《Re: Rock》Day 1 - Knowledge (1)
Advertisement
There was nothing for the lost soul. Without anything to exist upon he could not feel the torrent of time tearing away at the world. First it was years, then decades, then centuries - yet still he lay silent. Milleniums past, hurdling even the greatest of forces to be washed away into the midst of nothingness. He, however, still laid without a notice.
[Error] Alchemy Spell: [Genesis] has been altered. Merging of the item [Grimlore's Soul] with [The Medium] complete.

'[Error] NaN.exe' has been born'
-
The nothingness ended. First there was ignorance, awake but presuming sleep. Then there was the slow realization that reality had inturrupted what was the null. Still, however, the dream and reality wtill interwove into an illusion of memory, where the soul still could not distinguish anything.
Finally, there was the awakening. There was opening of the eyes, and with it, the mind. It shocked the soul into existence and at last, after the end of countless ages, he woke.
Congradulations!
You have been born into the world as a [Rock Golem]
Would you like to proceed with the tutorial?
[Yes]
[%MISSINGFILE%.exe]
'What?'
The soul was still groggy and tired. He could barely comprehend anything at the moment, but his mind worked fast and efficiently, and after only a few brief seconds he remembered everything.
'What happened? The experiment, the creation! Did I mistakenly seal myself into the Rock Golem?'
He pondered the blue screen, looking through it before being utterly confused by the ending.
'What is MISSINGFILE.exe? Something doesn't sound right there. I definitely should not touch that, not after the whole experiment fiasco. 'Yes' it is.'
Welcome to the world of [Alezerania]!
This is a world of a single continent known as [Terra], and around it are surrounded by a massive ocean called [Immensae]

Inside it, the land is divided into many subgroups, where many [Races] rule over a part of it. The [Races] are divided into two types:
[Humanoids] and [Monsters]
[Humanoids] level up to increase their [Class], which can bring them to perform better at the class-specific tasks!
[Monsters] level up to evolve, obtaining the traits of other slain races to assimilate into their own, so that the strongest survive.
Note: [Races] between the two have different meaning depending on the usage. [Races] refering to [Humanoids] refers to the different types of [Humanoids], not the distinction between [Humanoids] and [Monsters]. [Races] refering to [Monsters] also share this.
[Continue to the next section]
'This is... interesting. This is all standard knowledge, but I need to see if there is more to this.'
He pressed on.
Individuals of [Races] have [Levels] which increase their ability in general.
A higher [Level] generally indicates that they are stronger, while a lower one would indicate the opposite.
When one levels up, they gain [Attribute Points], which can be assigned by the user to improve different aspects of themselves.
Individuals also have a [Ranking] which determines the ability or potential of their [Race] or [Class]. They are, from lowest to highest:
[F] [E] [D] [C] [B] [A] [S] [SS] [SSS]
This [Ranking] also determines rarity, and as a general rule of thumb higher [Ranking] means that they are more dangerous.
[Continue to next section]
The soul looked at the screen with a great smile. While the general knowledge was rather plain, it did however give off a crucial point. It confirmed the existance of the [SSS] Ranking, while also confirming that it does determine rarity. These had been huge points for debates when he still resided in the damned kingdom and his arguements at this was one of the reasons he was expelled.
'Take that, dim-witted fools!'
It certainly felt great to be right. Even if the others were dead and could not care about it less.

No More Respawns
Synopsis: The first time Allen died, he was forced back into a living hell where death is temporary, and power is all that matters. With evil and depravity as the rule, tragedy becomes comedy and life becomes an act. Only a deal with a shady god can get him back to his old life, but what happens if there’s nothing left to save? Maybe hell isn’t so bad if you have infinite lives… until you don’t. Needless to say, it’s all fun and games until there’s no more respawns. Foreword: This story is meant primarily as an action adventure and secondarily as a dark and nihilistic comedy. It may not be readily apparent in the beginning, but that's what I have planned (I feel the need to emphasize the dark; don’t rage at me if it gets too ‘traumatizing’ or something). I’m going to take my time with this, so it won’t immediately inundate you with doom and gloom. This is also a comedy, remember? On that note, if for some cursed reason you just can't handle either the references or the jokes, I am willing to battle in the comments. Anyway, I still put a significant amount of effort into the system, so I hope you enjoy that part. It is a little bulky, I'll admit to that, but I wanted to try something new and its more fun when there's more depth to it. Regardless, I still have a lot of fun doing math in the middle of writing a fictional story (/s). I also want to see if I can keep from messing up the pacing. Many times, I end up going too fast because I'm afraid of the story getting boring, which tends to ironically have the opposite effect. I'm still learning I suppose; we'll see how things go. Lastly, please leave reviews and comments, they really mean a lot to me and (usually) help me improve considerably. I'll be asking for feedback in the polls and I do still check the old ones from time to time. Notes: The story takes a bit of time to develop; give it time if you're here for drama, grimdark, or antihero. The system is all blue boxes and I'm not half-assing the numbers. Chapters will be between 1k and 2k words usually. I always use the oxford coma, fight me. Might drop if rating falls below 4 stars, idk. It depends on how my life is going. Cover drawn by yours truly in MS paint. (I have skill, I know)

8 98Emissaries - A Kai Side Story
After the Qua-Toynian sovereign's bold and audacious statements spread like wildfire across the country, the Takamori administration pondered on exploring the truth behind this and using the data to raise morale in the trying times brought by the transference. Among others commissioned by the government to investigate the validity of the aforementioned statements, a group of scientists set out to explore the new world, unaware that their mission would have them rediscover previously untold stories and uncomfortable truths buried underneath thousands of years of earth. This is a gaiden (side story) of the Summoning Japan (Nihonkoku Shoukan/日本國召喚) fanfiction "Summoning Our Country - NHS Kai".
8 189Another War
Some would say that he was a savior. Another would say he was a murderer. Somebody else would say he was a warrior and an assassin. Some may also say that he was every women's dream, a heart-breaker, champion of Chaos. But one title stands out among all the other ones. Love of Artemis and Kronos.
