《Future untold》The Mission
Advertisement
It had been weeks since Barry locked Killer Frost away. No one new was in town. Cicada's body was buried under many feet of dirt, where he can't hurt anyone. Now the team was figuring out how to destroy the dagger. But today they had bigger fish to catch.
Carry stood on the gravel above the city. Nora was nearby.
"Did Thawne know this would happen?" She asked.
"Ca-"
"Did Thawne know?"
"I don't know."
"You have to tell them."
"Thawne sa-"
"Thawne is manipulating you!"
"He is helping me defeat Cicada!" Carry laughed at that.
"And created a much worse Cicada in the process!"
"We are working on fixing that."
"If you aren't going to tell the team the truth, I will." Carry turned around and walked toward the door. Nora sped around and blocked her way.
"I can't let you do that."
"Get out of my way Nora!" Carry pushed her backwards and attempted to run to the door. However, Nora quickly recovers and pulls her back.
"I'm sorry for this then Carry." Nora threw her into a nearby air conditioner. Carry cried out in pain as her back hit the AC. "Thawne needs this mission to be a secret."
Nora sped to Carry and lifted her from the ground. She threw her to the otherside of the roof. Carry screamed as a metal pole went through her shoulder.
"Y-you going t-to kill me?"
"I'm doing what I have to to complete the mission."
"What is going on?" Barry asked as the steady beeping picked up pace.
"Carry's vitals are off the charts. Where did she say she was going?" Iris studied the monitor.
"She said she was going to bed," Caitlin answered as she went over to the monitor and tapped it a few times.

"Then what is she doing on the Amertek building?" Iris said as she watched Carry's tracker stay completely still.
"I'm on it, find out where Nora is, she could be in danger too." Barry changed clothes and sped up the side of the Amertek skyscraper and onto the roof. "I don't see her."
"She's 16 feet in front of you. Barry, her pulse is slowing down." Caitlin spoke through his earpiece. He stepped around the AC unit and found Carry who laid on her side, facing away from him. A puddle of blood surrounded her.
"Carry!" He went to her and rolled Carry onto her back. She sputtered up blood as a result of her wounds. There was massive trauma all over her body, including a hole in Carry's shoulder.
"You're gonna be okay," he said before speeding back to Star Labs.
"Oh my god Carry!" Caitlin and Iris ran to her as Barry set a now unconscious Carry on the exam table. "There's s-so much blood, I don't even know where to start!" Tears uncontrollably poured out of her eyes. Barry was at her side in seconds.
"Hey, hey, take a breath, your daughter needs you to take a moment and think." Caitlin nodded, took a deep breath with Barry and wiped her tears.
"I need to take out the chip."
"Won't that bring out an unwanted friend?"
"It's the only way to save her, so give me a scalpel."

Cybernetic Dragon
Idea Seven, or Inter Dimensional Explorer Automaton Unit-7, has had a bit of an accident. Hijacking the egg of a dragon rather than its intended target of a bird egg, it isn't fully in control of its host brain. Rather the two, dragon and cybernetic AI interface, must work together to survive in a hostile world of magic, dungeons, beasts and adventurers. The AI must deal with being a machine from a world of science trying to carry out its mission of exploration, while the dragon, Rex, must deal with being a cyborg living with symbiotic nanotech that sets him apart from other dragons. What adventures await them? Author Note: I tagged this story GameLit because it contains concepts like levels, classes, and dungeon/beast cores. But, it isn't tagged LitRPG because no one has status screens, other than occasionally Idea Seven who likes to organize data into blue boxes. It isn't a natural function of the world to display level ups or skill ups with an announcer voice. I mention this to set expectations, because otherwise I feel like LitRPG fans might be disappointed by my lack of LitRPG elements while others might be turned off thinking I have a lot of LitRPG elements. I think that if you approach the story with an open mind you will appreciate the gradual way in which the main character learns and expands his understanding of how the world works, but the game mechanics aren't meant to take center stage to the actual story.

Aggravated Defense (Progression LitRPG)
A quick TL;DR pitch. LitRPG Apocalypse with group progression, a non-overpowered mc, a limited skill-slot System where having a single skill over your opponent could make a big difference. A barrier mage mc who isn’t an Edgelord A sentient System that’s a character in its own right. And no harem or cheat skills. ~<>~<>~ Steven knew the world had ended when a great green and purple dome covered the city of Anchorage. Then things got weirder. First earthquakes, then bolts fell from the sky, changing and twisting the things they hit. Steven, stuck in the throes of apathy, had sought shelter out of boredom more than anything else. But when some fellow survivors are separated and trapped by a rampaging moose, an emotion breaks through his apathy. He can’t turn away. Some people say it’s everyone for themselves at the end of the world. Steven disagreed ~<>~<>~ Will update every Sunday and Tuesday at 9:00am, unless the chapter is beefy, then we'll just have one that week. For some more meta details about this story, it’s a LitRPG Apocalypse with a focus on abilities and how they are used over stats and numbers. It will have group progression, a non-overpowered protagonist, and a focus on unique and interesting classes. No overwhelming advantages for the main crew or broken cheat skills. No harem, some amount of gore, decent levels of profanity.

The Successor
The Immortal God Emperor is dead...yet his Successor will one day arise. The worlds had long moved on from the greatest Cultivator of all time. The things that had been achieved and the advances made in the Immortal God Emperor's absence were nothing to turn one's nose up at. And yet, something was always missing. Because Cultivators, no matter the goals they pursue, always bow to the greater power. They seek it, they covet it for themselves, and they serve it with reverence. Shan Kai Lan was born into such a world. Born to two herb farmers whose cultivation did not surpass the Foundation Realm, yet who loved their son more than anything. Kai Lan was a child blessed by the Spiritual Plain, far more gifted and more intelligent than others his age. Yet the more profound his achievements, the greater the likelihood that his happy, peaceful life would be trampled on by those who desired his potential for themselves. The question of Kai Lan's journey becomes not whether he will reach the highest peak of cultivation, but what he will be forced to do to keep his young Clan, and the happiness it provides, at peace. Note to Reader: I am not of an Asian background, but this work is heavily influenced by Eastern stories and concepts. In saying that, it is an INFLUENCE only. Keep in mind that this is a fantasy work, and any butchering of names, concepts or cultural objects/places/subjects are not meant in any way to offend. With that in mind, Happy Reading! - Jelim
