《Eternity and Bones》first journey
Advertisement
Well, tomorrow is here. Today’s the day I leave on a quest to find out how to make a magic circuit! I’ve written a note for the innkeeper letting her know that I'll be gone for a long time, and that I'll definitely be back. Now I just have to find out where to go. Hey system, where should I look first?
{I believe heading east to the great Raughan desert would be the best option}
Gotcha! We’re going to the desert! Wait, which way is east again?
{would you like me to add a compass to your vision?}
You can do that?
{yes}
Yes! A compass would be very useful!
{understood}
Now! Onwards to the desert!
Ugh… are we close yet?
{you are [10.17]% of the way there}
Isn’t there any way we could go faster?
{perhaps try asking a traveling merchant to take you closer}
But we haven’t seen a traveling merchant for the entire journey so far, you expect to just randomly find one now?
{yes, because the reason I recommended asking a traveling merchant for assistance is because there is one right over there}
Huh? Wher- you’re right! Wait, how am I supposed to communicate with him?
{use a letter, like the one you gave to the innkeeper}
Ohhh right.
“Hm? You’re looking for a ride east? Sorry kid, but I'm a merchant, I ain't gonna help you unless you’re willing to offer something in return.”
Hm… something in return… I know! The innkeeper gave me some money for helping clean the inn! I can use that!
“Hm? Let’s see… yep this looks like enough. Hop on kid!”
Yes! Ride achieved!
“So, where’re ya headed, kid? The great Raughan desert? You sure you can survive there? That place is infamous for its deadly heat, ravenous monsters, and cruel thieves. I don’t think a kid like you can survive in a place like that.”

Wait, is that true? Monsters?! I’m scared of monsters! System! How could you tell me to go to a place infested with monsters?!
{I do not see a problem, you are strong enough to survive the monsters}
Huh? I am?
{of course, your defensive abilities are incredible for a mere skeleton monster}
Wait, really? Am I that good?
{no, I never said you would be able to fight back, I just said you would be incredibly hard to kill}
Oh…
“Oi kid, we’re stopping at this village for the night, so go rent a room at an inn!”
Ooh a village! I wonder what kind of books they have in the library?
Nothing. There’s nothing in the library. Are you kidding me?! What am I supposed to do while I wait for that old merchant if there’s no books to read!?
{detecting nearby unexplored ruins}
Ruins you say? This place might not be so bad after all!
{beware, these ruins appear to be completely submerged underwater}
That’s no problem for me! I’m a skeleton, after all! I don't need oxygen! Show me the way, system!
{understood}
Woah, they really are completely filled with water
{it would be wise to take off your armor before entering, as it could way you down}
Okay!
{also, due to you being a skeleton, it will be incredibly hard for you to maneuver yourself underwater}
Yeah yeah I'll keep it in mind.
{you are not listening to me}
Yep I'll be sure to remember that.
{sigh}
Let’s dive right in!
Woah! This thing is deep! Good thing I have system to help me see in the dark! Uh oh, a branching path already. System, which way should I go?
{left, the right path is trapped and leads to a dead end}
Thanks! Now, I wonder where the treasure is?

{warning: creature approaching from behind}
What?! System, if this is a joke it isn’t funny!
{no, I'm completely serious}
Find me the fastest way away from whatever it is that’s down here! Now!
{understood}
{route found, displaying}
System! That’s deeper in the ruin!
{yes, the creature is blocking the way back}
Then how am I supposed to get out!?
{...}
Great, not even you know how to get out. I’m screwed.
I’ve made it pretty deep now. I'm almost in the treasure room, but I'm not excited at all. Why? Because according to system that thing is still waiting for me up there. I only have 1 option, check the treasure and hope it’s something that could help me escape. Here we are. The treasure room. Well, only one thing left to do. T-this is-

The world traveler from the future
The world, under the guide of the System, was prospering. The Dungeons gifted untold riches to those brave enough to challenge them, and the System watched and helped those who were willing to complete its Quests. But not Charles. As soon as he appeared inside a dark cave, the system told him that he was an anomaly, that he was not worthy of its gifts. His mind was damaged. His AI companion was convinced that he was in a world of sword and magic. All around, schemers and manipulators tried to play their part in a story that was thousands of years old. Spanning entire planes and worlds. And yet, he only saw what he wanted to see. For a while, it worked. Slowly, but inevitably, it became impossible. The threat was too big to ignore, the evidence too strong. He was just a pawn in a game so large that it was impossible to comprehend. At its center, the System. The System was not what it seemed. It was a tyrant, or maybe just a tool created by someone or something so powerful that it could control entire worlds. And it had declared him its enemy.

The Rig Mechanist’s Maintenance Report
More than a generation had passed since the creation of a new type of weapon, one that outclassed anything else, but the creator put limits on the technology to prevent it from being used in aggressive combat. With the powerful humanoid weapons, rigs, there to stop battles from breaking out, new ways of taking land had to be developed. That led to the sport of rig combat; powerful weapons pitted against each other with countries betting land and resources on the outcome. But it wasn't just the machines and pilots that competed; the workers that ensured the rigs were able to fight had battles of their own. A mechanist's fight begins before the first shot is fired and their minds are their best weapons.

The Reborn Runesmith
We have all read stories about the reincarnated or portaled earthling going to the fantasy world and gaining a cheat and super abilities. This isn't one of those. The hero or villian here is just a smart guy who only gets to choose a few things like what he is and then given the ability to have mana. He doesn't even get to choose what kind of mana he gets it could be fire,water,air, etc. This world is different than ours. Gunpowder, medicines, and other things will probably not work or be availible. Who is to say that the beings of this new world will even have the same internal anatomy. These are all things our MC will have to discover. Just like our world you can be born with great genetics but if you are a lazy and undriven person nothing will come of it. This is my first attempt to write. There WILL be mistakes. I am a mathmatician not an english major so be prepared for questionable grammer and spellings. One of these days if I enjoy doing this I will get me an editor who did english instead of math and science.
