[recording begins]
Celestus Alim: I am here with the First Beings Naiu and Naka. An honour to meet the both of you in person. Thank you so much for taking the time to speak with me.
Naiu: Of course, my child. We are happy to do so.
Naka: If she says so, I suppose.
C.A.: First question: Did you really share your powers with the Lyriumians and Terpolites.
Naka: [laughs] No, of course not.
Naiu: I did, as did he. In the beginning.
Naka: Eternity is boring. I needed some excitement.
Naiu: So you started a War. That is so you.
Naka: You’re just jealous you didn’t think of it first.
C.A.: [clears throat] Next question. How do you chose your Guardians.
Naka: Eh. I went for the family with the most potential.
Naiu: Yes, and you enslaved them. Great job. [to C.A.] I select the person with the greatest potential to make a change for the better throughout Yenari. The one who will grow to have the strongest will and make the right choice.
Naka: [coughs] Adria [coughs]
Naiu: [sighs] Yes, that one was a mistake and we both suffered for it.
C.A.: I suppose that leads us into our next question! Have either of you regretted choosing a Guardian.
[silence, faint crackling noise]
C.A.: I see. Okay, moving on. Did you really create Yenari.
Naka: [sniggers] “Did you really create Yenari?” he asked.

[sound of fabric being hit]
Naka: OW!
Naiu: What he is trying to say is: Yes. We did create Yenari.
C.A.: How?
Naiu and Naka: Magic.
Naka: JINX! HA!
Naiu: [sighs] Please try to behave professionally for once . . .
C.A.: A popular story on the God Worlds is the one where the both of you are husband and wife. Could you please confirm whether or not this is true.
Naiu: It is true.
Naka: Unfortunately.
[faint crackling noise]
C.A.: Ooooookay. Final question: Any warnings for the future you can give us?
[silence]
Naka: Well--
[static noise]
The recording ended here. No one knows what happened nor what was said, nor why the recording mysteriously ended. Many have wondered what was said. Celestus Alim remained silent on the matter, though did warn that something big would happen several million years in the future from the time of the recording. People were left to speculate.

8 370The Dweeb Prince and the Eight Cursed Princesses
Prince, despite his name, was more of a dweeb high school student, who often spends his free time reading instead of socializing. One day, he discovered a secret section of the library, and in it was a mysterious book.Then, his careless action of opening it unleashed eight curses of the different princesses living in the book. Those curse will jinx his fellow female schoolmates so each of them would suffer a tragic end.But hope remains, in the form of a fairy called Pixie. Together, Prince and Pixie will track down each individual possessed by the curse and guide them to their story's happy conclusions instead of the tragic ones. With that, Prince will have to deal with classic fairy tales such as Snow White, Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, and others in a modern setting. Note: The 'HAREM' tag doesn't mean that the MC will explicitly enter a polygamous relationship with multiple girls. The tag was added because this story involves encountering and dealing with different girls without entering the dating relationship. So yeah, this is more like the harem tag in anime rather than the harem tag explained here in RR. Releases a chapter every Sunday.
8 185Catalyst: The Ruins
The year is 605, and in your home— the country of Corcaea— the souls of mankind belong to demons. A phenomenon known as the "Catalyst" is what's to blame. This diabolical phenomenon lurks within every man, woman, and child. It can turn any human into a demon, if they fall prey to one, all-consuming element. It can be anything. Fear. Grief. Generosity. Even love. In a land where Gods are real and Corcaea's theocracy is the last hope for mankind, you follow in the footsteps of Father Richard Anscham: a troubled young priest, the leader of the Church of Mercy, and the foremost researcher of the Catalyst. Deep-dive into the ruins that cover the land with nothing but your dog and your faith. Search for the cure. Conquer your personal demons. Welcome to Catalyst Quest! A "quest" is a collaborative storytelling medium in which readers get to vote on the story at specific points. As this is an archive, the prompts that were included with the original run of Catalyst have been stripped, and the story is presented like a traditional novel for your reading convenience. If you would like to read Catalyst in its original format or participate in current events, you can find us here, on Sufficient Velocity. This book is complete! If you're looking for the next installment in Catalyst, you can find Catalyst: Avowed here.
8 309Juvenile Gladiators
"I know that we've all come to terms with our... losses, our predicament. The things that I and your coming commanders have to engrave into your mind, heart, and soul with the blood of our friends on each of our hands, & longing to go back home and survive this godforsaken world. You have no choice but to fight, hold your weapon tight, and run across the hell of the battlefield... You're no longer students of the school we used to attend. Not anymore. Not till we get home. For now, you will call yourselves... ...Gladiators." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When young students of a prestigous private school found themselves stuck in a world beyond their wildest imagination, they fight for their lives to complete the mission given to them the moment they entered. "Earn the title of Grandmaster and forfeit your life to ascend into the heavens. Let your soul purify in whole as it scatters across the different dimensions of the universes' plane." Or... something along those lines. Thankfully, the only hope these 28 students could lean on to are the four least most expected people to start leading them as full fledged leaders. Why? As they said... "We've already finished getting the title of Grandmaster... It's a board game. We've been teleported to the land of Everoe, the heroes this world calls... Gladiators."
8 78The Humanity Initiative (discontinued)
Virtual gaming has been around for ages. Many live their entire lives online, not caring about what’s left of the real world. The few who do, fear nuclear annihilation. The risk of an unfortunate chain reaction is too large to ignore, but as of now, prevention is impossible. Humanity, in its biological form, would never survive as it is. That’s why the UN has its full focus on “The Humanity Initiative”. The field of genetics shows promising results, but are years from ready. If bombs were to fly tomorrow, something must survive. Recent VR technology has a potential candidate for that something.Farah Al Farzha never plays online, she loathes the very idea of it. She is in love with reality, and competitive fencing is her way to prove it. But when she reluctantly went online, she couldn’t exit, or at least a copy of her consciousness couldn’t.Human, but juridically speaking no more, Farah struggles in a game that would’ve been illegal. To her only consolation, the game is modeled after reality, a place foreign to the gaming brats around her. But what demands do the UN put on potential ‘human’ survivor candidates, and how will natural selection be replaced, when reality is no more? _______________________________________________________________________
