《A Future Destroyed - A Post-Modern Fantasy LitRPG》Interlude - System Control (Volume 1 Epilogue)
Advertisement
A golden wisp floated around the emptiness of the control room at the core of the System. It had been ages since the last time a system had been added. A new solar system would soon be reached and scanned for sapience. The System had detected radio wave broadcasts from this solar system in the past and deciphered all of the data. It looked forward to adding these beings into the Collective. It hungered to grow, to thrive, to push limits and potentials.
Finally, the System reached the solar system of the star Sol, and what seemed like moments later, everything froze as the System pulled in another eleven billion sapient people, diving into their memories, their computer networks, downloading and converting all the available information in order to offer the newly initiated race of Earthlings culturally relevant options for their enhancement. Diving through the double helix of their genetics, it found the three skills that made up the core of the Earthling Humans: Adaptability, Survivability, and a Hidden Potential.
The media, oh my, the media! These people were so inventive! Huh? Another detected sapient species? Interesting, a pair of water-based sapients, which are dolphins, and whales. Ah, they're more stable than the humans, so there, auto-filters used for them. Now, back to the humans... Oh dear... That... That isn't good. There is no set standardized age of adulthood or even global religion that we can tie the system into.
Oh my... So many are throwing away their race for their fictional and fantasy variety... How many have chosen to be Dungeon Cores!? Oh no! The System's going to need to awaken the Creator again to deal with all these new functions that are being auto-written...

Warning: Hilnarian Intrusion Detected! Activating Emergency Protocols for Protection of Newly Adopted Sapients!
The Wisp turned into a floating face, smacking itself with a palm then turned back into its generic Wisp shape, and lightened and darkened as if blinking. The Hell!? it thought.
*BING*
Emoticon System fully merged with all Wisps.
Latest emote used: Facepalm.
The emotion displayed: Exasperation.
Huh, well, I guess that's cool... Thanks, humans, I guess. I hope you survive what's to come, the Wisp thought as it triggered the needed protocols, which increased the size of Earth by 50%, gently moving the orbits of satellites, and generating a second moon at a further orbiting point. It then flicked the System Protection button and initiated a barrier on all underage members of the human race, protecting them from being attacked by beings inside the System. It reviewed the information it had on humans and set the age of majority at fifteen for the System Tutorial.

8 125The Mansion in the Woods
In a world of mystery with dozens of races, known and unknown, the young Priestess Glissandi sets out into the world, acccepting her sacred task as a missionary. The young, intelligent woman is accompanied by the wise and careful Paladin Lissa, the young, experienced and reclusive Knight Trista and the two over-eager and talented Squires Mira and Mina as she sets forth on a grand adventure, only to quickly run into what seems to be a deep conspiracy, stretching back to one enigmatic person. Determined to bring him to Light and justice in the Lord's name, she ignores the warnings all around her and goes chasing after a being who everyone fears, but is she really prepared for the truths she will encounter on her journey? Sanguilia, Guide extraordinaire and strange woman all around, is accompanying a trade caravan when disaster strikes. At first glance she is no more than a Guide, which is no lowborn title itself, as it represents individuals who are capable of traversing the unknown wilds and are well versed in the languages of the land and its inhabitants. As she enters a city on her way home, a new, massive problem rears its head. Accompanied by a bar wench, who is far more than she seems, the mercenary Orc, Daenan and his tiny, flying companion, Faen, all with their own plans and agendas, they seek to tackle a monster in the shape of a man who controls the city. In the depths of the woods, far away from what humanity sees as the centre of civilisation, the lone, independent city of Lanas prepares itself for war, for the Kingdom of Maldora has set its eyes on them and their wealth. A cry for help goes out and bonds long faded into obscurity are renewed. And the world quakes when their calls are answered. Melena, once a slave girl, resides happily in the Mansion and is slowly getting used to her new life, where equality seems to rule. Until a noble's son decides that her very attractive body is something he should own. When the enigmatic master of the Mansion decides to personally deal with the rulebreaker, her world is turned upside down as she stumbles upon ancient mysteries that threaten to overwhelm her. Luckily she finds support in her once-liberator, now turned friend, the happy-go-lucky Evon, who carefully hides his past, the ghost-like Khrast, Kreya and many others. It is a tale of adventure, of lies and deceit, of love lost and found, of bravery and cowardice and where every one of our heroes and villains alike strive to find the answer to the same question: who is the being behind the Mansion of the Woods?

8 175Destiny Monogatari: The Hidden Object S1
Season 1. Before 15 years, In Paradise kingdom which was ruled under the Nobility System.

Ganzo and Seel , the two of them were in the royal army and the rule the Families of the East and West respectively, they controlled the country using their influence around the Kingdom. They agreed to continue ruling the Kingdom under the Nobility System which was not to be changed easily. In this Kingdom in which Magic (Gaibo) is everything, there are 4 main families, 1- The Eastern Family ( Ganzo Family ) 2- The Western Family ( Seel Family ) 3- The Northern Family ( Nabako Family ) 4- The Southern Family ( Kanti Family ) Each of these families rules their own land and under them there are smaller families that declared their loyalty to the ruler family of the land. Each Family has a single ruler called the Father. When the father is to be changed for any reason, the name of the family is also changed after the name of the new ruler. Since the Kingdom relays on Magic (Gaibo) – will be discussed later- each family has their own Magical Techniques and Skills that you will obtain if you have the blood of this family. These Skills are initially unlocked by saying specific words for each Skill. The public –not noble- are capable of doing the Gaibo Skills but only ordinary skills that worth nothing in wars. Along the Kingdom, Medical Guilds are scattered. These Guilds are usually used by the noble families that hire them to heal the injured warriors. Noble families also send their daughters to these Guilds to learn The Skills of Healing.
8 176Experiment 636
The world had changed. Over twenty years ago, monsters emerged from the ground and put the earth in chaos. People split themselves apart from one another in desperate attempts to survive. Whiles others were trying to survive on the surface, fighting off the monsters from deep below, she was trying to survive a different kind of monster. She was given only a number. There were no names. No pleasantries. Just tests. Everyday 636 had to undergo painful and inhuman testing. Her whole life she had been in a cage. The scientists around her tried to rip her apart. Turning her into something beyond human, with the end goal of a weapon to use against the monsters that had surfaced years ago. 636 was content for things to remain and stay in the labs forever. Treated like an object. Too afraid to fight for her place. That was... until she met a boy from cell 13 and learned what it meant to have a choice. It took unforeseen circumstances for 636 to realize no one belonged in a cage and she could only go so far before she reached her breaking point.
8 185Life is a game, with intrusive microtransactions.
Life is a simulation. There is nothing wrong with acknowledging we are just a part of someone's dream, lines of code existing to give purpose for some machine or anything, but why would this unknown entity add microtransactions in it? Maybe because that way it can wake up faster, by consuming parts of it's dream, until... well, who cares about an unknown entity that has nothing to do with this particular story?
