《The Earth, Forgotten》II
Advertisement
It has been proven throughout history that the left behind fragments of a society can stand the test of time; usually, they hold some resemblance to what they once were, and because of that, one is able to learn about the way that that society lived.
Eris—one of the acclaimed “dwarf planets” of Sol—is a great distance from the Sun. In its prime, much like most of the planets and moons that are spread throughout the solar system, Eris housed a multitude of peoples, and it too had its own society that peaked before the collapse of mankind in Sol. Much like the moon of Jupiter known as Io, Eris was a high point in Sol’s human history, and because of this, a massive metropolis was housed on the dwarf planet. After a long time though, the society on Eris collapsed, and—much like the society on Earth—it was forgotten and left to be washed away in the sands of time.
The skeleton of the cities that once used to stand upon Eris’ terrain still stands there at this very moment. But, even though they continue to tower over the once barren landscape, no one is there to behold their glory and their magnificence. The cities on Eris were a testament to the strength and power of man, much like all of the other megalopolis that are spread about the system: Venus, Mars, Earth, Mercury and its child Mercury-Epsis, Luna, Io, Makemake, and all of the other highly populated celestial objects.

Observations of the Nameless
Sometimes the world will just whirl by without a care for its inhabitants. Each passing day bring a new experience unlike the one before it. Why do we do anything... That's a really good question, isn't it? Author's Note: Each chapter is about 300 words, so that's the reason for the short story tag even though this will be a (somewhat) ongoing series. Expect an update twice a week on Tue/Wed and on Fri/Sat. No set time, but likely afternoon or evening.

Puppet Lord
In the year 2142, humanity’s technology has developed to the point of cybernetic and neural implants. People all have neural receptors attached to the brains, allowing for unfettered, 24 hour a day, global access to the neural net. A string of attempted break ins to a secure facility has authorities scratching their heads. Every few days, a new person is caught trying to force their way through checkpoints, reinforced doors, and cyber security. None of the perpetrators have any criminal history, and all are seemingly unconnected. Their methods are random, and worst of all, none of them have the foggiest idea why they there in the first place. Detective Jon Peld finally finds the common thread linking all the perps together, a vr mmo known as Istrius. Mind jacking is an outdated crime, one thought to have been completely eliminated centuries ago as the neural implant tech was perfected, but all the pieces fit. He can't convince his boss though, so there's only one thing left to do: investigate from the inside.

Crafter's Passion (AKA Gleaners' Guild)
2038, California. Stan is doing his mandatory "volunteer" service years on a collective farm when he encounters Thousand Tales, a game that offers immortality to the super-rich. He can't afford to have his brain uploaded like those elite customers, but maybe he can turn a profit out of the game instead of just playing it. Not as a legendary swordsman or a brilliant wizard, but as a dealer in the junk no one else seems to want. If he plays his cards right, he can draw the attention of both the farm's supervisor and the game's ruling, meddling AI. Should he, though? LitRPG. Part of the world of "Thousand Tales", a novel series on Amazon, though no knowledge of it is expected. This story is around 12K words long. I'd appreciate feedback to help write a much longer version! Updates every few days. Cover art from game-icons.net, by Lorc, CC-BY. Update! This story was originally called "Gleaners' Guild". It came out on Amazon under the name "Crafter's Passion" and has many reviews there, thanks in part to the support of RR readers like you. Thanks! It even has a sequel, "Crafter's Heart".
