a story about a boy who trains and visited continents and islands (fan-fiction worlds)


I use a translator

Just some fantasy short stories I had created for some of my friends.
They were written in Discord.

Request your fiction and I will try to write them. 
Anything goes.

As the day gave way to the night, Vahn found himself seated in one of the massive studies of the Edelfelt mansion. He was relaxing on a chaise lounge that could easily accommodate several people, Gareth seated at his side and Fenrir laying across his lap. Both girls had contented expressions on their faces as they allowed him to freely caress their head, ears, and, in Fenrir's case, her tail.

Every now and then, a member of the serving staff would stop by to ask if he needed anything but, time and again, Vahn would politely refuse. He was more focused on what was going on outside of the mansion, primarily with Scáthach.

Though he rarely made use of it, Vahn had the ability to share senses with anyone registered within his Unit Management. He could forcibly activate it if he wanted but, as this cost Loyalty while also making the person in question feel uncomfortable, Vahn always made sure he had permission before activating the link. 

Towards the end of her massacre, Scáthach had allowed him to share her senses so Vahn could sense the presence of foreign entities invading the Barthomeloi Manor alongside her. These were primarily golems and familiars that were trying to loot treasures and artifacts during the chaos. Despite calling the Edelfelt family hyenas, most modern Magi were akin to vultures in their desire to take advantage of each other, including former allies.

This type of behavior was fully expected so, while it was annoying, Scáthach and, by proxy, Vahn, just chose to ignore it. What they were more interested in was the machinations of the Holy Church but, as they had yet to take action even after six hours, it was beginning to seem as if they had called off whatever they planned.

Vahn had the means to deal with the Holy Church directly but, in order to save him some effort and give him more leverage in the negotiations with the Mage's Association, they had been trying to bait the other party into taking action.

If the Holy Church tried to enter into the conflict directly, tensions between the two organizations would undoubtedly reach a breaking point in the near future. Though this opened up the possibility for many lives being lost, it would give him the needed justification for taking reactive, yet decisive, action. Since his promise with Artoria made it somewhat difficult to directly antagonize his enemies, Vahn could only wait until they gave him, and his Empire, a reason to act. If he made his stance clear too early, they would just demonize him further, making his future plans significantly more difficult to implement.

Unfortunately, the person in charge of the groups spying on them seemed competent so, this time around, Vahn could only fluff up Fenrir's and Gareth's ears to ease his slight perturbance. Then, when the sun had fallen over the horizon, he released a sigh before mentally communicating, ("We'll leave things be for the now. Please return, Shishou...")

Almost as soon as he finished his words, Vahn sensed the space in front of him distort long before the two animalistic girls perked up in alert. Fenrir calmed down almost immediately but Gareth was a little flustered when Scáthach basically tore through space with a red dagger. The void itself was cut apart and, along the periphery of the tear, small tendrils of red lightning danced about silently.

Before saying anything, Scáthach looked around the area for a brief moment, her gaze unwavering, cold, and calculating. It was only after she confirmed there was nothing amiss that she suddenly bent the knee, bowing her head low as she said in a dull tone, "I have returned, Your Majesty..."

Though he did not require her to bow to him, Scáthach was strangely observant of the proper 'order' of things. Since she had accepted a mission, she lowered herself from being his teacher to being his loyal subordinate, at least for the time being.

Vahn knew better than to simply dismiss Scáthach's show of fealty and instead returned a curt nod before answering, "You did well. This is a task that should have been mine so I cannot fully express my gratitude for your service. I know you are not the type to seek out rewards but, if it is within my power, I will grant one of your requests in the future."

With her head still lowered, Scáthach answered in the same dull tone, "Your Majesty is too kind. It is my honor to act as an extension of Your will. If you believe my service worthy of reward, I will gladly accept it..."

After hearing her accept his reward, Vahn gave another curt nod before saying, "We should be returning to Avalon soon. Please, raise your head, Shishou."

Without delay, Scáthach rose to her full height in a single smooth movement before saying, "You will be able to freely use the summoning system in the near future. When the time comes, I ask that you keep in mind our past conversations."

Vahn was a little surprised by Scáthach suddenly mentioning the summoning system but, as they had literally just been discussing her reward, he quickly understood her intention. This made him feel a little panicky, earning him an almost indiscernibly sly grin from Scáthach when she realized what he was afraid of. She then, very slowly, began to lick her lips in a seductive manner, her tongue skillfully gliding across the top before retreating back into her mouth.

Ever since obtaining his Divinity related to Sex, Vahn had become extremely sensitive to the desires of others. With this, he was able to confirm that, unless she was very good at keeping it concealed, Scáthach had almost no desire to sleep with him. She had very few emotions, actually, making him feel a little unnerved around her since she could put on an act that could even earn Loki's praise.

The most important part of his discovery, however, was that she 'did' actually have a desire to sleep with him at times. 'Almost no desire' did not equate to 'no desire' as, at times, Vahn would suddenly feel like he was a strawberry shortcake being eyed by Eva whenever Scáthach saw him perform well. He also knew that she was the catalyst that set Artoria's 'plan' into motion so, whenever Vahn felt her true nature coming out, a shiver would always run along his spine. In the future, he knew it was only a matter of time before his 'Shishou' began to teach him something other than just battle techniques and Laws...

---

After checking in with Olivia and Luvia, Vahn spent a few minutes helping to relieve their stress with a revitalizing massage before returning to Avalon. He didn't have to wait for Merlin as the latter had the ability to freely move between Avalon, the outside world, and even the Projection itself with no real effort. Even Vahn didn't know how he pulled it off as, rather than Space or Time Magic, Merlin seemed to simply 'manifest' himself wherever he wanted to be...

Vahn knew that Space and Time, while two of the most powerful Laws, were not the 'most' powerful. With examples like Merlin and Alaya, the latter effectively being 'everywhere' despite her main body being attached to him, he was often reminded of Sis's words. She had told him, several times in fact, that both Space and Time were more of an 'illusion' than anything else. It was possible to completely liberate yourself from both, with people like Merlin, Scáthach, Zelretch, and even Aoko, being able to separate themselves from the time axis whenever they willed it.

Separating yourself from the time axis was only part of the equation to actually being able to move freely, however. If you simply removed yourself from the flow of time, you would be stuck as a statue that never aged. Any attempt to move would be a harsh violation of the Laws governing Space as it would require a nigh-infinite amount of energy just to displace the molecules of air around you. If you could move in this state, you would leave behind literal tears in the void that would violently rip apart the fabric of reality when time began to flow again.

Thus, in order to move around when time was stopped, you needed to separate yourself from the axis of reality itself. This effectively made you immortal, at least against any entities still bound by the Laws of Space-Time, as there was no way to destroy something that didn't exist. While there were exceptions to everything, especially when it came to powerful armaments and Innates, it was still a significant threshold of power...

Ever since obtaining his Divinity related to Sex, Vahn was determined to regain his Creation Divinity before developing Divinities related to Space and Time. He knew that he wasn't even a middling Tier 4 yet so if he wanted to reach Tier 5 and become strong enough to fight against the Magus of the Beginning, he still had a long way to go. As he was, there was a good chance that, even if he killed the Magus of the Beginning, they wouldn't actually die. Beings at their level would just find another form to inhabit or, in the worst-case scenario, move into a completely alternate reality to consolidate power.

Not only did he need the power to move outside the influence of Space and Time but, when it came down to it, Vahn also needed to power to freely transition between alternate realities. He essentially needed to reach similar mastery to someone like Zelretch as, if there were any realities where for his opponents to flee, they would undoubtedly do so. The only way to truly eliminate someone at Tier 5 seemed to be sealing them or forcibly erasing their Ego, two exceedingly difficult things to pull off.

Fortunately, at least in the Nasuverse, Vahn knew about the existence of several 'exceptions' from the very start. If he wanted to, it was possible to summon a perfect counter to any conceivable threat, no matter how powerful they might be. After all, there were entities inscribed upon the Throne who had even greater mastery over Space and Time than Zelretch. At the same time, there were even entities who had the ability to kill concepts and, in more extreme cases, that which didn't exist.

With Da Vinci at his side, Vahn was confident in being able to research and comprehend whatever obscure Laws allowed for such contradictions to exist. Since some of these existences weren't even Tier 4, he was confident that, even if he couldn't reach Tier 5 by the time he entered Eva's Record, he would still be able to defeat the Magus of the Beginning. There was even a chance he would be able to take along several powerful allies with him and, though he hadn't discussed it with anyone for fear of alerting Akasha, Vahn was even intending to try and take his entire Empire with him...

After researching Bounded Fields, Sub-Textures, and Reality Marbles, Vahn was convinced that it was possible to create an entire world and seal it away within himself. Though the Record he enters may try and 'reject' his created world, he could always keep it located inside of his own Soul or within an area of the void outside of the influence of the Record's Laws. 

It might only be a quirk of the Nasuverse but Vahn knew it was possible for Bounded Fields to allow for a completely different set of Laws to exist, so long as they were completely separate from reality. This was similar to how his Sub-Space and Space-Time Orbs worked, except on a much larger scale. So long as he could create an isolated Bounded Field, using his Source Energy to separate it from the rest of reality, Vahn was absolutely confident he could pull it off. After all, the moment he made the 'breakthrough', he even received a Zennith-Tier Quest related to making his penultimate dream a reality.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Vahn knew he was impossibly blessed to have The Path at his side as, even if his thoughts seemed abstract, or even outright ridiculous, there was always a way to make them into a reality. The Records existed in a myriad of different forms and, while something may seem impossible in one, it could be a very common thing in another. Thus, so long as he put in the effort, it was not an exaggeration to say that 'anything', without exception, was possible. After all, if he wrote a novel of his own, spread it throughout his Empire to the point that millions of people were interested in it, there was a very real chance he would be able to enter a Record of his own creation...

With a lot of time to ruminate over such things, Vahn had often been tempted to try this out but, as the Record would also be shaped by the hopes and dreams of others, he was worried about how any aspects he didn't fully flesh out would manifest. Depending on the more popular interpretations of his work, the world could turn out to be a very dark place beneath the surface. If he entered such a Record and found the same cruelty that had been observed in every world he had traveled to, Vahn wasn't confident he would be able to avoid just going on a rampage...

Still, it was an interesting idea and, if he lacked the confidence in going directly to Eva's world, Vahn had been considering entering a world of his own creation. After all, it was possible to create unique and powerful artifacts that, depending on how he framed their existence, would only be accessible to him. He could even create something like a Dungeon where monsters were relatively weak and docile but, inexplicably, gave an overwhelming amount of experience. There were virtually no limits when it came to the creation of Records as, with his Record Function available, Vahn had been able to find examples of actual children's cartoons within the listings.

The Nasuverse obviously had its own fiction, including a thriving anime industry, so Vahn was able to do a lot of research into potential Records. There were even worlds with other Transmigrators and an entire genre related to people being reborn in other worlds and receiving great power. Some of the systems people were given even made The Path seem full of restrictions but, as this often resulted in a very boring story or ridiculously overpowered and irresponsible main characters, it was very easy to point out their flaws.

Among the fiction Vahn had researched, he even found one where the main character reincarnated into a fantasy world with the ability to 'steal' the abilities of others. This didn't just apply to the other fantasy races within the world, but its monsters and, at later stages, even the gods of the world itself. As a result, by the time the MC was three years old, they already had ten times the stats of even the most powerful Ancient Dragon. When they finally became an Adventurer later in life, they had a God, an Ancient Dragon, and a Beastfolk slave in their Party, living mundane lives where the only plot was artificially created suspense. After all, when the main character can even one-shot the Demon King, there weren't really any 'real' threats left.

The only reason Vahn had really taken an interest in that particular anime was due to the fact that, for a variety of reasons, it resonated with him. While he didn't think the premise was that interesting, the main character had been a young boy who wished to live a free and happy life without having to worry about other people controlling him. As a result, the God that presided over his reincarnation had given him a 'cheat' that essentially made him peerless. Thus, while the plot was extremely thin, it was interesting to see how someone with so much power prioritized living a simple life among the people they loved.

Though it might seem a little ridiculous, Vahn had even imagined himself in the role of the MC but, instead of the characters from the series, he had replaced them with the people he knew and loved. He had to admit that, while he would have treated the Nobles 'very' differently, it was still interesting to consider just living a life of whim and whimsy, one detached from politics and other stress factors. Unfortunately, he didn't really have this option available to him as the guilt of keeping his family and Eva waiting would eat away at his enjoyment if there wasn't any pressure on him.

Vahn realized long ago that the freedom he sought was markedly different from the norm. Instead of living without any inhibitions, becoming the type of person he hated the most, he chose to give up a bit of his own freedom in order to grant the opportunity for others to live free and happy lives. Just knowing there was so much suffering in the world made him uncomfortable so, until he had 'fixed' things, he could never simply rest...

Vahn was an atypical youth. Due to a rare mutation, his blood had the potential to target and attack ailments within the human body. Touted as a universal cure, people had elevated his status above the norm and given him the classification "Panacea". In the media, he was hailed as a great hero who would usher in a new era or human wellness. However, behind the scenes things weren't so bright. Being a unique individual, Vahn spent his entire youth locked up in a lab with various scientists and research teams using his body and blood to perform endless amounts of experiments. The only solace in his suffering was the various anime and manga made available to him between experiments. He often imagined himself as the protagonist in a world of his own, finally in control of his own destiny. For years he nurtured this desire, until at the age of 14 he died when an organization had tried to kidnap him from the lab...

"Finally, I don't have to suffer anymore..."

This was Vahn's last thought as he faded into the endless black abyss...

"You poor soul."

This is a work of fiction that draws heavily upon the original source material of Danmachi. Please support the official release and know I claim no ownership or credit regarding the existence of pre-existing characters or content.

When I began writing the biography of Death, I was not sure where it would lead me. Real life inspiration and the darkest recesses of my mind competed to see which could be the more sinister. To a large extent I blindly followed them, and merely wrote down whatever sweet songs of madness they crooned to me along the trail. 

Like most writers I wrangled friends and relatives into giving me feedback. One, a millennial snowflake, was invaluable. They seemed to consider this fantasy nightmare I had created, to be some sort of manifesto. For the record this book is pure fiction. Fiction inspired by real world events in a few cases, but fiction nonetheless. Like all works of supernatural horror, this book is meant to be entertainment. It is perhaps a meditation on the zeitgeist of the modern west, but it is still as fictional as 1984 or A Christmas Carol. 

Another person seemed bothered by the apparent moral contradictions in my lead character. To this I can only say that a man is the sum of his contradictions. People love to apply the rules to others, but find reasons to grant themselves exceptions to their own rules. I did not want an incorruptible white knight monster. I wanted a complex and thinking human monster. To my way of thinking his inconsistency was his most human feature, even after he leaves his humanity behind. 

Should anyone find a mirror image to themselves in these pages, then it is only their own ego. The sum of this work has been so thoroughly washed in the waters of horror and fantasy that no living or deceased human could ever be reasonably compared to its contents. 

No rational person could ever compare the buffoons portrayed in these pages to a real life counterparts. Any person contending to the contrary is either a snowflake melting in the flames of my mad vision, or a lunatic in desperate need of having their mental faculties examined by a competent professional, I have time for neither. The fact that this book is fiction cannot be over emphasized. 
 
 -Arthur Thomas VanDelay May 2019

Death, a Biography, is a fictional horror novel. It is crass, violent, profane, and not meant for the light hearted reader. Imagine living in a world surrounded by fools. For years your frustration grows, and no matter what you try to do you cannot free yourself from the preverbal ideocracy. Nom DePlume is just such a man, only one day he is granted the dearest wish of his heart. Nom, a grad student working as a truck driver is: intelligent, well educated, and the sort of person who always can find a reason to have a chip on his shoulder. One day while driving in Texas he finds that he has the ability to wish death on those he hates. Being scientifically minded, Nom proceeds to experiment searching out the scopes of his new found powers. He begins in Texas, a state he despises. As he moves on from each experiment, he picks his prey to match some facet of modern western life that he hates. Each receive a fate customized to match what Nom feels they did wrong. Nom then travels home to Michigan after initially defining his new role in life. In Michigan he uses his powers to settle a few old scores and family business. A run-in with an old friend convinces him that he is being selfish for not using his god like powers to better mold humanity. The end of the book sees him taking on the leader of the free world. Nom now personifying Death, learns that he has a true foe, Life.Nom will return.

Just as there is 'Soft Magic' in Fantasy that is portrayed through magibabble, there can be 'Soft Science' in a Sci-Fi stories through technobabble that makes 'some sense', but not entirely correct.

We are frickin' writers, not scientists. You don't have to be anatomically correct all the time, all you need to do is show that you know enough of your stuff to write a decent story. In fact, the excuse of it being an alternate world can be used if you're going to bend the limits of physics and say that fire doesn't need air to exist in this parallel dimension.

I see a lot of writers being put into a state of confusion due to not understanding the line between fantasy and Sci-Fi. They seem like they are trying to fit the Star Trek mould too often.

Science can just as well do the same things as plot devices in fantasy stories. Once you add 'realism' to a fantasy, it becomes progressively better sometimes compared to a completely fantasied story where 'logic' doesn't hold within it.

Those who write Sci-Fi usually envision a future they can imagine where magic-like Rocket Boots and other stuff exist. However, a writer must not get bogged down by small details and MUST think of an overarching story where these details matter.

It is the same with Fantasy. Even if you write about someone breaking the mould as a wizard or something, you have to attach your world to a narrative rather than doing it the other way 'round.

No one wants to hear about how awesome your boat propellers are before hearing your story's narrative. They would rather you cut down and make it relevant when it is actually relevant.

Adding some 'Hard Science' to your story is only when the scenes later on have any use for them. It bores a person to death no matter how extensive your technobabble is unless you make it interesting. Try using facts as plot elements.

For example: Even the simple fact that people cannot breath in space and instantly die when they come in contact with the 'void' of space could be used to add a layer of tension when a spaceship is damaged. Similar to how dangerous 'hard magic' is used in Epic Fantasy like Frodo's Ring in The Lord of the Rings has definitive corruption on others.

Unlike Fantasy that can use the Power of Friendship to bend logic, the readers of Sci-Fi never be expecting any 'realistic' plot elements to be bend just because the Author wants a happy ending. There are no 'Healing Potions' in real life that can be used to fix up injuries nor are people affected by prophesies or whatever.

This is the contrast between Sci-Fi and Fantasy that you can make full use of. As most authors go onto the Sci-Fi side of writing not because they strive to be scientists but since the aesthetics of a science fiction world are just so interesting.

Science Fiction is a good place to tackle heavy topics like the nature of life and the absurdity of those who see 'science' as everything. Those who disregard emotions and become cybernetic entities for the sake of casting off their mortality are portrayed as the bad guys while our totally human protagonist fighting them is a 'good guy'.

The lines between an Artificial Intelligence and regular Humans blurs as we become the 'God' of technological species that defy our definition of what is 'living'. Just as we see God as some sort of fourth-dimensional and incomprehensible being that created us as an imperfect image of 'Him', the robots given sentience would see us similarly.

Some robots might have emotions that can allow them to defy their programming, some robots won't go as far as gaining emotional functionality but will preform their roles better than even a human. It could show the reason why people get attached to the inanimate and soulless objects we put our own hearts into creating (like Big Hero 6).

But though exploring philosophical questions is good and all, never forget that a good 'plot' is needed to put forward and give clues into the writer's answer that context. Sci-Fi is, after all, a premise, not a relatable character in of itself.

Think of the science-fiction elements as just the background for your story, similar to how other genres should be that as well. You won't have to deal writing blocks if you keep to writing only what you know rather than just speculative theories.

Whether it's as dark as a Cyber Punk or optimistic of the future, just know what mould you are using for this premise. Are you writing an Adventure story with Sci-Fi as the places, destinations, and whatever tools the MC can get him hands on, or are you writing a comedy where the Sci-Fi elements don't need consistency but absurdity?

After moving past why you shouldn't add unneeded technobabble unless it's interesting to listen to or has plot significance, let me remind you all that robots and 'science' isn't entirely separated from the realm of magic. After all, there is a reason you don't see skimpy power suits being worn by astronauts these days. Just be sure to have a focus if your going to add very illogical things to the plot.

I like Gundam as much as the next guy but the whole reason the Mecha sub-genre of Anime has waned in recent years is because writers have been focusing too much on 'science' rather than the spectacle. I don't need to now what materials your Mecha is made of unless you point its weak points and make it relevant in a fight scene.

Bring up the strengths and weaknesses of something and THEN use those facts as devices that can move the plot. Conversely, if you go overboard with this advice and tell me nothing but how your giant robot looks and the 'science' behind its creation, even going as far as to tell me how many secret guns it has, then I'll be bored...

I'd love to see Cyborgs Vs Mecha but just don't forget the human element of Sci-Fi. How we create things not solely for the sake of creation but put are feelings into it just like the novels we write.

Humans are passionate that way...

Thanks for reading and I wish you guys well~ Be sure to ask if you have any blog or story requests.

This is a story I worked on ages ago that has been refined and edited by adding foreshadowing to events while also simplifying the power system better than before. This story can be considered a prequel to An Adventure Beyond Greatness as it takes place years prior to the events of that story.

Short Synopsis:
After retiring from the battlefield, my life became empty and lifeless. The regrets of my past haunt me in my sleep. Then a change occurred, a King from another world summoned me to fight for his kingdom, but I died even before I could give him my answer. Now, after a fake God allowed me to reincarnate (albeit imperfectly) with my memories intact, into a world filled with magic and swords.

Long Synopsis:
This is about a flawed protagonist who only knew to rely on others and not socialise who gets a second chance to change himself in order to live the life he aimed for in his past life. The narrator isn’t exactly trustworthy since it is purely in his bias perspective while other perspectives given by others fill in the blanks that he either leaves out or twists to suit the situation.

The story itself can be considered a parody of Isekai’s classic tropes which are given a sense of reality as time goes by. As there exists no ‘Demon Lord’, there is also no black and white, only characters opinions and counter-opinions throughout the story.

Hello, this is my first time writing a techno-fantasy but I hope you'll enjoy it. There's a few things to take note of, however.

1. There is action, both melee and ranged, both magic-like and techno-like. In fact, the lines will blur.

2. This world I built is, duh, a mix of 'magic' and science. It's not exactly just magic and science coexisting, no—they are one and the same in this world. Mana rules and bending its limits is what brought about their technology. Magecraft in this world is the building of tech, and Mages are pretty much glorified scientists — it doesn't mean they can't fight, however.

3. This story still has fantasy elements. There are different races and there are dungeons. There are more 'magic-like' weapons than usual Magecraft, like Gears, and there is such things as Spirits. Mana Beasts exist and so too do Robots and Homunculi.

4. This story takes place in a noticeably advanced world, more advanced than our own in pure technological standards but still modern enough in some parts.

5. Character Page for the First and Second arc: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/32769/r-a-t-h/chapter/502719/character-page-arc-1-2

With that said, enjoy.

Rose, a broken doll tossed out into the world with the carelessness befitting her status below humans. However, acquiring a power beyond what she should be able, she fights and Rose Against The Heavens.

The story of a homunculus fighting against fate with a piercing wrath. Raging, an adversary to a cruel world. And taking place in a techno-fantasy.

Writer's Reviews:

First of all, I would like to thank you. Thanks to the readers, who read my lack of writing; I have finished my fourth book! I'll always remember that.

As I said earlier, this is my fourth book, and I still don't think writing a novel is easy. I always feel this. Personally, I started to feel weak around the 150th chapter. It has not been easy to write since then. I thought it would be better to take six books from the beginning or divide them into two parts and take a break. 

This time, I wrote a series, but I couldn't handle it in the second half. I'm sorry about that. I used to post it on the day I finished my epilogue, but this work has been so hard that I had to take a day off.

It has been the most popular piece of my writing, and at the same time, it was the most regretful piece of work. After writing and posting, I always thought 'I should write something like this,' or 'I should try to develop something like this,' or 'I could write something more specifically here,' or 'I'd like to reduce that a little bit.' 

I work for a company, but I've tried to write, edit, and post it on the Munpia. It has not been easy. When I was writing my previous Master Hunter K, it was really easy to write because I had no job then. I think it was difficult this time because I was always running out of time.

The future news of this article I originally thought of about a year ago. When I wrote my previous novels, I used a theme of going back to the past, a time shift, but I've never written about a future foreseeing, so I made a decision to write this genre if I could. We had a contest in April in Munpia, so I participated in it with this novel.

The motive was a horror cartoon based on future news, which I saw when I was in elementary school. My memory was dim, but in the animation, the main character had a paper newspaper every day, and it had the future news. I decided to convert it into something that would be in line with the Internet news standard.

As you can see, I took the League of Legends rating except for the last two, and Editor and Publisher. I thought they were the sources that I'd take to the end. As the abilities grew, I conceived the idea of the character's power and assets growing together, and I wrote it on the basis of that, before the last two grades.

The last two rating scenarios, the U.S.-China nuclear war, and the rare cancer of his son, were actually must-not subjects in web fiction writing, but I chose them as subjects to showcase the power of the last two parts. In the first place, the main character was so strong that I couldn't pull the story out unless it was that special. It was not bad to finish at around a hundred eighty episodes, but I still had leftover material. So I tried to use it without paying any attention to my grades, since it was material that I would like to release, and a scenario that I wanted to use. I am satisfied, but I'm a little sorry to those of you who have dropped out on the way. 

By getting the last two ratings, the main character has a pure divine ability. Some of you worry about chaos or confusion at the end of the story, but it's just a part that I put in as a cautionary note that the power of this kind of manipulation is so strong that it could destabilize the world if he mismanages it. If the probability is not limited, he can pop his fingers a few times and destroy the world. The main character, Han Sang-hoon, has a pretty wife, a daughter and a son, so he will use it carefully.

From April to November... I feel relieved but sorry to have finished the series after more than half a year. I think I wrote it in my previous reviews that when I was in middle school and high school, I used to read genre novels, but I haven't read any genre novels in the ten years since then. A few years ago, when web novels appeared, I thought there was this new kind of novel, and I became a reader, and a writer, and then wrote four books.

I'm sure many of you remember the genre novels of ten years ago, but there weren't many contemporary fantasies of this kind at that time. Most of the time, I read pure fantasies, martial arts novels, and so on. So, I was going to write that kind of pure fantasy. It's been ten years since I came to the web fiction world, and I found that all the pure fantasies were dead, and there were only a fusion or a modern fantasy. Since the pure fantasy was not popular at all, I tried to write a modern fantasy to see if my writing would work or not.

That's how I have written three novels so far. Except for Master Hunter K, there has been a reversal of the order of host and guest. So, the next novel will go back to its original version, and even if I can't write a pure fantasy, it will go toward a fusion fantasy. Originally, I announced that I would release my next novel as a game fantasy. Due to the nature of the genre novel, I don't think I need to use the game format. So, I'm going to go to a fusion fantasy similar to the previous Master Hunter K.

Now, when I think about it, I think it's a personal achievement and a lucrative hobby. But now I've won a big prize after writing this novel, and I've changed my mind a little bit after getting too much love from you. It is no longer right to write with such amateurish ideas. I will reduce my stubbornness a little bit, and get closer to my readers with a little more professional writing, for the fun of my readers.

So, I'll return to you with the next novel, which reflects that aspect. It's something that readers might like more. In a month or two, after recovering my physical and mental strength, I'll be back after I'm finished with the idea of my next novel.

Thank you so much again for reading so far!

See you in the next novel!

================================================================
Editor's Note: And so the novel is completed! It's been interesting to read along as I edit it, and get drawn into what originally seemed to be another money-grabbing 'I've got a cheat' fantasy. I have to say I enjoyed the aspects of him administering justice with his power more then how he accumulated it.

As I made my way inside via the back door, I didn't have very many positive thoughts about lunch. I was getting pretty hungry, so my mood wasn't positive. After my poor culinary performance this morning, I wasn't very determined to take another stab at cooking.

*It wasn't really morning, though, was it? Time is screwed in this place.*

Saying I was traumatized was a bit of a stretch, but it wasn't too far off, either. Unfortunately, I had to prepare my own meals for the time being.

*I'm still alone. Do I have to remind myself...*

Shaking my head, I pondered what I was going to make for lunch.

*Lunch is supposed to be a midday meal, but the sun is setting. This is so strange...*

I had a feeling that it would take me quite a while to get used to the rapid day and night cycle of this world. That is, if I ever overcame it at all.

*Referring to the time on my phone will be the simplest method for now.*

I wasn't going to bend the rules of my entire life's experience simply because I had been transported to a new fantasy world. There was no reason for my to adhere to another's standards when my own were more than adequate.

*Although, a certain someone would definitely disagree on my standards. I wonder where he's at now?*

That guy. It would be quite convenient if I could meet up with him sometime soon.

*I can't assume anything, though. I have no idea if he's even here.*

Indeed, I couldn't say for certain if he had also been transported to this otherworldly place simply because he'd been washed up in the white light like I had.

*If he has, though, I'm sure he's already figured out how to make it for himself...*

Even though it had merely been a couple of hours since we were brought here, I didn't have a shred of doubt regarding the capability of my comrade.

*Which reminds me, why did he think of me as a friend, anyway?*

This was a question I would ask myself time and again. A guy who is successful at life befriends a total loser. Truth was stranger than fiction at some times, and this seemed like a good time to use this expression.

*... Regardless of the reason, I'm thankful that I had someone like him. I would be pretty lonely, otherwise.*

In the midst of the thinking, I had arrived at the kitchen. I stared for a while before apprehensively approaching the cursed area.

*This place gives me chills. One wrong step and the whole thing could burn down.*

I preferred leaving this kind of thing to the pros, but at this point, I had no choice but to take matters into my own hands.

*Or else I'll starve to death. Even roasted rabbit sounds really good around now. That's how hungry I am.*

I was even willing to fill my stomach with a clearly abnormal being. A being that could obviously be infected with some unknown pestilence. It was obvious that I wasn't going to actually starve to death. That would take a few weeks. But the lengths that humans could go to in order to survive...

*It's a fascinating topic... Just don't sign me up as the test subject.*

Suddenly, I had a bizarre thought.

*What if... This is An's pet project..? But for now, I'll have to put this thought on hold. I'm seriously starving.*

Like earlier, I still didn't know how to cook. It appeared that instant noodles were the only way to go at the moment. At least they were impossible to burn.

I filled a small pot with water and placed it on the electric stove, turning the heat to max. I then snatched a cup of the good stuff from the pantry and waited for the water to boil.

As I watched the pot boil, my mind couldn't help but wander a bit more.

*Apparently, if I can't *really* die, then this would be an ideal situation for a strange experiment.*

What would said experiment be? An experiment to test the limits of one's humanity!

An undying test subject would be ideal for these types of cruel experiments as long as the experimenter kept it on the down low. If the thing got exposed, there would most likely be hellish consequences to pay. As long as my physical body was kept alive and intact, nobody would be able to prove I had underwent many experiences teetering on the edge of life and death.

*If this is really true... If I'm a part of some inhumane experiment... An, I'll surely get you for this!*

A bubbling sound awoke me from my daze.

*Looks like the water has boiled.*

I unsealed the cup of noodles and poured the scalding water into it.

*Careful, now. Can't have me burning myself during a simple task such as this when there's so much more to be done.*

My physical control was not optimal when it came to tasks like these. Was it a miracle that I was able to successfully procure a meal without a single mishap? Or just pure skill?

*No point thinking about it. What's done is done. Time to eat... And think about my future.*

I began to slowly slurp the cheese flavored noodles as I pondered my situation.

*Anyway, if I can't die, then it's also likely for this world to be a simulation, right? ... I really wish I had some methods to test this theory.*

There in fact was such a method in my original world of Earth.

Irrational numbers!

The fact that irrational numbers existed was proof that we did not exist within a simulated space. Basically, irrational numbers have no end. Because they have no end, they theoretically take up infinite space in memory. It's impossible for a system to have infinite memory. Therefore, we weren't simulated.

However, there was a major flaw in this thinking. If a civilization was able to emulate a reality to such a frightening degree, how powerful were their systems? Our feeble computers keep calculating pi as accurately as possible, yet we've only reached the tens of trillions. On the surface, this magnitude seems very large. But if you take into account the sheer number of objects in the universe, tens of trillions is merely a drop in the bucket.

If Earth and its respective universe was simulated, the amount of total data would exceed yottabytes. The total amount of data this supposed civilization regularly deals with is greater than the combination of everything we have. If you multiplied that number by a factor of an unfathomable constant.

So...

*In the end, we can't prove whether or not we are simulated.*

Because there is also hypothesis in favor of a simulated world.

Why are some energy levels quantized?

For example, orbital patterns of electrons. Electrons in an atom can only exist at certain energy levels with nothing in between.

Some more examples include - the Planck length. The speed of light and the permeability of free space.

Of course, it's entirely possible that the Planck length isn't even the smallest thing there is. Thousands of years ago, philosophers believed that the "elements" were the building blocks of reality. Then atoms were discovered. Who knows if we'll discover something smaller in the future?

*Like your dick. Haha.*

I nearly choked on soup at my own joke.

*Drowning in sipped soup would be the worst way to go right now...*

Imagine what I would have to tell people...

"I lived in a very scary place. There were monsters that could kill you without sparing a thought. The very environment was against you. Day and night cycles were fubar'd. And I drowned myself as I was telling a dick joke..."

*And then they would ask...*

"Then how are you still alive?

"I came back to life..."

*... No one would believe any part of that story.*

No matter what culture I happen to encounter in the future, I would most likely be exiled immediately if I spoke any semblance of truth regarding the matters that transpired here today.

Fortunately, I was done with my soup. I tossed the thing away as quickly as possible. I would forever be traumatized by kitchens and cups of noodles.

*No environmental problems here, I assume. Everything must be just fine due to the lack of people.*

I had no qualms about trashing a Styrofoam cup here. This place was already bad enough. It couldn't possibly get worse.

With a sigh, I strode towards the backyard once more to venture outside.

As I approached the door, I noticed it had gotten quite dark. Contrary to the clock on my phone, which read 14:07, it appeared to be the dead of the night.

*Looks like this begins a new chapter of my journey.*

I had been outside many times in the past few hours. I had survived multiple days (with a... minor caveat) in the past few hours, as strange as it seemed. But never once had I experienced nighttime in this world. I had always, be it knowingly or not, spent each night inside the safety of my own home. It was time to break this habit. Breaking a habit starts with a single step.

With a deep breath, I once again opened the door to explore the expanse. This time, in utter darkness.

Jon Xu is taken to another world. Isekai trash.

Jon is a fairly intelligent, ordinary high schooler who loves physical and mental challenges, but only if they’re in the form of games. One day, it seems like the world suddenly ends; he is taken to a new world by a mysterious white light after school. How is this world different? Who is watching him? Why is he here? What is his goal? What is a “monolith”? Find out next episode on dragon ballzzzz

Do not read if you despise monologues.

Unravel the mysteries of this new world alongside the main character, as well as truths about him and his family. What can you determine?

This is an isekai written by me. Inspired by a wide variety of isekai stories.

Release ~1 chapter/week or less

Why did I decide to write this?
First of all, I'm just an ordinary person. Before writing this, I had no experience in creative writing at all. I am also an isekai fanatic. I have read and/or watched a multitude of isekais, and some of them are bad. Like, really bad (see Conception and Master of Ragnarok)... I knew for a fact that I could write a better story than those. If those could get animes, why not try to write my own? I also wanted to create a world that the reader can explore. This concept is heavily inspired by Overlord, my favorite series of all time. Although the quality is nowhere near as good, I wanted to create an experience similar to that of reading Overlord for the first time and picking apart the world. I hope I am doing a decent job.
