{You have met the exceeded requirements to resummon your Tower Master. Would you like to follow through with the process?}
Jeffrey muttered. The clock had gotten dangerously low by the time his Gobs got back; his anxiety had shot through the roof as he waited, constantly fretting that they wouldn't gather enough resources. Alas, his worries were for naught.
{Resummoning a level 1 Tower Master will take approximately one hour. In that time, your ability to make changes to Tower layout and spawn mobs without Manager supervision will seize until the next time your Manager is slain in battle. However, you may still review potential floor layouts and current mob schematics as well as put an order through for any change/spawning you wish to take place. Would you like to proceed?}
He's not even alive yet and he's still ruining everything. Jeffrey sighed and gave Rupert the go-ahead. A clock flashed on his computer screen, ticking down from sixty minutes to fifty-nine minutes and fifty-nine seconds. While I'm waiting, I should check out the new mobs I got. If they're cool enough, I'll try and convince that sorry sack of wet socks to let me spawn them.

Oh, yeah, Jeffrey thought as he flicked through thee profiles. Definitely gonna need to get these. Imagine having these guys when that stupid [Scout] came in.
Before he could go into another rage about how much of a setback he was put in, he told Rupert to put in an order for two Piters, one Miphros, and 4 Amas.
What else needs to be done?
A quick glance at the clock told him he had forty-three minutes left before the end of his perfect life came. He decided he ought to take the last peaceful nap he'd have for the rest of his being.

Fantasy World Epsilon 30-10
New Dive Assignment: 0B5 Personnel: Citizen of Gamma G-037-072 Jonathan Kelly World Designation: Epsilon H-037-072-030-010 Classification: Pre-industrial Exotic World, significant outliers in biosphere including atypical flora and fauna. Quarantine protocol in effect pending more data and acclimation testing. Further anomalies include populations of morphologically distinct humanoids, and aberrations in otherwise normative physics laws. Causal chain appears provisionally stable. For the purposes of delaying onset of collapse as well as above mentioned factors, only one subject is cleared to Dive. Initial mandates shall proceed with scouting and surveillance. Further details are classified. Warning: All other qualifying personnel are currently dispatched. Refusal will result in deployment delays and possible unsupervised causal decay. Do you wish to accept this assignment? Note to Readers: This is not MC isolated in a new world. This is new world joins the multiverse. What I'm tentatively coining Subverted Isekai (Formerly I used 'reversed' but, as pointed out, that would be fantasy MC goes to the modern world. Hey, there's idea! Not this book though.). There is plenty of scientific and philosophical stuff; I know that can be a turn off for some. It has a strong bearing on the story, but is mainly covered in the 'Comments & Calculations' section (optional reading of course). If you are looking for an extreme suspension of natural laws with no technical considerations, you will not find it here. Formatting Notes: Audio chatter from characters that are not currently in the scene I format in "inverted commas and italics". Given the layered nature of modern communication, I thought this distinction was best denoted visually in my prose. Critique is welcome. Language Notes Jon is a South African ex-pat. As such he will use some Afrikaans colloquialisms plus a dash of Japanese. Most importantly he says “Ja” meaning “Yes”. Pronounced with a J sound like “yo” and an A sound like “bar”. As in: “Yo, let’s go to the strip bar.” “Ja.” And not the Rastafarian /jya/. Other words: Nee - /niya/ : no Juffrou - /yif-row/ : Miss Lekker - /lacker/ : nice, good, delicious Nooit - /noit/: never The rest is mostly swear words. Indisputably the most useful words in any language and simultaneously holding the least innate meaning. Fok - “fork” without the “r”: fuck Bliksem - /Bluksim/: darn, damn. Also common noun meaning damn person or thing. Donner - “Dorner” without the “r”: originally meaning thunder, can also mean darn or damn. It is often used as a verb meaning: ‘to hit hard’ Kak - /kuck/: shit Voetsek - /foot-sack/: go away

Rick made new rules for himself every few days. But there was only one rule that he truly always followed- Don’t stretch your legs more than the size of your blanket. The way to success was by not drawing unwanted attention. But when the Inter-planar wars began, Rick had no other choice than to survive, and for that, he had to give up his laid-back lifestyle. "Still not gonna be a hero!” Rick vowed. Superhuman strength, agility, ability to use magic, telepathy, all sorts of talents emerged. As heroes began to emerge among the population, Rick decided to take up the mantle of being the man in the shadows. ---- Join on Discord for release notifications and polls or just say Hi.
