《Voiceless Wanderer》Chapter 1

Chapter 1
Alright just mentally inhale a bit, in doing so I notice the sound on some sort of engine revs down. Hmmm must be a part of this body. So I examine my tools… or more accurately my arms… I notice a few panels in my arm thoroughly rusted shut.
I look around for something to pry it open with… I found a few rusted pieces of scrap. I wedge that scrap into a small rusted hole along the border. NOW PUSH! After a few minutes of struggling a loud creaking sound comes out. And the plate starts to bend allowing me to peer at the inner workings more clearly.
LOTS OF GEARS. Lots of them with a few wires crisscrossing each other, some hooked or to some boxes and others just go from one end to the other. What was interesting was a cylindrical tube with smaller cylinders around the part facing the wrist.
I try to detect it through the senses in my body and soon I get a pop up. Then I notice few other behind it behind it…
CONGRATULATIONS to be the first clockwork to discover how to access the multi-tool in your arm

Anyways enough fooling around with the windows… time to see where I am. I crawl out of this scrap heap only to discover a barren wasteland as far as my optics can see… let’s see, oh, don’t robots come with a scanner? Sure enough a window popped up

you gain access to your stupid scanner…
Awwww, is someone bitter about me finding out her gender???
… not even going to respond…
Ok, not like I care… (I lied need my sanity thank you)
So I use my scanners to detect any other clockworks around and sure enough a map pops up displaying robots nearby, with a button at the bottom
Integrate with vision?
Yes | no
I click yes and my vision returns to normal but there are a few glowing pieces sticking out of the rubble. Time to investigate. I crawl over to the nearest one and dismantle it completely… sadly there isn’t an identify skill when I tried… I scan the pieces and it tells me
you want the legs, they are in an ok-ish condition
Thanks window, I needed that… I grab the fuel tank, repair what I can of my body, and attach the legs. With a ding, two windows pop up.
Switching to fuel. Tank 62% full advise gathering more fuel
Sadly no quest popped up… well at least I can walk, albeit slowly and with numerous creeks in protest.
Quest completed: Attain fuel source
(Optional) repair body
-Get some legs
Nothing for you… dick
Thanks, I know I had one, before I came here, would you like to see it?
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Ok, fine… anyways time to ignore window goddess and repair a few of the other clockwork laying around… sadly only a few (5) had a mother board in their head… Oh, I never checked my skills… Meh, I’ll do that tomorrow, and my processor is tired from repairing those clockwork. I’ll turn them on tomorrow too…

Rise of the Business [Class]
'Rise of the Business [Class]' is a story about a world where humanity ended up fleeing through space, after suffering several great disasters at home. On arrival we crash-landed and were soon attacked by magic wielding civilizations who learned how to deal with our weaponry with a speed that belied their seemingly simplistic nature. We were lost. But eventually we survived by abandoning technology and adapting. But this tale takes place thousands of years later, after humanity has had time to rise and falter more than once. It tells of a time where we adapted too much, focusing only on combat and magic and learning to rely on the [System] that our ancestors built in order to compete and survive on this hostile planet with the others. This is a story about our final chance during a time when all of humanity is under siege again, where we struggled to adapt too late and ultimately had to learn how to summon a collection of people from Earth through time and space to come help - but not to the 'besieged time' but back a couple of hundred years - before it went too far down the wrong path, so they can hopefully change things enough to prevent a return to that timeline. Follow Livia as she is ripped from her favorite library and end up getting lucky, or unlucky? On her very first day on the Elderwood continent. While a trio of native lads excitedly leave home to find adventure, oblivious to how very soon they might end up entangled in the fate of the world. But the question that remains to be answered, that this first leg of the journey aims to find out; is what can a LitRPG bookworm like Livia do if called on to change humanity and prepare us all for the future, all before her 21st birthday? Find out soon, as we are finishing up book 1 in the coming two weeks. Cheers for reading this far, have a biscuit!

The Lucky Secret
Five years ago, the Tower appeared in the Arctic circle, and people started to disappear. Not that any of this affected Cillian James, who was too busy keeping the lights on with webnovels he didn't want to write to really concern himself with some omniscient tower kidnapping people at random.That is, until Cillian is kidnapped himself, and now he has some very big problems on his hands. Namely, surviving the Tower and its homicidal salamanders and zombies and weirdly affectionate cats, and learning the truth behind the existence of the amulet titled "The Writer's Secret". Cilian isn't particularly athletic, given he spent six years glued to a computer chair, and the Tower can only give him so much strength before he's considered a lost cause, and he's not prepared in the slightest for this. He's a bit weak, he hates killing, and spends more time screaming than he does actually fighting, but if there's one thing he's got going for him, it's his impressive self-perseveration skills. But is surviving truly enough, if it changes you into someone you don't recognize? How much will he have to sacrifice before he can even call himself Cillian?
