《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.”

AK - The Alchemy Kingdom
Karl always wanted to be a Mage. He was born in the Serion Kingdom, a fully pledged magic Kingdom. Seems like a perfect match, right? Unfortunately, no. He's just a commoner, working endlessly to maintaining the lifestyle of Mages. On his 15th birthday, his last chance to escape from a miserable life was destroyed when he was deemed to have no magic potential. For thousands of Serion's citizens that would be the end of their dreams. But how could this story be any fun, ending like that? Follow Karl and his friends while they tried to fight against the Kingdom's oppression. Will the system bend them to submission or will they break the chains of destiny? Spoiler alert: After thousands of years, an ancient Magic system will be reborn in the small Caiset village. What should you expect? - Kingdom Building: For sure! The heavy lifting will come later, I promise! Foundation is important, please be patient; - Epic battles: A Kingdom is not built without war and conflict. Who doesn't like good fights? Let's bring some excitement to this novel!; - Multiple leading characters: Karl convinced them to get on the bus, but this is a very long trip and everyone will need to drive a little; - Scientific Magic System: Especially Alchemy! I'm in no way trying to take the fantasy out of Magic. I just feel like trying to do something more logical. I'll probably stumble on a fine line, but I’m counting on you to keep me on track!; - World Building: I’m using some basic concepts from traditional Fantasy Worlds and trying to add some nice touches to make it unique; - Fun?: I'll try to insert some humor into the story, but that’s an experience we will go through together. Other points I find important: Alchemy is mostly crafting magic tools, but it will go a little further down the road. Even if you don't like crafting, weapon enhancing and whatnot, don’t give up on the novel. You might be surprised about Alchemy's reach later. Also, other types of Magic will play an important role here, just not the leading role. ......... Check out my two spin-off novels, Merchant Queen and Harbinger of Death! Both are independent novels, but with the same world setting... Maybe some crossover later... Either way, you can check them to get additional information on worldbuilding and hidden plots...

New Chapters on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday!

[Comics*] Season Of Destruction
Born as mortal sons to Napoleon Bonaparte's personal surgeon and forever altered by the sinister mentor who made them orphans, bloodsucking vampire brothers Lucien, Thibault and Marcel are less Lugosi, more dashing serial killers, sour and snobbish, fond of fine things. Not unlike a competitive clan of creepy Kennedy cousins. These nearly immortal all-stars of mayhem and murder lack talons, retractable fangs and vulnerability to garlic or sunshine. They cast shadows. They make reflections in mirrors, and when buried, our boys enter a state of metabolic suspension, "sleeping" until it's safe to rise and return to their work, harvesting heads. After more than 150 years in hibernation, the vampires are revived by the spilled blood of methamphetamine users killed in a gangland ambush. The trio are instantly and utterly addicted - not to the toxic drug itself, but to the blood of those who intravenously use meth. Soon the frankendrug's grip draws their destinies into a narrow spiral of addiction, and their plans to return to modern France are sidetracked, then forgotten as they become lost in the American empire-turned-nightmare of 2028. Season of Destruction is a story that runs on bodies. It's a swim meet in a shark tank, and very few make it out alive. It's a story about the beginning of the end of the world.
