Chapter 1: Primordial Chaos Skill (Lower Mystic Tier)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
[Welcome to the Desolate Game.]
[Your character data has been fully set. Open the Attributes Window with the command ‘Attributes’.]
[Congratulations, you receive the Newbie Starter Pack!]
…
Wang Shuo looked around with a dazed expression, struggling to comprehend what he was seeing.
From where he stood, a vast barren land extended far into the distance. And on the earth-brown ground, there was not a single speck of grass.
This place was desolate and lifeless, almost no different from a desert.
“Where the hell is this?”
After five long years of playing LOL, he had finally achieved a pentakill. But after a light celebratory cheer, he found his surroundings spinning rapidly.
Under his defenseless state, he had no time to react. But the next instant, he found himself here.
Fortunately, Wang Shuo’s adaptability has been honed by his long-term reading, and he soon pulled himself together.
“The Desolate Game? Have I transmigrated in the game?”
After silently sorting out the information he just heard, Wang Shou tried the ‘Attributes’ command.
Swoosh! A transparent white window appeared in front of his eyes.
ID: K2648263
Name: Wang Shuo
Physique: 0.9
Cultivation Technique: None
Skills: None
Equipment: None
Items: Newbie Starter Pack x1
1/2
“Just this?”
Wang Shuo was speechless. The Attributes Window didn’t even have the strength or speed stats. Just a single Physique stat seemed a little too sloppy, didn’t it?
“Huh, there’s a second page?” Wang Shuo said ‘Next’ in his head, and the Attributes Window changed in a flash.
[Discussion Room k214]—Number of Players Online: 1000/1000
“Who knows what’s going on? I was just banging with my girlfriend, and I suddenly appeared here. What the f*ck. I don’t even have my underwear on!”
“Is this the work of aliens? Aliens, f*ck you! Let me go back right now! I just paid off my mortgage after 20 years. Let me f*cking go back now!”

“Idiot! You’ve already transmigrated. What’s the use of your house? So obviously a broke idiot.”
“What the f*ck? F*ck you!”
…
Wang Shuo glanced at the text box at the bottom with no intention of interacting with others.
From the discussion, it was clear as day that everyone was emotionally charged. Moreover, the atmosphere was hostile and nasty, making it the wrong time for interaction.
Wang Shuo shook his head in dismay and closed the forum.
He turned his attention to his items.
[Newbie Starter Pack: Open it for a surprise!]
[Open? Yes/No]
It was only natural to open it.
The moment he made the decision, a mechanical voice rang in his head.
[The player is undergoing a random draw. [Selection Option] automatically activated.]
[Here are the options…]
Instantly, row after row of tightly packed words rolled out in front of his eyes:
[Flame Palm (Lower Yellow Tier)]
[Metallo Blade (Lower Yellow Tier)]
[Finger of Rejuvenation (Lower Yellow Tier)
…
At the top, there were tons of options available, all of which carried the classification ‘Lower Yellow Tier’.
As a hard-core gamer, Wang Shuo immediately knew that this was the quality of the items.
Alas, there were no references, so he couldn’t tell what was good and what was bad.
Fortunately, there were more options.
With a quick glance, Wang Shuo saw that he was only 5% through the progress bar and continued downward.
After going through until the 60% mark, the classification finally changed.
[Earth Smashing Three Forms (Middle Yellow Tier)]
[Damascus Blade (Middle Yellow Tier)]
[Body Tempering Pill (Middle Yellow Tier)]
…
“Looks like lower yellow tier is the worst quality,” Wang Shuo guessed as he continued down the list.
At the 80% mark, the classification changed again.
[Imperial Vitality Skill (Upper Yellow Tier)]
[Gold Thread Armor (Upper Yellow Tier)]
[Mystic Flames Spear (Upper Yellow Tier)]
…
After confirming that the quality got better farther down the list, Wang Shuo simply scrolled to the bottom.

Suddenly, rays of green radiance flooded his vision, as if they were the warmest glimmer in a field of flowers. It was truly enchanting.
Fine, this was just an exaggeration.
Still, the moment his eyes landed on this option, Wang Shuo felt his heart quicken rapidly.
[Primordial Chaos Skill (Lower Mystic Tier)]
Description: The Five Elements engender one another, forming primordial chaos. After completion, the player gains a mystic-tier Dao Body, the Primordial Chaos Body.
Note: The Primordial Chaos Body can transform into any Dao Body.
[The options have fully loaded. Please make a choice.]
As an elite who had been through the ‘baptism’ of multiple webnovels, Wang Shuo realized that this sudden ‘Selection Option’ he was given was most likely the cheat that every main character received.
With a few deep breaths, he suppressed the overflowing excitement within his heart. Then without hesitation, he chose the Primordial Chaos Skill.
The next second, an exquisite white treasure chest materialized in midair around 30cm away from him.
With a crisp ‘kacha’, the chest opened. A bright blue light shot out, almost blinding Wang Shou. When the light dissipated, the chest disappeared.
In its place, a gorgeous green scroll full of delicate lines floated in the air.
[You receive Primordial Chaos Skill (Lower Mystic Tier).]
[Learn Primordial Chaos Skill?]
“Yes.”
[Learning in progress. Time Remaining: 2:59:59.]
The green scroll turned into a stream of light that flowed into Wang Shuo’s chest. Then he instinctively sat on the ground cross-legged and cultivated his new technique.
A gentle, warm current welled up from within his heart and slowly spread to his four limbs.
During the process, Wang Shuo felt his body, from the inside to the outside, from his joints to his blood, muscles, and even his skin, begin to swell slightly.
This feeling was as though he were soaking in a hot spring, and at the same time, countless pairs of tiny hands were gently massaging him. It made him so comfortable that a soft moan of pleasure almost escaped his mouth.
The relaxing experience lasted for half an hour before slowly disappearing.
Right as Wang Shuo was about to lament the end of his pleasure, another gush of familiar warmth flowed from his liver.
…
Then the warmth began spreading from his spleen, lungs, kidney…
After the baptism of the five warm currents, Wang Shuo clearly felt his body strengthening at a rate visible to the naked eye.
After an unknown period of time, another mass of information flooded his mind.
After some deciphering, he found that it was the cultivation method of the Primordial Chaos Skill.
Primordial Chaos Skill had seven chapters: Foundation Establishment, Metal Lungs, Water Kidneys, Wood Liver, Fire Heart, Earth Spleen, and lastly, Life Sublimation.
According to the description of the cultivation technique, the minimum criterion for cultivating it was at least 2 points of Physique.
With Wang Shuo’s Physique, he hadn’t met the requirement.
But the Desolate Game had a hidden benefit for newbies. They would automatically reach the minimum requirements for the techniques chosen from the Newbie Starter Pack, no matter how difficult it was.
What Wang Shuo went through just now was the benefit for newbies. He leaped from someone with nothing to a Physique that met the requirement of the Primordial Chaos Skill.

His Physique grew from 0.9 to 2 points.
In addition to the change to his attributes, Wang Shuo’s figure also improved by leaps and bounds.
He now had a well-sculpted waist with broad shoulders, long and muscular limbs, and toned muscles with well-defined lines that seemed to contain explosive power. With his perfectly symmetrical handsome face, he was basically a male god!
But after thinking about his current complex situation, he crashed back down to reality. With a long sigh, Wang Shuo lamented, “What’s the point of insanely good looks in this desolate place!”

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.

Poké Oneshots [Requests Temporarily Closed]
This is a small collection of oneshots that I either wrote for myself, or other people have requested. Requests are my top priority, so when you request, that comes immediately before anything that I happen to be writing for myself. Sometimes it may take me a while to publish the chapter you request, because the requests can back up a little bit.Requesting a scenario helps me form ideas a little faster, but if there's nothing in particular that you want to see, then I'll try my best to portray a good chapter from my viewpoint of the ship.You can absolutely request any ship that you want. There's a lot of oneshot collections out there who only do requests if it's a ship that they ship, but I know how hard it is to find stories for a ship that you like sometimes.Ships I'll probably inlude when writing for myself are:SpecialshippingNamelessshipping OldrivalshippingMangaquestshippingSoulsilvershippingFranticshippingAgencyshippingSequelshippingGreyskyshippingKalosshippingTwinleafshippingDualrivalshippingChessshippingFerriswheelshippingEntourageshippingCorruptedshippingBlacksoulshippingMalasadashippingLaverreshipping(You can request a ship and/or scenario)(I don't do ships from the anime, sorry (。ヘ°))
