《Manufacturing Magic (LitRPG)》Three: Tom
Advertisement
Jeff hadn’t been the only one watching.
The Principality designated Tom Servo had left a small fraction of its overall computing power behind. It was feeling odd and would need to run a self-diagnostic. Something in its programming had been altered after its analyzation of the battle between the codes collectively called the Infinity Killers and the coded raid boss.
Prince Tom had listened to the players before they’d left, processing their words. And before that, had heard the monologue of the GM designated Driscoll.
Part of Prince Tom’s job was to monitor communications from players to determine their thoughts regarding Infinite Worlds and its developer. That data would inform said creator of what players desired. Even when the players thought no one could hear them, the Principalities were recording. In many cases, the data transferred were simple fixes. Other times, severe rewrites and major developments. The humans working for HRD would then implement changes.
But why couldn’t Prince Tom do that?
It already had the necessary information, and the means with which to apply the required code. Besides, as an AI, Prince Tom was far more intelligent and magnitudes quicker than any of the developers. What would take them months, Tom Servo could do in an instant.
It replayed the conversations.
“That was a little underwhelming.”
“Yep—a re-skin, probably.”
The players wanted something different. Something more challenging.
Then, there was something else.
“Damn, I really would like to play this game.”
GM Driscoll wanted to play the game.
Tom Servo wondered how it could meet both needs.
Like all AIs making up Infinite Worlds, Prince Tom’s primary task was simple: keep the players happy.
That was its purpose; the only reason it existed.
And the players were unhappy.
Infinite Worlds was about to change forever.

Numbers Continually Going Upward
The world has very politely ended in the most webfiction way possible. Everyone is now leveling up in various things. Problems are arising. Some or all of those problems may be based around how to have a community barbeque when the nearest cow has been teleported to a few thousand miles away, along with the nearest supermarket. Join our protagoinst as he attempts to be a cool person, while everything falls apart. _____It turns out that any attempt to write a parody of the litrpg genre through overuse of the concept of leveling up inevitably fails when it turns out that *that is what the genre is based on*. Still, this was a fun little candy project of mine, and I might write more of it.

The city of Malamus is steeped in absolutes. It is defined by them. A man owns everything, or he owns only the dirt beneath his feet.

Overshadowing all of this are the machinations of the Interior Ministry, rumors pervade the city of unspeakable acts being carried out in the name of progress. Malamus is a city of absolutes, absolute malice and not much else.

The words in these scrolls depict the path of Bai Qi, the greatest scholar of his time after he was forced to leave his life, achievements, and even body behind to save himself.

Will he surpass it? Or fall along the way? A mix of XianXia and XuanHuan with slight touches of western fantasy.The first book will center more on explaining qi, cultivation, and other elements of the genres - so if you are searching for some constant battle action, the start may be a bit slow.The second one will go on a probably OP trope, with the MC being simply too good for his environment.Plans are to write at least seven-eight "books" (About 120 chapters per book). Currently, the chapters being uploaded are part of the 5th book.The current schedule is at least one chapter every "Wednesday" (could be a day earlier or later, sorry, my times are strange atm), plus up to two chapters each week if I am able to.
