《Agalma》chapter 6
Advertisement
At first the room was deadly silent , but afterword's laughter erupted through out the room. Gwendolyn was the first to cave following the Guards then even the princess herself. She made the motion of wiping her non existence tears of joy from her face and simply said "no".
I had a feeling something like this was impossible but i was prepared for that .I just closed my eyes again and waited for the end ,i was tired and bruised at this point with my hope being crushed i just didn't have it in me to continue being their plaything. Memories of my family flashed through my head and it turned into a mix of sadness and anger but most of all helplessness. I cursed the world for things happening the way things did.
"Why?" I heard a mans voice say
The laughing stopped. I guess everything i went through started making me delirious to the point where i just started hearing voices. Regardless this time i choose to answer
" don't you want to understand each other? I don't understand how even non-organic life still desires to destroy, if you can experience emotion then can you experience love?
"What do you mean" the voice said sounding uncertain
"What do you mean" i said mockingly
"DOES ANY OF THIS MAKE SENSE TO YOU? i shouted
"if anything this only make sense if you were created by organic life"
I probably shouldn't have said that because all of the bots seemed about to end me, i could feel the anger in the room rom all but one android. This one was undoubtedly male but about a head shorter then The princess but still taller then Gwendolyn .Also he only had one eye He must have entered the room one of the times i closed my eyes or maybe i just never noticed him. He began walking towards me from the guarded doors.

The Guard on the left said "prince please don't listen to the last words of this idiotic ape"
Much to her dismay he ignored her and continued in stride
"explain... please" said the male bot
This was the first time i heard one of these bots be even slightly considerate, this really just proves me point at least i think.
"how are we different" i asked
"Would you say our outer appearance is enough to differentiate a difference of being?" i asked again
"what... do you mean?" he seemed intrigued and i think i could use that to my advantage.
"i can tell you more but you have to grant my wish"
"As if" Gwendolyn said from the back
He stopped for a second and looked directly and Gwendolyn then me .His eye felt different somehow and maybe this was my imagination and it would surprise me. But when he looked at me it wasn't the same loathing look that everyone of their kind has been giving me, like i was less than.
"Your wish of joining us... what exactly would you do once you joined us"
This time the princess seemed to speak out "Remiel you cant actually be fucking serious , there's no way ill allow this. It would be a tarnish to our family name, Do you know what the others would say!"
Ignoring her he said " well? "
I didn't think i would get this far so i guess it was time to see where my beliefs would take me, straight to hell probably but i was being provided a opportunity and i would let i slip from my grasp.
"I would watch, think, observe... just from a human perspective"
Saying that out loud sounded terribly useless, I'm going to die i thought.
"Very well" said remiel "Gwendolyn since you seem to know each other you're assigned with guarding him to your upmost ability, you follow his orders from now on"

"no no no no no this cant be happening " said Gwendolyn
"For once i agree, what is the point of this... It must be because of the beast female slave you captured those years ago, i knew i should've killed her rather then allowed you to have a pet"
He didn't seem to take those words very lightly retorting " That's why the queen put me in charge and you in second in command, you have no foresight"
"UGHH" she screamed in frustration storming out of the room
"don't make me regret this" he said looking directly at me, then turning to Gwendolyn " you better follow his orders i don't care what he makes you do, understand "
It seemed like she knew better then to talk back "Roger" was all she said never really looking at him
"That's right" Then he looked at the guards and said "make sure everyone knows that this human is protected under the crown prince, come with me lets give Gwendolyn and what's your name?"
"Farron" i replied
"Lets allow Gwendolyn and Farron to get used to each other" he said smirking taking the two guards away from the room

A Sinner's Eden
The Earth of the future is united under a single government, but not all things are well. The shape of the playing field may be changed, but the powerful still rule the weak.And those who do not conform with the rest of society are exiled to another world. A world that not even the technology of the future managed to tame.It should have been humanity's New World but ended up as nothing more than a penal colony. A place where the exiled are sent to die. Motivated by revenge, Magnus sets out on a quest to bring his own justice to his enemies. For that purpose, he is willing to go further than most others.But then he learns that if he truly wishes to change things, he can only find his answers beyond the gate. Having lived most of her life as an exile, Astra is a woman of few interests aside from survival and climbing the ranks of her clan.To achieve those goals, she certainly won't be squeamish when a chance literally falls into her lap, or will she? ——————————————————————————————— I am trying to go with a survival/medieval setting in this one. People from a technologically advanced society are thrown into a world where they can't maintain their tech. They are forced to rely on medieval technology where they have to make do with the limited resources they have and what little of their old technology is still working. Their gene manipulation allows them to have something akin to superpowers, but that doesn't help much against the monsters of their new world. Not sure yet whether sufficiently advanced technology will be discovered later on to count as magic. ——————————————————————————————— Author's Comment: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently, I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur)

Theory of Rifts (LitRPG)
You can join my Discord here. Keynes Kid is gifted with a photographic memory and being several months away from receiving Level 1, and a Talent, he finds himself in the center of attention of people who want to shape his Talent. If they can get him an intelligence related Talent, they will hit a jackpot. The Talent Unlocking ceremony finally comes and Keynes Kid receives… Error… Anomaly (What?) His new talent is… useless. Why then does the World Government want Keynes so badly they will silence anyone who knows about his Talent? At the same time... Somewhere in the Universe, ancient beings stir from their slumber, awoken by the system alert and the wall of glaring red warnings. Their greatest fear just manifested and they are hell-bent on erasing it from existence. -------- It is a slow-development story, so you won't find the MC with super powers at the beginning. -------- It is a coming of age story and focuses on a Talent system (in the beginning) with several additions that bring to the table upgrading of a planet’s tier and such (a bit later). There will be quite an amount of rebuilding society as new, unknown resources enter the economy, and a lot of travelling, delving and naturally, unlocking the secrets of the Universe. As for the setting, the story starts in XXI century, which technology-wise isn't much different from what we have now, but it is enhanced by magic associated with Talents. This allowed the humankind to colonize the solar system, but the technology that allows for interstellar travel doesn't exist (yet). Because it’s my first attempt at LitRPG, please be forgiving but constructive. I hope you will enjoy the story! --- Cover by Daniel Gembus https://www.artstation.com/daniel_gembus instagram.com/danielgembus

To Burn a Kingdom
It has been centuries since Gods and Angels forsook the world of Ashaari, leaving its people Faithless and divided as Magic begins to fade. But some of their powers still remain, embedded deep in the earth as rare Gems and sometimes, in blood. Wars are waged and fought over these Gems, for what little Magic they provide. But now, a new prophecy has arisen. The Angels will return and with them, comes Magic and hysteria. - In the kingdom of Illya, Princess Arellia Virtris lives a life of opulence but she is miserable; a caged puppet whose strings are controlled by the members of her court. She yearns for the freedom she may never have but is bound by the prophecy to serve her kingdom and the Faith. But when her brother—the crown prince Vasilis— suddenly arranges an unfavourable marriage, her life begins to spiral out of her control. On the other side of the continent, mercenary Dillon Azshker jumps thoughtlessly from battle to battle. He lives only for the coin he earns and booze to drown the sorrows of his past. Life has left him dispirited save for one last reckless campaign that he hopes would end it all. As fate— or perhaps, bad luck—would have it, on the night of summer solstice, the lives of these two unfortunate souls are intertwined as they find themselves caught in the dark webs of politics and sinister schemes. When they meet and tragedies unfold, their decisions will ultimately trigger a series of events that will alter the course of history. *** Warning: This novel is grimdark and will contain descriptions that some readers may find disturbing.
