« Hey, old pal ! We are here to report the achievement of the quests you gave us.”
We took him out of his sleep once more.
“Mh? Oh, nice! Tell me everything…”
…
“Mal Tharek? Yes, it’s seems possible… but who is he?”
“That, we don’t know!”
“Well, let’s begin by giving you your rewards

“Well, my job is nearly over… to continue the tutorial, you can go to Komyshany town, and find the instructor there. It’s Elongoic, who is not far from the Necros altar. You will recognize her easily as she has a purple robe and is pale as a shroud. She will tell you more on Mal Tharek.
“Oh, as I am at it, you met Pruurg, our village weaver. He can also give you quests. Good luck!”
“Thanks old pal!”
“Let’s go to Komyshany!”
“It’s time to disconnect. A little scan, and it’s over for today.”

The lake reflects my face… perfect.

“Well, it was so cool to play together, Jean Bondepays. Let’s play again tomorrow?”
“Yes, and we’ll go out of this small village to visit the town a little bit further. We’ll reappear at the Necros Altar, it’s our teleportation beacon right now”
“OK, see you!”
“Ciao!”
Disconnection
***
“Aunty? What are you doing here?”
“You could at least escort him!”
“Hey, ho! I know when he goes in the machine, I don’t know when he goes out! And… he seemed to have so much fun!”
Mummy and aunty are always squabbling like this, it’s their way to tell each other they keep heart of the other.
I have many younger brothers, but we are more used to fight with each other more than talking on nonsense…
“So, Jules, tell your mummy what you think of your internship!”
“Oh, yes… it’s cool…”
“And what does it consist in, this job?”
“Oh, well… I have to check the good operation of the game, more particularly on some people that don’t seem to respect the rules. Right now, I just learn to progress in the virtual world, it’s cool…”
“it’s cool, it’s cool… you only have these words on your tongue? Well… at least it’s not dangerous?”
“Huh, I don’t risk to experience pain as machine are very efficient in blocking the suffering. And, aunty can always intervene if I have a problem.”
“Yes, that’s crystal clear, I’m always around if he needs me. But there is nothing to fear about!”

“Table! It’s appetizer time!”
It’s daddy, he’s going out of the kitchen. Tonight, we celebrate my first internship day!”
***
“So, now, tell me what you thought about those little cheese croissants, and those mini goat cheese tart with honey and nuts!”
“Daddy, why did you put so much mustard on the croissants? It’s burning!”
“You shouldn’t have prepared the tarts this way. The pastry is not baked, and the honey is burnt on top! You should have lowered the temperature and put them lower inside the oven!”
“At least, cokes are fresh. Sweetheart, it’s very kind of you, but we can see that… mini bakery… for it, you are still a beginner!”
Poor daddy! It will be better next time!
“Well, well… so, what do you plan to do for next weeks? You know that as long as heat wave continue, it’s not possible to travel…”
“I planned everything for my lovely nephew: Jules works for me 4 hours a day, 5 days a week, I take care of lunch, and he can play the rest of the time. If you leave him going back home around 9 PM, he should be able to really benefit from the game and do a good work for me.
My parents looked at each other, pensive...
“In itself, it doesn’t bother us. A good experience in Alter Life, it should open his mind a little. But it won’t make vacation homework.”
“Daddy! I don’t have homework!”
“He’s right, next year, if Jules does an alternation in Alt F4, we can take care of his training. But this, it will depend on how he progresses in Alter Life, I will have to convince my superiors.”
“It’s OK. If he can get an alternation contract, even if he’s only 15, I’m okay with it.”
***
Evening finished quietly, and I didn’t go to bed too late, after having taken a look on the internet.
After all, this conversation with aunty and my parents put me under pressure.
Since the beginning of previous century, many things have changed…
But one hasn’t changed: parents worries about their children future, and that they get a good professional situation.
I’m not really good at studying, I just have facilities, and because of this, I don’t work really hard.
On the other side, I have many friends, I have a very easy first contact! It will help me a lot in Alter Life as it’s important to often go talking to strangers, interact with players as well as NPC.
In the night silence, I think about my 2 characters: Jules squire is weak and still level 1, but I learnt how to swim; Jules zombie has progressed much faster and has already done several quests.
I should maybe tell Gandock that I want to do many quests, in order to get a more interesting level.
Making me swim all the afternoon… what a weirdo, this knight!
The more I think about him, the less I understand him…
After all… adult world is very complex, and I just enter inside: I’m still a beginner!
Something disturbed me: on Alter Life website, we can get an access at the name of every player…
No one is called Gandock…
And in the wiki about NPC, there are millions of names… but none is Gandock.
Nothing on characters used by administrators either.
It’s as if… this knight were a ghost.
He doesn’t leave a trace!

The story of how a Cultivation Universe was Conquered by an Interstellar Weapons Platform
What do you get when you cross a world of Magic, Cultivation and Legends with one of Science, Logic and Overwhelming Firepower?\o\ Chaos! /o/Alpha is a sapient AI who's job (and Passion) is the exploration, exploitation and eventual colonization of new worlds for the Federation, a Galaxy spanning empire of Science and Technology. When an unexpected accident deposits this literal War Machine on a planet full of Cultivators and Wizards, chaos and insanity ensues. What Alpha and those around him don't know, however, is that he will soon become the focal point of a millennias long plot that holds not only the fate of the world in its balance, but possibly the entire Galaxy.Ancient Enemies awaken as the Powerhouses of the world converge with Alpha at the center. Get ready, its going to be a wild ride. ------------------------------------------------------- |_+) Come, Read the Story. Watch Worlds be Conquered. (ALL HAIL YOUR NEW ROBOT OVERLORDS!) See Arrogant Young Masters be slapped in the face (by a 170mm Rail-slug traveling Mach 3). Find Grand, Valuable Treasure (which gets put into storage, because what use does an AI have with pill herbs?) Explore Strange and wonderful lands (that will be shortly stripped mined and exploited for all usable resources) |_+) JOIN US!______________________________________ ALPHA-555-12-4412 (Designation: Star Conquer).One of the 5 most powerful and advanced AI-driven Interstellar Weapon Platforms ever built, was programmed with a very simple mission. Travel the stars.Seek out new and hospitable Alien Worlds.Establish a Forward based for their Master's eventual colonization.And, If necessary, crush any and all native resistance it might find. It was a Mission that Alpha took seriously and dedicated its entire being to.However, when Alpha flies a liiiiitle to close to a Blackhole and gets sucked in, it is thrown into a situation that no amount of programming could prepare it for. Now stranded on an alien, yet familiar world, full of dangerous beasts and strange phenomenon its database has no record or explanation for, Alpha must find a way to not only survive, but thrive.And eventually to do what he was built to do. Conquer._____________________________________________________Some things to expect from this Story 1): MC is an AI programmed with a very specific goal. Thus don't expect him to think or act like a human might. That being said, he/it is not bloodthirsty and evil either. He is specifically programed to work with, and indoctrinate Native species when possible. He is not a demon lord come to end the world as they know it, but a Conqueror come to subjugate. 2): MC won't be getting some kind of Humanoid form or suddenly start trying to think like a Human. Although an AI, he is perfectly Sapient, and fully understands both what he is and what is mission is. He is capable of adapting and changing his thought process, but at the end of the day, the Mission is what matters to him. He doesn't see the need or even WANTS to be Human. The only exception to this might be Humanoid body doubles or puppets used in places his main body isn't able to go. 3): This story is a mix of both Sci-Fi and Cultivation novels. MC with NOT be able to Cultivate themselves (for obvious reasons), but using his technology and knowledge, will be able to adapt and repurpose the strange and exotic resources you might find in a Cultivation World to increase his power and keep up with the powerhouses of this Universe. 4): The Intention of this story is to alternate between it and Parasite King, so I don't get burned out writing either one. As such, updates, while not slow, won't be to quick. Bare with me for awhile till the wheels get rolling.

What if the world was an RPG?
What if the world turned into an rpg? Throughout my entire life I always dreamt about magic, fantasy and otherworldly stuff that could never exist in my world.I would constantly daydream about being a hero in another world or maby a demon king in another world. Not only would i dream these dreams for years on end, but i would also ask myself questions such as "what would happen if people got superpowers" or " What if there was a RPG-system that gave you a class and powers and so on". These were just some of the questions i would ask myself on daily basis, well rather than to ask myself questions about it. I dreamt about it, I wished for it and i begged for it, but to no avail. So what was to come now, when a bluescreen suddenly popped up infront of my face and my surroundings turned to white.

Wolves of the Apocalypse
Too many people fantasized about a zombie apocalypse for the world to be taken by surprise. The world didn’t end, society didn’t collapse, our moral values didn’t break down as years with undeath looming over us turned into generations; just us hiding in our cities from a dead world desperately clawing its way in. God, if only it were that simple.

The Arcane Prince
Book 1 is complete and fully posted here on RoyalRoad. The story is on break as I work on Book 2, which will be posted once I have finished writing it. Max is a twelve-year-old boy from the slums who dreams of seeing the world, learning magic, and adventure. On the same day that Max learns his first spell, he meets Colt, a noble-born lad on his own path to power. Colt is kind. Oblivious to the world, but kind. By his grace, Max begins to learn under Colt's instructor, even hunting monsters in the forests to the north. Max is talented and grows in power quickly, but as he prepares for the first of his adventures, the kingdom faces the greatest threat in centuries. Posting Schedule: Every 3 days until the end of Book 1 (Chapter 45). IMPORTANT NOTES: 1) This is a story about an OP boy doing OP boy things. By the end of Book 1, there will be few fights that he struggles with, and he will rarely, if ever, find his life in peril. 2) This is a slice-of-life and adventure story, which means that there will be periods of chapters without any action or conflict, but also periods of chapters with battles and exploration/adventure (the latter mostly being Book 2+). 3) There will be NO petty squabbles or conflicts going on in this story, because it is meant to be a fun one, not a high-tension, drama-filled story. So it will NOT be that. If you want lots of action or lots of conflict, then find another story to read because this isn't it. 4) There will never be an overarching evil/villain/conflict to deal with in this story past Book 1. Ever. 5) Book 1 is entirely written and can be considered a standalone story on its own. Right now, the story may last 2-3 books, or it may last 7-10 books. It is guaranteed to make it through Book 2 or 3, and if I decide to go with the bigger journey I have planned after that, then it will be longer. There will be a several-month wait between Book 1 and Book 2. 6) The story contains the sexual content tag, but it will not contain any unless Max and his future boyfriend reach 18+ years of age in-story. If I decide to bring the story to a conclusion with Book 2 or 3, or they never reach that age in the full story for the long journey, then I will remove the tag. 7) There are currently absolutely no plans to make this story into a harem if I write the extended story. If I write the extended story and decide at some point to make it one, then I will add the appropriate tag and inform readers of this decision. However, there are currently zero plans to make it one. 8) This story takes place in its own story universe, with its own rules. Please keep that in mind when reading it and other stories.
