《Core .001》Volume 01: Epilogue
Advertisement
I have been walking for over a day now towards the south east. Still feeling dejected and glum, regrets fill my heart to the brim. But I realize there is nothing I can do anymore… all that is left is to move forward... I use my [Smell Sense] plus my new racial skill [Hearing Sense] to avoid all monsters the best I can.
As I traverse the landscape, I run into a small uninhabited cave. I know it is uninhabited because my [Smell Sense] is not picking anything up… so unless there is a monster who can somehow hide their scent, it should be in the clear. Either way, I am too tried to move for much longer...If there is such a monster...then it will be the end of me… Nothing I can do...
I am just glad that I stored some extra food in my [Item Box] from the monsters we killed during the investigation. Luckily that detestable middle aged man was not too stingy on food during the investigation due to all the monsters we killed. Of course it wasn’t from the goodness of his heart either, the meat was going to rot anyways and kept piling up. Since he did not want to waste time going back and forth too much between the village, he just let us take all the remains as we pleased. That was the first time in a long time that I actually ate to full.
Using the last bits of my stamina, I put together a few basic traps and methods of alarm outside the cave and lie down ready to collapse.
But then I remembered something important. I am now over level 10 aren’t I? Which means I can get my first non-combat class. I am really not in the mood for it now, but I know that I should at least give it a look.

Skills: [CP][Creationist: Analyze Everything]
“Talk about a sour reminder...” I mutter in sadness as I see the [Runner] job..
No! I need to get my act together and move on! Focus...
So from what I remember, the jobs are suppose to be based on what we did prior to hitting level 10. I can understand Runner since that one seems to be common among those used as bait. I can also to an extent understand herbalist since I have the skill and I have been using [Identify] on herbs quite a bit.

But why do I have Animal Trainer and Manager? Those seem to be some pretty high level jobs and I don’t remember training any animals or managing anything. I doubt me pocketing some resources into my [Item Box] qualifies right? Or is it the [Item Box] itself that opened the class up? As for Animal Trainer, the only animal I have ever trained even to the slightest was my old cat Shiro. Did that count somehow?
And then there is that Unique Job of creationist… I remember the receptionist lady saying something about Unique Jobs sometimes appearing...and she said most of them are crap and it is very rare to get a good one. But WOW...that looks so OP! Beyond OP even! And not only is it crazy OP, it is even more OP with my Unique Skill. Since I can unlock other attributes such as [SPD] from gaining other classes’ skills. Unfortunately it does not work on [LUK], but even then I still get two points every 10 levels!
The only thing that is useless is the 50% increase on attainment of all production skills. Since I can’t really attain them through normal means. But it might be possible that higher level skills are harder to get with my Unique Skill, and it might increase the possibility of getting them maybe? I still to this day don’t understand why I did not get [Horse Riding] skill…
Interesting enough, it seems that most non-combat classes are pretty poor as far as combat goes, unless you plan to go mage build? Very few give you any attack stats...Of course it is possible that there are some and I just don’t have them. If I remember correctly, the middle aged man had [Trainer] class, that probably had some combat stats on it considering the name of the occupation.
Now lets take a look at that [Creationist: Analyze Everything] skill.
[CP][Creationist: Analyze Everything] Level N/A
Allows the skills that specialize in identification to see other details that would normally not be seen that are specialized for the creationist class.
+3% for every level in your non-combat class +1% for every point of [PER]
I don’t get it…
I guess I would need to find out what it does, but even without it, the Creationist class is definitely pretty darn good…
So with no further ado, I pick the [Herbalist] class!
Joking!
Obviously I go with [Creationist]! It isn’t even a competition!
That really wasn’t all that funny was it… * sigh * … I am already tired, I’ll check on that skill tomorrow...assuming I’ll make it through my sleep safe and sound…
“Good night..” I mutter and fall asleep…

A-Live AI
The year is 2247. For almost two hundred years Sentient AI research has been banned. Everyone knew this, and yet no one has ever given up on finding the perfect setup for it. Restricted AI are rare, but possible to get ahold of if you have the money and the clout to get through the law for it. Especially when it deals with the military. Alfred Homis is an engineer and has spent the last three years working for the United Terran Military's Research and Exploration Department. Specifically to help build a 'shackled' AI who's prime directive was to explore potentially habitable worlds. Worlds that are far cheaper to colonize and add to the United Terran Directorate's fold than terraforming. During the AI's maiden voyage things go horribly wrong, taking Alfred Homis along for the ride. Thrown into a parallel universe where the laws of physics are just a little messed up, Alfred finds himself trapped inside the very machine he'd helped to build. Add magic, hostile fantasy creatures, and two different pantheons of 'Gods' to the mix and things get even more complicated. Oh, and an invasion between universes to boot. But that's just all in a days work though for Alfred, the AI Lord. Authors Note: Hi guys! Long time no see. And yes, I know that's all on me. But I blame life for that. Anyway, this is my new work, and I hope you guys enjoy it! The chapters are a little shorter than I'd previously posted in my other stories, but I cannot say that I have the same amount of time or energy to write them like that anymore. Sorry about that. Still, some warnings: There is cursing in this story. I am not going to edit it out. There will be sexual content later. Blood, gore and cruel depictions are all planned. If that isn't your thing, I'd suggest you turn back now. There is also my dry, and often not-so-funny sense of humor. And oh, it's all in first person gain. Haha. I just tend to write better that way. If none of that bothers you, then enjoy the read! Feel free to comment, point out mistakes, or make suggestions! Reviews are nice too, but please lay off the criticism until the story gets good and going. Thank you. Note 1: Some edits to the synopsis.

The Eye in the Sky
People have always thought that the undead would come from hell - that they would rise from their graves to bring their torments upon the earth. They never thought that they would come from the heavens instead and rain upon the world like divine judgment. Ten years had passed since that day. Evan had thought that he had seen all there is to see. What remained of civilized society couldn't recover. Millions of zombies wandered in every city, and thousands more roam the countryside. Every day was a struggle to survive just as it had always been. He, as well as most of the survivors that remained on earth, had resigned themselves to a life of wandering until their deaths. Their last hope was news of an underground settlement being constructed to the far west, outside the eyes of the wandering and falling undead. But then they encounter a girl who had survived in the middle of a heavily-infested city. She claims that she knows of a way to end the apocalypse once and for all. What should he and his group do?
