AUTOMATED PROCEDURAL TRANSCRIPT OF AUDIO RECORDING
SESSION SIXTEEN
LEADING INTERROGATOR: RYAN SILAS, FURTHER ‘RS’
__TH OF ____, XXXX
RS: Interrogation of suspect, code-name ‘Orion’, session sixteen, lead by Ryan Silas. How is solitary treating you?
O: Better. Look, I’m sorry about last time.
RS: For having a panic attack? No need.
O: Just, thank you. For the transfer.
RS: You’re the first person I’ve met that actually wanted to go into solitary, but I guess I can see where you’re coming from. You do realize we have to talk about it.
O: About someone trying to kill me? Yeah.
RS: What happened?
O: Someone tried to kill me.
RS: Do you know who?
O: Define know.
RS: Have you met them before?
O: Nope.
RS: But you know something.
O: Yes.
RS: Helpful. Was it a Number?
RS: I’ll take that as a yes. Any distinguishing marks?
O: I wasn’t looking at facial features.
RS: Do you know why they came after you?
O: Is that a serious question?
RS: Could be because of your past with Rivers. Could be because of your connection to Michael Runner. Could be because you’re talking to me.
O: I’m guessing it’s a combination of all of those.
RS: Fair enough. We’ll look into it. I would ask if you’re alright, but I’ve seen the medical reports.
O: I would say I feel like my privacy is being violated, but I don’t really have privacy any more.
RS: Look, I know this is hard, but
O: Easy, Silas. I’m aware, and I can deal with it. No need for you to go all mushy on me.
RS: Right. Seriously, though. Are you okay?
O: Yes. I’m okay.
RS: Good. Have someone contact me if anything comes up. This session was only meant to be a follow up on recent events. You’re on medical leave, so to say. Get some rest, and we’ll talk again in a week or so.
O: Vacation time. I like it.

Birth of Mana
Residents of the world today only know of the sky as a sheet of pure darkness. Alz is an elf who was separated from his parents at birth due to the village’s tradition. One day, Alz stumbles upon a relic from the past, learning about the world which once existed, where lights illuminated the skies. Inspired by this, the young Alz decided to go on an adventure, an adventure to explore the vast world he lived in. Discover the world with Alz as he sets off on an adventure, experiencing many new encounters, and overcoming obstacles along the way as he slowly delved deeper into the truths behind the world. --- IMPORTANT NOTE: This story is not fantasy-themed and not I didn't omit the fantasy tag by mistake. That said, there is meaning and significance to the title, except that it will be unveiled only much later into the story. Magical elements and the like will not be a factor in most of the story until the very end. tl;dr: This is not fantasy, magic doesn't play a role in the story. --- Updates: Will try to post a chapter once every 2 days PS. This is my first novel so there might be several issues in various aspects which I might not notice so comments are highly appreciated. --- This is more to add pressure to myself rather than anything else... but anyways the story is now part of the pledge!

I Need Time
An action, adventure, mystery and strategy story about a strong male lead. Author note: First time author, good amount of buffer chapters (over 50k words) so I will not drop this book anytime soon. This book will mostly be from the perspective of the MC. On average +5k words will be published per week. I have not chosen some of the genres and tags as I do not wish to give away parts of the story. I added the content warning tags as there will come a time for profanities, gore and maybe "traumatising" content. Though, in my opinion the content will be mild if not light. *****SPOILER*****SPOILER***** Synopsis: A college ICT student transmigrates to another world filled with magic and learns magic from a dragon. MC uses modern knowledge to develop magitech technology. MC starts his adventure using the technology he develops! Saving princesses, fighting hidden criminal organizations, learning how horribly medieval peasants live, reasoning with uneducated narrow minded people, investigating the nature of magic and searching for gods... Story review: A fantasy/sci-fi story filled with some common cliches yet presents somewhat original ideas and a few unexpected twists & turns here and there. This novel also explores a few of the commonly ignored topics concerning medieval fantasy like hygiene, culture, education(ignorance, narrow mindedness) and the fact that everybody is short because magical crops cost too much. Modern knowledge in such a setting can often times revolutionize the world if the protagonist is not an idiot or weak willed or thinks something stupid like he should not intervene in a society that systematically practices unequality of opportunity, slavery and other nasty things, of course sometimes the protagonist can be just unlucky by being enslaved, etc. In our case we are granted a protagonist who had an initial stroke of luck, learning magic from a dragon instead of struggling for years without it or randomly dieing. After that his luck goes down the drain. It is arguable whether the princess is a good stroke of luck or not, I digress. Anyway the challenges the protagonist must face will grow and no more luck or helping hands. After gaining enough power and security the protagonist will change the world for the better or at least give it a stronge push onto the right track. He will make a lot of lives better but things are never so simple and there is much more to this world than meets the eye... Missing genres & tags: Fantasy, Sci-fi, Magic. *****SPOILER*****SPOILER*****
