I'm meeting them today. I fear today might be my last day alive. Last night I went for a walk and to get food. I felt like I wasn't being watched for once. But while walking near an intersection, a car came barreling through at 60 mph or something. It t-boned a car and the car skidded in my direction. I managed to get out of the way but the car was totaled. The woman inside was unconscious, and I ran out to get her. The entire front of the car was smashed in from the impact with the wall to my right. I needed to get her out of that metal death trap. I managed to get her out the passenger side and laid her on the ground. She had a piece of metal in her thigh that protruded out around 3 inches. I had no idea how deep it was, and I'm not a medical professional. But I know your not supposed to remove it. But it was gushing blood so I undid my belt and made a makeshift tourniquet. I managed to slow the bleeding. Reality started to snap back in place in my head as I heard a siren in the distance. I surveyed my surroundings and saw most people just stood and watched from the other side of the street. I saw the guy who hit her being pulled out of a window by two other guys, his car about 2/3rds the length it used to be. Two ambulances came flying, one came to the guy across the street and the other to me. The paramedic asked me to say what happened as he checked her over. I told him everything and asked if she would be fine. He told me she was, and thanks to my belt and me leaving the object in her leg. Who would have thought that my first aid badge in boy scouts would be useful for me 20 years later. He asked if I wanted my belt back and I said no. As I was starting to walk away the cops came up and asked if I could make a statement. I'm not the biggest fan of cops but I agreed. He turned around and brought me to the car to get the paperwork. I told him what had happened, and he set the pen and paper in the car, saying “we're done here”. He said that in a serious tone, and I bagan walking away. “Hey” he said. I turned around and he continued “I heard you saved that woman's life”. “I don't think I saved her, just gave her enough time for the paramedics.” and I began walking away. But the cop continued “I see, it seems you did the opposite to the other guy. The one that flew off the mountain pass on mt. charleston a few days ago. Perfect place to go off as well, must have been over a 1000 foot plunge”. My blood vacated my face, leaving only a liquid colder than liquid nitrogen. “Excuse me?” I hesitantly responded in a shaky tone. “Nothing, you saved one life, and ended another. I think god would call that even. Don't you think so?” His voice is getting more and more cheerful with each passing syllable. Like a hunter who's trapped its prey. “I can’t really say, god hasn’t spoken to me yet. I- I’ll tell you when he does.” I said, the words slipping through my frozen lips. He begins to laugh a little. “Well you soon will get your answer, whether it was even or not. But who am I to make that decision” the cop slipped out the words through his low hanging laughter. He took a few steps toward his car and he looked back at me. In the same low voice from earlier he told me “Good luck with your meeting tomorrow”. He got in, closed the door and drove away. I stood there frozen, before returning to my hotel room in fear. They own the police. Or at least have them in their back pocket. I go tomorrow to meet them. I don’t know what's gonna happen. If I dont reply, or send another message, assume I'm dead.

Humanity is dying, hunted to extinction by creatures of legend. One boy was born to save them all. That boy just got knifed in the back. He looked a bit too much like Aaron, you see. Now it’s Aaron’s job to step up, lest his Death correct that little mix-up. But Aaron’s skills as a street rat run more towards stealing and stabbing than towards saving. And the more he learns of what brought dear dead Markus to that fatal alleyway, the more he has to wonder just what the world’s savior was really up to the night the wrong boy died.

The story of how a Cultivation Universe was Conquered by an Interstellar Weapons Platform
What do you get when you cross a world of Magic, Cultivation and Legends with one of Science, Logic and Overwhelming Firepower?\o\ Chaos! /o/Alpha is a sapient AI who's job (and Passion) is the exploration, exploitation and eventual colonization of new worlds for the Federation, a Galaxy spanning empire of Science and Technology. When an unexpected accident deposits this literal War Machine on a planet full of Cultivators and Wizards, chaos and insanity ensues. What Alpha and those around him don't know, however, is that he will soon become the focal point of a millennias long plot that holds not only the fate of the world in its balance, but possibly the entire Galaxy.Ancient Enemies awaken as the Powerhouses of the world converge with Alpha at the center. Get ready, its going to be a wild ride. ------------------------------------------------------- |_+) Come, Read the Story. Watch Worlds be Conquered. (ALL HAIL YOUR NEW ROBOT OVERLORDS!) See Arrogant Young Masters be slapped in the face (by a 170mm Rail-slug traveling Mach 3). Find Grand, Valuable Treasure (which gets put into storage, because what use does an AI have with pill herbs?) Explore Strange and wonderful lands (that will be shortly stripped mined and exploited for all usable resources) |_+) JOIN US!______________________________________ ALPHA-555-12-4412 (Designation: Star Conquer).One of the 5 most powerful and advanced AI-driven Interstellar Weapon Platforms ever built, was programmed with a very simple mission. Travel the stars.Seek out new and hospitable Alien Worlds.Establish a Forward based for their Master's eventual colonization.And, If necessary, crush any and all native resistance it might find. It was a Mission that Alpha took seriously and dedicated its entire being to.However, when Alpha flies a liiiiitle to close to a Blackhole and gets sucked in, it is thrown into a situation that no amount of programming could prepare it for. Now stranded on an alien, yet familiar world, full of dangerous beasts and strange phenomenon its database has no record or explanation for, Alpha must find a way to not only survive, but thrive.And eventually to do what he was built to do. Conquer._____________________________________________________Some things to expect from this Story 1): MC is an AI programmed with a very specific goal. Thus don't expect him to think or act like a human might. That being said, he/it is not bloodthirsty and evil either. He is specifically programed to work with, and indoctrinate Native species when possible. He is not a demon lord come to end the world as they know it, but a Conqueror come to subjugate. 2): MC won't be getting some kind of Humanoid form or suddenly start trying to think like a Human. Although an AI, he is perfectly Sapient, and fully understands both what he is and what is mission is. He is capable of adapting and changing his thought process, but at the end of the day, the Mission is what matters to him. He doesn't see the need or even WANTS to be Human. The only exception to this might be Humanoid body doubles or puppets used in places his main body isn't able to go. 3): This story is a mix of both Sci-Fi and Cultivation novels. MC with NOT be able to Cultivate themselves (for obvious reasons), but using his technology and knowledge, will be able to adapt and repurpose the strange and exotic resources you might find in a Cultivation World to increase his power and keep up with the powerhouses of this Universe. 4): The Intention of this story is to alternate between it and Parasite King, so I don't get burned out writing either one. As such, updates, while not slow, won't be to quick. Bare with me for awhile till the wheels get rolling.
