Notification
You received the copy of Earth, Moon and Sun Year 2030 [Before Shadow Apocalypse]
Notification
You received the copy of Earth, Eye of the Apocalypse and Sun Year 2530 [Before Natasha Walker’s End]
“T-This is impossible!” My voice trembled in disbelief.
System: There is no impossible in Octavia. Those things are just a mere copy of your previous life. Be thankful to your God because he made your gaming experience more interesting.
The first planet is blue with white clouds and the white moon looks so peaceful. That world is small as marble and I want to touch it but another notification popped out before my index finger reached that planet.
Do you wish to visit Earth Year 2030?
> Yes
> No
I didn’t hesitate to answer ‘YES’ and my surroundings instantly turned into a place that I’ve been dreaming to experience. As I floated in midair, my eyes feast the view of the so-called blue sky, and ocean. The flying and swimming creatures are not intimidating to look at because they’re just too harmless but they just avoided me.
“System, is there a command to send me to my desired location?”
System: Yes. Just say the name of the location.
“I want to see a damn forest. A very wild one.”
Then a holographic image of a map appeared right in front of me and the red dot displayed in Brazil.
System: This is the best Amazon rainforest. Do you wish to visit that location?
“Yes.”
After the confirmation of my answer, I was sent to the rainforest and saw many green plants. Then those small wild animals avoided me just like the other creatures I met before.
I guess they can see me.
I traveled the world for at least an hour while eating dessert even it disintegrates in my stomach and find so many useful things such as ancient technologies but I can’t find any humans.
System: Your God didn’t include humans in your inventory because they are unnecessary.
“How is this even possible? With this so much data for a damn simulation game, what kind of high technology did you use?”
System: …
System: The possible answer to that question is…
System: Your so-called Science is not capable of doing that.
I remained silent while wondering if this so-called god is serious about the nonsense he spouted after seeing and experiencing these impossible things. I’m so confused if my life is a lie to begin with or my brain has been experimented by him after I died.
Based on my experiences, the criminals’ brains will be put inside the Mental Jail. A jail that is full of simulation devices that connects to all prisoners’ brains. Their punishment is the most horrifying thing that I’ve ever seen in my entire life. A brain without a body and being played mentally is the worst.
System: Are you satisfied to witness this mere copy of Earth Year 2030?
“I’m not gonna lie… If I compare this to my world that I’ve been through… This place is paradise.”
I closed my eyes and imagined the world we lived in. The purple sky was covered with black smoke coming from the shadows that flying through the stratosphere which made us barely see the sun and the geo storms will be active once a year. The black oceans can’t be underestimated because the giant corrupted sea creatures can destroy our latest model of Navy Warships. Humans lived underground to avoid the shadows, corrupted plants or animals, geo storms and the moonlight. Our resources are too limited and war can’t be avoided.

Under my administration, 4 nations wage war against my nation but they lose anyway because they underestimated my army and technology. As a result, only my nation remained standing in the apocalyptic world. Fortunately, the radiation caused by the nuclear bombings were absorbed by the shadows. That kind of world is surely Hell.
System: If you want to exit to your Inventory, just say [Exit Inventory].
“Exit Inventory.”
After saying that command, I returned to the throne and the system continued the tutorials.
System: The 4th main command is Relations. It consists of:
> Companions
> My People
> Friends
> Army
> Generals
System: Companions refer to a list of your pets. After taming and naming the wild creatures, they will be your trusted war buddies. For now, you have 0 companions.
System: My People refer to a list of your citizens. For now, you have 6 Quintillion + unnamed and jobless citizens.
System: Friends refer to a list of your allies. For now, you have 0 friends.
System: Army refers to a list of your soldiers. After the intense military training, they will graduate and receive their badges depending on their ranks. For now, you have 0 armies.
System: Generals refer to a list of your 4 Silver Star Generals, the leaders of your legions. For now, you have 0 out of 8 generals.
I placed my right hand on my face in despair after knowing the numbers of my useless people, “Are you fucking kidding me? 6 Quintillion plus? They are not even considered as soldiers?”
System: Shadows can’t reproduce and your God accidentally copied and pasted a lot of them. Fortunately, Octavia is big enough to fill them all in his continent. Since your game difficulty is very impossible, they are unnamed and jobless.
I sighed, “Continue the goddamn tutorials.”
System: The 5th main command is Reputation. This command tells you if the location you entered is hostile or not. Make sure you created good deeds and raise a positive reputation.
System: The 6th main command is Loyalty. This new and unique feature tells you that your people, allies, soldiers and generals may betray you or not.
System: Since I’m done explaining the commands, let’s finish your 1st quest by moving your people a little further away from you.
“Why would I do that? They are already 10 meters away from me.”
System: Correction, its 100 m. Just do it so you can get your reward.
Since there are no choices, I have to finish this damn quest. Then my eyes gazed upon those useless scums as they kept their heads stuck on the ground.
“How should I address these freeloaders?”
System: Address them whatever you want. They won’t get angry or reduce their loyalty.
I stood up and ordered them on top of my lungs if I have those organs. I hope they can hear me.
“You sacks of shits! Stop doing that and listen to me! I order you to give me more space because it’s none of your business!”
There, I’ve done that shit but none of them responding to my order.
Notification
Your people couldn’t understand your language.
Please speak Shadow Language.
My anger blinded me as I walked closer to those shits and yelled, “ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! I LEARNED 40 LANGUAGES AND NOW YOU’RE ASKING ME TO SPEAK THEIR SHITTY LANGUAGE?!”
Then the red game screen appeared right in front of me.
Warning!
Zero Emotions couldn't handle your rage.
Ruler of Darkness title has been activated!
Additional 1,000,000 to all for your Stats and 100 Loyalty for your people.

Remaining Time: 4:59
Natasha Shadowwalker is in Demi-God Mode!
“˹DOMINATION˼!” I didn’t hesitate to use that skill against those things because I’m so mad about this damn game and I hate them.
Then another red notification appeared but I ignored it.
Warning!
All of your citizens have been paralyzed by your Domination skill.
“I DON’T CARE IF THEY ALL DIE!” I yelled as the force of my punch could blow them away from me.
After my rage dissipated, my quest is done.
Notification
Tutorial is completed!
Reward: 100 XP
LEVEL UP!
You reached level 1.
“Too much work just to level up once,” I muttered as I go back to the throne.
Before I could even sit on the throne, another blue notification appeared.
You acquired a new skill!
POWER PUNCH
You acquired a new title!
[I’M A FUCKING SADIST]
This title gives you 100 CHAR
Your citizens acquired a new title!
[I’M A FUCKING MASOCHIST]
This title gives them 100 Loyalty
I shivered, “System, how the hell they like my punches?”
System: They praised your powers even you hurt them. That’s the power of Loyalty. All of them have 300 Loyalty and they became very loyal.
“That is so stupid!”
System: You can do stupid things and acquire new titles.
“Don’t give me that recommendation and tell me what to do next.”
System: Since you look so impatient, there are some other ways to gain XP. Killing monsters is a common thing to do.
“So… Can I kill them?” I asked as my eyes stared at those so-called my people.
System: You can’t kill them if you’re not a god.
“Ptf! This is getting boring.”
System: There is another way to gain experience. Through finishing your quests.
“What are my new quests?”
System: A new quest will be available once you use your stats points.
“Stats points?”
System: You have 15 Stats Points. Which stats do you want to add these points to?
“Add those points to the lowest stat.”
System: You have 169 Charisma. Do you wish to add the 15 stats points to CHAR?
“Yes”
System: You have now 184 CHAR.
New Feature Updated!
Skill Tree has been unlocked.
“Skill Tree?”
I didn’t realize that I accidentally commanded and the holographic image of the so-called Skill Tree appeared which seem to be the 8 purple diamonds covered with chains.
“What are those things?”
System: Those are the locked Shadow Skills. Please tap the shining diamond to unlock a new skill.
Then I tapped the shining diamond that is on top of the other diamonds.
Notification
New Skill has been unlocked.
[SHADOWFICATION]
System: Shadowfication can transform any living or undead things into corrupted beings.
“Ah, shit! Not this one!”
Notification
You have a new Quest.
Please check your Journal.
“Quest,” I commanded and the title of my quest shocked me.
Babysitting
Teach your citizens some basics such us how you raised your child.
Rewards: ???
“I failed as a mother before and now the game is suggesting me to babysit those abominations? They’re not even my children!” I complained.
System: Remember the contract. You know what will happen if you failed.
“Grrrrr! Goddammit!” I grumbled and secretly used ˹Observation˼ of those shits.
As far as I know, there are 5 legged types of shadows in my previous life.
The shadows with child-like appearance and personality are called Children or Child if it is alone. Second, the shadows with a pair of winged arms are called Crows because of their humanoid bird-like appearance but their personality is unknown since they only flying in the mesosphere. Third, the shadows with the same height of an average adult human are called Passerby because they always passing through the walls and freak us out. Fourth are the shadows with the size of damn mountains and called Titans. Fifth are the shadows with the same height of an average teenager that have very slender legs were called as Swifters because it was mysteriously sneaky.
Next, the 4 long-skirted types of shadows.
Shadows with a height of 10 feet that always roaming around the surface of the oceans are called as Oracles because they always holding their glowing purple crystal balls. Mists are the shadows with an estimated height of 20 feet and genie-like appearance which rarely can be seen across the Earth. Shadows with a height of 30 feet that always standing alone their respective mountains while humming is called Howlers. The last one that fused with Emmanuel was an unknown powerful shadow. It has a height of 80 feet with countless energy balls that surrounds it and can scare off the shadows even the Titans.
System: Before teaching your people about the basics, you must use ˹Observation˼ and tell me what you see from them and why you must do this quest.
“Yeah. I did it.”
Their levels are the same but each type of shadows has different stats.

Ira’s Faithful
[On Hiatus due to health reasons] Synopsis: Fate has plans for everyone. There are many paths one can walk and many nodes one can unlock. Yet all mortal souls only start with one node. This has been the case for many years and while there are some records of people with more than one first node, these are as rare as wings on snails, roses made of air, or ropes made of dragon-hair. Elise Anker has two first nodes. She doesn't know why and the only one that could answer is an angry voice in her head. She hears it rarely and the voice is as helpful as a sword is effective against a Leviathan. She strives to become a mage, a knight or maybe something else entirely. The future is uncertain and unless she finds out what her nodes mean, she will never know what she wants to become. But her nodes won't unlock and the angry voice tells her that she needs to find a worthy foe to kill. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events, and incidents are either the products of the author’s imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. I am also not a professional author. This is simply a rough draft and therefore subject to change. Furthermore, this fiction is rather slow-paced for a rather long time. But compare it to a bundle of dynamite, you wouldn't want that to explode right in someone's face, would you?

Attempting to fix herself, Ava ventures off into the demon-infested world in search of her missing birth record. She will do whatever it takes to find it, even if that means breaking the laws and committing treasonous acts. But once Ava is caught, she quickly finds out it will take more than thievery and violence to stitch herself back together.
