    I didn't know if I qualified to say that anymore. How did things get so out of control, so messy? I was normal, once. Put on my bra one arms strap at a time, laced my Converses from bottom to top just like everyone else. Granted it was a slightly different version of normal--a little too far left of kosher, maybe? But before all of this twistedness happened, I was me. I was a little ignorant, a little naïve. I was whatever my social network profile said. But I hadn't updated it in, like, three months, so...Three months ago, I was the girl who wore her hair in a saggy ponytail, the girl with the stutter. I despised my mom's cooking, gamed too much, and laughed at all my dad's jokes even when they were corny as hell. I'd never been kissed or gotten into trouble. I was Mikayla Blake, human, prone to fuckups and mishaps. No more, no less.Three months ago, my new life started. And nothing's been coincidence since.

In a panic she turns to the only person who can help her. He was a decorated hero in the military, sought after Special Forces, bodyguard, investigator—finder of lost people. He’s the man she needs. Too bad she hasn’t spoken to him since her junior year of high school, when he crushed her heart into tiny pieces without even knowing it. Stupid Gabe Anderson. Gabe hasn’t seen Angel in fifteen years, until she suddenly shows up at his office and picks a fight with his assistant in the first five seconds. It’s clear she’s in trouble, but before he can find out exactly what kind of trouble, she’s snatched off the sidewalk right in front of him. He’ll help her—of course he will. But he won’t let her go until she tells him what went wrong between them all those years ago.Angel has been harboring her anger at Gabe for so long, she doesn’t want to open old wounds. But this grown-up Gabe. This man is a completely different person now, and he’s disturbing the graves of the feelings she buried long ago. A lot can change in fifteen years. But with the past lingering, and secrets untold, Gabe and Angel will have to come to grips with what tore them apart, or lose each other for good.

    He sleeps in a real bed and eats real food and only jumps into Neuroma to work. All he wanted was to log in, work and log out and live in general obscurity. Getting the attention of a CEO, meeting a stranger in real life, and forced to play in a secret game of corporations were not penciled into his calendar. While that was bad, he started to question whether Odditek was still in control, or had their complacency created the noose tightening around their neck. Bran was not yet aware of the choice before him. He could no longer stand back and watch, and he had to pick a side and fight before he lost the ability to choose. Would he recognize the inevitable in time? Was it possible to make a ‘correct’ choice, or had the lines blurred so much that hero and villain were indistinguishable? This novel is part of an Odditek series and is a LitRPG novel. I realize it’s the first Odditek series, but more are coming. This series started as a companion series to a book called Lantern Online. I wanted a way to build up the world as it now exists, and to explain what Odditek is. Neuroma and Nerves are mentioned in Lantern Online, and I felt all that information was taking away from my story and is mostly not relevant, but good to know information. I took a lot of it out and added it to this series. Anyway, out of that came Office Wars. I hope it's different than most LitRPG you will read, and brings another dimension to the genre. Explicit language! I will not lie, there is a satirical nature to this story, and a lot of the language and scenarios are morally questionable on purpose. In this story and I use a lot of curse words and controversial commentary. Just look on Facebook or any half a dozen social media sites, and you will see similar language, conversations, and other nonsense. If we all moved into a digital world, this is how I view that world.
