《EEPOS: from rags to godhood》Charge of the beasts part 1
Advertisement
The thousand-strong black yak cavalry started to charge against the army down the hill. The earth trembled with the humongous black yaks hooves hitting the ground. Before long the army realized they were being attacked.
The enemy army started to mobilize. They ran and started to form a line to embrace the charge of the black yaks. Erik looked at the army forming into formations.
"Shit. Amala! Please stop Namri! We will otherwise lose all our cavalry!" Erik yelled.
"I said I cannot stop Namri," Amala said.
Erik looked at the enemy army organizing into battle formations.
"Cavalry please follow me," Erik yelled to his men.
The human cavalry started to follow Erik off to the side. Amala looked where the human cavalry was going.
"Pema you go with Namri. I will go with Erik," Amala yelled and started to ride trying to catch up to Erik.
Erik was moving his cavalry to the forest. Amala tried to catch up but realized that her black yak was clearly not as fast as the humans' cavalry. She had no chance of catching up to them with her black yak and instead jumped on one of the cavalryman's horse.
"What the hell are you doing," the cavalryman yelled at Amala.
"Just ride!" Amala yelled back at him making him quiet.
Amala was jumping from one horse to another until she reached Erik.
"What the hell are you doing. You are fleeing now?!" Amala yelled in a mad tone at Erik.
"We have to flank them. They will be able to stop the charge of Namri since they were spotted so early. We have to now ride fast to get behind the enemy through the woods, so they don't spot us," Erik explained.
"How do you know what will happen?" Amala yelled with an angry tone.

"I know. You have to trust me."

The black yak cavalry charged at the enemy. The soldiers were being trampled down and flew across the battlefield. Many were pierced by the horns of the black yaks and the grey skin warriors cut down the soldiers with their spears and glaives.
The heavily armored cavalry just ran through the enemy. Namri wielded a large glade and cut enemies in half with just single swings.
"Hahahaha. Doesn't matter if those humans flee. All the glory will be ours right my riders!?" Namri yelled and his soldiers responded with a loud roar.
The enemy was running away trying to get away from the charging black yaks. The grey skins ran through the enemy like a large stone boulder against blades of grass. Some even tried to stop them, but stopping a charging black yak alone was like trying to stop a rolling tree log with a wheat straw.
Namri's eyes shined bright with enthusiasm during the battle. He was happy that he finally had the chance to prove himself. He had never gone raiding before or warred against other grey skins. He was part of the young generation eager to prove themselves along with many of his compatriots.
The shine in his eyes soon dimmed when he saw the human soldiers organizing into a strong line of spears. The soldiers formed a zigzag line specially designed for countering cavalry charges including even the vicious black yak charge.
Instead of humans scattered here and there, they formed a tightly formed line of men with spears all pointed at the charging cavalry.
The black yak cavalry charged the heavy line. It looked like a hammer hitting an anvil with full force.
At first, it looked like the black yak cavalry was able to push through, but slowly the momentum was dying out. The black yak cavalry was being stopped and when one black yak stopped in the front the one at the back had to also stop causing a domino effect.

Nobles with divine power started to unleash their divinity and were aiming at the riders of the grey skins. One even jumped on top of a black yak with a sword inflame and cut the grey skin down.
Namri looked around. The humans were then able to start circling them not allowing them to escape anywhere. The larger size of the enemy enabled them to circle them in a crescent moon shape and the only way to escape was back, but the black yaks were slow in turning around.
The humans started to kill the riders and the beasts alike. They started to pull the riders out of their steeds with ease who were at a disadvantage since they couldn't move much on top of their steeds.
"Leader Namri what do we do!" yelled one young grey skin.
"Namri we need orders!" yelled another young grey skin.
The grey skin cavalry started to panic. They were being slowly cut apart. The soldiers dragged the grey skins off their beasts and slew them on the ground or they simply killed the black yak with their riders.

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.

The White Room
A group of gamers are hired as guinea pigs to test a new VR system. None of them know what exactly to expect. Is the new system bing tested, or is it them? Are they just there for games, or is there a greater game being played? My first attempt at writing LitRPG. I I'm learning as I go and therefore will probably stumble over numerous cliches of the genre and writing in general. Definitely a work in progress.
