"Said robot seemed to be puttering away on a laptop computer."

[AUDIO: PAINED GRUNTS] O-Omega... did we make it?
Yes. Get up. Upsilon followed us to the surface and is continuing their attack. We're not going to survive for long in this ship -- we need to move!
Damnit! Everything hurts... [AUDIO: MUFFLED EXPLOSION]
If you can't push through the pain, you're going to die. Get up!
[AUDIO: PAINED GRUNTS] .VES_EMER2
I'll fend Upsilon off. Get to Lacuna and extract her from the ship. She MUST be kept safe!
How are you going to fend Upsilon off? You're unarmed! God damnit! Lacuna! Awaken the machines!
... Negative. Power to the hibernation subsystem has been taken offline. You will have to awaken the machines manually.
There's no auxiliary power?! [AUDIO: LOUD EXPLOSION, CRASHING METAL]
Negative. Auxiliary power was brought offline during Upsilon's assault. .VES_EMER3
I need to get you out of here. How do I extract you from the ship?
I can transfer myself to other electronics, but only if the hardware permits a sentient AI to operate within it. Our best option would be to upload me into a vacant robot body so I can exist independent of the ship. I still have limited connectivity to the vacant bodies within this vessel, but the transfer will take some time.
How long?
I estimate 19 minutes.
That's way too long! The ship's falling apart! Is there no other way to get you out?
Negative.
Then start the transfer NOW!
Affirmative. As this is an emergency situation, I will not require any additional security clearance from [Omega]. I will be offline until the transfer is complete. Good luck, [Alpha]. .VES_EMER4
Hey, hello! Wake up! Listen carefully -- I need you to go to the other robots and manually awaken them. Bring them out of hibernation and tell them to start activating other robots. This is an emergency, okay? Go go! Hurry!
Hey, listen, listen. This is an emergency, okay? You need to get out of this ship. Head down that hall and find the hole in the side of the ship. Go through it and run. Get away from here. If you see any other robots come out of THIS ship, stick together. They are your allies. The OTHER ship is your enemy. Okay? Got it? Okay. Go.
Good morning, yes? Listen, this ship is no longer safe. You need to get out. Go down that hallway and out the side of the ship. Other robots are already escaping. They are your friends. Stay away from the other ship at ALL COSTS. Go, we don't have much time! .VES_EMER5 [AUDIO: LOUD EXPLOSION, CRASHING METAL]
Lacuna! Where are you? Did you finish the transfer?! Answer me! [AUDIO: CRASHING METAL, RUMBLING]
[AUDIO: PAINED SCREAM] Lacuna..! If you can hear me... get out and find the others... I ca [ENTRY ENDS UNEXPECTEDLY]

Genesis Wave
Skills, Attributes, and Experience. These are familiar elements to any tabletop RPG. Jack is intimately familiar with these terms from years of playing games, so he is shocked and excited when the entire world is integrated into a system governed by those elements. Follow Jack as he works to understand and navigate the new world around him. From heartbreaking losses to amazing experiences, Jack's life will never be the same. A slow build, slice of life. Blue Mage MC who learns skills from monsters. Skills are not intuitively known and must be trained to be able to use properly. This is not a rapid rise to power story. It's more of a pseudo-Isekai. As the setting quickly changes to a Fantasy one. (with elements of steampunk and sci-fi but not until much later) The story does not get very adventure-y until chapter 17.

Aurora Scroll
Hey, what would you do after you got isekai-ed? Me? Look! A cockroach villain has appeared. Let's kill him before he messes things up. Too cruel? That kind of character is always introduced to be killed by the protagonist anyway so I'm doing the world a favor here. Less CO2 emission. It's time to "Go Green" guys, even in another world. See over there, that's a trash young master type right there. What do I do? Endure the initial insults and provocation then dispose of him when no one sees of course. Why make things difficult? Hmm, a pretty girl in peril. Potential love interest there… but no, I have enough problems as it is. At the very least, I won't help her just 'cause she's a female. Same goes for males. What? I support gender equality. Hey, I know the clichés, what did you think I was going to do? Simply let it run its course? Well duh, I'll twist it to my benefit. ************************************************ -This is a power fantasy story. Weak to strong, strong to stronger. -The MC is very genre savvy and a hardcore internet citizen.-English is not my first language, apologies for the imperfections.

Falling Through the Cracks
After falling through a rather unexpected crack in the universe that spawned under his bed, Alex finds himself in a world filled with monsters and magic. Now instead of worrying about SATs and college applications, he only has demons, magic and rips though the very fabric of the universe to occupy his mind. Quite a bit easier in his opinion. This story has abuse, trama and brushes breifly on suicide. I`ll try to include warnings on chapters that deal heavily in any of those. I’m also a very new writer, so please let me know of any mistakes you see! Updates Mondays and Thursdays Image credit: Credit: NASA, JPL-Caltech/S.
