《Would you like to continue?》Prologue

"Wait so you're telling me you're extremely old?" Walter asked. Walter has been Durante's friend for forever, they grew up in the same side of town went to the same school and everything, he stood at a height of 6ft2 and he was wearing a grey shirt which complemented his light blonde hair.
"No, that's not the point, I'm physically young but I'm mentally older than the lot of you." Durante said as he ran his finger through his black hair. His black hair has had a few silver streaks since he was quite young, he attributed it to the intense stress he had had to go through daily. He had a slight dark tan which went with his hair, a black T-shirt which said mechas rule and a dark pair of jeans.
"So if you have these abilities, why is it now you are telling me, all those tests we've failed, we could have passed them easily dude." [Walter]
"I have told you countless times, and in the end you keep making me do all sorts of silly things that ends up with someone we know dying." Durante said while pacing around Walter's bedroom, the room had a grey color scheme that gave off a calming effect, there weren't any posters, but mirrors on each wall, Walter as you see was quite vain
"My long term project was ruined last week, couldn't you have prevented that, or wait you did and the situation became worse?"[Walter]
"Why on earth would I care about your project, especially a project which you gave no concern about? "[Durante]
"Oh huh, well that's cool and all, I'm quite tired now, was programming all night so...." Walter jumped on his bed and slept off. Durante was left speechless.

"Classic Walter"He said as he shut the door and left the room. On his way out he greeted Walter's Mother, Martha she looked barely 30 had dark blonde hair was noticeably shorter than her son. He also sent his regards too Walter's father Ralph, who was always busy at work, same with Durante's Father.
He had told Walter about this because he needed help in a situation he was currently facing, he needed too do two things simultaneously. And in all the TV shows he has watched, who better than your best friend? He picked up his bike from the side and started cycling down the street, it was a chilly Saturday morning he decided to take a lap around the town or two.
Right now he was currently facing a dilemma, his ability allowed him to level up and each time he levelled he got certain perks, and to level up he needed to complete the quests posed by the system, he mainly ignored the quests as the abilities gotten weren't that important too him, more like amplifications of his ability, at lvl. 1 he unlocked the Respawn ability, at lvl. 5 he got the ability link, which allowed him to link to someone else, letting them also retain their memories, for some reason it was already taken. At lvl. 7 he got another useful ability. At lvl. 10 he got the pause function, he used that one a lot, his current aim was 15 which allowed him too link 2 people. In the world he lived in, abilities like he had were rare, most manifested in diverse ways. Due to this it was no surprise the unspeakable calamity occurred in the next 15 years. His goal was to fully train his ability, too a state where he is able to ward it off, with unlimited time he was sure this was possible.

Of Men and Dragons, Book 2
Jack, S'haar, and all their family are back. After crashing his ship on an underdeveloped world, Jack found friends and family among the terrifying cat-lizard natives of the world, but now mere survival is no longer enough. They must carve out a new home for themselves in the landscape of the now rapidly changing world. Raiders, politics, and even nature threaten their happiness and their lives while they struggle to deal with the nightmares and traumas of yesterday. They'll need to depend on each other more than ever if they hope for their new home to have any kind of future. In case you missed it, here's book one. ATTENTION: This is soft sci-fi rather than hard sci-fi, hence why I chose that tag. For those of you unfamiliar with the distinction, here's what Wikipedia had to say. 1. It explores the "soft" sciences, and especially the social sciences (for example, anthropology, sociology, or psychology), rather than engineering or the "hard" sciences (for example, physics, astronomy, or chemistry). 2. It is not scientifically accurate or plausible; the opposite of hard science fiction. Soft science fiction of either type is often more concerned with character and speculative societies, rather than speculative science or engineering. The term first appeared in the late 1970s and is attributed to Australian literary scholar Peter Nicholls.
