Ch 5 Reverse Conception
A few hours into my conquest to defend myself, my 1st room was born. Separated into three parts one being the entrance, two doors to give the would-be invaders a hint that only two are allowed inside, the hallway of the first room Is Wide and spacious to allow many to come, this however is a trap! Underneath the flooring made out of gravel and sand surrounded by a pocket of air, is a large pool of water ready to sink on the invader's weight.
Part of this contraction activates by pushing water through a funnel creating a whirlpool. This forces the air trapped between the gravels in the water to be pushed out of a pipe going to the third contraction forcing the water pressure to follow the escaping air in fall from the sky. This forces the water to fall at high speeds due to the pressure as more water is funnel back up creating a loop. The last part is a walkway in the shape of a flat blenders blade that reaches the exit safely, even if they felt on the water nothing would happen to them as long as there are only two people in the room, for the people that don't follow my rules I made thousands of small gifts for them if they don't get cut in half first from the water pressure slamming them into the blender bridge made out of stainless steel, thousands of small chips or flat diamonds about the sizes of a thumb from the same material littered the bottom of the pool of death, to prevent them blocking the water pressure a safety net made out of stainless steel prevent the sharp ships resting on the bottom of the pool to run up the pipe falling from the sky and plugging the pressure pipe, this allows water to move unimpeded maintaining the speed of the funnel. Taking a look at my handiwork I was happy with how it turned out, I couldn't wait to see them crying and bloody roses of all those lowlife beastmen.. huh?.. no human? huh?? what's happening to me my mind was getting overwhelmed by the urge to kill the Trespassers of my territory, the System made itself known at this moment.

[Host mental defenses have been breech. Beginning restoration of host mental strength]
*what?*
A smooth and icy feeling ran through my head cooling my broiling bloodlust like a cold shower on a summer day. My mind quickly recovered from this episode as I realized I almost got devour by the Sapient's lingering wills. I hurried to check my mission completion and was shocked.
[Mission: Increased Host Synchronisation rate 1.
Description: The host Synchronisation rate is too low for the System to fully fuse. While inside the host MindScape please create a Dungeon labyrinth, the system will recover the mental strength of the host for this mission only, the more complex the host creations the more mental strength it will need, the host goal is to use at least 100% total of his current mental strength.
Mission progress: 120/100
Reward: Synchronisation rate + 1- 10%
Mission failure: The host will have an incomplete fusion, preventing the system from protecting the host mind from the (721,974) undigested will fragments the host body is currently made out of.]
120/100? How did I went over a hundred, did the system supported me while I wasn't paying attention? The System picking up on my confusion responded.
[Host current mental strength is being used fully. Due to the host's hunger for more energy, a connection to the pieces of the host body you are not in control of was established. The lingering wills started the fusion process. The System Synchronisation rate was too low to properly protect the host. The lingering wills are currently attempting to reach the host. Host please hurry to receive your mission rewards.]
Hearing this I took a look at my surroundings, the pitch-black plane now had small red dots in the distance. Focusing my eyes on them I saw many blobs with glowing red eyes walking slowly to me, some of them were blocked by a thin film of energy others however crashed thru it like glass. The few who walked the fastest looked like humans, elves, goblins, tree people, and giants with beast ears. All of these creatures were black with mist coming out of their melting bodies. Seeing that I would get overrun by this angry mob I quickly yelled to the system.

* Receive mission reward!!*
[ Host has completed the mission (Increased Host Synchronisation rate 1) Host permission receive, beginning Synchronisation adjustment.]
I started to feel like something was trying to invade my body, after a bit, my body seems to accept this intrusion as if it was always there.
[Synchronisation adjustments complete. Due to Host going beyond expectations, additional rewards have been sent. Host Total Fusion with System is now increased from 60% to 74%.]
Upon receiving the rewards, a new film spread from my entire body quickly expanding to the shadow creatures. The film of light was slightly more robust pushing the creatures away from me, however upon reaching the largest giant with wolf ears.
CRACK!!
The barrier's strength was sufficient against the other lingering wills but the giant wolf-man, pushed back by only a small amount continued walking. The beast in human form was making almost no progress slowly trying to reach me. The barrier was now sporting a wolf-man size hole as it reached the previous film's location, slowly patching itself up, the other shadow creatures now funneling thru the open space. As the hole was being filled by the shadow creatures they started to reach the giant, upon doing so they tried to walk around the extremely slow beast, only to find them selfs pushed all the way back to the beginning. The smarter creatures begin using the giant as a shield slowly filling any safe space the creature's wide and towering frame cast.
I was able to see the effect increasing Synchronisation would have, any doubts left gone, at this time the system spoke again.
[Mission completed. Dispensing next task. Pleases standby. ]
[Mission: Increased Host Synchronisation rate 2.

Knowing that this was a race against time I quickly pulled up the Labyrinth creation & management, quickly getting to work on my next project.

Far Strider
A college student finds himself transported into a strange land with burgeoning magical powers, and is taken in by Ned Stark. Will he sink or swim in this medieval society, and will he ever get home? ====================== OC-insert without knowledge of Game of Thrones, new planeswalker. Slow power ramp. Second crossover: Star Wars (around chapter 39). ======================= As a note, I started this as a speed writing challenge to myself. The challenge was successful, and I managed 100,000+ words (as well as some character sheets in excel and such) over 10.5 days. Then I had to stop and let my hands recover from their burgeoning carpal tunnel syndrome. The story currently stands at around 150,000 words (or ~550 RRL pages) over 54 chapters; expect a chapter a day until I've caught up with the backlog. The focus of this story was not quality writing, and that hasn't changed. I mostly use it as my semi-guilty "I need to write something, but am not focused enough to write something good" story. Expect self-indulgent writing in general, and a bit of OP (or, well, more than just a bit if we're being honest), especially later in the story as the protagonist matures into a more full-blown Planeswalker. But if you're looking for something with a power-ramping protagonist romping around the place, something you'd be a bit embarrassed to admit liking (I know I am) but like anyways (and come on, this is RRL, so that probably describes just about everyone here who actually has shame), then this may be a nice bit of mental junk food for you.
8 150Decay and Deception
One day you can be relaxing, the next you can be somewhere beyond reality struggling to survive. This is one such story, a story of pain, fear, and triumph. Join the main character as he conquers an alternate reality full of humanity's worst fears. Wandering through floor after floor of things from our worst nightmares, he continues downwards endlessly in search of escape. [A story heavily inspired by the backrooms, all but one of the floors are my own ideas pulling basic inspiration from various sources. A huge shoutout to my friends who helped me with a few of the floors and the motivation to write this.] Warning: this story will cover heavy themes of loneliness and horror. If you are adverse to gore, psychological horror, or general dark tones, continue at your own discretion.
8 134Legend of the Empyrean Blacksmith
LEGEND OF THE EMPYREAN BLACKSMITH After being kicked out of the orphanage due to turning 15, Lino finds himself stranded on the streets. With motivation to become the best blacksmith in the world, he seeks to become a disciple of the Bridge Village's best blacksmiths, only to be kicked out of all of them. He soon finds himself roaming the streets aimlessly on an empty stomach, jobless, peniless and homeless. After hiding himself in an alley when night fell, the reality finally catches up to him - he was truly alone. Yet, morning come, he is greeted by a knee of an old man who, after beating him for sleeping in the old man's 'backyard', takes him in. Finally being given a helping hand, he clutches tightly onto it, becoming the old man's disciple and learning the ways of the crafting, naturally while flirting with the old man's wife in his free time. Little did he know that this encounter would spark an adventure that would take him to the heights he never believed even existed, and would let him meet people he'd only read about in the books. It's a story of Lino - an orphaned child who would come to be known by many names, but only one that he'd ever truly accept: Empyrean Blacksmith.

It's currently incomplete but I do update it once in a while.
8 410Aegis: Welcome to the End of the Universe
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Bernard's life wasn't particularly great. Living on the razor's edge of poverty isn't a fun place to be. Being forced to compete for jobs that you are overqualified for, against others that are often just as overqualified, was almost humiliating. There had been plenty of times where he wished his luck was better, that he could stumble onto an opportunity that would allow him to finally succeed in life. Change and opportunity is rarely easy though, particularly if the change in question is a drastic alteration to the world as he knew it. When his chance finally arrived he learned just how true that old adage could be. Be careful what you wish for. Also, monkeys are evil.

Every click counts. Remember that. Everything you post on the internet may be deleted, but once someone sees it, there's no turning back. Take Gigi Vloski, your typical weird teenager, aka me, for example. Everything is normal, or as normal as it could ever be. There's the annoying 'ex best friend turned to mortal enemy'. There's my freakiest brother who calls pranking a type of affection. And then there's the stepmother who loves my brother so much she never listens to me. But my life takes a turn with just an unexpected click. A click that changed me and my whole world forever. • • • •"Your video got a million hits!" He yelled, making my eardrums burst. I gave him a puzzled look. He facepalmed. "You got a million hits on YouTube!" he said with a hopeful look, hoping I would know the thing I really don't know. "Not ringing any bells." I muttered and shook my head.• • • •all rights reserved 2013-2014.
