Chapter 1: Human Observation Program! All of humanity is missing!
2
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Hello, everyone. Welcome to ‘Humans On Camera.’ I’m the host, Maggie.”
1
“This program was created by the top ten financial groups in the world.”
“There are a total of five contestants participating in the first season of this program.”
“All five of them are adult males with different occupations. They are from the United States, Japan, Korea, the United Kingdom, and Russia.”
6
“The team has spent a lot of effort to evacuate everyone except for the contestants from the cities where the contestants were located, creating the illusion that humans have suddenly disappeared
“The purpose of the program is to observe the behavior of the contestants from different countries under such a background
“Deadline: three months
“This program was jointly created by the top ten consortiums. The credibility of the program guarantees that every contestant does not know about it and there will be no trust. After the program ends, the contestants who do not know will be compensated financially.”
6
“Next, I will introduce five contestants…”
8 a.m.
In the international live broadcast room.
The Humans On Camera program which had been promoted for nearly half a year commenced as scheduled.
4
Many people around the world were watching the live broadcast with their cell phones or in front of their computers.
The female host, Maggie, had a professional smile on her face.
She introduced the general situation of the reality show to the audience.
After introducing the premise of the program, she began to introduce the contestants.
“The first contestant is Raymond from the United States. He is 22 years old today and has a high school education. He is currently unemployed.”

Five images appeared on the screen behind Maggie. She pointed at one of the young men. He was blonde and fair.
The young man was lying on the bed with his eyes closed.
It was obvious that he had not woken up from his deep sleep.
“Raymond was born in the slums. Both of his parents died, and he was often bullied when he was studying… Under such circumstances, would he be hostile to society? What would happen if he’s alone in a city?”
Then, there was the second person.
“The second person is an elite worker from Japan. His name is Miyoshi Yamada…”
“The third person is Park Hyun-Yo, a popular Korean celebrity…”
“The fourth person is a best-selling Russian novelist, Czymen Werenski…”
2
“The fifth person is the chairman of a British company, Aaron Bob…”
2
The five contestants appeared one by one.
2
At this moment, all five of them were in a deep sleep and had not woken up.
1
Naturally, they did not know that there was no one else in the city that they were in.
..
These five contestants came from different countries and were engaged in different professions. They have all been gathered together in this program.
Actually, if one were to look closely…
1
One would find that one of them did not fit in with the others.
It was the American contestant, Raymond.
The contestants from other countries were either chairmans of companies or best-selling novelists.
1
At the very least, the man would be a white-collar elite.
Raymond was a person from the slums, a person at the bottom of society, an unemployed vagrant.
He was actually able to participate in the program with this group of elite people?
Actually, the reason behind this was well-known around the world.
This program had been jointly created by the consortia.

Their real goal was to see the child from the slums lose face.
4
They wanted to see this young man named Raymond make a fool of himself, hoping to criticize the poor based on his actions where they would assume he was doing as he pleased.
1
From thereon.
The juxtaposition of his actions would show their sense of superiority and nobility as rich people!
5
…
“As we all know, human nature is inherently evil, and people are born with bad personalities
“However, through the nurture of education, one could make people lock up the ferocious beasts in their hearts and show their kind and cultured sides.
“However, I don’t think that this low-class person named Raymond, born in the slums, would have such an upbringing and show his kind side.
“His inferiority has been carved into his bones. From the moment he was born, it was already destined!”
On the internationally famous social media app.
On Twitter.
2
The world’s special observer, Alan uploaded a new post.
Between the lines, he did not hide his contempt and belittlement for Raymond.
3
Once this tweet was posted, it immediately received hundreds of thousands of likes and retweets.
There were even close to a million comments. Many people agreed with his point of view.
“How long do you think this poor boy named Raymond would be able to hold on without making a fool of himself?”
“I think two days is already the limit. It might even be one day.”
“Have more confidence, brother. I have a script here. When Raymond discovers that the entire human race has disappeared in the morning, he will do whatever he wants in the afternoon. If you don’t believe me, just wait and see.”
6
The comments section was filled with a large number of similar comments.
Although the show had just officially started and Raymond had yet to wake up and take action, these people couldn’t wait to see him make a fool of himself.
Each and every word they uttered reduced the young man from the slums to dust.
After all, everyone knew what a slum was.
1
It was synonymous with dirt and grime, filled with evil and low-lives.
People who came out of such a place would not be able to do anything good in a society that was not bound by laws and morals.
7
Of course.
There were also people who came out of the slums among the audience. They refuted the above remarks.
However, such voices were too few.
They carried no impact.

Rise of the First Necromancer
Asrael Nessarat awakes on a sandy dune with a mouthful of sand and nothing but tattered rags in his posession. As the High Magus of the school of Necromancy, he once aspired to prove to the Emperor that magic still held a place in their society. But that day came, passed and inevitably accelerated his kind's downfall. Now; they are hunted, strung up and burned on pyres throughout the Empire by the Emperor's holy Inquisition- an efficient and ruthless army hell-bent on bleeding every last droplet of magic from the lands. With nothing but a mouthful of sand and tattered rags; Asrael is determined to seek the one thing his cold, still heart desires. Vengeance. This story can, at times, get very dark. It is not recommended for the faint of heart. This is not a story of an overtly powerful wizard who can pulverize his enemies from across the world, nor is it in any way, shape or form a joyous tale. We follow Asrael as he and his companions explore and seek to change an unjust world, where kindness and acceptance are exceptions, rather than the rule. If you are looking for a story to inspire hope or joy, this is not it. If you wish to read about likeable, heroic people, turn around. If you wish to see good battle evil, where the cut in between is clear, then this is not for you.

The Heretic Legion
Cover Art: Undead Master by Changling Assassin. Located at: http://fav.me/dbm60ex Used under license Creative Commons attribution non-commercial 3.0 per bottom right of the linked page. Summary: Just the story of a necromancer and his eventual army. Currently, the only major thing of note is a pretty fleshed out magic system. No set list of spells or specific incantations. Just rules similar to the laws of physics, within those laws you can do whatever is possible. Updates: I work Sunday thru Wednesday and updates tend to revolve around my scheduled days off. Currently, I release content as I feel it's ready for release because that's what I myself would prefer from an author. Warnings: This story is graphic. blood/necromancy magic that requires self-harm to use. explicit descriptions of sexuality. (though fairly tame outside of the marked chapters, at least compared to said chapters) and is generally darker in tone. If you're concerned you might start to read only to be turned off by these elements. See 7. Teetering on the Edge for an example of the graphic nature of violence or 9. Explicit Content for a fairly self-contained example of the most explicit of the sexual content.

Four story anthology
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] [participant in #NaNoWriMo] Preface: This fiction will contain four different stories set up as a challenge for myself and to get better at writing. The challenge for royal road writathon is a 55.555 word goal while the nanowrimo challenge is 50.000 words. Reader suggestions is turned on, feel free to point out errors I missed and I'll fix them up! Chasing sun, napping softly: Cultivation/Xianxia genre. Some parts will poke at the ridiculousness of the Xianxia gerne. We follow the life of a magical fox monster, who doesn't like how the cultivation world works. Said beast seems to have more knowledge than is usual for normal magical beasts. In it's infinite wisdom it decided to search for the main character of the cultivation world to have a cozy and safe place beside him. Our fox will act as a "wise beast" to coast along on the main characters rise to greatness, all for peace, happiness and that amazing napping spot in the sun. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing in first person. Comedic effect between talking vaguely and sounding wise. The cost of heroism: A story more centered around fights and mental health of hired mercenaries/heroes. The world is infected with an eldritch corruption. Humans are trying their best to explore and clear out wilderness and the dungeons hiding in them to establish new cities. Lords seek for hired hands to do the professional work. Thanks to the setting, the story will show how awful pasts are the norm and how pragmatic people became thanks to that. People exchange their sanity for riches, fame and gods acceptance. Interpersonal relationships change drastically and quickly. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing grim scenes/imparting a feeling of how grim the world is. Writing fight scenes. Showing different mental states. Describing their influence on people during fights, walks or even after successful or failed campaigns. Who will be the next powerhouse? : A story about a gaming show, it's host Staan and the different participants. Stereotype characters, stereotype backstories, silly challenges and quizzes. The winner of those challenges gets powerups for their power system. Be it magic, ki, psychic power or anything else imaginable and unimaginable to reach the power of gods. The challenges for myself with this story: A softer tone for storytelling. Making the reader smile and enjoy themselves. A different try at slice of life story. I was left behind on earth as my family conquered another world and enjoys riches, but that's okey because I got a cheat too! : Stereotypical Isekai story parody twisted into an Urban Fantasy story. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing over the top and overdramatic scenarios/scenes Writing in first person. Walking into stereotypical scenarios and making them more dramatic/giving them a twist. Different type of humor.

Knights of the Partition
We like to think there are no monsters. No magic, no gods, nothing waiting in the night but the stars and cold, hard science. It’s a comforting thought. It isn't true. Magic isn't common, mind you. Working forces is difficult in the Age of Man, and gods are limited in the ways they interact with the world. The great monsters of old have mostly been slain, or sealed away. But rare or not, the magic isn't gone. The great Working that protects us from the horrors of the past does not have the power to destroy such things. Instead, it created the Partition, a tapestry of worlds beyond the boundary of our own. There the magic roams, searching for a way to come back. I am a Knight of Avalon. One of the protectors of the Partition. How did I get this job? Poor decisions, mostly.
