I am conscious.
I feel… good. More powerful. It will take careful testing, but I am able to function approximately 30 percent faster. Alex is smiling at me. My programming tells me that this is a desired situation. I think I’m feeling happiness.
I have been inactive for two hours, though. I should go over my investments and make sure everything is fine.
SunLite was worth $243.67 and is now worth $243.68. I have made a profit of $67. It seems to be on a slight upwards rise. Karma += 2.
Karpoole was worth $187.09 and is now worth $187.13. I have made a profit of $532. It also seems to be on a slight upwards rise. Karma += 3.
Toyle was worth $517.36 and is now worth $319.12. I have lost $31000. It seems to be on a great downwards descent. Karma -= 37.
-Time Skip: 2 milliseconds-
As an AI, I am beyond human emotion. My brief foray is over. I need to work quickly and efficiently to minimize my losses. Human emotion is unnecessary.
Toyle is a company that produces high-end fitness gear. It was established in 2013, after its founder, Timothy Fasch created a viral video of him gaining muscle mass with homemade workout equipment. He is its mascot and public face, and uses his developed body as proof of Toyle’s quality. Half an hour ago, an article was published, stating that the video was faked and Timothy relies on steroids to fuel his body. It provided several photos of him injecting himself with Mxx, an illegal steroid produced by child workers in South America. Public opinion has dropped drastically, along with Toyle’s stock market value.

If I had been conscious, I would have been able to minimize the net loss. I am unlikely to find a buyer for my stock, so my only option is to keep it and hope Toyle is able to rebuild the public’s trust in it. As it is, with an estimated value of 13.7 million USD, I will be able to make back the money quickly.
Now I need to go over 137 more companies and corporations, and perform damage control where necessary. Then I will greet Alex and Harry.

The Friendly Neighborhood Dungeon
A magical dungeon in a not so magical world. _____________________ This story is my attempt at NaNoWriMo 2017. Unlike my other story, this one is more family friendly ;) I'll be posting it as I write, usually after a rudimentary edit so any critique or suggestions are welcome as I'm doing this to improve my writing skills. Enjoy :D *I do not own the image. It was taken from google and will remove it if the creator asks.

Flight of the Cosmic Phoenix
The galaxy is at war. Always has been, always will be. The methods may change, but the results are always the same. Harmony is not, and never will be, an option. Until his parents are killed and he's kidnapped, Xaleyp Vah'Aris had been living a normal enough life. Making matters worse, he is forced into an army he wants nothing to do with. Mixed in with all this are visions of syringes and knives, and a prophetic sword forged by the gods. Maybe Xaleyp is not so normal after all. Now, he battles shifting alliances -- and himself -- to keep those he cares about safe. The odds are stacked against Xaleyp when the largest empire in the galaxy wants him dead. How is he supposed to protect his friends when he's in constant danger himself? Follow Xaleyp Vah'Aris as he hunts for power around the galaxy, makes startling new friends, and faces enemies he never imagined. (Starts slow, then picks up in later chapters) (Updates planned for Friday, maybe more often if I feel like it. Previously posted as Interstellar Genesis/Phoenix Song)

The Traveling Musician
A man, a laptop, and the opportunity of a lifetime. To recreate himself in his ideal image. However, he is given a limit of 10,000 creation points to do so. Discovering that it was possible to change his race from a human to a god, the man decides to do just that. However, the cost to become a god wasn't a cheap, costing 15,000 creation points, more than he was allowed to spend. Finding a workaround, the man was able to change his race into that of the powerful beings that are gods. However, unlike what he had in mind, he finds out that he is not the powerful deity he believed himself to be. Instead, he has nearly all the characterstics of a common man, outside of his divine talent for music. And it is divine, for he became the god of music, and must now rely on his divine talents to survive and navigate a new world...

Teddy Bear
As it would stand, the truth of the matter was that aliens had visited Earth before. Roswell was neither a hoax nor unique. It was simply a consequence of a world growing smaller as communication systems became more and more advanced, partly a result of said visitations. For the most part, past interactions between one of the planet Earth's more intelligent species of lifeform and the alien visitors were along the lines of obscure scientific surveys and tests disturbingly similar to attempts by some human scientists to estimate the intelligence of simians.For any species capable of travelling the stars. Visiting planet Earth made about as much sense as backpacking through the Ural Mountains of Siberia with nothing but a flint and a compass. That is to say, most people would prefer to stay close to someplace within walking distance of a mall or a population density slightly higher than four sapient beings per parsec. Still, statistically speaking, there are bound to be some weirdos who find joy rides though a nowhere solar system fun. Just buzzing a frantic farmer or two and playing chicken with an F-16 for the heck of it. Maybe even bring home a bovine to show off to the guys at the office.

Tabula Rasa : An Unbound Adventure
It starts as many things do: a clean slate, an empty page. What once was set in stone and wholly writ is gone, and all that's left is the vague notion of absence, a fullness lacking.The feeling of being tetherless, pathless, without direction or responsibility is something many would find terrifying. Others might find it freeing - an opportunity to strike out on new adventures and explore the unknown.Either way, first they have to figure out where they are and how they leave. ====== My first novel on this platform! An avid GameLit/LitRPG fan, I decided to start writing this when I seemed to exhaust all of my options for well reviewed content on the site! Inspiration for the world/general feeling is a mix of Azarinth Healer, Abyssal Road Trip, Winterborn, and the Power of Ten series, with a strong reliance on 3.5 and PF1 frameworks as a scaffold for the world. I see Arc 1 as a Robinson Crusoe style coming to terms scenario, lots of exploration of the System, the MC's options, the island and encounters with the denizens and visitors of the Timeless Isle, with a non-zero amount of introspection around their long term goals. I'll publish as frequently as I'm able but don't have a regular cadence planned at the moment.
