《Chosen by the Laws》In The Beginning
Advertisement
Created by The Ruling System, born into endlessness and given the tools to create, The Council of Laws created all. At first, there were three laws: Life, Death, and Creation. First, they formed the universe. However, it remained empty, thus other laws were born into existence. The universe soon became populated. As time passed, it became structured, equilibrium was achieved, and the system energy in the universe was brimming.
It all began 14 billion years later. By now there were many Laws brought into existence by the power known as 'The Ruling System'. Their embodiment was that of an orb, which radiated the power they possessed. They were currently all present and floating around the origin of the systems powers, the source.
This gathering was special, as enough power had been amassed for another to be born, Life, Death, and Creation were the closest waiting patiently. Suddenly Creation spoke, "it is coming". Life and Death became excited while the other Laws looked on in anticipation. It was always a glorious moment when a New Law was created as it meant the universe would be upgraded.
The power trickling out of the source suddenly spiked. A beam of light rose and fell, and in its place remained a sphere so dark it did not belong. Something did not feel right, overwhelmed by a sense of unease, Creation, Life, and Death bounced back; however, they could not escape the dark tendrils which rushed towards them and all present. Suddenly the origin lit up again and out popped another Law.
It was known as 'Balance'. Balance Immediately began spreading out its power, the other Laws were protected from the dark tendrils that had reached them.
Everything turned eerily silent.
A bitter battle was fought with neither side gained an advantage until suddenly, Chaos showed excitement. Now closest to the source, Chaos spread its tendrils of power towards the source which created them all. Life, Death, Creation, and the other Laws spread out their tendrils of power and grappled with Chaos. The source broke in two, thankfully Chaos got the smaller piece. Gloating happily Chaos escaped with its spoils.

Time passed, dealing with the small loss of power and while wondering what the future held, they began searching for traces of Chaos in the universe.
The elemental law of Fire was the first to find a trace; it was a war. Chaotic energy was permeating the area and the planet was falling apart. The bitter war waged on until finally the planet was destroyed and blown into countless chunks. Chaos had risen.
Calling a meeting Balance shaking furiously spoke out, "it has assimilated with the piece of Source stolen. "Chaos is now everywhere, and unless we find the source, we can't stop it. It will destroy all, over time."
Meanwhile, a chunk of the destroyed planet crashed into a light blue planet killing all life on it. Unsure of what to do due to the current predicament they found themself in, the Council of Laws called a meeting. Due to the damage caused to the source, the Laws became unstable leading to a debate that lasted for sixty-five million years as they tried to decide on countermeasures to stop Chaos.
Every day, as it grew more powerful, Chaos spread throughout the universe. Small wars were fought between planets, natural disasters occurred, and changes took place. Until finally, a plan was decided upon. The Laws would assimilate their powers with the Ruling System and let their energy be available to everything which had been created. They hoped this would allow others to gain power from the system at a faster rate than they could, and help create someone or something strong enough to stop Chaos, once and for all.
One by one they gave their powers back to the system, and the power was spread throughout the universe. Worlds were morphed, the opportunity to study the laws and gain unimaginable power was granted, and most importantly chaos was pushed back. Not gone for good, but long enough to buy the universe time. The Laws, nearly powerless, could do nothing but watch from this point on and hope their plan would succeed.

Unbeknownst to the Laws, they poured too much power into the system, something stirred within it. The overload of power caused something to grow inside - a consciousness. The Ruling System had gained sentience.

The Core: The First Guest (Book 1 of 3)
Book two starts here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/46417/the-core-the-hive-daughter-book-2-of-3 --- Kevin was just a normal 10 year old kid until he saw a woman vanish right before his eyes. This made Kevin just a little bit different. He paid more attention to people now. Little did he know that this little difference would kill him the next time he encountered another alien about to return home. It would tear him apart, cell by cell, until he was unmade. His mind being transported away. So distantly far away there is a race that advanced to the point where they built dyson spheres to house their civilizations. In their continual expansion, they seeded galaxies with pods and connection satellites. Over time they upgraded their dyson spheres into matryoshka brain Cores. Imagine a computer powered by a star. Citizens of Cores no longer age once they upload their minds into the virtual living system of the Core. While they didn’t age, most still choose to cycle through life and death though at a different scale of time compared to our lives. Citizens can visit other planets and live there as if they were on a "vacation". Mercury is Earth’s hub connected to the closest Core and Earth is a remote vacation spot for wealthy citizens. When the main character was 10 he witnessed a citizen returning to the Core. The story continues 10 odd years later when he again witnesses a similar situation unfolding and manages to touch the person returning to the Core. This causes him to be swept up in the transfer as well and for his mind to join as a "Guest" user of the Core. As a Guest he has limited powers, a starting balance of zero cr or Citizen credits, and no idea how he can get home. He is the first human to ever become a Guest of a Core. Where money itself is the highest form of their science. --- Progress update: Progress update: COMPLETE Stories:✦The Core: The First Guest (The Core: Book 1 of 3) ✦The Core: The Hive Daughter (The Core: Book 2 of 3) The Core: The Hive Daughter (Book 2 of 3) | Royal Road Stories in PROGRESS:✦The Core: The Dark Enemy (The Core: Book 3 of 3)PROJECTED Stories and Series: ★The Radiative Zone Series: The Girl with Powers (3 book series) ✶The Convective Zone Series: Into the Game (3 book series) This series is a work in progress.
