《System 1: LOL System》Week 1
Advertisement
Day 1:
I felt wet as I woke up, my face and and the front side of my body was completely wet. I sat up and looked around finding myself in a forest of sort. The only difference between a normal forest and this forest was how huge the trees were and the myriad number of colours on their bark.
They looked like they were holding up the sky and been here since time immemorial. I can't be sure but I felt as if I could see further, and the colours were more vivid. The sounds were clearer and smells acute.
I looked at my hands and body only to realise that I wasn't wearing my original shirt and pant but an entirely different set of clothing. It was a full body armor, fully black in colour and after a couple of experiments, without any way to remove. (https://www.artstation.com/artwork/vRe5x the third image but full black and with out any padding)
"System" I called out, having a bajillion questions in my head.
" yes host?" the system replied
"what my i wearing?"
" that is a gift from the system to help you survive"
" I thought I would get no such thing"
" and so did the people of czechoslovakia believe Hitler won't attack them but it happened, that's life"
Though I was speechless at that reply I knew it would be good thing to have it.
" What does this thing do?" I ask while looking at my body "and can I take it off?"
"no you can't, it is a extention of your body. Sort of like an exoskeleton armor but it will help you keeping your body in check and provide support"
"ummm, care to give an example?"
" okay, so if your hands get cut off and you lose HP, when you are healing (via life steal) and regenerating, the armor will help you."

"and how do I excrete?"
" you can open certain region in your armor"
"that works too" I replied while standing up and habitually pat my butt to clean it. I look around to admiring the trees around me, 'I don't think I would ever be not in awe of them' I think to myself.
"system open menu" I call out while checking every inch of the suit,
Status
Shop
Inventory
I think of opening my status and feel like dying. Again.

"system, why is my attack speed so slow? I can hit faster you know" I ask the system with total confusion on my face
"You are bound to the system as the system is bound to you. You can only move and attack in accordance to your stats"
I felt the urge to shoving one of those huge trees up the systems' ass but had a gut feeling I couldn't change it anyway. Trying to push this issue and my anger to the back of my mind I think of opening the shop,
In game shop
World shop
I open the in game shop, and find all sorts of items the same they were in League of Legends.
There were 5 sub categories in there with my current gold being displayed on the the bottom right corner.
Tools - Includes consumables and trinkets
Defense - includes items that grant statistics such as health, armor or magic resistance.
Attack - includes items that grant statistics such as attack damage (physical damage) , attack speed or critical strike chance.

Magic - includes items that grant statistics such as ability power (magic damage).
Movement - includes items that grant enhanced movement speed.
Gold(Gd): 1000
I realised something was off as I remember there being more items in the actual shop, and they had different prices.
"System why are there only finished items and not their components"I ask knowing this wasn't good for me.
" Host in the game where you can buy smaller components to make something better, in here you can't do that and all the items will be worth 5000 gold for finished items that boost you stats, 500 for all shoes and 50 for all consumables and trinkets."
I felt a vein popping on my forehead, and after calming my self a bit. I decide to skip the world shop fearing a total mental collapse and move to the inventory.
I see 6 boxes. ONLY six boxes.
" hey system, why are there only six boxes? Didn't I ask for an inventory with infinite space?" I ask with my voice trembling in rage while I clench my teeth.
"this is the inventory for the purchases you make in the in game shop."
"and what about a normal storage space? And why only six, will it always remain 6" I ask almost at the verge of cursing at the God and this system.
"host that is in your item and no it will increase as you level up."
That's when it clicked me I asked for a building that has everything form a alchemy space to a monster breeding space but have overlooked it cause I was too engrossed with the system.
"where is the item system? " I ask half in anticipation and half in nervousness due to obvious history of system letting me down.
"in your armor"
"nani?"
"host the building is in your armor, you Still can't fully understand what this armor can do but for now focus right shoulder"
I do as asked and feel something in shape of a cube in my shoulder. I instinctively touch my right shoulder but find out there is no such shape on there.
"Now try to think of pulling it out of the shoulder"the system asks me in a flat voice.
I think of pulling the cube out of my shoulder and all of a sudden a simple 2 story build pops up in front of me. It was divided into 2 exact and vertical halves. Both side had a door, one on the extreme left side and another on the extreme right side there were no windows. And after going around the building twice I figure out there were no openings at all.
Before I could ask or say anything the system said in its usual flat tone " host enter the building"
I knew for a fact that it couldn't get worse than this, so I took a deep breath and stepped inside the right door.
I looked at the building and left that the all black colour was not the worst choice and oddly never asked why the edges of the cube like building where so sharp.
I open the wood/metal door and hear a cheerful and coordinated shout.
"welcome master"

Cultivating Earth [Hiatus]
[This fiction is on indefinite hiatus. I'm currently acting as a 24-hour caregiver for my step-father who had a massive heart attack. I apologize for disappearing so quickly, but sometimes that's just life. I'll return as soon as possible. Sorry everyone!] Zhao Gang, after hundreds of thousands of years cultivating, has finally reached the penultimate threshold. He is ready to ascend to the level of True Immortal. Driven by the need for a place his enemies won't find him, Zhao Gang puts together an audacious plan. He has developed a revolutionary new formation which will allow him to ascend while on even the lowest planes. To avoid drawing attention, he has to choose a plane that is relatively desolate, however. He chooses Earth. Fast forward three thousand years. Zhao Gang discovers what his work has wrought - a cultivation-free culture that has delved the deep mysteries of creation - he can't help but think how this tiny little planet devoid of natural energy could affect the course of all creation. There's only one problem. For that to happen, he has to succeed in cultivating Earth. Notes: Chinese names should be ignored in the social context - they don't mean anything. Sorry for slaughtering such a beautiful tradition. This novel starts off slower than most. If the slow-roll isn't your thing, you might want to give this a pass. If it's not for you, I understand. Also, releases may be broken up into smaller chunks. The goal is 5k words, but definitely more than 4k. If you see a short release, be aware that more is probably coming. I'll be honest and say that I'm struggling with each new scene, if only because I want to balance the scope of vision with good pacing. I hope the work I put into it is worthwhile.

8 184I'm Always Talking to Myself
My name is Zach. I’m a typical bland featureless protagonist type. The kind of guy who has purposefully few defining characteristics so that people can project whatever they want on me. Like Luke from Star Wars or what’s her name from Twilight. Most main characters are like me. Kind of flavorless blank slates because we all secretly doubt that we’re Harrison Ford, but pretty much anyone could be Mitt Romney. Yep. Yes indeed, I do spend basically my entire life running an internal dialog to no one. Usually I’m imagining that there are people listening. Like maybe philosophers from Ancient Greece, or researchers from another planet who act suspiciously like the characters from that Instagram comic with the aliens. Stupid Instagram comedians stealing my internal monologue and turning into a wildly successful enterprise which I would imagine has a vibrant merch dropshipping arm and hundreds of thousands of daily dopamine hits for loyal followers. I basically spend all of my time explaining random things to imaginary people (and aliens, and animals, and household items which have inexplicably gained sentience and frankly have some concerns about this whole existence thing). Honestly, it’s both highly entertaining to me, in that it makes me think about why we humans do all of the bizarre things that we do, but also horrifically exhausting and kind of makes you feel like you’re either, worst cast, losing your grip on reality, or best case, becoming Abed from Community. Anyway, I’m sure that I have some distinguishing characteristics, but, in the interest of hypnotic suggestion I’m choosing to omit them until I’m pretty sure that you have subconsciously come to identify with me, or until I feel like it. (By the way, in case I forgot to mention it, a higher power called Aww Thor or something told me to say that this is a slice-of-life comedy adventure and that it's set in a fantasy world with isekai and LitRPG elements.)
