《The hitman summoned as a hero》Chapter 10: The Darkness-old
Advertisement
Long-time later after our encounter, we went to find Melia and Cenrea and we find them walking on the streets. We were lucky this time, we found them quicker than expected. When we were together I, fast, introduced Cenrea and Melia to Rodelia, Fio, Bluenisa and Annie. With the introduction made we decided to leave the town. Our equipment wasn't bad for a long travel and they had their abilities to fight, also I could fight with my fists so I thought that we weren't going to have problems during our travel. We left the town behind and we started walking to reach the supposed darkness. I started questioning if that existed, I never saw. Anyway, in this world, all sort of things can happen.
After three days travelling, camping, eat what we found near and talking. They discovered that I have had sex with Melia and that Cenrea was close to be my wife. Also, Melia and Cenrea discovered that I have had sex with Bluenisa, Fio and Annie. First I didn't know but later I discovered it. Rodelia started acting mad and mean with me, Fio wasn't playing me, even more, she was staying away from me. Annie started calling me lecherous, idiot and other things. Bluenisa was ignoring me, Cenrea was always trying to kick me and Melia was telling me to suffer and die. I was in a bad situation. I didn't know how to resolve this problem until Melia told me: "You scumbag if you have told us the truth the first time nothing of this would have happened. You should die tortured" After she left me alone but I knew what I needed to do. I needed to spend the days with them and try to gain they trust and love. Perhaps it was going to be useless but at least it was better than keeping the silence and do nothing. After ten days travelling I finally succeeded to gather them and I made peace. To gather them I had sex with Fio and Bluenisa, I promised that I wasn't going to keep anymore secrets to Rodelia, I had a date with Cenrea and I let Melia and Annie play S&M with me, they told me that I needed to do it in order to make peace with them, from then I learnt one thing. To stay away from the S&M. The good part about all is that we made peace, even if they still had their doubts they were less mean and every thing came back to normal.

Perhaps to have some friends isn't that bad sometimes. We travelled during a month, fighting monsters, wild demi-humans, the undead and horrible tentacle monsters, we arrived at a huge kingdom and I discovered the meaning of darkness. A huge kingdom, covered by a dark sky and grey clouds, with many different houses, some seemed abandoned while from the other you could hear people screaming and see lights, and it had a big castle which guarded by skeletal dragons. The land was divided into different parts, like if the land has been broken by someone into different parts of ground. Some of them even were floating. The good thing is that the different grounds were united by bridges, some of steel and some of wood. Inside, the place had some dead trees and creepy old lamppost. Also some strange caverns, I have seen other caverns before but I never saw caverns with the entrance on a floating rock. This place was leaving me out of breath. We crossed the bridges, in direction to the castle, they were scared, I could see it looking at their eyes and their moves. I told them that they were going to be fine and that I was protecting them so nothing was going to happen, hearing that they calmed a bit but they were still scared. I was trembling too. Maybe it was fear, maybe it was the emotion of the moment or the place. All the things could be and nobody has ever reached this far. Monsters were around the place, living their lives normal, like if it was a normal city but what would happen they found a human among them. I wasn't staying there to find that. The good thing is that I and Rodelia were disguised with clothes that were covering us and thanks to the spells of Annie we could easily disguise our human energy from them. Also, we disguised our smell thanks to Fio.

When we reached the castle, we saw half-humans guarding the big doors of the castle. Cenrea told me that they were Dullahans. Knights without heads, they were good fighting, their skills could easily surpass a trained warrior and their intelligence was high. It was better to not attack them and avoid them. The problem is that we needed to enter in the castle. At least we needed to try. We approached to the castle and the two dullahans closed our path with their swords and asked us: "Who are you?" I was going to respond: "We are half-humans that want to talk with the angel" but Melia interrupted me and she answered: "We are here to see our highness, we have brought our saviour with us" "Then you shall pass" and the dullahans let us pass while opening the doors. Something fishy was going on.

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.

Veiled
Sixteen-year-old Desirae Cradle knows how to survive in the human world, but knowing and doing are two different things. Until her mother disappeared under questionable circumstances, Desirae lived as part of a magical community kept secret from humans for more than 4,000 years. But not all of Desirae's people live on Earth. Some live in the Otherworld, exiled there after an ancient war. They are known as the Faye and still seek a way back to Earth. With feelings of abandonment, and no other family among her kind, Desirae makes her way in the human world using the only skill she has-knowing how to cross between Earth and Otherworld. But when a crossing goes bad, Desirae has to do something she swore she never would - go back home. Determined to not only fix her mistake but to mend old friendships, Desirae returns to the community she abandoned. But the Faye are after more than she thought. With lingering questions about what really happened to her mother and the discovery that her friends have changed even more than she has, Desirae finds that stopping the Faye and regaining her friend's trust might not be as easy as she hoped. This is a completed work, approx 75,000 words. I’m just editing chapter by chapter and posting as I finish them.

My eyes traced the movement of his pen, following each line he drew onto the paper. "Your tea." I snapped out of my trance and looked up, thanking Katy before she went back to the counter. I turned back and caught him looking at me. I expected him to look away and continue acting like I don't exist. Like he's always done and so have I.What I didn't expect was for him to walk right over and sit with me."Hi, I'm Carter."PSA: This story is inspired by the Wattpad novel 'Caffeine' by @meddlingkids ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
