Glitched! Uplift Arc Fantasy Comedy Sci-fi Adventure Slice of Life
[Winner of the April 22 Royal Road Writathon Challenge]
In 2202 the System reached Earth.
Thankfully it had learnt from previous uplifts and implemented an introductory arc to acclimatise the new participants rather than chucking them in the deep end.
The previous practice of just dumping unsuspecting beings into a System designed for the growth of the multiverse had led to catastrophic and sub-optimal results. The return on investment was abysmal. That old trope was so over-cooked - after nearly extinguishing itself through negative returns new policy was required.
That was 356 trillion local years back. Now over 5600 successful uplifts had joined the ranks of the multiverse.
But the System was always learning, always growing. Still there were glitches. Mostly minor. Mere irritants really. Sometimes even they were catalysts, triggering a fresh expansion. Soon the System would understand why.
Our Earth was 7912th.

You can find the origonal version here in my short-story anthology. Cover by gej302!
8 191Parasite King
Say what you will about the End of the World, but it makes for some great TV. When a Monster Apocalypse descends suddenly on an unexpecting Earth, Jonah finds himself the first victim of a sick and twisted gameshow.As the table of the world is flipped and the lines redrawn for the amusement of their new alien overlords, Jonah finds himself trapped in the literal Belly of the Beast. And if he wishes to not only survive, but thrive, he'll find that cost might be more than he's willing to pay. As Jonah grows both in power and purpose, he'll have to ask himself if Revenge is really worth his Humanity. -------------------------------- "What are you willing to do to survive? What are you willing to Become? Jonah never really gave much thought to these kinds of things. He was just your average everyday young man, doing what he can to make it in the world. Unfortunately for Him, the world he knows is about to end. And he's the First Victim. When Earth gets pulled into an intergalactic game show, hosted and ran for the entertainment of a Sadistic, super-advanced Alien race, all sorts of "Monsters" begin to spawn on Earth. By a twist of fate, when a Gargantuan Snake spawns in the middle of his room and swallows him whole, Jonah becomes the first casualty of this sick game. But Fate is not done with Jonah yet. For what fun is a Game without a fighting Chance? The question is, however, what price will he be willing to pay? " [NOTE: I don't own cover art, just something I've found till I can commision my own]

8 209I Just Want to Live a Peaceful Life!
Some people do their best in their second life, others become heroes after getting isekai'd. A handful of people go off to do great things after reincarnating in another world. Arthur just wants to work the safest job possible in his new, fantasy world. Sure, there's the threat of a Demon Lord ravaging the world with his giant armies, but there's already other people that's been reincarnated before him. Why use your overpowered ability to risk your life for a kingdom you barely know when you're living off minimum wage in a fantasy world?
