“Do it again and I’ll take your emoticons away.”
“Don't spam us with boxes either. Keep it short and sweet.”

They sit up and look around while dusting off the various trash stuck on them from the fall. They were in a corridor that reminded them of something that would fit on some sci-fi B-movie. Below them were various discarded trash and a large freshly dead minotaur that helped break their fall.
“Wasn't this a wuxia world?”
“Yeah, why the sudden genre shift to sci-fi?”
“Scientific advancement is the natural course of civilization.”
“But wuxia worlds don’t ever progress aside from individual cultivation. Scientific progress is usually driven by a reason for it to happen.”
“Isn't that just a stupid plot point? Real people always innovate to make their lives easier.
“There he goes underestimating ‘stupid’ narrative power.”
“Besides let's look around there might be some loot in this trash. The tutorial always gives something to the player right away.”
"You do realize this is real for us?"
...
Searching around the trash all they could find was a lab coat with a tag on it denoting it belonged to a #38. Shaking off the bones that were still in the robe he quickly put it on to give himself some decency. After putting on his coat a clipboard fell from the chute and hit him in the head.
“Ah, exposition has fallen from the sky.”
“Excellent deus ex machina timing system!”

The clipboard read: Experiment number 29A.
Hypothesis: A resurrection of the great Demon gods.
Methods: A constructed Humanoid using Demonic essence recovered by scientist #21 mixed with virgin blood.
Results: Failure in kinesthetic control.
Discussion: Intended uses included worship and demonic cult leader replacement.
Conclusions: Add virgin sacrifices to increase body and soul amalgamation.
Acknowledgements: May the former demonic cult leader rest in peace after he ate a mistakenly poisoned cupcake.
Note to self: Reorganize the ingredient cabinet. I seem to have misplaced the Angelic Essence recovered by scientist #15.

“Seems pretty useless.”
“No point even having it at the moment.”

“Alright, let's give constructive criticism instead of just bashing on the AI.”
“We know our name and we don't have any cultivation so why take up space?”

“Yeah but why is there a demonic cult here in the first place? Why is this our body? Where are we? Will these questions ever be answered?”

After placing a hand on the wall, a beep could be heard from the tv speakers. The wall besides us opened up to an elevator.
"Well that's boring."

Only Villains Do That
While waiting on an Akihabara train platform one day, ordinary high schooler Yoshi Shinonome was suddenly plucked from his normal life in Japan and whisked away by a beautiful goddess to Ephemera, a world of magic and adventure, to serve as her Hero and drive back the evil Dark Lord. This is not his story. Standing nearby at the moment Yoshi was isekai'd was a man named Seiji - a rude, cranky, misanthropic musician who was not at all pleased to find himself also snatched up and transported to Ephemera by the goddess's wicked sister, Virya. According to this self-proclaimed Goddess of Evil, the whole fantasy adventure thing was a game she and her sister played to stave off the boredom of immortality, and since the good goddess, Sanora, had picked her Hero...well, Virya needed a Dark Lord. A grown man with his own career and ambitions, Seiji has no interest in playing. Unfortunately for him, the call to adventure was not a request. Now, he must conquer Ephemera and defeat the Hero...or Virya promises to make him beg for the release of death before granting it. Playing along for his own survival, Seiji nonetheless is under no illusions who his true enemy is, and it's not the naive young would-be Hero from his own world. Placed in an impossible position, Seiji must make enough progress toward world domination to keep his sadistic patron goddess off his back, but not so much that he can't strike an accord with the forces of Good and convince the Hero Yoshi that it's the goddesses who are their mutual enemy. Forced to embrace Evil without being too evil, Seiji walks the razor's edge, building his forces and biding his time till he can get revenge on the goddesses and be free of them, his only certainty that he will not be getting out of this with his hands clean. A Dark Lord's gotta do what a Dark Lord's gotta do. Updates Tuesday and Friday. Most Patreon tiers get to read one chapter in advance of the public release!

The Summoned - Complete
In a world of magic, ruled by many warring races, the human kingdoms are being pushed to the brink of collapse. In a desperate bid to gain the strength to stand on an equal footing with the other nations, they perform a forbidden ritual to summon combat slaves from another dimension. Unluckily for them, Mors Letus, recently named by their world's God of Death, was one of them. **** Warning **** This is a re-release (The Summoned) of the first book I wrote in partnership with my brother (who later forced the story to be pulled (It was released on his account here)). I have started writing my own version of the story (BOM: The Summoned) and will continue to primarily invest in that, though, now I have permission to re-release this one, I plan finish this as I have the drafts and it was close to the end of the first book. Many characters/scenes and events match/Will match BOM: The Summoned, especially in future arc's (Past Flatner forest). If you don't like spoilers, don't want to get confused between the two stories or hate first attempts at writing (god awful grammar/sentence structure and storytelling), I would advise against reading.

The Eternal Vigil
The year is 2220, a time when governments and nation-states are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Instead, all prominent parts of human society are now organizing around the commands of three great Artificial Intelligences, owned and operated by the world's largest corporation. World peace has been achieved, and the very word 'politics' has disappeared from people's lips. Religion has largely disappeared, replaced in some parts by worshipping of the great AIs, but mostly substituted by a devotion to material goods and faith in the market. There is now a general consensus that the best form of government has been found. No, it is not democracy, nor is it autocracy or oligarchy. Instead, it is technocracy - rule by the learned, the intelligent, and the skilled. And who are more learned, intelligent, and skilled than the great AIs? Exactly, no one. The AIs will correct some market failures once in a while, but shall otherwise let the market be free. After all, the freer the market, the freer the people. Some may question how society advanced to this stage, but that is all they will do - question. Because they will not find answers, for history is no longer taught anywhere. After all, it is not a practical subject. One cannot get a decently paying job with a history degree. Society doesn't have any time for people to idly ponder about the past. No, this is a practical society of practical people: engineers, doctors, lawyers, developers, managers, bankers, soldiers, and the such. My name is Aiden Scivit and I used to be one such practical man: minding my own business, doing my job, with the faith that hard work will always be rewarded by the market...and that politics and philosophy were things thought of by idly people who leech off society. But this all changed, and here is my story, my history. Just because the stories of ages long past have been erased, does not mean that a brand new beginning cannot be created. The story is already finished but I still need to do some editing so a chapter should be released each day for a month. It is a bit political, as you can probably tell by the introduction, so there is that (it will low-key read like a philosophy dump 10% of the time, so really it's like Atlas Shrugged but liberal and worse lol). Also, I actually wrote this in grade 10 as part of my MYP Personal Project, and recently touched up on it for online publication. Finally, if you find the writing style passable and are interested in my other works, check out the one in the link below. It is a fantasy set in the Ancient Greek world, and is completed and uploaded in full: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/35099/the-oresteia-modernized
