《Collection of Short Stories?》[Test World]
Advertisement
The creator made the world as a test. The world was created to be in a state of constant change, of constant flux. This high energy state in effect created a super probability field allowing for a near infinite amount of possibilities. Now that sentient and intelligent life can easily appear due to the expanded probability field the creator started forming the thirteen seals. These seals were created to prevent anyone in this world from being able to use true magic. A key restriction created by the seals was making mana exponentially harder to control and contain. This in essence made it virtually impossible to circumvent or brute force the seals by amassing an ungodly amount of mana.
The seals were then incorporated into the key aspects of the world thus making it impossible to destroy the seals without destroying the world. This was also used to disguise the seals as the foundations of the world making it again unthinkable to destroy.
With the completion of the world and seals, the creator left leaving behind an empty world. Over time the world grew and evolved, changing until it was unrecognizable from before. Turning from a perfect geometric construction of magic into a vast void filled with planets, stars, and galaxies.
Aeons passed. Life came and went. The balance of the universe shifting between phases of growing and waning. Until it reached this very moment. The moment I came to the realization of the true nature of this universe.
When I first stumbled upon a seal. I thought it to be one of the foundations of the universe, but soon after deciphering the esoteric magic I understood its real purpose. At first I wanted to destroy the seals and peel away the thin veneer obscuring magic’s full form. Even though this was the fastest way my guilt swayed my choice to something far more difficult, but far less destructive.

I was going to disembowel the seals. I needed to slowly pull apart the magic like a person slowly unweaving the strands of a sweater. This was to protect the actual foundations of the universe from experiencing the backlash of massive magic construct destruction.
It took me several years, but I eventually took down one of the seals. In the next decades I searched for every seal until each one was fully deconstructed. I could feel the change in how magic itself felt as each seal slowly released. My mana pool increased by orders of magnitude, I could feel new aspects of magic never touched before, and many more exciting discoveries.
Despite all the effort the creator took to make it necessary for the universe to be destroyed when the seals were destroyed she overlooked the fact that anything could happen in this universe. She created this possibility despite trying to prevent it.

The End of Disappointment
What happens when the hero's journey ends with disappointment instead of happily ever after? Ghost. Butcher. Murderer. Some men attract names like flies, and Ryu Ishida unfortunately finds himself among their number. Once the son of a noble house, he knows firsthand what the quest for power in the world of the Rings can do to a man’s mind, yet he can only continue down the bloody path he started long ago, hoping that at its finish, he’ll find the end to his disappointment. Four hundred years after a portion of humanity was ripped from Earth and thrust into a world of magic, monsters, and swords, whatever cruel gods rule the Rings are stirring once more, and with them comes the chaos of progress. Monsters roam the land. Corruption breeds unchecked. Murderers slay their way to the heights of power. Ryu’s life could only be described as disappointing. Updates: 2-3 times a week. *Author Note: This story does not continue with the paint by the numbers Class LitRPG system for long, so while it technically is LitRPG, it is definitely on the less traditional side (or so I hope). Also, the cover art isn't mine.

Dominion Expansion (a 4X LitRPG)
Clay is one of the world's top players of 4X games, a genre where the goal is to eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate. He's also one of the only players in the world to so stubbornly stick to the one city strategy, a favorite tactic of his that involves only ever using a single city or planet depending on the game's setting. All that matters to him is winning with his favorite strategy, but earning the respect of his fellow players for taking a sub-optimal strategy to its highest level has always been a nice bonus. And now it is because of his skill and entertaining determination that he has been chosen to represent a higher realm in a strategy game where the fate of Earth and dozens of other worlds are at stake. To the victor goes the spoils, and the spoils include entire worlds and billions of lives. That's how he ends up representing the ascended realm of Hell in a grand "game" between an entire pantheon of godly beings and other higher powers. But while it may just be a game to those overseeing it, it is a genuine war for survival to those participating in it where billions of real lives will go to the victor of whoever wins, and many will die before the game is over. Quick Author's Notes: System inspired by Civilization, Endless Legend, Stellaris, and Crusader Kings 2. Combat mechanics inspired by the Total War series. Slow-paced with many long-term plans. Protagonist has a personality heavily inspired by Ron Swanson. Know who that is and love him? You should like Clay. Know who Ron Swanson is and hate him? You'll probably hate Clay. Planning on writing every single day (turn). Days with important things happening will have the system/game mechanics be the priority of the chapter. Days where there isn't really anything important happening will be more slice-of-life and focused on character interactions. Designed a dice-based randomized map generator to create the world as the story goes on, so I don't even know myself exactly what's going to happen as a lot is dependent on world generation. Tech tree with hundreds of technologies already designed. There is a "harem," but it's not the main focus, the girls won't be cardboard cutouts, and I'm not going to completely forget about any previous women in the relationship whenever a new one comes along. One last thing. The "game" starts off with primitive technology level. The current plan is for the "endgame" tech level to be equivilent to WW2-era technology. After that and war just gets boring until you end up in space. Cover is temporary and made from royalty-free stock images while waiting for the real cover's commission to finish.
