《Universe 2.0》Chapter 0 Preface
Advertisement
On July 15th, 2120, a life was born. His loud cries in the delivery room delighted the nurses and his parents.
"What shall I name him?" His mother, Sally, who was also a biology professor at Columbia University, asked his father.
This world-renowned physicist, Mighty, mainly studied the problems of space navigation. At that very moment, he was intoxicated with the joy of having acquired his own baby. Hearing this question, he blurted out, "Let's call him William. This is a combination of Chinese and Western, as well as a code of hoping for his integrity."
His mother agreed.
In the next ten years, they watched this lovely boy grow up with unspeakable joy. William was always on the ball when he was in kindergarten, because he was always the first to answer questions. This advantage lasted until early junior high -- in Grade 7 he got almost all the problems in his math book right, and he was quite quickly. Thanks to his long-term smart mind and hard work, he successfully entered Tianjin Nankai High School. Although he was no longer the champion of his class in the first school year, he still performed well.
But Mighty and Sally had their troubles, too.
Although Mighty was still sitting in his lab as usual, working on new theories, he found that this boy was quite powerful, but he occasionally disbelieved that he was really powerful.
Sometimes, Mighty and Sally would hear William saying to himself, "I can't do it..." On another occasion, his head teacher, who was also his physics teacher, gave them a feedback: "The child has learned very well. He can sometimes solve even the most difficult final problems completely, but he prefers not to believe it. So sometimes, for no reason, he throws away three or four points that are easy to get." They understood that this was normal, but they were also worried about his lack of confidence. They wanted to find a perfect solution right away.

"We need to help boost his confidence." Sally said.
William continued his studies. The final exams were coming up, after which the first year was coming to an end. At this moment, he was studying for the exam, and he dared not slack off. The reason he gave was that he would determine what courses he would take for the rest two years according to those four exams in the first year. "My preference is physics, chemistry and biology." He said to himself, "And it looks like I'm doing pretty well."
Meanwhile, his parents continued their research. There have been some recent breakthroughs. Sally came home from work and found Mighty, "Look, this is my research result." She showed Mighty a technique that would allow safe cloning and rapid growth. Meanwhile, her university, Columbia University, was working with computer companies to develop programs that can be applied to clones' personalities. Her computer already had several reliable programs that could turn the clone extroverted and introverted; optimistic and pessimistic; peaceful and furious and so on.
Mighty repeatedly clapped and cheered. He also told Sally that there was exciting news in physics: with an electromagnetic engine that warped space-time, faster-than-light travel would no longer be a dream!
"Maybe we can use these new technologies." Sally suggested. Mighty thought it was a good idea.
So one quiet night, after William fell asleep, Mighty quietly began to plot his plan...

Child of the Ancients: An Apocalypse LitRPG
It all started in the middle of Dante's nap. He wanted to sleep his life away, but the system denied his request. Instead, it began to transform the Earth, integrating it into the multiverse by granting everyone stats and skills. He was talented, or so the system thought. And that meant he needed to be challenged. After being sent into a deadly cavern, Dante strives for the future he's always desired. But when he learns about the secrets hidden within him, he's shaken to his very core. He wishes for the nightmare to end until something goes wrong. [The world will end in one year.] Instead of everyone receiving a relatively gentle tutorial, the people of Earth are deemed redundant. Dante makes it his goal to save as many people as he can before the world ends, but with billions of lives at stake, he might have to turn into a monster before he can become a hero. Planned updates (2500+ words): M/W/F. 12pm AEST/ 9am EST. M-F during Writeathon. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Author's Note: All system apocalypse novels seem to jump straight over the apocalypse itself, which I find very sad. I don't want this to turn into a typical fantasy novel in about ten chapters. Instead, I hope to explore the destruction of society and how things would look if superpowers suddenly appeared in the real world. Before the real apocalypse happens, of course. There will be base building, and likely romance once things settle down. Also dragons, because they are awesome :)
