DraconisViridis
The vastness of space… The void… The bright pinpoints of light floating all around… The infinite variations of the planetary systems, from atomic, to planetary, to lunar, to solar, to galactic… It all blows the mind if thought about all at once. It is troublesome for the human mind to grasp atomic structure, let alone up-scaling to planetary systems.
The atomic world goes from the lightest element, all the way through the various elements and their isotopes to the heaviest, and radioactive elements. Their nature eludes scientists, their balancing forces unexplained, their origins unknown. All they can do is work with them and their known properties, experiment, and hope to find more.
That is only on this planet too, and there are more out there. They might not be the same; the rules might change outside this gravity well. The only law in this universe is that there is no universal law.
While the above statement has an obvious flaw to its logic, the idea remains the same. Laws of the universe, and even multiverse, are in a constant state of flux. The speed of light is not constant. The dimensional barriers between planes of existence have weak points. On this planet, there are multiple dimensional barriers, known as ‘zones’.
Now, they are not exactly solid barriers. Anyone with enough strength, technology, or know-how can pass through at any location. However, most choose to use the known entrance and exit points for convenience. The random locations do not provide a constant exit point into the other zones, which is effectively a death sentence if a man happens to warp into a women’s bath in full session.
In this particular zone, it is remarkably similar to earth. There are oceans, continents, islands, and people. However, that is where any resemblance ends.

There are far more than the standard humans that are classed as people. There are the beast kin, the dwarves, the elves, the giants, and the nature sprites and spirits. Recently, there are also the AI.
These all have their home ‘zone’, but have chosen to congregate here in this ‘master world’ which has environments suitable for them all. Wars are wild affairs, as there are normally far more than the two obvious factions involved. The humans get along well with the dwarves, the dwarves with the beast kin, the beast kin with the sprites and spirits, the sprites and spirits with the elves, the elves with the giants, and the giants with the humans. It all goes full circle, and there are many hidden alliances.
So, without any truck-san involved, a nameless individual from Earth dies. It was the portable weaponized laser he tried to make – the battery chamber wasn’t vented, and went off like a pipe bomb when the battery failed under overload. So, as he left his erstwhile body, he looked to the stars, and felt himself drawn to this new world.

The Genesis System
Genesis. It is the end of countless stories. The end of thousands of universes, billions of planets, and trillions of lives. But what is taken may also be given, as shown in the story of Cael King. A young man of Earth, knowing only a life of study and work in the relentless and endless pursuit of satisfaction. This is the origin of his story. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Inspired by the system used in The Legend of Randid.ly Ghosthound. The system is an homage but the characters, world, and story are unique. I will post as often as I can and, given that I am not starting work until July, that should be pretty frequently. If you have any suggestions or comments please feel free to leave them as this is my first story and I'd love to improve both it and my writing style. This is my Patreon.

A Virtual Invasion
An invasion from another dimension is shut down by an Empire's traitor and the world has a scant few decades to build the strength to resist a multidimensional Empire. How will the world fair when no one even knows its doom is one barred gate away? Fortunately, the traitor has a plan. Maybe with a bit of luck and planning, he can build a force to defend the world without anyone realizing it. Author's Thoughts: What is litRPG (From wikipedia) - LitRPG, short for Literary Role Playing Game, is a literary genre combining the conventions of MMORPGs with science-fiction fantasy novels.[1] LitRPG is a literary genre where games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story. A LitRPG work simultaneously narrates the story of characters inside and outside of the game-world. At least some of the characters in a LitRPG novel therefore understand that they are playing a game: they are 'meta-aware'. So, while Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel, a book about people creating avatars and interacting in a Lord of the Rings MMORPG would be a LitRPG novel.Why do I read them? You know, I am not too sure. I love MMOs. I played them, quit them, joined up and repeated the cycle. They are fun! They are a massive waste of time but so are most games. Do I want to read about someone else playing them? Sort of?The advent of VR and the possibility of VR someday becoming so immersive that you can't tell them from reality sets the imagination on fire. What if this could be life? But most stories fall short. At the end of the day the protagonist hangs up his VR helmet and goes to have dinner with his mom and dad or other family and it becomes meaningless. It's like the story that ends because the main character woke up and nothing you read matters.There have been some books that explore the concept of the intersection of reality and total immersion VR. Enders Game is a classic. There were a few others that escape me but they exist, however, the cross between the game and reality is weak.So what if the game was real? The technology needed for total immersion VR is so advanced that by the time we reach that goal technology should have naturally evolved to include several items. You must have direct neural input. You simply can't have a total immersion (all senses and perfect presence) experience without this basic prerequisite. If you have direct neural access, you can probably do neat things like feed knowledge and skills directly to that person. You can undoubtedly do many horrible things as well. Muscles are controlled by the brain. If you control the brain why would you let the body just sit there and rot? A person that sits unmoving for 24 hours a day will have their body whither away just like a coma patient. However, if you control the brain you could control the muscles. On a basic level, this would be isometric impulses, working muscle group against muscle group to avoid atrophy. Taken to its logical conclusion you would be able to gain muscle mass and program muscle memory. The flip side is that you could remote control their body... but let's not go there. So what would people do if it were real? Well, they would probably limit and regulate it since the drawbacks are very obvious. Even if you look at the basic aspects of this you can see some negative possibilities. Look at the Sword Art Online anime. Personally, I think they missed the boat by putting a bomb in the VR helmet. Do you really need a bomb when you have direct access to the brain?So what kind of events would you need to have a situation where the obvious drawbacks haven't been explored? Maybe a society where the advancement of technology has so far outstripped the explorations of its applications that ignorance was truly bliss? Okay, so I had to put in an alien invasion to kickstart the premise, but that was just one of the possibilities.

Passing Onto Fog
This is another attempt at the world travelling reincarnator. I dropped my other story because I didn't like where it was going and I felt trapped in the Narutoverse. This time, I'm going to have the main character travelling to more than just one world and they won't all be action based. Have fun and thank you! The first chapters are rough, but I believe I'm improving! Please stick around while I find the style I wish to write in!
