《Humanity? HELL YEAH!!》Advanced scrutiny

Specifically creativity was the field of intelligence, which made up the strength of Sigmund.
What did it mean to be creative? Well to answer that, one would have to first point out, that the question itself was not a question that a creative person would ask, but not because they already knew what it meant to be creative, but because this question was the antithesis to creativity. In creativity lies the means of coming up with unexpected solutions for problems that had not yet been solved. This was not dealt with, by asking for the solution of the problem over and over again, most problems like this could be compared to a maze with several exits. If one only went into one direction (asked a question), one was likely to step into an area that was titanic in size, but provided no exit at all, only ways to waste ones time.
That was what creativity was the opposite of. Instead of going into one direction, one would search the immediate area (ask related questions), close to the point one has been as throughly as possible. In that one spent less time chasing an illusive 'goal' and instead became more aquainted with the relevant area, despite the temptation to run along a path that seemed promising.
Should the goal lie far far away or close, to be creative is to look into every path from the problem, to climb through hidden hatches in the ceiling into a strange vertical labyrinth filled with portals, non-euclidian space and moving parts, and then not becoming lost in the fascination, but merely testing several things close to the hatch, climbing down again and then looking at where the trapdoor close to the original point might lead. That was how one came up with creative ways to deal with problems, looking for that which came close.

Sigmund was not only that of course, he had gone lost somewhere up in the hatch when he had invented his automaton race, studying an area around one of the portals which he had chosen to be his next starting point. He hadn't even spotted the trapdoor yet.
Enough about Sigmunds creativity and back to the starting point. Who could he trust?
He instead asked, what was trust? Trust was some possibility that one would not lie.
He then asked, what makes one trustworthy? Previous experiences of one having not lied.
Could he extrapolate from previous experiences (he was beginning to stray from the origin)?
This place defied previous experiences in some places, one had to be careful.
What could he trust based on previous experiences? There was still up and down, he had control over his body, vision showed him relevant things, he could still hear and things that moved made sound, the metallic ground made a metallic sound, he could understand the language, people were roughly anthropomorphic, he could open the door next to him with his hand- more searching in this direction would lead too deep.
Was there even a reason to trust? The positives never outweighted the negatives and purely from that standpoint, he had more to lose in trusting any of them than he had to win, the right move was to distrust both. Sigmund had not strayed much from the original problem, he had resisted the temptation of going haywire on the reality check or analyzing the details of what had been said to him, he had searched the surroundings and found that one of the wooden doors in an metaphorical labyrinth provided the exit. Sigmund ran away from Red and ran away from the direction he had seen Blue leave in, he did not look back.

Kill 10 Rats
You awake in the middle of an unfamiliar woods with nothing but a knife and a pair of pants. You have no idea where you are, how you got there, or even what your name is. Noob Slayer is an average college student, part time computer repair guy, and a full time gamer. He awakes to find himself in a world he does not understand. Follow him as he explores this new world, looks for answers, and tries to remember his name. Authors Note: This is a side-project I started after being widely stumped trying to write another book. It is my first attempt to actually post something I've written online, but don't be afraid to be brutal. Improving myself is why I wanted to write this in the first place. I know the VRMMO genera is a bit over-done but hopefully it has a few good stories left to tell. Warning: This is written in the first person. Will contain brutal fight-scenes, bad pop-culture references, a ton of MMO-tropes, and possibly some light sex if the MC doesn't screw it up too badly.

Art of Mortality
New Synopsis after chapter 56: Long long ago, there was a mortal who despised the gods and envied the immortals. Why do the mortals have to die when the gods wish them to? Why do worlds have to perish when the gods say so? Why do only immortals get to live forever, why not mortals like him? As his family, friends, and his loved one died, he lamented. He wailed, he cried. He cursed the immortals, blasphemed the gods, spat at the heavens. But he was just a mere mortal. His curses were pointless, his blasphemous words were useless, and his spits only returned back to fall on his face. At last, he thought, enough was enough, he would definitely do something about it. He decided that it was time for the multiverse to know what a mortal can do. He was the first mortal to cultivate. Eventually, after a long struggle, he killed the Immortals, enslaved the Gods, and shattered the heavens. He reshaped the multiverse and rewrote his fate. In the end, he reincarnated as he decided upon a grand scheme, a scheme to rule 'All and Always'. He came up with the concept of what is known today as 'Paragon'. And with this, all of reality, 'All and Always', was finally reforming, according to a Mortal's Wish. Synopsis (Old): In the vast and complex multiverse, what can a mortal accomplish? In the grand scheme of things, what can a mortal change? In truth, what is a mortal, and what is mortality? Being mortal is being ordinary, the same as being trash, or so says The World. "No, mortality is an art, and a true mortal is a grand artist. Being the root of all, a mortal can become anything.", says a young mortal boy. Meet Edward Alexander, a mortal boy walking the path against gods and immortals, fighting to the end to rewrite his destiny, and change the grand scheme of things. Can he really change the grand scheme of things? Or maybe he himself is the Grand Schemer? To know the answer, follow Edward Alexnder on his journey to demonstrate the Art of Mortality.*******
