《Shadow- the solo sword master》book 1 chapter 3 changes completed
Advertisement
In the midst of once a pristine undisturbed white room, now it has been tainted by darkness having huge gashes in the wall caused by the chains going out of control.
In the center of the room that used to be devoid of anything aside from the table and shadow, now stood a massive cocoon in the middle surrounded by chains and cloaked by darkness with the aura of death seeping out.
The chains surrounding the cocoon trashed around the room causing bigger and bigger gashes until the wall was on the verge of breaking, just when it was about to continue its rampage the chains started to get retracted along with the darkness and the aura. Suddenly a loud Boom happened and the cocoon was no more in its place was a new species, a new improved life form SHADOW.
Shadow stood up silently and started to survey his surroundings, and was shocked upon seeing the devastated room. The walls he couldn't even damage is nearly destroyed to bits, massive gashes everywhere the white color turning into black and red. Shadow started pondering about how this situation came to be until he remembered about what happened.
Suddenly a sharp pain coursed through his head, it appears that shadow was still disoriented and would require time to sort himself out, just when shadow was about to commence his diagnosis of his surroundings, the events that occurred and himself. A loud noise rang out screaming out ACTIVATING and suddenly a bright light shone originating from the bracelet forming a screen in front of shadow.

Before shadow could even start to read the screen in front of him, he collapsed onto the floor, and started to spasm wildly, his arms thrashing around, his legs smashing the floors, as he was screaming in agony he let out a massive shock wave that encompassed the entire room causing the already fragile walls to break apart causing the room to collapse onto shadow.
During his rampage his desires and power leaked out of him, causing the chains, darkness and the aura to leek out again. The chains that came out of his body appeared to be different to the original chains, no longer was it completely black it turned into a dark crimson color giving an ominous feel to it, as if it was signalling your death was near. and they thrashed around forming a protective barrier around shadow and destroyed the crumbling rocks. .
However a single rock made it through the chains barrier, it was heading towards the thrashing body of shadow, but upon contact with a thin film of aura it was obliterated to smithereens. the darkness once again started to form around shadow, but this time instead of a cocoon the darkness accompanied by the chains and aura started to form a vortex around shadow.

Moving faster and faster the vortex quickly became a hurricane of darkness with chains encompassing it until an image appeared of what once was his mother being smashed and instead showing a picture of a sword covered in chains, signifying the rituals success, the side effects slowly dispersing and shadow stopped thrashing only to discover the power he has inherited from his mother side has disappeared into thin air only to be replaced with a sword that is locked with chains upon chains upon chains with only one chain being released.
With the side effects gone shadow stood up with a clear mind, thrumming with power although half his power dried, it got replaced with a more pure version of deaths power. Shadow then realized the situation, finally able to be clearheaded he realized his own desires and the destruction that comes along with it, the consequences of his actions. He thought to himself i hope that i don't have to pay for damages, as he surveyed his surroundings the room being completely wrecked and destroyed, aside from the floor that had huge gashes the walls were completely gone replaced with piles of rocks and dust.
Shadow feeling good was itching to test his power, to fulfill his desires until a voice appeared in his head "YOU DIMWIT CANT YOU SEE THE FLASHING LIGHT ON YOUR BRACELET, CALM YOURSELF THERE IS A TIME FOR YOU TO RELEASE YOUR DESIRES BUT CURRENTLY THIS IS FAR MORE IMPORTANT". Shadow although shocked realized the truths in those words and suppressed his emotions.
Upon suppressing his emotions, his head connected dots for him subconsciously he knew that the sword was now a part of him, and that he must have past the trial as he was still alive but he asked anyway, "who are you""You are far to weak to know my situation it would only do more harm than good but seeing as you are my master let me bestow you my name i am the rank??? sword DESIRE. "i would tell you more latter but right now open up the screen on your bracelet".
Although a bit reluctant shadow complied only to see a message about his purchases, upon reading all of it he decided to check on himself first and asked for his status window.

author notes
HI its me again, the lazy author that doesn't edit or read over, just releasing first drafts as it is so the writing may seem cheap and bad. Writing as i go is hard but whatever, The room although strong for the start, it is just a low ranked material belonging to the administrators as it was a bonus for 1000 points or more purchases, although 1000 is a lot its nothing compared to the truly strong this will be explained later.

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.
