《Saving Earth》Choosing a Path
Advertisement
Jake was waiting for Susan and Claudia to get back with the truck. He had agreed with Susan, to get out of town and get everything finished and be back by Friday.
“I agree Jake.” Said Hal. “Get the truck, head back to the apartment, get some food and water if you want, but I can provide some, and then head back to me.”
“Sounds like a plan Hal.” Thought Jake. “We need to figure out these pheromones. I cannot afford to have everyone either hating or loving me. As soon as they get back I will do that. I was wondering about something however. How much money do we need to start investing? Maybe we can use the money Susan gave us to get a small start?”
“I will have to investigate that Jake.” Answered Hal. “I will look for a firm with a good candidate, and we can set that up when you get back. Once we have cash the investing is easy. I have analyzed your stock markets and I can easily pick the best stocks to buy and when to sell. We must do it in secrecy however, the person we use must not give the information to anyone else.”
“Maybe we should just hire someone then?” Thought Jake. “That way we can control them. We can get Susan to make up some legal contracts about this. Look up what you need to trade on the stock market and look at local firms for a good candidate.”
Susan and Claudia pulled into the parking lot. Susan was driving an old F150 but it looked in great condition. I have always wanted an old truck, thought Jake.
“You can buy as many as you want soon Jake.” Replied Hal. “I can find them for you and you can pick the ones you like. In a few months you will have a lot of cash. Once the company is started you can buy what you want, I have already come up with a basic design for a new processor that will outperform everything currently on the market. It will be your first product. In a few years we will be the leader in processors and all parts of computers.”

“How far ahead have you planned Hal?” Asked Jake.
“I have planned 400 years ahead, but the plan is fluid.” Replied Hal. “If all goes to plan in 400 years’ humans will go to the rescue of my creators. You will be the father of a new race and the saviour of two species.”
Susan opened the door to the truck and jumped out. She had changed into tight jeans and a tight white t-shirt. Holy hell, thought Jake, she looks even sexier then before. Susan smiled at Jake as she walked over. She had seen his eyes widen as she had walked over and was glad she took the time to change into these clothes. She felt sexy and excited. It made her happy that Jake liked what she saw. She could smell him as she approached and he smelled yummy.
Behind her Claudia jumped out of her car, and Jake looked at her as well. She had changed as well, and her full figure was on display. She had a tight pair of shorts and a halter top on. She looks incredible, thought Jake. I will have to touch her as well, she is incredible.
Claudia looked up and smiled at Jake. She knew she looked good and wanted Jake to notice her. She was excited at flaunting herself. She had never done this before but it was exhilarating. She felt more alive then ever. Even from this distance she could smell Jake and his odor was intoxicating.
“Wow, you two look incredible.” Said Jake whistling as they walked up. “I cannot thank you enough Susan for all the help. You will not regret this. When I get back I will take you both out for a great meal, maybe some dancing? We could go play pool, whatever you two beautiful ladies want.”
A shiver went through both of them as Jake whistled at them. They both smiled and strutted over to him. Susan tossed him the keys to the truck.

“She is all gassed up and ready to go Jake.” She said. “If anything comes up I will phone you on your cell. I will work on getting in contact with the auction house, and setting up a meeting for here. I will try and set if for next week.”
“I will get the offices basically furnished and with some working computers.” Said Claudia. “I will wait for you to come back and you can oversee the fine tuning of the office.”
“Wow.” Said Jake. “You two are awesome. I would not be able to do anything without you both. I may have to hire you both the keep you around, I do not want to lose either of you to anyone else.”
A shiver went through them both. They would love to work more closely with Jake. They both imagined him in their lives and were very happy about it.
Impulsively Claudia grabbed Jake and hugged him. A shock went through them both and Claudia felt light headed. Jake held as she seemed to wobble on her feet. Susan stepped forward and hugged them both. She felt the shock as well but it was not as intense as before, it felt familiar and right. She reached up and grabbed Jake’s face and kissed him hard on the lips. Jake returned the kiss. He released her and turned to Claudia and kissed her hard as well. She returned the kiss and pulled as close as she could to Jake. Her body was on fire, she had never felt this way before.
“I have to accept it Hal.” Thought Jake. “If they are imprinted then I will have to embrace it. We can judge the results when I get back on Friday”
“I think you are right.’ Replied Hal. “We will have to let nature take its course and they are already linked to you.”
Jake stopped kissing Claudia and released them both. He looked at them both and smiled. He was going to enjoy this, two beautiful women, partners for the future. He could lean on them as time passed to help him bring Hal’s plan to fruition.
“We can continue this when I get back on Friday, Ok?” He said looking at both of them.
Susan leaned over and hugged Claudia. This was unlike anything she had experienced before, but it felt right. She had always thought of Claudia as a sister, what would happen in the future, well they would see.
“Hurry back Jake.” Said Susan. “I want to continue this conversation in a more private setting.”
“Not without me.” Said Claudia hugging Susan back. She had no idea what was happening but it felt right. This day was so confusing but invigorating. She and Susan would have to talk about this later.
Jake waved and walked over and got into the truck. He started the engine and put on his seatbelt. He waved and put the truck in drive and headed off for his apartment.
Susan and Claudia waved and watched him drive away. Still hugging they turned and walked back towards their offices. They had a lot to talk about.

Delve
Summary – Level 1: Delve is an isekai litrpg that follows an average guy who just happened to wake up in a forest one day. He wasn’t summoned to defeat the demon lord or to save the world or anything like that, at least as far as he can tell. The only creature there to greet him was a regular old squirrel. Soon enough, he meets other people, only to discover that he can’t speak the language, and that not everybody immediately trusts random pajama-wearing strangers they met in the middle of the wilderness. Things generally go downhill from there, at least until the blue boxes start appearing. Delve is a story about finding your way in a new, strange, and dangerous world. It’s about avoiding death, figuring out what the heck is going on, and trying to make some friends along the way. It’s not about getting home, so much as finding a new one. Did I mention that there will be math? Summary – Level 2: Okay, but what are you in for, really? Well, this story is supposed to be realistic, or at least, as realistic as a fantasy litrpg can be. The main character doesn’t instantly become an all-powerful god and murder-hobo his way across the universe. Delve is, at its heart, a progression fantasy, but that progression is meant to feel earned. The numbers in this story actually mean something. Everything is calculated, and if you find a rounding error, I expect you to tell me about it. That said, if math isn’t your cup of tea, there is plenty more that the story has to offer. Characters are meant to feel real, and progression isn’t only about personal power; it’s also about allies, connections, and above all, knowledge. Figuring out how the system works is a significant theme. ... What, you want more details? Okay, fine, but this is going to get a bit spoiler-y. Are you sure? Yes! Really sure? I mean, this summary is practically half as long as the first chap– Now! Okay, okay! The main character becomes a magic user, but he takes a route that is not very popular in adventurer culture, namely that of a support. There is a full magic system with various spells, skills, and abilities, but our MC decides that aura magic is the way to go, and that the only stat worth investing in is mana regeneration. Most people at the Adventurer’s Guild think that this makes him a bit of a dumbass, but he’s playing the long game. We’ll see how that works out for him, won’t we? Because of his build, the MC levels up fast, at least compared to normal people. There are no cheats, though, and he is limited in other ways. There are some clear and pretty obvious downsides to his build. That’s what makes it fun, no? Morals? Our MC has them. Again, we’ll see how that works out for him. Realism, remember? Would you be okay with killing someone and looting their body? I sure hope not. POV? The focus is on the main character, but there will be occasional varying perspectives from people around him, or involved in the events related to the main plot. It isn’t going to jump all over the place. Tech is standard medieval stasis. No smartphones, but the MC does have a technical background. Computers and their programming might be involved. There might even be a bit of uplifting down the road, who knows? Anyway, it isn’t the focus. He isn’t going to invent the gun in chapter 1 and change the face of warfare. Romance is not a major focus. Friendships are more the name of the game, though there will be some characters in romantic relationships. There is exploration, though not as much of the geographical nature as you might expect. It is more about exploration of the system and the culture. The pace is slow and detailed, sometimes verging on slice-of-life. The action is meant to be realistic and grounded in the numbers, and it is intended to have meaning beyond simply punching things until they stop moving. The general tone of the story is grey, and some parts can get quite dark. People die. Sometimes, people with names, but not anywhere near GoT level. There is plenty of light, too, though, to balance the darkness. The world is dangerous, but overcoming that danger is why we’re all here, isn’t it? Anyway, if you’ve made it this far through the summary, you clearly like words. I hope you enjoy the story! Cover by Miha Brumec Summary Updated: 2020-06-14

Hiraeth: Promise of the World
On a rainy night, a young woman is transported to the enchanting world of Sol'h'meyr. Thrilled to be freed from the shackles of monetary survival and societal expectations on Earth, she embraces her newfound existence and magical powers bestowed. But the rose-tinted fantasy life she always dreamed of turns out to be a stark reality that poses to kill her if she doesn't adapt and let go of her past. Essairyn battles both cripping nostalgia and imminent danger in her journey from the Spirit and Demon Forest to the human realm of As'pyze. Disillusionment leading to anger has erupted into violence across the deceptively peaceful land. New friends and allies gather by her side, but tragedy and betrayal lurk closer than she realizes. Hiraeth is the idyllic beginning tainted with dark shadows in the epic fantasy series, Singularity Cycle.

The original version of the first book was published on RR in 2019 and has since seen multiple revisions based on reader feedback with this one as the final and official fourth version before the second book. While the entire series story has undergone major changes in the last year, all books have been planned since the beginning of writing. It is also my second wish to eventually make this story into a webcomic, either by myself or with a team if possible. Thank you for taking this journey with me, and enjoy reading! ( You can alternatively read books in the series as standalone fictions, but they connect to one another though a running theme and mystery that evolves and progresses with the main character. ) Alternate Blurb for the Singularity Cycle series: Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters mythical creatures beyond her restless imagination in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is gifted with abnormal magic, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world more dangerous than its beautiful facade could hide. Finding new friends along a path riddled with tragedy, Essairyn must learn who to trust as deceit and betrayal lie behind kindly faces. Life in this deceptively promising world slowly spirals down a path of no return. This is not a game, but cruel reality. Her simple adventure became the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tore even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought they were. And not even the fickle gods could change the time-worn destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence.
