《The Great Voyage》The Titanic
Advertisement
The scientific community was overjoyed at the creation.
They cheered and they laughed, once again.
Their labours were finally bearing fruit. But the creators were aware that this fruit might as well have been the Forbidden Fruit.
One that mankind was not meant to create, or interact with.
But humanity had lost its patience. The secrets of the universe could now be unravelled. And they wished to wait no longer.
The Time Contraption would be implemented, in conjuction with the infinite energy solution. A team would be sent, consisting of several people including the five creators. The project would be dubbed "The Great Voyage."
And their space ship would be called, The Titanic.
The name was opposed by many, given the history of the original bearer. But Noah was adamant that the name remain unchanged. For unlike the real ship, this one would go forth and not sink.
This one would complete it's voyage.
It would take five years for the Titanic to be built to perfection, and not a soul working on the project made any compromise.
They slaved away, working as relentlessly as the machines. Assiduously integrating every piece into the system. It was a sight to behold! As glorious as the creation of the pyramids themselves. The pinnacle of human innovation, and ingenuity. The ultimate creation made by man. The summation of every scientific research.
The possible solution to the universe itself.
And it was done. Five years had passed. The Titanic was ready. A colossal ship, fifteen storeys high. Shaped like a surfing board. Completely black, like the Time Contraption itself, which lay at the heart of the ship.
The crew of 50 was ready. The goodbyes had been said. Promises of return had been muttered with wavering lips and uncertain eyes.
Noah was ready. The four other creators were ready. The five of them were, perhaps, the only ones among the fifty five that knew for certain that this voyage would be a complete success.
Fifty-five humans would travel beyond the edge of the Universe.
The Titanic would not sink. The Great Voyage would be noted in history books and become the stuff of legend.
The creators had known this ever since the Time Contraption had been created.

Law of Shadows
Mercs are causing trouble in my city. They are hunting someone, whatever the cost. It’s not like I care that some lowly humans died, but if I don’t act now it would set a bad example. So what would the hero do? Probably he would save the victims and protect them while the enemies keep coming…Yeah, as if I would ever do something so troublesome! They aren’t calling me the demon lord for no reason. I suppose I’ll just shoot the victim and be done with it.

Nero Zero
Monsters plagued the lands for too long. No matter if one had fangs, beak, teeth, skin, fur, or feather, or was tall, stout, or diminutive, the people suffered. Until the Gadgeteers came with a device that could allow people to fight back. Powered by one's own magical power, feeding off of monster Essence, the Arbitrium bracer turned the tables. It also changed society. Strength of one's level cap was all that mattered. The strongest were Kings and Emperors. The weak or those too poor to afford the marvelous device, destitute. And so it has been for millennia. All that mattered was one's level cap. High, low, a fate decided the moment the strange contraption came alive. Too high and you were a threat to those interested in keeping the status quo, a weed to be nipped before it could grow and take root. Too low and you were nobody, fated to be a bit more than a simple farmer. What if someone, somewhere, came up with a zero for their level cap? Unable to use Essence, unable to level up. On all of recorded history, it never happened. Until it did. In a small village of fur-less and tail-less ape-beastkin, a boy found out he was uniquely handicapped. Nero's level cap was Zero. But he'd never let that stop him from reaching his goals. ------------------------------------------------ All stories have already been told. We merely reuse elements from them. From Joseph Campbell's Monomith to Stephen King's advice, and that encyclopedia of tropes you've visited, fiction has been dissected and reassembled countless times. One will surely find elements inspired on other works here. Just like cooking from basic ingredients, the recipe and presentation is what really matter. This is a fantasy adventure, of someone that goes from a zero to a slightly bigger zero. It will have romance but no harem. Cruelty but with hope dimly shining ahead. Lightweight where it can be, heavy where it must. Thanks for reading. Cover Credits (The cover is CC-BY-NC-SA): Steampunk Spider Bracer, by Daniel Proulx.

Primal Adaptation
The story of a little soul that ends up tangled in the games and bets of entities that utilize beasts of any primordial planet as a game avatar to make the Perfect Primal. This tale is not only its story because it will also share its destiny with the entity that will help it in its journey, and together they will rise from their particular situations one way or another. Primal Adaptation is a history with some RPG elements in it, but the MC can't look at a status screen or skill page because it's a beast through and through. I have implemented an evolution system for all the creatures of this story, where they grow or mutate depending on what they consume. In this tale, you won't find a Deus ex machina to give the protagonist power-ups. Everything must be learned and comprehended before its use unless it's something it gets immediately, or the abilities get understood by instinct. In essence, it is survival and gambit for opportunities, be it from one MC or the other.
