"Well, that was informative," Cable mumbled. There was some inconsistency, but the Environment.dat sensors seemed to line up closely with a human's five senses. At least, there were correlations to sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste. No human he was aware of outside fantasy was able to see in the UV spectrum. Still, they were relatively similar, and easily within the capabilites of the human race to develop machines for.
"Let's try upgrading Optics to include EMSpectrum.cam, then see what we can see."

Warning: High level Anomaly found in proximity to dungeon core! (3 meters below)
Recommend: Cautious Investigation
A light show of brilliant colours lit up the space Cable and Nova shared inside their dark little world. It wouldn't be accurate to say any colours humans are familiar with to describe the spectacle, as they were outside the visible wavelengths of light. Still, they were perceived by Cable and Nova as colours, and lots of them too. Similar to how there are no words to describe things never conceived before, no words could properly describe the wonderful, marvellous sight they beheld together.

Bewildered, Nova gaped at all the triangular screens and their paneled views of the outside world. Her jaw fell, exposing her admiration of the true beauty around them. "Wow... so pretty!" was all she could say as she squealed in delight.
Cable, however, was more interested in the area on display 3 meters below their levitation place. A blurry, bright line ran through the middle of the point indicated by the system. A few other blurry bright lines showed up to the side and a bit of movement caught his eyes - the lines were vibrating, similar to a plucked guitar string.
"Nova, I think I found why we're floating," Cable quietly observed. "See those blurry lines that are brighter than the rest? I think they're high voltage power lines. See how they're vibrating? That's power, if ever I saw a vibrating magnetic field."
"Okay, so there are power lines below us. How do we get them to be our power source, and why does that mean we float?" Nova queried. "Wait wait wait, you're not going to tap into them directly are you? That would be suicide! We may have a heavy power supply, but it's not meant to handle thousands of Volts and Amps!"
"No, I was going for a much milder solution, we're going to tap into them remotely. We build a core-mounted transformer, and that should be enough as long as we don't move too far away from the source. As for why we float, I think that's because we're made from a diamagnetic material - that is, we're repulsed by magnetic fields, no matter their polarity. With your permission?"
"Are you sure it's safe? We're not going to blow up?"
"Absolutely. We're 3 meters away from the lines, there's bound to be heavy insulation around them along with a fair amount of shielding, and there will be absolutely no physical contact. All we need is a few coils of wire to pick up the free power."

"Then, be careful... we're in this together."
"Absolutely. Upgrade.evo options."

Apocalypse Wow
If you are reading this you have lost your memory. Again. You dumb jerk. I have no interest in writing our life story - it’ll come back to you. For now, this is what’s up: 1. We are looking for a god named Tiger. 2. He can stop the apocalypse, but apparently does not know that. 3. If the apocalypse is ongoing, we haven't told him yet. Also, we believe that life is absurd, loving relationships make it worth living, and it's best to be our true self. Love Copycat (that’s our name dummy) What would happen if everyone had god-like powers? It’s gonna happen someday, we should plan for it. That’s what this book is for. Cheers!

The Dragon and the Treasure Hunter
After obtaining his first Class and linking into the System, nineteen-year-old treasure hunter Nate sees a person fall out of the sky. Upon investigating, he meets Drake, a dragon taken human form, who has come to his world with a mission: restore the planet's power and prevent all life on it from dying. While it seems like a great task to undertake, Drake quickly proves himself in need of a little help... finding out where the exit is. Deciding that regardless of if Drake is serious or not, traveling with the directionally-challenged dragon will give him opportunities to find new treasures and explore ancient Ruins. And so begins the journey of Nate and Drake on their quest to save the world. There will be five main arcs, with potential for two additional arcs after. Posting schedule: every fifth day (may increase later).

Domination
The end of times as we know it came as the whole world becamed engulfed with monsters. Nations fell one by one as mythical creatures razed everything to the ground. To make matters worse, the world that had already been tamed through human innovation reverted back to its original wild state as various human technology disappeared off the face of the world. Fortunately, the RPG system that came with the apocalypse allowed all humans to level up and exceed the strength limits of their race. From the ashes of the old world, heroes like the Dragon Lord and the Steel Empress rises up as they protected and ruled over what remained of humanity from the destruction. Regardless of whether they were cunning or strong or just plain lucky, there was no doubt that these heroes are people who have the power to fight against millions. To many, they are the beacon of hope in such dark times as they represented the strongest potential of humanity. Orginally, Alex had nothing to do with this world, but an accident from the future thrusted him right into the very center of this world's conflict. --- Just your normal cliche post-apocalyptic RPG story with an edgy MC. Expect overpoweredness and wish-fulfillment.

The Rift of Syn Doa
Every twenty-six years a rift opens, connecting the Ursei and Shirrah realms. Inside that rift, a magical ore can be found and harvested. This magical ore is capable of granting magic to any species or extraordinary abilities to crafted goods. Both realms fight fiercely over the rare substance, but war is not the only danger. The Doa Shrykes, feral monsters with a voracious taste for blood, await them inside the rift as well. This is a WIP, and subject to change, reorder, and future edits. Upon completion, there is intent to publish. Cover art will change as well. Any suggestions/recommendations, comments, rearrangements, etc. are much appreciated, since I'm trying to beat this into shape and have it be the best it can be. :D
