《Aegis》Chapter 59: One Morning (Dream)
Advertisement
You Dream.
"Merciful God-Emperor of Mankind, what happened to..."
Slide-slip-skid-pain. You are sharing a leisurely breakfast of pancakes with Yasha. Her quarters this time. They are hot and fluffy, and you are glad that they are not the out-of-a-box premade shit. The ploin juice is fresh, the bacon crispy.
She has an old leather-bound book open on the corner of the table, detailing what looks like a dynastic tree or a dog-breeder's bloodlines. She dances around your questions about her projects. You decide to try again with Vir.
"... stuck here until she gets..."
Jump-drift-agony-peace. Your quarters. Same Yasha, different morning. Pancakes, Grox sausage, ploin juice spiked with a touch of Whitesnake. Family trees again. Confusion abounds. Titles? Stable genetics? Explanations, simple language required.
"... 01101101 01100001 01101011 01100101 00100000 01110111 01101000 01101111 01101100 01100101 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100001 01110100 ..."
Flex-shock-pax-sleep. Yasha's quarters, lunch, and serious discussion. Salt grox buns, tea, and amasec for social lubrication. The topic of Yasha's research, her titles, bloodlines, and who she may be required to breed with to create the next generation of Navigators. That she favors you over other suitors is flattering, if disconcerting.
"...going septic again! Get me another sixteen pints of..."
You awaken.
You go through the process of taking stock of your situation as your breath rasps in your dry throat. Where: Aegis' medbay, same bed as last time. When: Dead of shipboard night, all the lights are low or off. What: shirt, underpants, pants, metal scarab necklace, and a dull ache in your right leg. Who: Yasha, on the bed next to you, rigged with medical equipment, tubes everywhere. A black-robed figure in a chair between you and her.

Living in Paradise
The first thing I saw when I woke up was a group of people standing over me shouting "Happy Birthday!!!". Immediately after they start debating what type of world I came from and calling me 'William'. Later on I would learn that everyone here is reborn from another world and many children come with magic or superpowers or other gifts leftover from their old lives. I came from a world that was, to me, typical modernity. To them it was pretty boaring with the only thing interesting about my world being was a higher than average tech level for a non-spacefaring civilization; technology that wouldn't even work in this new world. All I brought with me was a peculiar mindset and the strong suspicion that there must be something more to life. Once everyone started to clear out my mother took me up in her arms, explained how the world works, and then stabbed me in the neck with a knife. I got better. -------------------- This story was written from the central idea of a simple question: What if a videogame like world, with all the normal video-game staples and tropes, was actually a real world? How would that work? How would people understand the universe around them? What sort of weirdness would the world appear to have from the point of view of someone who recognizes the odd nature of the place? And finally, if left to its own devices, how would this type of world ultimately develop?

Forgive me, I didn't mean to take that!
Murong Yingyue is the heiress to a famous cultivator clan. Except that’s she’s really not, and just a stand-in for the real heiress, who had been sickly since she was born. And she’s not really even herself. A transmigrator from Earth had transmigrated into the body of a female demoness, inheriting her memories. The transmigrator had then later died, transmigrating into her infant body! Ah, Why is it so convoluted? She grew up with those memories, and when she was finally sufficiently strong enough to travel the world safely, she eagerly embraced a leisurely life. When I was a demoness, I didn't know how to live without constantly being on guard and having to calculate every move I make. When I was on Earth, I didn't know a life without romantic drama and jealous women! I'll enjoy these two things you have missed, then! I'll do whatever I want and avoid troublesome people. So... How the f*ck did I get into this stupid cliche storyline? And as the main character, too? I don't want to be the main character! They attract so many senseless cannon fodders and powerful enemies, and furthermore, don't they attract romantic interests like it's no one's business? Someone help me! This will read better if you are familiar with wuxia novels. Discontinued. Apologies to all who liked the story. I feel that my writing style has changed since I last wrote for this story, so I tried to get myself to rewrite the story but I couldn't find any motivation to do so. I also lost the outline I had for this story and don't really remember what direction it was going in, so I want to leave the story as is. Thank you to the people who read and favorited this.
