《Starship Nyx》Chapter 14: Enemies and friends
Advertisement
We traveled in eight hundred light-years from the Solar System. The radar officer called after me.
"There is an alien and little starship, ma'am!" the radar officer said.
"Yellow alarm! How little is she?" I said.
"They fire!"
"Shield! Red alarm! Fire on will!"
We fired back. The alien starship became successfully hit twice without a shield. We managed to capture her with an electrical snare. I didn't know if the captain was a fool. Malin ran away. I wanted her to lead our attack crew.
The communications officer said that we got a video call. I nodded slowly. It showed instantly that it was a male red-skinned humanoid with three yellow eyes. He wore a rugged uniform, so he had to be responsible of the ship. His crew member beat the male nude slave. I became very angry.
"Sorry, we tested to fire," the humanoid said.
"Sorry, we tested to fire? What a weak excuse we have heard about! Come on!" I said.
"What have we done now?"
"You fired us without a reason and one of your crew members beat poor thing before us!"
Another male nude slave jumped forward the camera. Somebody shut off. I asked about the screen and the communications officer said that the idiot ordered the crew member to shut off. The captain didn't seem to understand that we would take over the alien starship soon. He was both irresponsible and immature. I never liked the idiotic captain.
The communications officer said later that we got a video call again. I shook my head slowly. That slave seemed to be nice. We would save him. I hated the fucking slavery. We waited for Malin.
Malin reported that she managed to take over the alien bridge. I asked her if she didn't see a nude man. She said no. Somebody had to have hid the nude man. I ordered Malin to ask if they hid him and she did it obediently. She apologized for her delay, but she reported about the happening.
The captain would pull some weapon from the box. Malin hit speedily the box. The bridge team realized that we had the power. They convinced their captain that they couldn't fight against the foes and they gave up! The slave stood up fast from his master, not the captain. Malin and her team looked at them.
We found the alien slaves in the prison. They didn't have any clothes. Their face was broken and their body was anemic. We gave the clothes to them. They became very happy to be free. We asked the slaves about their species.
The slaves only knew that their species called for vepoiws. They didn't know something about their species. We asked about their political system. They never heard either about their politics before. The captain knew possibly about their political system. One of the slaves told that he happened to heard something about the crown princess.
We investigated the alien starship. The vepoiws had just any weapons, not a laboratory. Hana and her team made an autopsy of the dead vepoiw. The evil vepoiws were in our prison. Malin looked into the main cabin. There were just mass tortured arts of the vepoiws.

Sophia and Malin would interrogate the captain. They would play good cop/bad cop. Andrew, Ava, Hana and me were at the other side of the interrogation room. There was a one-way mirror. The captain was nude and sat in the chair. I never wanted to meet the idiotic captain more.
It was showtime. Sophia opened the door. She was the good cop. The captain didn't seem to know about good cop/bad cop.
"I am Majoor Sophia Verbeke of United Earth Engineering Troops. What is your name?" Sophia asked.
The captain didn't answer. Sophia went to him.
"Come on! Say your name," Sophia said.
"My name is Zoi'un!" the captain answered.
"Nice name, Zoi'un!"
Sophia showed the picture of the art. Zoi'un rolled his eyes.
"No answers, Zoi'un? Or you enjoyed of torturing men, didn't?" Sophia asked.
Zoi'un didn't answer either. Malin opened aggressively the door, so he began to look worried. It was time that he would sing out.
"Okay, we need to know about your political system and your home planet, Zoi'un," Sophia said.
Zoi'un still didn't answer. Malin went to him and then she sat down on the deck. He became very distressed. The explosives engineer picked a syringe from her bag. It contained a black liquid. Zoi'un's testicles were monstrously big!
"I am Lieutenant Commander Malin Lind of Star Fleet. Tell about your political system and your home planet now!" Malin said.
"Can you stop her?" Zoi'un asked to Sophia.
"No, she decide here, Zoi'un. We have the same rank from different armed forces," Sophia said.
We trusted in Malin and Sophia. Sophia began to flirt with Zoi'un, so they looked at each other. He smiled.
"Nice try! I am asexual, so I don't trust in you women and men. Where are the men?" Zoi'un asked.
"But your third eye makes only the men so horny. My captain's best friend is a neurosurgeon and her colleague is an ophthalmic surgeon because they researched the body, Zoi'un," Malin said.
"You are a hag! My father will violate you women."
"Oh, I become afraid. Not."
"Not me either. Tell about your political system and your home planet now!" Sophia said.
Zoi'un didn't answer. Malin injected his testicle. He yelled.
"Tell about your political system and your home planet, or I will inject your last testicle," Malin said.
"I will tell," Zoi'un cried.
The government called for Yoai Uma. It was a bandit dictatorship. We surmised that the idiots were pirates. The vepoiws came from a nameless alpine planet. Their climate was strictly cold. Malin and me liked frigidity.
"So you attacked us earlier, huh? How many light-years far is your system?" Malin asked.
"My father will kill you! You can't look for our system!" Zoi'un said.
"I will inject your testicle. Answer!"
Malin showed the syringe.
"Are we in the same system?" Zoi'un asked.
"Yes," Malin said.
"Around one hundred light-years!"
"Good boy!"
I sent a message to the bridge. The bridge team got it. Malin injected the last testicle at once. The vepoiw yelled like a mad man. Sophia and Malin couldn't help but laugh. Zoi'un didn't understand what was funny.

"You didn't ask about the liquid. It is not hazardous, but it cleans the testicles," Sophia said.
"You tricked me!" Zoi'un said.
Malin thought about something. She smiled.
"Oh, right! Tell about your leader," Malin said.
"Go to Ado'qa!" Zoi'un said.
"Ado'qa? Oh, I understand what it means. It also means H-word on our home planet. But I have a kakologophobia. It means that I hate swearwords. Tell about your leader."
"Go to Ado'qa!"
"Bad boy! You don't have any choices."
"My father will kill you!"
Malin got an idea, slowly she picked a red revolver from her holster. Zoi'un never has seen the strange weapon before. Yes, it was big and new. It had a 12-round cylinder, thought it missed to have a hammer. Zoi'un laughed at Malin because the revolver was silly. She smiled big.
"Will we play Russian Roulette, Zoi'un?" Malin asked.
Zoi'un didn't understand what Malin meant to "Russian Roulette". She explained about the game. It was the first time to Zoi'un to become very surprised to hear about Russian Roulette. Malin removed eleven magnums.
"Will we play Russian Roulette, Zoi'un?" Malin asked again.
"My father will kill you! Go to Ado'qa!" Zoi'un said.
Malin rolled the cylinder, so she pointed against Zoi'un's right knee. He became shocked to see her. She triggered twice and it didn't happen. Zoi'un's face began to be wet.
"Why are you doing that?" Zoi'un wondered.
"Because I have the power over you. Tell about your leader now!" Malin said.
"Go to Ado'qa!"
Malin asked about the leader again and then Zoi'un said the same. She triggered slowly four times until he said quickly that the leader's name was Iyab Xi'yan. We began to become curious. Malin asked about Iyab. Zoi'un swore that he didn't know about his mighty and mysterious leader. However, he told that his father only knew.
Malin triggered every time, suddenly she hit the knee. Sophia and Malin laughed again. Zoi'un became surprised that it didn't hurt. He didn't understand what was funny.
"We believe in you. The magnum is a sleeping drug. I never would hurt you," Malin said.
"You tricked me again! I swear that my father will kill you!" Zoi'un said sleepily.
Zoi'un slept instantly. He messed with a wrong ship in a wrong system at a wrong time. We didn't feel sorry for him. I asked Hana about the third eye. She explained that Cunoa said that it could manipulate everything, not the persons.
We left the interrogation room. Hana warned the male guards about the third eye. The male guards became shocked to hear about the eye, but she also warned about the strength. I left them. The vepoiws were strange. I went to the bridge.
We traveled in eight hundred and fifty light-years from the Solar System. The radar officer called after me. I turned to him. He said that we had the different ship. The communications officer said abruptly that we got a video call. I nodded slowly.
It was another male vepoiw this time, but he also was different. He wore the traditional uniform. His uniform was like an African military uniform. He was very handsome!
"Dream by Al'anaw, I am Cepinoth Ja'riwi Oba'aw of Haba Qunoeo Fleet. We are not here to fight without looking for the idiotic bandit leader Iyab Xi'yan," the vepoiw said.
"Hello, I am Captain Mara Tan of United Earth Star Fleet. We have Zoi'un," I said.
"You are a woman. Zoi'un? How did you manage to capture him?"
I told about everything to Ja'riwi. He and his bridge team laughed.
"What an idiot! Did you also get him to say about Yoai Uma's place?" Ja'riwi asked hopefully.
"Why do you ask? Is it about the revenge?" I asked.
It became very quiet.
"No, we will save our crown princess from Yoai Uma. The idiotic 'government' plundered our planet. Our King is extremely powerless," Ja'riwi said.
"Yes, we got Yoai Uma's place. Can you tell about your political system and your home planet?" I asked.
The government called for Kingdom of Haba. It was an irenic kingdom. The vepoiws also came from another alpine planet and it named for Imojima. It was hard to find the bandits. I became angry to hear that they plundered the planet every weekend. The Kingdom of Haba fought against Yoai Uma in many years.
It sounded like vikings and mongols. I asked Ja'riwi about the reason. He didn't know, but it was strange about the king and Iyab. I asked him about the strangeness. He noticed that something was wrong of the king and Iyab because they irritated each other. It sounded like a feud.
Ja'riwi asked me about our political system and our home planet. I answered and then I asked about the women in service. The Kingdom of Haba was open for both women and men. Ja'riwi and the king hated the discrimination. I was happy to hear. We began to like each other.
Ja'riwi asked about our code. Yes, we gave our secret code to each other. Our code was Nyx and Ja'riwi's code was Olodawaia. I asked about Olodawaia. Ja'riwi told to me that she was a legendary heroine. It said that she protected Haba from the warriors.
I asked about the religion. Ja'riwi and his crew didn't know about the religion, but they didn't know either if the religion was ridiculous. They trusted in the modern science. I told to them about our human religion. Ja'riwi and his crew became surprised. I asked if we would leave.
We flew immediately to Yoai Uma. I wondered about the king and Iyab. Did they know each other? I thought that the king was strange. Why was he strange? I didn't know him.

Enigma's Multiverse: Rewrite
This novel was rewritten with the following goals in mind: -A 'human' MC, that struggles underneath the weight of his past emotions and slowly grows as a person as he deals with past trauma and regret. A relatable protagonist whose actions are in line with his motivations, who may be amiable or ruthless depending on the stakes presented. (Caucasian male protagonist, set in the modern world with alien 'induction' into the cultivation world.) - Competent antagonists that have their own goals and ambitions, instead of always targeting the MC for plot convenience. - An original cultivation system. - Interesting and well fleshed out enemy archetypes. - Hell mode challenge right off the bat. - Lots of action and fighting with psychological elements. - My vision of what a cultivation novel should be like. This is the rewrite of the original Enigma's Multiverse, the first version reads more like a skeleton or a first draft as it was my very first work and I've come a long way since then. A lot of things from the original will be tweaked/enhanced, so it might just end up as a completely different work. Cover Credits- Instagram @just_anime_art_things

Wretched Brood

At that time I didn’t know that I’d soon become the enemy of all humanoid races, a being that was despised and feared by all intelligent creatures. The calamity called “Scourge.”

The Dreamside Road
Five years after the world fell into chaos, a treasure of artifacts is up for grabs. The relics of the Dreamside Road offer a power that could help rebuild or annihilate what remains. Orson Gregory is an adventurer for hire, but hunts this treasure for answers, not glory. Enoa Cloud’s late aunt helped hide the Dreamside Road, but following in her aunt’s supernatural tradition offers her as much peril as power. Together, Orson and Enoa battle a magic-obsessed militia, clash with a host of rivals, and face constant adventure on their journey to find the Dreamside Road. *Updates Monday and Friday The Dreamside Road is now on TopWebFiction! Vote so people know this exists. _____________________________________ NOTE: The Progression tag applies specifically to Enoa. Also, fair warning, that element doesn't enter the story until she begins her studies. Content: Main characters range in age from teenagers to people in their thirties and older, but it will not contain gratuitous violence or explicit sexual content. It also won’t shy away from implication, anything to make this story and its world feel more real. Characters will freely allude to potentially triggering topics, including living with a disability, facing terminal illness, coping with trauma, surviving societal destabilization, and the consequences of bigotry. At its most intense, the Dreamside Road is a hard PG-13. Worldbuilding: This is not a story with a lot of early exposition scenes, conveniently explaining ‘magic systems’ and political dynamics. Readers will learn, progressively, as the characters do. This story/world has a ‘magic system’, or rather, a set of systems, but the effort to quantify and understand the truth of the setting plays a role in the backstory, as well as in some character motivations. In that same vein, not every character has a firm grasp on the nature of their world, and not every piece of dialog from every character should be taken as entirely truthful Worldbuilding. Also, this isn't the softest Sci-fi. There are at least some basic explanations given for various elements, but Royal Road does not give me a spectrum to choose from. Given the choice between hard and soft, let's just say The Dreamside Road won't be cited in any college Physics papers. Setting and Theme: The Dreamside Road walks the line between fantasy and science fiction and deals with finding one’s place in a changing world. Many of the characters in this story are United States natives and the story begins in the United States, my homeland. However, knowledge or interest in this country is not necessary to understand the story, especially as it progresses. Also, as this is a novel that deals with societal collapse and while that damage may be widespread, in story, I don’t want to overstep and critique the culture of others’ unless I have particular knowledge in a given area. Ultimately, the Dreamside Road is American in the same way Harry Potter is English, fantasies that do not have a full secondary world, but with enough original elements to fully diverge the setting from our the real world.
