《Tales of Light》The Joy of Creation
Advertisement
It was dark. I couldn't see. Where am I? I couldn't see. It's cold. It's very cold. I can't move. I can move. Where am I? It's dark. I'm scared. Very scared. I can feel myself. Where am I? Who am I. Where am I? "W-w-w-where am-m-m I!?!?!?" I stop. What I heard was not my voice. "T-t-that'z no-o-ot my voizz. W-what i-i-izz t-t-thizz? Why do I zound l-l-like t-t-t-t-tha-at!"
"Oh, but it is. It's good to see you again..." Said a voice.
"W-w-who ar-r-r yuuuuzzz."
"Let's fix your voice." A man stepped out of the shadows into the light. He was wearing a white lab coat, with the words ARCF. He walked over to the confused man and disappeared. A few minutes later he reappeared. "Try talking again... Jerry."
"Is that my name?" Asked Jerry.
"It's your name now. Jerry Bear." Said the man with a smile.
"Where am I?"
"Your new home. Why don't you take a look... Oh wait, you can't." The man said as he pointed down towards Jerry's feet. He tried to look down, but was unable. "Oh... are you unable to? Let's get you in front of a mirror." The man then went behind Jerry and pushed him with what seemed like a wheelchair. "Keep your eyes closed."
They got to a mirror. "Ok. Open your eyes." Said the man. Jerry opened his eyes to see a monster. Jerry had no feet or anything below his knees, just wires. He had no right arm from the elbow down. His left arm was partly covered by silver armor. His hands blue and missing two fingers. His chest has some armor as well, and it had an exposed blue orb. His face is missing a mouth, nose, ears, and hair. It had an exposed part of his head. "What am I!!!??"

"You're not human."
"I am human!! You turned me into a monster!!! I remember a life before this." Shouted Jerry.
"Then it worked. You think you are human. You may have the memories of one but you are not one. You are a shell of what a human was."
"No!!!! NOOOOOO!!!!!" Shouted Jerry, shaking furiously and violently.
"Nap time!" The man said with a joyful tone, then hit the side of Jerry's neck. Jerry's eyes stopped glowing and stopped moving. Jerry was lifeless. "It works. Perfect." The man pushed Jerry back into his workplace, placing him in the J-series spy.

Fate of Souls
Nineteen-year-old Carter Elm awakens one morning with the arrival of the System, which shuts down modern technology and brings with it magic and beasts. With a desire to use magic, Carter begins learning it, soon setting off to enter the nearby Dungeon to complete a Quest. There, Carter meets Lucas, a wounded young man with an interest in alchemy. Together, they train to conquer the Dungeon they're trapped inside, developing a deep bond of friendship and more. When they finally manage to leave the Dungeon, the world is a changed place. Most of the population has died and survivors have banded together to form new settlements and societies. Carter and Lucas settle in to the new ways of the world, becoming adventurers like many others to protect their home and hunt what's needed. Occasionally, they even find time to go on an adventure of their own or just sit back and relax for a little while. There will be: wolfboys, catboys, fairy boys, and more, and there might even a harem of them. I haven't decided for sure if there's a harem yet or not, but I've put the tag on because it's not outside of the realm of possibility. There is also a Level reset mechanic that will come into play. This is not an OP powerfantasy. While the MC will grow strong, he won't become ridiculously powerful for an adventurer and will meet others at or above his own level of might from time to time. There will be times he struggles, fails, or needs to retreat. There is no posting schedule. Chapters will go up when I post them.

System
The story takes place on the world known as Edge, a place of fantasy and wonder. William Crow is an orphaned teen on the cusp of manhood, and is also a member of a class known as "soulless", for in this world those who do not develop their own "soul skill" become known as such. Soul skills vary in range and rarity, having many different functions and uses; however, not having one automatically makes an individual have incredibly low standing amongst society. William's inability to develop his own soul skill, along with the loss of his parents at a very young age, drives him into the corner of life. Making him a reserved and often frightened individual. However, his life changes drastically when he is chosen for one of the "Scouting" lotteries, in which the capital city forces some of the soulless to scout potential danger zones for monsters or enemy units. It's during this "mission" that he discovers the power that lies within him: System.

In order to create the Ultimate MC, I became Soldier A!?
Hello, my name is Yukimura Shin. I used to be a mangaka for Shounen Jump, but I was fired all of a sudden one day. Why? According to the editor, it was because my MCs are always too “2-D.” What am I supposed to do then??? Unemployed and desperate, I was offered one last chance. A chance to observe and create the ultimate MC. “In order to create the Ultimate MC, I became Soldier A!?” *Note: This fiction is episodic and a light-read. Pure non-sense. Please do not proceed if you are one that puts an emphasis on plot, as this will be similar to Gintama (completely crazy, I would say).
