《A Man Led by the Heart of Another World》Pain Threshold
Advertisement
— Before I go on, do you know about the Big Bang Theory? I don't want to delve into my memory for nothing.
Moreover, it causes me a certain discomfort, if not to say "pain".
— Are you referring to the suggestion of a suspect in an unsolved case of an attempted murder of a member of an aristocratic family of the Golden Demon noble line? Judging by the information I absorbed, the T'ruk was not killed by the explosion, since it was not at all in its estate Bright Ognevki. At the time, he was busy at the appointment with...
— Okay, okay, I get it, you don't know.
Really, how could the Heart know that?
— But...
— This is completely different!
And the one who set off that beautiful explosion that blew apart the red brick castle, along with all the surrounding buildings, was none other than me! Heh-heh. It's a pity that I'll never be able to do it again...
— Can you... copy some knowledge from my memory? Specifically, terms related to astronomy, astrophysics, quantum physics, and cosmology?
— Done.
「IMPRESSIVE.」
What? So easy, with no effort at all? That was fast! Wait a minute, though ... HEY!
— You copied my knowledge of the Big Bang Theory, didn't you?
— I thought you were going to tell me about it right now.
— ...
— Please.
「WONDERFUL.」
Wonderful, isn't it? A magical energy pump from the center of the planet, with self-awareness! The most remarkable phenomenon of the Universe after its very beginning! Yes, damn it...
I want my lungs back, *whine*. Wait, what's a "whine"?! I live... lived... How long have I lived? Well, more than a hundred years, for sure. I'm not allowed to "whine"!
— Okay, I will tell you everything now. Moreover, I will tell you about your origin, but on one condition.

— What is the condition?
— Do not interrupt me.
Yes, I am very bad. I interrupt, and I demand not to interrupt. Perhaps we should continue.
「SURELY.」
What are you doing here anyway? Ah, whatever.
The Observer trembled even at the very suggestion of what this point might be. Limitless power lurked in the limitlessly tiny object. And in an instant... No, much, much faster, all that power unleashed! The beauty of the event called the Big Bang struck the Observer more strongly than an RPG-7 strikes a automobile. The whole Universe was created by the Big Bang. Emerged matter immediately began to expand the bubble of the Unive-...
— For what reason, or for what purpose, did you stop?
F███ all this! It's so f███ing hard! My... mine... Ah, blyat! I don't even have a brain, but it still f███ing hurts! HOW?!
— Just copy my knowledge related to the concept of the "generally accepted Big Bang Theory". This way, it will be much easier for me :) (telepathic emoticon).
— Then, how are you going to tell me about my origin?
How? Just like th-...! Blyat! BBT doesn't explan emergence of the Heart...
— Well, I'll have to overcome this pain for that...
— Pain? Do you take mental damage while you analyze your memory, trying to make a coherent narrative that would touch on all aspects of the origin of the Universe in the form in which it exists now?
It is tactless, but at the same time... How insightful! Oh, why can't it always be like this? Somebody get me out of here!
— Yes, exactly. As always, you're quite insightful, Heart.
I cannot be rude to a phenomenon like the Heart of the World. It makes me feel like a scum, like something I've always tried to avoid turning into. Even if I didn't always succeed.

「WHEN DID YOU?.」
Shut up. You are not supposed to be here at all. Mh? The Heart sends some "jammed" signals.
— Being astonished by your sudden return, I completely forgot about the fact that souls must be protected from fragmentation before starting a dialogue, otherwise...
— I know what will be "otherwise".
What is this "otherwise"? What is so terrible that even the Heart does not immediately inform about it (although I already know this)? And in general, how could it FORGET?! It is simply impossible.
— In any case, I need to stop for a while to rest, I think.
— I see... :(
A telepathic sad emoticon from the bottom of the Heart looks pretty heartbreaking. Well, I was also annoyed that I could not find out the continuation of some story "right now".
As I just "chilling" here, I can see all the souls and energy passing through the Heart of the World. Oh, now I remember what it reminds me of: the rivers that flow into the realm of dead — Hades. I cannot interact with these soul.
I do not want to, by the way. And don't You dare either, do You hear me?

Rise of the Firstborn
[A participant in the Royal Road Writathon Challenge]As the inhibitor rises and the eternal flame is quenched, our lands shall be freed, and only then will the Princess be set to flee. It began with ice. A relentless, bone-chilling tickle of frost that stretched across the lands of Axulran, crawling over the mountain crests and freezing the grassy meadows. Frozen in time, the kingdom fought for political control all across the region of Ellixus, paying no mind to the death and torment they may cause along the way. Cateline Bennett, a princess consumed with ice, found herself lost in a foreign kingdom with nothing but her wits to survive. As she explores this unknown land, she unravels her past and discovers that the magic she had concealed for so long could unleash chaos so intense, it could destroy the world as she knew it. With her untapped magic and new friends, Cateline must vanquish the enemies that threatened the world of Denzethea as they knew it, else they, and all they knew, would crumble to ruin. NOTE: A review on this fiction has indicated that certain themes were traumatizing. While I believe this to be exagerated, I have added the appropriate tag for those who may be sensitive to those themes (fever dreams, delusions, and trials and tribulations).

Metagame
Some people get a second chance, late in life, and jump on it. Other people are on their third before they turn twenty. One was given everything they wanted, and threw it away on principle. One earned their place, but could never afford to pay the price. One never failed, right up until it mattered. One encountered nothing but failure, instead helping others achieve success. One never believed themselves worthy. One is crushed by the past, afraid of what might repeat itself. And the last never had a goal to begin with. But while nobody cared and no one was watching, they each decided to carry on in their own ways, even when that made things worse- and they did, usually, get worse. Arrows Through Reality, often called Arrows or ATR, is the world's first full-immersion Virtual Reality game, a MOBA by Granduon incorporated that didn't blow its competition out of the water, but did provide a new entry point that had millions trying their new game. Two years later, the player base has only grown, and everybody knows the most effective tactics... but while a cutting-edge AI supposedly runs the game's balance, it hasn't patched anything a single time. Well, the most effective way to do anything is subjective, right?

Colossus of Catastrophe
A world where he's stuck in a game like setting. Sign him up! Except that Lazarus found himself stuck in a cave with nothing but glowing crystals and the skittering of rats. And according to the glowing blue box he'd been affected by unforeseen circumstances and transported to the world of Zara. What the hell was that?! He didn't like caves at all! He didn't get any powers! Only this blue box fixed in front of him... Hello this book will be a lit-rpg in a fantasy world. It will be primarily action and adventure. I dislike characters who get tied down and suckered, so if your looking for kingdom building or large interpersonal relations this isn't it. There will be some but it won't be the focus. He will be somewhat of an antihero but more in the sense that Lazarus will be free. I'm not the most experienced writer, but I would love feedback to improve. Thank you for reading!

Dispatches from the Inter-galactic
Dispatches From The Inter-Galactic is a series of loosely related satirical stories which take place in a galaxy full of various interstellar civilizations and numerous space faring species generally described as consentients. This series is set in a galaxy which take place in a similar but not entirely unlike the galaxy in which my series Up in Space takes place While there are numerous themes related to interstellar life, several of the stories directly relate to specific themes such as; The pan-galactic ramifications to the use of supersymetrical energy sources (often drained from intera-located alternate and pocket realities.) the use of which by most interstellar civilizations is steadily increasing the overall amount of Dark Matter. This is increasing the mass of the galaxy and results in the occasional rips in inter-dimensional space as well as an overall increase in supernova activity. It is also speeding up the approach of the galaxy in Andromeda, which is of concern to several long lived civilizations; The Morphoids, a race of shape-changing consentients who are capable of using the space lanes created by the use of supersymetrical sourced energy to spread throughout the galaxy. They are currently viewed as threat number one by many space-faring species; and Xeno and exo-sexuality, as many species try to figure out what sort of enjoyment they can have with many of the species they encounter in space (only some of which are carbon-based, or more rarely, humanoid in appearance). This also relates to the altering of species to make reproduction somewhat easier for those with rather complicated lifestyles. A major force in this area of pursuit is the galactic visiteering industry, which promotes the ‘uplifting’ of more primitive planet-bound near-consentients.
