《Dream Theater》Chapter 42

The lights were low in the little warehouse. The dog barely stood on his four legs, every part of its body trembling. He tried to reach for his master hand, his balance shifted and he began sliding on the little table.
Pxan hit the tabled furious >
A little man with a long beard placed a hand on his shoulders > he pointed to a metal ring on the dog >

The man raised an eyebrow >
Pxan looked down > he paused >
The little man nodded.
While Pxan was going away the man continued to watch him. Pxan didn't know it but he gave that man a lot of information "that is a dangerous man." he had observed him for the past hours, how he moved his hands, what he said, the slight imperfection in his prosthetics and he realized that man would be dead in a few years maybe less, the prosthetics couldn't hold so much. Yet why keeping him alive if that was the case?
After a bit, every job was similar to every other job. The inquisition wasn't exempt from this rule. At least the daily variation of tasks ensures that he wasn't bored. One day you kill a gangster another you retrieve papers from an archive, one day you are an innocent librarian and the other a cold-blooded killer. He didn't know if he liked it.
Regardless of this, he had managed to locate a small archive far from the populated buildings. Which, if data was correct, several files were. Including his.
Entering the archive was really easy, one of the windows was broken and several empty cans lay on the ground. Someone had been here more than once. The whole place was falling apart, the walls were fulls of stains and black spots, the floor wasn't stable and the wood, if that was wood, was collapsing. And to top it all off there was a rat infestation.

8 7660The Core: The First Guest (Book 1 of 3)
Book two starts here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/46417/the-core-the-hive-daughter-book-2-of-3 --- Kevin was just a normal 10 year old kid until he saw a woman vanish right before his eyes. This made Kevin just a little bit different. He paid more attention to people now. Little did he know that this little difference would kill him the next time he encountered another alien about to return home. It would tear him apart, cell by cell, until he was unmade. His mind being transported away. So distantly far away there is a race that advanced to the point where they built dyson spheres to house their civilizations. In their continual expansion, they seeded galaxies with pods and connection satellites. Over time they upgraded their dyson spheres into matryoshka brain Cores. Imagine a computer powered by a star. Citizens of Cores no longer age once they upload their minds into the virtual living system of the Core. While they didn’t age, most still choose to cycle through life and death though at a different scale of time compared to our lives. Citizens can visit other planets and live there as if they were on a "vacation". Mercury is Earth’s hub connected to the closest Core and Earth is a remote vacation spot for wealthy citizens. When the main character was 10 he witnessed a citizen returning to the Core. The story continues 10 odd years later when he again witnesses a similar situation unfolding and manages to touch the person returning to the Core. This causes him to be swept up in the transfer as well and for his mind to join as a "Guest" user of the Core. As a Guest he has limited powers, a starting balance of zero cr or Citizen credits, and no idea how he can get home. He is the first human to ever become a Guest of a Core. Where money itself is the highest form of their science. --- Progress update: Progress update: COMPLETE Stories:✦The Core: The First Guest (The Core: Book 1 of 3) ✦The Core: The Hive Daughter (The Core: Book 2 of 3) The Core: The Hive Daughter (Book 2 of 3) | Royal Road Stories in PROGRESS:✦The Core: The Dark Enemy (The Core: Book 3 of 3)PROJECTED Stories and Series: ★The Radiative Zone Series: The Girl with Powers (3 book series) ✶The Convective Zone Series: Into the Game (3 book series) This series is a work in progress.
