《Breaking The Game》QUEST ERROR: Rex
Advertisement
“Whoa,” Rex said. He pulled his [Steel Rod] from his hip and threw it across the room. Not a moment passed before the rod completely halted its movements and froze mid-air. He had to reconfirm what was happening, but it was still amazing to see. His sword and shield locked in place the moment he took them off. It seemed as if Rex was the only thing that could move at the time. Thankfully, his armor didn't freeze as well. Genesis must have installed a failsafe to prevent that from happening, probably after it happened to someone else.
“NOTICE. [THE UNNAMED TEAM] HAS RECEIVED ITS FINAL MISSION. AS A RESULT, TIME HAS STOPPED UNTIL THE FINAL MISSION IS COMPLETED. ONLY MEMBERS OF [THE UNNAMED TEAM] MAY MOVE FREELY, AND ONLY THEY MAY SIT ATOP THE THRONE TO GAIN THE TITLE [DEMON KING].”
“Cool. So, where’s my team?” Rex said with a curt voice. The new scene frozen in time was interesting to see, but the safety of his team was more important. There would be plenty of time for The Unnamed Team to explore exotic areas that were equally as stunning. For now, the others were important. They may not rush to the throne, but there was no telling how long he had. It would have been best to reconvene and discuss who would accept the title.
“THEY ARE IN THEIR OWN TEMPORARY REALITY. ALL MEMBERS OF [THE UNNAMED TEAM] HAVE RECEIVED THE SAME MISSION PROMPT, BUT ONLY ONE MAY ASCEND. PLEASE, SIT ATOP THE THRONE AND COMPLETE THE FINAL MISSION.”
“Nah. Not until I figure out why you need me to.” Rex said with an arrogant voice. He emphasized the idea that he was supposed to do anything. He was fully aware that he shouldn’t be the next Demon King. His power was minuscule. His wits were limited. His knowledge about the world and its various monsters was laughable. Then again, the same could be said about the other members of The Unnamed Team. Maybe he wasn’t a bad choice after all. Genesis seemed to acknowledge that fact.

“VERY WELL,” Genesis said. The response was immediate yet slightly agitated. Of course, Genesis rarely spoke with emotion, so the irritation could have simply been a product of Rex’s imagination. The room then fell silent as Genesis proceeded to create and control an alternate version of Rex. The two gazed at one another. It was like looking in a mirror and seeing one’s own reflection. Both men even copied each other’s actions for a short while before one spoke with an all too familiar voice, “THE NEXT DEMON KING MUST BE CHOSEN. THAT PERSON MUST BE A MEMBER OF [THE UNNAMED TEAM].”
“That didn’t answer my question. Why was I needed if any of the others could sit on that throne?” Rex asked. He was annoyed that the Genesis Program was ending with such a quest. Only one person could achieve the title and position of authority. The others were left with nothing. If this was a competition, it should have been stated from the beginning. Rex never would have joined a team if he knew he’d eventually go against them.
“FOUR PARTICIPANTS ARE REQUIRED FOR EACH TEAM TO MAXIMIZE THE SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THE GENESIS PROGRAM. SELECTED FROM ANOTHER WORLD TO AVOID BIAS AND PRIOR KNOWLEDGE, THOSE PARTICIPANTS ARE CHOSEN BASED ON A VARIETY OF FACTORS FROM MAGIC APTITUDE TO ADAPTABILITY.”
“Makes sense why you chose us, I guess. Team formation, races, errors, and treatment still don’t have an explanation.” Rex said. It made sense to him. A team of four was more likely to complete the Genesis Program than a lone wolf. That much was obvious from everything The Unnamed Team had been through. Even if Rex reached the max level, he would be hesitant to take such a task alone. The few questions that bothered him now involved the finer details of the system.

“PARTICIPANTS ARE RANDOMLY ASSIGNED TO THEIR RESPECTIVE TEAMS. THE SAME IS TRUE FOR RACES. NOTE THAT IT IS QUITE RARE FOR ALL FOUR MEMBERS OF A TEAM TO BE HUMAN. TREATMENT VARIES DEPENDING ON THE TEAM’S RESPECTIVE FINAL MISSION AND CHANGES DEPENDING ON HOW WELL A TEAM PERFORMS. IT IS WHY [THE HEROES OF THE VOICE] WERE CONSTANTLY REMINDED TO HUNT FOR SINS WHILE [THE UNNAMED TEAM] WASN’T. AS FOR ERRORS… THEY ARE ERRORS… THEY OCCUR WHEN PARTICIPANTS DO NOT ACT AS PREDICTED…"

Mana System - Hello, World! [Complete]
What would you do if your world collapsed and you had less than an hour to choose a suitable role that would allow you to survive? Would you give in to despair? Paul choose to fight for survival, now he has to face off against predatory animals, monsters, and even the land itself all modified by the Mana System. Eventually, he will have to face off against a foe even deadlier than the rest. Humans! I feel I need to add this disclaimer because some people really get their panties in a twist when they reach the second arc. This is not a grimdark story. Yes, there are portions that are dark and grim, including slavery which is why I have the traumatizing content box checked. If you can't stomach a little slavery and torture, probably best to find a different story to read. Complaining that you felt lied to isn't going to make me change my story. If this offends you, leave a review.

8 89Cornerman (Naruto)
A melting icecap, a bubbling spring or the soft autumn rain; small trickling streams that, over many years, grow into mighty rivers. Within every man lies the call to power - it is as much a part of him as his very own blood. The foolish drink from that vital liquid, but the wise know that strength is not worth seeking. Instead, they desire that which lies beyond it. They follow the mighty river to its source. Eyes wide, they spot the glistening icecap. Ears open, they listen for the bubbling spring. Nose twitching, they smell the scent of the autumn rain. They find those small, trickling streams. They are led to the source from which strength flows. It is that which beats within the bosom of every man: a blood-red heart.
8 111Humans Must Adapt!
Humans Must Adapt is a First Person point of view from the eyes of slightly crazy and totally not a masochist MC. The setting takes place on a copy of earth with a different name. A cataclysmic event causes the native humans to be usurped from their natural place at the top of the food chain. Time has now passed, and the Humans have managed to settle themselves into mediocrity. But this is not enough.Note: I don't plan on including sexual content. The MC won't have an end game goal right from the start. Feedback is welcomed. The MC is a Tamer.
8 232Grumbo (Grian x Mumbo) Fanfic
Okay so I need to point out a few things. 1. I only ship the characters Grian and Mumbo, not Charles and Oli. This means that I am just shipping fictional characters. Basically, I ship Grian and Mumbo (as real live people) but not as Charles and Oli. (hopefull that makes sense)2. I don't ship a sexual relationship between them, for those who don't know, I don't write things like that, and I also don't generally like that. 3. This is most likely gonna include other hermitcraft characters, (again, the characters, not the actual people who play the characters) but none will be in any relationships they'll just be the friendly background people and friends. Rankings: #1 in grianxmumbojumbo#3 in hermitcraft7#15 in Mumbo (out of 494 stories)This story will be taken down if any hermits related to the story state they are uncomfortable with being a part of shipping/fanfiction (or names will be changed, depending on the person). If either Grian or Mumbo states they are uncomfortable with being shipped the story will be taken down immediately! I think that's it... well, enjoy the story!

"Why don't you ever go into the ring?", he asked me, while my eyes drifted from the hanging bag in front of me to the guy who stood next to it. "I'd prefer to ruin the bags rather than someone's face," I tell him, smirking as his eyes went wide and he backed away. -A Park Jimin of BTS Fanfiction.-Created: January 14, 2018Ended: January 21, 2018
