《A Misleading Shell》The Point of View of ???
Advertisement
The POV of ???:
It was a casual day like any other.
[Operation started.]
A metallic voice sounded in my head.
[Taking control of the host.]
It said something in a language I didn't understand.
[The game is still in the preparation period. Authority not fully acquired.]
I noticed that I wasn't able to control my body anymore.
I couldn't move.
I could only have thoughts.
It's been a couple of weeks since this weird 'System' as it calls itself had taken control of me. I just turned 8 years old today, my family were celebrating my birthday. This 'System' has perfectly replaced me, it can imitate my personality, my habits and even the way I talk. Thus, no one has noticed anything out of the ordinary about me.
I felt despair and was scared at first however I'm just bored now. It's like I'm living my life normally but instead of having to move my body and do the things I need to do, someone else was doing it for me.
After some months of living with System, I learned some words from the language it was using, not many, but I could understand it better.
Today System acted weird. It was something about 'Variable'
[Variable detected. Variable detected.]

...
[Not enough authority to execute Death sentence.]
'System' repeated this cycle over and over again over the next hours, I could feel his urgency despite his cold voice.
I was happy about it, he was finally suffering a bit. I have been taken control of for a long time. Whoever this 'Variable' is, they could be my saviour.
[The target is gaining resistance to mental attacks.]
[It is estimated to be better to stop executing commands.]
[Variable threat level is exceeding calculations.]
...
[Used too much energy; going into hibernation]
I can finally move on my own! Whoever this 'Variable' is, thank you!
Is it over?
And the answer to that question is... No.
[Main story beginning; authority fully acquired.]
No! Why again!
[Chapter one: A Bloody Massacre: Guiding demonic beasts to protagonist 1's village.]
[Protecting protagonist 1.]
[Reinacting trauma; killing protagonist 1's parents to maximize hatred towards demonic beasts.]
[Chapter one of the story requirements complete.]

Alviona (undergoing Rewrite).
This fiction is going to undergo severe Editing and a Rewrite over next few months. Here is what it hopes to accomplish: 1) Fix the glaring issues from Style in every chapter 1-31 (Dialogues, POV switches and Head-hopping too much) 2) Add some new chapters in and justify the development between Sofia and Anita 3) Remove the info dumps and make it more organic 4) Finalize the genres that this fiction belongs to 5) Create warning in the synopsis relating to the contents of the fiction. 6) Overhaul and show what Mira's view on Alviona is (slowly) 7) Introduce new characters 8) Show chapters the way they were intended, as clues apparently were not visible at all! 9) Make Alviona a bit more serious. 10) Make me (Author) enjoy reading my own work more (yes! :)) Hi. I have been gone for quite a long while. With heart surgery and such that has happened two months ago, I had not had a chance to log on RR due to being hospitalized. I had some other issues that the admins were kind enough to deal with on this fiction. It's good to see everything in one piece. The synopsis has been removed. Chapter 1 should be coming out sometimes before christmas. A lot has changed. I hope for the better. Instead of edits, I have re-read every single chapter and found it to be unsatisfying. A lot did not make sense and unless you have previously speculated what Alviona is, many things she does won't fall into pieces. Well then, time to address all of this. Ladies and gentlelmen, this fiction is undergoing a full scale re-write. While the characters and developments stay the same, it's being done differently. So much that the world should feel darker as it should have been. For those who have stuck around and know the story: Awesome. I worked hard on this, and hope that you will like my re-write. For thos that are new: Welcome. Give me some time, as I am super sluggish. I don't know much time is some time, but I gurantee chapter 1 will be up before Christmas. This said, again, thank you and know that I am back. And that this fiction will be completed. AT ANY COST. I will update synopsis after I post chapter 1. I might post Alviona (revised, as this current one is far too.... simplified, watered down, and dissapointing version of it) seperately. Those that want this, here. But I don't want to add chapter 40. It won't make sense without the backup and world-building of re-write. It will piss myself off. Now then, let's write hm? *This beautiful piece of art is provided by Charee from DeviantArt* https://www.deviantart.com/chalii

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Dwarf While Trapped in a Dungeon Full of Spiders
Thousands of years ago, mankind would honor their dead and their journey to the afterlife through the process of mummification. The elaborate tombs and burial rituals marked our transition from hunter-gatherers to civilizations and empires. However, it's been over 500 years since we've sent tributes to the underworld, and now the underworld, or whatever lies beyond, has decided to send something back. Authors Note- This story is inspired by DnD, Dark Souls, Guild Wars 1, and my love of eldritch horror and dark creepy dungeons. Also completed doesn't mean end of the line. There is more Mike Sammons in the future, promise.
