《Enigma's Multiverse (Rewritten, link in description)》Chapter 2- The Choice V2
Advertisement
The booming noise got faster and faster, till all that was left was unintelligible gibberish. Though he did manage to hear some more snippets, something about changing local flora and fauna and contacting cultivator clans, whatever in the lord's name that was.
Suddenly, the voice stopped. The piercing pain in his eyes was gone. Tim was terrified of what would welcome him when he opened his eyes, would it be some psycho internet prankster or had someone found out his identity and come to abduct him for ransom money?
Instead, he was in a white room. A completely white room, with no visible exit. He thought he was hallucinating, but the piercing pain in his eyes earlier was definitely real.
Either he was in a coma, or Tim really was the first man in the world to make extraterrestrial contact. The voices from before seemed to indicate the latter.
[Welcome to the Multiverse, Timothy Quill, Young Master of the Quill Trading House.]
[ The Multiverse is vast and boundless, with many different races from a multitude of different planets all united under the banner of the system. When a new planet is discovered, the incorporation process begins and it is inducted into the Multiverse! However, as a few hundred thousand years has passed since the inception of the system and multiple universes incorporated, the difficulty and distance involved in the discovery of a new planet has vastly increased. Each new planet discovered is a cause for celebration!
Earth will be directly incorporated to a Domain Controller level planet as reparations for late induction!
Each human on Earth will be granted Initiate (Early Stage) level cultivation!
Do not blame the system for what is to come, had the heretics found this planet first it would be naught but dust and rubble.]

" Wow. WOW. Guess it's really aliens. And what in tarnation is cultivation. " said Tim, shocked at the sheer size and magnitude of the multiverse. Jesus Christ, multiple universes. He couldn't even begin to imagine the sheer scale of that. Humans barely managed to get to the moon in their entire history. Wait a second... Moon?
"Does that mean the solar system is a part of the multiverse as well? Even the moon and the sun?" Tim asked, shocked at the implications that would carry.
[ No, planets without sentient life are not incorporated into the multiverse ]
" Haha, suck it conspiracy theorists. There are no aliens on the moon, ya twat waffles. " chuckled Tim out loud at the irony of his dumb joke.
The screen that had materialized out of thin air was now blinking, as if urging him to press on it immediately. He did.
[Congratulations on your first steps towards the path of immortality! You have reached the Initiate (Early stage) level. In accordance with the progenitor's will, humanity will be granted a fair chance to rise and flourish in the multiverse.
However, a chance is all it is! The strong will prosper and the weak will suffer, only through trials by fire can a rough gem become a shining diamond. To cower and hide in fear or to stand and slaughter your way to greatness- The choice is yours; May the progenitor light your path, cultivator.]
As he pressed further, another message popped up.
[You have been teleported to a spatial pocket while Earth's remodelling is being completed. Earth's sparse concentration of the spiritual energies of all creation was unable to support cultivation. It has been upgraded. All forms of foriegn technology that is unable to support the spiritual energies of all creation have been destroyed. ]

"So all forms of modern communcations and weaponry is dead, huh. No more internet? I didn't even get to see Defence of Titan's final season man, fuck you."
[As a corrective measure for Earth's population being unable to cultivate until now, you are offered any 1 of the following 4 rewards:
1. A set of Intiate level cultivation pills, enchanted robes and a choice of weapon (Sword, saber, axe, mace, etc.)
2. A five level one-time boost; to be on par with the average level of a recently integrated planet. Earth's concentration of spiritual energy being at such sparse level is not unheard of, but still rare in the multiverse for a new integration. However, the world spark was intact, allowing the system to proceed with upgrades.
3. A mythical beast procured randomly from the myriad worlds of the Multiverse of unknown rank or the offspring of a creature that is unable to cultivate, it is up to your own good fortune. Fortune favours the strong!
4. An opportunity to ask the system one question and get a named weapon of your choosing! However, if you select this option you will immediately be teleported to a trial by fire, where you will either die a gruesome death or have a chance to stand at the pinnacle of humanity!
Make your choice: 2 H 59 M left. Beware the invaders, time runs short!]

Living in Paradise
The first thing I saw when I woke up was a group of people standing over me shouting "Happy Birthday!!!". Immediately after they start debating what type of world I came from and calling me 'William'. Later on I would learn that everyone here is reborn from another world and many children come with magic or superpowers or other gifts leftover from their old lives. I came from a world that was, to me, typical modernity. To them it was pretty boaring with the only thing interesting about my world being was a higher than average tech level for a non-spacefaring civilization; technology that wouldn't even work in this new world. All I brought with me was a peculiar mindset and the strong suspicion that there must be something more to life. Once everyone started to clear out my mother took me up in her arms, explained how the world works, and then stabbed me in the neck with a knife. I got better. -------------------- This story was written from the central idea of a simple question: What if a videogame like world, with all the normal video-game staples and tropes, was actually a real world? How would that work? How would people understand the universe around them? What sort of weirdness would the world appear to have from the point of view of someone who recognizes the odd nature of the place? And finally, if left to its own devices, how would this type of world ultimately develop?

"Humanity is on the cusp of their Great Expansion. It will be the first time in history that they’ve reached beyond their own solar system in an attempt to colonize the galaxy. Or, at least, so they thought. Peeling back the veil of time, The Empire of Sol has uncovered vestiges of a secret genetic program on the far flung planet of Hod. The advent of the Empire’s ancient enemy could upset the careful balance of power throughout in the Sol System. When Hod is invaded by the Empire, Andros Aeton is pressed into their service and his people are held hostage. Unbeknownst to him, factions within the Empire vie to use him to their own ends. He must claim his heritage if he has any hope of escaping the clutches of the forces that seek to use him." This is a work in progress. Major editing will be done after the book is complete, so there will be egregious typos and parts that make no sense whatsoever. Please feel free to point any and all of these things out. Chapters WILL get edited, and that editing might break earlier chapters. I will attempt to keep readers apprised of all changes. As always, feedback is welcome and appreciated.

World Labyrinth
Meet our hero: an average young man with an average life, who ended up dying while working an average job. However, he's a given a chance to see another world at the final crossroads of his old life. The catch... well... he knows there's one. There always is. But, hey, when you're about to die, you take whatever opportunity's provided to you. This is the young man's story in the new world as he learns he can't afford to be average anymore. AUTHOR'S NOTE: I've decided to put this note up due to some comments and ratings left for this ORIGINAL FICTION complaining its boring. This story starts slow and it takes time for things to pick up. Also the MC doesn't start off as superman or become superman magically in two chapters. He also is AVERAGE... so it takes time to build up his character. Starting chapter 14 or so things pick up, but this isn't a pure hack and slash and skills level up story like most of the FF on this site. Just giving you a warning, so you don't end up disappointed and end up having to post large paragraphs complaining about the story... I also post on average every TWO OR THREE DAYS, so you'll get more to read.

The Qi to Immortality
The Golden Rule of transmigration into a xianxia world is not to get involved in the affairs of important characters. Death follows them, bearing down on the ordinary people they interact with. For months Zhao Mi has managed to abide by this self imposed rule, making a living as an Assistant Admissions Disciple for the Misty Cradle Sect. When a misstep with a young master places him in the sights of a heartless clan intent on saving face, the only viable solution is to invert the Golden Rule. To surround himself with enough important characters that their fortune bleeds into Zhao Mi’s humble life. Walking such a path will require surviving violence, navigating politics, and unraveling conspiracies. The otherworldly knowledge he possesses might give Zhao Mi a chance at emerging unharmed. Whether his modern soul can weather the immorality of life in Jianghu is another matter.
