In SerialThe Man Who Taught The Machine Fantasy Sci-fi Action Adventure Virtual Reality Supernatural
A game developer finds himself reborn into the world he created. He also made the powerful AI that controls the system, so what happens when he finds out the system created him more than once?
Shane Carther works as a developer for an ambitious new AAA game. The game, Endless Veil is an open-world RPG with contextual quests and endless procedural generation powered by an AI Director of Shane's own making.
The game world is populated by random events, dungeons, NPC outposts, portals, boss fights, wandering merchants, and more. Through machine learning, all of these encounters have context and backstory.
Right before the game's launch, Shane wakes up inside his own game. At first, this looks like a blessing as Shane has a robust custom class that gives him many more opportunities than usual to acquire power—and exciting loot.
Shane quickly learns that life in his game's world is authentic and deadly. Even though he respawns endlessly after dying, there are fates worse than death and rebirth. Fates like discovering you've already been reborn into Endless Veil many times and failed.

New Death
Neo's life is changed when he ignores his mother's warnings. But Death gives him a chance to find out that his world is a whole lot bigger and more chaotic then he thought, within the worlds of enclosed magic that exist, the trials, tribulations and pain that he will endure. Ending in his confusion that will grab and shift his morals and thoughts about life and death. (Author notes: This is a first draft and first story released with most of it edited for grammar, the first 8 or so aren't edited by Teaklead. As for the story none of it is set in stone. I'm here to learn, get better and would love reviews and criticism in order to improve. Thank you Starfury Book cover art created by Jessica Dueck - Starscoldnight.

The Mountains of Mourning
After his rebellion failed, Patrick and his team escaped to another world, thinking to be safe there, and live out what remained of their broken lives in whatever peace they might find. But the world he found wasn't the one he expected, and that remainder of his life threatened to become very short, unless he found a way to survive in this monster-ridden hostile environment. To make matters worse, more refugees started to come in, falling through portals, disturbing the balance. With them they brought tales of war and chaos, the horrors of those who were left behind, and the ravenous hunger for blood of the Tyrant they thought they left behind. Unable to leave the new settlers to their fate, Patrick and his team take on the roles that are pushed onto them, some with enthusiasm, some with reluctance, all striving to build a better world than the one they left behind. They should have realized that portals that open once, can be opened again, and that what they thought they left behind, might one day catch up.
