《The Precursor》What?! I'm the Precursor!
Advertisement
I woke up with a "gasp". Or at least I think I did, but I didn't hear anything. And for that matter, I can't see or feel anything either! All I know is that I'm in a void of complete nothingness.
Well, this is interesting and boring.
1, 2, 3, 4, ...... 10069, 10070.... 420000, 420001. I started counting as I had nothing to do. I'm going to go insane soon. My mind starts to feel numb. Then a massive amount of pain hits me.
Pain is annoying. All I could do was curl up in a ball and wait for it to stop feeling like my mind is getting shredded.
After what felt like an eternity(which it was technically), the pain stops. Instead a cool bliss is spreading through my "body".
{Booting up the system}
{0%....50%.....99%...100%}
{System initialized}
{Hello Supreme One, I am your personal system}
I was shocked. I got my own system that respects me! At least so far. "Hello?" I tentatively asked.
{As I suspect you are confused, I will explain everything that is happening. Your excellence is in Nothingness, the origin of everything. You are the Precursor, designated by the Nothingness to create. Everything that you can imagine can be instantly created out of Nothingness. Your imagination is literally your limit. You are Eternal, Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omni creational.}
I didn't even know how to respond from the emotional roller coaster of excitement and hope. But I was a bit confused since I felt very weak right now.
As if reading my mind, the System reassured. {Supreme One, before you gain all your abilities you must create a body and a name for yourself. The name is the most important thing for you because the Nothingness will inscribe your name onto itself to allow you to manipulate it. The significance of your body is to allow the power of Nothingness to be channeled in you.}

I needed time to think. All that information was just dumped onto me. I was in shock. I was just a normal horny high school boy before this! Now, I'm some sort of Supreme Being that has the responsibility of existence shoved onto me.
Panic started setting in as my invisible lungs heaved. It took a long time for me to calm down. I mean how are you supposed to ever be ready to basically be God!!!!!
But, what's done is done. So might as well get down to it. "System," I questioned, "How do I make a body?"
Without responding, the System showed a template on how I can shape my body. There were many things like height, weight, eye color, eye size, eye shape, etc.
I didn't want to be what would be considered as "human". I desired to transcend typical body shape of reincarnators.
My eyes shaped to be like miniature black holes that absorbed everything into them, even existence itself. Some sort of white light surrounded them to give form My body was more human-like as it stood on two thin feet. My entire body was composed to be like a thin deadly being of Nothingness.
I composed my body of pure black Nothingness. I had no normal facial features like hair, a nose, ears, or a mouth. I made two thin, gangly arms that ended with a five-fingered hand. But my fingers were built like big needles - thin, deadly, and precise.
My height was insane. I designed it to be 500 lightyears tall but able to shrink. And that's all for my body.
It's time to name myself.

Super Sekken (An Action Shonen Story)
This is the author’s first story ever written. It may not be great, but do check it out, and I hope you enjoy! I’m currently working on its sequel. Hope. Courage. Self-value. Friends. These all were traits that former junior high soccer champion and first year Miyuki Sekken had none of until she first walked into the doors of her local High School. Despite being a sports athlete phenomenon in her school district, Miyuki dreaded its attention, and even quit her career in pursuit of living a simplistic daily routine. This daily routine would be inevitably interrupted when she chooses to 'branch out' by talking to people. Whether it be a chance of bad luck, fate, or karma, Sekken ends up speaking to someone who was unknowingly suffering from a curse: a curse that causes anyone who tries to get close to them to disappear. Miyuki Sekken would be the next victim, finding herself face-to-face against a once-thought mythical mafia. This gang is not just any gang either, but one who is run solely by the school students of Maguro High, who hold secrets to powers unheard of by the world. How will this first year survive? Will she conquer her anxiety and thwart the gang's vicious rule? Or will she end up losing more than she could have imagined? P.S. I am not a good drawer, so I use Picrews and photo editors to get the general idea for my characters' designs. Rights to the Picrews used go to their respective authors.

Clarent Saga: Chronicles
Based on my work on Saga of the Jewels, I've been hired by an indie game developer to write the novel for their 'novel + turn-based battles' game which is in Early Access on Steam. Of course, a 'novel + turn based battles' is a terrible idea for a game, which is why no other games like this exist, but hey, the developer is paying me. And if something's worth doing at all, it's worth doing as well as possible, so I am going to give this project my very best shot and try to make it as good as it can be. So if you read this, please give me feedback on the story to help me make it as good as it can be! Please note, for this story I have been given a pre-existent set of characters, character back-story sketches and a rough plot to work with. I also have to insert random battles into the narrative, have set characters appear in a certain order, and have the party fight fixed bosses in a certain order, all at fixed points! Please also note that this is a first draft. I will be editing and re-working this in the future and re-posting it. But I need helpful feedback, if anyone can give it. You can also find the game version of this on Steam by searching there for 'Clarent Saga: Chronicles'.
