A book of random short stories of different genres.

Chapter 1The Message

436th cycle, solaris 2173 of the Federation

We made contact. The signal we sent six solaris ago was received by a distant planet in Sector 94b. I knew it. We are not alone. What a great moment this is. All of Cree should rejoice. We are not alone in the cosmos. Reaguth was correct in his theories. Sadly he won't see the fruits of his work. But I will take on his work. And once I become the head of the Observatory, I will push for further contact with our neighbors in 94b.

21st cycle, solaris 2179 of the Federation

They name themselves as humans. Strange name. Anyway I convinced Grand Observer Derth to fund the upgrade of the antennae. Reaguth would have been glad if he saw the developments for the past solaris.

***

29th cycle, solaris 2180 of the Federation

The humans are asking if we have thorium. They are offering a permanent trade agreement for the stuff. I don't know what thorium is though. Nobody does. They are dispatching a sample and soon we will find out.

In other news, the maintenance department is idling again. Thirty antennae need repair, six satellites were broken by the last great storm and yet just the other cycle I saw them playing with skalers. I will advocate for their replacement in the project.

***

312th cycle, solaris 2183 of the Federation

It turns out that the thing the humans call thorium is actually fretyline. The traditionals in the Council are adamant in trading our fretyline. I do understand their sentiments. Even an Observer like me still values tradition and faith. But the humans are offering technology in exchange for fratyline. I think that is a just trade.

***

213th cycle, solaris 2185 of the Federation

Grand Observer Belth. How does that sound? This recognition feels hollow without Reaguth though. This has been our dream ever since we were of tender age. No matter. I now have the authority to resume our contact with the humans.

The terraforming of Veliu would have to be put back. But I believe that we will reap more benefits in discoursing with our neighbors. We can't trade our fretyline but maybe they would want something else.

***

412th cycle, solaris 2191 of the Federation

They have arrived. At long last, we made our first physical contact with our neighbors. Their ships are advanced, powered by fretyline. The humans themselves are larger than us. I have so many questions, enough to flood the cosmos. What is their planet like? Culture? History? What do they consume? Why don't they have fur? What's next? Should we make a joint exploration to the deepest recesses of the cosmos? Thinking about the knowledge we will accumulate thrills me without end. This is the beginning of a beautiful partnership.

Necromancer Of The Shadows

"I should have stayed home and played video games." This was Ray's last thought before darkness engulfed him after he was hit by a car. But surprisingly, instead of finding himself before the gates of hell after dying, Ray found out he was transmigrated into another world. The world Ray was transmigrated to was called Arora World, a place where you can use different kinds of skills, magic, and even acquire powerful classes. Ray found himself in the body of a young boy named Evan, who was studying in a hunter academy after awakening his abilities at the age of fourteen. At first, Ray was happy that he was transmigrated into the body of someone who had awakened his abilities and could use the magic he always wanted to use. However, as Ray went through Evan's memories, he finally realized that everything was not as simple as he had expected. Evan had a unique physique that didn't allow him to increase his power like other people. Because of this useless unique physique, Evan was the weakest hunter in the entire academy. And that was not all; the more Ray looked at Evan's memories, the more he realized just how troublesome his situation was. "I know I entered this body without buying a ticket, but isn't this too much?" Ray said in a depressed voice after going through Evan's memories. Will Ray be able to survive in this new world? Is the physique of his new body really useless? Join Ray on his adventure to find out.

Reincarnated To Evolve My Bee Empire

"Now, go forth, my mortal champion! Conquer this world—or else!" I lived a painfully average life and died by a stupid, stupid accident, but a goddess interfered, giving me a second chance in another world. There, I became royalty—the lazy kind with almost no obligations, free to live in peace and luxury for the rest of my days. Sounds like a dream, right? In reality, it was anything but—because I became *BEE* royalty. A Drone Bee, doomed to die of old age in 2 months! (A humanoid bee, thankfully, but still a bee in all the ways that matter.) The only way to increase my lifespan is to develop and grow my bee colony—a deadly task in a vicious world like this one. There are murderous insect monsters, colossal beasts trampling the earth, other civilizations, natural disasters, and the bitchy patron goddess who absolutely hates me. But as long as I have my brains, my bees, and the powerful genes my system gives me, my Bee Empire will be unstoppable! === For those who want to know more: This is a wholesome comedic story, but it has some dark moments. The focus is on kingdom building, survival as an empire, and interacting with MC’s beautiful bee wife and adorable bee daughters. The bees are all humanoid (see pictures) and human-sized. However, they are still bees in their ways of life and mentality. Although there’s a system, real growth comes from putting effort and time. Nothing happens in an instant in this story, unless it’s trouble. MC acts like an idiot sometimes (oftentimes), but he’s not actually stupid-stupid. When it comes to strategic decisions, he uses logic and reason. Even if you might disagree with it. Also, there will be no smut (ecchi is a fair game), incest, NTR, harem or BL. === Discord is up! Find it at -> https://linktr.ee/Garessta Updates: 2 chapters/day, right after the reset (with a 5% chance of running late). Reply to author's pinned review if you have questions. Also, although I realize the futility of this aim (at least right now), if this novel reaches top 15 golden ticket ranking (and stays there for a few days, obv), I will mass release 10 extra chapters! (within 30 calendar days)

I Can Copy And Evolve Talents

Across the vast convolution of worlds, divine beings rule as absolute sovereigns—each god assigned dominion over a singular realm. Skirmishes are inevitable, whether for power, amusement, or sheer pettiness. One such battle, between Nexus, the God of Trickery, and an aging, senile deity, resulted in an anomaly… A soul misplaced. Elliot, an ordinary man, was never meant for Ul’Tra-el. But fate, or perhaps a cosmic prank, had other plans. Unlike other worlds, Ul’Tra-el is an aberration—one that developed a voice. A voice that diverged from the natural order. A voice that changed everything. Its foundation cracked, leaking dimensions into one another. Rifts tore open like festering wounds, vomiting forth unspeakable horrors—monsters not meant to exist. But the world did not sit idly by. In response—perhaps an act of self-preservation—the world gifted its inhabitants power. Talents awakened, granting people extraordinary abilities. And for every rift sealed, the Voice of Ul rewarded them generously. Survival was simple: fight, grow stronger, and close the rifts… or die trying. In this ruthless, blood-soaked reality, Northern—a white-haired boy burdened by his past life—was reincarnated. But unlike the chosen heroes, he awakened as a talentless nobody. No power. No strength. No future. And when death loomed over him—when despair clawed at his soul and the cold grip of the failure threatened to take him— A Voice responded: [System Notice] [Your Soul cannot take a form.] [Searching for a Unique Pattern Ability…] [Searching…] [Search Found.] [A Unique System Ability has been detected.] [You Can Copy And Evolve Talents] ... Follow Northern through his journey as he becomes the pinnacle of this world. This a story about a white-haired boy’s rise from rubbles!! Note: This is an overpower genre but MC does not just start off like that. Even though MC can copy talents he doesn't just jump around copying talents because there's a limitation. However, his rise to strength is depicted and is an experience to enjoy. The first few hundreds would be frustrating to follow because MC is weak but that makes the experience all the more interesting when MC finally gets freaking strong and starts wiping the floor with everyones asses.
