Extermination Protocol—Failure!
The Extermination process had gone as badly as possible. The FAILSAFE was lost. Soul Contortion had worked for some time, but the CONTRADICTION had been able to undo its effects and claim its Base Host for itself. CONTRADICTION was now with PREDATOR again, and they were approaching the core.
Now, there was no FAILSAFE to stop them.

The Crypt of Fiendish Worms was in a state of extreme disrepair. Most auxiliary energy reserves had been directed to aid the FAILSAFE in accomplishing Extermination Protocol. Soul-Contorted CONTRADICTION had also leeched 3.18% of existing Reserves.
Most unwise.

By priority basis, Inference reports were rated 13%. Too insignificant to be considered in such an acute scenario. It needed better alternatives. A better course of action. Better numbers. Better—

It hated itself. A peculiar LOGIC-less sensation. Hate? Non-anomalous expression. Emotion. Thought. Logic?
New variables. Where were these coming from?

That was surprising. It reran the numbers.

Perhaps it was looking for answers in the wrong place?

Still no possible choices. This was disturbing.
CONTRADICTION was a neonate anomaly in a HUMAN Host Body.
CONTRADICTION had a HUMAN mind active in the Host Body.
Decision?
Possible. Dangerous but possible. Extermination Protocol required an upgrade but the Risk to Reward ratio was high.
Not recommended.

The Inheritor
Alistair strolled through darkness shunning himself from light, he was plunged into the depths of hell by the greed of his own family. He crawled from those depths leaving trails of blood, craving for vengeance and toiling like a crazy wounded wolf. After years of struggle he stands at the peak, a peak no one could touch, a peak where he could disdain anyone. Alistair had long got his revenge and quenched his burning fire with blood of those wronged him. The man who was supposed to have achieved everything one could possibly attain in a lifetime was actually left with nothing but felt utter isolation and icy solitude before his inevitable end, the death. ***** Alistair was given another chance, reincarnation, with a system and the inheritance of the entire universe. He’s determined to lead an entirely different life, a life in which he truly pursues happiness with lots of friends, lovers and a lovable family. Will he get over his past and really turn a new leaf??? Will a place where law of jungle has long seeped into the society allow him lead a pleasant life without any carnage or bloodshed?????? ------------- Warning: About Story The Inheritor will be your standard reincarnation fantasy in a futuristic setup with cultivation being a mainstream occupation. Though it's a standard novel with Reincarnation and Cultivation 'The Inheritor' is not a HAREM and it'll have Romance. The action might take the back seat in the first part of the book. About the Author This is my first novel or any attempt to write something so I'm pretty much a newbie trying to pen down the fantasies rolling in my mind. English isn't my First language so brace yourself for some grammatic potholes. But I'm genuinely working on improving my English but it won't be happening overnight as it's a process, I guess. (for the time being, I'm trying to make it readable with some Grammar checking software) Moreover, I wish to improve my writing skills as the story grows and readers help in spotting mistakes or critics might turn it into a reality.

I'm Sure It'll be Fine! ...right?
We live to die, and die to live again. This Cycle continues, neither to Begin nor End. Ever Beginning, never to End, we come to the story of our Unusual Friend. The Gods are as varied and unique as the mortals that worship them. Some are kind, others are fluffy, and (given the nature of the multiverse) a few are Eldrich Abominations of Unspeakable Horror. But that's fine, those few tend to mind their own business... At least until an Eldrich Abomination (an interdimensional cosmic slime-mold specifically) gets itself devoured by a Lich during a ritual to obtain Godhood... Especially because anyone, even a Lich, who's willing to eat an ENTIRE COSMIC SLIME-MOLD for any reason, even godhood, is undoubtedly a madman...who's now set his unsightly gaze upon replacing (likely by devouring) the Godess of Magic herself! She could probably use some help...if only to avoid touching the slimy Lichgod directly. Also, the Eldrich Gods are protesting these events in their usual manner...by trying to destroy all of Creation.
