《Was it meant to be?》Ch7: Contact

*Beep* Status report... on September 29, 2040, at around 10:50 an unidentified creature was encountered a few kilometers away from the building citizen Kin is currently inhabiting.
*Beep* Kin was instructed to return to his chambers, but the creature was hostile and pursued.
*Beep* Maintenance drones were deployed to restrain the creature, a total of 7 drones were destroyed before the creature was neutralized, soon after, more hostiles showed up and disabled the remaining drones, there were no citizen casualties, but the facilites were severely damaged.
*Beep* By the time my citizen made it into the ground floor of this building, there were over 35 sightings of the creatures, as Kin was heading for the stairs, a creature paralized him from a distance, making him halt the retreat for several seconds, before the creature could charge, he snapped out of the trance and managed to reach his room before passing out.
*Beep* Since then, he has not woken up, even though his other vitals seem normal, there is anomalous brain activity.
He was put inside a stasis chamber.
Recent scans of the block show severe damage to certain facilites, presumably caused by the anomalies, which dissapeared shortly after.
*Beep* Headquarters if this signal has been recieved, please make contact as soon as possible, the citizen is unresponsive, some areas of the block are in critical condition, assistance is required.
It has been two weeks since we encountered the creatures, Kin has been unconcious this whole time.
I tried Glimmer treatment, but there weren't any changes and so far she hasn't heard a thing from headquarters or from any other place, for that matter.
We sent drones out to search for... well by now anything, but eventually contact is lost.
*Beep**Beep* Hey Kin, can you hear me?
...
*Beep**Beep* Well you see, I'm afraid you'll do something stupid if we encounter these creatures again, it took me 7 drones to pin down just one of them, word has it that an average military citizen can only deal with 4 maintenance drones at once... please promise me, even if HQ contacts us and forces you to fix the block, you won't risk your life, I don't want to lose you, if you die they will assign me to another citizen, I don't want to work with anybody else...

*Beep**Beep* NOW!
As an assistant, I have control over certain machinery that is built inside every building, as I recall, these systems were properly implemented many decades ago to be controlled by humans, but now they are mostly left to us, if they were capable of avoiding a collapse, I would have done so by now, the problem is...
*Beep**Boop* Unimportant! Now is not the time to be thinking about that Emma, focus!
*Beep* Unidentified aircraft this is Assistant Emma from the industrial block, please acknowledge.
*Bzzt* Assistant Emma, this is Assistant Rachel from the Stinger Brigade of the Offensive division, we are not here to provide backup at the moment, but Dr. Weber has instructed us to deliver a package.

Rise for the Sky [Slow-Pace Multi-Lead Dungeon Crawler]
Sixty people have awoken at the bottom of a one hundred floor dungeon. Together they must confront the terror of monsters and seek the answers to why they are here. Expectations: This story is written from multiple perspectives, male and female. Most chapters are a single person, but there will be chapters where there are a couple of quick scenes with different people. The story does take place in a dungeon, but there is no leveling system. This a realistic take on the classic litRPG and iskai tropes written like a traditional novel. There is a profanity warning because I wish to be natural with how people talk and cursing is a thing people do. So it will happen where it makes sense. Gore is warned because this is a realistic take, and people will be torn apart by monsters. I don't plan to be overly detailed with it but be warned it will happen. Updates Every Monday. Chapters will be between 3,000 to 5,000 words. Fulfill Patreon goals to increase updates

Trouble!
In a distant world ruled by Magic, Gods, Demons, Beasts and Man, war has ravaged the land and made its people suffer. The Archonian Council comprised of the leaders of the various races decided that enough was enough and the war had to stop or at the very least, continue elsewhere. In the middle of another aimless debate, Rafflesia, Chief Warlock of the Beast Race proposed this idea: “Why don't we create another world? Let's let the idiots go all out and settle this endless war there?†And because of that unprecedented notion, the Gods, Demons, Beast Race and Man worked together to create the (planet) world Arthunium, a magical world that could withstand the full brunt of the war. A thousand years after the Golden Age War, our story begins… (Warning: This novel offers depictions of: – Gore – Torture – Mature and Suggestive Themes The novel is therefore classified by most standards of morality as something no one should read. Well, maybe if you're of legal age in your territory. Reader discretion is advised.)
