Synopsis

What is a city boy to do when he wakes up in a white room with nothing and no one in it? All that greets him is a blue screen flashing with one word. "Welcome" In this story of wise cracks and wide spread murdering, Drake is forced to face old traumas and find his way in the new world of a merged planet forced by the system. He will find enemies and allies aplenty. Even some he would have never expected. His decisions will shape the future of his planet and journey in this new wild landscape that the system has brought. With God and Anime on his side- Oh and some spotty game knowledge- he must forge his own path. But first. He needs to get through this damned tutorial in one piece, and figure out how his damned spell works. New Chapters are posted Monday, Wednesday, Friday at 6 PM EST. -------- Cover Art is done by my wonderful friend Caneera you can find her at https://caneera.carrd.co/ for all types of commissions. This is a story I've decided to write because my endless fantasies of chuunibyou like proportions could not stay in my head any longer. I've just wanted to make a story I can make some cringe jokes in and this is the result. I really do hope people will enjoy it as I really do enjoy writing it, and will keep writing it. If you can catch some of the references I would love to hear it. Love and Peace! Just not in this story. If you would like to read ahead, you can find my patreon at the end of any of the chapters! At patreon com/Arthur_Inverse I will be publishing this on Amazon under the pen name Arthur Inverse or Richard Fuerle. At least I will as soon as KDP support recognizes I am the author and not trying to steal my own work... I would like to also mention that, this is essentially unedited work for now. More edited versions are on scribblehub. Discord: https://discord.com/invite/jJw54jd2GX

Chapter 1Chapter One: Welcome.

As a light blue screen floated in front of him gingerly. His brows scrunched in confusion as he looked at it. A single bold word in the middle of it.

Welcome.

"This isn't what I was watching… Where did this screen come from?" Drake questioned. His gaze brought again to the subtly bobbing screen in front of him. Taking better notice of the screen, at the bottom of the it there was a small white blinking arrow prompting him to continue.

"Oh.. I kinda don't like that.. I've seen one too many movies like this," Drake muttered.

Trying to quickly get up from his sitting position, he actually noticed that he was actually sitting in a comfortable office like chair, taken aback.

"I should have been in bed laying down and watching my late night… show…"

And why is it so chilly in here? He pondered trying to take stock. Ignoring the screen still prompting him to continue, almost seeming to blink more aggressively in his peripheral. Drake began to pat himself down. It seemed impossible but it looked like he had been moved somehow into this white non-descript room.

Moving from his head, down his body he embarrassedly stopped at his pants. Or his lack thereof. "Shit I'm pantsless? Hey! Whoever you are! You didn't even have the decency to clothe me when you kidnapped me!?" he shouted into the air at nothing in particular, but he hoped someone would hear him and give him some answers.

The room he was in didn't seem to have any doors. And definitely no windows, which was another confusing thing to add to the list of rather confusing things, as there was light but no light sources that he could find.

"Did one of my brothers put you up to this!? I know my birthday is coming up soon but this goes way beyond a joke! Hello?!" Drake continued to shout for a few minutes. Eventually devolving into loud insults and indecencies. Finally resorting to just screaming at the top of his lungs as no one answered him. Until he ran out of energy and slid down against a wall to sit.

After a few minutes of being slumped against a wall, his head tiled back staring into space, a bell sounded in Drake's head, followed by a mechanical female voice.

[Welcome. New Persons' to the integration of your world into the fused world 7.515e14. You will have the following hour to go through the introduction before the initial tutorial commences. May you gain insight, power, and renown. And most importantly survive.]

The voice said coldly, only adding to the ominous and confusing pit forming in Drake's stomach.

The bell and voice faded from inside Drake's head as his vision panned down from the ceiling, focusing on the light blue screen, a new white timer counting down on the top right of it.

[Time Remaining until Initiation: 59 Minutes, 45 Seconds]

"Ahh…. I've definitely seen this movie before… And I really don't want to see what happens when the timer runs out if I don't finish..." he wearily chuckled pressing the continue button on the screen.

Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

In a world where summoners wield the power to call forth vampires, elves, angels, demons, and all humanoid creatures from across the realms, Nathan found himself unable to summon beings except from beasts.  However, those beasts are not ordinary beasts. They are divine beings who once stood at the same level, if not higher, than the legendary creatures the world ever knew.  Casting his gaze to the left, Nathan sees numerous summoners accompanied by the likes of demon kings, archangels, vampire progenitors, and other legendary beings. Turning to the right, a massive army of alien symbiotes is waiting to attack.  There was no fear in his eyes, because standing on his left is a majestic wolf who managed to kill a god, the legendary eight-headed serpent coils on his right, above him is the bird who is glowing like the sun, and behind him is a dragon that once gnawed the roots of the world tree.  “Let the war begin.”

GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions be known. Thank you.

Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons

"Dragons and their spawn rule the skies, the land, and the seas... humanity survives in the cracks, dreaming of a comeback." _____ Power comes from the beast you tame. Wolves, hawks, snakes, spiders, chimeras, the stronger your summon, the brighter your future. Too bad for our protagonist. When everyone else summoned salamanders, eagles, troll dogs(not doge) or tigers, he got… Well, let’s just say the only thing lower on the food chain is dirt. Laughed at, bullied, and living as the butt of every joke, he’s not exactly winning. But giving up isn’t an option... His aging parents sold everything for his "failed" chance, and he won’t let it be for nothing. But hey, this is his story. The weakest beast tamer? Here’s the thing about being at the bottom: it teaches you how to climb. And dragons? Turns out they start small too. As kingdoms crumble under greed and external threats, the weakest tamer begins his rise. Follow his path as he unlocks a potential so rare, so terrifying, it leads to dragons… Every evolutionary line leads to the strongest ‘SSS Dragons’. _______ Warning: Contains world-ending dragons, ridicule-fueled underdog revenge, dragon-scaled protagonist, morally questionable nobles, insane creature evolutions and enough twists to make you wonder if weakest really means luckiest. A MC who’s out to prove everyone wrong… even if it kills him. Spoiler alert: It won’t. For those who love a whole lot of fun, this one’s for you. If you’re looking for a darker story, look somewhere else (Maybe Utopian System (;) This one’s about having fun and taming expectations. _______ If you want to know more about the cover: Yep, that's Luna, the FL... Her skin and clothes are morphing into shimmering scales from her dragon power. Remember Sailor Moon? Magical girls? Now imagine if the magical outfit wasn’t a cute dress, but an actual dragon! The dragon is the dress... It’s not just fashion; it’s fusion. High-level beasts tend to leave their mark, and Luna wears it like a boss, pulling off the ultimate power move. _______ We will use the same Discord from my first book, come join! https://discord.gg/W3CjfC2cw4 _______ Silly tags that seem to matter a lot to some readers: No Yaoi, No Yuri, Possibly Harem (Vote! I can write either, and in any case, there will be multiple girls. The only difference is whether he chooses one in the end or goes the "liberal" route.... democracy is yours!), No NTR.

Just the type of story I like. I rarely like reading. Always perfered anime over books. But a good story is a good story. The progression is done very well. Not too fast just the way I like. Makes it feel earned. Drake is an excellent protagonist in my opinion. Humor is definitely top tier at times. The characters and how they interact are interesting. It just keeps getting better. Chapter 83 is what I'm up to. Definitely excited to see where this series goes.

Might be a bit biased, but seems pretty good to me [img=recommend] Writing is not bad, jokes are kinda alright, plot isn't the worst, there's a lot of anime references that I kinda got. And the MC is pretty almost kinda sorta likeable.

Everything is amazing and I can't believe this story hasn't gotten enough love. Arthur_Inverse is a fantastic writer who knows how to hook in readers with incredible prose and witty story beats. I'd give this six stars if I could, but I suppose 5s across the board will have to do.

Drake is extremely relatable to how I would react in such a situation (which may or may not be terrible) but his off-hand comments and sayings really got a few good laughs out of me. I have not read all the way, but I found myself already glued reading past my expected appointment time, to the point where I had to keep reading even while I was meeting others. All the usual tropes is there, and it worked without a hitch. Great progression, great character. I love the singular focus on Drake along with sparse chapters on other viewpoints. Not too pushy, but enough to keep the reader aware of the other players around Drake as well. Style: The humour and flow of the story is great, it really makes for a simple nice easy read. So far nothing that really throws off the pacing of the story ( except the namesake of the novel, hint hint) The way he describes the battle is great as well, just enough details for the readers to visualize and feel like they were Drake, fighting off the same monsters. Story: I've read up to Chapter 27. But so far it's been pretty great, with all the interesting interactions between Drake and people he meet along the way that I felt the need to review this so others can see it. The item descriptions are also hilarious. I always love 'Systems' that flame the owner or user. The way he scuffles with the skills and item drops that he gets is extremely interesting and gets a good laugh out of me all the time. Grammar: No major flaws, and no minor problems either. Nothing broke the flow at which I read, and that's a big plus! Character: Oh Drake you silly boy. I love all his wild-card like antics, and the light-hearted view that he adopts when going through the world. But when it comes down to the nitty gritty, Drake really does deliver the hardwork and focus on goals to overcome or surpass others. Something worthy of admiring in a main character, and it makes the reader want to support him from their hearts. Overall, a great read. I think I'm going to end the review here and keep reading, because it's that fluid of a read. Great job!

So far in really liking the book. Drake is extremely likable and his jokes are decent. Overall character development is good. I'm really liking the plot and world development so far. Not much is bad about it other than the occasional grammar errors (2-4 per chapter).
