Chapter 4
AN: well since you all voted literally on a boss fight I will give you one…
Also found a pick of what the cave looks like: 
also will take this down and post full length later today, just need to get some crucial stuff done for once as an IT guy... i hate IT...
Unlike the previous floor there appear to be automations moving down here, which is cool, excluding the fact that their hostile…. Fun… sigh, well I did need practice with the mana sword and crossbow. Most appear to be mindless drones, I said most because I haven’t seen all of them. The drones look like 4 legged spiders, albeit that they are half a meter tall and half a meter wide.
They are surprisingly nimble, most spring up and try to latch onto my face tike those things in the Alien movies… but when one of the face huggers missed me due to my amazing skills and proceeded to landed on a dead clockwork’s face… the thing used its legs to crush it’s head…
After that I fled back home to the little settlement at the front of the gate to this citadel, as Tool discovered the name of the structure it was a citadel for the hubs with a name that is hard for me to pronounce, but it sounds like Ima-cut-you-up. So when I got there I requested Tool to beef up my defenses a bit… it was just simply adding some plates here and there. Oh, I helped Tool make something, but it was more like I had an idea and Tool made it happen and with a little help from my coding skills we finished it.
So we made it so that I could detach a limb in case it was damaged beyond repair through a thought and I would need to find the corresponding limb lost and each detach point had an autonomous tool gear that when I held up the limb would connect it to my body, I would just need to hold it there for 30 seconds… that was the fastest I could get the autonomous program to go. BUT, there is some good news, Bolt finished a mini-hub so that’s good… we found a total of 35 motherboards but bolt used up 30 so we were left with 5 motherboards.

I also added a targeting system to my HUD and another program to calculate the trajectory of things in my vision. Just going say that it is a very rough program and has a 1 in 10 chance of an error.
So back to dungeon diving… It took me close to an hour to get down to the last floor, mainly because I had to get used to the new weight of my body. When I got there I was immediately greeted with a face hugger which I magnificently shot with the mana crossbow. As I continued on I kept killing the face huggers, and as I did so I had an idea… WHAT IF IT WAS BIGGER AND HAD A TURRET ONTOP!!!! That would be soooooo cool! In my delusional state I unknowingly entered the boss room… how I knew this was because of the giant construct in front of me (
but more steampunk-y). Thankfully it hadn’t noticed me… sometimes I am glad I am mute… because I am pretty sure I would be screaming like a little girl right now…
HAH you dun fucked up!!!
Oh, you’re back… great... I HAD SOOOOOO MUCH PROGRESSS BUT NOOOOOO YOU JUST HAD TO SHOW BACK UP… ignoring the windows of annoyance via blocking of the popups, my eyes were drawn to a massive fixture on the wall behind it.. 
. (fuckn try writing in paint with a mouse pad... it took me eight tries to write that shit)
While I am mentally freaking out let’s go over a new feature Bolt added to all of us, now we have a connector cord which we can hook up to things directly, also the main contributor that allows me to program stuff. It is located where the right ear would be and is protected via a sliding panel.

Anyways the thing seems to have notices me thus, it started turning towards me albeit slowly because it doesn’t seem to have a horizontal rotatory thing at the waist… thank goodness… alright time to cheese the fuck out of this thing… CIRCLE STRAFING FTW!!! After a few minutes of circle strafing and firing mana bolts at it, it did something I didn’t expect… it jumped… on me… when it landed it had me pinned down by my left arm, the arm I had the crossbow in…
My left arm was now the equivalent of my legs when i first appeared in this world...

Silhouette
WARNING: THIS STORY HAS A SLOW START. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. We all grew up hearing stories about heroes and villains, but what would we do if we were to be part of one? One night, a bioweapon escaped from its laboratory in Zalcien, only to die in a dark alley. One night, a young man lent a helping hand, only to die alone in the dark. One night, a deity of death saw two lost souls and offered one a second chance in the other's body. Now a strange creature made of darkness, James has to deal with his new form in a strange new world where superpowers, heroes and villains are commonplace, far away from his home. Watch as he learns how to use his powers, as he meets allies and enemies and how, when facing the paths of heroism and villainy, he chooses a third way somewhere in between. Follow the story of James, a lost Earthling soul, as he becomes Silhouette, the mysterious power in the shadows. Greetings fellow humans. This is my first story on Royal Road and my first long-term project written in English, so I do hope you will have some mercy in your heart when reading. So, as you may have understood, this is a story with super-heroes - which is quite ironic for my first story considering all of the other ones planned are fantasy - and as such will take place in a modern-like setting. Despite dark themes and gory scenes making their way into the story, it is still a super-hero world with the logic that matches, so expect characters to survive nuclear explosions without a scratch and yet to get defeated by a rubber ducky - as well as similar dark humor, thus the comedy part.

The Samsara Dirge: Adventures in Post-Apocalyptic Broadcasting
It was not the apocalypse anyone expected. They called it the Changes. (Which might sound boring, though it was no such thing!) During this time, reality itself was suspended. Anything could happen, and often did. Who could have anticipated flying turtles, lighter than air futons, the appearance of the color slurkle, or the eradication of differential calculus? After a year and a half of such wonders, it all stopped. The world was not the same, nor the people in it. Why had it happened and how did it end? Would it return? No one knew. Silverio Moreno, irrepressibly optimistic host of one of the most popular post-apocalyptic gameshows, wants answers. And the truth might just bring in his highest ratings yet!
