《A Future Destroyed - A Post-Modern Fantasy LitRPG》Chapter 20 - Tunnel Service
Advertisement
Joriya smirked to himself as he staggered his way to the elevator, which surprisingly had rooftop access. "Clarence, could you summon an Avatar or send your fairy to the roof to assist in the design of the space station that will host the interplanetary tunnel and its single teleporter access pad which we will place on one of these hospitals helipad landing zones?" Joriya requested politely of the dungeon.
"Sorry, Joriya, but this one's all on you. Thank you for considering asking us for our opinions," Clarence's voice came from the elevator speaker. "If it is any consolation, I think you are doing what you truly believe to be in the best interest of humanity."
Great, thanks for the vote for self-confidence, man, but I was hoping for actual support, Joriya thought as he just nodded at the camera. After the elevator reached the roof, he stepped out and looked around. There were four different helipads, anointing the four cardinal directions on the compass. He went to the eastern helipad and sat down.
*DING*
Shop access granted to 'Safe Zone' Hillsborough Horror Hospital Helipad Entrance.
Joriya turned to the camera pointed at the Helipad and gave it a thumbs up, before he pulled out a notepad and started doing calculations. He knew what he wanted, but he wasn't sure how to fully describe it, and if he missed a single thing, then it wouldn't be included. After an hour, he nodded.
"Shop, I would like to purchase the following under my Free Purchase, if I may?"
*DING*
Another major purchase using an omitted limit? Should the System have kept you as Cheater instead of Frugal?
"Perhaps that is so, but as a businessman and programmer, I want to get the most out of any freebies," Joriya replied.

*DING*
Understood. Please proceed with describing your purchase.
"I want a two hundred mile diameter space station, made of adamantium, at Legrange 2, with full amenities and life support, powered by a series of fusion reactors all connected and reporting to a City Core. I want a Galactic Express Tunnel under the control of Gruu'gus placed in the space station, and a single teleporter connecting this helipad and the station. In the interior of the station, I want a training zone for space marines, including three instanced dungeon cores, one set to Noob, one set to Adventurer, and one set to Marine difficulty. Have the three dungeon cores subjected to commands from the City Core in charge of the full space station.
"For defense, I want multi-layered shields, rail guns, ion cannons, and a squadron of fighters. I want three screening corvets and a destroyer. For onboard defense, I would like a fully stocked armory ready for a full battalion of highly trained space marines, including power armor and war mechs. I'd also like a set of mining ships for preparing for the mining of asteroids."

News Report
"Hello folks, my name is Robert Drache, and this is the Galactic News! In today's news, Planet Earth has surprisingly joined the rest of the Galaxy, as everyone has received news of this tremendous achievement from the System. To think, someone would waste their personal potential to increase the standing of their World, and they don't fall under the flag of the Hilnarian Empire. Immediately after the creation of the Tunnel, the Navy of Gruu'gus sent their 1st, 8th, and 17th Fleets to protect the currently backwater planet.
The Emperor of Hilnaria has issued a statement that demands the insult to his honor and has issued a three adamantium coin bounty on whoever serves Gruu'gus! Gruu'gus has in fact placed a one mythril piece bounty on all members of the Hilnarian Council, their Spies, and agents. It looks like we will likely see a new chapter of Galactic War!"

Battlefield Restart (Old Version)
Simon has always been the type of guy who would calculate before attempting anything. He was kinda like a Living Computer. Things went well in his life as he was going through high school, but one day he found himself transported to another world. The first time it happened, he lived honestly as a Grand Hero. The second time it happened in College, he lived vicariously as a Beast King. This didn’t happen a third time, which lead to many things happening until he gave up to live his life. He adopted a grandson, and started to live life while believing that he was needed more on Earth now. However, the forces of the Other World disagree.

Beyond the Bridge
There are many worlds, many multiverses, and you can move between them via the Federation's Bridge network - magical gateways to other worlds. The world dubbed "C'thon" by its inhabitants - or Gamma-Theta-Nu-649, if you ask the Federation's bureaucracy - was deserted when the Federation found it. The "civilized" races had all died out centuries prior, and the wilderness had grown downright feral in their absence. Now, the lonely Federation outpost of Bridgetown is under constant threat from the hungry wildlife, malicious fey, territorial goblins, and wandering undead that surround it. The town's distance from the Federation's centers of power means that it gets precious few of the resources that it needs to stay safe and afloat. Enter the Guild of Adventurers, a plucky and disparate crew who do the Federation's dirty work in exchange for coin. One team, the first of many, crosses the Bridge to C'thon looking for fame, fortune, and (if they're lucky) the answer to a newly-discovered Prophecy. They'll get much more than they bargained for, although first they need to avoid being eaten by the local wildlife. Updates weekly on Wednesday. Chapters will be as long as they need to be for them to work, which means they can vary. If anything drops below 2500 words, I'll post an extra chapter if I have one ready. [PS: This is not a litRPG, but I do borrow heavily from TTRPGs for inspiration, and the general setting and storyline is from a TTRPG campaign I'm running.] [PPS: This is my first attempt at writing long-form fiction. I'm not trying to make a great piece of literature or have a multi-novel overarching plot, but hopefully it'll still be a fun story - let me know what you think in the comments.] [PPPS: Cover image is from a free-download wallpaper by Tyler Edlin; I do not own it, and will take it down immediately if requested.]
