《THE OTHER LIFE OF ACP》THE OTHER LIFE OF ACP - Chapter 14 : Goodbye... Elizabeth
Advertisement
I screamed at them. by the way, the royal guards left. (author, you forgot.)
"Hey stop!" [Henry]
As soon as i said that both of them stopped and looked at me angrily.
"You do not order me around, you fat man!" [Catherine]
"Don't stop me Henry!" [Elizabeth]
"Firstly, Elizabeth, it's really petty of you to fight just because you were called a weakling." [Henry]
"And you, Catherine, you do not tell people they are a weakling just because they are of lower rank." [Henry]
"You can't tell me what to do!" [Catherine]
Catherine charged at me and pointed her sword at me. i didn't flinch. but i was f*cking scared to death in the inside.
"Fight me." [Catherine]
"Alright." [Henry]
"You coward! fight me or- what?" [Catherine]
"I'll fight you." [Henry]
"Oh... okay then." [Catherine]
We first gained some distance, then we would start the battle.
"Where is your weapon?" [Catherine]
"Don't need it." [Henry]
"you! you shall not receive any mercy!" [Catherine]
She stared at me at about 10 seconds, angrily. then she charges at me. she swings her sword all around, me dodging all round, then she finally lost her breath.
"Coward! Fight me!" [Catherine]
She rushes in, swinging again, and again. and on the last swing, i caught the sword.
"Wha?" [Catherine]
"I win." [Henry]
"Not yet!" [Catherine]
She then activated her skill [Adrenaline]. it boosted her status by 100%. and completely replenished her SP.
"Oh sh*t." [Henry]
She charges at me, and kept going in circles. then in some point, she would strike at me, i dodged it of course.
It was getting a bit annoying, so i just ran in front of her. she completely stopped, then she thrusted her sword. i caught the end of the sword, then forcibly removed the sword out of her hand. then i did the same thing to Elizabeth when we first met but with less power. lose the footing, grab the shoulder, then toss her over. she was completely surprised.
"How did you-" [Catherine]
"Never judge a book by it's cover." [Henry]
"We'll call it a tie." [Catherine]
"I would have still beaten you in strength." [Catherine]
"Actually you won't." [Elizabeth]
"And why is that, Elizabeth?" [Catherine]
"I've seen him punch, trust me, you don't want to be the person that's about to get hit by this man." [Elizabeth]

"I'll believe it when i see it." [Catherine]
"Henry, please?" [Elizabeth]
"No." [Henry]
"Please?" [Elizabeth]
"No." [Henry]
"Pretty please?" [Elizabeth]
"Fine." [Henry]
I directed them to a giant boulder. and showed them that it is a real boulder.
"It's real alright." [Catherine]
"Yep." [Elizabeth]
I then proceeded to lightly punch the boulder, the boulder exploded and bits and pieces of them are flying everywhere.
"What the f*ck?" [Catherine]
"I know right?" [Elizabeth]
"I- i concede." [Catherine]
"Okay. thanks for the battle i guess." [Henry]
"Ca- can we stat over?" [Catherine]
"Sure. why the f*ck not?" [Henry]
"Really!? you made up that fast?" [Elizabeth]
"Catherine. could you cover your ears? as a request from a friend?" [Henry]
"Fine." [Catherine]
"She's a beautiful girl. what do you think i would do? kill her?" [Henry]
"No... well good luck i guess." [Catherine]
"What, Where are you going?" [Henry]
"Somewhere, i don't know. i guess around the world. that has been my ream when i was a child." [Elizabeth]
"So, you're leaving?" [Henry]
"Yes." [Elizabeth]
"Sh*t, okay, bye i guess." [Henry]
"Bye. see you... when we meet again." [Elizabeth]
Then she flew away.
I was sad. it was depressing to see my other world comrade leaving. i was crying in the inside. and tear drops falling flowing on the outside.
"Catherine." [Henry]
"..." [Catherine]
"Catherine?" [Henry]
"..." [Catherine]
"Cather-, oh right, sh*t." [Henry]
i took her arms off her ears.
"Catherine." [Henry]
"oh, sorry, i was thinking." [Catherine]
"Where do you live?" [Henry]
"At the capital, why?" [Catherine]
"Which way is the capital?" [Henry]
"At east, again why?" [Catherine]
"Then let us go there." [Henry]
"okay? tell me. WHY?" [Catherine]
"Because of this." [Henry]
i pointed at... fenrig. well the rubbles of fenrig.
"oh." [Catherine]
"Then let's go." [Henry]
Fenrig was in complete ruins. it was like a tornado hit this town. just rubble everywhere. so we just went straight to the capital. then i remembered something.
"Oh!" [Henry]
"What is it?" [Catherine]
"I have to do "that"." [Henry]
"That?" [Catherine]
So i found some space in the grass. then i prepared myself. Catherine was all confused on what i was doing.

"Okay, let's do this." [Henry]
"What is "this"?" [Catherine]
giveHenryBlack Resurrection MAX |
‘Skill acquired: [Resurrection]’
‘[Resurrection] has leveled up from LVL :1 to LVL :MAX’
"Okay. go." [Henry]
I activated [Resurrection] and a blank bar was in front of me. and on top of it is some text saying "Enter name".
I entered the name Arch devil, and then a list popped in front of me. the content was basically all of the arch devils that have died. and it was organized by recently killed, convinient. i select the one that matches the stats.
A circle formed on the ground, it was inscribed in some language, but of course i could understand since i have [All Language]. it literrally said "Resurrection time!" funny. then a ray of light came from above. it covered the whole circle and it was like that for 30 seconds. then the ray of light shatters like glass.
Inside was the Arch Devil, lying on the grass. Catherine was surprised by this and took out her sword. i stopped her, and i approached the arch devil.
"Wake up." [Henry]
"Huh? what?" [Arch Devil]
"I told you would be resurrected." [Henry]
"My god. are you god?" [Arch Devil]
"No." [Henry]
"Where is my father?" [Arch Devil]
"He'll be here soon. i have to do this again." [Henry]
"Okay, thank you, human." [Arch Devil]
"It's only fair." [Henry]
Catherine was dumbfounded. the demon she killed is now alive. she had the look of confusion and doubt. i did the resurrection again. but then i picked the matching stats. then the circle appeared, then the light, then the shattering. there was an Arch Devil standing now. then he looked around, and saw his son.
"Son!" [Arch Devil 2]
"Father!" [Arch Devil 1]
"They hugged each other, it would've been sweet, if only they weren't so ugly. then when the father saw me, he turned pale and ran the the other direction.
"Father stop!" [Arch Devil 1]
"Kill that man! he is the one who killed me!" [Arch Devil 2]
"And he's the one who revived you." [Arch Devil 1]
"What?" [Arch Devil 2]
The Son explained the whole thing, Fenrig, me talking in demon, and the reason of revival.
"Still, he killed me." [Arch Devil 2]
"And revived you." [Arch Devil 1]
"Well, is that all you need? then i'll be off." [Henry]
"Wait!" [Arch Devil 1]
"What?" [Henry]
"Can you please be my master?" [Arch Devil 1]
"What do you mean?" [Henry]
"A demon can choose a person to be their master. and i choose you." [Henry]
"Oh, then okay." [Henry]
"I shall give you a name then." [Henry]
"A name!?" [Arch Devil 1]
"Can't really keep calling you Arch Devil right?" [Henry]
"Then, thank you master!" [Arch Devil 1]
"How about... Elgir?" [Henry]
"... I am Elgir." [Elgir]
Then something like a cocoon covered him. we waited for about 10 minutes, then someone cam out of the cocoon.
"Elgir?" [Henry]
"Yes, master." [Elgir]
Elgir Look is now human, but he has horns now. he also has black hair, and red eyes. he was strangely wearing a suit when he came out. i appraised him.

Seems that he has leveled up quite a bit. he's stronger than his father now. level 100, all stats are in the 1000's, except for luck.
"Son?" [Arch Devil 2]
"Yes, father?" [Elgir]
"You finally Evolved!" [Arch Devil 2]
"I did?" [Elgir]
"Look at yourself!" [Elgir]
Elgir's look was of surprise, he looked at his hands, body and feet. he was quite happy.
"How did a devil become a Human?" [Catherine]
"Evolution." [Arch Devil 2]
"It is something we go through when we are given a name. but the strength depends on the person that gave the name." [Arch Devil 2]
"Oh." [Catherine]
"The more you know." [Arch Devil 2]
I was expecting this. i was quite happy. i now have a friend/disciple that is a monster. i wanted to befriend a monster actually, and i did.
While i was secretly celebrating, The father approached me.

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.
