《Sovereign》Falling asleep
Advertisement
Although the hotel room did not appeal to Akame, Gromov appreciated the large comfortable bed with a soft cushion and a duvet cover, smelling by washing agent and freshness. Since his childhood, the sensation of digging in newly changed linen helped him relax and fall asleep easily.
Today was rather exceptional in this regard. For more than an hour, Gromov was pondering what had happened so far with an unpleasant conclusion: he did not like it. Although Andrey Jerzinski might have suggested otherwise, in fact, Gromov had never been too keen on Space Forces.
"For God's sake, I was just doing my job," he thought. "All the bossing around and bellowing, I didn’t enjoy them, but for good results, I needed to manage people so they could understand. Despicable greenheads! Always so stubborn for a more effective system of control; they promote idiots just to get rid of them, kicking them up and up. Just see Steiner. As a captain, should I have considered myself halfway to reach the ultimate stupidity?"
The security measurements, enforced by inexperienced cadets; the sky left almost unprotected, with just minimal personnel. Well, if this is true... The Plantarians were not the enemy that relies on collecting information. Nobody even knew whether or not they understood human civilization. After all, they were supposed of plant origin, with different evolution, which more than anything resembled unstoppable biological warfare.
Plantarians did not explore the Universe; they just have been colonizing adjacent planets, one by one. Their bombs have been spreading the “seeds”, devoid of any intelligence or will. The war with them did not involve negotiation, as they had nobody able to communicate, at least in a form comprehensible to human beings.
They were an invasive species, comprising viruses, bacteria, vegetative life forms such as plants, fungi, or even simpler organisms. Unfortunately, the “seeds” not only grew, but they used other species to create symbiotic high-level organisms. Originally, the term Plantarians was not referring to the aliens, quite the contrary, they were infested people who survived contamination and evolved into hybrid beings.

At the beginning of his career, Gromov and the others had to shoot down meteor bombs, full of seeds. Not the most difficult task under the Sun. But a few years ago, the circumstances have changed. The aliens infected one of a military base in asteroid rings. Consequently, the manner of space battles evolved into a more endangering experience, resulting in more deaths among pilots.
For some unknown reason, the alignment of soldiers changed as soon as they completed the transformation. No matter what their personal beliefs might have been before, after having become one of the Plantarians, former pilots adopted the procreational philosophy of the opposite side. The subjugated ones were flying the spaceplanes, killing human counterparts without mercy.
Q-Field attacks became the reality.

Second Chance
This story starts somewhere in the future. Twenty years before the story begins, a genius scientist created hundreds of machines called the SC-Capsules before he went missing.

Two decades afterward, a dying man tries to escape from death’s grip by doing something that nobody but a desperate man would do. He uses one of the machines… and is transported to another world. He is given another chance, a second chance to live as he wishes… a chance to be a hero… or a villain… or both… or neither… Warning: 18+ due to violence, language, and sexual content on later chapters

To Know the Name We Lost (LitRPG/Fantasy)
Immortality. Forging Abhorrent Weapons. Celestial Alchemy. The power to effortlessly destroy entire worlds. For a group of mortals, who died, being offered all of these at the low - basically free - price of their Name is like a dream come true. Until they figure out that they were right... if the dream was a nightmare. If they die they respawn, but do they really have to die every day? That is unreasonable! But when it turns out that their name was related to their entire mortal existence and their memories are fading, they begin to wonder if the only true death they will ever experience is ceasing to exist as the humans they once were. Unable to die and unable to remember what made them human, is this what remains of their afterlife? Ae, the protagonist, is not ready to give up just yet; if he could just become more powerful then surely he would find the solution! However, that is where the End of All Things patiently waits for someone foolish enough to reach out to it.

The Bronze Players of Recreation
The world of Creation has seen a recent explosion of what can only be called an adventurer’s culture over the past few decades. People who were once looked at as nothing more than lower class mercenaries rose to the ranks of heroes and legends as adventuring became recognized as an idealized lifestyle of overcoming hardship and finding triumph. With the establishment of a guild-based government system on the continent of Terramania, adventurers were soon legitimized and adventuring became a phenomenon universally accepted around the world. Redlette had retreated from this world to live on Earth for the remainder of her years, having been born and outcast by the gods of Creation. However, upon meeting a friend that she treasured dearly, she found herself longing for a return to her world—she wanted to experience it properly and go on adventures with someone whom she holds dear. Putting a plan into action, she meets with her friend, an awkward, nerdy boy by the username of Herring who she’d only known through years of playing online games with him, and invites him to go on this fantastic adventure with her. An adventure in another world had always been an impossible dream for Herring, but when he suddenly found himself with the opportunity to embark on one, he knew it wouldn’t be as simple as books and shows made it out to be. Redlette was notorious for rushing into things without thinking them through, and he was flighty and weak. In the games they played together, they rarely grasped victory. They were losers through and through, both in hobby and life. Despite this, though, he takes the leap and sets off with Redlette into the world of Creation. Together they only had one goal: to have fun and go on the adventure of their lives. This time, they’d establish a guild of their own and be free to take on whatever exploits their hearts desired. This is the story of the founding of their guild. Author’s Notes: -My writing style is largely based off of the absurd amount of light novels I’ve read and anime I’ve watched, so it may come off as cartoonish or exaggerative at times. If that isn’t your thing, I’d steer clear of this story.-Not an MMO story.-No numerical stats.-Relatively slow pacing.-Posts are between 2000-5000 words weekly after Chapter 1.
