《Day of Doom》Chapter 8
Advertisement
The admin is insane. He has fired everyone in the facility, including himself. We have been trying to vote out the admin, but he has argued that we are strictly authoritarian. The cats are not intervening, instead commenting about how we should have listened to them and chosen a better admin. The dogs are not even intelligent enough to know what democracy means; We are doomed.

David dreamed of a mouse firing a bunch of mice, rehiring them, and then firing them again?
Whatever. Weird dreams were normal. The psychologist had told them that they meant something, but...
What the heck could a bunch of mice firing each other and arguing about him, the "test subject", and talking about some "doom day" as if they were the cause of all this nonsense possibly mean? This made even less sense than that dream he had about a unicorn barfing on little white pebbles and then selling them and calling them "skittles"!
Come to think of it, the one about the unicorn barfing on pebbles wasn't all that weird. That would explain why all the skittles tasted the same. But if the barf was rainbow, and the colors were different, wouldn't that mean that the taste was...? Dang it! He was confusing himself again.
It was time for his morning coffee(s). Adding an S at the end always makes it seem like there was more.

-REDACTED REDACTED
* * *
"Didn't the admin fire that redactor, like, yesterday?"
"Yeah, he did."
"Say...Who is the redactor?"
"Don't have the foggiest idea. He never showed his face and he seems to get fired every other day."
"Every other day?"
"The admin got on the news for firing the redactor every day, and then the redactor partially redacted what they put on the news, and so then the admin only fires him every other day now."
"Partially redacted?"
"Yeah. I'll email the news article to you later. Which one do you want? The first or the second? Or both?"
"There are two?"
"Three, actually."
"How?"
"They made another one about how the first one was 'partially redacted', only to have it 'partially redacted' as well."
"And the third?"
"That one was just to see if the redactor would 'partially redact' anything involving us."
"What happened to freedom of the press?"
"Dunno."
"Say...Who is the redactor anyway?"
* * *
What...was the meaning of life?
Was it to develop? To be entertained? Or was it to drink coffee?
Probably the latter.
David's coffee-powered brainstorming came to its inevitable end when he began thinking about coffee again.
* * *
"Subject is...Thinking about coffee again."
"Humans."
"I know, right?"
"Should we switch to a new subject?"
"Yes, probably."
"Okay, you go switch subjects, I'll see if I can somehow get Paranoi - Dadmin removed from his position."
"That's a hopeless cause, you know."
"Then what should we do?"
"I don't know, transfer all the equipment over?"
"It's easier and more effective to get Paranoi moved into an asylum."
"But wouldn't he just order his way back out?"

"...Whatever. Just go change the subject already."
"Say... What's the code for that?"

There Is No Mana In Space
The origin of mana has always been a mystery. It only deepened when magic and technology combined. When the first spaceship broke orbit, people were ecstatic only to fall silent when the spaceship simply stopped working and crashed back down. Luckily, one of the crew members survived and revealed something no one had thought possible. There was no mana in space. All of the ship's systems had failed because it relied on ambient mana to work. Now, thousands of years later, the solar system is littered with space stations, the planet Dust has been colonized and the races of the Oldworld thrive again, having recovered from the destruction of the Oldworld. They live, they level, and they learn. But still, the origin of mana is unknown, and puzzles the scientists of the world even more. Some planets have it, like Dust, while some have none. Why this is, no one knows… — Chapter schedule is MON / WED / SAT Happy reading and enjoy!

Scholar of the Fog
Leaving a trail of blood as he climbed up a hill, his limbs felt like lead. He was gasping too, his lungs burning with every step he took. It felt like a bundle of broken glass was scraping away the inner walls of his flesh. He was dying, obvious to both him and his pursuers. And it would not be long till he dropped dead as he bled away. If not, the people chasing him would surely finished what they had came for. It was as if the Gods themselves had already predestined his fate. He took one step forward and stood at the peak of the hill. He let his legs rest as he could barely go on. Heaving deep breaths, he could hear sneering voices and shouts behind him. They were close, and the grim realization stoked the embers of his most primal fear. He did not want to die. He had dreams, like any other youth. There was glory to be had in this world. He wanted to learn more of life, and lived through its motions. He wanted to live. He swept his gaze, and across him was a spanning forest of old. With a glint in his eyes, and jaws clenched, he decided to gamble with all he had. He was dying, and by now, it did not matter where his grave was. He ran down the hill, and stopped where the plains and the forest met. His eyes swept about the trees, and he could feel an instinctual urge to drag himself away. He knew what this forest was, and here, he would find his salvation. Or his doom. The voices behind him grew closer, and among the noise was the faint clanging of steel. Gritting his teeth, he ousted all the will he had from the depths of his soul and stepped forth into the forest. Damned he be by the Gods if they wanted him dead. -new synopsis 10/6/2016 ---------- A new chapter would be released every friday. And the quality of writing should improve each time, hopefully. Another important thing to mention is how the story as of now, is only a bedrock for a massive world if it ever gets there. (CH18) And if possible, reviews are very much appreciated. ---------- For the ones who are interested in the old synopsis: With one foot in the grave, he ran away for that little bit of hope. Exhausted and bleeding, it was only a matter of time until he passed out. By then, his fate would be sealed and he would be no more. Thus, he had to make a decision that might just save his life. It was a gamble, he knew, but he had no He ran into the forbidden forest where no man had ever come back. He headed within, intending to scare his pursuers away. But they persisted in their chase, hounding him down until he was forced to take a step of no return. There, in the darkest depths of the forest, was the ghastly fog and behind him where men who wanted his head. Left with nothing else, he stepped forth and crossed the boundary of the living and the dead. Henceforth, his fate was forever changed. No longer just a scholar, but something more…
