was also one of the people who sincerely hoped for the short stories to come out to the world. 

"I don't blame you people. I'd pay to read those short stories." 

The two short stories written by Yun Woo under the name Juho Woo had been growing increasingly valuable among his fans. Not only had the stories been written while the young author had still been anonymous, but they had also been written in secret. The fans were entirely justified in their curiosity and their desire to read and own them. Knowing all this, Nam Kyung was predicting that the short stories would be massive success.

"Although, it's still a mystery to me why he's so uninterested." 

However, Yun Woo tended to be aloof when it came to success. While it did set him apart from all other authors, it did leave the editor perplexed. The young author didn't trust the overwhelmingly positive response of his fans. On top of that, the result was only good when he was satisfied with his work, no matter how successful it might be. It was no different this time around. The fact that there were countless people wanting the short stories to be published didn't necessarily lead the young author to believe in his skills. Although Yun Woo's posture made him a trustworthy author, Nam Kyung found himself in a bit of a tighter situation than usual.

"I wouldn't be surprised if he decides to publish them now, when everybody wants it the most." 

If it had been up to Nam Kyung, he wouldn't have hesitated to get started on the publishing process. 'How can I convince him?' Nam Kyung thought to himself as he organized the data about Yun Woo in his mind, thinking about bringing the idea up to the young author the next day. At that moment, as he was looking piercingly at his phone next to him for no apparent reason, the screen lit up all of a sudden.

"Juho?" 

Yun Woo was calling. Then, without hesitation, the editor picked up the phone and answered the call with gladness. 

"Hey, Juho." 

"Are you busy?" the young author said in his distinctively calm and peaceful tone of voice. 

"I'm havin' a drink," the editor said, shaking the beer in his hand. 

"By yourself?"

"Nothing too fancy, though." 

"I had a drink earlier, too," Yun Woo said. At that, an unexplainable emotion washed over Nam Kyung. The young author, who the editor had known since he was a minor, had reached an age when he was legally allowed to drink. Time had flown by. 

"Maybe this is what it's like to be a father." 

"What do you mean?" 

"Let's go out sometime, you and I," Nam Kyung asked, feeling warm on the inside, possibly from the alcohol. As an editor in Korea, watching an author grow up into adulthood was an incredibly rare experience, and knowing that, Nam Kyung considered himself lucky. 

"Speaking of which, why don't we meet tomorrow? I have something I want to talk to you about." 

"Is this work-related?"

"Yes."

"Then, my answer is always a resounding yes." 

Yun Woo's writing had brought absolute benefits to Zelkova, which also placed him on a rather influential position.

"But what is it that you want to talk about?" Nam Kyung asked. It wasn't common for Juho to take the initiative to talk. At which point, Juho responded in a calm tone of voice, "My short stories."

When the very words that he had been thinking intensely about up to a moment before came from the receiver of his phone, Nam Kyung sat up involuntarily.

"As in THE short stories!?"

"Are we on the same page here?" 

"School." 

Then, a low, but innocent-sounding chuckle, which implied confirmation, came from the receiver of the editor's phone. 

"Are you thinking about it!?" 

"I just wanted to talk about it with you."

"Yeah! Absolutely!" 

Although it still wasn't clear what it was going to be about, it was certainly good news. Then, after making plans with Juho, the editor hung up, determined to convince the young author to publish those short stories.

---

"Been a while since we came here, huh?"

"Yeah." 

For the first time in years, Juho was at the restaurant near the editor's office, which they had visited once in the past. The fact that there were private rooms in the restaurants made it a convenient spot for a meeting.

"The magazine's doing pretty well, huh?" Nam Kyung said light-heartedly. Since the release of the magazine, fans had been absorbing every bit of information about Yun Woo like sponges, and its sales alone were proof of that.

"There are quite a few people who are impressed that the interview was carried out entirely in English."

"Is that right?" 

Although it was trivial and insignificant, seeing Yun Woo on the screen of a computer or a TV had been alien and distant to his fans. The interview in the magazine had successfully removed that distance between his fans and their favorite author almost instantly. 

"But nothing comes close to how much people talk about the background in the photos." 

The place in which the interview had been carried out, the author's home. Stacks of manuscripts of towering height. The fans had grown wild, as if having obtained clues that they had long sought after. They were ecstatic that Yun Woo could be within the boundaries of common knowledge and rationality. 

"A lot of people seem to see your frugal lifestyle in a positive light." 

"See, I don't think I'm frugal at all. Yet, I get that a lot." 

"That's because you're Yun Woo."

"I get that a lot, too," Juho said, chuckling quietly. He was starting to get a grasp for how others viewed him, and Nam Kyung seemed to be quite satisfied by how the young author was being received, saying, "I don't think there's been a single reader who came to oppose buying your books after finding out who you really were."

Yum Woo is the youngest author in history to enter the literature world. His debut work was a massive hit but this success was short lived for the unprepared.

A miraculous second chance comes his way one day.

This is the beginning of that journey.

Welcome! The title suggests this is a collection of short stories. They will be random stories. The post rate will be whenever I'm able to. It might not be easy because I'm busy doing schoolwork.

The short stories will vary in length. The longer the story is the longer it'll take for me to upload. 

The short stories will usually be uploaded in one chapter, with a different story in every chapter. 

I have a list on what short stories I'm writing but I'm open to suggestions on what short stories I should write!


Also I'm just starting to write, so don't expect them to be great! Also please give me constructive criticism! I'm using this to try and improve my writing skills

"The competition will be held before the festival right?.. I heard that our teacher will be picking some students that will participate in the competition today after lunch right?" Xerxes asked while writing a story on a peice of paper.

Many of them decided to create their own stories.. And at the end, They will decide which story has the best idea and they will just add some ideas from the other stories. They will create two main stories that will be played at the start of the festival and at the end. There are some students too who are making the short stories that will be played as commercials to attract more people.

Their teacher gave them two hours to get ready and after those two hours, It's already lunch time. Xerxes and the other students who created their own stories sat at the biggest table at the cafeteria to discuss about the two main stories and... the students that are responsible for the short stories gathered at the table next to them.

Xerxes decided to change a few things so that there will be time for the actors to rest, They decided to create more commercials that will appear at the middle of the story so there will be a little time for the actors to rest. 

They will also add songs so that the performance will become lively.

The first story is about a cold hearted pirate who lost all his treasures because his ship crashed into a big rock at the middle of the sea! (Special effects) Thankfully he survived but after that, He will face multiple problems! Now that all of his men died because his ship crashed, There's no one else who is willing to protect and serve him.

A lot of bandits chased him every where.. He had no choice but to fight back! (Special effects) And after a while of running away from bandits, He encountered a beautiful lady who made his heart beat faster. The woman helped him.. She gave him food and shelter without knowing who he really is and what happened to him.

The pirate didn't know that he is actually falling inlove with the woman! (Song: Don't know what love is) They started dancing... Going with the flow.. As if there's no tomorrow. At the end of the song, They will kiss under the moon light in the balcony with special effects. "I love you.." The woman said

"I love you too"

When the morning came, The pirate noticed that the woman isn't with him anymore! He found a letter at the table saying.. That the woman has been kidnapped and if he doesn't come and bring some treasures, The bandits will kill the woman he love

(Short stories will enter) then after two short stories, The people will be given five minutes... They can use those five minutes to buy food or to go to the bathroom.

After five minutes, The story will continue. The pirate will go to the bandits place to get his woman back! He will suffer a lot of damages but he will still continue! He didn't know that the bandits leader is actually the woman's dad and the woman herself will stop him from saving her.

"Please don't!.. My father will kill you.. Please.." 

"No! I must, My love.. you don't need a father like him! nor a family like his.. We can create our own! I will get you out of this hell! I promise"

The pirate faced the womans father.. But he didn't won. Flash back started to appear in his head as he watch his woman's father laugh at him. 

The man started walking away towards his daughter.. That's when the pirate decided to stand up and fight for his love once more. He knocked the man's head making him fall into the ground with a loud thud.. Then the woman and the pirate lived happily ever after

"It's good.. What about the short stories??" Xerxes asked Nao whose job is to manage the students creating the short stories

"It's going well.. The first short story is about a cat and a dog always fighting, One day their owner left them alone in their house.. They started to fight over a rat.. Actually, We thought that what if the short stories that we will make are connected? Do you get what I mean?" Nao asked as she continue to write something on the paper

Xerxes stood up while streching his arms, "If that's what you want.. Make sure it's possible to do alright? By the way, Let's focus on selling food in the middle of the festival.. I'm sure we can make it in time" 

-At class-

"Of course.. Xerxes and Dante will be a part of the competition!.. Then, Nao.. And.. Hhm.. What was your name again?" The teacher asked the girl at the back with strawberry blonde hair 

"It's Victoria sir.. Victoria Wilson." 

'Her? Isn't she the girl who bumped into me?..I didn't know we are in the same class' Dante said to himself after seeing the girl at the back

Speaking of Dante, He will be the pirate at the first story.. The roles were actually annouced earlier as well but they still don't know who can be the woman. Most of the girls has their own roles already.. 

After hearing tne girls response, The teacher closed his eyes as he speak "So.. The students that will participate in the competition will be Xerxes, Dante, Nao and Victoria.. You guys should practice.. Hey Xerxes, Your a gun user too right? so can you help both Nao and Dante? and where's Dewayde?.. Dewayde can you teach Victoria? She's a mage."

After a while.. The bell rang which means it's finally time to go home. This time, Wane didn't come with Xerxes and Nao.. Seems like Wane is up to something. Dante was forced to come with Xerxes so that they can practice but to be honest Dante is actually excited to learn more from Xerxes.

-End of the chapter-

Hello, this will be a collection of short stories ranging all different genres. Some of these will be random stories I did for class, stories based off dreams I had, stories based on friends suggestions, and some developed from short prompts where I have specific words I have to use. 

If anyone reading has suggestions for a story or would like for one of the stories to have a "sequel" please drop a comment and let me know. 

My primary focus is on my novel, "Lost in Time; Unforgiven," but I have so many short stories, I figured it wouldn't hurt to share :) 

I've always enjoyed writing and as shy and anxious as I am to have others read my work, I am also very excited. I'm not that great with catching grammatical errors, so if you see something feel free to point it out. 

I'm hoping to at least add a story a month or so for this one and I try and upload 2 or so chapters a week for my other story. Anyways, I hope anyone reading enjoys the stories. 

Stay safe and take care reader(s)

*There will be gore and violent content in some of the stories; various topics such as mental illnesses, abuse(verbal/physical), negative stereotypes, etc.; as well as some crude language that may bother or not be suitablefor some readers.* 

(I will put a warning on the chapters where it is more pronounced.)

This will be a collection of short stories that I have written over the years.

There will be some stories with male leads and other with female leads.

Some stories will be fantasy, mystery, realistic fiction, LGBTQ+, science fiction, slice of life, and more. 

If some are "popular" enough and any reader likes the story, I can create a "sequel" or just extend the story a bit. 

Anyways, I'll leave a brief description before the start of each story and the chapter titled will really be the title of the short story. 

Hopefully anyone reading enjoys :)
