《Nameless System V 1.00.008》Prologue
Advertisement
It was 1 pm on a weekday in 2018 and I attending a lecture at my university and doing what I usually did when I bored.
My editing software opened on one screen and another screen showed my Facebook feed that said "STRANGE EVENT HAPPENING AT BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS." I clicked the news and saw a video of a condominium with a cracked wall, there were beams of light streaming out of it at different intervals and people coming out while coughing.
Oh... this is a good CGI. As I was ignoring what the lecturer said I kept reloading my feed, at first nothing was out of the ordinary but for each time I refreshed the feeds.
-A video showing a dragon sculpture has been shared with the claim it depicts a real dragon who fell from the sky in Tibet.
-Images show a dragon with a fluffy white rabbit fur that was shot dead in Malaysia.
-Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England, a mysterious "caped crusader" who appeared to be a real-life superhero. He was wearing a monkey mask, a cape and had a large brown "O" emblazoned on his chest.
-VAN, Eastern Turkey (WTN) -- Sightings of the Lake Van monster, bad quality amateur pictures of something long and dark moving in the middle of the lake.
Dang, my feed suddenly full with this kind of news. Hm? what is this?
-What is your Status, This quiz purpose is to help you find out your status, please read the term and agreement before proceeding.
Boredom struck me. I stopped tapping my desk with the end of my pen, staring at my computer screen while scrolling the term and agreement and clicked yes. It delivered me into a new tab, a blank white screen with a question and answering box in the middle.
Question 1: What is your favorite color? -Red-

Question 2: Do you prefer to work alone or in a group? -Both are fine-
Question 3: Are you a college student? -Yes-
Question 4: Are you taking a part-time job as a bartender? -Yes-
Question 5: Is the bar name: The Voiceless Sea?
The fuck? how do they know? a hacker? I tried to close the quiz since this didn't seem right, I moved my cursor on the top right of my browser but the close button was disappeared, I pushed the ALT+F4; it still opened, I manually turned off my laptop and nothing happened except a new sentence was shown.
Please finish the quiz before you exit the program. Question 5: Is the bar name: The Voiceless Sea? ... -Yes-
Thank you, the survey is completed.

Huh? I didn't know what was going on, thought that this was a virus I closed my laptop screen. What followed was my phone chimed inside my pocket, alerting me to a received text message. Digging it out of the side pocket, I tapped the screen awake and could only stare at my phone. The same white background with black text and the same box appeared on my phone screen.

The sound of an old-fashioned telephone chimed once again, the background of my phone restored back to the picture of some random mountain, I checked my chat messages—holding my breath when I saw it was the notification from the bank.

Words left me. I stared into those my phone screen, and my heart fell silent. Before I abled to roar in excitement; the screen turned white again.
Installing the feature.

My phone started to shine. It was the kind of brightness that sears into your retinas making you close them for fear of going blind; a brightness that would make fresh snow look grey and dull. It was a brightness to rival the sun itself. I covered my eyes with my hands, but even with them I still had to squint to see.
The next thing that I remembered; I was on the outside, people coughing wildly, thought they were gonna blame this on me.
"W-what happened?" Said A
*Cough* "A burst of light suddenly appeared!" Saib B
"What light, I don't remember that kind of thing" *Cough* Said C
....Seem like I'll be fine, maybe. Leaning against the tree, I looked at my phone screen again.

And then a sudden burst of number, instruction, and image rushed into my head. What followed was a crushing pain just on one side of my head that came and went in a pattern. It made me want to pace about, I couldn't sit, couldn't lie down or relax. My eyesight blurred. Everything became fuzzy; then I saw nothing at all.
"Oi! we get a man down!"

The Star and the Darkness
“When the darkness is at it’s darkest, a star shines brightest.” Humans look up at stars in admiration for the way they shine, but when a star falls to the earth do humans still worship it? What will happen when the brightest star is thrown from the sky into a place she knows nothing of? Praised like a goddess in a temple? Hunted like a prized deer? Devoured by the beasts of the wild? Or maybe something else? A creature that should have been left asleep walks the earth in search of that which was his, restless and unyeilding.

8 89Shadow Emperor
In a world of magic where those who can wield the elements reign supreme our hero Savani finds himself reborn with a strange Assistance chip. Watch as he climbs higher and higher in a world far different than the one he knew and develop strength enough to stand at the top. ** Warning this story has a very slow boil as the MC begins to grow in power from scratch. Starts picking up around chapter 25. As story progresses themes of slavery, human experimentation, and some sexual content will be added. ** This is a story inspired by novels like Warlock of a Magus World and Age of Adept. I will be taking some ideas from each but trying to make my own story using the world ideas i love from these novels. I am also a first time writer mainly doing this while trapped inside due to the events going on in the world. So feedback is appreciated.
8 53Forgive me, I didn't mean to take that!
Murong Yingyue is the heiress to a famous cultivator clan. Except that’s she’s really not, and just a stand-in for the real heiress, who had been sickly since she was born. And she’s not really even herself. A transmigrator from Earth had transmigrated into the body of a female demoness, inheriting her memories. The transmigrator had then later died, transmigrating into her infant body! Ah, Why is it so convoluted? She grew up with those memories, and when she was finally sufficiently strong enough to travel the world safely, she eagerly embraced a leisurely life. When I was a demoness, I didn't know how to live without constantly being on guard and having to calculate every move I make. When I was on Earth, I didn't know a life without romantic drama and jealous women! I'll enjoy these two things you have missed, then! I'll do whatever I want and avoid troublesome people. So... How the f*ck did I get into this stupid cliche storyline? And as the main character, too? I don't want to be the main character! They attract so many senseless cannon fodders and powerful enemies, and furthermore, don't they attract romantic interests like it's no one's business? Someone help me! This will read better if you are familiar with wuxia novels. Discontinued. Apologies to all who liked the story. I feel that my writing style has changed since I last wrote for this story, so I tried to get myself to rewrite the story but I couldn't find any motivation to do so. I also lost the outline I had for this story and don't really remember what direction it was going in, so I want to leave the story as is. Thank you to the people who read and favorited this.
