《The day I became World Administrator》10. Defense perimeter established
Advertisement
Isaac stood in front of the new screen that had appeared without really knowing how to react. An explosion then sounded, bringing him back to reality.
[System] Alert! Rune of protection at 3%
He then observed the golden ray and the energy bar of the shield before setting to work. Considering how quickly it weakens and how quickly the shield's charge decreases, the shield will most likely give way long before the beam is completely exhausted.
Isaac then proceeded to read the contents of the control panel diagonally, hoping to find something that might help him.

Almost immediately upon seeing the option, Isaac activated all of the maintenance and defense golems to prepare the Gardens in case an attack came if the shield gave way.
The moment he pressed the button, flashes of light suddenly appeared all over the plain. In the plain, around the lakes, in a somewhat random way, golems appeared.
On their torso, geometric designs were visible glowing a bluish color and emitting a fairly low amount of mana. Inside them, Isaac could observe what looked like streams of mana running through their entire bodies.
"Mana circuits ?! Are these things alive?" he thought as he saw the vessels.
Across the plain, two different types of golems were visible.
One, tall and measuring almost four and a half meters in height, was quite slender with a width of one meter at the hips, giving it an elegant and slim look. His long arms hanging down his body at the end of which were five long fingers. His whole body was long, from his head, his fingers. Except for her feet which were nonexistent, just holding onto her legs at the flat end.

The other in comparison was quite short, barely three meters tall but with a hip size of almost two meters, giving him a somewhat stocky figure. This golem seemed to be very heavy despite its smaller size and much more stable.
If he had to guess, Isaac would have identified the former as the maintenance golems, and the latter as the defense golems. This assumption was also reinforced by the staffing ratio between them.
At first glance, you could count that for every defense golem there were three maintenance golems. For a total of about eighty golems, that made twenty defense golems for sixty maintenance. Logically, Defense Golems are said to be the most difficult to create, having a lot more functionality and energy devoted to military and weaponry applications.
So far, that guess was the only thing that allowed him to tell them apart, with no option to let him know which are which on the control board. He didn't want to turn them off and waste any more time either.
While observing the golems, Isaac then continued his manipulation and decided to cut the Rune of Protection.
"Better to avoid it being broken completely. If it is possible to recharge it afterwards, then leaving the garden without a shield for a while will always be better than destroying the rune totally" he thought as he pressed the button. deactivation.
Just then, the geometric marks inscribed in the air and forming the dome around the garden suddenly disappeared. Immediately, the golden ray crossed the air and left the gardens towards the sky before totally disappearing into the stars, leaving behind only a fine presence of energy which was already beginning to dissipate.
Looking visibly satisfied, Isaac returned his attention to the golems and then to the edges of the garden, worried about what might be hiding on the other side. "If he's installed a shield, it's most likely for a reason." Having thought about it, Isaac then began to descend, his invisible bubble moving him before reaching three meters in height, still levitating, next to one of the golems.

He then looked up at the immense four-meter rock and mana formation, feeling a little bad and in danger next to such a creature. Yet despite being so close, the golem didn't seem to react in the slightest bit and stood still.
The same could be said about all golems. They were there, standing and motionless. "Are they waiting for instructions?" Isaac wondered when he saw this. He then came to approach the inscription of mana on their chest.
After a few moments, unable to read anything, Isaac decided to study it later and focus on defense. First, he checked the levels of the runes and was pleased to see that the runes were already starting to regenerate, with the Rune of Regeneration and Rune of Survival already at 4%.
Seeing that the Runes had an ability to regenerate, he returned his attention to the golems again and cleared his throat a little before speaking out loud.
- "Position yourself at the edge of the Garden. Report any entity that approaches and repel any hostile entity by any means available. Do not let any entity enter" he said, hoping the golems could understand.
Immediately, in front of him, the control panel window opened.
[System] Order confirmed.
[System] Running ...
Everywhere on the plain, we suddenly heard loud footsteps. The golems, whoever they were, then began to march and each on their own, slowly distributed themselves, each in a direction.
The maintenance golem next to Isaac then began to kick in just as Isaac had an idea. He then hastened to resume aloud.
- "Stop. You, stay here."
Likewise, the control panel reacts and the golem in front of Isaac immediately hangs before standing upright, motionless. Satisfied, the young man then returned his attention to the control panel and the loading levels.
Until now, the Runes that seemed to recharge were the Runes of Regeneration and Survival, probably the ones with priority over mana supply. However, this did not really reassure Isaac who hesitated to reactivate the Rune of Protection, especially given its charge level:
Rune of Protection: █░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ 0.5%
He wasn't sure if the Rune could sustain a sudden activation with such a low charge level or even if the mana supply would be restored or prioritized. He therefore had to be content with golems for protection.
Once the systems had been checked, he decided to let the regeneration do its work and approached the rune inscribed on the golem's chest.
[System] Defense perimeter established.

Helena's Plane
Paul, a bored young man, wakes up in a white room. A young woman tells him he has died, that she is some kind of god who likes videogames and he will be reborn in an RPG-esque world so she and her fellow god-friends can watch him for entertainment.Unfortunately, the goddess forgot to give Paul most of the obligatory, obvious cheat-abilities to make him rush to power in easy mode. Paul embraces his new life full of clichés, perverts, magic, loot and action. And animal girls.18+ !CONTAINS GRAPHIC VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL CONTENT! (Actual sex is still hard to find, but you will get it. Eventually. Sporadically.) =================Author's note:So, this is my very first novel. It will be poorly written, has a huge info-dump disguised as a first chapter (to be rewritten. At some point in the future. I guess.), and may or may not offend everyone for different reasons. Perhaps you will just find it boring, which would be even worse. The description turned out a bit comedic, but the story isn't overly so.I have a rough idea of where this will be going, but expect some bumps on the road, as well as logic holes, flat characters and a lot of borderline copyright infringements from all the ideas I got reading other works. And did I mention I'm not a native speaker? No? Well, expect some embarrassing grammar and wording choices.The main character is a more or less normal guy, without high morals, martial arts skills or even a desirable goal in life. There is mature content, in terms of violence and sexual content. It won't become a full-blown erotic novel, and it may or may not be your cup of tea when it comes to the type of content.Critics welcome.
8 165Magitech Awakenings
In this world of Terrapia, myth states that Dragons are caretakers of the chaos wheel, a band of energy that encircles the world, penetrating through the very fabric of the dimension. They tame and convert it, not only to fuel their primal magic, but also to gentler forms that man and beast alike can tap. But now they have faded away, being sighted less and less the past couple millennia. With magic weakening, science has taken root and in many cases merged in a symbiosis with magic. Guppy Bright, a 17 year old young woman, is a technomancer apprentice living in the bustling city of Nolusburg trying to make ends meet. Apprenticed to the enigmatic and somewhat crazy Technomancer Friedrich BrassTuner, she participates in an experiment meant to tap a new rich source of energy. However something goes horribly wrong and a rip in the very fabric of reality opens in the workshop, sucking in her mentor and ejecting a dying white dragon. The dragon, after examining her, takes a gamble and entwines their souls, an act that causes the dragon, Barthurthalomalew Dresnarian Kratomanger Harrowhew Objuslorow, the 5th, aka Batty, to regress into a baby dragon, sealing much of his powers and memories in the process. This act also has profound effects on Guppy, her own magic is now crazily changed in ways no one, least of all her, understands. Guppy is suddenly plunged into a world of mystery, intrigue and politics, where everyone either wants to control, or eliminate her. Armed with little but her courage and unpredictable newfound magic how will she survive and protect herself and those she loves when everyone from techno radicals, magic purists, politicians and guttersnipes are out to get her. And those may be the least of her problems if Batty's fragmented memories are any indicator.

8 186From Ninja to Pirate
Life can be difficult, hard and painful. Who am I kidding? Most of you probably have already experienced first-hand, all the difficulties, hardships and pains in life that I talk of, so rather than listen to me teach the lessons on how you should stay strong and look forward to the good things, I think you'd much rather prefer me to just get on with my story, and that's exactly what I'll do.My name was Uzumaki Naruto. I was a genin of the hidden village of the leaves, and the team-mate of Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura. My parents were the Fourth Hokage and the Jinchuuriki of the nine-tailed fox before me, and I was what people called, a failure.But now, the story has reversed. No more failure. No more Naruto. No more ninja.I am Akagami D. Natsuki, a girl who challenges the world, in the era of pirates!All credits go to Oda Eiichiro and Kishimoto Masashi for writing One Piece and Naruto. This is a fanfiction I wrote for my own pleasure. Please don't judge it too harshly... I have checked for spelling and grammar mistakes, but just in case there is the occasional mistake, please comment on it, rather than insult me. From personal experience, I have seen people insulting my grammar, with a comment akin to:"Cant u even spell 'mom' correctly? It's 'mom' not 'mum' you idiot!!!" So, please, don't insult me like that... It really ruins my day, which might have already been awful... Also, I apologise if they get really overpowered, or sound really arrogant... I don't mean it that way, but that's how it is read, so I'm sorry before hand. Well done for making it this far, and thank you for reading. noelicoan.

8 196Submissão Feminina
Nesses textos,pretendo introduzir minha concepção da submissão feminina ,suas características comportamentais e sua importância para o estado psicológico sadio de uma mulher sobre a perspectiva evolutiva.Sou um defensor da submissão feminina por parte de um homem na posição dominante,este tema é frequentemente abordado por diversas bases de conhecimento,mas muitos não a compreendem da forma devida e sua real importância.Entendo que cada base de conhecimento(pelo menos as que eu estudei,BDSM cristianismo e islamismo) que tem esta temática possui conhecimentos que podem ser combinados para o melhor aproveitamento da energia sexual e conjugal da fêmea submissa.Não uso de dogmatismos para enxergar a realidade.
