Armipotent Chapter 556
Advertisement
Tang Shaoyang quickly found out the mystery behind why he had a stack of Attribute Points. Math was the worst thing for him but he managed to calculate it after almost an hour. The extra attribute points were the excess from the maximum attributes, his Strength and Magic Power were maxed out and the excess of the attribute points he got from leveling up went to attribute points.
"So I have 38872 extra attribute points. My Strength maxed out and so did my Magic Power…" He muttered in a low voice. He must think of a way so his attributes would not be wasted away. He needed to allocate them if he wanted to go further than twenty waves.
But he was in a dilemma whether to save it or allocated it to the other attributes, "Also why would there be a limit for the attribute? I thought it was limitless but there must be a way to lift the limit," Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow.
"Now I miss my spirits…" He let out a sigh. If the spirits were here, he could ask some advice from them. He would not be confused like this, "But wait… Epic Rank… Maybe this is the reason why I have to reach the Epic Rank. It is to lift the limitation of my attributes. So I can't save my attribute points then?"
[The second wave will attack you in five minutes!]
——————————
[Second Wave]
Composition: 20,000 Stage 4 Monsters, and 10,000 Stage 5 Monsters
Countdown: 00:04:59

"Meh, this should another easy wave,"

Meanwhile, back to Biaska Town, Roan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead as he was facing two angry women. Selena and Ashley were angry that he did not inform them that his Lord was taking the Trial of The Epic. He now had to face them with his head lowered.

Before, Ashley was just part of the dying Ambrose Family's members. However, she was now his Lady, his Lord's woman. He had to give her the same respect as he respected his Lord or else it was the same as he disrespected his Lord. Fortunately Roan knew that Ashley just faced his scummy father. He could make a good excuse with that.
"Lord Tang does not want to disturb you two so he just left a message to me that he is taking the Trial of The Epic," Roan replied with a forced smile.
Selena squinted her eyes at the old man for a moment before she let out a sigh. That was what Tang Shaoyang would do for sure. She shook her head and pulled Ashley with her. Getting angry at the old man was no use, "That's the thing he would do for sure. We can't blame Sir Roan for that,"
At this point, it was truly childish to blame Roan for that. If someone should inform them, it was him who should do that. But since he did want to inform them, she could not blame Roan for that. The old man was innocent in this case. She let Selena drag her out of the room.
"So you should know more about the Trial of The Epic, right Ashley? Can you tell me more about this trial?" Selena was new to the game. Before she was brought to Earth by Tang Shaoyang, her world had just undergone a transformation. So she had no detailed information about the game aside from the basics.
"It is the trial to pass the level cap. Level 1000, that's the maximum level for us. In order to lift the limitation, we need to reach Epic Rank, and to reach Epic Rank we need to pass the Epic of The Trial. He is facing the trial to lift the level cap," Ashley summarized about the trial to Selena.

"What happens if he does not pass the trial?" That was the thing that Selena was concerned about the most. What if Tang Shaoyang did not pass the trial?
"Died. There are only two results, either pass the trial or dead. But I don't think that he will fail in the trial unless…" Ashley paused as she thought something. The Trial of The Epic was not common knowledge to everyone but that was the information that could be found in the Royal Library of the Lionax Kingdom.
As someone who graduated from the Lionax Academy, she had access to the Royal Library. She had a lot of information about the Trial of the Epic, and she knew about the seven stages that needed to be passed in the trial. She also knew that one could go through more than seven stages to get a better reward.
"Unless what?" Selena was worried that Ashley suddenly fell silent.
"Unless he tried to force himself and continue the trial further," Selena had a confused look on her face with her explanation. She knew nothing about the Trial of the Epic.
"In order to finish the trial one has to face seven waves of monsters. However, you can face more waves of monsters to get a better reward. What do you think he would do?" Ashley looked at Selena to know her reaction, "What do you think he will do in that situation? I believe that it should be easy for him to pass the trial if he only faces the seven waves of monsters but I am not sure… What do you think?"
Selena let out a sigh, "He will take the risk for sure…" She just became even more worried if that was the Trial of the Epic's mechanism. She was sure that Tang Shaoyang would take the maximum risk for the maximum reward.
"I am kinda worried now. My father finished eight waves to pass the Trial of the Epic. That's an average wave for an Epic Rank but depending on the class, a certain trial is more difficult," Ashley made the same worried face the more she thought about it.
Tang Shaoyang not only had a unique class but he also had a second class, and also a bloodline. She was not sure but maybe he would face the highest difficulty for the Trial of the Epic.

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.

Interface
Welcome to the World-City of Thousel, the sixth iteration of life on the planet. These are the recordings of the people of Thousel. Thousel is believed to be the second longest iteration of life, and the overall most prosperous compared to what we know about the past five iterations. Medicine and technology have all progressed abundantly, and the world itself has been turned into one great city, governed and managed by the Governmental-Company Alliance, or the GCA.These particular recordings concern the discovery of a peculiar machine. When two very different people find themselves bound by the fate of one mysterious bot, life in the World-City begins to change… Interface is a cyberpunk webnovel set in an ecumenopolis world where people evolved with electro-sensory abilities. These senses shape the face of modern technology and life in a world where the three largest corporations run what has effectively become the government. Each of these three companies control various aspects of life in the city, and they all constantly vie for domain and power over one another.The world stands at the precipice of biological, technological, and historical breakthrough. After decades of study into microbiology, archaeology, and geology, it has been discovered that sentient life has lived on the planet multiple times over. These past peoples are referred to as the “prior iterations of life,” and it is believed that five great civilizations were constructed before the rise of the modern world. No one can be sure for certain what caused these peoples’ extinction long ago, and the theories range from simply dying off over time to massive tectonic fractures in the face of the planet. Advanced technology, far more complicated than anything the people possess today, has been uncovered in multiple locations. This has lead scholars to speculate on exactly how long each iteration of life survived and how far they progressed as a society. None of the companies have been able to find a way to make this ancient technology work for their own profit. It is as though they are each missing the final key needed to unlock these centuries old secrets. What could this knowledge reveal about the nature of life across every iteration? What power could it give to the one who wields it?Far from the investigation into the origin of life, two kids unlock a new mystery – one that ties their fates to the discovery of an old, mysterious robot. Suddenly, eyes begin to turn towards them as life in the city of Thousel changes wherever they go…
