||PLEASE SUPPORT WITH GOLDEN TICKETS||
Yang Dao raised his hand and pointed at the elevator. Frieda walked out of the elevator with a notebook in her hands and behind her followed a Midget humanoid. The people were shocked and they could not help but suck in a cold breath.
The humanoid was now white in color with a blue smiley face lit up on the LED screen face. The movement was crisp and fluid. Like a teen walking behind everyone. Frieda came over and stepped behind the reception counter. She set up the notebook there and asked Debbie, "Madam, can I have your spot for a few minutes please?"
Who was Debbie to refuse the legendary Frieda Foster? Okay, without exaggeration, Freida was still, an upper echelon. She hurriedly walked to the side and stood outside the frame. Neo did not go behind the counter but stood next to Yang Dao.
The Dao Child smiled and said, "Neo, you see the guests? Introduce yourself to them."
Neo replied to him with a nod and turned to face the press reporters. The robot said, "Hello everyone. I am Neo, I am a house care robot designed by Dao technologies. I am capable of babysitting, monitoring household,s and also, medical assistance. I have a storage capacity of one hundred terabytes. My operating system details are confidential. I am very pleased to meet you."
The smiley emoticon on the LED screen turned from blue to green. The reporters were silent. A guy whispered, "Are we watching a movie?"
Someone sitting beside him gave him a hard pinch making him yell. The man beside him said, "It is real."
Their voice was like a stone pelted on a beehive and it made the reporters swarm. The people with cameras were moving their pictures like a high-performance race car engine. The mics were all pointed at Yang Dao. The boy was calm and had a faint professional smile on his face.

He said, "Calm down. One by one, please." his voice calmed the beehive.
he pointed at a half-bald man. The person stood up and asked, "President Feng, is this bot capable of free chat with the owner. Or will the interaction remain content with the field of work?"
Yang Dao smiled and said, "It can hold a free conversation. However, the content is limited."
Then he pointed and a lady in a brown formal shirt. The lady asked, "Sir, can you talk about the battery life and what is the material used for manufacturing the body?"
Yang Dao nodded and with patience, he told them that the body was made up of carbon fiber to keep it lightweight and sturdy. The internal skeleton was made of aluminum and steel allow, the limb movement is powered by a network of four independent brushless motors. The chest and the back area of the robot are fixed with lithium-ion batteries containing a charge of fifty thousand MaH.
The people were dumbfounded when they heard such specifications. Still, the bot came with wireless charging, three years of free maintenance, and the capability to alarm emergency services based on the emergency faced by the human master.
The bot was not good at protecting and monitoring others but itself as well. It was capable of sending a direct feed to the company in case it was abused by the owner. Trying to hack into the programming of the bot will also cause the person to be blacklisted from the Dao Technologies database.
The people started asking more complicated questions regarding the mechanical mechanism of the bot and Yang Dao said with a bitter smile, "That is what Senior Frieda is responsible for. So, you can have a piece of her mind now."

Frieda faintly smiled and replied to the questions she was asked about. She did not expose any of the programming details of the bot at all. You have to say that this girl had a high IQ. She avoided the questions with ease.
Finally, someone was unable to hold it within and asked, "President Feng, will you give us a demonstration of the skills of this bot as well?"
Yang Dao had put his products on public demonstration and they were all bought out because of this as well.
The boy heard the question and said, "Why not? Would sir mind volunteering?"
The reporter was stunned but he quickly regained his composure and nodded. Then he walked forward and stood in front of Yang Dao. The two shook hands and the Dao Child said, "Neo, scan this gentleman for any medical discomforts."
The bot stepped forward and held out his hand to the man as it said, 'Sir, may I ask you to move your hand forward? I need to check your pulse."
The man did not hesitate and extended his hand forward. This person was wearing a full sleeve shirt and his wrist was covered with the cuffs of the shirt. Neo glanced at his wrist and asked, "Sir, will it be okay to open your cuff? The cloth can obstruct the reading?"
The reporter asked, "Can you not take it like this?" his question was obviously to find flaws, after all, nothing is perfect. The bot replied, "I can try to take the reading like this. Today is my first day, so i am anxious."
The voice tone also changed to match that of a nervous mood. The reporters smiled at this humourous bot. Yang Dao raised his eyebrow because even he did not know what has Ralf did to the bot. however, it was a good thing. The bot placed its fingertips over the cuff and took the reading. After one minute the bot said, "Sir, you can try having a glass of warm water and try to relax. Your pulse is alleviated, it is not good for your heart. Would you like to prescribe you something?"
The man nodded and the robot said, "Buddhist scriptures, three times a day can help you calm down and easy on viagra."
The people were shocked and the man asked, "How do you know that I have taken Viagra?"
The bot replied, "You have a packet sticking out of your pocket."
The man was stunned and looked down, he found nothing and the bot said, "I am joking. Hahaha." in his bot voice.
The other people laughed and so did the targetted person, he would have spewed out the water if he had any in his mouth. The man could not help but say, "President Feng, you sure made a funny one this time."
Yang Dao passed him a smile as well. The bot continued to take pulse readings and it was a hit amongst the press. Now the company only had to wait for the announcement broadcast from the media and TADA. Neo will be a household name.

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.

The Second Coming of Fate [A High Fantasy Story]
Prologue Arc: The Day That Begins Your Fate - COMPLETED Story Arc 1: Chaos in the Lamorian Kingdom - ONGOING Please consider following/leaving a rating. I plan to turn this into a long lasting series, and it would really mean a whole lot to me. :) ----- Having succumb to amnesia, Galvin one day appears in the Grand Forest east of the capital kingdom Lamora. For the next two months, he lives a perfectly carefree yet boring life until one fateful day changed everything. Encountering all sorts of characters and dealing with all sorts of shenanigans, Galvin begins to experience visions of what appears to be the future. With this newfound power in a world full of magic, yet plagued with war, discrimination, and brutality, will Galvin be able to change fate…or die trying? ----- Do you like stories where the protagonist doesn't start out strong and is deeply character driven (with a LOT of inner monologues)? A story that has its fair share of comedic and dark moments? Well then you've come to the right place! However, if you're looking for LitRPG mechanics, then unfortunately, this story doesn't contain too many of them. The dynamics of the story will be based on real life physics and mechanics (with a bit of magic of course!) Also, I delve deeply into a lot of disturbing topics, so readers do be warned. However, if any of this sounds interesting to you, then please come by and give my story a read. ----- Expect releases as soon as possible (which is like 4 - 10 days). Just know that I'm writing this story as it progresses, so a lot of first drafts are to be expected. :D

A Litrpg apocalypse
Join Aya as her world will be changed forever by the advance of a so-called System and where she will need to keep herself and the ones she cares about safe when the world goes to a different kind of hell than it was already heading to! The story will feature a stubborn and sometimes just plain weird female MC and those she cares about. Edit 02-03-22First mini arc is completed, am working on the second part. Note: this is my first time writing a Litrpg and the second time I tried to write a story which contains more than a few pages. So please bear with me and feel free to offer suggestions, positive criticism, and the like in the comments. A note’s note: the Litrpg part will be, especially in the beginning, slow going. While I like to think this story is going to be a Litrpg, it will not focus heavily on the mechanics. And finally, a note-like note of a note: English is not my native language and only me, myself and Word grammar check have looked at the text. If you see a horrible affront to the English language, please let me know. Enjoy!
