《The Never-Ending Search for Amusement》Catching Up
Advertisement
I spent a couple centuries in my epic castle of relaxation. I got tired of making whatever I wanted, so I made a butler, some maids and a few chefs who never get tired, didn’t need to eat and were essentially immortal. You heard me right; I made a bunch of deities, super powerful immortal beings, to help me reach new depths of laziness.
Nothing lasts forever, though, and I eventually got tired of gorging myself on endless feasts of every food imaginable, all the while getting a full massage from three separate masseuses. I told my faithful servants that I would be gone for a while and they could do whatever they wanted until my return. Even my stoic butler’s expression cracked for a moment, and I could see tears of joy in everyone’s eyes. Finally, the lazy glutton that had made them work for centuries was leaving. Finally, they could get some peace and quiet.
The first thing I did once I stepped through the portal was say “Wow!”. I’d spent so long in my pocket dimension that I’d forgotten how beautiful the Universe was! With beauty on my mind, I decided to visit Earth. It was doing pretty well. The animals were getting smarter, and a couple primates were using sticks to catch insects and rocks to smash nuts. They were a lot smaller than most predators, though, and hid in the trees whenever one came around. Maybe one day they’d learn how to make a club. Whatever. On to the deities!
Well, that’s cool. To help them record everything about the universe, they made a giant library in the safest part of the universe; a black hole. No, think about it! If you could make something that a black hole couldn’t destroy and put it in one, nothing natural could ever touch it. Pretty smart. To enter the library, you go through a special tunnel made of- hey, singularities! That’s what I used to make my portal! They just copied what I did, didn’t they?

I entered the library, and boy, is it big! It’s a giant room full of...everything. Every atom, every molecule, every substance possible is contained in little singularity boxes. Well, not everything. They’re missing a couple. But who keeps track of it all? Oh, there’s the librarian!
“Hello, Magus,” I said. He whirled around. Man, I love startling people. Also, props to him for condensing himself into a humanoid shape. That’s not easy for something with as many atoms as a small galaxy.
“G-god? You have a body now!” What, so he gets one and I don’t? That’s not fair. “Of course. How else could I enjoy food and massages?” Logic at it’s finest.
“Also, don’t call me god. I need a real name. Call me...Omnipotens, or Omni for short,” There. A proper name. How have I forgotten to get one for so long? Oh, right. I’ve been a real Jabba for the past few decades. Yes, ‘Jabba’ is a real word. I’m god, and I say so!
“I like what you’ve done here. Looking at your holographic map (yes, they made one), you’ve explored most of the Universe. Good job,”. He laughed nervously. I’m not that scary, am I? “Thanks, Omni…The other deities will be here soon. You could wait for them at the entrance…” He really wants to get rid of me. Ok. Bye!

VRMMO: Passing of the Sword
This isn’t a game designed just for entertainment, and it didn’t just appear in front of me for no reason - even the class I received wasn’t a coincidence. This truly is such a hateful world...but since it’s already come, I can only take up that broken sword once again.In the name of the Sword of Hope I discarded, I will rid this chaotic world of evil! I will step on the path of endless darkness, cutting down all evils that disturb the world!
8 1248Blackened Blood[Progression Fantasy]
Broken and lost by the dredges of this world a boy awakens once again into life's game within hallowed black halls, his first taste of new life cold and hunger along with the echoing drip of temptation. Deep sickness festering within in him. Given a second chance by either coincidence or something more sinister, follow the story of he who bleeds black. Betrayal, greed and blood littered in droves across this hellbound path. ********** 2000+ words daily for now, will reduce to thrice a week after the writathon. If it wasn't clear, this is a vampire story taking place in a high fantasy environment. Although while its main character is a vampire and that is one main focus of the story it will also lend itself to the magic side of this world as well. Basically, if you're interested in vampires or magic heavy stories, this will have something for you... probably. The synopsis is kinda vague but If you give it a shot, I think you'll like it. Also, feel free to drop any sort of constructive criticism since this is one of my first experiences writing in first person.Forgot to add that the story will be a little less action-orientated until around chapter 20+ when... well... read and see :) Any chapters with the * next to them have been edited or tweaked. I'll remove it once all of them are.
8 174Dreams Come True
In a futuristic world of superheroes and supervillains, the ability to dream of another world doesn’t seem that applicable nor useful. But for Demund, who has recently sent off his best friend to the superhero training grounds—the Preliminary Islands—it was nothing but life-changing. For him, a rejuvenating vacation to a world of magic is now only a good night’s rest away. As Demund explores his new world, reality around him begins to change. How will he manage to balance their existences together? Author's Note: It's going to be a very long story. While it may be (very) unrefined in the beginning, stick around and enjoy as the story grows. Cover by Sydorow.
8 177In this life, I will live peacefully
One morning I woke up in an unfamiliar body. How did I end up as some swordsman noble lady? Excellent question; I have no idea. But now that i have money, power and a stable job as the duchess of a nice piece of land, I sure as heck am not going to get back. What's that? Mercenaries are creating monsters with alchemy to insure their jobs won't disappear? The prince of a neighboring kingdom has sent me five marriage proposals this month alone? The Church which I am supposed to represent is running a propaganda campaign against demi-humans? Well, the least I can do is to fix things around my fief. Oh, and just in case anyone decided to go against me, I'll form an alliance with the crafter's guild, and start working on some semblance of modern artillery. Stay tuned, this story is getting re-written. Cover by HWPerfidy
