《Continue Online》Author Note: Continue Online's World Continues!
Advertisement
This chapter is being published for one reason only - to let those who want more Continue Online know that the world continues! (Hah, I tried...) Want to know what happens to the world now? Want to see if life ever works out for the Legates? How AIs impact normal humans? How does Altered Reality fit into a world with digital constructs? What about more humanoid Hal Pal units? Do real people make it to Mars?
Well, some of these questions will be answered. Four stories are being drafted (Too slowly for my taste, but life is...life) that will expand the Online world, with new characters and new adventures.
Learn more about Elizabeth's absentee father, Kenneth in the next story, Fridays (Continue) Online!
After Fridays will be - in no specific order - Clockwork (A gravekeeper for the dead), Dynasty (A trustfund young man with more money than sense), Afterglow (Xin's dad, a retired cop in space, featuring the one and only Jeeves) and Raven (A summonable NPC)! All four of these will be a series of standalones tentatively titled Bastion Online. Titles subject to change to make them more cohesive.
After these I can move into the next major 5 book arc, Wayward Online.
Jesus. I just read all those planned books. I may loose my mind.
Either way, check out the next arc!
Totally a Spoiler
Wayward Online will feature Grant and Xin's child, the future replacement for Mother, and everyones favorite villian, the Jester. I wrote the opening for this and am super excited to start (It's like 40k words done out of 650k...) but I have to do these other bridging projects first!
Clockwork Dynasty Afterglow will be the same story from three stand alone points of view - should be exciting and maybe a bit beyond my skillset. Fridays preludes those tree. Raven will be a stand alone that exists seperate from the others. All will occure, timeline wise, before Wayward Online.

Beta Test
I'm sure I'm in for some colorful criticism, But if even a few people enjoy this, I'd be happy. As of right now the story is set in Delaware around 2005'ish'. A young man from the streets, aquires a beta test invitation in an unorthodox way. The plan is to have a comical adventure in an experimental virtual reality game. I can easily transition it to a full story if its well received. If not I hope atleast one person kinda likes it. P.s. This is a work of fiction, with made up characters. Any likeness is coincidence.

The Eternal Vigil
The year is 2220, a time when governments and nation-states are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Instead, all prominent parts of human society are now organizing around the commands of three great Artificial Intelligences, owned and operated by the world's largest corporation. World peace has been achieved, and the very word 'politics' has disappeared from people's lips. Religion has largely disappeared, replaced in some parts by worshipping of the great AIs, but mostly substituted by a devotion to material goods and faith in the market. There is now a general consensus that the best form of government has been found. No, it is not democracy, nor is it autocracy or oligarchy. Instead, it is technocracy - rule by the learned, the intelligent, and the skilled. And who are more learned, intelligent, and skilled than the great AIs? Exactly, no one. The AIs will correct some market failures once in a while, but shall otherwise let the market be free. After all, the freer the market, the freer the people. Some may question how society advanced to this stage, but that is all they will do - question. Because they will not find answers, for history is no longer taught anywhere. After all, it is not a practical subject. One cannot get a decently paying job with a history degree. Society doesn't have any time for people to idly ponder about the past. No, this is a practical society of practical people: engineers, doctors, lawyers, developers, managers, bankers, soldiers, and the such. My name is Aiden Scivit and I used to be one such practical man: minding my own business, doing my job, with the faith that hard work will always be rewarded by the market...and that politics and philosophy were things thought of by idly people who leech off society. But this all changed, and here is my story, my history. Just because the stories of ages long past have been erased, does not mean that a brand new beginning cannot be created. The story is already finished but I still need to do some editing so a chapter should be released each day for a month. It is a bit political, as you can probably tell by the introduction, so there is that (it will low-key read like a philosophy dump 10% of the time, so really it's like Atlas Shrugged but liberal and worse lol). Also, I actually wrote this in grade 10 as part of my MYP Personal Project, and recently touched up on it for online publication. Finally, if you find the writing style passable and are interested in my other works, check out the one in the link below. It is a fantasy set in the Ancient Greek world, and is completed and uploaded in full: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/35099/the-oresteia-modernized
