《Reincarnated as a Pillbug monster》Prologue: New World

[Uuuugh...]
I nearly threw up, but I managed to hold it in.
I shouldn't have drunk so much at the party. I shouldn't have, but I just couldn't control myself.
I mean, what asshole you need to be to invite someone to the party where they barely know a soul
and then leave them at the entrance, because some chick called them for a "talk"...
It will be fun, he said. It will be unforgettable, he said. Yeah, maybe for you.
Anyway, I need to get to the bus stop as soon as possible,
I have a test tomorrow and I don't want to miss it when I studied so much for it.
Let's see, 00:04 huh ?
I have around 30 minutes before the last bus.
.....
The bus stop should be around here somewhere, right ?
..... right ?
O.MY.GOD. Don't tell me that I just got lost, please...
Ugh, I should have paid more attention to my surroundings when I come here.
Huh ? What's this white line on the road? Maybe a line for bicycles, I guess?
And who the hell is shining that light into my eyes, I can't see shit because of it!
Hmm? Wait...
Something isn't right here...
[Welcome, please choose one of the options]
Suddenly, a voice out of nowhere started talking to me. No way, am I hallucinating now !?
But all I drank was beer and a little bit of wine, did maybe someone put something into my drink ?
Great, this night is becoming better and better...
[Please choose one of the options]
The voice said again. It was a woman's voice. Probably an adult but I'm not sure because it's was so cold and monotone...
Remind me of a girl I met at the party. She was bored as hell, came there only because of a friend.

We had a great time complaining about it, and then even exchanged numbers...
[Please choose one of the options]
The voice said again.... aaaah, I'm feel sleepy...
[Ya, ya, stop yapping. What are the options...]
I asked. This is going nowhere, might as well go with the flow... Where am I anyway?
[Acknowledged]
[[Load old world] [Create new world]]

HAA ? What the hell is this ?
I'm starting to think that I actually already passed out on my way to a bus stop... and now I'm having a really weird dream...
Not like this is the first time something like this happened to me, but still...
something just doesn't feel right...
A hologram-like projection appeared in front of me. This definitely looks like a game screen.
I wonder why am I dreaming about a game, I'm not that much of a gamer, to be honest...
Well, I go along for now. I press [Create new world].
[Acknowledged]
The voice replied in the same cold and monotone way.
[[Load old profile] [Create new profile]]
Eeeeh? I'm tempted to see what is the first choice, but I always start the game from the beginning, sooo...
I press [Create new profile].
[Acknowledged]
[Please choose the name for the new world [new name]]
[Please choose the difficulty [default]]
The voice said as two new hologram-like projections appeared in front of me.
Hmm, with the name, let's go with something simple and easy to remember. As for difficulty, I wonder which options there are...
I pressed the [new name] and a new projection appeared below the first one. It looks like a keyboard...
For the name I wrote "Roshar" and then I pressed on [default] as new projection appeared below it.
[[Easy] [Normal] [Hard] [Very Hard]]
I always play on easy or normal, it's not that I can't handle the challenge,

but I simply don't have that much free time to play a game nowadays...
Studying and all, is this why I'm having this dream ?
Anyway, I pressed [Normal]...

[Solution: Change the profile race from Race:Human to a default Race:World Isotopa.]
[[Yes] [No]]
Eeeeh ? wait, wait, wait...
This is throwing red flags all over the place!!! What did the voice said anyway ?
I couldn't understand a thing, there was just too much information thrown at me all at once...
What the hell is "world isopoda" anyway ?! No way I'm gonna play as a race I haven't a clue about...
It didn't even start yet there are errors occurring already ?
Patch this shit up, dammit.
Even for a early access, this is below 0/10 !!!
Ugh, why the hell am I dreaming about this anyway ?
I'm done, where's the [Quit] button ?!
[Please choose one of the options]
The voice said, making me even more annoyed...
There isn't any [Quit] button around... How do I wake up from this nightmare ?
Do I really need to use the good old "pinch the cheek" method ?
No, wait. If I think about it, the mysterious voice responded to my voice at the beginning... Maybe...
[Quit]
...
..
.
[Quit]
The mysterious voice did not respond. This is making me even more annoyed, like I didn't have a bad day already...
[Quit, Exit, Ctrl-alt-Del...]
Nothing is working, looks like I need to use that...
[Ouch... AAAAAH !!!]
I did it with all my strength, but I still didn't wake up...
What's more, my cheeks are so painful on fire, what's going on here ?!
I shouldn't feel any pain in a dream, at least not this realistically...
[err, excuse me ?]
Suddenly, the mysterious voice responded and it didn't sound cold and monotone as before.
It catched me completely off guard, and I reflexively replied with [Yes ?]
[Acknowledged]
[The answer [Yes] has been selected]
[Changing profile race from Race:Human to Race:World Isopoda]
Wait,wait,waitwaitwait a damn second !!!
Now you heard me bitch! Even your voice recognition software is malfunctioning !
Aaaaah, I feel so sleepy, I want to just go to sleep !!!
Wait, what... What am I even saying ?
[Change complete]
[Starting the "Resurrection" system]
Stop, I can't... I can't think straight... sooo sleepy...

The Heart Grows
Dungeon games? Yeah, they're a good way to waste a few hours. The trick is to know the map and plan appropriately. Of course, it doesn't matter if you get beaten. You revise your plan for that map and do a bit better next time. Man, it'd really suck to wake up as a dungeon heart in a fantasy world you know nothing about, barely able to even work out how to control your dungeon. Lucky that wouldn't happen to anybody, huh? What with only having one chance at getting things right, you'd have to plan extra-defensive. This story should be getting chapters published weekly. I have a comfortable buffer set up and on top of the weekly writing I am committing, a commissioner has donated two monthly writing slots to ensure this remains on a weekly schedule. There will be a stat block at the beginning of every chapter bar the first, and a handy map at the end. All my works come with a CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license. This means you are free to download, publish, and even make derivative works of my writing so long as you include this license, attribution, and don't sell the works. Keep it free!

World After Calamity
Two hundred years ago, the Calamity occurred, an event which changed the terrain and climates of the world immensely, shifting continents and regions, developing new religions and altering life itself. The existence of magic and monsters was no longer able to be concealed, and until the Sage came and ended the Calamity, the world lived in chaos. Now, two hundred years later, two primary forces in the globe, united under a single government, oversee all magical and supernatural crime and disruptions, working from the shadows and in the light to ensure the safety of all. Something has upset the delicate balance the Sage created, however, and monsters sightings occur more and more frequently, and the signs of a second Calamity have begun to reveal themselves. At the same time, young superhumans begin training to fight against the forces causing this, to protect the mundane from monsters, and to ensure ancient artifacts are preserved and secured. This is the story of Team Lusvar, a unit of extraordinary superhumans, the world they live in, and the missions they're sent on and trials they face.

2450 - Age of Corporations
Cover: https://i.imgur.com/GhGrA2d.png - 400 Years into the future -Humans have ventured beyond the confines of Planet Earth, spreading across the Milky Way Galaxy.Governments and archaic societal structures have all collapsed, and unrestrained capitalism has found firm footing in human civilisation. In this dog-eat-dog society, where value of human life can be assigned a monetary value, we follow our protagonists:- a group of unassuming orphans with a dark secret,- a bastard scion of a massive multi-system corporation,- and a 'garage start-up' comprising of optimistic and starry-eyed inventors setting out in the unforgiving free-market,in their adventures and exploits across the galaxy! AUTHOR'S NOTE:Hi guys! This novel is just a pet project of mine, to exercise my imagination and vocabulary. The regularity of uploads will depend on how well this catches on (but nonetheless, expect at least 1-2 ch/wk).I proofread my own work before uploading it, so there may be grammatical errors or misused vocabulary. Please let me know in the comments and I'll fix it. I found inspiration for this novel from various sources (Cyberpunk 2077, The Mech Touch, etc.) so in some places you may find some similarities. Please note that it is just an inspiration and I'm not trying to blatantly copy those works. While I do have a general plot line in mind, the various volumes (or arcs) will be quite fluid and susceptible to influence from reader suggestions. This is so that my creativity doesn't stagnate. I hope you guys like my work. If not, please leave reviews! I appreciate any and all constructive criticism, and opportunities to improve myself. Scribblehub: Scribblehub_AoCWebnovel: Webnovel_AoC

Time Can't Heal This
I've always hated the saying "Time heals all wounds." Maybe in most cases that may be true. In my experience with life and pain however, time has only ever bled out the wound. The scars that the wounds left behind though, are often so deep that just looking at them becomes painful to the mind. Time only heals what you let go of. Sometimes letting go and moving on just doesn't feel possible; no matter how much time you let pass you by.These poems signify what time hasn't healed for me.
