《Unlucky》Prologue
Advertisement
The System was already displaying the planned integration of planet X5117 on the cockpit glass as the ship crept towards its target. “You mean even when we are this close to their tiny planet, these lifeforms still can’t detect our ship?” Junior Administrator asked System Leader.
“These humans only have a written history dating back 6000 years, so the likelihood of them detecting us through our cloaking field is exactly zero” System Leader said, somehow managing to suppress the sigh building in his throat. As System Leader, he was tasked with training Junior Administrator on the proper assimilation of new planets. He had initially been pleasantly surprised when the young noblesse hadn’t just been another rich brat, but after months of dealing with the incessant questions and unrelenting gusto that Junior Administrator held towards this assignment, System Leader was beginning to wish he was stuck with just another entitled trainee.
This would be the 100th assimilation that System Leader had overseen, and hopefully, it would be the last. He never would have thought he would have risen so high in the ranks of the Hive, usually, his position was reserved for those of higher social standing. But his brutality and heartlessness had led to the creation of some of the best harvesting planets that the System had ever produced. System Leader’s stray thoughts were interrupted by the System prompt on the front glass.
[All zones properly designated. One anomaly detected, Displaying report now.]
The screen brought up the world map, and then zoomed in on one of the Noob zones, a bright red dot in a field of green showed the anomaly. Ideally, the Hive wanted to harvest as many citizens as possible with the assimilation of each new planet. Since assimilants could no longer reproduce once the System had been fully uploaded, each assimilant was seen as a future harvest, and most System Leaders would make concessions to maximize harvest output. System Leader flared the tentacles around his mouth in annoyance–he was ready to be done assimilating new planets, and he didn’t care or have time to deal with every anomaly that would come up.

It was with his characteristic resolve that System Leader directed the System to handle the anomaly. “It’s unfortunate that that human happened to be in a predetermined monster zone–this choice will cost me a harvest, but it will mean I can be done with this mission that much faster. Besides, it will be quite entertaining to see how this planet will handle killing one of their own in the name of growth,” System Leader thought to himself.

High School DEATH GAMES
"'Why,' a woman asked me, 'would they show a movie with things I do not want to see?' She is not unusual. Most people choose movies that provide exactly what they expect, and tell them things they already know. Others are more curious. We are put on this planet only once, and to limit ourselves to the familiar is a crime against our minds." - From the Great Roger Ebert Be forewarned, this story is not for everyone. It's not even for some people. This is for just a select few who get wet from misery and excited by suffering. This is no level up, power up, let's kill monsters, op mc, fantasy land, standard litrpg garbage you find in basically every other story on this site. If the rest of RoyalRoad is shounen (which it is), then this is Gantz/Berserk. Sorry. I lied. This is darker than Berserk and bloodier than Gantz. Not a manga fan? Then how about Korean cinema? Have you heard of Kim Ki-duk? His works The Isle, Moebius, and Pieta all come to mind. Again, this is not for normal people. There's a bunch of other normal stories for normal people to read. The whole rest of the site library is for normal. This is a special section set aside for a special type of story meant for a special kind of people. If you follow or favorite this, you're telling the whole world that you're a little different. A bit twisted. I guess you could call it the BDSM of reading. Which segues perfectly into the introduction. Are you kinky? Are you familiar with the taboo? Have you ever thought about the depths of human depravity? What I'm trying to ask is, do you like fucked up shit? Do you like massacres and public shamings? Do you like watching people fall into despair, going insane, or turning into psychopaths? Do you get turned on when love is destroyed and hedonism reigns king? Well, I've got the perfect story for you! If you're uncomfortable with profanity, gore, sexual and traumatising content, then I recommend you move on. I won't judge you just cause you're a pussy. And I'm not talking about the fake labels of the other candy ass stories on this site who think their shit is morbid or even remotely disturbing, I'm talking about the shocking, offensive, real fucked up shit that you can't even use incognito mode for and you gotta install Tor browser. (You don't actually need to install Tor, you idiot.) If you love that shit or even if you're just curious, then read on. I swear it's not as bad as you think it'll be. It's much worse. - Signed with no love, Marley (written by a friend in the voice of Marley) Unapologetic, cynical, pretentious, pessimistic, hypocritical, selfish, sarcastic, passive, apathetic asshole main character named Marley. Alternate POV: Badass, intelligent, proactive, loving, nice, friendly, optimistic co-main character Sophia. This is essentially a rough draft. Grammar and spelling has been read through and fixed for the most part. If you don't like something, tell me why you don't like it. Don't just rate it low anonymously. Thanks.
8 208Crimson Astral Cascade
Summary: A vampire-astronaut from a futuristic super-reality, is reborn into a post-apocalyptic fantasy world, and now must make a living for himself and his family as a summonable spirit of the void. The ‘chosen’ son of a vast, multiversal, empire is exiled for the sake of political expediency. Honestly, they might have been trying to execute him, rather than just sending him away, but as it turned out, he survived. He fell into the grand nebula, the sewage line, and the plumbing system for the cosmos. Then he was within the base layer of the collective of mostly-destroyed universes known as the core worlds of Tesson. Now for the sake of his new family and new life, he will have to do his best as a “heroic” Astral, traveling between the myriad fractal-worlds of Tesson that still reside outside of the nebula as means of making a living. TLDR: Who hasn’t played a gacha game by now. But have you ever wondered about what kind of life those characters you’re trying to win have lived and are living? Posted only Scribblehub and Royal Road Confirmation Sequence: 2, 4, 16, 32, 64, 128…Tasty Cool.
