《Humanity? HELL YEAH!!》Appeal to intelligence
Advertisement
"So yeah it is incredibly dangerous for you to keep doing this. You could take my word for it, or you could just question it. But I got to warn you, some thoughts, some words are dangerous in a world in which magic exists. Knowledge is powerful here and thus you, an obviously new dude, is completely powerless. That doesn't mean you are worthless tho, there exist schemes to harvest peoples organs or -" Blue points to Red "- turn them into semiautomated scambots only to turn more people into scambots, all in order to harvest the scambot organs later on. I know you could be one of these people if you get access to education. That is actually very shitty of me right? I think everyone deserves the freedom to learn what the world is, even if it allows them to make the world into a worse place.
You want education right? Don't answer, I don't want you to think I want you to say some keywords with which I can turn you into a simple machine that scams people. You might even think that I am doing a good cop bad cop play here, just to mess with you, a double scambot on noob thing. Nothing would be too contrived to add a new bot to someone like that, I know they would do stuff like that if they were creative enough.
Yeah you could just run now and test whether I would stop you. If you are at least a bit intelligent you have thought about it. Why are you still here? Why are you waiting?
Do you really think we'd just wait and explain to you something if our intent were malicious? Aren't we just waiting for reinforcement so that we can just pin you down and cut you up? Why are you still not running?", Blues tone had grown harsher, "Don't answer that either. If you do answer, do it with actions, not with words. Talk to no one. Mistrust everyone and everything. Don't trust everything that is in a book, most of those books are written by people that give you instructions on how to turn yourself into their bot. You are alone and valuable and can't do anything. You'll not last a cycle if you don't mistrust everything, including the stuff I tell you. Act like it damnit! That's all I have to say.", Blue left through the door behind it. Sigmund wanted to call out, "'Wait", he wanted to shout, but he didn't. How could this warning not have made him suspicious of everything, how could it not make him paranoid? There was a carrot, and a stick, but he couldn't quite tell what was the carrot and the stick. If he trusted Red, then he might survive in what was apparently a hellish world full of hunters and victims, but if Red was a hunter, then running would be the only thing, unless he was running away from the shepherd that was collecting the sheep... no that was not a good metaphor, shepherds eat sheep. Running was not an option yet, he had to think, think hard, because running was not his strength, thinking was - and Sigmund sort of regretted that.

Singularity [Fantasy-LitRPG | Hard SF]
After an accident that nearly claimed his life, Arnel has become Humanity's first Mind-Machine Interface, the fusion of Artificial Intelligence and human consciousness. In the competitive, virtual fantasy world of Singularity, this gives him tremendous and unfair advantages. However, there is a small problem; The AI he shares his mind with is not a harmless helper program, but a vast, sentient intelligence created for war, and capable of not only predicting the future, but influencing it to a degree of certainty. Coincidentally, possession of such an intelligence is equivalent to possessing nuclear armaments for which the punishment is death.

The Trespasser
Synopsis Following his di—instincts, David finds himself in a weird situation; the next thing he knows, he's in a different world, dying, and manhandled by a big-ass alien. When the Source comes to his aid, granting him the access that—like every other sapient—he's due, David barely manages to get out of the fight with his life intact, but is that enough? Of course it isn't. The very Source giving him powers is also poisoning him to death. Oh, there she is, the petite female alien. Will that be enough to save him? Of course it won't. If he wants to be saved, he has first to save himself. The only way to do so is by getting to know the world around him, but even before that... Why the bloody hell did I have to be called Deviant!? *** Blurb? Blurb. The Trespasser starts slowly, I believe I've written a decent world, and I want you to find out what it's all about, won't just throw it in your face because of *levels*. I do not like stories that don't make sense. David is not a murderhobo, he respects life and answers to the world and the weird situations thrown at him with irony and sarcasm; so you are looking for easy killing streaks, you will not find them here. So, a man finds himself into the wild? It's a different world, and yet he can breathe its air? Finds himself in a lucky-low-level zone? Oh, look at that, people speak English—how likely is that? So, nope, not for me, gentleman. You won't find anything of the likes here. Again, a man finds himself in a new world but only thinks about the system? Yeah, that's not exactly how it works. David will try to find out what it's really all about, what the aliens want, how they work, why is that Fay really helping him? You can kill somebody to get levels, and yet there is not even a form of police? Not gonna happen here. Man becomes suddenly overpowered in a world where people can live for thousands of years by having enough luck to face only lower-level people? Hahaha—nope. Lastly...Spaceships and fantasy with LitRPG... say what!? Well, what's wrong with that? Let's make it happen, shall we? *** You want even more info? Really? Alright... David will start from the very bottom of the food chain, so there will be a settling arc—it's inevitable. David will find true companions, with personalities and backstories, and they will have a life of their own. There will be enemies, and those enemies will have a life of their own, too; there will be no evil just because. The world-building will have true depth; it will not exist just because the protagonist visits it. There will be both Fantasy and (Soft) Sci-fi—yeah, you heard that right. There will be rationality to every action taken, as long as the characters are aware of what is going on. There will be a godly system. You will come to read because of the world-building, but you will stay for the characters. The dead stay dead, and you will weep for them. There will be no action without a reaction. Lastly, there will be laughs. Are you still up for it? Then get in but fasten your seatbelts because it's going to be a wild ride. *** Release Days: Twice a week Release Time: ~09:00 PM UTC Words per chapter: ~3000 This web novel is also available on other platforms.
