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."

Maker of Fire
On a world where magic kept civilization firmly in the bronze age, the Gods dropped an accountant and a mining engineer to start a political and industrial revolution. They wanted enlightened governance and a fast track to the iron age. They got indoor plumbing, paper airplanes, a cranky queen, and one very grumpy prophet. Dramatis Personae Aylem was a bookkeeping student when she died. The Gods reincarnated her as the greatest mage ever known, born into the ruling class of gigantic, magic-wielding humans. The Gods expect her to conquer the world and introduce double-entry accounting. Though Queen and numerical reformer, world conquest is stalled because everyone is scared of her and she doesn't like war. Emily was a retired engineer when she died. The Gods reincarnated her as one of the enslaved class of small, magicless humans. The Gods expect her to drag the world out of the bronze age. Though she's already recreated matches and wrought iron, introducing technology isn't going well because she was born a slave (oops) and having escaped, wants nothing to do with so-called "civilization." Asgotl was a whale when he died. The Gods reincarnated him as a griffin and expect him to have the same role he played in his previous life: to keep a reluctant prophet from walking off the job. If only they had remembered to tell him about it. Revised update schedule will be once a week on Saturdays, noonish Mountain Time (in North America)

Leveling Up Is Better Than Reality
If you've ever been called a slacker, you know, it's not that you're lazy, it's just that you're not interested. Your values don't allow you to work hard as you wish to live in a heaven-like world where you don't have to do anything. As Gandhi said, ""Be the change you wish to see in the world...'' Wise words indeed. This story's about lazy- I mean an idealist hero named Zellin living in an RPG-like world. I'm going to deem this work as PG-13, but you never know...
