Shiroihi Gakō, a man with no face or color meets a pencil, whne they fuse Shiroihi realized his power, and what he could do with it...

(A/N: Important announcement at the end of the chapter~.)
Peeking a few years into the future, specifically around the time that a second story was intended to take place, Vahn was unsurprised to find that his Template had elected to take matters into his own hands. More specifically, he had used his status as one of the most powerful and influential voices within the Pangalactic Federation to make amendments to the Underdeveloped Planet Preservation Pact. This allowed him to establish an organization that specialized in the research and observation of so-called Underdeveloped Civilizations, and, whenever anomalies were discovered, his team was uniquely equipped to deal with threats to the universe.
Though there was a significant amount of backlash in the early years, Vahn's Template, also known as Vahn, was eventually declared Hegemon of the Pangalactic Federation after establishing contact with one of the universe's oldest and most technologically overdeveloped civilizations, the Nedians. With their cooperation, he was able to, quite literally, prevent the destruction of the entire universe, and, as a result of his Guardianship over their final heiress, an adorable blue-haired girl named Rena Lanford, he was entrusted with nearly 700,000,000 years of data related to universe's development and every technological advancement the Nedians had ever made.
Seeing how successful his alternate self had become, Vahn couldn't help feeling just a little envious. It wasn't that he was wanting for things like power and beautiful women at his side. It was more so that he was envious of the 'stability' of their existence. His own life seemed exceedingly random at times, and, though he had a general understanding of the direction he was moving in, the goal he was reaching for was something beyond comprehension. Inversely, the Template he had created as his proxy in the Tri-Ace Anthology had a perfect understanding of the direction his life was heading, and, through a concerted effort, he was able to overthrow a plot more than four-billion-years in the making before ushering in an era of peace and stability that spanned nearly 1300 years.
While 1300 years might not seem like a long time, it was an astronomical amount considering he was the Hegemon of a Federation that spanned several galaxies and more than 60,000 'civilized' worlds. The longest era of peace prior to his reign was only eight years, as, whenever people made distinctions between 'civilized' and 'uncivilized', finding corruption was easier than finding grains of sand on a beach. It didn't help that there was no unified system of governance among the planets comprising the Pangalactic Federation, as, whenever someone tried to install such a government, they were bastardized as an autocrat or a tyrant by the powers pulling the strings from behind the scenes.
In the end, it took demonic creatures invading from another dimension to shatter the peace that had been wrought through Fellpool Vahn's efforts. This, in turn, led to the discovery that the entire universe had simply been a simulation created by higher-dimensional beings as a way for them to pass the time. This revelation led to widespread chaos throughout the Universe before Vahn and his allies, once again, fought to restore peace and establish peaceful coexistence between the 'Eternal Sphere', the name of their universal simulation, and the Fourth-Dimensional beings responsible for its creation.
Though he could have continued to rule as Hegemon, Fellpool Vahn took advantage of the fact that he had reached the end of his reality's established timeline to finally retire. In his place, he allowed the reality-spanning E.S.O.A.A, the system designed to monitor the Eternal Sphere, to manage, not just the Pangalactic Federation, but all civilizations within its sphere of influence. This led to quite a number of issues throughout the universe, but, with the threat of literal deletion hanging over their heads, most groups remained relatively reasonable in their opposition to Universal Governance. As for Vahn and his extended family, they became the bridge between the Eternal Sphere and Fourth-Dimensional Space, guaranteeing the preservation of the former while working with the people of the latter to uncover the truth of their own origin...
---
After what felt like an eternity, largely due to the fact he inherited the memories and experiences of his Templates, Vahn departed from his Internalized Realm to find himself relaxing comfortably in his own bed. This filled him with a momentary sense of incongruity, but, the moment he met the gazes of the noticeably fatigued Theo, Mira, and Lisanna, a natural smile spread across his face.
Returning a smile of her own, Mira deiced to ask what the other two were thinking, her voice filled with undertones of concern as she inquired, "How long were you gone?"
Though it wouldn't be inaccurate to say he was gone for a much longer period of time, Vahn placed a kiss atop Mira's head before answering, "Eight months..." in a whispering tone.
Meeting Vahn's gaze, Mira got the distinct impression he was hiding something, so, without beating around the bush, she asked, "How many?"
Confused by the contextless question, Vahn tilted his head to the side, the gears of his mind turning until Sis took pity on him and explained, (*She is asking about the number of women you picked up despite stating you were simply going to observe.*)
Since his Template had been created around the time of the first divergence of fate, Vahn wouldn't be lying if he said he hadn't picked up any new women during his time away. Unfortunately, as his Template had only developed a true Ego towards the end of the journey, it wasn't wrong to say he was the one in control. Thus, rather than avoid any responsibility in the matter, he answered, "Just one..." since, prior to his Template gaining independence, they had shared a number of experiences with the remarkably affectionate Pericci.
Hearing Vahn's response, Mira, Theo, and Lisanna all showed genuine surprise on their faces as the eldest of the two Strauss sisters asked, "Only one? That is a surprising amount of restraint coming from you...can you show us what she looks like?"
Though his smile became somewhat wry due to her rather biting remark, Vahn extended his palm to create a three-dimensional projection of Pericci prior to their separation. The moment the three girls saw her, a glimmer of enlightenment could be seen in their eyes as Lisanna casually remarked, "She looks a lot like Fenrir...albeit a lot more 'bubbly'..."
Nodding their heads in agreement, Mira and Theo continued to observe the scale-model of Pericci, the latter tilting her head to examine the projection's backside, musing, "Oh my..." with an amused glimmer in her eyes.
Shaking his head, Vahn's expression relaxed as he dissipated the projection and briefly recounted the events that had transpired within the Actualized World. This explanation was aided by the use of Memory Projection Spheres, and, though it took several hours, he could easily control the flow of time within the room to afford them ample opportunity to witness his exploits. This led to a number of questions regarding the relationship between his Template and several other female members of the verse, but, as he was no longer in control at that point, he couldn't be held accountable for his Fellpool counterpart's actions...
---
With most of his frustrations thoroughly vented, Vahn departed the Little Garden alongside Theo, Musashi, Scathach, and, of course, Index. His return brought back a few unpleasant memories, but, having gained an additional 1300 years of experience over the course of an eight-month period, he was no longer as affected by the tragedy that had resulted from Chung's depravity and boredom.
After taking a few minutes to collect himself and organize his thoughts, Vahn decided it would be prudent of him to return to the Quarantine Area and liberate those within. He could always restore their data at a later date, but, rather than risk something happening in the future, it was best to take action in the present. He knew from the Law of Identity's acquisition of Data Eduan's memories that the latter possessed the means to effectively format the entire Hidden Floor, so, before karma and fate could reveal their hands, Vahn wanted to eliminate as many concerning variables as possible.
To aid in this endeavor, Vahn had compiled the data pertaining to the Hidden Floor's residents into a Memory Fragment that was then uploaded to the Intelligence Nexus that had been jointly created by Urahara and Android 21 in accordance with Da Vinci's original design specifications for the Ark, Mother, and Shadow Systems. This allowed them to mass-produce Gigai, artificial bodies that were functionally identical to normal humans, that perfectly emulated the physical appearance and base specifications of everyone who had been adversely modified by Chung.
Though it would normally take several hours to create a single Gigai, Vahn's ability to freely control the flow of time within the Little Garden reduced the time taken to a completely negligible amount. This was one of the most heinous exploits made possible through the combination of his status as a Tier 5 and the master of the Little Garden. Using it, he could even cultivate various medicinal plants and other cultivation resources that would typically take tens-of-thousands of years to mature. This, in turn, afforded him the opportunity to generate functionally unlimited OP, as, with the exception of goods purchased directly from the system shop, anything grown naturally could be traded in at roughly 1/10th its original value.
While it wasn't the most cost-efficient way to generate Origin Points, primarily because he would never task anyone with watching over plants for tens of thousands of years at a time, the gardens of the Seventh Layer had become the primary source of Vahn's OP income. The only caveats were that many 'heavenly treasures', plants included, became sapient after a certain amount of time had passed. They also had a propensity for killing and consuming nearby treasures, so, without anyone to keep order, a number of magical beasts, some of which were farmed for OP, had taken residence within the Seventh Layer. This made it a pretty popular place for live combat training, as, thanks to the influence of the Law of Progress, the creatures within grew powerful at an exponential rate...
---
Though he was quite accustomed to waiting, Yu Hansung was beginning to feel a little impatient after coming to learn that an Irregular different from the one he had anticipated had arrived on the Hidden Floor. To make matters even worse, the Irregular had freely trespassed the Quarantine Area to seek him out; and, according to the residents of the Seed, he had even greater authority over the Hidden Floor's systems than the Big Breeders selected to manage it.
Lamenting the lack of coffee within the Quarantine Area, Yu Hansung exhaled a troubled sigh as he vexatiously watched the bridge connecting the Seed to the larger structure of the Fruit of Good and Evil. He wanted to witness how the man named Vahn entered the area for himself, as, according to the reports of Batis and other trustworthy sources, the former had allegedly appeared out of thin air before disappearing in much the same manner. If this was true, it meant they could finally leave the Quarantine Area, as, according to the same sources, there had been several other people traveling alongside the presumed Irregular.
As if machinated by fate, a strange ripple appeared the moment this thought crossed Yu Hansung's mind. From within, a handsome man with windswept brown hair, energetic green eyes, and tanned skin emerged alongside two uncannily similar individuals. At a glance, the trio could be mistaken for triplets, but, with a few small variations in their facial structure, hairstyles, and choice of clothing, it was hard to be certain. The only thing Yu Hansung knew with absolute certainty was that they had the exact same eye pigment, and, as far as he could tell, power levels that were completely off the charts...

(A/N: It is no secret on the Discord server, but I've been severely ill for the past month or so. This has given me a lot of time to think about what I'm doing with both my life and the novel. As I have stated in the past, EPIC was always intended to be practice. To that end, I intend to continue writing until the story reaches a natural conclusion and all its central mechanics have been expanded upon. At the same time, however, I need to begin seriously considering my personal wellness and financial situation. I have neither a car nor health insurance, so, even when I could barely move around, I had little choice but to tough it out. Fortunately, writing doesn't require me to physically exert myself or leave my apartment. Had I been working full or part-time, I imagine I would have been in a similar situation as many of my fellow Americans. To that end, I am truly grateful for the support everyone has given me thus far. Unfortunately, this is also where a problem presents itself. Everyone is facing trying times these days, and, were it not for the benevolence of a few kind souls, I would probably be completely broke right now. Fortunately, someone was kind enough to contribute a $640 Path-level donation on my *******, but, as a result, several others also reduced their pledges. Now, I'm roughly $300-400 dollars beneath the level that was previously supporting me. If things continue at this rate, I might be forced to do other work just to be able to get by. This, however, would put EPIC at risk, so, despite some serious concerns from my parents and friends, I've decided to just say 'fuck it' and go all-in on writing. To that effect, I will be doing my best to release three chapters Sat-Thur. At the same time, I intend to start writing on an offshoot called 'EPIC Side Stories' that will only be made available on my *******. I don't have the heart to hold actual EPIC chapters hostage, so, in the hopes of improving my situation, I will be holding polls to allow the community to decide what the side stories pertain to. Examples include things like: the events that had taken place in the Tri-Ace Anthology, NSFW scenes between various characters, and anything else EPIC-related. If you are interested in being a part of the community and quite literally helping me survive, I will be making all side-stories available for a single dollar. For those who think this is unfair, know that I intend to make all side-stories public once EPIC has finished. I am forced into this situation by circumstance, and I hope this decision hasn't offended anyone. You all are what make EPIC possible, and, were it not for the support of many amazing individuals, I might not even be here right now. Thank you for your patience and understanding during these trying times...and, while it is hard to sound sincere in text, know that I am sorry things have come to this. You all deserve better than this...we all deserve better than this...)

Vahn was an atypical youth. Due to a rare mutation, his blood had the potential to target and attack ailments within the human body. Touted as a universal cure, people had elevated his status above the norm and given him the classification "Panacea". In the media, he was hailed as a great hero who would usher in a new era or human wellness. However, behind the scenes things weren't so bright. Being a unique individual, Vahn spent his entire youth locked up in a lab with various scientists and research teams using his body and blood to perform endless amounts of experiments. The only solace in his suffering was the various anime and manga made available to him between experiments. He often imagined himself as the protagonist in a world of his own, finally in control of his own destiny. For years he nurtured this desire, until at the age of 14 he died when an organization had tried to kidnap him from the lab...

"Finally, I don't have to suffer anymore..."

This was Vahn's last thought as he faded into the endless black abyss...

"You poor soul."

This is a work of fiction that draws heavily upon the original source material of Danmachi. Please support the official release and know I claim no ownership or credit regarding the existence of pre-existing characters or content.

* Orthodox Writing

Everyone knows what format a web novel is written in : Protagonist starts at the lowest point, gains a cheat, then kicks asses of various levels depending on difficulty.

These protagonists (only talking about male targeted audience) come in various types :
 01. Sword wielding ones – most popular bunch.
 02. Treasure wielders
 03. Having an expert mentors, etc. 


There are many more, and all of these are common templates, which are frequently used.


* What readers seek ?

It is a misconception that the protagonist of a story must be like an expert, who never loses, and searches for something elusive such as 'the peak of the sword' etc.

Actually, the readers do not care what kind of person the protagonist is, as they might be reading multiple web novels in a single day. What the readers search for are only three things :
 1. Authority
 2. Success
 3. Improvement

A web novel is a wish fulfillment novel, where the readers imagine themselves to be the Protagonist. This is why the Protagonist must, after a certain point, have high status in the story, success in all fields, whether academic or relationship, and a tremendous improvement compared to their past selves.

Such protagonists are called as the Orthodox Protagonists, who follow the pre-defined templates.


* Unorthodox Writing

Consider a typical scenario :

A teenage boy of sixteen pulls a holy sword from a rock, becoming a hero. Eventually, he sets off with a party of four – the hero wielding a sword, a barbarian man with a shield, an beautiful elf with a bow and arrow, and an innocent and curvy healer.

This is a common template, which has been used and refined over the years, with the hero who wields the sword being the Protagonist. The sword wielding hero will eventually seduce the elf and the innocent healer, and the barbarian man will become his best friend and right hand man (a.k.a. his subordinate).

Such web novels are difficult to write, as they have been already explored, and the readers are fed up with it.

This calls for a change in perspective.

Perhaps a story centered around the barbarian man.

Remember that your web novel must be "immersive", just like a good video game. If a novel is very immersive, then it will be hard for the readers to part with your created world.


* How to make a web novel immersive ?

01. Your Protagonist must not be a typical protagonist. In the above example, he can be anyone other than the sword wielding hero, like the barbarian man, the demon king, a merchant in the world, the king of the human world, etc.

The reason is that the template protagonists are usually elusive, and they are not much in contact with the world because of their 'mission'. On the other hand, a 'mob character' is more connected to the world, yet does not attract as much aggro as these supposedly main characters.

02. Your Protagonist must be a typical mortal.

Unlike the typical protagonists with indomitable wills and heavenly luck, your Protagonist can be a person with faults, like being greedy, lazy, or arrogant, etc.

These faults help the character to fit in the world better.

03. Your Protagonist should be affected by the world around him.

For example, if the Protagonist is a merchant, then he might hear of the hero's expedition and guess the demands in market for weapons, communication devices, food, etc. and make a killing.

Another example, if the Protagonist is a human city lord with a demon wife, he would proceed on a city expansion path to protect his demon acquaintances.
The point is, just as a hero has his quest, mob characters also have their own quests.


* Reference

The best example for Unorthodox Writing is Fang Xiang's masterpiece "The World of Cultivation".

Even the pets in this novel have their own characters and personalities, and aren't just weapons or mounts. They are just like pets in real life- we do not expect our pets to work. We only keep them because of our emotional attachment.

"Alright dad, you have a report for me?" asked Joseph, walking into his father's office.
William held up a finger as he finished writing something, then set his pen down and turned to him.
"The owner of a herd of sheep has requested payment for thirty-two lambs, that he claims a dragon ate."
Joseph laughed.  "That must be from the dragon that came to take me back to his Mother if Dragons."
"I figured, but I wanted to make sure it was alright to pay him, since you are the reason the dragon hasn't left yet…"
"No, that's fine.  Anything else?"
"I have several things.  I have news from the mages.  They have made several breakthroughs in attempting to make such magical metals as mithril and adamantine, by using RUIN on normal metals such as aluminum and titanium, after they've been enchanted into mithril and adamantine."
"Ah, great!  Those two are easy to make when you use EARTH TO STONE and STONE TO METAL."
"Their report says that the aluminum becomes mithril when enchanted, but acts like orichalcum until they use RUIN, then they can enchant it further.  The titanium becomes adamantine.  The aging effect of RUIN seems to stabilize them."
"I wonder how the dwarves will take this news?  Those are very precious to them."
"Our dwarven diplomat seems to think that they will be very disturbed, and cautioned us to tell the king only after we could form a stable gate between the realms for trade."
"Fair enough," nodded Joseph.  "Focus will need to be made to create PURIFY METAL and ISOLATE.  This will allow us to control the formulas in various alloys of metals, as well as stones."
"All twelve districts of your current kingdom, now have paved roads, using the best formula we have found for durability so far.  The sewers are finished in eleven of the twelve districts.  There are bath houses set up in every district center, and most of the sub-districts have finished construction as well.  LIFE tools have been provided to the public in every neighborhood.  All told, a lot of work has been completed in a very short time."
Joseph smiled as his dad shook his head, glancing through the next couple of pages of notes.
"Make sure my regards go out to everyone who helped and their spouses for such sacrifice to the kingdom," said Joseph, thinking about how hard everyone had been working.  With the Wizar template, overworking was going to be something he would have to keep a close eye on.
"I want every Wizar who worked over 90 hours, and every non-Wizar who worked over 60 hours, in the past week, to get three days off, to rest," added Joseph.
William nodded, marking it down on his list, then turned to the next page.  "All of the schools, government offices, clinics, and parks should be finished by next month, and then we have harvest, which will take a lot of hands."
"Great," acknowledged Joseph as he moved over to the spare chair his dad kept in his office.  Throwing himself into it, he gazed up at the ceiling.
"The laws are the next thing," said William grimacing.
"Ah, well, I have news on that!  Have you started getting anything back on the requested laws from the people yet?"
"Not really.  It's only been a day or two…"
"Fair enough," said Joseph, waving his hand at that, then continuing.  "I think I'm going to have Justice Spots put into place throughout the kingdom, utilizing the LAW rune to determine guilt for the most part.  Because everyone has such a high acceptance with following the law, I think they will take care of most of the problems that can arise among my people.
"Because there are so many different types of people in the kingdom, it will probably take decades to work out all of the problems.  I imagine we have managed to deal with all of the immediate and urgent cases by this point, and I'm sure there will be more as people settle.  I am going to revise the current laws majorly, once I return from the Mother of Dragons.  I'm thinking there will be three main laws."
"Only three?" squeaked William. 
"Yes, three main laws.  There will be a handful of lesser laws, but three should cover most every problem that arises with our template."
"The template is pretty strict when it comes to following the law," conceded William.
"I'm going to need you, Theodore, the prime minister who came with the prince, and Walter, from the north, along with Ormir, the previous beast-kin king, to oversee the influx of new law requests while I'm gone.  I'll go over them when I return.  It's a good thing that their lives were utter shavist before they came here.  They can see that we're trying, and are more forgiving of our inexperience."
"That's good?" asked William, looking at him curiously.
"Dad, I have so many different laws in my head, that I'm struggling to make some good basic laws.  If I wasn't so busy running around keeping the world from being destroyed, I could focus on them more, and do a better job."
"Can you at least tell me what those three laws you have in mind, are?"
"Alright.  The main statement for our kingdom, will be: Every member of the Wizar race is a citizen of the kingdom and every citizen of the Kingdom of Wizar is considered a Wizardian citizen, or Wizard, regardless of legal status, i.e. slavery.  The main core laws will be:
1) A Wizard may not harm the kingdom, or through inaction, allow the kingdom to come to harm.
2) A Wizard must protect the existence of Wizards if such action does not conflict with the First Law.
3) A Wizard may not harm a Wizard, or through inaction, allow a Wizard to come to harm, if such action does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.
"These laws will apply to allied countries and their citizens, at a lower priority than to Wizards.  And they don't apply to non-allied countries."
"That works," said William, thoughtfully.  "That allows the execution of criminals as harmful to the kingdom, but also demands the Wizar sacrifice themselves if a threat to the kingdom appears.  This also applies to you?"
"Yes.  It also means that payment of taxes is for the good of the kingdom, so Nidhogg should be happy."
William laughed and shook his head.  "That also takes care of suicide and murder; forces people to look out for each other, yet allows people to sacrifice themselves for the better good of someone else.  We can get rid of all of the laws that everyone has been complaining about."
"Yep, and it defines feeding the people who refuse to work, as harmful to the kingdom, and the problem disappears.  This should prevent assault of all kinds, and winning in a fair competition of business, law, etc. will not be considered harming someone.  This will also allow for us to add some lesser laws, that apply to those who have social norms different to others, without causing too much trouble.
"I want the age of adulthood to be decided by the base race, but make it a quarter of that race, because of the Wizar template accelerating the growth by four."
William nodded and took down the notes.  Joseph knew he had perfect memory, just like him, but he didn't have the magic to copy notes without writing them, in order to pass them on to the council.
"Are you leaving now, then?"
"Yes, before too many more lambs are eaten," chuckled Joseph, climbing out of the chair and heading for the door.
"Finally!" grumbled Stella.

I'm sure that as a reader, you guys are used to seeing those words from writers.

Well don't worry, it's not exactly what you guys are thinking. I am not planning on stopping writing ENDLESS MYTH. I just need to take a little distance from it. I'm facing a writer block for my original. I could have simply acted without informing you guys, but many of you supported me and helped me. So I owe you at least an explanation. 

Anyway, As you probably know, I'm writing a fanfic called THE TRIALS. For those who don't, it's a fanfic cross over with MHA as the first world. 

FRANKLY, the level of difficulty is too far apart.

For a fanfic, I already have a template. So apart from some OC, I might add, I don't really need to think about the world background and all that. My imagination flows easily. 

Writing an original story though isn't easy(not that writing fanfic is). The current arc of my original is giving me a headache. 

My expectations and reality were too far apart. At first, My writing skills couldn't keep up with my own thoughts, and now even my thoughts turn in an endless and useless circle. 

The chapter I posted yesterday really made me cringe. I knew what I wanted to do. I knew w where I wanted to go. But I was unable to write it. The final result was a chapter that really didn't please me. 

I'm sorry for all the fans who read my story. Please let me take a break from it and come back better.

Meanwhile, I will use my fanfic to train my skills. I will gradually try to challenge myself with it before slowly coming back to endless myth. I hope you understand me.

From now on, I will only post a chapter of ENDLESS MYTH when inspiration hit me. See you later guys.

[The gods are alive] 

1000 years ago, the rift opened. That day, the myths came alive one after the other. gods and devils became reality.

[The gods are bastards] 

1000 years later, the world still suffers from the sequel of the rift. Walking with a valkyrie, dunking with a giant, swimming with a mermaid. The extraordinary becomes ordinary. 

Humans, the weakest, but the most tenacious races found a way to not be outclassed and enslaved. Steal and grow. 

Be it by using the power of the stars, the power of the very being who threatened them, or even the power of technology, humans never stopped trying to reach the domain of the gods. 

Follow Sol, our hero, a constellationist, as he fights, grows, and reaches the apex in this world full of myths and conspiracy.



Disclaimer: The picture used as a cover doesn't belong to me.

Notice: I will always post on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at a minimum. I will always post more if I have time.

Notice 2: The chapters are separated in part. But each part is between 1500-2500 words on average. So each part is even longer than some chapters in other stories.

 I'm writing another story called TRIALS: PATH TOWARD GODHOOD. it's a fanfic. Go take a look.

This chapter has 1550 words.

Henry You had just gotten his Simulated Reality Device (SRD) as well as the Basic System Maker Kit. He pressed a button on the SRD, and it folded itself out. "Nice, it has a pocked dimension storage!" Henry said to himself. When it finished folding out it was a large Black Cube with so perfect edges 21 century Mathematicians would wage war for it.
He connected the SRD to a small l7-LPUEED. Soon it was charged up and he turned it on. A robotic arm exited the smoot surface of the cube and moved towards Henrys neck. Then a needle exited the arm and pierced his skin, of course only because Henry allowed it otherwise his skin is near impenetrable, then it connected to his spinal cortex and a System Interface appeared before Henry.

Without thinking Henry selected the Dark mode, he could not understand how anyone could use the deadly light mode.
[Selected Dark mode Color Scheme.] [Finished Configuration! More options can be changed in the Options Menu.]
[Menu:

- Options - ]
Exited he clicked [Create a Simulation] as Creating is way more enjoyable for him then playing. (this also applies to me, I like writing a bit more than reading, this feeling of creating something is just… wow, I can't really explain it.)
An Interface opened where he can select the base rules of the World he was going to create.
[Name: [New World]
Size: [1]; max: Infinite; warning: the greater the size the slower the simulation will run, speeding up time will slow down the user's perception at a certain level instead of speeding the simulation up; size also means the maximum amount of information a World can have; it is recommended to leave this setting as it is, as a value of 1 is enough to encompass an infinite Multiverse; this setting can be changed at a later date, however it is recommended to only increase it, decreasing it may lead to part of the World being deleted!
Base Time speed: [1000:1]; the time speed in comparison to the real world that the SRD should aim for, may be higher or lower when running the simulation; this setting can be changed at a later date.
Physics: [Base Template]; for new users it is suggested to not change the Laws of Physics of a World. Changing them without knowing what they do or creating a new set of Laws will very likely result in an Unstable World that may collapse at any point!; changing the Physics at a later date is possible, however it is very likely that the World will collapse after even the slightest alteration!
Special Laws: [None]; used to add for example a system of power like magic that is independent from the Physical Laws of the World; great to test out different systems of power before implementing them in the Physical Laws; can be changed at a later time, as Special Laws do not affect the World directly, other than is some special cases, they can be always changed.
Base State of the World: [Void]; the state of the World upon first creation.]
Large amounts of information showed up, as he read through them Henry got more and more exited. He only changed the Special Laws to [Base Magic Template] it was a Template that included everything needed to create a magic system while being in the World and seeing the changes live. He got it from the Basic System Creation Kit.
Then he pressed create. He found himself looking down upon a gigantic higher dimensional cube, this cube was filled with an also gigantic Void of nothing.
Henry opened the console and created two spheres inside this cube that was the Simulation. The first sphere took up 50% of the Cube while the other took up 1%. "That was a great idea I had, making a testing space and the running space!" He then focused onto the smaller Sphere. (I like sphere and layer systems, and so does the being of higher authority that created The Narrator.)
The Sphere contained nothing but a Void when he wrote a command. The Sphere changed and it now contained a misty fog, Henry named it "The Fog of Creation" this fog was equally spread but did not move as the simulation was paused. He unpaused the game, still nothing happened, then he removed a very small amount of The Fog of Creation, instantly chaos filled the Sphere, the fog rushed to fill the void, but it created more and more voids that the fog also moved to fill resulting in even more voids.
Then he wrote a command that created a small Sphere with an expanded space whenever The Fog of Creation collided when filling up a void. Those Spheres would then float in The Fog of Creation. The fog would not be able to enter the spheres, but the spheres could collide and fuse with others or be ripped apart if the pressure of The Fog of Creation was too great. The spheres also attracted each other, the nearer they were the higher the attraction.
He then sped up time inside the sphere that took up 1% of the simulation to a very high amount. Then a few moments later he paused the game. "Let's see what that made." The chaos had decreased a bit, but still was very high. Some massive voids had been formed in which immense Spheres floated about with smaller Spheres orbiting them. It was fascinating what order could originate from chaos!
Seeing that his initial plan had worked he also added The Fog of Creation to the large sphere, increased the speed of events inside of it and then went back to the smaller sphere. He now had to fill the expanded spaces that got created. For this he used one of the templates from the [Base Magic Template], that is Base Mana Template.
He used this Template to create a new type of mana and named it Origin Mana. This mana would automatically fill all expanded spaces and depending on the size of the sphere different amounts of Origin Mana would fill it. It would be moved around by the outside movement of its expanded space in The Fog of Creation and every set interval of time halve of it would become different particles. Which exactly would depend on its speed. When all of it had been transformed the expanded space would be finished and then randomly new things could be created.
He tested it in the small Sphere and seeing it worked as intended he paused the small one and added it to the large sphere. In the large sphere massively complex and interesting setups for all the expanded space spheres had formed as it still was speed up. After seeing that everything was ok, he opened the Base Mana Template again.
He created another type of mana he named Final Mana. This mana would be created when an expanded space gets ripped apart by the pressures of The Fog of Creation. The amount depends on the things inside the space that got destroyed. This Mana would then spread in The Fog of Creation and wait till nearly all expanded spaces got destroyed and no new ones are spawned. When this would happen, the Final Mana would all converge at one point and destroy a small amount of The Fog of Creation by exploding, thus starting the circle all again till there was no fog left. As for what would happen after that, he still needed to think of it.
An alarm rang *Ring* *Ring* "Oh, come on. I forgot I had to work." Annoyed Henry exited the simulation and teleported away. However, he didn't pause the simulation as he was in a hurry and it continued to run at a fast speed. He also did not define what exactly counted as a particle that was to be spawned by the Origin Mana, and so, many things that were in the [Base Magic Template] also flooded the simulation.
------
Is this Henry You the character from chapter 23? And what will happen with the still running simulation? Let's hope at least one of these questions will be answered. :P

Welcome to the Yackoverse!
A verse full of endless possibilities with all sorts of storys happening within it, ranging from simple hunting to destroying worlds all the way to the border of the 4th Wall!

The Yackoverse has, as the title says many short storys. Some are connected, others not. As I write not a whole novel but each chapter as a different story, I have more freedom as to what the topic (or story) of each chapter is in comparison to an author of a complete novel.
I’ll even try to write something you want! Just send a comment with an Idea or Concept! :D

I suggest you start at with the chapters 6, 10, or The Empire (30-?) to get a better idea of this novel, as the earlier chapters are not really that great in comparison imo.

The cover is edited together from multiple pictures of soap bubbles I found online. Fun Fact: From an in novel PoV each bubble is a different Story!

Ps.: I use 'Storys' as Stories was already taken when the name was still 'My Short Storys'. I absolutely totally didn’t misspell it back then! (This is also the reason why I used 'storys' instead of 'stories' in this description.)

Concept:
MC is a robot who's goal is to assimilate every being into his own, for they shall work for him. Maybe also to explore the world/galaxy?
- - - - -
Background: 
Yours to pick. I suggest fantasy or cultivation as it might be more interesting. technomagic? spiritual technology? All for your choice to pick!

- - - - -
MC's background: 
Like I said, I am just giving suggestions so, reincarnation might work. Or an actual robot who is lost from his galactic empire and crashed into a random world with his science ship equiped with the basic needs to perform research and make other living beings into one of him.
- - - - -
Romance:
No, just no, heed my advice as romance will f*ck this story up. You can add it, but if you also decide to add harem then you can basically already stop the idea of writing this story.
- - - - -
MC's personality: 
Cold is highly recommended from me. But comedic is also fun.
- - - - -
Add a system: 
System is really an easy template to work with and certainly works with this idea. But your choice.

Novel ideas for anyone who wants to write novels.

- 21st of March 2030, Tokyo. -
No matter whether you were watching TV, listened to the radio, or simply browsed through the internet -you would see a news-report about the upcoming release of Undral Legacy literally everywhere.
It was always the same: they praised «ArgoCorp.» for making the human dream of a completely immersive VR experience possible, and their affiliated game-design company «New-Level» for creating the very first VRMMORPG in the history of mankind.
Another thing they were talking about, was that the game immediately sold out in the online shops after a few seconds only.
"As you can see, the people here are waiting in the past 5 days in line for the offline-sale! No matter where you look, the sidewalks are crowded with tents and game-enthusiasts!             
Additionally, this is only one of the many shops in Tokyo with copies of Undral Legacy! In total, the first printing wave of the game is estimated to be around 28.000 copies, with many more already on the way! Official sources state, that several million people registered online for the next printing wave, ignoring the numbers outside of Japan!
After the release today, Undral Legacy is scheduled to launch in April for the rest of the world, for the reason that ArgoCorp. is still waiting for the servers overseas to be set up for them!"
The female reporter was conversing all excited in a loud tone, because of the noise in the background made by the people at the scene. You could hear them yell and scream in celebration and the reporter seemed to be trying her best not to join them.
I turned off the stream on the internet and shut down my computer. There was not much time anymore until the servers went online and I would not want to miss a single second of it.
As I sat down on my bed, I took a last glance at my room.
There was nothing special or noteworthy about it. Some games and novels were tidily lined up in shelves, a modern wooden wardrobe, a writing-desk with my computer equipment -paired with an office chair- and lastly the bed I was sitting on. I had no need for anything else, since I would spend most of the time reading some novels or browsing the web.
"It is 4 pm now." I stated to myself, as I checked the clock on my smartphone.
( Finally, the time has come! The server for Undral Legacy is about to open! )
I smiled brightly and hold up a certain headgear in front of me. It was the hardware which was necessary to connect and dive into the virtual world -the ArgoSpace.
I was lucky enough to order the game online, so I already had it delivered to me today.
In order to use the device correctly, I connected the sensors -that were linked to the ArgoSpace- at the top of my spine on my back, which was a crucial point for the human nerve system, and some on the left and right side of my neck.
Lastly, I turned on the gear and put it on my head.
All I now had to do was to simply lie down in a comfortable position and initiate the dive-process, by selecting the «Start» button in the menu on the screen with my eyes as an input device.
The interface was rather small and only covered a small part of my face, just like the equipment itself.
"The wait has finally an end, Undral!"
My words were full of excitement and without any delay the ArgoSpace took control over my body, engulfing my eyes and consciousness in darkness for a second. Shortly after, a bright light filled my vision as the game assets were loading, and many system gadgets scanned my yet invisible body.
When the game finished its start-up routine, a crimson-red text appeared in front of me:
- Welcome to Undral Legacy! -
I did not have much time to read it, because my vision blurred and I found myself in a virtual room for the character customization, shortly afterward.
This mostly empty space looked like the embodiment of a science-fiction. Data constructs were passing by, decorating the digital walls that surrounded me in a circle. I seemed to be completely alone in this room.
"Welcome to the magical world of Undral Legacy, Player!" A female system voice called out to me, happily greeting my arrival.
There was not anything for me to reply. I was still dumbfounded about the design of the place I found myself in, but now an automated system began to talk to me out of nowhere.
"To start off your own adventure in the vast world of Undral, please enter a name for your new character!"
In unison with the voice, an interface titled «Character Name» popped up in front of me with a gentle bell sound.
The contents of the small window were just a blank space with an «Apply» button on the bottom.
I did not give it much thought and began to type on the virtual keyboard, which appeared as soon as I pressed on the blank space. The letters that I pressed one after another were: "M-y-s-t".
To wrap the whole process up, a single tap on the confirmation button was enough.
There was no system message notifying me that the name was either invalid or already taken, so the interface closed without any problems afterward.
I would often use this name in online games if it were not already taken. There was no special reason behind it, other than that naming was not one of my greatest strengths and a good friend of mine picked it out for me.
Luckily, since UL just went online, the chance of my name being already taken was incredibly low.
"A great name choice, Myst! To finish your customization, you will now have to choose the appearance of your character in Undral Legacy. In order to make your look unique and the editing easier, we processed the calibration of your ArgoSpace and the entered personal information to create a character template. Please edit and adjust the look to your own preference."
While the voice had yet to finish, a virtual model of a person manifested in front of me.
To my surprise and shock, this character template really had been configured and build after my real-world appearance to the even smallest details. It was as if I was looking into a mirror.
Well, obviously you could tell that it was a digital replication of me since the look of this world drifted slightly apart from the real world. This was only natural because it gives off a greater fantasy feeling that way.
Still, it was almost frightening how accurate the data was that the ArgoSpace had collected from me from the calibration.
You see, in order to safely use the device, there were a couple of steps you had to take first. This procedure was called calibration.
Since the ArgoSpace makes use of Brainwaves and the human nerve-system, it needed more information on the person using it.
For example, touching yourself on your shoulders and your feet gave the system enough data to record the needed distance for calculating your height. If you followed the whole process correctly, the ArgoSpace should have created a virtual image of your body.
The policies of ArgoCorp. required you to enter some personal information afterward, like hair-color, age, address and so on to create a user-profile. It was apparently needed for legal reasons, such as in the case of emergencies or tracing back criminal activities.
I could understand that very well, since people tend to behave carefree in absolute anonymity and ArgoCorp. ensured they would not misuse the information.
As I swiped through the available customization options in the character interface, many common gadgets such as changing your hair-color, eye-color, facial features and so on were present.
It was an interesting concept to start with your real self, because you could slowly edit and adjust the unique template to your liking, creating a better version of yourself. Or at least give yourself a slightly different look, that fitted into the fantasy setting if you were already pleased with your appearance.
I decided to configure my character template quite a bit by changing my black hair-color to a western blonde together with a spiky long hairstyle, a more defined face and making myself overall more muscular. You could say that this was the typical fantasy hero look, but there was something about it that intrigued me.
It was also a nice change to my rather androgynous appearance. I was your typical gamer, so I would not do something like building up muscles in the gym and I was only 17 years old to begin with.
"Now this is what I am talking about!" I exclaimed, grinning widely at the creation in front of me that I had designed.
I was just about to confirm my character customization on the interface when something strange happened.
For a short moment, the virtual model in front of me distorted just like the TV screen when it had signal issues and switched to my original template, before going back to the edited one.
"How strange..."
Waiting for something to happen, I stared at the customized character for a short moment, but nothing similar of the sorts occurred afterward.
I decided to shrug it off as a glitch and pressed the button to apply my changes. However, exactly at the moment that I tapped on the screen; the exact same glitch started to take over again.
This time, my character did not return to the edited version and simply stayed in the template form. I had hoped for the system to announce an error and ask me to confirm again, but that did not happen.
"This completes the character-creation setup! We hope that you will enjoy the magical world of Undral and the limitless features to its fullest!"
The female system voice conversed normally with me again and did not notice any errors or complications.
"No! Wait a moment! This is not what I selected!"
The system of Undral Legacy did not pay any attention to my protest and before I could add anything more, my vision had been engulfed in a white light once more.
When my eyes caught sight of my surroundings again, I was not in the digital construct of a character-creation room anymore, but in the middle of a huge plaza.
The place was crowded with tons of players, where crazy hair-colors greeted me in every direction. Many of them looked like warriors from fantasy novels.
Within this huge crowd of avatars, there was me, who was now stuck with the default template of my real-world appearance.
Even though, I wanted a style that differed completely from the actual me, I was presenting the virtual world of Undral Legacy my real-life body.
"You've got to be joking, right...?!"

"The virtual world is a place, where your fantasies come true. -However, it can also become an eternal prison."

In the year 2030, humanity had realized the dream of a completely immersive virtual-reality experience and announced the first-ever VRMMORPG: Undral Legacy.

At the Opening Ceremony, however, Helios -the world's most infamous hacker- had seized control over Undral and imprisoned 28.000 players in the virtual reality -along with a new rule to the game: If you ran out of life points, your character would be reset back to zero!

On the quest to discover a method of returning to the real world, Myst -a 17 year old boy- starts his adventure through the magical world of Undral!

The black SUV drove into the Villa. 

Getting out of the car I saw the hour that it was late afternoon, I walked into the house, greeted by the servants. 

I immediately walked to my room, because this afternoon I had lunch with Luis so I no longer need to eat, and just waiting for my parents to come home. 

Right now it is 4:35 p.m. so it is still late afternoon usually the mother comes home at six or seven at night. 

I went into my room to take a shower because my body was sweating. 

Wearing shorts and a white shirt, I sat in front of the computer while smoking a cigarette and exhaling cigarette smoke. Because right now I need a lot of money so I make projects that can make a lot of money and not even projects that burn money. 

I think the thing that can make a lot of money is the game, well right now it's still not developing fast so I don't need to worry. 

Right now I have two good game projects and of course this idea is not my idea, I got this idea from a game that was once popular inTERRA, although this game comes from several thousand years but this game already has a lot of Remakes so this is suitable for your current project this. 

The first game is the pixel genre game and in my opinion it's a bit classic because this game uses Box as a base so everything in this game has a basic shape of the box. 

And this game used to be very popular in TERRA even the VR version has evolved to be realistic, I will give this game a MINECRAFT Name, the name is the same as before. 

For the second game I will take the theme of agriculture but this game will be launched later along with social media tools, this game is called MyFarm and this game is not only for profit but also to promote the social media devices that I make. 

My hands keep on typing, a series of strange letters appear on the screen, if ordinary people see them, they will certainly be confused and can even get a headache, but for the programmers, the enthusiast must have shining eyes, well I'm writing a template for MINECRAFT, I will only write Just a basic template so if I had money I would buy a game studio that would go bankrupt so they could continue this game.

My hands continued to move involuntarily, as my hands continued to type I heard a knock on the door. 

Hearing the knock I stopped my work and stood up from the chair and walked towards the door. 

When I opened the door I saw my mother was standing in front of the door and I asked: "What's wrong mom?". 

"Dinner is ready, you better hurry down and eat together". 

"Yes, ma'am". 

Seeing mother go down I entered the room and save the template first, after that I turned off the computer and walked out of the room. 

Walking to the dining table I saw my father who was sitting at the dining table and mother who was preparing dinner. 

I sat and dinner together began, the dinner atmosphere was not festive, I just ate and answered the questions my mother gave me. 

After dinner I immediately went to the room and sleep.

...

Sunlight shining brightly through the bedroom window. A young man sleeps without a shirt and only wears shorts, his eyes flicker and slowly open his eyes. 

Feeling the sunlight shining on me I opened my eyes slowly and looked at the clock at 09.05 am, I immediately got up from bed, then washed my face and brushed my teeth. 

I went down to the floor and came out of the villa, I did push-ups and a few other sports. 

Feeling that my body was sweating I went into the house and showered, after showering I had breakfast with a sandwich and drank a glass of milk. 

I saw the clock was 10:30 in the morning, today I already have an appointment with Paul to meet with the publisher who will publish my novel. 

Introducing a neat shirt and black casual trousers, I climbed into the car and drove out of the villa. 

I asked Paul to meet at the cafe, we promised to meet at 11:00 noon. 

After driving for a few minutes I stopped in front of Starbucks, well this is one of the biggest coffee shop cafes in the world. 

I walked into the shop and walked to where Paul sat. 

There I saw a man in his 40s or 50s sitting in front of Paul and it seemed they were discussing something. 

Seeing me approach Paul got up from his seat and shook hands with me. 

Then the man in front of Paul also rose from his seat and Paul said, "Sean introduce this Mr. Martin Lewis of Black & White". 

I shook hands and said: "Hello Mr. Martin". 

"Hello, Mr. Sean". 

We all sat down and ordered coffee, then talked a few small, unimportant conversations. 

Because no one talked about the novel, Paul started the conversation. 

"Mr. Mairtin then how are we going to work together". 

Putting down the coffee cup Martin said: "We are Black & White will publish and promote this novel, I am also very optimistic about this novel". 

Paul said: "Then what about profit sharing". 

"We will pay the copyright dividend with 5% of sales profit". 

Hearing those words I smiled and said: "Mr. Martin what Black & White does not have sincerity, what if I receive 15%". 

"Mr. Sean 15% is too much we can't give it what if 7%". 

"7% is too little Mr. Martin, Alright Mr. Martin 10% no bargaining". 

Hearing that, Martin thought a bit, in fact if the Black & White business is currently very bad, with the Galxy Bandit novel it will definitely turn a profit and make the Black & White business improve. 

"Alright Mr. Sean 10% we can sign the agreement later". 

"Good cooperation." 

"Good cooperation."

We shook hands and discussed a number of things when lunch was almost here so we would sign the agreement after lunch.

Sean is a failed man from a planet named TERRA, he becomes a homeless bum, one day he was died, but he did not go to heaven he arrived at awake with a strange man's body and saw a strange sight.

And he discovered that this is an alien planet called Earth technology here is very backward Sean found that this was a blessing given by God to realize his ambition of making a GREAT COMPANY.
