I sighed a deep breath as she stared at me with big blue eyes. I pushed her to the side and walked up to the structure referred to as a guild building. It was a quaint little place with a stony exterior and several decorative flags dotted along its roof. In the front, several apparent adventurers were chatting. I briskly walked past them, not bothering to slow down when they saw me.
"Is that an elf?" I heard one of the adventures say.
"No, they have pointy ears. He must be a half-elf!" Another commented. I didn't bother to listen any further as I stepped inside the building. It had become evident that the denizens of this world did not have familiarity with anyone of Aqueenian origin, much less a mix.
"Wait for me!" my undesired traveling companion shouted to me as she chased me into the guildhall.
She ran in front of me as if to stop me and pushed some orange hair around one of her ridiculously pointed ears.
As I stared at her, I couldn't help but wonder where the confusion was between how I and this so-called forest elf looked similar.
"Please, Mina, I told you already. I'm going to see if this adventuring guild has any information on my homeworld," I calmly explained to the elf woman. She just frowned at me and shook her head.
"And I told you, the only place that could have information like that is the Grand Library!"
"You also told me that was a legend...."
"People coming from other worlds is a legend as well, yet here you are in all your strangeness."
I sighed. There was no getting anywhere with this elf girl.
"What do you suggest I do then?"
"Let's put a party together and go on an adventure!" she gleefully replied.

I groaned.
"And what does a party entail?"
Mina pressed a finger to her chin.
"Well, we will probably want about two other members to accompany us. A healer, and maybe a mage to round out the group since you seem like a melee fighter with your strange ability and metal arm."
"It's called-" I began to speak but was interrupted.
"I think I see a dwarf and an orc in could fit the bill. Oh, and there is a rather intimidating sorceress over there! Oh, maybe we shouldn't stop at four. Maybe six! Or even seven!" the elf girl began to scout other adventures in the guildhall. I would have to put a stop to this soon, or we would bring all 20 or so people here with us by the time she was done.

What if you can build a town that moves faster than the speed of light? Silas Creedy, a retired Olympic Fencer in his late twenties, has befallen hard times in a crashing economy caused by dwindling rare minerals on Earth and Helium-3 on the lunar surface. He works as a manual laborer for the Space Force, accepting a measly pay while maintaining a strong physique. On Monday morning, Silas receives a notice of termination, but General Grant Freeman makes a dangerous offer: explore a distant star system in a top-secret electrogravitic spaceship while wearing a prototype exosuit that augments reality into a role-playing game. The objectives? Locate a source of Helium-3. Plain and uncomplicated. Silas accepts, but on an Earth-like planet he comes across a seemingly unmanned crashed spaceship that has a remarkably similar aesthetic to his exosuit. As local Fauna attack him, the crashed ship’s AI hijacks his suit’s programming, fends off the the locals, and repairs itself by fusing with Silas’ ship. Silas soon finds himself in the midst of a war between two Kardashev type-3 civilizations vying for dominance over the Milky Way. With his new AI companion, Tracey, Silas decides to go on the run to keep Earth’s location secret. Contains profanity, gore, transhumanism, and eventual real-world LitRPG character stats and spaceship-building mechanics.

Starlight Antiquities
There is a place in the galaxy that deals in antiquities of all kinds, human and non-human alike. Its inventory of artifacts is colossal as is its inventory of mercs who they hire to acquire any artifact a client may wish that is yet to come into their possession. The ill-reputable business is constantly rubbing against the changing tolerance of the Union's government, and there are many security officers who would love nothing better than to vaporize the whole place with its owners inside. Yet, there are many tasks that nobody can do better, especially in the vastness of deep space where Union law is worth less than the energy needed to display it. One of its jobs involves finding an artifact that may not only hold the future of the human race but may also disturb the balance of the whole galaxy. *** While waiting for the next season of Mandalorian and the Witcher, and rewatching Firefly for the gazillionth of time, I decided to write this space-based series. The series has some litRPG elements in it, but it does not read like one. So, you won't run into any blue screens here. Yet, I wanted to use litRPG to give another dimension to this whole story and make it as unique as possible. This is a work-in-progress. Hope to keep on improving and fixing my mistakes as I go along.
