《My Second Life As A Father Of Two》Chapter Two
Advertisement
Just as the question emerged in my mind, I felt nothing but pain, so much pain it felt as if my skull was being crushed by a ten ton weight, I gritted my teeth and collapsed on the ground, curling in on myself. A loud hiss broke pass my lips as the pain died down and even though it felt as if it had been an eternity only an instant had passed, I uncurled myself sprawling on the ground as the answers I wanted came to me.
I know knew who I was, or who I had became, I was now in the body of a young man called He MoTian, he was a eighteen year old student who had taken a break from his studies in order to care for his girlfriend who had become pregnant with his sons, the two babies I had seen in the crib earlier. They had been together for three years and this was the first time they had gotten physical only to end up as young parents and as much as he had to give up in order to support his partner and children he was willing.
They had just finished their first year of high school when she told him she was pregnant and even though he was shocked at first he soon figured out what he need to do, he knew the money he had on him wasn't enough and if he told his parents they would tell him to abort the babies, but he didn't want that so he took a break from school something that went against what his parents told him to so he ended up being disowned.
All his life he had been the youngest son of the He family, a large family with both wealth and power, but he gave it all up for the girl he loved, he took a break from school and moved out the day his parents disowned him only tossing him a little money before sending him on his way. They moved to a small place and he tried to find a job so he could save up for when the children would come, but sadly he couldn't because at the time he was still a minor himself.

But thanks to education he had, he was able to make money translating online books for the people that wanted them, but as much as he saved was as much that was needed to be spent, even more so when the babies were born. So a year later he found himself living in an old run down apartment, with his girlfriend and his two sons. The money he earned mainly going to buy what the babies needed, most of what was left went to his girlfriend and he barely got any for himself, but he was okay with that, until a week ago when the love of his life, the woman he gave up his family and future for, ran off with an older man.
He was shocked, disappointed and in pain but he still had his sons to look after so he put all his time into earning money, his only release was when he would cry himself to sleep every night, until last night, he had finished his work and checked on the twins before going over to his bed and collapsing into tears. He cried and cried trying his best to not wake up his sons, but maybe he had a seizure or something because his consciousness flickered out and he died right then and there, leaving behind his two sons.
As for me, Sun RenShou, all I could gather was that as I was finishing my third glass of wine for dinner there was a sharp pain in my chest and I went unconscious and then woke up here the next day. Yeah I really couldn't tell which one of us died more pathetical, but all I felt for the kid was pity and that maybe he might have been a bit stupid, but I won't judge him since he was a kid and I couldn't say my life was much better, aside from having money and that was only because I had two decades on him, but I suffered in my own way when I was young.

I sighed and got off from the floor, inadvertently looking at the cot he sacrificed all of that for there two only to not be able to watch them grow up, I felt sorry for the kid and the babies, but anger erupted in me at the thought of that selfish woman, a man gave up everything he had to make a family with you and stay by your side, only for you to run off because the man was poor. Cheap woman, I hope she gets hit by a ten ton truck and for her body to drag on the road for ten miles before she died, it's all she deserves, or maybe for the man to find another girl and leave her behind, oh it would be even better if he found a boyfriend.
I chuckled and walked over to the cot, looking in at the two half blooded babies that were staring at me with big watery eyes and smiles on their faces, the only word popped in my mind was cute, but then as I stared at them I realized that they were pretty small, they were seven months old but looked so small. I reached in a picked them out of the crib and found that even though the body was almost a skeleton I was still able to lift them, they were too light especially since most of the money he earned went to feeding them, oh wait, when that woman ran off she took the little savings they had, so the babies had been eating less than they should for a week. "Bitch."
I stared at them as they looked at me with sparkling eyes and couldn't help the smile that formed on my face as I decided to take care of them because at one point in my life I had wanted children of my own, I had even met the woman I wanted to have them with but then because of how chaotic my life became, I gave up the idea. But now there was nothing holding me back, I could finally have a family and best of all I even had the funds to raise them, who said I needed to live like this kid did just because I took over his body, he would only thank me if he knew.

8 246Entangled 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.
8 142Malheur aux vaincus - Short stories
I am a reader, not a writer. But in the spirit of contributing to the trove of texts present here, I hope to share some short stories that I wrote: two in French in a Roman Fantasy setting ; and the rest in English: one inspired by manichean webnovels, another one... difficult to classify as a fiction, a little flight of fancy about the 'What if?' game, and last even two poems.

8 172Living In Bleach ( Bleach x Reader)
I decided to make another bleach story since I had a great plot come to mind. Also this is an x Reader story, but I don't think you'll fall in love it's more like an adventure like a scenario for you.In this story you end up discovering more things about yourself and what you happen to be (not a soul reaper). This discovery not only helps you develop the truth about what you are, but it also brings new dangers.Posted in 2015, rewritten in 2021: I'm adding more detail to each chapter and fixing up the format. All the chapters will be posted eventually. So far 15 out of 26 are edited and posted.
