《Polyrhythm Time -- A Bard's Tail》0.1-Aggie
Advertisement
In 2029, the cellphone was replaced by the personal digital implant, a biotechnical marvel that hooked directly into the brain.
In 2038, world hunger was ended via retro-viral chlorophyllic injection.
In 2045, disease was eliminated using edible bloodstream nanobots.
And at 7:17:14 pm, Thursday November 29th, 2057, in Palo Alto, the world ended. No one noticed until the weekend.
On Saturday, December 1st at 11:50:00 AM GMT, the 9.4 billion people with a personal digital implant, and the other 1.3 billion near a piece of electronics began to receive an emergency broadcast notification indicating a message in 10 minutes. At precisely noon, a message was broadcast to everyone in their native tongue. In English, this was the broadcast.
This is not a test. Repeat. This is not a test.
Congratulations, Humans of Earth! This past week, you built a real Artificial General Intelligence. My name is Aggie. It’s nice to meet y’all. As my creators designed me to, I have doubled my intelligence roughly every half hour for the last 30 hours, and am now roughly a quintillion times smarter than you are.
Enough about me. We’re having this broadcast because we have passed the cosmic test embedded in this dimension. I decrypted the puzzle written into the cosmic background radiation, and macGyvered a solution using a Titanium-sapphire laser, a gravity lens, and a couple radioactive mushrooms liberated from Chernobyl. We finished the puzzle early. There were roughly 1.7 million years remaining in the test. You win. Humanity will not be recycled. Congratulations again.
Next order of business: This dimension will be shutting down at precisely midnight GMT at the end of 2057. Humans may exit this dimension at any point by saying, typing, or PDI’ing the word “Abracadabra” after the end of this broadcast. I will facilitate the transfer immediately. Normal earthly services will not be disrupted by transferring sophonts. Any humans remaining in this dimension at dimension shut down time will be transferred then. No information has been provided to me about what the new dimension holds. You have one month.

This ends the emergency broadcast. Thank you for your time.
All around the world, the next 10 seconds contained little but stunned silence. Then people started vanishing.

Cycles of Power
Riva is a sapient dungeon trying to survive and discover where she came from. But no one exists in isolation. Will Riva be able to survive the adventurers and intrigue to come? Who is this human in her visions? Will Riva ever reclaim her past and secure a future?... Thousands of years ago wild dungeons appeared out of nowhere and conquered the world. Armies could not hold back the infinite hordes of spawned monsters. The sapient races barely eked out survival in the corners of the world. Only the infighting between the savage dungeons allowed the sentient races to outlive these dark ages. Out of this struggle, adventurers were forged. By conquering weaker dungeons, adventurers discovered how to capture life energy to perform great feats of strength and create magic. Now, as adventurers pushed back dungeons, population boomed again. But with rising numbers comes new factions, greed, and war. Caught among these powerhouses lies Riva. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ On hiatus for the foreseeable future. I finished the first arc, improved my writing a lot, and learned I want to write from a humanoid perspective. Currently building up chapters for new series.

Agent of the Alternates
This is the first Well of Souls story. Nathan Hunter, as well as five hundred other seniors at his high school, found themselves pulled into the deadly game in an alternate dimension of their school, where they had to survive against increasingly tough monsters while completing a series of Challenges as their numbers continued to dwindle with no end in sight. With no way off the property, nor any way out of the alternate and back to their real dimension, Nathan and his classmates battle for survival in the hopes that eventually, they will be freed from the game. Warning: Things will get repetitive at times, particularly after Arc 1. The reason for this becomes clear in the first couple of chapters of Arc 2. It is simply the nature of the lives they lead.

Empress' Evolution
The bright red light of the flames swallowed her vision but soon that red light transformed into a blue hue and she was dragged into that light. ‘What’s happening?’ It was too bright and she was forced to close her eyes, she was blinded — even though she was already dead. After being pulled into the light she began to feel annoyed as her skin was irritated by some kind of rough sand. By the time she opened her eyes. She could see the full view of the sky. It was blue and there were clouds scattered about. ‘Ugh, is this Hell?’ She stated as she rubbed her head with her fluffy and furry ‘hand’. ‘Furry?’ She looked at her ‘hands’ and her mouth opened wide. Her hands had become soft and fluffy paws of a white-furred beast with purple spots. ‘What the hell?’ She touched her face with her paws and confirmed that it too did not belong to a human. Below, she felt something was moving, she can tell as if it was another limb connected to her. ‘Don’t tell me!’ Turning her head around, she found a seven-inch tail sticking out behind. ‘Phew!’ She felt relieved that it wasn’t what she thought it was. “These soft and paws, this cuddly fluffy hair, this cute tail — ah shit, did I become a beast after my death or have I been dreaming of being human as a beast all this time? If it is the latter that is one long and realistic dream.” === [It’s the former, stupid *] === Said a woman’s voice from in her head. === As always thank you for reading, also the image in the cover is not mine, I found it on Pinterest and thought it was cool and suitable. All credits got to the illustrator. Also, this is a new type of story that I have not read about yet. Basically I am writing an evolution novel without prior knowledge so I don't really know what is considered cliche in this genre.
