An electronic sign sparks,
Caution Active Highway
It says, the words on the LED screen flashing on and off,
The highway is anything but active however, rows of cars pile the streets in a long line all empty…..
Fwoo~.
A soft breeze brushes past my face,
It smell dense and poisonous that I’m sure if my human body were actually here it would have died instantly by the toxic air,
..
Blamm!
I touch a car and its door immediately falls off; this causes a chain reaction that makes the entire vehicle fall apart
(They must have been here for long)
The many buildings that populate this apparent city are all old and crumbly, I fear if I even touch a door one the buildings will start falling apart like this car
All the vehicles seem to driving out of the city however,
Like a panic was the air
(I wonder what happened here?)
The city doesn’t look damaged or attacked,
(I guess I’ll see where these cars are going)
….
….
As the view transitions from the numerous city structures and architecture into the broader highway, it becomes much less crowded,
The sides of the roads are large fields that probably used to be grassy, now they’re filled with sand,
The sky above I hadn’t been pay attention to since the city was still well lit, but out here it’s dark,
Not dark as in night
There are no sun, moon or stars when I look up
Just black
……
……
Now Leaving Eldorado City– Universal Space Station Up Ahead
I read from a traffic sign
It appears all these people were headed there…
(Why?)
…….
Bcrrrzzzt
Bcrrrzzzt!
Bcrrrzzzt!!
(Hmmm?)
Bcrrrzzzt!
One of the cars appears to still be running
Bcrrrzzzt!
Slam!!
I pull open the door and falls off, the rest of the car remains standing however,

Bcrrrzzzt!!
A screen on the dashboard sparks, flashing on and off,
Date: June 13/2723–Generation: 666
(The year is two thousand seven hundred and twenty-three?
What does generation mean?)
Time: ∞
(The time is infinite)
Bcrrrzzzt!
Bcccccrrrrzzzztttt!
The dashboard screen sparks violently as I reach out, before shutting off
(…..)
…….
…….
Continuing on the path of cars I now keep my ears open in case there are any other working vehicles
……
*****
........
The road gradually gets steeper over time, a vast view of sand can now be over looked from where I am
This appears to be a coasty area the sea however is now a desert
Nearing the space center the cars all have their doors swung open rusty keys and other deteriorating possessions litter the ground here
It is evident that the drivers got this close and abandoned their cars, probably frantically running into the space station….
The aforementioned station gates are wide open the cars blocking the entrance,
Bammm!
Bamm!!
Some vehicles fall apart as I squeeze paste them by the gate
A large tower of glass and steel overlooks the yard below,
To the back of the space centers yard is an empty runway,
Judging from the view this space center is at top a cliff side near what was an ocean…
….
Crunch♪
Crunch♪
My feet step onto the broken glass in the station’s entrance.
The glass doors most likely broken by a crowd people rushing in,
Grzzzt!!
The lights flicker
Walking past the empty reception are now empty offices and waiting rooms for civilians,
*Click*
I press at the elevator panel
(Obviously it doesn’t work)
Pingg!♪
The door does open, nevertheless
But it’s just an empty shaft,
(Up or down?)
….
(Who am even asking?)
“hyuh!”
I leap into the shaft

Falling…….
……….
……….
……….
……….
……….
……….
……All the way to the bottom
Thumd!
I land on my feet effortlessly,
(I should have gone up first if I knew I was going to end up so far below)
…..
(Then again, they always keep the secrets below)
Grrrrrrraaaaammmm!
Tearing open the shaft doors at the bottom I enter into a curious room,
It is lit up under a dark green light,
Universe Status
At the head of the room a screen still runs it doesn’t display anything except for a black space
(It’s so dark you wouldn’t even notice the screen was on)
Crcck♪!
I accidentally step on a headset,
The floor is littered with them…
(Headsets?)
They just lie there as if the people wearing them had suddenly turned to dust.
(So strange…)
…….
*Click-click-click-tap-tap*
I’m just pressing random buttons at this point….
…..
Beeeeooowwwp!
(And it seems to have worked)
Memory wave converter
The words flash on a screen now,
EHHHNNCCKK!!
Then it buzzes red
Satellites inactive: Unable to run conversion,
(So this was a control room to activate satellites that converted memories?)
…..
I pick up one of the headsets growing increasing curios
Yin
One side of the ear pieces has printed on
Yang
On the other
(Hmmmm
I’m guessing these aren’t for music…)
Placing it on my ears I–
–Aghhh!
Aghhhhkk!
The buzzing
Aghhhhkk!
It pierces stronger than ever before so much so that I can’t even move to take it off
My senses all my feeling disabled
Ahhcckkk!
Stop!
Beeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeep!
Assessing errors…
The buzzing gradually fades into a robotic voice
Errors assessed…..

(Re-uploading?
Wait, am I—

Malt the Manslayer
This story does not follow a hero. Malt doesn’t slay dragons with a holy sword nor is he granted immense magical power when he transfers. Unlike his three classmates, he was brought into the new world not as a mythical hero, but with stats comparable if not worse than the average townsfolk. Assaulted by feelings of inadequacy and weakness, he leaves the comfortable castle life that the royalty offered him and decides to help his new country in the only way he thinks he can. By joining the war on the southern border. Not a war against mythical beasts or powerful demons, but against other humans. He thought that he’d finish a single deployment then come back to the castle, proud enough to stand beside his friends again. Little did he know that he’d become one of the most feared fighters on the battlefield, killing so many that he’d earn the moniker, “Malt the Manslayer.”

Tools of Slaughter: Story of a Human
In a world filled with war and horror, she was a tool of slaughter. She fought her way emotionlessly through the war for her masters' commands. But it isn't until they die that she realizes how much the people she killed meant to her. ... People say that being immortal would be an incredible dream come true, but they are liars. Immortality is a nightmare. People also say that they would rather have no feelings than to feel hurt. But she would rather feel something than to feel nothing at all; especially when people who care about her die right in front of her, under her own hands. She would do anything to become human. To live, to feel, to die. To be in control of her own fate. Even if it means losing everything.------------------------------------------------

The Collected Short Stories of Necrontyr525
Hey all, Necrontyr525 here! Rather then drown you all in a flood of one- to three-chapter mini-fics, I've decided to put out all of my short stories in an 'omnibus' format, sorted by series and by release date. These stories span my entire progress as a writer-for-fun over the past three plus years, with the corisponding variance in length, subject matter, and quality. Each chapter will get an Author's Note as a sort of forwards. Not nessisarily as a summary, but more to give you all some context for where each short came from, as well as any chapter-spicific trigger warnings. I can't think of any off of the top of my head, but better safe then sour.Comments, reviews, and constuctive criticizm is welcome, but please do recall that these works collectivly represent a great deal of my growth as a writer.Cover by the wonderful gej302! Go and show them some love!
