《End of the World》Chapter 2

"Wh-what are you and where are you?" I ask.
'I am the very first cyborg core in the universe and I am the most powerful core. For where I am, where else would you think, there is only the one entrance to this place.' it says.
After a while, I realize that the walls are smooth other than the runes carved into it. The floor is clear of any trapdoors. So I decided to think about the offer it gave me.
After 5 minutes, I crawled to the pedestal and when I was about to touch it, I floated up enough to see what was on it. There was a smooth, metallic sphere sitting there.
'It looks like you made your decision then?' it asks.
"I have and I will fight for those that can't defend themselves." I tell the core.
'Then get ready for there will be a bit of pain.' it says as it shoots into my chest.
"Wait Wha-" I manage to say before the pain overwhelms my body and I start to writh while floating there. It lasted for 30 minutes but it felt like hours to me. When it was done, I looked down at my body and realized that most of my body has changed. The most shocking change though was that my injuries disappeared during that transition."What the hell was that?!" I shouted.
'That was how I merge into people that I have chosen to be my host. All the others created after me was the base for your militaries cyborg.' it told me.
"Before I forget, what is your name?" I ask.
'Don't have one. It was not needed when I was created, but you could call me sparky.' Sparky said.
"Well then sparky, what can I do now that I am a cyborg" I said.

'Well, first thing is that you're not human anymore. And for your abilities, that depends on your current strength. Give me a minute to see what is available' Sparky said. 'Wait, I'm not human anymore, what does he mean?' I think to myself. 'Might as well figure out what changed then.'
After a minute, Sparky finally said what abilities I have. it was the basics: twin blades, guns(don't know what type of guns) a ship that is repairing itself after a few trillion years, etc.
'Well shall we get a move on?' Sparky asked me.
"Lets go kill some aliens" I say. After getting used to my current body by walking, running, and jogging through the tunnel, I reach the hole that I fell in.
'Well, just jump out. You have the strength for it' Sparky says.
I crouch down to jump then I launch myself through the air. I am surprised that I did jump the distance from the tunnel to the side of the tunnel without collapsing immediatly. As I get myself oriented, I notice that the area has changed. Some of the buildings have bodies on them, the area has little to none aliens patrolling, and there are many ships in the air.
'Well, are you going to attack the ground troops first, or are you going to let them kill everyone?' sparky said.
"Oh, yeah. lets kill those on the ground first then." I said. "Is there a easier way to find people and your enemies?"
"Yes, you call it radar, but this version can detect people and get their info without any trouble." Sparky explained.
"Interesting. How can I pull it up then?" I ask.
"It is already running, look around the corner of your eyesight and it should be there." He explained. When I did look, I noticed that there was something that looked like a radar but with more details. I took a closer look and saw that all of my friends were alright.
"Was there something that you were worried about?" Sparky asks.
"Just my friends." I reply.
"I'll keep an eye out on there location and info for you then." Sparky said.
"Thanks." I reply.

Truck-kun Gets Sacrificed
Driscoll is my own version of a world with a game-like "system" of endless possibilities. MC has his own status, classes, skills, magic, and a living greatswordstaff in a world of monsters, demi-humans of all kinds, and even the supernatural. Sound good? Well, at first for Tru, it was a dream come true(I'm sorry). At least until reality hits him again and again. His quest from God is vague and must be discovered by him along the way. Hopefully, he can figure that out someday but for now, this new world's threats and his potential for power are motivation aplenty. With His new partner by his side, he's ready to embark on his mission of infinite sacrifice, however many lives it takes. The setting is pretty standard for fantasy, with my beginner attempts at writing. Litrpg elements are definitely involved here but It'll calm down as the story progresses and the world's foundation is laid. Judeo/Christian themes and principles take a major role and will be a backbone for much of the story. The fights will paint a picture in the mind rather than just be a bunch of number crunching. While he is meant to be a sacrifice to save all of Driscoll, he needs to gain enough power and influence to be a worthwhile sacrifice, or so he thinks. And so carnage will ensue as he avoids death as best he can while at the same time sacking himself for others. Truck Coon is your average determined, jiu-jitsu practitioner, tax associate that just started his new career. He dies to save kids from a semi-truck(Truck Coon got truck-kun'd, making him Truck-kun) and is transported to another world rather conventionally by God. Upon his arrival, he is quickly confronted with his first conflicts in the wild. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. Chapters are currently between 2300 and 4000 words and I try to post weekly, but also deal with severe limitations that cause late posts often. I have zero actual experience with writing stories and only recently started reading web novels in 2020. If you end up hating it, let me know your thoughts in a detailed comment or review, especially if you love it though :D I want to get better and welcome the feedback, so expect changes to be made with any flaws that y'all point out which I don't already have plans to address in future chapters. That being said, keep it constructive in nature, please. I have no Idea how the formatting and such will go, so if you like or dislike some techniques I try, give me that well-appreciated feedback! Thank you for reading.

"Serve me and be rewarded.Do good and be blessed." These are the two core teachings the god ruler of the empire raises every child raised under. But how honest are her words really? Vermith and his now wife Yonnera spent their young days traveling the country as heroes and mercenaries for hire. With the decision to tie the knot also came the financial burden of settling down. Luckily for them, a massive military operation to a different country had just been commissioned by the empress, one that promised to pay out big for all who joined. The couple joined their last mission, looking forwards to the future they would spend together. But that future turned dark as the light of their god enveloped all who had pledged themselves to their cause. When Vermith awoke, he found him and his wife stripped of their freedom, their engagement rings ripped away and replaced with two dark collars around their necks to serve as reminders for the terrible curse that was thrust upon them. Full of vengeance, the man returned to the empire that had cast him out, determined to earn his wife's freedom and procure her a cure. That was 10 years ago.[winner in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
