Buffy the Red: Yo, Omni, when are you coming back? You know that Hera is too busy to lecture you now, right?
Omnoculus: Yeah? That’s awesome. 
Omnoculus: How long do you think it will last though?
Buffy the Red: Maybe another day or two before she manages to delegate everything out.
Buffy the Red: See you for a dungeon run in a few?
Omnoculus: Wellllll, probably another few hours until I’m back at the earliest, honestly.
Buffy the Red: ?
Omnoculus: I have to finish this psych evaluation, and then I’m on standby or something.
Buffy the Red: I’ve never seen somebody given a psych evaluation for fighting a dragon before. . .
Omnoculus: Not for that, but I have a story about a guy I knew and a low level slime mob that’s similar.
Omnoculus: The psych bit is for seeing a space-squid.
Buffy the Red: . . .
Omnoculus: You know I’m part of the tech crew, technically, right?
Buffy the Red: Duh. You may have mentioned it a fewwww times.
Omnoculus: Well, they had me looking at space today, like in real life, and I saw a space-squid.
Buffy the Red: So, how’s the psych test going?
Omnoculus:
Omnoculus: It scores me at the end. I’m completely sane though. I blame faulty equipment or some sort of prank.
Buffy the Red: Somebody would actually screw with the tech that’s floating us through space?
Omnoculus: Well, they chose you all because you guys are smart, not because you’re wise.
Buffy the Red: Hey! I’m plenty wise!
Omnoculus: Sure sure. Remind me to tell the story about the slime when I’m back in-game.
Buffy the Red: Why not now?
Omnoculus: It needs a proper campfire to tell the story to its full potential. Trust me.
Omnoculus: But yeah, somebody might have messed with the equipment, or maybe it just malfunctioned.

Buffy the Red: Seems like a dumb thing to do. We’re still safe, right?
Omnoculus: Yeah, should be. It’s just the mid-range scanners.
Buffy the Red: Good.
Omnoculus: Plus, we actually have competent mechanics who are being deprived of game-time right now to look at the issue.
Buffy the Red: So, space squid?
Omnoculus: Right. A squid shape, tentacles and all, floating in an ocean that was floating in space.
Buffy the Red: Ocean?
Omnoculus: Maybe more like a nebula, but more see-through?
Buffy the Red: So you saw what, if real, was an alien?
Omnoculus: There’s no way it was real. If it were, it would be the size of a moon, maybe a small planet.
Buffy the Red: So, a really big alien?
Omnoculus: Right, if it were real, it would give c’thulhu nightmares.
Buffy the Red: That sounds cool. Did you get pictures?
Omnoculus: I wish. Then maybe I wouldn’t be here answering questions about how often I hear noises other people can’t hear.
Buffy the Red: Too bad. Good luck on the sanity!
Buffy the Red: Gotta run, Hera is sending me with one of the caravans to get lumber for rebuilding, so catch up with us when you log back in.
Omnoculus: I will try my hardest.
Omnoculus: Hopefully I get back in while she’s distracted still.
Omnoculus: Why did I join this guild again?
Buffy the Red: Boredom, the raids, a competent healer? ttyl
Omnoculus: Later.

The Infinity Islands
I was just supposed to be a normal guy! I was about to graduate from my normal university with my normal English degree, about to begin my first foray out into the real world. But somehow, I had ended up worlds away instead. Far, far away from home, in a world that should have been just like mine, running and fighting for my life in a war I didn't understand. None of us knew why or how we were there or what we were ultimately supposed to accomplish. But that didn't really matter, did it? In my new world, there was only one rule: survive! --- Hey all, I'm Ken, and this is my first time sharing a story online. This story is heavily inspired by Terror Infinity, if it wasn't obvious from the title. I've been interested in making a Terror Infinity story for a while now, but I have a lot of problems with its system and mechanics, so I decided to just make my own system instead of trying to adapt to that one. If you find any mistakes, typos, or awkward phrasing please let me know in the comments so I can fix it! I hope everyone can enjoy this story but, even if you don't, please let me know why and what you think I can do to improve. Thank you. (The original picture for the cover can be found here)

Dirge
All things are. We once dreamed of a sky filled with possibilities. Of neverending knowledge. But those were conceited times, filled with quibbling. Now we look up and fear the vastness. We fear that there’s no edge to infinity. Humanity pulled itself together. Not like you’d expect, not like you’d approve of, but the results are spectacular. We call ourselves Utopians now, to make it simple for our kin in the cosmos. We’ve moved out into the Omniverse, to unlimited resources, and to dominance over the weak. Not for gain, but to the ends of permanence and peace. The cessation of their suffering. At the apex, looking down on those confined, those unenlightened, we felt safe. So few stand shoulder to shoulder with us. Fewer yet of them are so united as we. Porter, a godkiller for the Eidolons, is out of the job. Christopher, a Magus in the Guild, has him a new one, but with motives questionable. Kendall, a failing student at the Monastery, has to deal with secrets he never wanted. Anna, her entire life just fell apart, leaving her bereft. And Doran, he awakens. Each of these people, connected as members of the Omniversal Utopian Commonwealth, are helpless to the dark truth closing in. Not even the artificial intelligence, Aku, keeper of all Utopian power, can stop the Ouroboros. It’s not a new dawn. The light is dying. Hold your breath and go gently.
