6:03 AM
*Yawn* Ah, waking up, the least best thing I do every morning. After getting refreshed, I eat my favorite breakfast; Bacon and toast with some lobsters coated in butter, obviously cooked by our best chefs. After eating, I walk around the mansion and head towards the lounge. There I find all my favorite consoles like the latest Xbox and Playstation, I also have some nintendo products. I noticed the time so I pick up my bearings and go to my limo. I enter and start to converse with my chauffer, it was 20 minutes to my school which was obviously the elite of the elite. It was Luankndo Academy, don't worry, I dont know how to pronounce it either. But where are my manners, I still haven't told you my name and personal info that makes me better than you, be honored you get to know me.
My name is Jay W. Blu, named after the elegant and beautiful Blue Jay. I am 18 yrs old in the twelfth grade, with straight A's and a perfect attendance record. As you obviously know, I am rich and pampered, not to mention smart and handsome. My parents are owners of a famous company known for producing blockbuster movies of all languages. Not to metion that they also produce innovating technology that make my life easier and more lazier. I am the only child so I get to own the company after my parents death. Although I haven't told you enough, I am a prodigy at everything I do; from solving 19-digit equations to making glass figurines, to building a small replica of the great wall of China. I am the greatest of the great if I haven't emphasized it enough.
7:41 am
Class starts in 4 minutes so I walk up to my seat, and ensconce myslef down, or as you people call it, sitting down. As I was unpacking my things a pecuiliar girl waltz up to me and sits down in the empty seat next to me.

"Good morning Jay!"
"Morning."
"So how has your day been so far?" she says. This girl name is Ani May, and yes her name does sound like anime. She is a girl that is part of my harem of 3 girls, she is the happy go lucky loli-type who always tries her best to seduce me with her petite body. She has blond hair in a twin horns style, and she is 4'8. Though it never works, she tries her best and is clingy. Then the next girl of my harem appears, the childhood friend with the big bust and pink hair.
"Hello Jay."
"Hey Steph."
"Hello Ani." she says scornfully.
"Hello Fuse." she retorts. Their conversation says it all, and if you dont see it then I will just have to point it out for you. Their relationship is oil and water, life and death, pure hate. Stephanie Dynamo, the childhood friend who despite claiming that I am like a brother to her, actually loves me. She has pink hair that curls down past her elbows. Her fellings started to sprout after I saved her as a 6 year old, and has been growing ever since, especially in other areas.
"Hello." a voice whispers behind my ear. I jumped a bit but was able to respond.
"Hi Olivia". Now enters the third girl of my harem, the transfer student, who despite only moving here 3 days ago, has fallen in love with me. She has straight black hair, tired eyes, and the cliché shy personality. An of course, a transfer student isn't complete without a mysterious past that has some sort of connection to me. Some how only 47 seconds have passed so they continued rambling on until class started.
11: 32 am

Lunch has started so I grab my lunch and go to the roof. I was eating my lunch as I usually do to escape from my harem. Although I love the attetion, I get tired of all thier bickering and deicde to eat lunch here most of the time. My lunch was caviar, lobster and some soup of unknown name. I may be a prodigy but this is a homemade soup my chef made, it was a secret recipe that he will never teach me. I grabbed my silver spoon but I accidentally held it in a weak grip causing it to fly out of my hand. Of course with my great reflexes I jump towards the spoon to grab it. I grab it of course because I am awesome, until I noticed that the ground below me is gone, and and all I see is the pavement 3 stories below me.
Then I dropped.

Fates Parallel (A Xianxia/Wuxia Inspired Cultivation Story)
Volume 1 of Fates Parallel is on Amazon's Kindle Unlimited! Check it out here! Also available on Audible! Volume 2 of Fates Parallel is on Amazon's Kindle Unlimited! Check it out here! Also available on Audible! After centuries of endless wars, the three greatest nations of the continent have come together in peace. As a symbol of their cooperation, they have worked together to establish the Grand Academy of Spiritual, Martial, and Arcane Arts, a place where the best and brightest of each nation can gather on neutral ground and share knowledge, techniques, and cultures. Can the peace truly last, or is the academy just another proxy for the constant conflicts the three nations face? None of that matters to Lee Jia, a homeless young girl who's biggest concern is surviving the winter. But when she accidentally stumbles into the academy in search of a new place to stay, her destiny is changed forever. Determined to carve out a new place for herself and make the most of her good fortune, Lee Jia dives head first into the world of magic and martial arts. Fates Parallel is my first serious attempt at writing a story, and a personal love letter to Eastern fantasy and xianxia stories. It's heavily inspired by East Asian culture, folklore, and mythology, with what is likely going to be a decidedly Western artistic license. I try to write every day, with a goal of about 45,000 words per month (~1500 per day). Chapter lengths are around 3000 words on average, releasing on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Cover art drawn by the incredibly talented Tsuu (TsurotArtistry).

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.

Hero:Generation
UPDATES WEEKLY The world of Hero: Generation diverges from our own in the 1970s on a night known as “The Aurora Event”. Beautiful and luminescent weather phenomena covered the planet, for ten short minutes every corner of the Earth was underneath a cascade of lights in the sky. It was days later before reports began to filter in, more than could be suppressed by Governments and Nations. The Alphas had arrived. A small percent of the global population began to exhibit otherworldly and super natural abilities, changing the course of humanity. The Vietnam Occupation ended over night, as each ruling nation took action to respond. In the coming years Alphas would begin to change the globe. Russia eventually became an Alpha nation ruled by a mysterious figure only known as Father Winter. America, Europe, and Australia become even larger superpowers as their Alpha populations exploded, in time a United Nations force known as The Guardians was established to police and document the Alpha emergence. The worlds foremost expert in Alpha studies, Dr. Pavel Laghari invented a system known as the Laghari Scale, that scored Alphas on a scale of 1 to 10 across a wide array of parameters ranging from relative physical abilities to other parameters. Now, in most civilized countries Alphas are required to be assessed the moment their powers manifest, or be in strict violation of local and international laws. In this Age of Heroes , The Guardians have designed a new Initiative to recruit younger Alphas and set them on a path to greatness. Every year teenage Alpha’s from all over the globe flock to secure locations to take part in the Guardians crucible. Many will enter, but few will earn the right to call themselves a Guardian.
