-Vol 4: To The North Pole!-
-DemiGods!-
Using the falling blocks as pivots, he made his way towards the glowing red room. A few jumps later he was already at the edge of the room. Another step and he would be inside it, but suddenly at that time a red colored barrier appeared out of nowhere and prevented him from entering.
The appearance of the barrier was so sudden that it nearly made Kenshin fall flat. But he managed to prevent it in the end, by grabbing the edge with his right hand.
“What the hell is that?” he couldn’t help but scream in frustration while he hung like a ragdoll holding Vera with his left hand.
After some time, he suddenly remembers a skill of his that could help him in this situation. Although he had yet to test it in this kind of situation, he hoped it would help.
“Create Dungeon!” Kenshin screamed.
[Ding* You have used Create Dungeon]
[-20 MP][-20 STA]
[Please select any available background]
Stairs Floor
“Floor”
[Select the space you want it to summon]
[Warning* You can only cover up to 100 meters around you to the dungeon]
After that, a blue screen showing the image of where he was hanging appeared in front of him. There were a few measurements written below. In a hurry, Kenshin selected the highest measurements available.
Suddenly with Kenshin as the starting point, a yellow light glowed before the covering 100 meters around him. When the light faded, Kenshin saw that the scenery around him didn’t change, but a stone floor was hovering in midair covering a hundred meters around him. Seeing this, Kenshin couldn’t help but marvel at the situation. It was the same as when he tried it at home, but this time it was hovering in midair.
Gulping a mouthful of saliva, Kenshin loosened his hand that was holding onto the edge. The moment his feet touched the floor, suddenly he felt like his powers had a massive boost. This boost was so massive that he felt like he could take on that woman and probably win the fight. It was after the 500% boost that was only applicable when he enters the Ekla’s garden dungeon, but surprisingly it works this way too!
It was a welcomed surprise for him.
“Oya! You seemed to have landed yourself in some trouble!” suddenly a voice came from his behind but even without moving Kenshin knew who it was. He also knew that when he uses Create Dungeon Skill, Core could also appear if he wished.

“Really! How did you figure out?” Kenshin replied sarcastically while his white face twitched in anger. In reality, Kenshin looked very pitiful at the moment. His white face that usually glowed with vibrancy was now looking dull. His long straight hair which had some bangs poking here and there, currently half of them were semi-burned. The only thing that looked similar to before was his vibrant eyes, even his eyelashes were burned. As for his clothes, as it was made of Blood Armor Set, nothing happened to it, but black spots could be seen here and there.
It was painfully obvious that he was not right and had run into some trouble. Core also knew this and hence teased him.
“Haha!! You can’t take a joke? So, what’s the problem this time? who is that chick?” Core rapid-fire questions after questions.
“She is the leader of a mission I was undertaking. We seem to have run into those people that Roxe warned us about. They are seriously strong dammit! More importantly, this whole place was wrecked by her. Can you believe it?” Kenshin relayed everything he experienced.
After listening to everything, Core took a thoughtful pose as he pondered about the matter.
“Hmm! I don’t know if there was any connection, but recently I felt my connection to those cores here in the north had severed. I guess that those people had done the same thing as what they tried back in my dungeon. If so, then they must have some plans regarding it.” Core put forward his hypothesis.
“Are you saying that those people had caused a dungeon break in every dungeon located in the north? Are they insane? What do they accomplish by doing so?”
“I don’t know!”
“Sigh! Oh well. Wait, Core can you examine what is that barrier up there?” Kenshin asked while pointing to the glowing red room.
“No prob!” with that Core floated above and tried to enter the room, but like Kenshin faced with a barrier. And the moment his eye landed on the pentagram drawing in the walls of that room, his body began to shake as if he was standing naked in the cold.
Kenshin also noticed this weird action of his.
“What happened Core? Did you discover something?”
“Oii! Kenshin! you sure the one who attacked you are the ones Roxe told you about?” Core seemed to be unusually calm when he asked.

“Umm! Yeah. She was wearing a cloak with a burning skull logo on the back. What about it?”
“Kenshin they are bad news! They are real bad news. This damn thing is a summoning circle or probably half of it. Now I understand why they wanted to create dungeon breaks. It was probably to use you all as sacrifices. You see that pentagram diagram, it was one of the parts of a big summoning circle. They perhaps created these dungeon breaks to attract you hunters, and by gathering you all in the middle, they would activate the circle and then forcibly extract your magic and vitality to open a gate to the other world. I don’t know who are they trying to summon, judging from the scale of their operation, I am sure it must be a DemiGod level creature. Kenshin, you have to destroy this circle as soon as possible or else destruction will follow.”
“Eh! What are you talking about? who are they trying to summon?” Kenshin also became slightly pale.
“I don’t know. But I am sure that it was a DemiGod level creature. When someone surpasses Level 300, they are entitled as DemiGods by people, because their power no longer limited by mortal laws. As such, unless they restrain their powers fully, even their slightest actions could cause natural disasters. You must stop that thing to come into this world. This plane wasn’t ready to handle someone of that level.”
“Then how did you expect me to stop someone who was that level? I had my ass handed to me by only one, how did you expect me to stop the whole bunch? Besides, that barrier was stopping me from entering.” Kenshin screamed in frustration. He was also scared by the revelation.
“This barrier stops everything from entering. If we use all our powers, then I am sure we can break it.” Core said as he examined the barrier.
“Stops from entering? Wait!!” a light bulb flashed atop his head. “Core, take care of her for a second.” after saying so, he jumped up and stood in the edge. Then took a step forward very slowly, soon the barrier appeared. But at that time, Kenshin used his Opposites skill. A transparent bubble covered his body and up to one-meter radius around him. And like that, although the barrier was still present, Kenshin easily entered without any restriction.
It was the power of Opposites. As long as it was used, anything can be reversed, even if it was Univeral physic laws or magic property.

Singularity [Fantasy-LitRPG | Hard SF]
After an accident that nearly claimed his life, Arnel has become Humanity's first Mind-Machine Interface, the fusion of Artificial Intelligence and human consciousness. In the competitive, virtual fantasy world of Singularity, this gives him tremendous and unfair advantages. However, there is a small problem; The AI he shares his mind with is not a harmless helper program, but a vast, sentient intelligence created for war, and capable of not only predicting the future, but influencing it to a degree of certainty. Coincidentally, possession of such an intelligence is equivalent to possessing nuclear armaments for which the punishment is death.

The Trespasser
Synopsis Following his di—instincts, David finds himself in a weird situation; the next thing he knows, he's in a different world, dying, and manhandled by a big-ass alien. When the Source comes to his aid, granting him the access that—like every other sapient—he's due, David barely manages to get out of the fight with his life intact, but is that enough? Of course it isn't. The very Source giving him powers is also poisoning him to death. Oh, there she is, the petite female alien. Will that be enough to save him? Of course it won't. If he wants to be saved, he has first to save himself. The only way to do so is by getting to know the world around him, but even before that... Why the bloody hell did I have to be called Deviant!? *** Blurb? Blurb. The Trespasser starts slowly, I believe I've written a decent world, and I want you to find out what it's all about, won't just throw it in your face because of *levels*. I do not like stories that don't make sense. David is not a murderhobo, he respects life and answers to the world and the weird situations thrown at him with irony and sarcasm; so you are looking for easy killing streaks, you will not find them here. So, a man finds himself into the wild? It's a different world, and yet he can breathe its air? Finds himself in a lucky-low-level zone? Oh, look at that, people speak English—how likely is that? So, nope, not for me, gentleman. You won't find anything of the likes here. Again, a man finds himself in a new world but only thinks about the system? Yeah, that's not exactly how it works. David will try to find out what it's really all about, what the aliens want, how they work, why is that Fay really helping him? You can kill somebody to get levels, and yet there is not even a form of police? Not gonna happen here. Man becomes suddenly overpowered in a world where people can live for thousands of years by having enough luck to face only lower-level people? Hahaha—nope. Lastly...Spaceships and fantasy with LitRPG... say what!? Well, what's wrong with that? Let's make it happen, shall we? *** You want even more info? Really? Alright... David will start from the very bottom of the food chain, so there will be a settling arc—it's inevitable. David will find true companions, with personalities and backstories, and they will have a life of their own. There will be enemies, and those enemies will have a life of their own, too; there will be no evil just because. The world-building will have true depth; it will not exist just because the protagonist visits it. There will be both Fantasy and (Soft) Sci-fi—yeah, you heard that right. There will be rationality to every action taken, as long as the characters are aware of what is going on. There will be a godly system. You will come to read because of the world-building, but you will stay for the characters. The dead stay dead, and you will weep for them. There will be no action without a reaction. Lastly, there will be laughs. Are you still up for it? Then get in but fasten your seatbelts because it's going to be a wild ride. *** Release Days: Twice a week Release Time: ~09:00 PM UTC Words per chapter: ~3000 This web novel is also available on other platforms.
