VRMMORPG - Chapter 5

When Hugo’s vision turned white, he reappeared in a completely blank space. Grid lines formed the floor and ceiling of this place, but other than that, Hugo couldn’t see anything of substance.

But before long, it was as if tiles began to flip, and from one end to the next, the world slowly opened to reveal…

Water.

“..!”

Hugo was shocked when he found himself underwater. But his body and mind remained completely calm.

Thankfully, it seemed someone was ex...

VRMMORPG - Chapter 4

*Pshh*

An Artifact pod opened, and a red haired girl stepped out.

The metallic fluid that she had been submerged in slid off her body along with the magnetic fields, making her completely clean, dry, and spotless when she exited the pod.

Moving her body and cracking a few joints, she walked out of the room and toward another area of the complex.

For the past 7 months, Hugo had been holed up in the damn gym training all hours of the day. She had gone to watch one time, ...

VRMMORPG - Chapter 3

One day, Hugo was standing within a gym inside the complex he lived in.

He looked around at all the machines that were used for muscle building and conditioning. There were literally hundreds of all different types.

As the Child had told Hugo before the game’s launch, since a hundred years ago, humanity had begun to reach and surpass a wall that was previously thought to be the end of their potential.

Around the year 2050, what was known as the dawn of Superhumans graced t...

VRMMORPG - Chapter 2

10 minutes to launch.

Hundreds of thousands of people logged into the waiting room every minute, increasing the population density of the inverted world.

Among the millions before Hugo’s eyes, Suri pointed out any celebrities that popped up.

“Look, that guy right there won the American national MMA tournament last year. Truly a superhuman.”

Hugo’s vision zoomed in when he focused, revealing the champion that Suri pointed out.

The man was 6 foot 3 inches t...

New Story: VRMMORPG

This story was inspired by the great many chinese novels centered around a virtual world. Except with my own spin, and technically a branch of my short story "90%".

Synopsis: 

There are dozens of stories about online VRMMORPG’s that tell the story of a main character’s rise within the game against all odds.

But what about the creator? What happens to the person or people who actually devised and constructed such a popular and influential game? Do they jus...

American Isekai - Chapter 6

I had many questions about my new power of summoning. I wanted to know what that energy was, how I could increase it, how to unlock more stars, and how to properly summon weapons.

Thankfully, it seemed like the time to learn these things wasn’t far off.

Although the Patriarch of the Tavera Family had promised me, I had no idea who the Polaris Family was or what they could give me.

It was only when I arrived at the warehouse that Plex explained.

“Oh yea, they’re a...

American Isekai - Chapter 5

It was the so called air specialist who was trying to catch me up close. On the contrary, the fireball one kept his distance intentionally.

I could only assume that the air specialist had the ability to fight up close. Still, I was running out of energy, so I needed to do something.

And I got an idea.

I turned a corner, just as I always did.

But I stopped. I turned and looked back to where I knew the air specialist would come. In fact, I even charged back around, my kn...

American Isekai - Chapter 4

After another job, I learned that I would be working in the night as a delivery man.

The Black Market operated at all hours of the day, but only at night did the true doors of darkness open.

Basically, we delivery men weren’t supposed to operate during the day. The daytime was when we received orders, and when night came, we fulfilled them.

So my sleep schedule needed to be flipped, which wasn’t too difficult of a change.

When the second job of my first night was c...

American Isekai - Chapter 3

Plex walked me into what seemed like a small warehouse. The only issue I had with it thought was how the entire building gave off a bad vibe.

My intuition was something I trusted, not that it was the ultimate tool of prophecy. But it had kept me out of bad situations and away from psycho girls in the past, so I learned to run with it.

“This job is rather simple. We receive delivery orders on that wall right there, and you can choose the jobs you take. When you take a job, you’...

American Isekai - Chapter 2

“Gahh!!”

I couldn’t help the scream as I jumped from the floor.

My breathing was rough as I looked around, and I found my new surroundings to be both unpleasant and soothing.

Hills of grasslands spread as far as my eye could see. It was a bright sunny day with a cool breeze that served to calm me down.

But I still didn’t know where I was. Combined with the shocking experience with that robot truck, I wasn’t exactly in the right frame of mind.

I slowly s...

New Story: American Isekai

This is kind of a fun story, not meant to be serious like others. The premise basically explains my reasons for having started this story. 

Synopsis: 

It’s not always the Asians who get isekaied. Very rarely does an American get isekaied, though the isekai gods have reasons for that.

It’s time for John Hatchet to remind them of those reasons

John Hatchet was playing his favorite game.

Kicked back on an old leather ch...

Cultivation - Ch 7

“Ack!”

Arte crashed into the staircase, snakes hot on her heels.

After pulling herself up, she turned back toward Kit.

“I-I’m sorry! I was too focused on running from the snakes…”

“...It’s fine.”

Kit spoke quietly before tearing his gaze away from her pitiful appearance. It didn’t seem like she had been bitten, so she could see the snakes just fine.

“Alright, let’s keep going.”

Bai Hao waved for them, and the three walked to ...

Cultivation - Ch 6

Everyone gathered in front of the pillars that led to the stairway.

All the entrants seemed to be nervous, even the ones that knew they would make it. Just the fact of this being a life changing moment for all of them made them anxious.

A man at the front, the overseer of this entrance ceremony, briefly explained what to do. His directions were short and simple.

“Walk up those stairs. Those who get to the top of the first zone automatically become members of Light’s glor...

Cultivation - Ch 5

The two docked on the floor among the many other ships.

Xia Zhilan led Kit through the thousands of people before the palace, pushing their way through to appear in front of the entry gates.

At those gates were people behind tables and checking entrants in.

Xia Zhilan directly bypassed the huge line of people, appearing before the gatekeepers and speaking with imposition.

“Xia Zhilan.”

She simply spoke her name, causing the man behind the table to glance at h...

Cultivation - Ch 4

Kit closed the book softly.

He was completely silent even as tears streamed down his face.

Xia Zhilan couldn’t know what kind of things he was thinking about. The journal was shocking, to say the least.

She coudln’t imagine. Bonen had told his son that he was desinted to die young, and that even Kit might be subject to the same destiny.

It was a twisted curse. Generations of fathers dying while their sons were young, and no matter how much talent they attained, the...

Cultivation - Ch 3

Elder Xia returned from the Palace, arriving at Kit’s residence.

There were now 4 days until the ceremony.

Upon her return, she found Kit asleep just like he was before. Come the next day though, she made sure to watch as Kit trained.

But his training… She wasn’t sure if she could call it that.

Traveling to the forest not far from the residence, she managed to spot Kit during the dead of night. However, he was dashing around the forest like a maniac.

He was...

Cultivation - Ch 2

The Light’s Glory Sect wasn’t what it was many years ago. Neither were Dragon’s Eye nor Spear’s Blossom.

But it was through no fault of their own. Raising a Demigod wasn’t easy, especially so for the Light’s Glory Sect whose previous demigods were a husband and wife pair.

So with the devastation the Red War caused, an event that killed hundreds of elders and apprentices alike, and outright removed the demigods from the world, it was a struggle to climb back to the peak...

New Story: Cultivation

Another new story, but one that doesn't have as many chapters written. Title is also subject to change. 

--------------------------

The Red War.

A demonic invasion orchestrated by humans that spanned two continents.

The Continent known as Glory was home to the Three Great Sects, the highest sects under the heavens.

They were: The Palace of Light’s Glory, The Prominence of Spear’s Blossom, and The Dragon’s Eye Island.

All of them were home to unfa...

It's a Revolution - Ch 10

Grace placed a keg of water out in the back garden of the manor for Audius, whenever he decided he would return.

Since she wasn’t interested in waiting forever, she strolled through the manor and found Tiya’s room.

Entering, she saw the small girl who recently had been regaining her health at breakneck pace.

She hadn’t been horribliy malnourished in the dungeon before her execution, but she never ate as people like Grace might have. Having full meals at least twice a d...

It's a Revolution - Ch 9

I met with the owner of the mine when he showed up at the manor the following morning.

And I must say, my first impression wasn’t that great.

A tall yet chubby man, he sweat all over as he appeared before me in the study. His red face tried to smile as best he could, but with his hair that was pasted down and thin mustache, I could only see him as an underground swindler.

He really wasn’t the most presentable, but I really only had one rule when it came to people I made ...

It's a Revolution - Ch 8

Sir Campbell was silent for a moment, perhaps processing my words, or perhaps surprised that I was actually talking back.

The only way in which I was going to use Sir Campbell as an assistant would be pertaining to the iron mine. In regards to everything else, he was just an employee. In the end, I was the lord of this city now.

This could be called drawing a clear line between us. I would easily admit that I needed my father’s investment. Without it, the establishment of my ind...

It's a Revolution - Ch 7

Tiya stood before a mirror, twirling the new dress she had on.

When Grace said she would go shopping, she really meant it. As Northtown frequently traded with Silk Valley, they naturally had a lot of fashionable and comfortable clothing available for sale.

And Grace didn’t skimp. She bought Tiya an entire wardrobe. And after playing dress up for a few hours, Grace finally left her alone to go talk to Audius.

Now, as night settled, Tiya tried a few dresses on for herself, s...

It's a Revolution - Ch 6

My talk with the Baron went rather simply.

Because it was a small city, there wasn’t much in the way of law and policy. The people of the town lived by basic rules like no stealing or killing, and other petty crimes were either dealt with personally or became a legal case heard by the city lord who would deliver his judgement.

Other than that, everyone lived lives that weren’t complicated by any kind of extensive legal system.

And beyond the city, the Baron had a single ...

It's a Revolution - Ch 5

Come night, I retreated to my room and took a seat at a desk.

No electricity meant I had to light an oil lamp, which illuminated a blank stack of parchment and a quill pen.

I didn’t need the quill pen though. After activating my Tool, I could feel my left hand change.

The burns, blisters, and raw skin had healed over by now, meaning I no longer had to cover my arm in bandages. Still, from my hand to shoulder, everything was covered in scars. It was rather nasty.

And ...

It's a Revolution - Ch 4

Baron Hviral’s family was naturally happy to hear that Grace and I weren’t just evicting them before taking everything.

In fact, becoming the assistant to a Duke’s child, regardless of their position in the family, was far better than their current situation. So long as I was as open as I showed myself to be, they would be able to prosper much more.

The name of a Duke wasn’t to be taken lightly. Even a Duke’s bastard child needed to be treated well, let alone a legitimat...

It's a Revolution - Ch 3

I returned to the world and pulled open one of the windows to look outside.

Our escorts and their horses trotted into the city on stone roads. The city guards stood to the side respectfully and stiffly.

I looked up at the sign we passed under.

‘Northtown.’

That was the name of this place, a name that came from a time when this small city was much smaller.

Many heads were turned as our carriages entered, dozens of citizens staring at our escort that was equipp...

It's a Revolution - Ch 2

Duke Fawkes was responsible for a massive portion of territory that comprised an entire quarter of the Verlenium Empire.

There were three other Dukes of the Empire that managed the other three quarters. And within his own territory, there were smaller Countys that were managed by a few Counts and border territories managed by a couple Marquesses.

As a Duke, Charles Fawkes was treated to be superior to even the Imperial Princes and Princesses, of which there were a few. In that way...

New Story: It's A Revolution

This is the first chapter of a new story. It is the first of many that I will be mass-posting over the next couple days.

They called it the Matter-Tool.

A revolutionary item that could assemble and disassemble material objects with ease. It was the ultimate tool for construction and synthesis.

Even after a dozen years passed, the Matter-Tool was still their most valuable object.

OS - Afterword

July 1st of 2020 was when I posted my first chapter for Origin Seeker.

Now, October 1st of 2022 marks the day of the last chapter.

Over two years… Thousands of hours of thought and work…

All of it has come to a close.

This was never a perfect story, or even an amazing one.

One day, I decided that I would write a story, one that satisfied all of my tastes and built the grand vision that I had for my best story. I wanted it to contain all of the cool things tha...

OS - Final Chapter

“Hey, what the hell is this?”

It was about the time the 1000 year mark had passed.

Dream, sitting on a couch of his home living room, was facing his sister.

And the Keeper, who sat beside her.

His eyes were narrowed, but Melody wasn’t one to be intimidated.

“We’re planning to get married.”

“Since when?”

“Since about 960 years ago. That’s when we started dating.”

“What..? Good god! It’s not enough that you drop this bomb...
