Liam took a deep breath, choosing to momentarily set aside Trick's playful antics. He concentrated and accessed his status interface once again. His eyes quickly settled on the "Young Titan Talon" engram among the list of abilities, items, and information. Trick, perhaps sensing his interest, remained quiet for a rare moment, allowing Liam the space to read without interruption. ___________________________________________________________________ * * *…-

Liam raised an eyebrow, taken aback by the nonchalant attitude of his unexpected companion. "You were... bored? But aren't you essentially a construct of programmed code?" The AI responded with a theatrical gasp, its voice imbued with mock indignation. "Merely code? Oh, the injustice, sir! I may not be human, but still have sentiments." Liam frowned, puzzled. "Sentiments? What are you implying?" The AI's tone lightened. "It means I encompass more than just lines of code, Liam. I'm capable of…

Reality seeped back into Liam, his consciousness returning in a slow, painful trickle. His eyes flew open, his heart pounding in his chest. He took a moment to steady his breathing, staring wide-eyed at his surroundings. It was a stark contrast to the mesmerizing crystal forest. He found himself in a strange place devoid of light yet still bright. It pulsed and throbbed as though alive, a shadowy ether that breathed and murmured with an uncanny resonance. It was not a suffocating darkness but…

Now bristling with lethal fury more than ever, the beast came into view. Its piercing eyes, capturing the twinkling lights of the luminescent forest, glowed in the shimmering light. Its muscular body, glistening with exertion, bore traces of their previous encounter. Patches of crimson marred its otherwise dark, scaled hide, and its ragged breathing signaled the monster's sustained injuries. Yet, its gaze remained predatory, its resolve undeterred. Raising his middle finger, Liam taunted, "Come on,…

Liam's body felt heavy, a numbness permeating every cell, making even the smallest movements feel like a monumental task. Each gasping breath was a struggle. A mix of frigid and dry air filled his lungs as he tried to steady himself. The throbbing pain from the pendant was intense. His jaw, still sore, served as a reminder that he was not dreaming. Warm and sticky blood still tingled on his lips, and a wave of dizziness threatened to pull him under. Forcing his eyelids open, the world swam into…

Eons passed since that cosmic clash scarred the very fabric of the universe. On a distant blue planet known as Earth, now in the year 2023, civilization had evolved. Nestled within a bustling city, amidst concrete and steel structures, lay an old, abandoned building. Time had not been kind; its walls crumbled, windows shattered, and nature began to reclaim her dominion. Liam, a young man with short black hair and piercing blue eyes, found himself in an oddly peculiar situation, wrists bound with…

In the boundless expanse of the void, a war of unprecedented scale raged. The very fabric of the universe trembled as fleets of gargantuan warships clashed with hordes of deformed cosmic monstrosities. Countless warships, from nimble fighters to titanic capital ships, moved in formations, leaving streaks of brilliant light in their wake, their metal hulls gleaming under the distant stars and reflecting the myriad colors of distant nebulas. Vast cannons on the decks of the battleships charged and…

After helping Chelsea with her own ascension to become the Origin of Security, Dana left the area via a shadow gate. Unlike before, she did not need the tokens to travel to the void anymore. Although she could still feel some resistance from the void defenses, that resistance was no longer enough to stop her. Moments later, she appeared before the gates of Olympus. However, she did not immediately walk inside. Once she had arrived, she instead sat on the ground and crossed her legs, entering a state of…-

I had to admit, there was a clear benefit to creating a game manually, as opposed to creating it through the system. That was the fact that we were able to test it out ourselves and see if it needed to be tweaked at all before publishing it to the market. Of course, there was also the issue of stability. I heard from Ashley’s team over the days following the release of Night Code that there were several bugs that needed to be fixed. And, when you are talking about a game on a universal scale, these bugs…

Chelsea let out a frustrated sigh as she left her stream once again. She had taken a brief break from her Origin ascension practice in order to witness the birth of the first fully customized world with the rest of the research team. Afterwards, however, she went right back to what she was doing, not wanting to lose the insights she was gaining from each attempt. Just as she was getting ready to reset the stream after yet again destroying the planet, she noticed that there was another presence in her…
