《Vast Martial World》Chapter 2: Thanks, Wikipedia
Advertisement
Although I was extremely annoyed that I missed out on Dragon Eagles, I couldn’t deny that the 30 odd turtles that spawned after my race was selected were cute. Most amusingly, they walked on their hind legs, wandering around the valley. A few jumped in the water and were splashing each other playfully.
A smile tugged at my lips. ‘Well, you weren’t the ideal, but… you are still my adorable children. I will protect you all!’
Tips appeared, showing that population was in the lower right corner, Face in the upper right. There were 32 turtles and I had 100 Face.
Another notification popped up: Please select a location for your sect headquarters.
After looking at the valley again, I chose a spot near the pool formed from the waterfall. I did set it somewhat back, away from the waterfall, because the amount of water coming down seemed a little dangerous.
Clicking, I watched with a certain amount of amusement as the turtles swarmed to work, creating small handaxes from nowhere and chopping down trees, swiftly erecting a smallish lodge.
When completed, 3 small fireworks shot up, exploding over the pool of water, reflected brilliantly. The turtles politely clapped.
‘Huhuhu, such hard working children… Now what do I do-’
Please enter your nomological truths of the sect. Due to lottery, you may choose 3 truths.
Three completely blank boxes appeared in front of me.
‘Do I just...type stuff in…? How would that even work…?’
First, I alt-tab’d out and looked up nomological.
‘Laws that lack logical necessity or theoretical underpinnings, huh…’ I thought, wondering what to do.
Then my eyes glinted, the dream of the Dragon Eagles still firmly planted in my heart.
“The Sky is the Sea!”
1st Nomological Truth Accepted.
“To Sky Swim is to fly, and it is possible to travel anywhere!”

2nd Nomological Truth Accepted.
“We are descended from… “
I paused. I needed something that sounded powerful. Humu.
“We are descended from… the Red-eyed Osprey Turtle!”
3rd Nomological Truth Partially Accepted. Error. Please revise.
A box appeared.
I grimaced. So osprey turtle really wouldn’t do it, huh…?
But I looked, slack-jawed, that Osprey Turtle was greyed out, apparently locked in. What was rejected was Red-eyed….?
I guess the point was that I was descended from something extraordinarily powerful, right? Then the problem wasn’t that it was too ridiculous, but that…
It wasn’t nearly ridiculous enough!
‘What sort of game was this…?’
But even though I thought this, I was still grinning. It was… fun in a strange way, even if it basically just would affect the name of my sect, I suspected.
After a bit of research online, it seemed that the most common powerful nomological type was yang. So maybe just Yang-eyed? That still seemed boring…
What if…
I clicked behind the greyed out Osprey Turtle text. Surprisingly, I was able to select it, and add text there. Giggling, I typed.
“We are descended from… the Osprey Turtle whose Gaze is the Sun!
3rd Nomological Truth Accepted! Calculating race’s personality…
Personality determined! The Red-eyed Turtle will be: Stubborn, Arrogant, Unrelenting, and Volatile!
….Aren’t those all terrible things….? Especially combined….?
A beam of light descended, hitting the lodge of the sect, and the glow slowly spread out suffusing into all of the surrounding turtles. I watched slightly worriedly. My people were… less rational than I had hopped. Well, I suppose I could be a warlike people?
...of turtles…?
Anyway, although this was all fun, it hardly felt like a simulation game at all….
Several moments passed, all of the turtles completely still.
*Boop, Boop, Boop*
As soon as I thought nothing was going to happen, three turtles had little dialogue boxes with exclamation points hovering above their heads. Curious, I clicked on one.

“Humph, humph, I am Madam Shellton. I’m sure you’ve heard of me. I’ve noticed that our resources have gone unused for far too long. Send the resources to me, and I will lead our Sect to greatness. What we need is power! Training! Tempering! Using the herbs gathered, I will strengthen our youths so we may honor our great ancestor. Sending them to stand under the waterfall shall do nicely. Some might perish, but they are naught but the weak anyway, hurr hurr. Needless to say, if you do not choose to support me… well. Perhaps you aren’t as wise as you are cracked up to be!”
This….
Isn’t this an ultimatum?
From an NPC in game?!?
FIRST THING?!?!?

Not only does she not have her arms and legs,she also doesn't have a mouth to talk.She doesn't even have friends to talk to!And to add insult to injury, the god even likes to prank her! Where is she? Why did she die? Or perhaps she didn't die but was just transported into this world by mistake. She found out that she wasn’t just a simple weed in a simple world. Perhaps, this is an RPG world and she is the main character.

My grammar might be *not good* for some people but I assure you that it's readable. There are a couple of authors that help me with proofreading some chapters, but because I want to release faster, I do not go through proofreading and post as soon as I finish a chapter. Plus, I am now using Grammarly.com There is no romance for the MC in the story, like you may expect, even though there are a lot of good looking men and women. *mild spoiler* After chapter 3, The mc meets quite some friends, before grinding her level after chapter 15. I assure you, it will be really hardcore for her since she will have to fight alone while her friends are doing other things. *spoiler end* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From now on, an update will happen every two week. I will also edit the old chapters on Monday. The people that want to read a proofread/edited version, will have to check it on Tuesday. ON HALT!

Genso Suikoden: Worlds Collide
The story is set in the Queendom of Falena, the universe of the JRPG game Suikoden V. Though technically a monarchy, the aristocracy holds so much power within Falena that their squabbles and power-plays threaten to de-stablise the whole country. Complicating matters is the presence of the Sun Rune, an royal artifact of apocalyptic power and one of the 27 True Runes in the world of Suikoden. The main character is the Prince of Falena, Freyjadour, who is an unimportant figurehead not in line to the throne. During one of his royal inspections, he meets Natsu, Happy, Gray, and Erza who are a part of an alternate universe (Fairy Tail) and helps them find a way back to their home. Little do they know that it's not only them who came to this world… [This is basically a novelization of the game but with different twists due to the multiple crossovers. Therefore, there is no need to know any of the fandoms involved in this story. This will read like an actual novel itself. The universe and the characters are not owned by me.]

Saga of the Space Marines
HARVEST! BUILD! DESTROY! Total war until annihilation. This is the story of the end of the human race. If it sounds like fun it’s because it is. The Saga relates the events and personal histories of the men of the 3rd Marine Space Expeditionary Force and their bitter MAXWAR (mutually assured eXtinction war) against the alien Krag Subjugation. Told from the view point of the warfighters on the front lines, the blue collar workers who build and maintain the infrastructure that supports them, and the scientists and engineers who develop the technologies that power their victories on the battlefield. This mission, The Maggot Colony, relates the first part of the adventure, where their capital ship, The Good Shepherd, is critically damaged, and a small force is sent to establish an outpost on the surface of a nearby planet to secure much needed emergency supplies and fuel. The situation is desperate, the fighting is brutal and the technical challenges both in space and on the planet surface seem insurmountable. Fans who enjoy the intellectual challenges and intricate storylines from real-time-strategy games such as Starcraft II or the pure destructive awesomeness of first person shooters such as Doom, Halo and Gears of War are encouraged to check out the Space Marines. It’s not for everyone, but it might be just what you are looking for. Best of luck in choosing your next read, and if you don’t pick the Saga of the Space Marines today please consider us next time because reading great stories is time well spent. See you in the comment section everybody!
