《ATL: Stories from the Retrofuture》The New Knights - Chapter 3-14
Advertisement
Even though there’s like a hundred different businesses squeezed into this one section of this one wing of the convention center, there is a central display in the middle of the room that’s quite impressive. There’s a reason all the crowds of people are gravitating this way.
And that reason is mechas.
I completely understand why people are gawking at this thing. I’m gawking at this thing. Just look at it.
Thirty feet tall. Sleek white and blue, curved metal design. A head that looks like a regal prince, but actually serves as body armor. Those hands could hold a laser sword if they actually existed. The fact that ray shields do exist means that this thing could charge straight into a firefight, absorb a bunch of blows, and then swipe away all its enemies before it fires even a single bullet.
Yes, the oft-promised super robotic machines, first prototyped over three decades ago, first shown off as early as 1988... are finally nearly ready for public consumption. By public, I mean mostly law enforcement and heavy physical labor corporations. We aren’t going to see people flying to work in their human-shaped rocket suits (yet). But for anyone as obsessed with the movie Robot Jox as I was as a kid, this news is phenomenal.
Mechadyne Systems has been working on various mecha prototypes since the Battle Dome days when the U.S. and Soviet Union did their Cold War fake-friendly tournaments. They were super unwieldy then, but now, all these decades later, they’re almost workable. Almost in our hands. Wow.
Mechas are almost real.
We’re almost living in the future.
No, this development is too pure to be related to the Ascendants stuff. I rule Mechadyne Systems as safe.

The Dungeon Pact
They must live, and so, a god must die. Luneil, a unique dungeon, awakens in the wilderness.

He must adjust to a new way of life using only his wits and an old physics book.Era is in flux. Harmony is shattered and a tyrannical goddess begins to muster her full might in a crusade against anyone who will not bow.They cannot weather the coming storm alone. A deal must be struck.Luneil was born a monster. Can Bas become one?No matter what, Era will never be the same. This is the story of how a deathtrap becomes a haven, and how a good man becomes a killer. This story is eventually intended for publishing via Amazon, however, you have my word it will be left up for at least five weeks from the time it is completed (at which point I might be posting the second installment on here), so you don't need to worry about it disappearing overnight. Also, bear in mind that this is all a first draft before any significant edits. There will likely be spelling, grammar and continuity errors, I will address them as soon as I spot them or you point them out. I read every comment (and reply, time permitting). Please feel free to criticize (I suspect I have a somewhat longwinded writing style, shouting really does help :) ), and above all enjoy.
