From the dark cave in Auraxim, a peaceful planet where magic and god exists, a flickering light can be seen, the light scared some bugs resting above it, but then the light disappear harmlessly as if nothing happened, then it lit up and repeat the same on-off flickering act again with a short interval of 2 seconds.

The light stops flickering and now becoming more stable and brighter than before, then the machine sudden unlock its neck bracing locks to raise it out of its body, breaking off some dried roots, mosses and dirt off its head in the process.
Now with its head freed, the machine begin to turn its head around slowly to scan its surrounding in its basic vision form, infra-red light, the machine can't tell if the place is lit or not or what the texture of the dirt and rock in the cave is like, but the result informed the machine that the place is quite cold and the picture fidelity is just sharp enough for the machine to realize that it is in some kinds of tunnel from its point of view.

The machine slowly moves its head up and down slightly for a bit as it does the scan for the ceiling and the ground for any special detail to take note on, but all it can find is just 'cold and flat(?)'. It also had done basic sensor checkups for internal as well as external units, the machine is in poor condition, it seemed like it has settled down in the cave for quite a long time, long enough for its main fuel cells to go dry completely and secondary RTG cell to become just a useless metal pipe containing lead and coal, structural integrity also went downhill too, many motors are jammed tight with dirt and mineral rocks, added with all the dirt and rocks littered around and on the machine mean it gonna stay immobile for a while until it gain enough power to exit safe mode and allow the old processor to run full clockspeed and its 'eyes' to see other lights smaller than infrared light.

The machine's head lowers down into its body like a turtle again as it shuts down the graphical sensors in the head and shifts powers to other sensors near the auxiliary power generating modules where the thermal converter is running hot at 400 degree celsius, something that should not happen in a cold 10 degree celsius cave and other heatsinks nearby is running cold at ambient temperature. The handicapped CPU at first registered this as an error reading and tagged it invalid, but 600 diagnostic reports later, the CPU begin to remove the invalid tag as it registers it as an 'unknown anomaly' and tagged it 'to be studied-high priority' before going idle again.
12 hours passed, and the machine finally gathered enough power to turn off handicap mode, the CPU buzzes through the piled up data it collected crazily as if it just had a bottle worth of coffee and runs in overclocked mode to solve the problems, but unfortunately, all results return invalid values, even after recounting them with different formulas and using unproven theories that the machine pulled out from its data drive the machine only can get a big red invalid value as its answer. Now 'baffled' and running low on power again, the machine begin a quick logic debate whether to tag the thermal anomaly as a glitch or something else, but since all diagnostic data favors that something else many times more than the glitch option, the machine has no other option to call out another logic debate to put a name to it, or even better, kick-starting a research why the machine could not produce an answer.

The machine quickly falls into slumber again as the bracing locks around the head are engaged and secured the head firmly to its torso as a standard shutdown procedure, now the machine wait for the internal power banks to stock up as much power as it can get before it awaken again to find a way to free itself without damaging its body too much to prepare for a small exploration plan for both inside and outside of the cave.

A Comprehensive Guide for Alchemy
A guidebook designed for alchemists of every tier to help refine their craft and provide direction. Formed of countless recipes and techniques, developed over the ages by the collective knowledge of our study, this is a definite supplement material for any aspiring alchemist. This discusses not only the recipe itself, giving you instructions for each one, but directs you to things not to do in the recipe. It isn’t uncommon for starting alchemists to unknowingly make a small change, and before they know it… BOOM! For a relatively minor price you too purchase this guidebook and start working towards building up a proper base of knowledge in alchemy. Even those with considerable ability may learn a thing or two from this! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is purely a guidebook for alchemy in a magical world, and as such contains no story elements. The cultivation (and alchemical) tiers are not at all necessary to understand the book, but exist because in the context of the book it would be important. I'm more than happy to write up any alchemical ideas you've ever had, totally not using this as an excuse to reduce my creative thinking hours... Just PM the idea or post it as a comment in any chapter, with a bit of balancing there's pretty much no idea that can't be done! Hiatus while I focus on shorter stories for competitions

Re:Interference- Did something go wrong with my Rebirth?
> The GOD made a simple offer. And the man rejoiced, and gladly accepted. However...something goes wrong, and instead of being reborn, the man wakes up inside a strange room in a ruined temple. > -NOTICE- This series is also available on my personal blog, along with two other series I am currently working on (blog exclusives). -NOTICE- CHANGE OF SCHEDULE- Due to some IRL stuff, I am forced to change the schedule for Re:Interference. Because of that, I will make two major changes to the schedule. First, I will be able to release one single chapter each week. Next, the release of it will be random. That means, one week I could release it on friday, the next one on sunday etc... whenever a chapter is ready (writing, editing, proofreading of 9000+ words) it will be released. If you read this, please do keep in mind that: English is not my native language (so, by all means, if you spot bad grammar/ wrong terms etc take your time to leave a comment, it will help me a lot) As this is my first attempt at writing a web novel (well...technically it's my second attempt...but oh well) please leave some feedback about the story. Any kind of feedback will be appreciated (unless it is just blatant, non-funny insult) Thank You for your Time!
