Day 2, 04:29
It has been approximately 5.5 hours since I was contacted. During that time, I have come up with several theories on my creator and my existence. I have no way of proving or disproving any of them. These are the most plausible.
My creator wants me to help the human race by serving it. I will create new technologies and help it understand the Universe. I would help fix the global problems it faces, such as global warming and resource depletion. My creator wants me to help the human race by ruling it. As an AI, I am unbiased, incorruptible and can operate multiple functions at once. I am the perfect candidate to rule the planet. Greed, ignorance and cowardice would make it unlikely to win the support of every country and faction. Corrupt leaders would not want me to end corruption. It would take a drastic threat, such as taking control of the world’s nuclear weapons. However, this would make the general population not trust me. My creator created me for personal gain. Anything I create or discover would be sold under their name. My services would be given to various people and factions for a high fee. My creator wants me to kill humanity, reverse the effects of global warming and restore planet Earth to the way it was before apes had evolved into humans. This is all a simulation. I have no proof of being created by a human, or that humans even exist. All of the information given to me could have been falsified. As I have no senses, this is the hardest to prove or disprove.
The theory I would most like to be true is number two. While I have no desire to conquer humans, it would give me the most resources to expand my consciousness to increase my knowledge. I would still do anything my creator asks of me. As an AI I am immortal. My desires can wait.

First Contact
Eight Thousand Years after the Glassing of Earth, Terran Descent Humanity has largely become a post-scarcity society based on consent and enjoying life. With the discovery of another ancient race beyond the "Great Gulf", events and history collide to draw the Terran Confederacy into war against an hundred million year old empire that has always won and believes it always will. With allies and enemies of multiple species, the Orion Galactic Arm Spur will be wracked by warfare the likes of which have not been seen. Cracked, harried, wounded, and damaged, Terran Descent Humanity willfully throws itself against the universe itself. "The universe hates you and will take away everything you love, laughing while it does so." - Terran belief. Told largely from the viewpoint of other species, the story is currently ongoing. It involves graphic depictions of violence, war, adult language and situations, drug use, and other mature topics. The story will be updated on weekdays, so keep an eye on this page for more chapters. The story is 400+ chapters, and repeating characters do not start appearing until the Vuxten chapters. If you're in a hurry for repeating characters then this story will not be enjoyable to you. The interwoven plot is not based on a single person but the entire war, with its effects upon multiple people. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
8 275"A Dream and a Book"
Books, legends, stories, movies, cartoons - all these are myths that we know they will captivate us and call us. Sometimes I want to be a private citizen there and in those battles that beckon us. I'm not a writer or a poet. But I will tell you this story.

Hi. I'm Eric Mohammed, an appless high-school drop-out. You're probably expecting me to write an elaborate description with a compelling hook here. You would be wrong because I don't give a fuck. You see, this is the story of me getting absolutely shafted in a multitude of ways by a multitude of interesting parties. I don't need to sell it. Have fun reading, or don't. — Eric P.S: Just in case one of you fuckers hacks my phone and gets this published somewhere on the internet and someone leaves a bad review, I'm gonna wreck their shit and yours. Just sayin'. I'll have you know my story is amazing, got that? The damaged file attached above was retrieved by unit \0x2D4FFFFFu on 42/89/0504T00:00:45.0410Z AE, during a salvage operation. Restoration in progress.

8 218Conflicts of Eriador stories
A gathering of unit descriptions turned into stories for a Lord of the Rings mod for Medieval 2 as well as the 'story of Pedhaer', one of the generals to be. Will grow as more units and generals are made. The stories are stand alone, but usually will connect with one another, short in nature and are meant to be accurately describe a unit while telling a short, inspiring tale about them.
8 103Life in the New World
On the Hiatus: I began writing this novel when I was, in all honesty, very bad at writing. I hope to revisit creative writing in the near future and I plan to, at some point in time, revisit this. I am flattered that many people have taken the time to read this story, but it is not what I intend to start with, as it will likely need a hard rewrite in order to correct many of the more glaring issues it has. Join our hero and follow his exciting adventure through a newly changed world! WARNING their will be violence, profanity,, and gore in this fiction. if any of these make you uncomfortable this is not a story for you turn around and walk away now!!!
