《Colonial History》The Conquest and Subsequent Colonization of Tir-Torzor
Advertisement
Before their arrival, the Anuh-Kaj wanted to expand the Eas-Enerang Apiary to include another planet that would be perfect for establishing their first off-world settlement. One with acidic oceans, massive violent storms, sweltering weather patterns, and vast tracts of barren land; just like home, but without a species of bimillennial apex predators. They scanned space for such a planet, until they detected one with rising amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which they named Tir-Torzor. Records showed that it produced some of these gases naturally, but much of the gases were being produced by a form of intelligence at a gradually increasing and unbalanced rate. The scientists estimated that the inhabitants would inevitably render themselves extinct by the ensuing effects of their self-produced changes in climate, leaving behind the planet in an ideal condition for colonization. With this on mind, the Apiary constructed and launched a teleportation outpost to the surface of Tir-Torzor.
Many years later, the teleportation outpost arrived on Tir-Torzor, but scans of the surface by A.I. drones relayed back disappointing information. The planet was not fully terraformed to the Anuh-Kaj’s liking, with data showing the rate of progress had slowed down drastically. There were still ample greenhouse gases left in the atmosphere to continue altering the climate, but it would take longer to reach the conditions they wanted. Worse for the Apiary, was data showing a possibility that the climate could someday begin reverting to a more stable and healthy unideal state.
If they hoped to speed terraforming back to an optimal rate, the Apiary had to find the intelligence responsible for the enormous greenhouse gas output and find out how to revive the process. Humans were found to be that intelligence, but they had regressed into scattered and relatively more primitive societies from over thirty-six [Tir-Torzor] years of continual global population decrease, due to various factors such as extreme weather, the lack of proper and readily available medications, starvation, and other humans. The most prominent cause were the raids by the Minare, which alone had abducted or killed off one-third of the human population on the planet within twenty-five years. To avoid garnering attention from minare or human raiders, these new societies formed behaviors to reduce their observable presence, in turn reducing their carbon footprint, resulting in little to no greenhouse gas production. It was concluded by the Apiary scientists that to put terraforming back on track, humans would have to feel adequately secure to revert to old behaviors, and to do that required getting rid of the Minare.

For the next five months on the planet, the Apiary’s A.I. drones were given two different assignments: To observe activities of the Minare, and to go to selected areas and negotiate with certain human societies to form a united force for the purpose of driving away the Minare.
Found archived at the Memory Trace Libraries of Eas-Enerang, this negotiations summary report sent to the teleportation outpost’s central A.I., before the information then being relayed back to its planet of origin:
Summary Report of Negotiations with Human Inhabitants of Tir-Torzor 1,000 of 3,500 A.I. Units dispatched to 10,000 human population areas 1 Unit per 10 area negotiations 50 human population areas 1000 178 human population areas 500 297 human population areas 100 3939 human population areas 50 2745 human population areas 10 2249 human population areas 5 542 human population areas <5 928 of 1,000 A.I. Units dispatched returned to outpost Missing units reported damage before going offline 17 units did not reach human population areas 39 units did reach human population areas 16 units did not return after visiting human population areas Out of 928 A.I. Units 865 successfully negotiated agreement for human participation against minare Estimating the arrival of 749,110 fighting units out of the original projected acquirement of 800,264 fighting units Proceed further with extreme caution Eavesdrop programing detected hostile ulterior from 73% of negotiated parties 40% of 73% hostile ulterior against the Apiary 33% of 73% hostile ulterior against other humans 27% of 73% hostile ulterior against the Apiary and other humans
Given this data, the Apiary moved forward with retrofitting the older weapons they kept stored in the armories and continued with another step in their plans.

Omnicrafter (A Crafting Adventure LitRPG)
Countless twenty-something-year-olds around the world wish every day for a chance to go back in time to start practicing their passions sooner in life. Tabitha is one such woman. With all of her youth spent playing online games where crafting was as simple as gathering materials and clicking a "craft" button to put them together, she never gained any actual experience in making things. Every attempt to create something in the real world is met with disaster. Her heart yearns for being the master crafter of her virtual youth, but she's the type who burns water when trying to cook. That changes when she wakes up and finds herself in a game-like fantasy world where crafting comes as naturally to her as breathing. She still has to put in the hard work of crafting herself, but the system helps her out to make what was once impossible for her possible. She gets all the fun of making things and flexing her creative spirit while not needing any years of training nor study to build her skill up! While she might not have any idea how she got to this strange world, she does know that she's not going to waste her chance and is going to make the most out of this new opportunity to craft everything! An "Omnicrafter" was what they called people in the MMORPGs she played who maxed out every single crafting class, and that is exactly what Tabitha plans on doing with her new life! The crafting side of this series is heavily inspired by games like the Atelier series and the critically-acclaimed Final Fantasy XIV (which has a free trial, you know!)*. If there's a problem, it can be solved by crafting. Also, in case the title and synopsis didn't make it obvious enough, this series is going to focus on crafting all the things. Wooden spears and protective cuirasses? You got it! Healing tonics and farming equipment? Sure! Elaborate cupcakes and customizable fantasy golems? Darn straight! Weapons with a broken amount of different buffs applied to them due to the crafting process and materials used? You know it! The most amazing fishing rod to ever exist? Well, obviously. Fishing is the true endgame only after crafting, after all! So, if you like alchemy, blacksmithing, carpentry, cooking, leatherworking, tailoring, engineering, rune forging, magical enchanting, or basically any other type of crafting found in RPGs, come check the story out! An omnicrafter doesn't just focus on one specific type of crafting. A true omnicrafter is the best at all types of crafting! *This is a meme, I'm not sponsored by FFXIV, please don't hate me.

Not Another Isekai RPG Story Alternate
The story ends at Alternate Route Finale. Ch 2-2 and on can be treated as Extra Chapters. I still hadn't edited that one and it's low on priority. I may come back to it if I'm in the mood. Most of the portions of the story will NOT focus on the skills, stats, grinding or battles. More about the dialogues (or the internal monologues) and the MC interacting with the world (or glitching, if you name it.). ... With parts of his memory lost, Takeshi, a 25-year old lazy office worker was transported to a game world. Using his casual knowledge on video-game mechanics, join Takeshi's journey as he discover more about the world, his companions and himself. (only if you're interested though.) My personal review: from ch-2 on expect a lot of perversion going on. It can be pretty weird, like the MC want to be a girl and Y*ri other girls, Fut*nari folks, Traps, the mention of t*ntacle monsters and some lulzy display (like shoving a morning star up someone's b*tthole in retaliation). In here, the MC will discover new things as he kept on exploring and trying different stuff. This story will mostly be character-driven. Explanations about the world and its mechanics was kept to a minimum. The MC's on the shameless side with not much real-life common sense (maybe) and he's (probably) not righteous at all. The other characters can be pretty weird as well. It won't focus on romance. Well that's about it.
