《The Big Bang System》Magika Arcanus

[Anima pool complete. Uploading to blueprints now]
[Quest complete]
[Rank one anima gathering pool complete, +0.8 anima/h, total 2.9 anima/h] Angela reads the notifications before letting out a massive yawn. Thinking that perhaps she should get a good rest before continuing onwards Angela heads to bed. Waking up just as the ninth hour notification pops up Angela marvels at how accurate her body clock has become and drags herself out of her bed. It is at this point that her senses start to wake up and she lets out a groan; her arms and shoulders feel like they are on fire. Deciding that she wouldn't do any strenuous activities like she did yesterday Angela shuffles outside, shoulders slumped like a zombie. Realising that she still hadn't set up any furniture Angela grits her teeth and opens up the blueprint menu. The new anima pool schematic was there with an extortionate cost of 100 anima and Angela immediately dismissed building any in the near future given that it would take more than 100 hours to return enough anima to pay for itself. Angela quickly sketches out a simple chair and table, each movement of her arm made her aching muscles cry out and so she made as few unnecessary actions as possible. Now that she had a rather wonky looking set of furniture Angela sits down and opens the quest menu; wishing she didn't have to use her arm to do so. Along with the quest she means to hand in, four new quests have appeared. Angela is surprised but after thinking about it, it seemed reasonable. The quests must have been unlocked after completing the island core quest as they had similar conditions. Quests: Kill 5 rank one demon beasts: 4/5, reward: 30 anima, +0.1 anima/h
Register 5 rank one plants: 3/5, reward: herbalist's bench

Construct a rank one anima gathering pool: 1/1, reward: magika arcanus (compete)
Explore a rank one fire class demon island and retrieve its core: 0/1, reward: an introduction to basic offensive spells
Explore a rank one earth class demon island and retrieve its core: 0/1, reward: rank one "earthen body" tempering arts
Explore a rank one wind class demon island and retrieve its core: 0/1, reward: rank one "wind step" movement arts
Explore a rank one metal class demon island and retrieve its core: 0/1, reward: rank one "nine forging strikes" metalworking arts, furnace schematics Given that the island she had already explored was a water class one and was like a forest the other islands would also probably have themes. The fire class island is probably a volcano or something similar while the earth class was probably a hill or a mountain. Angela had no idea about the wind and metal class islands though as nothing came to mind immediately. Nevertheless those quests were far off and it would rely on her luck to find the islands; though she wasn't sure she wanted to at the moment, she was far too weak. Turning her attention to what she had opened the menu for in the first place Angela selects complete and the quest glow surrounds her once again. A new popup appears and a new tab is available at the top right of her vision. [Library function unlocked, magika arcanus added to the library.]
[The library is a place where the user can store and extract books at will] Angela was interested that the books still had a physical form but she was fine with it as she liked the feeling of a real book more than a digital one anyway. She selects the magika arcanus and a large book appears on the table in front of her with a thud. Opening the first page Angela begins to read. "The magika arcanus is an artificers guide to the arcane. Upon completing every construction in this book you can be considered a rank one artificer." On the next page is a table of contents. From what she can see there are at least twenty constructions with many more pages about theory and materials. Clearly this would be a long venture but it would all be worth it, the eighteenth construction is the teleporter that she was looking for. Turning to the page listed for the teleporter Angela's breath leaves her body all at once. Most of the materials required were things Angela had never even heard of; never mind the runic patterns. It would seem she would have to start from the beginning. Thankfully the one positive point was that the restrictions weren't as bad as she initially thought. Once the teleporter was activated she would have twenty four hours before she would be brought back along with anything she was making skin contact with. Angela lets out a resigned sigh before turning back to the first page after the contents page. The page was titled 'properties of magika' and was a lengthy block of words. It would most likely be boring but it was necessary and so Angela had plenty of determination.

Silvergates: Northworld (Book 1 complete)
Five years ago, the first Silvergate was found. At first, they called it a hoax. But since then, more and more people have entered the alternate dimension called Northworld, received their Interface, and going on to real adventures. As it gained momentum, they called it a problem. Now, they call it a crime. But for nearly a half a million people, it's now their real home. Yearning. Escape. Duty. The reasons to go are many. Despite the criminalization of the Silvergating, people still seek out their ticket to Northworld. But for new Gaters Jasper Hill, Erika Haglund, Henry Esteban, Northworld has surprises in store. Not every rumor are false, not every conspiracy theory is stupid. When the veil lift for them, showing truths about Northworld that no one suspected, they may have a hard time making themselves heard. And being trusted may mean the difference between life or exile forever. Northworld is a litrpg story where people enter an actual world, submit to an RPG-type Interface, and discover an alternate reality. You could describe it as a reversible Isekai since people alternate between Earth and Northworld. The characters are usually casual about it, which means casual talk and the not-infrequent profanity. Four letter words dropped in conversation (or internal monologue). Warning: one potentially horrible theme and one implied sex scene. Book 1 is complete, as the title says. Book 2 is expected to start in 2022 (hopefully).

Release
Many years ago, magic, magical races, and creatures left the world humans called Earth, and restricting access to the planet from all who would wish to enter. These magical races and creatures faded into myth and legend becoming tales humans would tell each other for entertainment.

Humans must once again learn how to craft and survive facing constant attacks without their previous technological weapons and advances.

One hope humanity has for survival, is the one who brought magic back upon the land. The mage who can claim territories as a Contender, Lord Shea. UPDATE 17 Jan 21: I am working on writing more of the book and intend to post more as often as I can. I will try and post new chapters weekly. I am writing in my spare time with a full time job, and four kids. Fortunately, I have a wonderful wife who helps me a lot or I would never get anything written.

Fighting to be Kind in a Cultivation World
Aren't you tired of the typical cultivation story, where an isekai'd person comes into the world and becomes a brutal or selfish person? I know I am. So instead of being fully changed by the world, I want this protagonist to stick to their beliefs and help to change the world (and people) for the better. There will still be main character development and tests of those beliefs, but I want them to maintain that aspect. Brief Synopsis:American is thrown into a typical Xuanhuan cultivation world where the masses of the people are typically sacrificed for the abilities of the few. This is meant to be an alternate take on how protagonists approach these worlds. Main character comes into the world w/ scanning, healing, and monster taming abilities. The release schedule will begin on Dec 1st. The schedule is 2 chapters/week (Tue & Fri) at 11pm. Please like, comment, and follow, as that helps me to gauge interest in the series. Final note: I notice that many cultivation novels treat abuse or sexual assault as a throwaway tool to set a stage. I think the way it is normally done is both lazy and a disrespectful to victims. If you have any suggestions on how I can improve the way I've done it in this series, please let me know. I want to do this the right way. P.S. *Nudge, nudge* If you are looking for a sneak peek of up to 16 chapters ahead, check out my Patreon. :D

It'll be easy to date him, they said."I think it would be best if we stayed friends, it would be much safer that way."
