《Shadow’s World》53. Losers

Alex POV
I got up to dodge the incoming attack from Erica. We have arrived and Erica loves to wake up people violently. The seat I was laying in has a dent in it now. The sound from her punch woke up the rest of my team. The all look toward the nose and see a huge dent in the seat and me standing up. Erica was sitting back down reading her book. She looks up from and says, “We have arrived everyone gets your crap and get off of the bus. You have 10 mins to get this done.” They all look at me with tears in their eyes. Well, it doesn’t seem they understand. “You guys it is almost lunchtime. So, get your stuff and meet in the cafeteria we need to get back on schedule.” I order them. They nodded and some of them start stretching but they were moving. I got my things and leave the bus. I walk down the hall going back to the room when I meet Michael and some other people who were following him.
“Hi, Alex mister perfect. Where have you been?” He asks. I should summon Erica, she is better at dealing with people like him. “Nothing just got back from vacation. We had a hard month of training and my team needed the break.” I replied. “Hahaha haha hahaha,” Michael starts laughing. The rest of the groups follow and the hall was full of laughter. “You hear this loser? He is supposed to be the number 1 fighter and yet he still training and is going on vacations. Do you know what we did loser? We went on our first million and we caught a fairy user. It was a mermaid. We took the school by surprise. Even the elders are surprised we were able to capture the fairy user. How does it feel to be left behind?” He walks up and puts his finger in my face.

It seems it is time for a beat down. I was about to hit this guy with a stone to the face when a nurse comes from behind the group. “Hey, you guys do not bully other kids. Michael, you did something great. So, do not bully other kids,” She yells. Michael looks at me and whispers, “You are lucky loser. You better go hunting like the rest of us. So we can see your true skills.” He walks past me, bumping me as he walk past. I start to summon earth when “Alexander do not give me more work!” The nurse yells. I roll my eyes Katherine is being a pain again. “Hey why don’t you tell stupid bald elder to stop bullying me?” She starts laughing and walks up and flip my nose. “That is because I think you are a cute kid when you are hurt. You were going to give me 10 new patients that might need a week or more to heal. Compare that to Jessie, who only gives me one patient and will be gone in an hour. Be like him and stop taking after your sister.”
I fall to the ground, “that was a low blow Katherine. Did people ever tell you not to hit below the waist?” I ask on my knees. She sighs and walks away. I get up off of the floor and looks around. I think Michael was walking to the cafeteria. Hmm, he started something with me. He might start something with my team as well. Erica is going to murder him or try to, I skip to the cafeteria and looks inside. Michael is hovering over my team and talking crap. “Losers how does it feel to not be going on missions and instead hiding outside of the school? Losers do you guys feel good that your leader is a moron.” He is getting the crowd wild up. Hey, go after Erica or do something that would actual make her mad. Michael walks up to Erica. Yes, here it comes do it. Make her mad so she can put you in your place. “Erica join my team, you aren’t like these losers. I have seen you fight and seen your test scores. Not even mention you are very beautiful. Join me and together we can take over and become something stronger than the elders.”

Erica looks to Michael and says, “you are not worth my time go away or else. There isn’t going to be a second warning.” She puts down her books and looks at Michael. “You dear define me? Look at these losers. Heck I know this one is the bottom of the class in both powers and grades.” He points to Wendy. “Let me show you people the difference in power between me and these losers.” He slowly summons a flame. Hey, who is he going to use that against? He throws it at Wendy. This is an attack she cannot handle. Erica easily stop the attack and punches Michael right in the stomach. She grabs Michael by the neck and chokes slams him into the ground. She stands back up and puts her foot on his neck. “Learn respect boy! I am not to be trifle with. Alex is 10 times stronger than you and 100 times smart than you. It would take an army to beat him. Heck let me show you the difference in power between you two. Your entire group vs Alex and then after we might have the entire school vs Alex and I to top it off. You want to talk about losers? You have no idea about the meaning of that word.” Erica says. She raises her foot off of Michael’s neck and stomps right on top of it. Now, it looks like she misses. Wow, that was mean of her.
I feel this burning inside of my body aim at him every since he attacks wendy. This new fire is weird by I am happy I get to break this fool. Erica leaves the room and looks at me and says, “See little brother I am from time to time. How does this make you feel?” I responses, “Thank you, big sis. I will ask our parents to get you another book that you want.” She grows a smile on her face and starts skipping away.

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.
