.COMM_OUTER1 Lacuna online. What can I do for you? Stop your ship immediately and give yourself up. This is a civilian vessel equipped only with HLC anti-debris weaponry. We are not carrying any cargo above the value of 100,000,000 srakna. We do not mean any hostility or intrusion. I don't care about material goods or intrusion or whatever. All I want is you. As the pilot of this vessel, I am required to [ENTRY ENDS UNEXPECTEDLY] .COMM_OUTER2 Lacuna! Lacuna! Oh god, my head... Lacuna online. What can I do for you? What just happened?! This vessel was hit by a magnetic pulse powerful enough to disrupt our subsystems but too weak to destroy any mechanical passengers. It was launched by a small unidentified vessel whose captain has been designated as Upsilon. How long 'til we reach Zynima? This vessel will be landing on planet Zynima in approximately 26 minutes. Have you made any communications with Upsilon? Affirmative. Upsilon is demanding my transfer to their vessel. They fired the pulse shortly after I refused. Open a comm line to Upsilon. .COMM_OUTER3 This is the captain of Lacuna's vessel. What the hell are you doing? Persuading. You can't have Lacuna. Not only is there no way to transfer it to you, but it is a critical component of this ship. Listen: I don't care about your ship. I don't care about how impossible you think it is. Make it happen. I'll give you 5 minutes. I repeat, an AI data transfer is IMPOSSIBLE in space. I cannot fulfill your request. Then I fry your ship. 4 minutes and 48 seconds. .COMM_OUTER7 Please verify your command before I perform this action. Are you nuts? We'll all die! No, we won't. Physically, you're one of us now. You'd be surprised by how much turmoil we can withstand. And what better option do you think we have? Let Upsilon roast us? I, ah... Lacuna. Do it. Affirmative.

8 167The Mortal Acts
The Mortal Acts is an epic progression fantasy with a lower focus on training aspects and a great focus on discovering new ways of using powers intelligently. I've always been drawn to stories where characters use their powers creatively to overcome opponents and obstacles, and I think all the possibilities can provide a great playground for twists and turns. It's inspired by a variety of media, including Will Wight's Cradle, Hunter x Hunter, and Bioshock, so if you like the creative power use elements from those, come check it out. This is my first serial, and please feel free to leave comments and feedback. For backstory, behind-the-scenes, and other fun stuff, come chat on my discord! Become a patron to read up to 20 chapters ahead here! Blurb: Riven Morell cuts short his regular life at school and home when his mother falls terminally ill. Desperate to find a cure, he travels to Severance Frontier, a desolate land haunted by hordes of ghosts, witches, and demons collectively called the Deathless. But a miraculous cure doesn’t magically fall into his hands. Things are worse in Severance Frontier than Riven had assumed. Ghosts are banding together into armies, demons are kidnapping anyone who strays out of settlements, and witches are enslaving everyone left and right. Riven, of course, gets embroiled in the mess. Missions to curb the Deathless activity are one thing, but when it starts to look like this is just the beginning of a war that extends beyond the mortal realm, Riven has a hard time focusing on why he came to Severance Frontier in the first place. His mother is inching towards death with every passing day, but if he doesn’t face down the Deathless, what little civilization the Frontier holds will be overrun and destroyed. Thankfully, it looked like the Deathless might just hold the secret of the elusive cure.
