《B1nary Bl00d》Chapter 7
Advertisement
Well... right off the bat I've got a problem. Outside of the pod is a vacuum, and not the kind used to clean floors. I look around and see a red button with the words OPEN DOOR written under it. Now I have to think of a way to open the door, and not die from being sucked out at (literal) break-neck speeds.
Alright, I've come up with an idea. I strap myself back into the chair, then use a small strand of my nanites to push the button.
AAAAAHHHHHH!!!! is all I can think. I think I shattered my left arm. My plan failed horribly. Instead of my seat holding me in place, it just flew out with me. Although I guess a shattered arm is better than failing the mission and dying. looking at my arm, I use the nanites to lock it in the L position. I also lock my shoulder in place. I wonder if constitution would help it heal? I guess I should have maxed it out before I opened the door.
I adjust my nanite distribution and max out constitution. Once I do that, the pain in my arm greatly diminishes. Now that I am no longer in excruciating pain, I look around at my surroundings.
I look up and what I see surprises me. The outer shell is nearly five-hundred feet up. And there are machines all throughout the place. The whole place has an almost abandoned look. Everything is white or unpainted. It barely looks like there has ever been life here, which makes sense, after all. It is an automated station.
I am surprised there aren't any security or repair bots though. I did punch a big hole in their station after all. I should probably get going in case security is on its way.

I start walking away, looking to see if there are any important looking machines. I walk for a few hours, but don't see anything important looking. Then suddenly I hear a voice announcing,
"ATTENTION PERSONEL, OUTER HULL BREACH SEALED."
Well, that's good. I think. I dismantle my vacuum suit. I leave it on my left arm though, to act as a splint. I don't want to risk making it worse.
I give up on finding something important looking. I'm just going to start breaking things at random. I move my building nanites among the machinery and try to pry them apart, but that doesn't really work. Then I have an epiphany. I try directing my nanites consume the machinery. And it works! My nanites start to consume the machines. Then I get an even better message.
Nanites have reproduced nanite count: 51/50
This is great! This greatly increases my destructive capabilities. This should make this far easier. I have my nanites keep eating the machines until there are double the amount as before. I want to make a hole in the floor, but need to make another vacuum suit. I do this then keep making more nanites until I get this message.
Max nanite count reached. For more nanites become smarter.
Then I remember I allocated all of my nanites to constitution. Ah the feeling of getting smarter, how awesome it is. I have the nanites keep eating the machines until I hit max again, but by now I'm tired, so I inflate my air mattress and go to sleep.
I wake up and after an hour of trying, get the airbed back in its stupid little container. I check my building nanite number and see it's at 317/50. Now to open a hole in the floor. As a precaution, I make a cocoon of nanites to hold me to a machine. I don't want to get sucked out should it prove to open to a vacuum. I have the nanites make the hole, then, to my horror, I'm sucked out too.

Frameshift
Magic. Math. Not a whole lot of context. Two months ago, I was a wormhole navigator, ripping open a hole in the universe to save a ship of people who only vaguely tolerated me. Two weeks ago, long story short, I threaded an impossible path through the void between dimensions to crash-land into a dungeon. You know the kind: monsters to defeat, corridors full of traps to avoid, and magical powers to earn. I'm not ashamed to admit that it's been two weeks of loneliness, fear, adrenaline, and constant injury. But I'll make it out of here by myself if I have to, or my name isn't Adam Leviathan James. ... too bad the Levi doesn't stand for Leviathan, huh. AN: Expectations should include in medias res, violence, smut, friendship, and powers/progression systems with absolutely an insufficiency of context and (at least at first) no definitions or explanations, and magic-as-programming/engineering (with something of an emphasis on "what if magical runework were an analogue to circuit diagrams"). This story used to be called "Yet Another Godsforsaken Isekai". Discord server: https://discord.gg/dHh3XMMB4T Cover by the amazing Daedalus of The Way Ahead.

The Mermaid's Shoal
Elfyn O Se has lived by the laws of the sea his whole life. He'd go by Elf to his friends if he had any left, but at least his crew are willing to work with him, and it's not because he accidently cursed them all. Yet, maybe he can pull them together for one last job that might ease the fury of the tyrannical mermaid he wronged so long ago. He might have a chance to break the binds for himself and his crew, if he can pull it off. There's just one problem; a rival mermaid called Anwen. As mysterious as she is terrifying - and adamant that Elf can't win - she offers an alternative to break the curse if the crew can help her get home. The crew of the Ossory now finds themselves caught in an odyssey brimming with magic and monsters. Battling against champions of terrible adversaries, mysterious lights from the deep, and kleptomatic selkies who deal in blood, Elf is faced with a choice. Will he risk the future of his world to save his crews' souls, or condemn them all to protect the archipelago from certain calamity?
