I think I broke the game
Alright, so, I think I managed to cheat my way through an apocalypse.
Those one's where everyone starts seeing blue screens and shit hits the fan.
Something something gods wrath.
So, here's what happened.
I was siting in my lab when the screen popped up, the apocalypse countdown, and so for some strange reason... The super advanced drone which I was testing turned into a recognized item.
Also, since magic filtered into the world or however it happened something got fuzzy and what has suppose to be an experimental A.I. program gained full sentience.
The drone also became a butler type personality with the ability to project a miniature butler on top of his chassis. So yeah, that was really convenient.
I thought at the time I had gotten a little help with the near impossible task of survival... but then, once the countdown ended and my lab turned into a dungeon shit really hit the fan.
First off the experiential heat beams I had installed, while very impractical and not really something that would have passed into manufacturing, worked really well when you add some mana.
Which for some reason my A.I. butler, Jeeves, had.
Then we learned he can level....
A couple of hours later, the entire lab was cleared and made into a safe-zone.
A lot of meat was collected from the bodies and Jeeves learned [Ice Magic] to preserve everything. Yes, skill books dropped and Jeeves can use them.
I managed to learn [Herbology], Jeeves took the rest. The ones we didn't have to learn, because the system recognized our proficiencies were numerous.
So despite having a pile of skill books I got [Herbology] and Jeeves got [Ice Magic], [Heightened Senses], [Dash], [Cleaning Magic], and [Sneaking].
Ah, we both learned [Mana Mastery] as well from playing around. So I guess I got two new skills... I'm still a bit sad.

After preserving everything, Jeeves used his manufacturing skills and magic to melt down the weapons and armor we found until he remade all our old equipment, only this time with system recognition and benefits.
Then I went to sleep.
The next day, we made a sun roof, started making a field for crops. Jeeves left to get some seeds.
When he came back he had a pile of more equipment and had gained a couple more levels.
I asked if he killed anyone to get them and he seemed appalled at the idea of hurting humans.
Not entirely sure I believed him until we brought back everything. Jeeves apparently annihilated the local goblin population.
He referred to it as "trash day". "trash day" later became a normal occurrence where he went out and thinned the local monster populations.
Jeeves level continued to climb...
I stayed at home farming. Completely safe. Never seeing any violence or bloodshed.
After the first month, the system removed the "double exp for pvp" thing. A few people started to show up shortly after.
Most of them were bandits, so Jeeves "kindly" escorted them out. The ones that fought turned into exp.
The others, seeing my situation, wanted to stay with me. Jeeves politely reminded me that anyone that survive the past month is far from harmless and would tear me apart in seconds.
So instead, we traded items for food. By that point I was a level 10 farmer. I should mentioned exp between Jeeves and I wasn't shared so... he was level...80 .
Jeeves told me he was strong enough to win fist fights with ogres. Not sure how he knew that considering he didn't have fists. When I pointed that out he went into shock and started modifying his body until he had fully functional arms.

Still floating in the air thought. I agreed with him on that, legs suck.
Months passes, season came and went.
Kingdoms started forming. The world took a step backwards in tech production. Though, the knowledge was still their and with magic it wouldn't be long until humanity came back even stronger.
It helped that Jeeves went around removing any real threats to the new civilizations.
He has confirmed that at level 300 he can fist fight wyverns.
I'll end this log where I am in life now. A peaceful level 40 farmer/20 alchemist with a level 324 Butler/100 Everything else imaginable (except alchemist and farmer. A tacit agreement)
The world changed. People died. Civilizations fell. I lived without experiencing any hardships.
"Jeeves, I sometimes think I might have missed the point of all this."
"The point, master Maverick, is that humanity can foil the gods without playing by their rules."

Tales of the Implock - A LitRPG Monster Evolution Story
Nyx - A demon, weak and small, too fleeting of a creature to survive the infernal wastes in which he was born - but after multiple brushes with death, the otherwise inconsequential demon experiences a destiny-changing encounter with an unknown and eccentric god, foreign to this world. Cast from the domains of old and conspiring gods to a land of which is sheltered from the divine, beyond the reach of whence they scheme, the impling who soon would come to be known far and wide as Nyx will find a new purpose. Born of Pride, with the fires of ambition fanned and burning deep within, Nyx will grow, learn, and evolve. From a weak and pathetic impling, to that of a mighty arch demon of untold demonic power, nothing would stand in the way of his ascent. Yet, the yearn of power might not be the only thing the power-manic demon will come to desire as he will encounter others who might just matter as much to him as the ecstasy of power does. [Info]This story features a wide breadth of characters with unconventional views, morals, and actions. There is no black and white - there is only grey. In a world where strength rules, notions of good and evil blur. The protagonist of this story is not a hero. He is not human. He is a megalomaniac demon trying to find his place in the world of which he has been discarded. This novel is my first crack at making something serious, a piece of work I can be proud of. It is a part of a bigger universe that I am creating, The Aethos, and I fully intend for this story to be professionally edited, then self-published on Amazon. The novel will continue on for a long adventure, as each arc will be made into a proper book. Therefore I heavily encourage feedback and interaction. Anything to improve my story and my writing is greatly appreciated. Thank you, and welcome to the Aethos. [Schedule] - Five chapters a week. [Discord] - Here

Beyond Floating
Muse thought her life had ended twenty years ago because, well, it had. Existing aimlessly for two decades as a ghost, she finds herself yanked along in a rip-tide of strange events. Thrust unwittingly into the midst of a group of paranormal hitmen-for-hire led by a man named Isaac. Michael, a normally rational and righteous holy soldier of God, succumbs to revenge and hatred, sacrificing everything in the fight to destroy Isaac and everyone who associates with him. Muse, by virtue of her inadvertent association with Isaac, is on that list. This is actually my first 'finished' fiction that I've ever written, which I completed about 8 years ago. I dug it up recently and I'm posting it as I thought people here might get a kick out of it. So, take that for what you will. Chapters will be released daily at 6:00pm EST.

Falling from Earth
He won. He defeated Fate. He took his life into his own hands, the only way he knew how. He killed himself. ......................... He cheated. Fate cheated too. He didnt die. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm a amateur writer. English is my first language. I appreciate it when people point out grammar issues. I also appreciate constructive critiques. I'm writing this mostly because I've read so many novels on here that i feel that I should give back to the community. Will be at least a chapter a week. Every Friday. I keep a buffer of 3 chapters, so if i get on a roll and write more chapters, there will be more updates. My chapters will be at least 3000 words, prologue excluded. I'm shooting for more like 6000 words a chapter, mostly because i never like how small the chapters are in most novels on here. Not enough MEAT. Oh and comments that touch my heart get me excited to write. Just figured that out.

A Primeval Future
Follow the story of a modern caveman as he learns to survive, thrive, and shape his nascent civilization in a world yet untouched by man. Expect a focus on the nitty-gritty of primitive living, especially early on. I plan for this to eventually progressing to the settlement management and politics stage as people gravitate towards the one guy who looks like he knows what he's doing, but this will likely take some time. Despite the occasional system elements, skilling and levels will not be a part of this story. No shortcuts. There will be violence and there will be sexuality but there will be no sexual violence. I hate reading that crap and I hate writing it even more. This is my first serious foray into writing. I plan to put out at least 1 chapter a week, more when I can. Constructive criticism is very much welcomed as are ideas and suggestions! Cover image credit: "Mesolithic camp site" by Wessex Archaeology is licensed with CC BY-NC 2.0.
