《Master of combat in a Different World》Prologue: A end of a certain life
Advertisement
“Boring as usual” These words were uttered by a certain scientist who was casually walking down the street. The sky’s grey and here he was, walking down the road again. This man’s name is Siris, a man whom you really couldn’t call ugly, or really too handsome either. He was a scientist who was only 24 years old, but still having no girlfriend.
(I still can’t bring them back or even find a clue, even when I went to the deepest of science and occult) the man thought to himself while kicking away the rocks on the street.
8 years ago, on a certain day when Siris was turning 17, a mysterious phenomenon occurred. Golden light enveloped his class and the next thing he knew, his class mates were gone.but for some reason, he wasn’t gone, and still breathing. The next day he became famous for being the only student to survive the phenomenon. But he was severely shocked and grieved the loss his best friends, Ed, and a certain girl he had his crush on. From that day onwards, he studied science and occults to find a way and define this ‘phenomenon’ that took almost everything away from him.
(I want to meet them again) Siris thought about his classmates’ smiling face. Siris have tried his hardest and studied deeply into the religion in many countries too, but to vain. (Well, I gotta go finish my muay thai training too.) AT THAT MOMENT.
“Get out of the [email protected]#$ing way!”
Someone stabbed his back and he felt the sensation of pain running through his nerves.
(Ahhh….) Siris thought while hearing the voice of a woman screaming from the back. His mind started to turn blank.(Well… at least I was able to leave without too much regret…) he thought on the back of his mind. His parents has already passed away happily, he lived a good, satisfying life. He should have had no regrets but….
(I wish….)
(I wish, for 1 more time)
(I want to see my classmates again…)
And thus ended Siris’s life in this world.

Humanity's End
Given a year to prepare by the mysterious ‘system’ for contact with the wider galaxy, humanity must work to ensure the Earth’s defense is ready to meet any challenge. Sadly, most of the world seems dedicated to tearing itself apart as the year-end deadline gets closer. The west is in barely contained Chaos, while the east descends into internal conflict and war. The Pillar Forts, one of the few successful projects of the United Nations headed by the United States, stand ready to defend humanity against any invasion that may come through the strange Connection Pillars that appeared on each continent. Massive steel and stone walls that surround the Connection Pillars. They are filled with deadly men and women trained in all manner of warfare, each trained in the newly acquired System with skills and magical abilities that they put to deadly purpose. Beside these brave warriors, tanks, helicopters, artillery and more stand ready to defend humanity at each of these powerful installations. But, can they overcome the disparity in levels and experience between themselves and the forces that threaten them and the rest of humanity? Main Characters Jessica Brown- A young African American girl. Her 18th birthday in Detroit was the same day the systems message appeared. She discovered she was Level 7, much higher than most of the rest of the world. Why she is blessed, or cursed, with the power she doesn’t know. But what she does know is that she rather likes the feeling that comes with manipulating magic. The week after her birthday, government workers started testing every person in the US in a massive census effort of skills and abilities. Jessica Brown found herself conscripted into the US Magical Corp, a new branch of the US Military, and shipped off to a Pillar Fort. Somewhere hot and muggy in her ancestors’ home of Africa. As she grows stronger, she finds she has some connection to the pillars. While everyone else sees beauty or danger when they look at the pillars, after connection is made all Jessica can see is a Tree. A tree the size of the entire universe. Isaka Smith - is a third generation American and farmer who just wants to be left alone. But she is dragged into the situation by events beyond her control. When people in her small town had to deal with rioters and looters after the system announcement, she rallied them to defend themselves, earning her a trait that the government found extraordinarily useful. After a visit to a local reservation, she finds herself conscripted to lead one of the many small support towns erected around the great pillar forts. Not near her old home, but in far-flung Africa. John McIntire, the “Fighting Bull” -The commander of the African Fort, but because of circumstances beyond his ability to contend with shortly after taking command after being re-activated from retirement, he finds communication with his chain of command increasingly difficult. The US government, hell, even the United Nations, seems to have fallen into complete and utter chaos. The African Union is embroiled in a bitter civil war just outside his door, and supposedly, most of the world governments are in similar situations. Meanwhile, John must do his best to be ready to facilitate diplomacy, or to match the hostile argument of whatever force might come through the pillar of light when the year timer finishes counting down. Can our heros defend Earth from outside threats, while it tares itself apart? Or will they need to rebuild from the ground up? DEDICATION: This story is dedicated to my father who passed away recently. Jim Holloway, you’ll be missed you old silverback gorilla. Love you dad. Always have, always will.

The Code of Life - Epic Fantasy/Scifi LitRPG Series
Strange new worlds with monsters and beasts, some to tame, some to slain. Some to make friends of as you realize you're a bigger monster than they could ever be... And you have to move and progress. Learn and survive. Only that can unlock the boxes of secrets and provide answers to the ultimate of riddles. Seemingly randomly selected, thirteen people of diverse backgrounds are given access codes to the MOLI. It offers a strange new experience that looks very seductive and engaging, with stunning graphics and alluring species, just utterly mindblowing and addictive. But, it seems nobody knows what MOLI actually is, a whole new level in VR gaming or an inexplicable transference to another universe with different worlds and their own laws and customs. The experience feels so real it’s difficult to be certain. But they have to find the answers fast because people soon start to die. *** This is not intended to be a typical litRPG series, although it uses a lot of its elements to help create the whole setting. Planning to publish a chapter a day, so be warned of the editing mistakes that are certain to sneak through. Hope to keep on fixing them as I go along.
