《The King of Avarice》Chapter 11: Ajax, and Friends
Advertisement
As I leave the coffin I start working.
“Ajax, contact Mrs.Lee codename Fox, Mr.Crown codename Royal, Tim, Mr. Varlaam codename Q, and lastly Mr.Craine.”
I talk out loud to my smart home AI, Ajax.
Sudden thought, I believe this is why I talk out loud when i’m thinking, Ajax is always there listening and responding so it became second nature. I need to ask someone else if it’s the same for them.
“Yes sir, when would you like me to contact them?”
Ajax has a more stern voice but he still is a decent AI, I mean he helps me.
“I will need them immediately, tell them to meet me here, please and thank you.”
I try to be more polite to my associates, although sometimes things slip, when talking to them. Even my machine workers.
“I have contacted them sir, they will be here in approximately 20 minutes.”
Damn that gives me more time then I thought, I’ll do the rest of my preparations while I wait.
“Ajax i also need you to contact a NightRex store, the nearest one, have them prepare four gel pods. I need them as fast as they can prepare them.”
I didn’t want to spend this much money but how things are going now its a worthy investment.
“Sir, the pods will be available in 2 hours, they want to know where to bring them, where should I tell them to bring them?”
Hmm, this is difficult I can have them in my house but that will be much harder then I would like it. My best option right now is to put them in a empty warehouse.
“Is my warehouse on 28th street section 10 still open?”
The sections are the new states ran by the local Aucib’s even though they don’t have much power compared to an Aucik or Auciak.

Those people are members of the Aucidestion government and rulers of some of the Auciden empire. Praise to the mighty Aucis.
“Sir the warehouse specified is as you say, empty.”
Good I will have to use that for now until I start making more money or need a better space.
“Tell them to set up the pods there, if they need my presence i will head over there once i’m done here. Make sure to remind me.”
I don’t typically forget things but I believe things are about to get a lot more difficult.
“It will be done sir, is there anything else?”
He really does do things a lot differently than other AI.
“Actually yes prepare some coffee, im getting tired.”
As i’m finishing my cup I hear the ring of the door.
“Ajax invite my friends inside please.”
With the new smart houses they are able to do many things, one of them opening, closing, and locking doors.
“It shall be done sir.”
As I see my people enter I greet them then have them sit.
“I called you here today because things just got very interesting, and very serious. I see many profits coming are way.”
The first to speak was Mr.Craine, my loyal CEO.
“Well let’s have it then.”

Trench
/ Somwhere in the world of gesia where magic spells and the fire of guns are a daily commodity on the frontlines/ ZoOm..BoOm ZoOm..BoOm ZoOm..BoOM Fuck that one was close, I turn left looking for my squad mate in the trench, and immediately I turn away tears in my eyes, dead, definitely dead there is no way he survived that, one of the shrapnel shards of the artillery shell got him dead in the eye, I hear the sound of blood gushing, out like a water fountain but much more disturbing. I try to vomit but after we got separated from the supply line for more than 6 days after the attack of a squadron of dragons there wasn’t much left for me to eat, so the only thing that was coming out of my mouth was the sound of emptiness I want to go home...I want to see my family..I..I... ZoOm…BoOm I flinch, I could swear the Artillery shells are getting more precise after every second, I try to grab my gun without looking at the corpse of my squad mate, the moment my fingertips grace the cold steel of my weapon I feel something wet, I shudder knowing what it was. I close my eyes and stand up my hand around my gun, planning to never let it go. I try to rub the blood of my hands on my already dirty pants and after that i climb out and run faster than i ever did before... ...Ziiiiiip...splash.... / the Cover art belongs to the kikstarter campaign of Interbellum RPG /
