《Universe Tales: Virtual Log of the Fallen One》The Start
Advertisement
Cries of pain and despair rang throughout the battlefield.
"NOOO!!!"
"Monster! MONSTER!!!"
"AGH!! Ahhhh..."
Dismembered and punctured bodies littered the grounds. Other than the heaps of corpses, there was another eye-catching thing on this desolate battleground of despair; the numerous black feathers that were scattered throughout the area.
"Stay away! Stay AWAY!!!"
A young man roared in despair as he slashed his sword while constantly retreating backward. The object of his terror was currently standing in front of him, slowly walking over with a large demonic twin-headed war ax that was dripping with blood placed gently over her shoulder. The figure was that of a female wearing priestess garbs with 6 raven black wings fluttering behind her back. She was staring back at the frightened young man with an innocent face as she closed in on him.
"[Detect]" The girl said in her bell-like voice. Her words had caused the young soldier to suddenly lose his bearings as though he was enchanted.
[Deftan Soldier Lv. 100]
"Only level 100? This quest sure is a downer..." The girl said as she quickly swiped her blade down on the young lad.
The young soldier was level 100, but he was quickly cut down under the young girl's demonic ax. This veteran should have been the light of hope that defended the Kingdom of Deftanus. However, right now, he was naught but a mere mortal in front of this world's harbinger of death.

With a swipe of her hand the Status page box disappeared from in front of her. Maria looked around the desolate battlefield with a little disappointment.
"This was supposed to be my 4th world...how come the average levels of the guards are so low? Could this be a beginner world?"
Maria let out a disappointed sigh. She shouldered her demon ax and spread her black wings. In the next moment, she took off and flew far away from the battlefield.
"I should go and complain to Death later...he gave me such a boring quest! What's so fun about bullying newbies? That's just boring!"
With the harbinger of death finally leaving the battlefield, the people who were left over finally cried out in joy and began thanking the gods for letting them live another day, however, a dark flash of light suddenly sprung in the middle of the desolate battlefield.
The dark flash quickly engulfed the entirety of the battlefield in a dome of black magic, completely eradicating everything and everyone in its area of influence. Once the dome of blacklight slowly dissipated, all that was left of the battlefield was a large crater, completely devoid of all life.
Up in the air...
"Phew, I really hate mopping things up...but at least Death had the decency to give me 'Unholy'."
The Fallen Angel, Maria, had completely wiped out the battlefield. With a satisfied smile, she quickly turned around and flew off towards the Deftanus Kingdom's Capital City.
"Let's hurry up and complete the quest~ All I have to do is kill that sleazeball of a King and it's over! The next quest better not be so boring or I'll give Death a few new breathing holes~"

With those demonic words being uttered so innocently by the girl, she quickly hastened herself over to her quest designation.
As she was flying, Maria's eyes couldn't help but be tinged with a little sadness.
"It wasn't always like this..." she mumbled sadly.
*********
A year prior, on December 17th, 2020, the new Full Dive Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game, or FDVRMMORPG for short, Universe Tales or Unitale, was released along with its full dive equipment.
The cost was a hefty sum, but it wasn't much for the young miss of the Heltania family. Inside a bedroom on the 2nd floor of a luxurious mansion, a 16-year-old young girl was currently unpacking a box that had the logo of the Universal Games Company on it.
Universal Games was the creator of the new cutting edge FDVRMMO, Universe Tales or Unitale. The game had been in the development stages since 5 years ago and it was only until today, only 8 days away from Christmas was it finally released!
Maria Heltania, the first young miss of the prestigious Heltania Family was a part of the shareholders of Universal Games. Her circle of friends has always been talking about the new and upcoming VRMMO Unitale ever since she had stepped foot in high school.
While Maria wasn't much of a gamer, her best friend Lizzy was a hardcore gamer, despite always placing in the upper rankings of their high school's semester exams.
"Oof...well, here's the helmet...then the power supply...uhm...what else was there again?"
Maria had finally emptied the box and many foreign-looking tools were placed in front of her. She hadn't been interested in playing the game, but because of her best friend's nagging, she had finally relented and pre-registered her very own FD equipment, along with the game of course.
"Uhhh...how do I set this up?" Maria wondered.
Even while reading the instructions manual, she still had no idea what to do. It wasn't because she was stupid, no, of course not. In fact, she was actually a pretty bright young lass. She always placed 2nd in her high school, just below her best friend.
Unfortunately for Maria, all the equipment placed in front of her was totally foreign to her. She had no idea which was which! Even if the instructions manual said to plug this into that and that into this, she'd have no idea which is which!
She's never used any sort of gaming equipment before so all the terms inside the manual were Greek to her. Fortunately her savior, in the form of her best friend, had finally come—or rather, stormed inside the room like a whirlwind.
"Wassup Mary~!"
"He-help, Lizzy!"
"Oh?"
Lizzy finally noticed the predicament her friend was in. The poor girl was all tangled up with the cables of the gaming equipment. Maria had struggled to try and plug the thing in by herself, but it all resulted in a failure and because of her blunder, she was suddenly put into this embarrassing situation where all the cables were being 'plugged' into all the wrong 'places'.
"Puhahahahat!"
"S-stop laughing!"
"W-what're you doing Mary?! Hahaha, how could you plug that up your....pfffttt ahahahaha!"
"Just help me already!"
"Fine, fine~"

The Voice of the World
Jason Elric used to be an ordinary college student living in the heart of San Francisco. He had a part time job, he played online games with friends he got along moderately well with, and he earned reasonably good grades. The worst he really had to worry about in life was turning in his coursework on time and not being late to class. Now, though? Now fighting for his life and running from a horde of giant frogs that want to make him their next meal is just another Tuesday. Thanks to a summoning ritual gone terribly right, Jason has found himself trapped in a world eerily similar to the role playing games games he used to play for fun. Unfortunately for the now ex-college student, everything happening around him is terrifyingly real and if he wants to survive, he’ll have to figure out how to exploit the system for his benefit before it’s too late. The Voice of the World is the first part of what is planned to be a multi-book, Isekai LitRPG story with crafting elements, set in the fantasy world known as Verdania. This is my first time posting online for public consumption, so bear with me as I work to find a style that people like. While I may occasionally write scenes that may deal with heavy concepts, expect this story to be primarily light hearted high fantasy. There will be a lot of common fantasy tropes involved, as this story got its start as a simple practice exercise, rather than any plan to actually post it. However, it’s grown on me, so I felt it’s worth sharing after all. Thus, if you’re looking for more serious/original/unusual stories, you might want to look elsewhere. For the rest of you, feel free to leave suggestions, as well as to point out grammar and spelling mistakes; I’ll do my best to make edits to correct them. I do my own editing currently, and it’s easy to miss things when you know what’s supposed to be there, so such call outs are highly encouraged. Content TLDR: No harems, probably no romance (unless it makes sense for the story later on) (it did, eventually), definitely no sex (keeping this PG-13 or close to it), limited profanity. Does/Will contain mixes of magic and technology (think Warhammer, Final Fantasy); copious amounts of blue tables; race, gender, and sexual equality concepts; crafting sequences; and (slightly, but not overbearingly) strong protagonists. If you don’t like these things, go elsewhere instead of downvoting people for content instead of writing quality. Update Time currently varies, due to personal injury, but the goal is 1/week on Wednesdays, with a possible smaller chapter on weekends if time/health permits.

My Newest, and at the same time, Oldest novel. This is a Rewrite of my very first novel that I begun when I was just starting out. It follows the story of Mark Floyd, a broken man who once tried to do what he thought was right... only to be stabbed in the back and thrown away.Now, pulled into a conflict that spans time and space, Mark has a choice to make; Stand up once more, even if it means facing an unknowable future, or let the Embers of his heart die and sink back into darkness. ----------------------------------- “For gold is tried in the fire, and acceptable men in the furnace of adversity”. Once part of a Special Ops team in the US Army, Mark Floyd thought he had seen the worst that Humanity had to offer. That was until his final mission, one that would leave him a broken and shattered man, betrayed by the Country he served, and abandoned by society as a whole. His dreams filled with nightmares of the ones he failed to protect, mind and memories clouded by booze and more, Mark finds himself stumbling through life without purpose or desire. Life isn't done with Mark yet, however. For as long as even a single ember remains in a persons heart, here is still yet hope for the flames of Passion and Hope to be Rekindled. When the dying embers of Mark's heart catches the eyes of a Being far beyond his understanding, Mark finds himself thrown into a situation not even his years of training could prepare him for. Will this new chance be Mark's hope at both Redemption and Recompense? Or will it simply be the final nail in the coffin for a man already dead to the World? [This is a rework of my very first story. The general story will remain the same, however a few details have been tweaked, the chapters have be Edited better and some chapters have been broken down into smaller chunks for better flow and consistency. The biggest change will be to the System itself; It will be a lot less "Game-like", meaning no stats, levels or similar aspect, though skills will still be present in the form of "Programs". Instead, It'll focus more on the Sigil's nature as super-computers and how they change the world around them. This should make for a much more "natural" and less info-dumpy system.
