《Beyond The Worlds[BTW]》Ch 50:False gods. The second world

"Haze, how are sales going?" Shin asked. The game was already released and had the potential to be a milestone in the gaming industry.
"Master, more than 10 million copies have already been sold, and the numbers keep increasing. By my estimates, we could reach 100 million in 1 week."
Haze had done a lot to make this game as popular as possible. The game was also spectacular, so there would be no problems with sales.
"Well, what about the consoles?" Shin had made these consoles the best he could.
"The basic version is being sold in a quantity very close to the copies of the games, because people end up buying both to play. The advanced version is being acquired mainly by the upper-middle-income people or the rich people."
"Well, the basic version is pretty cheap; however, the advanced version is a little more expensive." Shin had done this on purpose.
"Well let's just wait." He decided to wait for the results.

"Your game is amazing!" Akira was playing too. She specialized in summoning because she could summon all kinds of creatures.
"Is it really okay for you to give me these early benefits?" Akira had an account full of items for her to use. If players could see these items, they would simply say Akira was using Hack
"Just use it if you want. You can play the normal way too." Akira could simply not use the items.
"Do you like invocations?" Shin asked curiously.
"I love that!" She was very fond of summoning and commanding creatures.
"Well, the game will explode with players in a few weeks, so you need to progress fast." Shin gave Akira some tips.
"I don't have classes these days so I'll beat them all." Akira said. She would strive to surpass current players and enter the ranks.

'Invocations…'
Shin thought about Akira's words. After thinking through some hypotheses, he showed a smile.
'Well, if you like it that much…'

Shin was packing some things for the mission. He didn't have space storage, so he'd have to carry his stuff normally. he decided to bring clothes and food, because he didn't know the details of the world.
"Master, will you go on a mission today?" Haze asked
"Yes; however, you won't even notice I left." Shin replied.
"Master, is it possible for me to go too?" She wanted to help him as much as possible; however, she couldn't go with him.
"Well, the world I go to may not have nets so it will be difficult to take you." Shin said.
"It is a pity." Haze wanted to go with him.
"I will take you with me next time." Shin would try to build a body for Haze;however, he needed to acquire some things first.
"Thank you, master."

Shin appeared in the empty room. The other members were already waiting for him. Shin chatted with the other members for a while before asking a question.
"Origin, why can we speak and understand the languages of another world?" Shin asked. He had this doubt since he had arrived in the world of Omui.
[After joining the group, you gain this ability automatically.]
"Good." Shin found 'Origin' very practical.
[Now that everyone has arrived, I'll tell you the details about the mission.]
"Which world will we go to?" Naomi asked.
[You will visit a world called Lamoria. This world is a little special.]
"Why?" Shin asked.
[Because it has a small amount of divine energy. This divine energy ends up modifying some people's bodies, making them gain powers far above average.]

"Divine energy? Isn't it the energy the gods use?" Shin thought that this world could be more dangerous than expected.
[Yes. Probably because some God had a battle in that world, so the remaining divine energy ended up causing some changes.]
[The divine energy has modified the bodies of some humans, making changes to their Physiology, so they have powers far above normal; however, their powers are infinitely far removed from the gods.]
The gods have an extremely high amount of divine energy in their bodies; however, the modified humans of the world of Lamoria have only a tiny amount compared to gods and demigods.
[They also cannot use divine energy, although their bodies have been modified by it.]
"Why?" Shin asked, curious.
[Because their capabilities don't allow it. Some people can use divine energy before reaching divinity;however, these people are not easy to find.]
[Essentially, divine energy is not exclusively of the gods;however, as it is very difficult to use it, only divine beings usually have access to this energy.]
"I see, despite having contact with the divine energy, they cannot make use of it." Shin found this world interesting.
[The humans of Lamoria, after achieving far above-average powers, ended up developing a God complex.]
"False gods." Mari said, with a smile on her face. She thought these people were very idiotic; however, she found this world much more fun than the one before.
[Exactly! Your mission is to defeat Surtur and protect Dragon's heart.]
"Surtur? Dragon heart?" Naomi didn't understand the two terms.
[This you will need to find out for yourself.]
"Well, that explanation helps a lot." Shin thanked Origin for the explanation.
"Is it okay for Airin and Naomi to come with us?" Mari asked. Airin and Naomi had elven characteristics, so humans might find that suspicious.
[Although it's a little unusual, in Lamoria's world there are humans with slightly different characteristics than normal.]
"Well, in case something goes wrong, I can fix it." Shin had some methods to solve this problem.
They nodded and became more reassured.
"Are you ready?" Shin asked.
"Yes!" 5x
[Well, I wish you all the best of luck.]
Shin and the others were teleported by the origin.
-
"It hurts! These space travels cause a bit of a headache." Naomi commented.
"Well, where are we-"
"W-WHAT?!" Naomi was shocked when she looked around
"Why the hell are you screaming?!" Mari opened her eyes after the headache passed;however, she had the same reaction as Naomi.
"H-How is that possible?!" Mari looked around with a little panic.
"That…" Ryuu also found the situation a little unfavorable.
"WHERE 'S SHIN?!"

Well, like everyone else, he changes. Is it a good change or the very opposite? Who knows. All Amon knows is that he's not normal anymore. (I don't own the cover photo.

8 53Omnicrafter (A Crafting Adventure LitRPG)
Countless twenty-something-year-olds around the world wish every day for a chance to go back in time to start practicing their passions sooner in life. Tabitha is one such woman. With all of her youth spent playing online games where crafting was as simple as gathering materials and clicking a "craft" button to put them together, she never gained any actual experience in making things. Every attempt to create something in the real world is met with disaster. Her heart yearns for being the master crafter of her virtual youth, but she's the type who burns water when trying to cook. That changes when she wakes up and finds herself in a game-like fantasy world where crafting comes as naturally to her as breathing. She still has to put in the hard work of crafting herself, but the system helps her out to make what was once impossible for her possible. She gets all the fun of making things and flexing her creative spirit while not needing any years of training nor study to build her skill up! While she might not have any idea how she got to this strange world, she does know that she's not going to waste her chance and is going to make the most out of this new opportunity to craft everything! An "Omnicrafter" was what they called people in the MMORPGs she played who maxed out every single crafting class, and that is exactly what Tabitha plans on doing with her new life! The crafting side of this series is heavily inspired by games like the Atelier series and the critically-acclaimed Final Fantasy XIV (which has a free trial, you know!)*. If there's a problem, it can be solved by crafting. Also, in case the title and synopsis didn't make it obvious enough, this series is going to focus on crafting all the things. Wooden spears and protective cuirasses? You got it! Healing tonics and farming equipment? Sure! Elaborate cupcakes and customizable fantasy golems? Darn straight! Weapons with a broken amount of different buffs applied to them due to the crafting process and materials used? You know it! The most amazing fishing rod to ever exist? Well, obviously. Fishing is the true endgame only after crafting, after all! So, if you like alchemy, blacksmithing, carpentry, cooking, leatherworking, tailoring, engineering, rune forging, magical enchanting, or basically any other type of crafting found in RPGs, come check the story out! An omnicrafter doesn't just focus on one specific type of crafting. A true omnicrafter is the best at all types of crafting! *This is a meme, I'm not sponsored by FFXIV, please don't hate me.

Hello? Traveler? Hi. My name is Silas. I’m the Chronicler around here. Might I entreat you to stay with us a while? We are a meager fleet of artships, eking our way across the charred and shrewd universe. Please, join us around the table and tell us your story. Our lives depend on it. I’m sure you know this world proves demanding, strange, and lonely. But here we go together, a caravan fleet of spacefarers, challenging the starry frontier, investigating the strangeness. Our warp-drives run on inspiration—a volatile fuel collected from the active minds of the artists, writers, and musicians among us. But the clock runs out—the Heartless in their scarships seek to destroy all that is beautiful, systematically deconstructing all creativity in order to fuel their weapons and feed their evil powers. We’ve all been hurt by those hateful devourers. We’ve all lost loved ones. But no more. No more, I say! Together we unite and make our arduous journey to the dreadful Shattered Suns—the home of our enemy. Once and for all the question shall be answered—the path to life shall show itself. **** If you would like to read the Artifacts which Silas and the Sojournor crew restore, visit our patreon page.

8 95Not Another Isekai RPG Story Alternate
The story ends at Alternate Route Finale. Ch 2-2 and on can be treated as Extra Chapters. I still hadn't edited that one and it's low on priority. I may come back to it if I'm in the mood. Most of the portions of the story will NOT focus on the skills, stats, grinding or battles. More about the dialogues (or the internal monologues) and the MC interacting with the world (or glitching, if you name it.). ... With parts of his memory lost, Takeshi, a 25-year old lazy office worker was transported to a game world. Using his casual knowledge on video-game mechanics, join Takeshi's journey as he discover more about the world, his companions and himself. (only if you're interested though.) My personal review: from ch-2 on expect a lot of perversion going on. It can be pretty weird, like the MC want to be a girl and Y*ri other girls, Fut*nari folks, Traps, the mention of t*ntacle monsters and some lulzy display (like shoving a morning star up someone's b*tthole in retaliation). In here, the MC will discover new things as he kept on exploring and trying different stuff. This story will mostly be character-driven. Explanations about the world and its mechanics was kept to a minimum. The MC's on the shameless side with not much real-life common sense (maybe) and he's (probably) not righteous at all. The other characters can be pretty weird as well. It won't focus on romance. Well that's about it.
