《Binary Progression》Volume 3 - Chapter 40: Memory dude

"They have toilets!" Alex exclaimed, he walked out of the bathroom looking refreshed.
"Good for them!" John exclaimed.
He was sitting on a leather couch, eating a packed lunch prepared by Steve the skeleton.
"I have no clue how the mad-man did it, but he managed to have fresh egg-salad in the desert," said John eating a triangular sandwich with the crusts removed.
"Guys! Shouldn't we be concerned with him!?" Jordan demanded gesture towards the silver-haired man.
"Oh, don't worry about me! I'm just glad I could be of assistance!" exclaimed the silver-haired person.
"While we're on the topic... who are you?" asked John.
"Who or what I am is not important... hmm... you could call me a traveller!... hmm... and... I am just here to... find souvenirs!"
"Souvenirs?" asked Alex.
"Yes..."
"Like... fridge magnets or?"
"Memories, my friend... memories!"
"That's... really creepy..." Jordan said looking at the silver-haired man.
"Relax... I know I must seem suspicious - but I assured you I wish for nothing else than to exist in this world and return to my one when I'm satisfied with the memories I made!" he explained.
"...as creepy as the memory-man is, I don't think he's a problem..." John replied.
"I'm glad you feel that way! Even just talking to you three is thrilling!"
"Wait, once you leave... will another soul be sucked into the silver-haired guy?" asked John.
"I'll collapse the soul-vacuum before I leave, that way this body will simply decompose!" he assured them.
The silver-haired man stood up and stretched his back.
"Now, if you excuse me, I'll go see what the outside looks like!" exclaimed the silver-haired man barely able to hide his excitement.
The three watched the suspicious man walk down the stairs and out onto the streets where he proceeded to feel up every brick and every wall.

"I hope I never see him again," Alex admitted.
"Yeah, I'm starting to feel I opened pandoras soul-vacuum..." John sighed.
A long while of silence filled the room, nobody wanted to say anything.
John has perma-killed someone, were they a good person, probably not, though he had no way to know that.
"I need to be careful... I'm not going to pretend I'm all that heartbroken about a stranger dying... I'll just try and avoid that in the future." thought John.
John reached into Steve's basket and pulled out a thermos of warm tea, he poured some into a cup provided by the silver-haired man and drank from it.
"What would the others do in this situation?" thought John.
"Crown would say: What are you, retarded? Make a business of perma-killing people no matter their XP death penalty!"
"Bromy would say: Use it for some experiments..."
"Bonifacius would say: An inhumane skill like that should never be used!"
"Foxly... ehh... "
"Pedecree would probably have some comment about food to make... or something..."
"Christ it's been three volumes and I have no idea what Pedecree is like..." John thought slightly panicked.
"What if he doesn't like me? Is it because I'm undead? He's a wolf-man! I bet he can smell the rot!" JohnWillStab continued to spiral down into even greater panic.
Meanwhile, Alex and Jordan also had some tea.
"So, Alex - do you plan to get out of this world?" asked Jordan.
"Nah, this place is paradise for someone like me." he laughed.
"So you're the same as him..." Jordan sighed.
"Maybe I'm the weirdo here?" he asked.
"I think we're all different brands of weirdness in this world." Alex laughed.
"You'd think living in a world where you can be killed on a daily basis would be hell... but honestly, I think I'd rather stay here until I die of old age." he laughed.

"That'd be nice..." Jordan sighed.
"Why do you need to go back anyway? Surely your family would be happy that you found a cool place like this!" Alex offered.
"It's not that they'd be happy for me..." Jordan began.
"I have a sick brother back home, if the doctors aren't full of crap, he won't make it another year, so I wanted to be there for his birthday, y'know?"
Alex nodded.
"I was content living on earth, dealing with college work and expanding my coin collection, it's just not fair I'm the one who got isekaid and made healthy and all but immortal... it's not even my character," he said, his voice beginning to quiver.
"Sounds like flawed logic to me." Alex finally replied.
"What do you mean?"
"So... you got isekaid instead of your brother... and you decided that the reasonable thing to do is leave?" asked Alex.
Jordan looked at him blankly for a while, unsure of what he was saying.
"Wouldn't it make more sense to try and get your brother into this world rather than get you out in time for a funeral?" asked John.
"Uhmm... I mean, is that even possible?" asked Jordan.
"That kind of reasoning hasn't stopped you before!" John exclaimed before turning to Thal.
"Is it possible to bring someone into this world?" asked John.
"...I ...I wouldn't know..." he replied.
"..."
"The only person that can reliably bring someone into this world is Lorb." Thal finally said.
"Lorb? He's too busy playing god, right now..." John replied.
"Hold on a minute! The memory-guy!" John exclaimed.
As if by miracle, the silver-haired man walked up the stairs that exact moment.
"Hey, silver-haired-guy! Is it possible to bring someone from earth into this world?" asked John.
"No." he replied plainly.
"..." JohnWillStab scratched his head.
"Crap... there has to be a way..."
"It's not an absolute zero chance... but it is unlikely..."
"The rules forbid me from saying much more... but the soul you're looking for is closer than you think!" exclaimed the silver-haired man looking at Jordan.
"Rules?" asked John.
"I wouldn't want to derail your timeline too much." he laughed.
JohnWillStab suddenly had an epiphany.
"I have a plan!" JohnWillStab exclaimed.
"What is it?" asked Jordan.
"Once we overthrow the Eropire and get my dick back, we'll pay a certain hoodie-wearing friend a visit..." JohnWillStab explained.
"Hoodie wearing?" asked Jordan.
Meanwhile in hell...
Satan sat by his fireplace and sneezed suddenly.
"Oh crap, looks like somebody's talking about me again..." he wiped his nose with his sleeve and continued reading the large book he held on his lap.

A Virtual Invasion
An invasion from another dimension is shut down by an Empire's traitor and the world has a scant few decades to build the strength to resist a multidimensional Empire. How will the world fair when no one even knows its doom is one barred gate away? Fortunately, the traitor has a plan. Maybe with a bit of luck and planning, he can build a force to defend the world without anyone realizing it. Author's Thoughts: What is litRPG (From wikipedia) - LitRPG, short for Literary Role Playing Game, is a literary genre combining the conventions of MMORPGs with science-fiction fantasy novels.[1] LitRPG is a literary genre where games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story. A LitRPG work simultaneously narrates the story of characters inside and outside of the game-world. At least some of the characters in a LitRPG novel therefore understand that they are playing a game: they are 'meta-aware'. So, while Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel, a book about people creating avatars and interacting in a Lord of the Rings MMORPG would be a LitRPG novel.Why do I read them? You know, I am not too sure. I love MMOs. I played them, quit them, joined up and repeated the cycle. They are fun! They are a massive waste of time but so are most games. Do I want to read about someone else playing them? Sort of?The advent of VR and the possibility of VR someday becoming so immersive that you can't tell them from reality sets the imagination on fire. What if this could be life? But most stories fall short. At the end of the day the protagonist hangs up his VR helmet and goes to have dinner with his mom and dad or other family and it becomes meaningless. It's like the story that ends because the main character woke up and nothing you read matters.There have been some books that explore the concept of the intersection of reality and total immersion VR. Enders Game is a classic. There were a few others that escape me but they exist, however, the cross between the game and reality is weak.So what if the game was real? The technology needed for total immersion VR is so advanced that by the time we reach that goal technology should have naturally evolved to include several items. You must have direct neural input. You simply can't have a total immersion (all senses and perfect presence) experience without this basic prerequisite. If you have direct neural access, you can probably do neat things like feed knowledge and skills directly to that person. You can undoubtedly do many horrible things as well. Muscles are controlled by the brain. If you control the brain why would you let the body just sit there and rot? A person that sits unmoving for 24 hours a day will have their body whither away just like a coma patient. However, if you control the brain you could control the muscles. On a basic level, this would be isometric impulses, working muscle group against muscle group to avoid atrophy. Taken to its logical conclusion you would be able to gain muscle mass and program muscle memory. The flip side is that you could remote control their body... but let's not go there. So what would people do if it were real? Well, they would probably limit and regulate it since the drawbacks are very obvious. Even if you look at the basic aspects of this you can see some negative possibilities. Look at the Sword Art Online anime. Personally, I think they missed the boat by putting a bomb in the VR helmet. Do you really need a bomb when you have direct access to the brain?So what kind of events would you need to have a situation where the obvious drawbacks haven't been explored? Maybe a society where the advancement of technology has so far outstripped the explorations of its applications that ignorance was truly bliss? Okay, so I had to put in an alien invasion to kickstart the premise, but that was just one of the possibilities.

The Flesh and Blood Dungeon
This is not the usual dungeon core story. I did not originally plan to make it humorous, but, well, you'll see. This fiction will not turn into a story about a bunch of adventurers who enter a giant boars anus looking for treasure. No promises tho.

The Cursed Imperial Heart
In a world divided into different social classes, a nameless girl starts her journey rather tiring than most kids. Abandoned by her parents, she became a servant at a very young age to a wealthy noble family--the Brotillon, a family of powerful water elementals. Whose head is a well known Viscount. Though the girl was born with shiny brown hair and sparkling brown eyes, it was for that reason that she became a laughing stock to those around her. With no one to turn to for support, she swore to learn how to use magic no matter what! But as each day goes by, the beatings and humiliation got worse and worse. Finally had enough, she lashed out screaming! Done with the world she lived in! Done with her life! Only to faint out of exhaustion afterwards. Upon opening her eyes, she expected nothing more than an empty room with no one inside but her. However, it was the opposite! A room full off doctors and worried faces?! Indeed, she must have hit her head so hard when she fainted! She's probably just hallucinating, right?! But to her shock, it was all real! The Viscount who constantly beat her, patted her on the head?! The mistress who ridiculed her every chance she got, was worried?! Not just that, but----CRYING?! This continued for the next few weeks, and it looked like the 'situation' won't be stopping anytime soon. But she of all people knew, that it was all an act. But the question is, why? She screamed and lashed out at them, so why? Or perhaps, what she really needs to be asking are.... What REALLY happened before she fainted? What are they hiding from her? And lastly, Why are they suddenly interested in her eyes?
