The Universe is held together by something. It is an undisputable truth but nobody knows what that something is. ... more>>

People claim that it is connected by The Path of Legends, where Gods traversed trying to find the meaning of their own existence. Others claim that the universe is a Tree, connecting worlds with its extending branches and giving life-bearing fruits to its inhabitants. Several even claimed that the Universe is just a colony of ants, that this universe and the worlds in it are just as insignificant as insects.

In one of the Worlds in it, the arrival of someone signaled great changes.

Gods will die, Trees will Rot, Insects will burn.

Those at the top had fallen and they will upend the worlds trying to claim what was theirs. Those at the bottom have had enough of scraps and they yearned to devour the fruits of the worlds. Those that were innocent and caught in between had no choice but to persist, lest they get erased by the surging tides.

Nobody knows where will they end, but everybody knew where they started. They will not be judged, they will not be rebuked, they will not be curbed, they will not be vanquished.

The universe is their canvas and it’s time — time to paint their truths upon it.

A TOURNAMENT OF SORCERERS…
AND THE MISFIT WHO ENTERED IT.... more>>

Ever since she was a little girl, Lucy Hardtvelt has wanted to attend the same academy of magic her mother had graduated from, as well as compete in the same, famous Sorcerer’s Tournament hosted there every year. And finally, after having her application accepted, Lucy is jubilant to begin her first year at the prestigious Greidwhen Academy for Mages.

In her first week, however, Lucy soon finds that, unlike her mother, she herself has little to no aptitude in the magical arts—struggling to keep even the most basic of spells from blowing up in her face.

Now, having been given a harsh dose of reality, Lucy must find out if she has what it takes not only to survive at Greidwhen, but also the Sorcerer’s Tournament and its one-thousand contestants where the winner will be given the title of Champion Sorcerer, as well as the right to challenge the Celestial Mages—who are known to have been defeated only a handful of times… <<less

In the XLVII century, a method was finally invented to remain in virtual reality indefinitely, and the first thing they plan to do with it is a game system that imitates, and perhaps surpasses, classic tabletop role-playing games. And as advertising the most famous RPG group of the time —ARES —will hold a tournament where four teams will participate until one completes the Mysterious Final Mission, all die or one team exterminates the others.... more>>

It should be noted that in this work I will be faithful to everything that the role-playing games represent and in effect I will roleplay every action the characters take to determine their success or not. In a few words, NEVER EVEN I KNOW HOW IS GOING TO FINISH OR WHO WILL WIN.

Palantine and Co. is an unusual company that does its work in an unusual field. But it's attractive enough to out of work Gary Bellamy, and offers decent pay and a good benefits package. But there are a few things a little strange about the local office. The CEO is perpetually out of town, apparently in search of ‘Enlightenment’. His co-workers are involved in research and investigations involve the likes of Bigfoot, ghosts, walk-ins and other supernatural phenomena, for who its not quite clear. It all seems a bit dodgy to Gary but again, good benefits package.... more>>

Ephram Palantine is having problems of his own. His search for Enlightenment hasn’t been going all that well, has lead down some rather bizarre rabbit holes. It's about to get a lot worse.

The employees of Palantine and Co. are themselves hoping their new hire is exactly what they need. Otherworldly phenomena is on the rise. A seven year old girl has gone missing in northern Michigan, and they are sure it involves something that happened to Gary when he was a boy, thirty years ago, not to mention that there have been sightings of same identical dead man on a Lake Erie beach now for several decades. Some might call what Gary and his co-workers are about to get involved in to protect humanity from a world whose borders with other realities are fraying at the edges, incredible and perhaps even insane. Some might call it a mission. <<less

This is the story of two worlds. One is known as 'real' and the other as 'virtual.' But let the question be explored: What is reality to you?... more>>

Synopsis:

In a future of corporate rule, virtual technology and physical-derived coding have become the norm. With technology advancing at an alarming rate, the CEO of one such corporation, Shinji Takamura, discovers a code derived from the world itself. He dubs it: The Universal Code. After implementation, Takamura accesses a world that feels as real as his own.

Following his death, the three largest tech companies unite to finish the ultimate virtual reality game: Puzzle and Dragons World. The closed LAN Beta Test is ready to admit the best Players of the original Puzzle and Dragons.

Ray Andylon is one of these few chosen to test the new virtual game. But Ray and the other Players soon find themselves questioning the world's reality. War looms as the malicious agendas of enemy Players and monsters are revealed. And in the real world, conspiracies unfold that could threaten both worlds.

Note: This story is not a typical fanfiction. It is mainly an authentic work. This story only uses some monster names/appearances, names of locations and the orb-matching strategy combat system from the app game "Puzzle and Dragons" on android/ios developed by Gungho. The rest is original, which means prior knowledge for readers is not required. The app game has no plot, and this story has no relation whatsoever to the anime aired starting in 2016. The original goal was to create a story using these monsters, giving them personalities and purposes beyond just images and stats. <<less

On planet Earth, Adrian lived a happy life with his loving family. However, just by accidentally falling into a small pond of rainwater, he was transported to another world (isekai basically), out of pure mistake.... more>>

Now on planet Soluvia, Adrian has to learn how to survive with his summoned companion, Ash, who seemed to have his memories sealed inside a crystal. With many adventures awaiting ahead, Adrian feels as if his head will explode just from taking care of Ash, so he is rather not fond of traveling into the unknown.

However, upon hearing that the prophesized hero had been summoned, Adrian found a goal to keep his sanity from dying.

If he helps the hero, there might be a way to return back home. Although there is nothing to confirm this, just the hope that he could go meet his family again pushed out the thought of more logical thinking.

"Ash, let's work even harder to get stronger. We must help the hero with his mission!"

"...Huh? Why is his mission more important than living a peaceful life here? I'm really not up for this...."

"...STOP BEING SO DAMN LAZY! I'm already fed up with taking care of you, so man up and just help me for once in your life!"

*** NOTES & WARNINGS ***
⚙️ This story contains transgender and non-binary characters as well as nonconventional gender roles. It also contains graphic scenes of sex. If any of this isn't for you, please back away slowly.
⚙️ This story takes place in a steampunk world of my own creation. The year 1937 would usually place it in dieselpunk territory, but this is a place where steam technology is still predominant.
⚙️ The gender-bending tag on this story references psychology changes or awakenings rather than physical gender swapping.
⚙️ For those of you picking this up for the sex, please note you're my kind of people! But also note it will take several chapters to build up to it. It starts in a very straight-laced culture but this will change, dramatically. However, it will take a while, so don't be too disappointed. <<less

The world has had VR tech for half a century; but now strangely people want to go more with AR systems they can take with them, instead of being confined to a pod or wear a bulky headgear.... more>>

Davis, a young exec in a company, is a first time buyer of the last pod-type VR pods, because he hasn't really cared about experiencing it until his workmates more or less push him to it. So, having explored his options and then purchasing from the company's "refurbished" old pod lineup, Davis is set to spend his two weeks of paid leave doing a lot of VR immersion ― play a few games, meet a few new friends, you name it ― and maybe wonder why people even _need_ a virtual red light district.

Sana, the young female technician sent from SukkYubaSys to install this VR pod in Davis-san's house while he's at work, is eager to please ... and also needs a good review or she's fired, and then maybe out on the street too. So when the pod install goes well but for some reason at the end she turns emotionless and cold, Davis cannot figure out why.

And then, they meet ... within a particular Adventure/RPG VR game. Why is she suddenly glaring? Did something happen to this eager SukkYubaSys employee in the meantime? Davis wonders.... <<less
