《Diary of an Insomniac》Night 7
Advertisement
Its 2:43 am and I haven't written for the past couple of days. The last two days have been the same, me sick. After I got over that headache I went to sleep. I don’t remember what kind of dream I had but I woke up crying. It really freaked me out. It felt real like one moment I'm under water and I can't breathe then the next moment I'm in my sheets. The bed was soaked from my sweat. That had woke me up an hour earlier than usual and I didn't feel like going back to sleep. I was a pretty out of it. I went through my usual routines at school. I drove through the traffic. Some girl flipped me off. Some guy couldn’t drive like a normal person because he was on the phone. I went to class and listened to some interesting environmental information that would probably be on the test. Afterward I went to my lab and presented some summaries to the lab assistant. Once the lab was finished I bid my lab partners adios and made my way home. The sun was setting and that weird twilight glow was out. The sky looked amazing and filled me with certainty that no matter what we humans do each other there will always be splendor. Even after leave the plant after we have made it inhospitable or we have either killed ourselves off, there will always be a sunset that covers the land in that trademark bizarre shine.
What a pleasant sunset. I see the red glow casting its mirror image on the ocean that stretches out to the horizon. The waves are not very lively today. No, they are peaceful as I am peaceful. I stare at the horizon attempting to see that which goes past it. I know that the globe is round and that all I'll be able to see is the sunlight being stretched around the curve of the world. I find it absolutely stunning. That the sky is given its color by the atmosphere and its refraction of the daylight. All the colors that make up the visible world come from such a slender window in the range of light waves. My body shudders and my hair rises up. There is beauty everywhere we look. This superb sight gives me great delight. It's just right, completely just right. I feel the muzzle pressed against the top of my neck. I will forever remember nature's dignity. They is, they is, they is.

Once darkness had covered the ground I arrived to my abode. I ate, watched TV, and did my homework. Now I'm in my bed that rests on the carpeting. I went to the bank today. There was a famous book critic in line. I tried to speak with him but as his critiques show he's not a very nice man. I'm looking at my journal and this should be my fifth entry. I've looked through the previous pages and there's some weird story for the past two days I didn't write. I'm worried I'm going crazy.

Crafting the Future (Magic & Tech Crafting)
He built and crafted with all his heart. Whether totemic nature magic, mechanical and alchemical factories, nanomachines, teleporters, alchemy, enchanting, mining, and farming, there were no ends. From the lowly stone age he moved reached levels of technology thought only imaginary and magic which made worlds quake. Things aren’t perfect though. Monsters and beasts fill the world, growing stronger by the day, a malignant force is ever present… And strange, bountiful ruins of all sorts remain scattered throughout the world, abandoned yet maintained by faithful servants. But what mattered most to Joey was the little black cube which not only redefined his worldview, but allowed him to transform the world into something utterly marvellous. The patreon linked to this account is not for this story. This story heavily focuses on crafting progression of both magic and tech, where in something is crafted to unlock a new resource or way to craft something better. Heavily influenced on games with such structure. As there is no backlog, chapter releases will be as written, which hopefully will be once a day but depends on progress made per day.

Patchwork System
Notification (cannot be ignored): For being the first being to kill another of its own species after Sublimation, Lyam Aldren is awarded the Title of Cain’s Successor. Let all fear the Kinslayer!!! Lyam Aldren, killer for hire, was just going about his business when he suddenly received a notification from something called the System. Apparently, the entirety of Earth, its denizens and its matter were transported into the world of the System, planted in 'patches' all throughout the infinite world. The world of the Patchwork System is one of challenges, where life is cheap, power is king, and Classes and levels are a thing. In a brutal world, there is perhaps room for a killer with bloodstained hands to find his own way, free of his past. However, his Title and his inherent nature plague him, his fragmented personality laid bare to those with the eyes to see, and if he doesn't become powerful enough to defeat or escape those who would use or destroy him, he will quickly be devoured by the merciless world created by the System. Compared to my previous work, this is a more 'classic' litrpg setup, with clear (if somewhat complex) progression through levels and skill gains, with a 'system apocalypse' setup. Unlike most system apocalypse story protagonists, Lyam is neither a leader nor is he particularly interested in saving his fellow Earthlings. This is a story of a man who is both endangered and set free by the destruction of his old world, as he finds both power, new discoveries, and adventure in a place where his past matters not at all and power is the only language most speak. Later in the story, there will be harem elements, but the first volume is dedicated to Lyam's first months in the System. For those who are more interested in the Heirs of the Hooded King, I am putting it on hiatus as I rework the setting and future story developments a bit.
