It didn't have a name. It didn't have memories. It had waived away its rights to these when it had signed its Service Contract. It would care more if it could, but beneath all the metal and wires, there wasn't much left to care with. There was one thing. A tug at the back of what it thought of as its mind.

What to expect: This promises to be a lengthy, hopefully not tedious, LitRPG Battle Royale-style book. Each character will be motivated by their own objectives and aspirations. The game's rules and elements will be diverse and intriguing.

The main character won't be overpowered; instead, he will undergo growth throughout the course of the book. A diverse range of compelling characters will be introduced, each with their unique approaches and goals, not merely serving to complement the protagonist.

Expect refreshing game quests, missions, and settings that go beyond mere monster fights or tournaments of power. As I'm still a novice in writing, please bear with me as I strive to improve. <<less

The year is 2123, and everything has gone to shit in the United States of America. The country’s infrastructure is crumbling. Politics has increasingly descended... more>> to a degree that is “beyond parody”, as some would say. To make matters worse, pride in the country has fallen to its lowest point since polling began.
Enter Manuel Coventry. At age 18 in the year 2100, he founded a company called Beantown Games in Boston, the last great city in America. This company is behind the development of Animal Antics, a massive team game in which every player has an animal avatar also known as a “Persona”, and the goal is to capture the enemy command post before the other team does.
Meanwhile, young Austin Lynch is down on his luck. He lives in a ratty old Los Angeles apartment that, much like the rest of this once-great city, has experienced a significant decline in recent decades. He works at a fast-food restaurant called the Nintendo Café making less than minimum wage. His one big passion, the one thing keeping him going, is following the Animal Antics World Championships, held annually in Boston.
Imagine Austin’s surprise when, upon making a digital purchase from the Nintendo EShop, he receives a “Silver Ticket” that gains him entry to the championship. Soon, he’s whisked off to Boston, where he will enter the tournament. However, an organized criminal syndicate threatens to blow the whole thing up, possibly literally. Can Austin and his team win the championship while trying to evade his enemies? <<less

Things were fucked, and they didn't need alien plant creatures invading to get that way. ... more>>

Ava Kaminski has known that all her life. Things were particularly bad in the megabuilding she had been born and raised in, where everything was falling apart, the corpos sucked you dry just for the pleasure of experiencing it, and her gang was losing ground fast.

Really, the aliens didn't make things much worse.

Now, armed with the power of a Vanguard to aide and protect those around her, maybe Ava can make things change for the better for once.

However, he didn’t gain any talents or blessings. Instead, he mocked by his peers. No way such a person was a ‘Hero’ like his Job had stated.

Job Class: ‘Hero’. Stigmata Gifts: None. Innate Gift: ‘Empty’. Future: Worse than even an F Rank.

He had zero magical abilities or superpowers. Only the techniques he’d learnt at home in preparation for this.

And if that wasn’t bad enough, a monster outbreak happens that caused him and many students to be stranded in a destroyed city. His only solace was that he was able to find people to partner with until rescue.

He wanted to run away, but the Job wouldn’t let him!

When eldritch horrors known as the Anathema began tearing through reality to invade Earth, aliens calling themselves the Zenith stepped in to protect humanity. Individuals were chosen and gifted with the ability to use magic and advanced technologies to combat the existential threat. Over twenty-one years later, the so-called "Magical Guardians" are still hard at work keeping the peace. With their flashy outfits, superhuman abilities, and reality-defying spells, they are the part-time heroes and full-time idols of modern society.

But none of that really matters to Maito, whose biggest problems are dealing with his family, classmates, and the ever growing dread of his imminent future.

As far as Maito is concerned, mundane problems are more than enough to worry about, and the idea of magic and monsters might as well be nothing more than daydreams. At least, they were until he finds himself in the middle of an Anathema invasion, desperately trying to survive with someone he scarcely knows.
