《Human Resources》Twenty-nine
Advertisement
Joe’s vision went totally black. He could not fight it any longer. Pain was a strong persuader. He could feel the gentle caress of the woman’s hands brushing his cheeks. She kissed him softly. “Let go, darling.”
He acquiesced.
The void filled with the colors of the rainbow, spiraling outward from the center like the film of a draining tub played backwards, climaxing with the psychedelic boom of a choir of angels as his world became pure light and music.
Images flashed through his mind, hundreds per second. Logos, products and pictures of unified families, all bundled together. Each and all caught up in the exhilaration of employment in the world’s greatest enterprise, where everyone held a stake. It began as a gentle tugging at his heartstrings and grew to encompass his whole being.
VirCorp, VirCorp above all
Above everything and myself
If only all could join hands,
As we do now, for her protection and defense.
From California to New York,
From Lisbon to Siberia and everywhere between,
VirCorp, VirCorp above all
Above everything in the world!
VirCorp employees, VirCorp fidelity,
VirCorp and its subsidiaries’ product line of refreshing beverages,
VirCorp and its RIAA protected song,
Shall retain in the whole world,
Their immortal high regard,
To inspire us to noble deeds
For the length of our lives.
VirCorp employees, VirCorp fidelity,
VirCorp and its subsidiaries’ product line of refreshing beverages,
VirCorp and its RIAA protected song!
Unity and justice and credit lines
For the VirCorp Family
For this let us all strive
Employee-ly, with heart in hand.
Unity and justice and credit lines
Is the pledge of status.
Blossom VirCorp Family!
He smiled enraptured, teeth reflecting the overwhelming light as he began to sing along heartily in this brave new world of warmth. “VirCorp employees, VirCorp fidelity.” In that moment he was, for the first time in his life, utterly fulfilled. “Employee-ly, with heart in hand, unity and justice and credit lines.”

The Infinite Labyrinth
(Story complete - Book 1 "Shanghaied", 2 "Shortcuts", 3 "Secrets" and 4 "Sanctions") It is the 19th century, and war smoulders between England and France. Any hope for a quick end to Napoleon's rampage across Europe ended when the Great Gates opened in 1800. For a fortunate few, the strange world of the Infinite Labyrinth offers opportunities, strange descriptors popping in their minds, informing them of growth, and status beyond that of a mere mortal. The materials and power crystal they bring back foster a new age, both military and civilian. Aether-powered Skyships prowl the skies, as all the great nations blessed by the Gates try to turn the blessings of the Labyrinth into immediate advantages. But for Jonas, an apprentice leatherworker, his friend Ira, and so many Londoners, the fabled ones that walk the Labyrinth are distant heroes, seen from afar. They fell short when their Potential was measured, and they fill their mundane lives with distant dreams. One man wants to break the stalemate. The Tyrant of the Dominion of France, Napoleon Bonaparte, has a plan. Eighteen years after the world changed, he will force it to change again. And when civilians are caught in the fallout, the unthinkable happens. Six people, unqualified, forbidden to ever enter the Labyrinth, find themselves stranded in a distant zone, forcefully turned into Professionals. They know little of what that means, but they have to figure out the rules that are now their lot, for they have little hope to escape their predicament otherwise. They need to understand what the descriptors in their minds mean, what each of the strange piece of gear waiting in treasure chests behind terrible guardians can bring them. They have to become Professionals on their own and rejoin the Empire. They will figure out their new lives one way or another. But will there be an Empire waiting for them when the Gates re-open? Caught in a clash of empires and high tiers, they will do what little they can. They will step up and do their best. One way or another. The Infinite Labyrinth is a slice-of-life litRPG adventure set in a real historical setting. It's a hard, crunchy litrpg. Expect blue boxes everywhere, and the system itself is very mathy. It started life as a serial. I prepared some proper worldbuilding, with enough details and background for lots of different potential story arcs, but as I wrote, I realized the main story needs to have a definitive end. So, there are four books in total, for a bit under 1500 pages, plus additional side stories, and even maybe a sequel one day. The Gore tag was added as a precaution because there are a few scenes with some light gore.
