《Rise of the Empress of Stars》Press Release

*Ring* *Ring*
Trying to slam away the alarm but only hitting air, Zera wakes up irritable only to find Eni laughing at her.
"You should look at yourself right now and you will find out how cute you are with your dazed expression along with frizzy hair. Hahaha..." Laughed Eni, recording a video of Zera and sending it to Sylvia silently without Zera's knowledge.
Rubbing the messy head irritable and giving a white-eye to Eni Zera got down from the bed wearing pair of fluffy pink bunny slippers and asked Eni walking towards the bathroom," *Yawn*….What's the time now?" while taking a yawn.
"Few minutes before the start of the press release."
"Hmm...how is the availability of Caeyton?"
"It's still too small if you want to supply a Smartwatch considering the entire population. The large amount of Caryton they found in the mine we bought from last time can be considered a mutation as we are not able to find such large quantities till now from any other sources."
"Uhm...Fine then. Send a message to dad and ask him to showcase only the high-end Smartwatch. Tell him that we are going to cooperate with the government later on for the basic model; they provide the materials and we do the manufacturing along with programming, we get a percentage of profit later on."
"Uhm...Done"
Whipping off the water dripping along her cheeks and throwing the towel on the bed, wearing a training suit Zera walked towards the exclusive training room for herself in the laboratory.
Time passes quickly as Zera exercised till she can't even keep her eyes open and laid down on the floor calming he breath and started to absorb aura to prime the evolution of cells.
Waking up after a couple of hours due to the growling of her stomach, Zera opened her eyes and took a look at the time and confirmed that the press release should be over by now, and asked Eni to show her the response.

Eni projected the latest news as Zera ate an apple, taking a sip of juice from time to time.
"The latest Smartwatch released by the recently registered Aeon Group is reported to be out of stock within half an hour after it's opened for preorder.
It's also confirmed by reputed AI developers and scientists from various fields that the technology used in making the device is advanced by several levels.
The basic version is confirmed to have biometric verification including Iris scanning. The device is also capable of monitoring the vital signs of the wearer and can notify the emergency departments in case of an accident.
The high-end device is capable of projecting holograms and it comes equipped with DNA identification giving high protection for privacy. They are also able to connect with the Aeon group's own network which is said to cover every place on the planet and the signal cannot be lost even with signal jammers currently available.
According to an insider it is said that there are plans to make the basic version of Smartwatch available to every citizen at a low price in collaboration with the governments and they will be used to replace identification at a later stage.
Blablabla......."
'Hmm, looks like we need to increase production even more. Anyway, dad will take care of it. Let's see if the satellite has finished analyzing the data for the location of aura springs. Uhm, 99.7%. Well a couple more hours and it will be done. Let's see dad is going to a meeting with the agent representing the government, let's call grandpas to select the location.'
"Hey Eni, give both of my grandpas a call."
Eni made a call while monitoring the satellite data without lifting her head.
After a few seconds, a hologram popped up showing the tired faces of two middle-aged men in training suits.

"Well well, look who it is. Dear did you forget your grandpa once you went into the research institute or have those research madmen lock you up and you escaped just now to make a call for rescue. Don't worry your grandpa is coming there right now and will take you out." Said Ardon, rolling up his sleeves and about to run out immediately towards the laboratory.
Xander and Zera both face palmed looking at the antiques of his friend and her grandpa.
"*Sigh*. Grandpa, you calm down first. There is no such thing as getting locked up and I am fine, look I even gained some weight after a couple of weeks." Said Zera squeezing her slightly chubby arms in front of the hologram.
"Ah, you are fine! *Sigh* Well then what's the matter, little girl?" Asked Ardon, with some disappointment in his tone.
'Why do I think you look disappointed at your granddaughter not being locked up as a research object grandpa?'
"The data processing regarding the location of aura springs will be finished in a couple of hours, grandpa. We can choose the location for our base and start planning when you come to the research institute. You can also try some new hologram games that Eni just made a few days ago."
Giving each other a look they both agreed to be there in a couple of hours as the location from their home to the institute is quite far.
'Uhm, it nearly took four months to get the satellite to collect all the data and start processing it in search of aura springs. It's not possible to make any high-end weapons with the current technology and I don't think it's a good idea anyway to let them get their hands on those things now.
Introduce new tech - check
Build a base - in progress
Find spiritual plants for limit breaking - in progress
Adopting kids - need to do this after the base is built
Well, still a lot of things to do (for dad). Hmm, let's have brunch and take another nap, I don't anything to do today anyway.'

8 84Dead Circus
Sylas never knew he was a Cambion, a being with supernatural abilities called Arma. Society discarded him out of fear and subjugated him out of jealousy. Now, Sylas has joined Dead Circus, a group bent on achieving equality for Cambions, no matter the cost. Sylas has been given a chance to fight the injustice present in the city-state of Concordia, and fix society for everyone to live free of chains and tyranny. However, there are those who would rather see it all burn down so they can start over from the ashes. Who decides what is right and wrong? Who decides what freedom costs? At the end, who will stay true to their virtues and who will be swallowed whole by the jowls of a twisted society? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dead Circus is an original dystopian light novel heavily inspired by Japanese light novel style storytelling, character design and world building. My hope is that every chapter will include a few full illustrations to use as supplementary material to the chapter itself. Dead Circus will contain mature themes and some uncomfortable topics. Any chapters containing these types of themes will be noted before the chapter begins. All art associated with Dead Circus, including the cover art is made by me. Fanart or any artist collaborations for the chapter release will be tagged with the respective creators. Dead Circus is divided into volumes and will release weekly with small gaps in between the ends of volumes. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I deeply appreciate your taking the time to read both this description and my work and I look forward to any and all feedback I receive. -Branime
