《Magai Story: The First Encounter》I Did Not Authorize That
Advertisement
I heard familiar voices murmuring outside my hospital room.
I was on Earth again and whether or not I had been hallucination the whole time was still in question.
No one came in to visit me in the day I spent in there. My parents stayed outside the whole time and they probably kept my friends out. They didn't tell me what happened to me when I was discharged, and strangely, neither did the doctor or the nurses.
My parents didn't let me go to school that week.
-----
Stacey was having another party because apparently I ruined the last one. She explained that I had a seizure and an ambulance arrived at her house before anyone even called. I'm guessing that if I haven't been imagining all this the whole time, the Oblivion Effect did that.
You would think that my parents wouldn't leave me alone like this, I thought, I mean, really. I just got shot at and sent to the hospital for a seizure in the same week. They're supposed to be protecting me or whatever.
That was probably a mix of their indifference and the Effect.
I went to her house and everyone was there already, but something was off. I could feel a strange energy surrounding me. I sat through Stacey's lunch in a trance, and no one really talked about it. Sabine, Marco, Daniela, Jozeey, and Grady were there. Even Dania didn't notice.
"Something's happening," I blurted through the excitement. I could feel a strange swirling of powers around me as I said it.
"What? To you?" Dania's eyes widened, "Are you okay?"
"Do we need to call an ambulance?" Daniela pulled out her phone.
"Again?" Stacey said at the same time as Marco.
"No, not to me," I whispered. The energies pushed back on me, "Well, yes to me but not like that."

"What?" Grady asked.
"I don't know. If I tell you then you won't believe me,"
"Well, tell us and you'll know!" Dania exclaimed.
"I went to another planet. While I had the seizures."
"Probably because you were having the seizures," Marco gave me a side eye.
"Well, I know because I got superpowers from it!"
That drew their attention.
"Prove it," he demanded, crossing his arms.
"I don't know if I can," I replied, defeated.
"Try," Dania encouraged.
"You won't be able to see it anyways!"
"Do it!" Marco pressed.
"You heard what I said! You can't see my proof because your mind chooses not to!" I replied.
"Well, then force me to see it! Do it!" he said, "Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!" he chanted.
Something deep down inside me began to stir. I closed my eyes. Before I could stop myself I knocked everything off the table with my mind.
All of the plates were on the floor, and I was lucky most of us were finished eating. I was also lucky Stacey's parents were on the other side of the house and didn't see the mess.
"Cleanup!" Grady exclaimed as she got up.
I beat her to it and lifted everything in one scoop, placing it all on the table. It was messy, but at least it was all in one place now.
The energies had ceased their pressure on me, but they were still there. I could feel them desperately pushing on my friends in their attempt to modify their memories.
For the first time since I felt them, I pushed back at them. I could feel blood rushing to my face. Then, in one sudden motion, I could almost see my friends absorbing the energy that was assaulting them.

"Holy shit," Marco's eyes went wide open.
"That was intense," Daniela moved her bangs away from her face so she could look at me clearly.
"Did you just do to us what I think you did?" Sabine's jaw hung and she was still breathing hard.
"I think Carlos just gave us superpowers," Diana's voice trailed.
"Unlikely," Stacey was always the skeptical one, "I don't know what all that was, but you're not invited to any more of my parties. That was rude."
"Just you wait," I grinned, "If I'm right you owe me twenty dollars."
"Ha!" she laughed shrilly, "Get a life."

Dungeon Core Chat Room.
This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building. Rank 1 description: (minimum met for system initialization...detailed description as follows) Each race was given a system by the gods to make up for their shortcomings and balance their place in this world. Humans: Abysmally bad at understanding and using magic unable to use more than the lowest of magic were given the "Skill System" magic in the form of premade skills with use, study, and mastery tied to experience. Elves: Intuitively understand magic and have long lives leading to vast knowledge and skill in their chosen fields. However, as a species, they have nearly zero sex drive and less than low fertility, so they were gifted the "World Tree System" with experience gained through the care of natural areas – gifting the chance of children to increase their numbers without dirty copulation. All “natural” or “wild” monsters are given an "Evolution system" designed around killing and consuming as many creatures as possible, slowly increasing strength and, at thresholds, allowing mutations to alter them multiple times. Dungeon cores are different. Unlike humans, they can see, manipulate and live off mana. Unlike Elves, they naturally crystallize after extended periods of time in high mana level areas. However, they cannot easily move or communicate and typically go insane without companionship. As a species other than the odd eccentric they are unimaginative. Brute forcing solutions without the drive to truly innovate. Thus they have been gifted with the "Dungeon Connection System" a magical version of the internet accessible by their peers that allows them to barter and sell: bait, traps, monsters, and knowledge, as well as entertain each other with “adventure streams” using exciting recorded battles and humorous reels of arrogant chumps biting off more than they can chew to often fatal effects. This is the casual story of a dungeon unluckily spawned far from potential adventurers forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in this world. Rank 2 Description: Justification. I've been on a dungeon core kick for months and while I love the genre – it's sparse with entries. Often the forced conflict gets repetitive and frantic solving of threats "power levels" the protagonist to god levels to progress the plot – taking away the nice steady progression fantasy I'm looking for. (Progression in this story is linked to how strong of monsters/traps/whatever he can create not his "level"...this is demonstrated by some of his newer monsters beating his older monsters not with discrete "this monster has 10 attack this one has 40") Additionally, the focus on 3rd parties with their drama takes away from the reason I’m reading dungeon core novels in the first place – I'm looking for magical crafting, experimentation and kingdom building – not defence from higher and higher levelled enemies looking to steal/destroy/control the MC. This novel is kind of just me writing the story I wish I could read. I like thinking about the experimentation that can be done in fantasy settings using 'mana' as an excuse to make up rules and try to keep them internally consistent. IE once I define how a rule works, I'm going to commit to keeping it – no breaking hard truths I've given when it's convenient, even if it backs me into a corner. Hopefully, that should make the story interesting to read even if it's SOL and less action-oriented. There will be problems to solve and a clear progression in strength (of created monsters and knowledge) however due to not wanting to force conflict for the sake of conflict the general theme will be closer to slice of life with few action sequences and no overarching goal so please keep that in mind when picking this up as the genre is not for everyone. Finally, I have a clear goal of what I want from this story (not an endless romp but a series of arcs and then a conclusion that's a couple of dozen medium-sized chapters long) I want to commit to finishing it or at least bringing it to a point of rest. I hate all the engaging stories that stop with a “hiatus” indefinitely so in the event I lose motivation I'll work to end this even if the ending becomes rushed/unsatisfying just to give a sense of closure. I’m planning on including several polls in terms of direction and taking feedback heavily into account if I get enough readers (but may choose to ignore it if it deviates too far from the direction I want to take this as in feedback like: “The MC needs a cartoonishly evil arch-enemy that wants to enslave him and force the mc to pump out magic items” or “the MC needs to make a body and learn teleportation then live with humans” will get shot down without consideration.)

Keys of the Endpoint
Keys of the Endpoint is an illustrated web serial about the re-birth of civilization in a fantastical world suffering from a recent apocalyptic event. Every day, people appear from the storms that ravage the Endpoint. Whisked away from their own time and place by storms in their homelands, these newcomers find themselves in a hostile place made up of ruins and people from every timeline imaginable. Stranger still, they all soon discover they're carrying silver keys that grant each holder incredible powers. On Earth, most people have mundane excuses for the disappearances, but not Isaac. Having lost his brother Finn to one of these storms, Isaac becomes obsessed with finding a pattern. Not to prevent more people disappearing, but rather to get taken by the storms himself in order to find his brother. While chasing Finn’s faint trail, Isaac soon discovers how little he really knew about himself, his brother and how much loss one person can take. In Keys of the Endpoint there's portal fantasy, personal drama, magic (useable by everyone), plenty of combat, power progression, mysteries, factions, feuds and eventually war (in that order). The magic system is well defined and modular with nigh infinite combinations. The story starts out with one of the two main characters looking for his lost brother but quickly expands in scope from that point on.
