Cable glanced at the HUD; it showed the broken outlines of humanoids moving into the cavern. They had fearsome appearances from what he could piece together, and there wasn’t one without a visible scar.
“Nova, we really need a better detection system for next time. Let’s wait for now, and see what they do. I have a trump card lined up, it’s just a question of how long it takes to summon.”
“Very well Admin Cable, but please note I don’t trust them. They look like mercenaries or bandits. They are both greedy types of people, always chasing money.”
The leading humanoid strolled to the center of the cavern, and held his torch up to look around.
“Brats, we hit the jackpot! Now you know the drill, get in quick, grab the stuff and get out faster!”
“Aye Aye cap’n.” A small humanoid with a swinging tail and gleaming eyes glanced around with careful apprehension.
“Shut yer trap and get movin’! That mage isn’t shelling out coin for nothing, we have to be back before that pansy decides to start experimenting on us instead!”
“Boss, boss! Look at this one! It’s glowing brighter than the others, look, it’s flickering! Ooh, it’s shining - “ A small feathered humanoid with what looked like folded wings picked up the dungeon core and held it up.
“Featherbrain! Put that away and get the rest!” the big one snarled.
Cable looked at Nova, and nodded. “Time to stop this. Last thing I want is to end up in a magic lab.
Set target(enemy): leader humanoid.

The dungeon core flared with light, revealing the startled feather-kin and cat-kin. Green, blue and golden motes of mana streamed out, rapidly solidifying into the shape of a daschaser. Quickly turning towards the leader humanoid, it started whining with increasing pitch as the laser charged. Half a second later, a golden beam of pure energy phased through the targeted kneecap. As soon as the brigand hit the floor, another beam phased through his head.

Exuperius [DISCONTINUED]
Terravest. The northernmost continent of the world known by many names of legend, but is most commonly reffered to as Athora, has, for eons, served as the land of exiles. Human criminals, dark elves, grayskinned orcs and dwarves that preffer mining with machinery over the traditional pickaxe alike, have come to call this half-frozen hellhole their home. It is a land of great strife, calamity and crisis, where one legendary tale ends only to begin the next, heroes fall down and villains find themselves thrown into lava. Around seventy years ago, a legendary figure appeared out of seemingly nowhere and conquered three human nations, forming a kingdom worthy enough of being called a small empire. However, at the eve of his heirs ascension, the legend breathed his last, leaving this same bloated, chaotic realm without the pillar that kept it together. Already, the carrion nobility, still spiteful for being denied their "rightful" place below the sun, rise up and gather at the court, each eager to consolidate their own power in these troubled times. Tempers flare, power is exercised without restraint and no one expects the hedonistic prince to succeed at keeping the realm together. Alas, as is often the case with such tales, not everything seems to be as it might at first appear and the vain lords of the realm may yet come to regret their carrion will. --- The Content Warnings are there for a good reason. ---

Meaning: The End of the Starless Century
Magic was once a reality of everyday life, shaping the lives of the gifted and ungifted alike since the dawn of humanity. That all changed in the fires of World War I. Seeking to avoid catastrophe, humanity’s leaders enacted the Masquerade Order and segregated the magical community while also forming The Congregation to enforce the separation. As time passed, the awesome power of magic was forgotten by the world outside. This held true for a little over a century, but things begin to change when three individuals intersect in the peaceful town of Ithaca, New York. Noelle Sellers, a newly minted policewoman searching for her place in the world. Levi Wright, a mage living in Ithaca who is far more than he lets on. Lorelei Himmel, a juvenile witch in hiding out of fear of what people would do to her, and what she may do to them. As forces slithering in the darkness emerge from the murky depths of the world, the timeless battle for magic and for the future itself begins once again.

Shattered World: New Game +
Monsters have appeared and are attacking. The only hope for humanity are the gods who have come to help them. Granting their chosen the power and abilities to fight against the onslaught. Almost like a video game. Specifically, the video game Shattered Earth. A little too specifically like Shattered Earth? [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Some things about this story. This is a brutal world and a gory story, the gore is described. It is also NOT a power fantasy. This story depicts an Apocalypse, and humanities attempts to overcome it. There is more stuff to be noted that are different but those would be spoilers. Just know, if you are going into this expecting a litRPG power fantasy save the world story, you will not find it.
