Chapter 1An Opportunity

Huff huff huff huff....

Out of breath and thoroughly drained, Euri raises her right hand with a pained expression on her face and presses the "Cool Down" button on the holographic interface in front of her. The whirring of the treadmill becomes quieter as the conveyor belt slows to a walking pace. The soft lights rotating around the holographic track also slows down to indicate the current pace of walking.

Beep Beep Beep Beeeeeeeeeeep.

With that, the treadmill comes to a complete stop. Euri steps off, grabs a clean towel from a nearby rack to dab her sweat and heads towards her shower. She reaches down to press down on her right thigh, noting the tightness in her leg.

Only two more days. Almost there. I'll be number one.

Euri reaches down and presses on the buckle of her sweatsuit and it automatically loosens the fabric of her clothes before proceeding to retract into a fist sized ball. After placing the capsule onto the laundry track and the shower on the counter, she raises her slender legs and steps under the shower.

As the violin begins to play, Euri closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, visibly relaxing her muscles. Water begins to fall from the ceiling above onto her long, vibrant blue hair. Feeling the fatigue washing away along with her sweat, she begins to gently clean herself starting with her hair.

Five minutes later, she presses on the "Dry" button and a gently warm breeze blows out of the grills to the side to blow away the water and dry her body.

Euri turns towards the mirror above the counter and flexes her biceps. Seeing the defined muscle lines, a satisfied smile widens on her face.

Perfect.

She grabs a light pink ball from the clean track, presses it against her stomach, and a soft pink set of pajamas deploys over her body in an instant.

Feeling re-energized, Euri walks towards the kitchen. On the surface screen of the kitchen island is a calendar with the day's date and time prominently displayed at the top.

There's only two more days left until the enlistment examination for the Central Military Academy, the 3rd most prestigious military academy of the Terra Alliance.

Every year, there are two examinations with each only accepting 500 of the over 10 million applicants. Each exam has 3 stages, a physical stage, a written exam, and finally, a flight simulation. The last stage is different depending on the department being applied to.

Seeing, the incomplete item on her to-do list, Euri closes her eyes, takes a deep breath, then opens her eyes again. This time, with a sharper gaze. She opens the fridge, takes out a protein mix, and downs the bottle in one go. With a determined breath, Euri strides to her worn-out simulator, a virtual reality device that allows its users to enter the Terra Alliance's virtual capital of Nova Terra, where the majority of humanity on Earth reside in their dreams.

Despite being a last-generation model from over 20 years ago, it had been in her family since release. Euri's father was a Master Mechanic and kept the device in pristine condition, a skill he passed down to Euri who kept the machine running after his passing.

Just like the machine, she also inherited her one-bedroom , 20 square meter condo located in New Vancouver, capital of the Rocky Archipelagoes. Though it isn't outfitted with the newest and greatest tech, it is more than sufficient for her needs. The city's modern automated drone services provide all the necessities for life from food delivery to medical emergencies while the maglev Skytrain system seamlessly connects all the islands in New Vancouver.

Euri runs her left hand over the faint words "TERRA-VR Mk.13," which were last repainted by her father, with a gentle smile.

"I'll make you proud dad. I'll go where you've always wanted to go and I'll bring you there with me; to Empyreon, Mom's home world."

Sitting down on the recliner, Euri glances at the Exam Invitation message on her HUD with a T-36:05:22 displayed under it. Taking one last look out the window towards the sunset over the boundless water, she lowers the headset over her head and leans backwards.

Intergalactic conquest with an AI

Rex was just another slave in the corporate machine, a faceless office worker under the shadow of one of the galaxy's powerful megacorps. His life was predictable and dull, an endless cycle of meaningless reports and fluorescent-lit monotony. That was, until that day.... When a new world was discovered on the outskirts of the galaxy, Rex, like countless other low-ranking employees, found himself dragged into a contract clause he’d barely skimmed years ago. The megacorp ordered him and his coworkers to pack their lives into a transport pod and leave for the unexplored planet. Their mission? Establish a colony. Mine resources. Make the company richer. There was no choice, refusing meant ruin. At first, everything seemed manageable. The days were grueling, the nights cold, but progress was steady. The colony was coming to life. Until the excavation team struck something. No one knew what it was at first, a buried hive, a forgotten ecosystem, or something ancient and dangerous. Whatever it was, it unleashed hell. Swarms of enormous, chittering creatures erupted from the ground, their jagged bodies blotting out the sky. The colony fell into chaos. Screams echoed through the air as the bugs tore through everything in their path, walls, machines, and people. Rex barely survived. Bloodied, broken, and pinned beneath the rubble, he should have died there. But in the pitch-black silence of his fading consciousness, a voice spoke to him. Cold. Mechanical. Otherworldly. "Do you wish to live?" When Rex woke, he was no longer the man he’d been. His body was no longer human flesh and bone but something far more alien. His skin shimmered with living metal, his mind infused with the power of Cleo, a mysterious AI from a long-extinct, robotic race known as the Kaelzars. Cleo’s presence pulsed through his thoughts, guiding him and transforming him. He wasn’t just alive. He was reborn. But survival came at a price. Rex was no longer a pawn of the megacorp; he was something more dangerous, something they couldn’t control. As Cleo’s intentions began to reveal themselves, Rex found himself standing on the precipice of war, not just with the bugs but with forces far greater than he could have imagined. This was the beginning of a journey through blood-soaked battlefields and treacherous alliances. Along the way, Rex would encounter allies, brilliant, flawed, and unpredictable, and enemies whose ambitions were as sharp as their blades. These weren’t disposable foes, easily crushed by an overpowered hero. They were cunning, relentless, and human in the most terrifying ways. But then again, in war, who can truly be called a villain?

I Can Level Up By Staying Idle

Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

Chen Xiaoyun, an orphan from Guangzhou, China, once met a girl who looked remarkably like him. Before he could learn more about her, a deadly virus was unleashed around the globe. Humans turned into creatures straight out of video games and movies, and zombies and mutants roamed the streets with no one to stop them. From tanks to jockeys to even invisible zombies and mutated dogs. The mutations are just endless. "Why is there a zombie apocalypse just as I find my family? And why can I suddenly create things from thin air?" Will Xiaoyun survive the chaos with the new people he meets along the way? Will he use his newfound abilities to bring peace to a devastated world? Or perhaps he will just take another nap in the bed like a lazy pig—— "Shut up. How am I supposed to do anything when you keep throwing women at me?" ____________ Author's note: The main character grows as the story develops. Although he's very naive from the beginning, he matures a lot as the story progresses. There is no NTR or Yuri unless you consider the main character's woman sharing his 'stuff' in a threesome as Yuri, in which case I have nothing for you. Some of the love interests are related to the main character. Discord server if you want to talk or have questions: https://discord.gg/hnXMFwfVR3
