《The Crawford's Multiverse of Madness》Chapter 115 - Come At Your Own Risk
Advertisement
(Zeel's POV)
Sitting in the conference room, I could feel the uncertainty in the atmosphere. It was almost palpable, but also laughable how concerned the group was. I won't lie, after the battle, I left a bad impression on everyone here.
Even Alice didn't know I was cloning the Garde, and I can feel her curiosity about Project Quasar – but I can't tell her it is practically condemning an entire galaxy to death.
Alice began talking "So what are we doing here, does it have to do with how we're going to get to Lorien?"
She obviously wanted to guide the talks away from the war we left for the humans to handle. I doubt they can't win with the chimeras there to help them. I feel no pity for the humans that die as a result of the conflict, I was incapable of feeling so.
However, I still felt a faint bit of reluctance at so many useless deaths. It was not their deaths that bothered me, but the mere thought of someone dying needlessly, and uselessly. I guess it was a form of OCD from my time training with the Asheborn's. I was thought that everything has its uses, and it was a crime to waste resources.
Anyways, as I said before – the battle was over before it even began. I could detect Setrakus Ra's spaceship as it left the Earth's atmosphere and activated its hyperdrive. I could also tell that he deactivated the gravitational stabilizers to move faster, chances are he'll be dead before he even gets to Lorien.
Setrakus Ra probably thought the planet itself was Lorien, which is true but currently, Lorien is within the members of the Garde – slumbering, recharging herself with the excess energy from Alice's and my bodies.
"Yes and no," I replied and as I was about to continue, Elizabeth chimed in feeling a bit frustrated at the current situation "Cut the shit Zeel, just tell us what we need to know,"

Elizabeth had been irritated after she used her nanites to look at the aftermath of the battle earlier. I can't say I am exactly disappointed in her. Not everyone has the stomach to see strewn limbs and corpses all over. Alice and I could stomach it since we often saw it in The Resident Evil Universe.
"How emasculating," I comment, wondering if I wear the pants in the relationship or Elizabeth does. Hell, I think Alice wears the pants sometimes, but she makes me think I wear them so we don't argue.
"So has anyone wondered how my legacy works?" I asked trying to win their curiosity instead of their ire.
"Are you kidding? It's like the number one mystery since we met, we even have bets on it," John commented.
"I bet that it was a new legacy you willed into creation, maybe some technique like my 'Law Creation'?" Ella shrieked excitedly looking for approval.
"I bet it was an ability dormant within you that the legacies just complimented it," Vishnu called out.
Cindy shrugged "I bet it was soul manipulation since you technically saved my soul,"
Marina just stayed quiet and observed the debate, waiting for the correct answer to be told.
"I didn't bet since I kinda knew the answer with some of your memories being accessible to me and all," Elizabeth said to which I could feel my mouth twitch; though she notices this and inquires about my strange reaction.
Alice replied "Those memories are deeper in his subconscious meaning that very deep feelings are required to trigger the response system that links nanites together, meaning the deeper you fall in love the more you see,"
"Yeah, and it's pretty uncomfortable that you fell so quickly, Alice took years, you a couple of months. Almost like you were trying to forget yourself," I explain with a smirk knowing exactly what she is trying to forget.

Elizabeth shrugs "Hey what can I say? I am a committed girl"
"Or maybe one looking for a worthy death, after all, what was it again 'A good death is a blessing on its own'?" I questioned to which she freezes up and Alice bumps my shoulder knowing that was the phrase Elizabeth learned while she was captured by the Mogadorians a couple of years back.
In all honesty, I didn't love Elizabeth, at first, it was just us having sex with Alice's approval but then it became an everyday thing with her moving into the room.
Elizabeth and Alice became closer and closer. While I did like the fact that Alice allowed me to sleep with other women, all while not seeing anyone but myself. Every guy has that dream, right? But the reality is cruel, a fact I learned from a young age, so having multiple girlfriends weren't on the list for me.
"You got something to say to me Zeel," Elizabeth asks becoming a bit confrontational.
"Nothing," I answered before moving on "Well, my legacy is nothing different from yours actually. It's the exact same, I am just better than you guys,"
"Bullshit! You can manipulate anything from what I have seen," John said.
"Make anything as well, with enough concentration," Vishnu added.
"Yeah, and badass nanites to add to it," Cindy also added.
"Well, that's because you guys don't know what technology is, what is technology?" I asked wanting to hear their answers.
"Computers?" John replied.
"Loric charms?" Cindy butted in.
Then when it was Marina's turn to answer she thought for a long time before coming to a realization and answering "Anything!"
"Exactly," I answered a bit impressed at her deduction capabilities "My legacy is Technokinesis, but I called it TechnoMancy of my own accord. Everything around you is technology but humans and apparently Loriens have a preconceived notion that technology is limited to computers and the like.
Really some of the first things considered technologies were spider webs, plows, and the like. I just broaden what I think of technology as, then grains of sand with their crystalline structures became technology, the earth with different composition of soil became technology, everything human-built or nature intended for efficiency became technology to me.
Hence why I say, my legacy is no different from yours really, just I am better than you guys,"
"Kind of a bummer realizing we haven't been questioning these things all the while we had our legacies," Marina muttered.
A statement that I wholeheartedly agreed with as they were just children with gifts before Alice and I met them. Alice and I don't consider ourselves kids anymore since we are about 33 this year.
However, our outward appearance has not aged a day over 21.
"So what does this have to do with going to Lorien?" Marina asked.
"Well, he was trying to say that he built a space ship that can reach Lorien faster than Setrakus Ra but it's risky," Alice summarized what I had been saying since the beginning.
"Well yeah, so come at your own risk," I say darkly chuckling since I knew it would be one hell of a ride.

This Strange New Life
Seems like I got a new chance. Better not fuck it up then, since I really want to see what it feels to have a family. Power is pretty lame alone. Best used to build things and protect people. Did a lot of building 'till now, lots of research stuff and all. Now, let's protect the people that I love and that loves me back. An enjoyable life with my loved ones. Whatever the cost. Mufufu~~ What can I do, my siblings are so cute~~ maybe I'll try having children at some point~? --- PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION ^p^ ---- This is an extremely slow reincarnation story, with heavy usage of dialogues and diminutive descriptions. Chapter are posted whenever I feel like it, because I won't burn myself down like I did before. Chapters will often be around 2k words. The first arc, Life in Valince, will be at least 50 chapters deep, and the main character won't get to her 1 year anniversary over the span of this arc. As I said, it's a slow, character interaction, dialogue-heavy story. Lots of feeling, slice-of-life etc, with some dramatic events that shape the rest of the story ^^ AND PLEASE, STOP PESTERING ME ABOUT JAPANESE. this story contain a very limited amount of japanese words, used in context for a reason and that are part of the mystery of the worldAnd the bad guys use german (not because nazi buit because german is badass)And there’s also french. Please be open-minded. I’m not a delusional weeb and this kind of thing, and it would be very appreciated if people could be more polite.If you don't like it, I don't force you to read it, but a lot of people seems to like this novel nonetheless, so maybe you should give it a shot. ---- Lux's here! Yeah I know I should work on ToL and ToF but I had another idea, then another one. So here it is. Story talk about a war vet that reincarnate and can finally know what it is to have a family. I like engineering, creating things and all, so I'll try putting production scene in this. Like all my stories, it's about love, be it with family, friends or lovers. I like my coffee with so much love sugar that half the planet would get diabetes. You're warned. Also, the MC is quite OP, but I keep a progression curb and she still has things to learn, which she will eagerly do. After all, curiosity is one of her main drives, with a thirst for love and utter hate of loss, be it losing a battle or losing someone she loves. Ha, nearly forgot. CONTENT WARNINGS AREN'T FOR SHOW. Sex, of course. I'll try to explore sexuality as a male, a female, and some other PoV that can't be categorised like that, not exactly. Also, beware the yuri/yaoi. I don't limit myself to straight couples. Gore. A lot. Blood everywhere, guts spilling and all. I don't do censure. The Mc cut a wolf in half? you get the details of what is inside it. Traumatising content. I dunno. No NTR, no heartbreaking drama. However, some of you may dislike the way I handle bodies and flesh. Got some feedback about body horror on my previous works, but everyone as a different border separating transhumanism and body horror. Mine is pretty high. How high? Go read The Other Labyrthin to have an example. To put it in simple term, I've no problem at all to describe alien bodies, change in human bodies, interactions between differents strange species etc. Expect a lot of tentacle, bio-incubator, spawning pool à la zerg. Profanity. Well, I think you fucking got it in the very first sentence of this synopsis, ain't right? ---- THIS IS A WIP (work in progress)! Earlier chapters may get retconned or completely changed, structure of the story isn't set in stone, all the usual stuff. ANY HELP IS WELCOMED. Want to throw me your idea? Shoot! Spotted an error in the text? Comment! Seen a plothole bigger than the impact zone of a nuke? I'll gladly hear you out and try to fix the problem (somehow ;-;) --- Cover: John Martin - The Plains of Heaven (c. 1851) ---- Official Editor: TheZouave (starting from ch25 onward) ---- List of thanks: Necrotyr (English) Asviloka (English) Damokles (Review) David Talon (Review) JHA (English) Helbom (English) Slee202 (Common Coherence) NEEDS_MORE_DAKA (First First) Srayan (English) Koooomakimi (Dialogue Flow) Emagstar (English) Apocryphal (Review) ToasterForker (Review) Ellen Taylor (Review) Zak (English) PrimalShadow (English) Elliot Flanders (HUGE THANKS for the re-write of the poem "Tale of Ashen Night" Go check their work, it's good ^^) Lance Wheeler (Huge thanks for the English edit on each chapter ^^) (If you think you should be here because you helped me, feel free to ask, pointing the reason, like the comment you gave that could have helped me ^^)

A Spirit Vein's Guide to Immortality
TL;DR Synopsis: Man dies from falling banana, gets interrogated but answers vaguely, suffers consequences Actual synopsis: Spirit veins. Many consider them to be the pillar on which the world of cultivation is built. These things served as the foundation for the first few realms that would allow humanity to achieve its everlasting dream of immortality. However, in the present age, these pockets of condensed energy only exist to be under the foundations of massive organizations, fostering a new generation of fighters while passively radiating the energy they contain. Nevertheless, spirit veins are still an important element in the world of cultivation, albeit much less so. With that in mind, have you ever considered what it would be like for someone to turn into a spirit vein? No? Well, Arthur never thought about it either. Going through the usual reincarnation schtick (if one could consider it usual), Arthur was eventually brought into a place where a god asked him where he would like to be reborn. Unsurprisingly, Arthur told the god his ideal rebirth. However, soon enough, he would come to realize that he should have been more specific with it. Now being reborn as the smallest spirit vein, or if you could even consider him a spirit vein, Arthur wondered what he could do other than wait for time to consume him…and that’s where the system came in. With it, he would experience multiple stories of hardships, adventure, romance, and action…all underground. Unless…? Do keep in mind that English is not my first language, so I would like to apologize in advance if there are any grammatical errors, typos, miscalculations and so on. In fact, I'd highly appreciate it if you tell me those mistakes. Also, this story focuses quite a lot on the gradual progression of the MC at the beginning, but in the long run, upgrading sprees would probably be more common. Thanks for reading this small note!
