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.

Unbroken
Stuck in the Void Wastelands, a group of courageous paladins fights to defend the portal that bridges their world to other Planes. Cut from civilization, and after decades of fighting, from the providence of their Goddess, they continued their eternal vigil even if they continued to fall one after another. Until, at last, only one Paladin is left standing. Artreus, the lone Paladin, after years of isolation, continued to fight, not for their world, or their Goddess, but the memory of his comrades. He continued to surpass insurmountable odds using the experience and knowledge imparted by his dear friends. His body battered, but his will unbroken. Until one day, he comes face to face with a Demon Lord and perished. Floating in the vast darkness, the Goddess once more called for his service. He accepted without hesitation. Not to serve the gods who abandoned them to their fate, but to save the world he and his companions swore to protect. For even if he gets beaten and defeated, even if he have to stand alone against the world, he will stand vigilant as it's protector, to uphold the oath they all swore. For he is the Unbroken.

Of Righteous Evil
To wield the magical Arts. The power to manipulate nature itself. Follow Silas on his journey as he learns what it means to be a Mage. With war brewing on the horizon, Silas' plan to become a hero clashes with the harsh reality of conflict. Torn between contradicting emotions, he will have to reconsider his perceptions of both good and evil. Does the end truly never justify the means? Note from author (13.09.20): Sentences have been shortened, less commata used. Paragraphs have been split up. Meant to be "realistic" fantasy, with no overpowered protagonist or evil sorcerer trying to destroy the world. The focus lies on the characters, their progressions and their inner conflicts, coupled with an intricate magic system. Constructive criticism is highly appreciated! HIATUS Updates: 12.12.20 Chapter 1 & 2 are written together. The backstory of the parents will be integrated into one of the later chapters. 20.12.20 Prologue has been rewritten, fight added. Will now continue writing the chapters until the first arch is finished. 19.01.21 Chapter 15 is written. Will hopefully be able to write more from now on, university has been kinda rough these days. 08.04.21 Chapter 16 & 17 has been written. Beginning will be rewritten (again) to start with chapter 3. Chapter 1 & 2 will be shown through reocurring dreams / nightmares. 10.08.21 Rewriting of the first arc is complete and has been proofread twice. Plot of rest of book one is 80% complete. Will publish chapters once first book is finished and proofread. 06.12.21 Second arc is finished (chapter 24/31-33). First draft will likely be finished around February, after which I will edit a few suggestions of my beta readers and publish it on RR. Release schedule: Once a week on Sunday, chapters are around 3000 words long. (HIATUS, see last chapter for more info) Cover art by Riverman09

Summoning went Wrong
Who doesn't like fantasy? Worlds full of interesting and new things that baffle the mind of anyone. Races like elves, dwarfs, and beast peoples, roaming the land, in search of different things that might be banal from them but incredible for others. And if you are someone who comes from an otherworld you will certainly receive a great power, rare equipment, trustworthy companions, or even a harem, while you are tasked to fight the Demon Lord and his army made of monsters, for peace and glory. But have you ever asked this question: What is it like to be on the other side? Follow the story of Steven Torres, who was abducted from his world with his classmates only to be thrown away into a chaotic world as the most hated race. While the hero's job is to fight for justice, he's at least a lot simpler. To survive another day.
