《MCU inhumain Izel l'eternel》chapter 12 : The cultural journey
Advertisement
When I arrived on earth I headed for my house because I had to make a stop before starting. My base had changed very little, the only part that has changed are the bushes that surrounded my cabin, which had grown in size for two years. I came back here to cover up the entrance to the Kree facility as I didn't want to leave it unattended, this is too much of a step forward for human civilization.
So I reactivated the alarms I put the installation in total lock, but before that I put all my personal effects of the house in a secure room with the vessel which will not be useful to me but I put the automatic piloting in relation to my tablet so that I can bring it towards me if necessary.
After all that I camouflaged the entrance with a big block of stone and by planting trees around I obviously took down my house because I don't need it anymore, I won't be coming back here for a while I think.
The trip I wanted was a very long trip to discover other cultures far from mine, I only have eighteen cycles I think I have plenty of time to explore at least forty cycles normally. Retrieving a canoe was quite easy because I could trade it with a neighboring village thanks to the hunt I had during the day. I started my navigation, I wanted to go north-west because I had spotted an island not very far which could be interesting but above all close enough to make a stopover. I had to walk along the coast all over my island so that I could rest when I was too tired.
During my trip along the coast I couldn't find too many interesting things in my island, they are things that I already knew, same island same culture.

I slept for an hour every five hours, I hooked my boat to a rock and I slept in it. Sleeping on dry land could be dangerous with the tribes who are not necessarily friendly or dangerous animals, we alternate with cuau to sleep so that we can monitor.
She's been very good at catching fish or hunting small prey, she seemed to be happy in the wild for a few weeks. With a wingspan of 2.95 meters she could now catch very large fish. When she is in the air she can show me directions to nearby land or places that might interest me, she directs me to prey very often her allows me to hunt much better.
When I am in my canoe I allow myself to absorb the atmospheric energy and infuse it into my cells even if the infusion takes a long time, during navigation I get bored a lot I always see the same thing.
After a few weeks of navigation I arrived on a new island which seemed to me slightly different from mine, I went into the forest to stretch my legs by hunting with my bow to keep my technique at the same level. Because of my improving vision I don't think I could be bad even though my eye hand coordination is not very developed yet.
Six month time jump ============================================
It's been six months since I started my journey, the days that look a lot like these six months, hunting; practice and navigation a lot of navigation even. I haven't seen a lot of uninteresting stuff, I've seen strange animals and very poisonous bugs I got bitten once by some kind of eight-legged insect I was in the vape for two to three days. Thanks to its I have gained a slight resistance my infused cells we undergo a micro modification which has allowed these cells to better resist this fish or a little less powerful fish. When a month later I was bitten by another insect the bite was much less painful and I recovered from it in much less time.

Apart from that not much new, Cuau is doing very well this morning she has just made me understand that a town is a few kilometers away on the coast I am currently in my canoe, it has just landed in front of me while rubbing it head with mine lovingly.
I'm going to head to this town, I might find some interesting things. He continued to sail the way to get closer to the human settlement, the sea was rather calm. Izel has not yet known too rough seas since the beginning of his voyage, when he was close to the shore he got out of his boat to make it approach by pulling it towards the edge.
In the distance an armed man approached him, pointing him with his spear, izel prepared for this defense. The Inhabitant in front of him tried to communicate but he could not understand, his chip took about ten seconds to analyze the language of this stranger. The person asked if he had come for peaceful reasons, of course izel replied that he had come to trade and meet a new culture.
When the young man guided her to the village chief so that he could explain himself to the wisest of their group, the priest who was to meet him was named Olmeca. A very intelligent priest, isel told him his goal and a bit of his story of course he didn't tell the part about the kree and all this part of the story he told all the rest of his life, his father, but also are travel.
The man was enthusiastic about all these new things he never knew from anyone that came from so far, he told him the story of his people; his culture but also the agriculture that he does like a tree that produces a strange material with which he makes shoe soles.
Pov izel =================================================
I loved this meeting I stayed a month in this tribes, I learned their culture but also to heal thanks to certain plants. The priest taught me a lot of things, he did not follow evil gods but a sun god and a harvest goddess. They also taught me how to cultivate, select the seeds that are more viable, or how to build tools. This tribe was very impressed with cuau and our bond, they had never seen a raptor of this size and beauty.
I left after a month, I stocked up on their culture to eat on the boat. The sea was much more agitated when I left I followed the coast to continue my journey, during my trip I saw very beautiful scenery I began to see new type of forest and very different fauna, the people I met in this part of the world were different more colorful than the people of Olmeca. He spoke another very different language and had different customs he believed in spirits rather than gods.

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.

Interface
Welcome to the World-City of Thousel, the sixth iteration of life on the planet. These are the recordings of the people of Thousel. Thousel is believed to be the second longest iteration of life, and the overall most prosperous compared to what we know about the past five iterations. Medicine and technology have all progressed abundantly, and the world itself has been turned into one great city, governed and managed by the Governmental-Company Alliance, or the GCA.These particular recordings concern the discovery of a peculiar machine. When two very different people find themselves bound by the fate of one mysterious bot, life in the World-City begins to change… Interface is a cyberpunk webnovel set in an ecumenopolis world where people evolved with electro-sensory abilities. These senses shape the face of modern technology and life in a world where the three largest corporations run what has effectively become the government. Each of these three companies control various aspects of life in the city, and they all constantly vie for domain and power over one another.The world stands at the precipice of biological, technological, and historical breakthrough. After decades of study into microbiology, archaeology, and geology, it has been discovered that sentient life has lived on the planet multiple times over. These past peoples are referred to as the “prior iterations of life,” and it is believed that five great civilizations were constructed before the rise of the modern world. No one can be sure for certain what caused these peoples’ extinction long ago, and the theories range from simply dying off over time to massive tectonic fractures in the face of the planet. Advanced technology, far more complicated than anything the people possess today, has been uncovered in multiple locations. This has lead scholars to speculate on exactly how long each iteration of life survived and how far they progressed as a society. None of the companies have been able to find a way to make this ancient technology work for their own profit. It is as though they are each missing the final key needed to unlock these centuries old secrets. What could this knowledge reveal about the nature of life across every iteration? What power could it give to the one who wields it?Far from the investigation into the origin of life, two kids unlock a new mystery – one that ties their fates to the discovery of an old, mysterious robot. Suddenly, eyes begin to turn towards them as life in the city of Thousel changes wherever they go…
