《The Great Voyage》The Voyage
Advertisement
As the ship exited the furthermost reaches of our atmosphere and was welcomed into the endlessly dark embrace of space, it slowed down and began moving forward with nothing except a gentle hum.
The speakers sprang to life with a piercing feedback squeal, indicating that one of the creators was about to speak to the crew.
Noah explained how the Time Contraption worked. Interjections and comments were made in between by the rest of the creators during the long speech.
Time, was a complex and primordial construct. The one real "scale" that measured every event as it ensued in the cosmic time line. The contraption would work in ways that could only be described as anomalous : it would render the entire ship immune to that "scale".
The Titanic would, quite literally, elude time itself. Travel outside the bounds of the cosmic time line, evading the measurement of Time. And in doing so, it would be effectively immortal and everlasting.
Anything that traveled outside the cosmic time line could not be measured, and hence, could never age.
The ship would still take billions of years to reach the estimated edge of the universe, but since it would be travelling outside the time line, no time would pass inside the time line at all.
To all observers, it would seem as if the Titanic completed it's great voyage in the blink of an eye. But the reality would be an immortal crew travelling for billions of years to reach an edge that could, in all probability, be even further away than initially hypothesized.
Cryo sleep chambers installed would be used to keep the members on-board in a state of infinite stasis until their destination had been reached.
The speakers had returned to their dormant states and the crew once again busied itself in preparations for Cryo sleep. This was it.
The Great Voyage had begun.
The Cryo sleep was activated. The whole ship fell silent and the only thing audible was the gentle hum of the ship as it traveled in the infinite vastness of space.

Wait… Why is this a Skill? [Dropped]
Author's Note: Now, I just lost my motivation for writing this. Feel free to read until the last available chapter. I might come back to writing, but it will be another fiction. ========================= During school, Endou Kouta and the whole school were summoned to another world. With the cliché line, “Please save this world from the demon lord!” He and his classmates were given skills to strengthen themselves. However, Kouta, who was labeled “King of the School”, was given no skills. He was shunned by the royals but not by his classmates. His classmates then helped him train during their stay at the castle. During an expedition to subjugate a monster, Kouta was killed… not. Instead, he was given a skill he never thought he would have. This is the adventure of a closet online gamer in another world.

8 153The Struggles of a Modern Vampire
I don't think I'm doing this right.... Wait is it typing? I think... wait... Damn nails. What if I click No, I don't want to see cat... that quite cute actually. Can I order it? Wait... Greetings cattle with eyes! Yes, it is I, Richard Wythenshawe. Do not be afraid, I can't hurt you, but feel free to comment your name and blood type. I have suffered in silence long enough and I have found this place of royalty to express my dire feelings of discontent through the medium of literature. BEHOLD MY WIT, HOW DO I.... Behold my journal of darkness, my fiendish ramblings, my exorcizing of my discontent of being a night dweller in this age of technology with eye pads and eye phones. Honestly, how is a blood sucker supposed to get a meal around here when there's so many eyes? It sounds unnatural, and that's coming from me.
8 172Blue Mage Strives for the Level Cap! Adapt!
After being invited to participate in the Beta run of a new Full-Immersion Virtual Reality RPG, Ardacen Winters and 1999 others learn that it is also a race to reach the level cap of one hundred. The prizes are grand, but the chance to be the first players in this new game might be worth more than the prizes themselves. This is a Lit-RPG, a humble homage to all the others who precede it and hopefully an inspiration to anyone with a story in their own head that needs to be shared.

What happens when you appear in a parallel plane with myths that are real? Well follow Jode as he pops into this other world and learns a lot about our myths and what actually happened.This is a story I wrote when I was young as well. I am rereading it and updating it a bit as I post. I ended the story in a way but left it kind of open just in case I decided to add more. I will decide when I get to the end if want to continue with Jode's life in the other world.
