"Dear its going to get cold." Brighid said looking at her son. Ernesh snap back from his deep thought at what the system told him. He finally felt the hunger and gulp down the sweet and spicy meat spoup of the magical beast Boar King, twice in front of him.
After finishing he decided to rest telling his mother that he was still a little beat unwell. 'Finally alone.' Ernesh said as he lay down his bed.
'So my soul is sent here to do what again?' Ernesh ask the system.
[Mission: ELEMINATE THE ANOMALIES.]
[WILL YOU ACCEPT?]
[DECLINING WILL BE IMMEDIATE TERMINATION AND SENT BACK TO EARTH WITH NO CHANCE OF HUMAN REINCARNATION.]
[ACCEPTING WILL BE REWARDED OF IMMEDIATE HUMAN REINCARNATION BACK TO EARTH UPON DEATH.]
[NO MORE FURTHER INFORMATION ALLOWED UNTIL MISSION ACCEPTANCE.]
[FURTHER DELAY OF ANSWER WILL RESULT OF TERMINATION.]
[TIME LEFT: 5:59]
'FUCK! What the hell? What is this? Immediate termination? Human reincarnation? I have so many question to ask and now your rushing me to make a desition?'
'After seeing those choices, what do you think I will do? Decline?' Ernesh thought in anger.
[PLEASE CONFIRM: ARE YOU SURE TO DECLINE?]
'FUCK NO! You shit son of whatever you are! ACCEPT! I WILL ACCEPT! NOW I NEED FURTHER EXPLENATION! YES! I ACCEPT!'
Ernesh tried his best not to yell again. He is now feeling the anger and confusion towards the robotic voice inside his head.
[DEPLOYING ANTI-SYSTEM.]
[PLEASE WAIT.]
...
It only took a minute when the robotic voice came again. However, this time the voice change to a male voice. It has a serious voice with a mix of robotic sound.
[SYSTEM ZERO HAS BEEN DEPLOYED.]
[HI. I AM SYSTEM ZERO YOUR PARTNER.]
'System? Ok let's take it slow. So what is this? a system? Are you those cheating fantasy tools that I read around on novels?' Ernesh relaxes a bit and tried to asks question as few as possible, step by step to avoid another confusion.
[SYSTEM ARE DEPLOYED TO ASSIST THE USER. SOME CALL US GUARDIAN ANGELS SINCE WE ARE ANGELS.]
[THE GUIDE YOU ACQUIRE DEPENDS ON THE SYSTEM TYPE. THE PLANET 60491 OR GNOBUL IS A MID-TIER PLANET THAT ONLY ALLOWED SYSTEM EQUIPPED WITH INFORMATION. NO FURTHER ASSIST FUNCTION IS NEEDED ACCORDING TO SYSTEM LAW ON MID-TIER PLANETS.]
'Aright I kinda get it. So you help me by giving information?'
[AFIRMATIVE. I GIVE YOU USEFUL INFORMATION AS WE PROCEED TO OUR MISSION.]
'Okay. Please explain the mission PROPERLY.'
[SENSING CONFUSION. CONTACTING THE PLANET KNOBUL GOD OF DIMENSION PLEASE WAIT.]
'Wait. . . whah-?' Ernesh was dumbfounded at the system right now. 'We are just getting started can't you slow down a bit?' However, he wasn't given a time to breath as he felt his room began to distort and warp. All of the sudden he found himself located on a place where the floors are made up of white clouds and the ceiling became a night sky filled with beautiful stars.
"WHAT. THE. FUCK. IS. HAPPENING? CAN. SOMEONE. PROPERLY. EXPLAIN. THIS. SHIT!" Ernesh yelled from the top of his lungs.

"Hoho. I'm sorry for the confusion agent." A giant figure appeared on the empty space. The giant was dressed in a block robe covering its face and body. The only thing that can be seen is his massive hands that is made of ivory.
[This is the "GOD" of dimension one of the six "GODS". They are the client that seek help to Lord L.]
[Please take note the word GOD is what they are called by the natives of the planet. In reality they are angels ranked higher than the rank of the system. They watch, protect and nurture the planet. Please listen to him as he explains all the necessary information.]
"Just like System Zero said. We are what you call just an administrator in charge of the planet. And I am in charge of the dimension of this planet Gnobul. you can call me Dimension Administrator if you want." The giant said as its voice echo through the place.
"You can hear him?" Ernesh ask in surprise.
"Haha of course. We aren't affected by its hiding function, systems are after all angels." The giant said as it projected a massive chair and a smaller one where the two can sit.
"Now to explain the situation. You see the planet is invaded by foreign souls and illegal systems. It happens due to my uhh.. inexperience and an accident by the other administrator of soul in earth lord Michael." Ernesh looked the giant whose body reach the sky above, as it started to explain.
"Ehem. The illegal sysyem broke the law of mid-tier planet which is providing their users other than information assiatance. For example items created out of nowhere. Abilities to grow in strength like experience, changing the law of physical body like having stats which makes their body retain all their strength even with just goofing around with no exercise or things like level up that heals their body automatically whatever their wounds are."
"So basically a cheat system! Why are they considered illegal?" Ernesh cut short the giant angel with a voice as if speaking to an equal. Even with its rank as GOD. This giant talked with respect to Ernesh since the start.
"Mid-tier planets have laws regarding the system. The life force or the Planets energy core are being used by these system everytime they magically produce an item out of thin air. If it is a large tier Planet, it would be allowed but the planet is only mid-tier and the energy being used consumes a lot. These systems abuse the planet's core until it cannot provide to mantain as a planet or what you call destruction. That is why we enlist the help of Lord L."
"If the planet is at stake, why don't you do it yourselves? Aren't you GODS of these planet and their are six of you." Ernesh thought as he ask the question.
[THE EARTH HAS ONE GOD AND IT IS THE GOD OF CREATION THE VERY FIRST BEING. EARTH IS A SPECIAL TIER WHERE IT IS MANAGED BY THE FIRST GENERATIONS OF ANGELS. NOTE THAT DEMONS OR DEVILS ARE ANGELS TOO.]

The system explained this time.
[EVERY END OF THE CYCLE OF CREATION, THE GOD OF CREATION GOES TO SLEEP. HOWEVER HE ALSO CREATED LAWS TO HIS CREATIONS.]
[EVERY ANGEL CANNOT ENTER THE PLANET PHYSICALLY AND CAN ONLY INFLUENCE THE PLANET. WE HAVE SYSTEMS AS AN EXAMPLE. BEING THE "GOD" OF THE PLANET OR WE CALL ADMINISTRATORS CAN INFLUENCE THE PLANET BY THE MEANS OF FATE, DISASTERS OR WHATEVER THEY HAVE GAIN ACCESS TO THE PLANET. BUT HAVING MORE THAN ONE GOD IN A PLANET ALSO MEANS WAR. EVERY GOD CANNOT USE THEIR INFLUENCE BLINDLY. REASON IS IF THE GOD TURNED WEAK THE OTHER GOD MAY SNATCH THE POWER THE GOD ACQUIRED IN THE PLANET. FOR EXAMPLE HE IS GOD OF DIMENSION THAT ACQUIRED THE PLANET'S DIMENSION. ALSO NOTE THAT THE GODS NEED TO GUARD THE OTHERS IF THEY GOT TOO CLOSE TO THE CORE. BEING AN ADMINISTRATOR HAS ITS OWN REWARD THAT HELPS THEM GROW IN POWER. YOU SEE THIS PLANET IS JUST A MEANS FOR AN ANGEL TO GATHER STRENTGH. IF THE ANOMALIES ARE PROVED TO BE UNCONTROLLABLE, THEY CAN JUST DECIDE TO FUCK IT AND GO TO WAR WITH EACH OTHER AND CONSUME AS MUCH ENERGY THEY CAN FROM THE PLANETS CORE THUS DESTROYING THE PLANET.]
After Zero finished his explanation The giant gave a nod.
"Just as System Zero said agent. Although we can just destrot this planet, looking for another vacant one will took us another millenium before new planets arise. That is where Lord L comes in. He sent you as a middle man for our problems. Also, because Lord Michael messed up. Not only souls from earth invaded, even illegal system made an opprtunity out of it. That is why you are here. To hunt them down."

Meanwhile on the outside the Gram Clan Village. A cabbin house in the middle of the forest was carefully hidden. Inside there are people wearing red leather armors. Some of them are dressed up like a merchant wearing colorful robes and fancy hats. However their face and muscles betrayed what they are trying to be hidden on those fancy robes. Swords and daggers lay around the beds that are made up of dried leaves and animal pelts on the floor. There is only one table and one chair where a tall buff bald man was seated looking at the map on the table. The silence in the room was soon broken when another man dressed up like a merchant slammed the door open. All of the people inside prepared their weapons while looking at their companion who suddenly came in a rash.
"Captain! The Gram Clan are making another surveilance!", the shakened merchant said as he faced the man seated on the chair.
"What? I thought they are done by these month?", the captain's eyes widen in surprise. "Yes, that's what they have been doing every end of the month but somehow today they began expanding their searched and they seemed to be very angry. 6 outpost of different party spies have already been burned to the ground! They don't even follow the country laws of inspection!"
"What? Then why are you the only one that returned? Go tell the others. We are leaving. Hurry!" The captain said as he took the map and his notes and carried his weapons. "Someone must have messed up the clan and incurred their wrath. Shit! Their actions is ruining others!" The other spies followed suit and prepared for retreat.
"I'm afraid they are dead captain. They were discovered and put down immediately. Luckily I manage to escape." The spy that reported explained as he took a weapon passed by the other soldier. Hearing his explanation the captain stared with wide eyes at his soldier and began to sweat. "You FOOL! You didn't ESCAPE! THEY FOLLOWED YOU HERE!" The captain roared in anger.
Outside the wooden cabin 30 soldiers of the Gram clan Including Zane awaits. Wearing chainmails and leather armors painted in black and dark green designed for ambush and pursuit, 10 of the soldier prepared their bows. "Listen. The people inside are proven to be spies of the Blood Moon Empire. Bowmen Release all your powerfull skills at once. We will take care of the rest." Zane said as the other draw their blades. The 10 bowmen nodded and began to release their skills aiming at the cabin.
[Fire Searing arrow.] 3 of them activated the skill that made their arrows flamable and increased in piercing.
[Rain of Arrows.] 5 aimed at the sky as they ignited their arrows with fire. The skill made their single arrow into dozen by their energy and also with an increase of piercing.
[Piercing shot.] The other two began firing their arrows in haste as the skill increases the piercing of their arrows.
BOOM!
Flames errupted and cries of people was heard inside. The arrows went through the cabin like a smooth cheese. The Bowmen didn't even need to aim well and just targeted the cabin. Some was able to escape rushing out the cabbin but were met with blades before their death.
"Next!" Zane shouted after confirming the kills and inspection. All of them disappeared in a second.
Finishing all the the investigation near the forest area, the group proceeded to the rendezvous point . The last area to go will be the grassy area where merchants and travelers make a stop for rest.
"The next area is the traveler's resting area." Zane said looking at the clansmen that gathered. Most of them are only slighlty wounded after they destroyed a total of 7 suspicious areas. All of those people that were razed are confirmed spies from different organization.
"Listen men!" He shouted. The clansmen looked at the direction of their vice-chief attentively. "The same as before if they can't identify themselves, kill them! If they resist, kill them! If they try to lie, kill them! And if they try to escape, kill them" A voice filled with determination and anger sounded to the 100 clansmen of Gram. "Raaaghh!" They answered with a battle cry as their spirit keep increasing.
"Let's Hunt!"
With the last cry, the clansmen disappeared on the spot and moved to the next targeted area.

Retiring as an Incompetent Queen
What happens when you transmigrate into a transmigration story? Another story unfolds. Once upon a time, there was a Queen. A Queen of a land that contained magic beneath the earth, a land where fantastical creatures used to live and roam. A Queen of a land established by four Heroes, may they rest in peace. A Queen who came from another world, far, far beyond the horizon. The Queen who was not Good, nor Evil, for she thought dwindling on the lines that separated them foolish. Good did not exist, nor did Evil. There were only lines for each individual person, lines that they would not cross. But the Queen did what she had to do, and she didn't look down on others who did the same. She hadn't wanted to become a Queen, at first. After being plunged into a world she knew nothing yet everything about, she ran away and tried to escape from her fate. Running, running. Always running, never stopping. Some like to think fate is inescapable, that it decides our life and the choices we make. They are half right. Fate you cannot run away from. But the path you take is up to you to forge. The Queen ran away from Fate's clutches, until she ran into two others of her world. A Hero who had stolen his Title, and a Creator who wielded his Brush like a sword. They laughed together, they cried together, and they conquered together. The Queen had never accepted her Fate, nor did she ever believed in it. In the end, she hadn't changed. But even in the end, after she returned home, she never forgot. What it had taken to be a Queen. This is the story of Novarra Kiye Ultra. ----

8 101Second Wind, legend of Pandemonium (Finished/Incomplete)
The developers of the worlds leading VRMMORPG Edge Online have decided to shut down its servers after over a decade. Shugireth Darkstar, the leader of Pandemonium, Edge Online's top guild, suffers from a deadly disease and his end is near. He hasn't left his VR pod for 5 years, as the medical nanodroids at the hospital takes care of him. Without Edge, he will die, because his physical body has already been all but destroyed by the sickness. Seeing no light at the end of the tunnel, Shugireth Darkstar, the Master of Pandemonium, stubbornly stays behind as the servers shut down... If that was all, we could end this story right here. However, that was only the beginning of the legend of pandemonium. The prelude to the movement, if you will. Shall we see what happens next? -------------- Some notes from Me (The author, gasp surprise): I first wrote this (100k) as an experiment. I saw the advice about having foils for overpowered MCs, and I watched quite a few lectures on writing. I wanted to test things out for myself and see if I could carry a story through other ways than only relying on physical conflict like some thrillers do. Thus this might lean a bit towards slice of life with a romance subplot, but I don't want to give my story away so read it if u want to know more. This was basically never intended for anyone else's eyes but my own, and written to explore writing as a process. This wasn't my attempt at writing a good book, but it turned into something that I think might interest some people, so I decided to pop it up here. It is slightly old so my style and writing skills have advanced considerably since I first started this thing. Having said that, I think it's pretty readable, but I am very interested in how other people will receive this. Please feel free to criticize it and just in general shoot me some feedback on what you think. It contains light Litrpg elements, not heavy table spam, it's just the basis of the world. Although I like that sort of thing, this was written before I even knew of Royalroad and hadn't considered litrpg much. Some of you may recognize that it was slightly inspired by Overlord. Also, the Tags for sexual content and traumatizing content are there as a precaution on all of my stories pretty much, even if my story does not contain any of that at the moment. I can't really know what the future will bring, but in the case of this story I do know a little bit, since I wrote 100k words before posting it here. And I just posted it on a whim because I figured some readers on Royalroad might enjoy this story.
