《Micro-Management: Survival Base》Short Story 1: Base Raid
Advertisement
Duncan sat himself down at the table, his parents sitting on one side of the table while his elder sister was tapping away on her phone.
"Laura, please put away your phone when we eat" Duncan's dad asked and Laura ignored him.
"Laura, listen to your father, I don't have to ask you again" the mother said softly, and with a roll of her eyes and a groan Laura put her phone on the table.
"Anything else you want to tell me" Laura said sarcastically.
"Come on Laura, why can't you be like your brother, see how he is sitting there ready to eat dinner.. Without any problems" the dad pointed out and Laura huffs. "You see as a huge disappointment don't you, compared to him I'm nothing" Laura exclaimed and she stormed off.
"Laura its not like that" the mother calls and she gets up from the table and chases after her.
Duncan's eyes followed both of them and then he turns to look at his dad who shrugs and takes his portion into the living room.
Duncan was glad that he didn't have to eat dinner at the table, he wouldn't have to act like he was actually enjoying life. Taking his plate into his room, he looks onto his phone to see a creature attacking the newly improved walls.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, What is that thing?" Duncan exclaimed.
The creature were huge invertebrates that were commonly labeled as centipede, unlike the one in the colony, this one was a monstrosity, it would tackle the barricade attempting to get in while the mouth part of the creature drooled out a corrosive liquid.
Duncan didn't want to waste one of his two taming charms on the creature so he influenced the people to stop cowering in fear and start attacking it.

To get Syndrome to attack the creature was easy, just whisper into his mind and say, "The creature has chocolate, kill it and you shall find"
With an outburst of chanting "Chocolate", Syndrome launched himself into the fray. The others were more reluctant in joining but when Syndrome tore a part of the creature's body off, their morale increased significantly.
Duncan sat back and watched the show, analyzing the attack patterns of the creature, first it would rush forward in a charge, the jaws grabbing anything in the way. then it would coil itself in a defensive position and eat the thing it grabbed. if it didn't grab anything then it would search for another target to charge at.
In total the lost creatures included 1 male and 2 female humans, with many more injured.
The two sahuagins and several of the remaining uninjured humans dragged the creature in, and a total of 5 points rolled in for defeating the [Rank 1: Lesser Acid Centipede]
Duncan was mildly taken back by the amount of points he received. All that for only 5 points?
Duncan chose for the three remaining females to remain inside the base at all times, they were not allowed to leave in fear of them dying off.
He unlocked the door for one of the rooms and he changed the empty space into a minor laboratory for 200, It had some of the most basic equipment and none of the advanced stuff used for analysis. He then used the remaining 55 points to give one person biological knowledge and tools for research.
"Alright, show me what this thing is made up of" Duncan smiled and he ordered the person with biological knowledge went into dissecting the creature.
"Now that everything has settled down, no creatures in the perimeter, lets get a status report, [Give Base Status]

Duck Around and Find Out
Flap never wanted to be anything more than a pond duck. He was perfectly happy with his life of mating, migrating, and eating fish. But all that changed when a spacefaring race of war-crazed giant chickens confused him for Earth's greatest gladiator, all on account of a sketchy lease deal from a few million years prior. Now Flap is Earth's Champion, unwittingly wrapped up in a high stakes conflict almost as old as time itself. Armed with a real dumbass of an artificial intelligence, a brain full of pop culture mush, and a hybrid body courtesy of an Academy Award-winning actor, Flap now has all the tools he needs to prevail in the bloody contest. The only question is whether he can learn to use them to save the Galaxy before his implant drives him nuts. Duck Around and Find Out is an absurd adventure across space and pond featuring GameLit elements, more movie and tv references than you can shake a stick at, and a cast of anthropomorphic animals that would make a furry cream their pants. Do you like ducks? And do you like space? Are you also a weirdo? If you answered yes to all three, this just might be the story for you. So if you're brave enough, Duck Around and Find Out.

Dimensions intersection
The 100 years war.Countless gods, devils, heavenly demons, dragons, beast emperors and many more supreme beings fought for supremacy.Due to the war space cracks plagued the dimensions causing them to intersect almost making them destroy each other.After countless efforts the dimensions finally stabilized making a whole new unique dimension.Note: some of you may not like the reincarnation tag so this is to explain some details coming in the plot (NO SPOILERS).the mc will come from earth but unlike lots of novels it will play a major role in his power and character development, i am always open for criticismIt will all be cleared up in the future with lots of fun. IMPORTANT NOTE!!!!: this was supposed to be surprise but as i went more deeply through the rules (in wuxiaworld) i found it will really be hard to be added to the front page, i like when i start something that i must finish it in the most efficient and best way possible with no regrets, so i added this, don't worry it won't be a spoiler, i am just giving a hint, as you already know from the title this novel features dimensions, and since this novel is made on wuxiaworld it must have something related to it, so figure it out a novel about dimensions and wuxiaworld which is full of fantasy novels. I hope you can support me in wuxiaworld so i could reach the main page, if you genuinely like the novel just look it up in original novels in wuxiaworld fourms and click it just for a view, thank you for the support. Thank you for reading.

Rimward Bound
Every citizen of the sky-cities of His Majesty's Star-Empire knows that a ship, both sky- and star-, is more then just a few bits of metal. It is the grand sum of it's hull and the crew that sail it. 'Hulls of battle-steel and men to match!' That's what the Navy's recruitment poster's claim at least. Every sailor knows that there is one more component that the city-bound folk ignore at their own peril: the soul of the ship. That it takes both man and hull to make a true ship, and that neither alone serve well or for long. In 8225 Lord Jeffrye Saltonstall the Fourth, Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps, demands semi-automated ships to 'reduce the loss of life among our brave crews', manages to convince the other politicians and bureaucrats to fund them, and gets the Office of Ship Construction to sign off on the ships as structurally sound. Dockyard workers shake their heads at the ships, muttering that they are cursed from birth, even as construction drags on. In 8230 the Explorer, first of her class, is launched. She sets out in 8233 to great fanfare on a trip expected to last six months. Neither she nor her twelve-person crew is ever heard from again. By 8235, the remaining seven Explorers are are commissioned. Lord Saltonstall managed to find crews for six of them but at the cost of mass resignations. The Night Horse, last of the Explorer class, sat in reserve as her sister-ships served well enough despite ill luck and misfortune. The Office of Ship Construction quietly issues notice that no more semi-automated ships are to be built and that all active Semi-automated ships are to be quietly retired and broken up for scrap over the next ten years. The Night Horse, sitting in reserve, is missed due to bureaucratic oversight. In 8250 Lord Ayland Wynstryngham the Eighth assumes the office of Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps. His first act is to issue notice that no ship is to be without crew nor sit in dock or reserve for longer then required for maintenance and upkeep. The Night Horse, all but forgotten, is quietly brought back into active service. Recruiting a crew for her proves another matter entirely. What poor or desperate fool would willingly sign on to crew, much less command, a cursed ship and spend months or years in deep space? Well, you would, of course. Where else is a kid from the gutters going to find that kind of freedom in the service of His Majesty? A [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] 2021. Warnings: Second person is used in this work. Semi-Polished draft: Posted chapters are subject to revision as needed as things progress. Mild Profanity on occasion.
