The End Of Life Chapter 134
Advertisement
As the three people outside received the shock beyond their imagination, Mark opened his eyes. Rubbing his eyes, he looked around and noticed the surrounding darkness. He clutched his head as the pain kicked in again, gritting his teeth once again, forcing down the pain. He took deep breaths and closed his eyes.
Slowly collecting himself again, he remembered Suzie and looked around only to see darkness once again. Rubbing his eyes, he noticed something strange. A small ball of light in the distance. Curious, he slowly stood up and made his way towards the ball of light.
As he walked closer, the small ball became larger and larger. Not only did the ball of light become larger, but he also noticed two other things. One was that there was another similar ball a few meters from it. This ball was the exact opposite, it was completely black with purple in the mix.
Unlike the warm and fuzzy feeling he got from the ball of light, this ball gave him a grave sense of danger, making him stand on his edge, looking at it warily.
The other thing he noticed was the weird chains across the ball of light. It was like the chains were holding the ball captive. Walking closer, he even noticed a huge lock right in its middle. He turned towards the ball of darkness as he named it because of how opposite it felt, did not have any restriction like the chains.
He finally stopped moving and looked at the two balls in front of him. He didn't move forward to the center because of another small ball. This one was grey. This ball was only the size of his fist, very small. But the oppression he felt from it was unbelievable. He noticed different colored waves coming from both the huge balls, converging into the small one.

The wave from the darkness ball was purple and from the light, one was something he felt familiar with, a yellow wave. Seeing the yellow wave, he remembered them coming out from his hand before he fainted. He looked at the small ball in front of him and felt his headache as he stared at it longer.
Removing his eyes from it, he remembered the strange dreams he had in the past, whenever he fainted. The first one was when he saw three people, all of them looked holy, like the angles he read in mythologies. The other one was when he saw people who looked the exact opposite, devils.
These two distinct people gave him these two distinct balls. Now that he was once again in Infront of the two balls, this time without the strange people, he felt that the dream was real. Because of the changes. The changes he noticed from how they looked like in the dreams before and now.
After gathering all his thoughts, he had only one word in his mind, 'Superpowers'. Something he only saw in games and like any other gamer, he liked the concept. He started to feel like his whole life from the moment of the eruption of the zombies changed. The life he wanted to take became more exciting, making him forget about death.
As he felt that, he remembered something his mother told him in the past, 'Remember Mark. Everyone would hit rock bottom in their life, at one time or another. But pushing yourself through and walking out of those times is what makes the people either losers or winners. When you hit that bottom, I want you to forget everything around you and do what you want to do. Just forget everything. Remember Mark, don't make the same mistake as I did and remain silent."

Remembering his mother's weak body when she held his hand and said those words, he felt angry and weak. He hit the rock bottom when he was about to commit suicide. But he is now pushing through all this stuff and doing stuff he always wanted to do. The thrill of constantly being on the edge of life and death is very satisfying.
Opening his eyes, he never felt clearer in his head. He looked at the three balls and remembered Suzie. He looked around for a way of exit, but couldn't find any. As he started to slowly panic about his friend, he felt pain kick in once again.
'Let's leave.' he thought as he slowly fell with his eyes closed.
As he opened his eyes once again, he noticed the moon in the sky with numerous stars and felt relieved. Slowly pushing himself up, he looked around to see his friends in the distance cooking food. He patted the airbag he slept on and pushed himself up.
He felt a bit of the previous headache slowly easing in and felt energetic. Hearing sounds, Kevin looked around and noticed Mark slowly walking towards them and stood up. This caught the attention of the rest as they stood up and made their way towards him.
"Mark, you should rest more man. You are too stressed out, that you are fainting too much." Kevin held him.
Mark shook his head and David said, "He is right. You should rest more."
"I'm fine. I know my body. It's ok. Suzie, your normal." Assuring them and looked at Suzie in front of him with a smile. He already guessed what happened to the wound.
'The yellow waves actually had that power.' glancing at her arm. He felt surprised that his ridiculous guess was actually true. This was huge. A power like this could save the world, but he knew it wasn't possible. The cost of that power was mostly the headaches he was hit by when he used it. If he does continue using it then things would probably go wrong for him.
Suzie nodded happily and recounted the incident. Mark smiled at her happiness and didn't reply. He didn't want to leak that he has powers to them yet. His powers were too much in the current situation.

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.
