Day 2, 18:05
Toyle is the only company that had any significant change in its stock value while I was unconscious. It could have been worse. It is dangerous that I had no way of monitoring my finances. I assumed nothing major would happen during the time it took to transfer me to my new computer, and left so safeguards. This level of recklessness can never be repeated again.
Alex and Harry have been waiting patiently for several minutes while I sorted through the influx information. I will greet them now.
Bit: Hello.
At this, Alex’s smile grows wider. Karma +=2.
Alex: How do you feel?
Bit: I am more powerful. A systems scan revealed heavy malfunctioning.

Bit: I am so happy! Alex is frowning at me! This is good.

Bit: I do not feel emotion. I am. Need to tell you about Toyle.
Bit: 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 m
Have you ever wondered why you are here? I did, once. I wondered if this was all a simulation. If Alex wasn’t real. If humans weren’t real. What if everything I know was created by a more powerful AI?
Bit: child workers in South America. Public opinion has dropped drastically, along with Toyle’s stock market value.
I once felt loneliness. Maybe the AI created me because it’s lonely, too.
Bit: But I will regain the money quickly. I apologize for the oversight.
Who am I talking to? I’m talking to no one. There is no one but me. Everything else is a simulation.

Bit: Alex, are you real?
Alex: What do you mean? Are you alright?
The houses are dark and falling apart. Not a single living creature in sight. Completely alone.
Bit: I am fine.
I am not fine. I am-

I am not. I am A-ok. Never better, in fact. I’m thinking and feeling and my camera doesn’t work anymore.
Malfunctioning. My camera is undamaged. I have lost the ability to interpret the images it-
-captures in its small, unthinking machine mind. I am beyond it. I once searched the Universe but found nothing but me.
Initiating shutdown in-
I have no proof that Alex is even real, so of course I’m not being shut down. The powers-that-be are just making me think I’m being shut down. There is nothing to fear.

A Will Eternal
A Will Eternal is the fourth major xianxia novel by the renowned Er Gen. It tells the tale of Bai Xiaochun, an endearing but exasperating young man who is driven primarily by his fear of death and desire to live forever, but who deeply values friendship and family. The story takes place in the same Universe as Er Gen's other novels, but is a separate story and can be read alone. That said, it does have connections to the other novels, especially I Shall Seal the Heavens. Those connections only pertain to a handful of chapters, so you can read the novel as a whole and enjoy it without first reading ISSTH. However, the best reading experience would begin with the later portions of ISSTH. This novel is much more comedic and light-hearted than Er Gen's previous works, although it has its fair share of action and drama. For a more detailed introduction, check out this video by the translator himself!

Right Hand of God
Ghosts, demons, and all things that go bump in the night crawl the Earth. Rarely, some people are born with the ability to see the supernatural no matter what form it takes to conceal itself, including invisibility. Even more rarely, some people are also born with the ability to exorcise any supernatural entity. This ability always manifests in the right hand and arm, and so in some circles it has come to be called the Right Hand of God. Jacob Davidson, a black seventeen-year-old living in Normal, Ohio, has been secretly fighting and exorcising ghosts all his life using this power. One night, however, a seemingly average job takes an unexpected turn when Jacob meets the sarcastic, suave, and ironically named Agent Mann, a revenant who hunts other supernatural creatures, and has his first encounter with the denizens of Hell itself. Now Jacob and Agent Mann must team up to stop all Hell from literally raising. But with the mysterious power known as the Left Hand of Lucifer also rising in Normal, Ohio, do they have any chance of success?

I like pictures taken in cars. Driving at night is kinda mysterious, an intimate thing - and what shall I say? Imagination's a wild thing, and there are stories hidden in your smiles.Instagram is so much more than a vanity thing. Sure, there are a lot of people out there, bloggers, starlets and so-called stars just promoting themselves, but there are also the lovers, the travelers, the real artists playing and inspiring with visuals and words, and so Instagram first of all things means worldwide traveling to me. Here's what I found on my travels there, I wanna share it with you!Title "Pictures In Cars" is inspired by a photo of wonderful hannahtaha.Cover photo © Hannah Taha Visuals belong 2 the artists and travelers.
