(I know this is short, but I think it's best left short and sweet)
Chiaki Nanami walked out of the reserve course building calmly, smiling as she knew she'd be playing Galaga (Her favorite game), soon. Heck, she even had a hairpin for it! She wasn't very good at it, but that didn't matter. Talent didn't matter, right? The beautiful sunset overtook her senses as she walked to the fountain. Then, she gamed so hard she had to stand up! This level was too hard! But then, she heard a voice. The voice of Hajime Hinata, but of course she didn't know the name nor the significance of the name at the time. "Hey, is that Galaga? I love that game! Isn't it an classic?" Hajime asked. "U-um...yes, I think? Playing through 5 times is my limit." Chiaki replied. "Really?" Hajime asked. "Yeah." Chiaki smiled. "Once I played through 10 times." Hajime shared. "Wow...that's impressive!" Chiaki gaped. "I'm just excited someone can play video games as much as a scrub like me. I'm happy and all, but I don't see how I got into Hopes Peak for playing video games because I have nothing worthwhile to do." Hajime smiled bitterly. "Don't say that. It doesn't make a difference if you're talented or not." Chiaki insisted. "Huh?" Hajime stared at her. "I mean, that's not the goal, right?" Chiaki explained. "But..." Hajime would've retaliated, but he didn't have the energy. "You have a talent that doesn't bind you to something, so you have greater freedom then them, like me and the reserve course." Chiaki interrupted. Hajime's eyes widened. "Can you show me what you can do some time?" Chiaki asked.

Omnicrafter (A Crafting Adventure LitRPG)
Countless twenty-something-year-olds around the world wish every day for a chance to go back in time to start practicing their passions sooner in life. Tabitha is one such woman. With all of her youth spent playing online games where crafting was as simple as gathering materials and clicking a "craft" button to put them together, she never gained any actual experience in making things. Every attempt to create something in the real world is met with disaster. Her heart yearns for being the master crafter of her virtual youth, but she's the type who burns water when trying to cook. That changes when she wakes up and finds herself in a game-like fantasy world where crafting comes as naturally to her as breathing. She still has to put in the hard work of crafting herself, but the system helps her out to make what was once impossible for her possible. She gets all the fun of making things and flexing her creative spirit while not needing any years of training nor study to build her skill up! While she might not have any idea how she got to this strange world, she does know that she's not going to waste her chance and is going to make the most out of this new opportunity to craft everything! An "Omnicrafter" was what they called people in the MMORPGs she played who maxed out every single crafting class, and that is exactly what Tabitha plans on doing with her new life! The crafting side of this series is heavily inspired by games like the Atelier series and the critically-acclaimed Final Fantasy XIV (which has a free trial, you know!)*. If there's a problem, it can be solved by crafting. Also, in case the title and synopsis didn't make it obvious enough, this series is going to focus on crafting all the things. Wooden spears and protective cuirasses? You got it! Healing tonics and farming equipment? Sure! Elaborate cupcakes and customizable fantasy golems? Darn straight! Weapons with a broken amount of different buffs applied to them due to the crafting process and materials used? You know it! The most amazing fishing rod to ever exist? Well, obviously. Fishing is the true endgame only after crafting, after all! So, if you like alchemy, blacksmithing, carpentry, cooking, leatherworking, tailoring, engineering, rune forging, magical enchanting, or basically any other type of crafting found in RPGs, come check the story out! An omnicrafter doesn't just focus on one specific type of crafting. A true omnicrafter is the best at all types of crafting! *This is a meme, I'm not sponsored by FFXIV, please don't hate me.

B's Grand Adventure
It has been two hundred years since the first contact with aliens from the planet Proxima Centauri. It has been about one hundred and ninety-eight since the Centurians and humans accidentally connected their computer systems together. That same year Centurian virus took over almost all of humanity's computers. This was right about the time a huge solar flare knocked out all communication on Earth. Some time between then and now secrets were revealed, like secret societies, where the nukes were being hidden, and, most importantly, that there were Fae, magic beings, living among humanity all this time. The Proxima Centurians eventually came to the now weakened Earth to 'check on' humanity about fifty years ago. Some say they are here to colonize what's left of the city-states and raiders alike. But now we focus on a young man who has earned the ire of a Centurian colony and a powerful half-Fae named Jormungrand. This young man has chosen the name for himself as B.
