"And now Nick lay there frozen by the tazer. He couldn’t move his head, not even his eyes. All he could do was watch at the edge of his view as his best friend shook fitfully, and then slowly, and then not at all. Jermaine died. He had only one thought from that day on. I’m getting off this planet. Earth. I'm going to Möon. And I’m taking my friends with me. " ----------- Sometime in the near future, Earth is going to end. Fourteen-year old Nick Lyons and his friends fear the deadly geneva virus, live under the ever-watchful eye of the nannydrones, and fight to stay out of the US’s many refugee camps. Nick’s grandfather and his mysterious wheelchair bound friend offer an escape to a better world: Möon. This fantastic world is teeming with life-breathing airships, mysterious volcano born nymphs, fire-breathing winged lions, and magic at the tip of your tongue. Nick convinces his friends to journey to this new world, promising a better life. But when a dark creature begins to stalk Nick’s friends, he soon discovers the fantastic can be more perilous than the future. --------- "Pure awesome in a cup. With some waffles. Which would make it a waffle load." - Austin 14 "My boys 11 and 14 both really enjoyed the story and only complained that book 2 wasn't out yet so they couldn't keep reading." - Fred Chambers "As an adult, I love this series, the characters, the plot twists. I haven't enjoyed a fantasy series this much since I read Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. I've already added you my list of favorite authors." - Reehya Bagwandin "I have to admit, before I could snuggle up under my blankies with this fantastical book, my son beat me to it. He read it in a single day and raved." - Elizabeth Mueller Review from my 13-year old daughter: "This was an imaginative, well-written novel similar to the Hitchhiker's Guide books and was a pleasure to read. The author did a good job and hopefully has more in store." Sara Grace "Nikolas and company is the best book I've ever read. It was full of surprises that kept me on the edge, it also full of awkward moments that made me laugh." - J-Man "Kevin has created a fun, unique fantasy world full of magic and adventure. The story gets off to a fast start and sucks you in." - Micah Lewis "great YA fantasy, funny, a very unique premise, very well written, great descriptions, and a great band of heroes." - Julie Johnson "Once I immersed myself in the stories characters and settings I couldn't put it down." Pam Torres "It's great for anyone that loves fantasy, science fiction, it's clean with just the slightest hint of boys and girls taking a notice of each other."

"Gandalf said, 'End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it.'" (J.R.R Tolkein) When it happened it felt like a release. Freedom has never felt so good on my tired body and battered soul. Logically, I know I'm dead, but... I looked around me as my body and soul was tugged through space itself. I passively noticed the stars and planets getting smaller as I descended towards the void. Is this the afterlife? [Welcome Ms. Mia Petrova to The Afterlife] I heard a females voice say and I turned my head looking for the person. I noticed many other people spread out also descending fast like me into the void. The man closest to me held his hands up screaming in excitement and I couldn't help but giggle in amusement. I noticed a ripple in the space beside him and watched curiously as something slithered through. I choked on my shock as a snake-like creature appeared from the ripple and swallowed the oblivious man whole. Before a noise left my mouth the creature already disappeared into another ripple of space. I couldn't help my body's reaction as my soul and body were already exhausted. My eyes rolled into my head as I fell unconscious. ... "My name is Death and I would like to welcome you all to your afterlife. As you already know, it's not what you thought it would be. To be fair we have been running out of space for about 2000 years when the population was only 170million on earth. Now the population of the living is 7.8 billion well...you can understand why the afterlife took a huge shift in perspective which has only been refined in today's age. " there was a pause and then the voice chuckled and continued. "I'm about to impart some knowledge that is a little earth-shaking but hopefully exciting. You see the painful truth about life is that life is a vacation. It's the real paradise away from reality. In Death, you all will face the reality. The reality is this... " AN: Bear with me, this is my first official story. I will be writing ✍ at my own pace. I'm open to constructive criticism and stupidly obvious errors. Any similarities with other stories are either coincidence or subconscious projections. I have read countless stories and I have a ton of ideas in my head. However, it's all a jumble so I will take my time with this and get it right. I hope you enjoy my take on the Afterlife and a system made by Death himself. P.S if you want to visualize Death he looks like a badass Daniel Craig as shown in the Book Cover. lol
