Planet E
"Ladies and gentlemen of the Council. I'll be reading a truncated interpretation of what many believe to be the beginning of our galaxy. As with all legends, there's a lesson of truth in it ..."

As enemies kept coming, Captain Jaraik of the Eneidian Empire (a Type 2.5 civilization on the verge of Type 3, harnessing the power of black holes) ordered his crew to fire up—‘The Device’—a singularity weapon.
"Captain Jaraik!" Empress Zenak radioed, "stand down!"
"Your Majesty, with all due respect, the Ikillian invaders, the artificial intelligence which we created, will slaughter our people because we threaten their existence. I must stop them."
"You're willing to destroy us all, Captain? We might free ourselves one day. You're sacrificing generations to come ..."
"No, Empress. Generations of life will most certainly come ..."
"Captain, I order you to stop!"
Jaraik closed the communication. "Engineering, fire up 'The Device.'"
A black hole supermassively spun for billions of years, forming into our galaxy ...

Xenologist Itog set down her reading tablet and turned on a holographic projection.
"My dear Council, I believe the problem is what I've theorized as 'transcendent intelligence'—a byproduct of a Type 2 civilization."
"We suspect that ages ago through galactic probe research ..."
"The dominant Jellyfish-like species of this planet, 'X', biologically evolved to transcendent intelligence. They launched bioweapons of mass destruction, obliterating themselves."
"In a nearby star system, on a planet that we call 'Z,' giant winged insects transcended intelligence by building sentient self-replicating machines devouring nearly every planet in their solar system."
"So far, we've averted our own catastrophe through our cultural wisdom, religion, and natural inhibitions, but there's a looming threat ..."
"Only a few light-years from us on the galactic map, in this one solar system, on 'Planet E,' resides another humanoid species—like ourselves, but not Type 2, yet bound for interstellar travel. We're concerned that they'll follow the same patterns as the others, and, worst of all, the Eneidians. Therefore, I propose that we send forth our probes to halt their expansion, to prevent their transcendent intelligence from eradicating themselves, and, most importantly, us."

Dungeon Core? Nah, I Think I'll Just Get Super-Wealthy Instead
The cycle is simple enough. A Dungeon Core is born from a wayward soul. It seeks power and agency, and works to accumulate wealth to fuel its power, in turn using this power to accumulate further wealth. Inevitably, the mind is lost as desperation and ambition drive it to commit darker and darker acts. Shortly thereafter, the adventurers arrive to quell the core. This is a tale that has repeated itself countless times throughout history: all cores desire power. And yet, this core seems to have it backwards. It doesn't want to rule the world. It has no desire to enslave or conquer. No, this core doesn't want to be a warlord, a villain, or a tyrant. It wants to start a core-poration. After all, when money is power, what greater weapon is there than capitalism? Join a dungeon core that wastes an absurd amount of time and effort trying not to be evil on his journey to earn fat stacks against all odds. -This is a 'Dungeon Core' type fiction with LitRPG elements in it. The start may be fairly slow compared to the average. Expect roughly 2.5k per chapter. -I'm only a hobbyist writer. As such, there may be the occasional error and pacing may be poorly-handled. Constructive criticism is alway welcome. I'm just here to write stuff that makes my brain release the g o o d c h e m i c a l s. -I am trashy and I like monsterpeople so you can expect an awful lot of those as we get further in. Thank you for reading this far, and I hope you enjoy.

Every Part of the Gods
And now my laptop is acting up... Seriously T_T no chapter until the issues are resolved. ----------------- “The revolt of humanity”, a recent event that will be forever etched in history books, when humanity rose against the Gods and enslaved them. Shattering their bodies and scattering them towards the masses, humanity used them to obtain power and fulfill their heart’s desires. With memories of the Revolt still burning within his mind, Fleck goes around the world working as a member of the Church of the Fallen Gods. They have one mission only: To put back together every shattered God and return them to the Empyrean, homeland of the Gods. Known as a lone wolf by other members of the Church, Fleck willingly takes on the most dangerous missions, always reaching a little bit for the right that Goddess Ereshkigal, leader of the Church, has taken away from him: Death… For that darkness’ cold lull to ease his burden and keep away the burning flames in his mind… When a mission that looks simple enough comes to Fleck, a mission that will take him on another journey, he takes it on without much thinking. With the sky suddenly turns crimson, a sky under which he will have to move in his travel in the company of Hashi, a woman of the rarest beauty, a mysterious past and a prosthetic arm, Fleck will come to face situations that are increasingly far out of his control, bringing life and death, past and future together, being thrown entirely into the flames… A journey where he may lose the flames of his mind, losing his humanity in the progress… and given a death worse than street dogs. --------- Release Schedule: Monday to Friday, 5 days a week, 1pm.
