《Try Me!》Chapter 2: Needs
Advertisement
GROWLLLLLLLLLLL!!!
I wake up to my own stomach growling and I'm hungry and thirsty as hell! It is nice to wake up to a bright sunshine albeit hungry as hell. Apparently, I didn't become a wolfs stool after all pretty lucky. Was worried considering I lost consciousness in absence of my willingness.
Well forget that I need to find something to eat and drink first. I look around my surroundings hoping to find something of nutrition. As empty as a college student’s wallet. All I see is gigantic roots swarming over each other. While following one of the roots I see a round red fruit. Looks juicy and plump full of juice and nutrition. Just looking at it makes me drool GROWLLLLLLLL!!!
Shit now it's starting to hurt. Now how to procure the that high hanging luscious fruit. On second thought it might poison or even kill me...
Aaa screw that got no other choice anyway.
Seeing it's almost 2 meter form the ground it's impossible to climb up there to get it with these stumpy legs and arms. Next option would be hit it with something anything rock for example. I pick up a rock from the ground and throw it with all the strength I can muster. First try right next to it, second try about 1.8 meters high, third try barely 1.4 high and I'm already exhausted falls to ground.
GROWLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!
Ohh, I can feel the strength leaving my body. Oh god this is it, I'm going to starve to death. Shit I had so much to do, so much to see, so much to live for. Oh shit.
Just as I was wailing pathetically while waiting starvation for some reason the fruit fell on its own and rolls next to me. After moment of surprise I gobble the fruit like the most delicious food in the world and it tasted divine. Full of juice and nutrition. SO. FUCKING. DELICIOUS!!!

HALLELUJAH!!!
So, this is "finger licking good" feels like.
After satiating my hunger, I feel strange yet comfortable warmth going through my stomach and from there branching out to my whole body making me very sleepy. And hello darkness my old friend...
Of course, I wake up in my mind palace once again. But this time it's different it's greener. Every single block is painted green. Feels like this palace is full of vitality like forest fresher and more alive. And first door from the left is made out of ivy with picture of a bushy green tree. I try to open it but it's still locked that sucks.
Welcome to Main Interface
Information scanning: 13:00:00
So, I've been sleep for almost 10 hours and struggled with the hunger for almost 1 hour, hmm efficient.
Well since I got nothing else to do let’s check out the room on second floor. I open the door and enter the room. Let’s take a good look last time I got distracted by the interface. Bright room, don't know where light is coming from. Square room can't see the ends of the room, simple wooden book shelves, now that I took a good look not all shelves have a book most are empty. Only ones in the front are full of books. I pick up the first book on first self from left and open it on it
Sleep and Sedative States Induced by Targeting the Histamine and Noradrenergic Systems:
"Sedatives target just a handful of receptors and ion channels. But we have no satisfying explanation for how activating these receptors produces sedation. In particular, do sedatives act at restricted brain locations and circuitries or more widely? Two prominent sedative drugs in clinical use are zolpidem, a GABAA receptor positive allosteric modulator, and dexmedetomidine (DEX), a selective α2 adrenergic receptor agonist. By targeting..."

After reading the first page I finally understand how I knew about sedative induced sleep.
After putting the first book I pick up the second book and take look.
Wolf:
"The wolf (Canis lupus),[a] also known as the gray wolf, timber wolf,[4][5] western wolf,[b] and its other subspecies is a canine native to the wilderness and remote areas of Eurasia and North America. It is the largest extant member of its family, with males averaging 43–45 kg (95–99 lb) and females 36–38.5 kg (79–85 lb).[7] Like the red wolf, it is distinguished from other Canis species by its larger size and less pointed features, particularly on the ears and muzzle.[8] Its winter fur is...."
And now I know how I knew. So apparently this room contains someone’s knowledge wait not exactly knowledge more like subconscious knowledge of experience. So peculiar that my mind palace contains someone else's knowledge.
But even more peculiar thing is I seem to be okay with it. Not because I'm numb but because all this seems so familiar as if it's supposed to be all mine.
Peculiar, truly peculiar.

The Stolen Shield
Raine just wanted some money. All he needed was enough to get his business rolling. But when he agreed to take a much-needed job from his college friend Levin, he hadn’t expected to get stabbed, shot, and chased at midnight in L.A. with a drunk girl in the back seat of his car. And he hadn’t planned on joining a strange organization based in another world, thanks to which he flies off to a private island to suffer weeks of grueling training and endure intensive foreign language study the likes of which he hasn’t experienced since high school. His friends sold the other world to him as a land of hope and second chances, a simple but beautiful place where he could put his many failings behind him and get a new start. Ignorant, trusting, and naive, he believed them. But they lied. Please note that the story has a slow start (practically all of my readers say this).

8 138How to raise a Hive Queen
This story is about a newborn Hive Queen, which gets raised in an unexpected environment. The first part of the story will focus on her development and the challenges that come with it. Eventually she will start to produce her own swarm of hive creatures. The species of the Hive Queen is called the Sylv and they are a insectoid species with an hive mind. The Sylv can evolve themselves through extracting traits from other non Sylv creatures. This is limited to modify the basic set of creatures the Sylv can produce, they are not able to create completely new creatures. In this regard they are more like ants, who have workers, soldiers and queen ants. The Sylv live underground in so called hive complexes and use living structures in them to produce more of their kind. The Hive Queen is the leader of a Sylv Hive and responsible for evolving the swarm. This novel takes place in a fantasy setting and was inspired by other hive species like the Zerg from "Starcraft" made by Blizzard Entertainment, the Arachnea from "Her majesty's swarm" published on j-novel club, and the Vex from "I don't want to be the Hive Queen" by ValetheHowl. I really enjoy stories with an organic hive mind species and want to contribute myself. The focus and theme of this story will change as the Hive Queen matures and defines the goals she wants to achieve. If you like this story also check out my other fiction "To former Glory" here on Royal Road :D

We are who we choose to be. Regardless of circumstances. Break Neck Ally is a story about friendship, love and kindness... except its not.

Note: This is a work of fiction and all of its characters, places, scenes and themes are completely imaginary.
8 186Dirge
All things are. We once dreamed of a sky filled with possibilities. Of neverending knowledge. But those were conceited times, filled with quibbling. Now we look up and fear the vastness. We fear that there’s no edge to infinity. Humanity pulled itself together. Not like you’d expect, not like you’d approve of, but the results are spectacular. We call ourselves Utopians now, to make it simple for our kin in the cosmos. We’ve moved out into the Omniverse, to unlimited resources, and to dominance over the weak. Not for gain, but to the ends of permanence and peace. The cessation of their suffering. At the apex, looking down on those confined, those unenlightened, we felt safe. So few stand shoulder to shoulder with us. Fewer yet of them are so united as we. Porter, a godkiller for the Eidolons, is out of the job. Christopher, a Magus in the Guild, has him a new one, but with motives questionable. Kendall, a failing student at the Monastery, has to deal with secrets he never wanted. Anna, her entire life just fell apart, leaving her bereft. And Doran, he awakens. Each of these people, connected as members of the Omniversal Utopian Commonwealth, are helpless to the dark truth closing in. Not even the artificial intelligence, Aku, keeper of all Utopian power, can stop the Ouroboros. It’s not a new dawn. The light is dying. Hold your breath and go gently.
