"Wh...who.." Alfonso was so stunned that he couldn't complete the phrase.
"I….. Don't have a specific form….. or name.... For years people have called me by different names…. Atropos…Cloto…..Laquesis….. etc... all in all, I am just a bystander" Said figure, curiously the voice of Artemis that Alfonso heard before wasn't there, now, it was a mix between a man and a woman, furthermore, Alfonso couldn't tell the age, if he didn't see the form of Artemis, he wouldn't be able if this voice was human or not!
"Wait a minute! Cloto….. Laquesis….. Atropos…. Where have I heard those names before!?" Thought Alfonso.
"I…. don't have much time…..Alfonso Lockheart….. you are a new variable that it wasn't in my calculations before.... I warmed Primordius about this….. but she didn't listen...….. She never listens" Said "Artemis"
"Primordius.... Who-"
"You don't need to know.... However, what you need to know is this...… No matter what you do….. No matter the circumstances...do not trust the gods….. nor the ones that are here…. Or the ones that you have brought to this world…" Said the voice.
"She… she knows about the system!" Though Alfonso.
"... I don't understand! " Said Alfonso.
Before "Artemis" could say anything else, she looked a little absent-minded and then made a long sigh.
"She already caught me ... its seems..... That my time is over...…" Murmured "Artemis".
"Artemis" looked behind her, Alfonso follow her gaze, but he didn't see anything there.
"Alfonso….. you must not forget... you have to remember!" Said "Artemis" while lifting her hand and pushing hard towards Alfonso's chest, Alfonso saw that the hand passed his skin and felt the hand grabbing something.
His heart.
"What are you doing…." Said Alfonso who has never felt so afraid on his life like now.

"Artemis" grabbed his heart and began to tighten it.
"Do…..not...forget!" Said "Artemis".
*Crush*
A small crushing sound could be heard in the quiet night.
.........….
"AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Alfonso shouted like never before.
"Ha….ha…ha…..ha" Alfonso was out of breath, he rapidly sat down on his bed, he looked one side to the other, but he couldn't see anything.
"What…. What happened….. I remember that Artemis was.....hmmm?.... wait…..Artemis?...no that isn't it....she told me.....?...someone told me something…?" Alfonso though that he was forgetting something, but he didn't know what was it.
"Ouch, what?" Suddenly, Alfonso felt a small pain on his chest.
He unbuttoned his pajama and saw a small hand mark on the left side of his chest. He instantly became pale.
"What the hell is this?" Thought Alfonso.
............…..
[At the same time]
[In a place who anyone knew about]
"Artemis" was sitting in a chair surrounded by darkness, the only thing that it could be heard was the ticking of a clock.
"Primordius.... I don't know what are you playing at...…..but you are playing with something you shouldn't..." Said Artemis.
A figure could be seen in the shadows, it couldn't be determinate if the figure was a woman or a man, however, what it could be distinguished in the darkness was a pair of large-red eyes and a playful smile.
"....." The figure seems to move his/her mouth, but nothing could be distinguished, however, "Artemis" seems to understand.
"!?...Primordius!... are you planning to...!" Said "Artemis" while her face became ugly.
"....."
The figure said something else and then chains began to appear behind "Artemis", the chains lock Artemis limbs.
"Primordius….. Don't do it!" Shout "Artemis", however, all she could saw was the smile of the figure growing wider and wider.

"PRIMORDIUS!!" Shout "Artemis" before been complete drag by the darkness.
............…..
At the next day, Alfonso woke up as usual.
"Strange…. Did I have some weird dream yesterday?" Thought Alfonso.
However, he didn't give much of a thought and began to dress. When he took out his pajamas, he saw a small mark on the left side of his chest. It was a hand-size mark.
"Weird…. What is th-"
DO NOT FORGET!
Before could conclude his thoughts, a phrase come to his head.
"Forget….. Forget about what?" Though Alfonso.
He thought and thought, but nothing came to his head, so push back to his mind. The strange thing was that, every time he looked at his chest, the same words came to his head.
DO NOT FORGET!
.........…..
Alfonso came to the main hall, Artemis had already left to her usual hunting duties, Demeter was looking through the window, she was talking to little blue, who when to his "home" yesterday for some reason.
"Alfonso, good morning~" Said Demeter.
"Good morning, Demeter, hello there little blue." Said Alfonso.
Little chirped happily and took its spot on Alfonso's head.
"What are the plans for today?~" Asked Demeter.
"Well, Cerberus should be waking out anytime soon, so we should just-"
*BOOM!*
Before Alfonso could complete his phrase, an exploding sound came from the second floor, Alfonso and Demeter looked at each other for one second before running towards the second floor. When they got there, smoke was rising from Cerberus's room.
"What happened" Though Alfonso.
He and Demeter stood there for some time, but seeing that nothing happened, they slowly walked towards the room, when they got there, they could see the figure of Cerberus through the smoke, however, when the smoke dissipated, and they took a better look of the figure… they find something….. Strange….
""What the fuck is that?"" Thought Alfonso and Demeter at the same time.

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.
