《I'm the King Of Technology 》Chapter 799: New Home
Advertisement
After having a grand welcome, the tired but overly excited Zalipnias were shown to their new home.
Lucia stood in her suite in a daze.
The gorgeous chandeliers, stunning room decor, T.V and everything else left her utterly speechless.
"Princess, if you have any major problems or need our assistance, just hold the phone like so, punch the number 01# on this daily pad and it should connect to our staff down below.
With that, I bid you farewell."
The Butler bowed professionally, stepped outside and closed her door.
He had briefed her on everything about the room, so there was no point staying any further.
'Bam!'
Lucia, who had been trying to contain herself to some degree, finally exploded.
The first thing she did was run towards the room and jumped on the massive king-size bed there.
Holy cow! It was big!
Ahhhh!
She rolled on it from left to right and right to left several times while trying to fully take in its softness.
Earlier on, she felt like the cushion in the limousine was the softest thing ever.
But how could she have known that she would be wrong so soon?
The bed was so soft that it was quickly sinking her to sleep.
But she dared not sleep yet.
How could she do that when she hadn't even finished exploring her grand room?
No! This room was freakin' huge.
.
She had 2 walk-in bathrooms and 2 massive rooms at the opposite ends of the suite.
One bathroom had a jacuzzi in it, while the other even had a steam room in it.
Let's not even talk about the mirrors that were so clear and clean when compared to the copper or bronze mirrors that she was used to.
Once more, she was shocked by her own reflection.

She had only seen herself properly using tge mirror in the limousine.
At first, she thought it might be some illusion.
But now, she knew that this was how she really looked like.
Which girl didn't fancy themselves when looking at the mirror?... Especially when they knew that they were indeed good-looking?
She wasn't narcissistic or anything, but this was her second time seeing herself this clearly, so of course she would look in the mirror more.
Soals, towels that were also soft, bathrobes, magical water that flows on its own, magical lights and everything else around her looked too good to be true.
After exploring her bedroom and bathroom, she then went back into the massive parlour space that looked like a hall.
The couches, mini bar, multiple Tvs, and other amenities made her feel like she was living in luxury.
But that wasn't all.
.
She also had a massive balcony that showed the stunning view of the palace's West angle.
So far, she was pleased with everything.
She quickly glanced at her phone book by the table and turned it page by page.
There were 3 public phone books written in Pyno, English and Roma.
Of course apart from these 3 phone books, there was another phone book there that focused only on the general palace and room service phone numbers.
For sure, this particular phone book had 3 sections in it for the 3 different languages as well.
Lucia flipped through them and was very pleased.
It looked like these people had incorporated the Roma language into everything else, making it easier for them to live here.
Up next, she selected a cassette from the massive wall collection and followed the guidelines on the manual on how to use it?
And what did she choose to watch?
Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

But before she could even watch it, the phone rang and she dashed towards it speedily.
Hahahahhaha!
She finally got a chance to test it out.
.
'Ring! Ring! Ring!'
'Chu-lick!'
"Hello?"
"Sister, is that you?"
Lucia's eyes opened in shock: "Big brother Andrew, is that you?"
Earlier on before the butler left, Lucia had given her room phone number to her brothers.
And they left to see their own rooms while the butler continued showing Lucia around hers.
So she didn't have their room numbers, but they had hers.
Of course, she wasn't worried that they wouldn't be able to find her because from what she was told, this floor only had 4 rooms on it and she knew their room numbers.
So she could just knock on their doors if she really needed to see them.
But this phone thing makes it easier for them to communicate with each other while relaxing.
At least this way, even if she just got out of bed early in the morning, she wouldn't need to run to their place just to speak to them.
.
"Big Brother Andrew, is that you?"
"Hmhm.
It's me, little sister.
Oh, and Javis is on the line too."
"Javis?"
"Here, little sister.
We are on something called a 3-way call.
Isn't this great?"
"Yeah!
Hey, Brother, I saw a magical box thing that comes to life."
"Yeah!
Me too!
I also saw it as well."
"Are you all talking about the thing called a fridge?"
"No!
It's the T.V box thing."
"Which one is it?"
"Tsk!
Brother, you weren't paying attention when the butler introduced it right?"
"Hey!
I was in a daze okay?
I was still lost when he opened the fridge." Javis said awkwardly.
Who could blame him?
Very quickly, they all chatted and marvelled at everything that they had seen so far.
As of now, they were very pleased with their new home.
And once again, they couldn't contain their excitement, so they agreed to meet up in Lucia's room.
At least there, they could watch their first Tv show together.
.
The Tv came on and they were now watching the first episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
The scene started with a full moon with the sounds of some wolf howling in the background.
For some reason, their hearts skipped a bit in panic.
They looked around the room just to be sure that there were no wolves around.
They had to say, the effects from the Tv. Box thing made them scared to death.
More still, how could there be a moon in the Tv box?
Had these Baymardians successfully captured the moon and brought it into the T.V box thing?
As expected of their saviour's people.
They too were Godly!

Summon Imp!
Travel with a newly born demon as he grows and learns in his own world as well as in other worlds as he gets summoned again and again. Usually to die or kill for others in strange and exciting places, but it's never certain what the next one will bring. It has its perks. With each new world comes a new story with new experiences and new lessons. There is always more to see, more to learn and more to know. Maybe, someday, it will all make sense. For now he will just work hard to become stronger, to be useful and, hopefully, survive that way. A coming-of-age story, but different. Things start to slow down to a crawl. Colors blur into one another until my vision is completely white. All I can think is "Shit, not this again!" I hate being summoned. _________________________________ updates once a week until I get more time The idea for this story began in two places. One was the ridiculously rapid pace of gaining power in many novels. Both in games and in novels, I enjoy the struggle of the beginning character, why always the rush? The other was the way many monster or non-human MCs always seem to hurry to become human (again). It always felt like a cheap way to grant the character extra powers without the difficulty of writing a non-standard thought process. Thus I wanted to write the slow(ish) progression of a monster character gaining strength and intelligence, while remaining distinctly non-human. There are no stats, xp or systems, no reincarnated soul or completely formed being to start with - unless I want to make fun of those. While the MC 'evolves', the process takes months if not years to proceed step by little step. Sit down with me and imagine, what would it be like if...

Ætla Verǫld
AV Online was just a flash in the pan—a harsh, experimental land which lost most of its players in mere weeks. Only the dedicated few remained, carving out their destinies in corners of the vast abandoned world. Lily Quinn wasn't one of them. With a career worth millions in the esports world, she didn't have time for a game like Avo—but when an exclusive beta test for the new version showed up on her doorstep, she couldn't say no… as much as she wanted to. Literally hooked into the simulation, Lily reluctantly entered a world beyond anything she'd ever dreamed of. Accompanied by seven other beta testers desperate to save their beloved game, Lily dives into a vibrant, beautiful world, where mystery and adventure waits around every corner. Despite her reservations, Lily finds a joyful escape in Avo, shattering her cold, hollow reality. It was just a game though… until the group discovered they couldn't log out. Trapped in a game with no rules, and surrounded by cutthroat players eager to kill for a quick windfall, Lily and her ragged band have no choice but to fight their way out, or die in a game that has turned all too real. Hi there! I'm setting off on yet another adventure, come join me :3 Unusually for me, there's only one perspective this time, and it's quite a bit more action-oriented than I usually write. Don't worry, though: everything's still as character-driven as always, and I never get tired of writing dialogue. Just to acknowledge it up front: this story is heavily inspired by EVE Online and the many stories generated by that world. However, since this is a fantasy setting, not sci-fi, don't expect any real parallels. Chapter publish rate for this one will be whenever I write them, as with Epilogue. I don't expect to move as fast here though, since it's not for NaNo. The plan is chapters somewhere in the 4k-5k range, and hopefully frequently. The Last Science takes priority as always though. Special thanks to Reaver and Ace Arriande for pushing me to get this going, and to all my fellow writers whom I've stolen from been inspired by. You're all wonderful people and I love you Quick reminder: Patrons get to read ahead of what's published! Also, try my other works: The Last Science — A Tale of Modern Magic Epilogue — A Post-Fantasy Psychodrama What are you still doing on the synopsis? Get to reading!

Binary Progression: Torrented Edition
This was ment to be the self-published 'real' book of Binary Progression; turns out there isn't much of a market for this kind of story... that and it sucked! As such I am writing another (more successful) series but this was just laying about my book folder so I'm posting it here, please forget the fact I said it sucked, pretty please. JohnWillStab is the poorly-named shut-in on a quest to get into MMOs after a failed online career backfired leaving him uninterested in his speciality, strategy games. He discovers an old, abandoned game with an active, albeit very eccentric, community of no more than five-hundred players on a single server maintained by an unknown individual. Unbeknownst to him, the game he found is more than just an ordinary WoW clone and after many adventures with his group, they make the terrifying discovery that after two full volumes this story becomes a god damn isekai. What’s worse, JohnWillStab, the number-one edgelord on the server is somehow ending up in positions of power despite literally being an undead rogue with evil magic tentacles! Will John’s edginess ruin the isekai? Why does the doctor have the highest kill-count in the game? Is 👑 really a valid character you could use for your username? Can the chef perform an exorcism? Why is God asking John for chicken nuggets? Really, he could just spawn them in - in fact, we saw him spawning food in before!

Of Righteous Evil
To wield the magical Arts. The power to manipulate nature itself. Follow Silas on his journey as he learns what it means to be a Mage. With war brewing on the horizon, Silas' plan to become a hero clashes with the harsh reality of conflict. Torn between contradicting emotions, he will have to reconsider his perceptions of both good and evil. Does the end truly never justify the means? Note from author (13.09.20): Sentences have been shortened, less commata used. Paragraphs have been split up. Meant to be "realistic" fantasy, with no overpowered protagonist or evil sorcerer trying to destroy the world. The focus lies on the characters, their progressions and their inner conflicts, coupled with an intricate magic system. Constructive criticism is highly appreciated! HIATUS Updates: 12.12.20 Chapter 1 & 2 are written together. The backstory of the parents will be integrated into one of the later chapters. 20.12.20 Prologue has been rewritten, fight added. Will now continue writing the chapters until the first arch is finished. 19.01.21 Chapter 15 is written. Will hopefully be able to write more from now on, university has been kinda rough these days. 08.04.21 Chapter 16 & 17 has been written. Beginning will be rewritten (again) to start with chapter 3. Chapter 1 & 2 will be shown through reocurring dreams / nightmares. 10.08.21 Rewriting of the first arc is complete and has been proofread twice. Plot of rest of book one is 80% complete. Will publish chapters once first book is finished and proofread. 06.12.21 Second arc is finished (chapter 24/31-33). First draft will likely be finished around February, after which I will edit a few suggestions of my beta readers and publish it on RR. Release schedule: Once a week on Sunday, chapters are around 3000 words long. (HIATUS, see last chapter for more info) Cover art by Riverman09

Summoning Shenanigans
Adding in [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Sean was a chemist on Earth with a lovely family life. Everything was going well, until a group of gods decide to summon him to their world. An unfortunate appearance by the trickster god derailed a normal summoning, and now Sean finds himself in a pickle. Content warning: There will be profanity and quite probably some gore, though the point of the story will not revovle around any gory scenes. I'm also including traumatising content as there will for sure be slavery and rape. The rape will be alluded to and not described, there are other places for that. I think this also explains the grimdark tag.
