"Is this a character development?"
"So, what are we gonna do?"
I nod and proceed to walk to the door when i hear a knock.
"Hey," i said to Jeno that looks concerned.
"Are you injured?"
"Not at all,"
"How?"
He asked with such concern.
"Ask Chenle," i smiled.
The gap between his lips widen as my words traveled to his ears.
Before Jeno able to close his mouth Chenle had walk up to us.
his tone is completely different.
I bit my lips to prevent myself from smiling. My cheekbones threatened to lift but i successfully hide it by following Chenle outside.
I squirmed in my seat because of the stare of the others. They stared at me as soon as i got into the car.
The ride continues but it feels like swallowing dust. Not exactly peacefull. At all.
Yet Jaemin is sitting next to me while rubbing my hands. He seems to be trying to soothe me down, instead he looks the most nervous out of the two of us.
"Hey, i'm fine," i said breaking the silence that hovered the moment.
I turn my head to Chenle.
"Right?" I asked Chenle without giving too much friendly tone in my sentence.
He scoffs.
The day moved steadily to the afternoon. After what happened, the time slowed down.
I walk hand in hand with Jaemin that looks eager not to expose me to any danger. Including Chenle.
"Why do you keep holding my hands?" I asked after we hop off the van.
He sighs.
"Look, what happened today was as usual as taking a breath to us," Jaemin said looking at my eyes "You willingly expose yourself to more dangers by choosing to stay."
"So, you are telling me i should just die?" That sentence slipped out. Dear, i must have been holding it in.

I have been reassuring myself that what i chose is right.
What if choosing to stay isn't any better than death?
My thoughts scrambled when Jeno pushed my arm lightly while giving more space between me and Jaemin.
"Chenle asked you to come to his room," Jeno said to me.
I nodded with a faint smile that signals worry rather than joy.
"Be safe," just those words. Just those words is enough to make me shiver.
Sebastian that stood seven feet in front of me now leads me to Chenle's room.
Note : there are a lot of time splits in this chapter, are they too much?

The Madec Legacy
The dawn of Emotion Based A.I.s is here, John is the fifth test subject to have an AI implemented in his brain, and so far the first one to survive. Blinded by the dream of immortality, the researchers push the tests to inhumane standards. John is obligated to take part in sessions of torture designed to test the limits of the AI influence over the physical and mental health. What was supposed to be a new beginning in life turns into living hell. An (un)lucky twist ends his life. John then reincarnates with his AI in a new world where a System influences the interaction between Magic and Matter. With seemingly limitless potential and a game-like system influencing the world, the hero sets on his journey. --AUTHOR NOTE, PLEASE READ-- I will state here my promises to you, potential reader: 1. No harem! I don't trust myself to make a harem feel natural or healthy, I never met any person who has a personality that can adapt and live in a harem for reasons that are not monetary, so I can't draw inspiration from real life. Sorry!; 2. The enemies will not be bland and illogically mean. Some may feel like that at first, but I will take great care in fleshing them out, trust me. You may end up hating some, but you won't be able to deny that they had their reasons for what they did; 3. I am using a paid (and expensive) automated editor tool, and I take longer to write because I take my time in editing the stuff. I am aiming to improve and I will not shy away from constructive criticism, nor take offense for no reason; 4. Characters will die and will suffer, some will get over the tragedies and improve, others will not be as resilient. 5. This novel has a lot of ground to cover, it is neither a short story, a manual on crafting, or the script of some action scene. There will be both time skips and oversimplifications of some actions for the sake of moving the story forward. Time skips will be more prominent in the first 30 chapters. I will describe crafting processes and fights with more detail if they are essential for the chapter; 6. If I took my time describing something, it's because it is important. I hate novels that waste time describing useless stuff. If you skim over something, the chances are that something in the future will not make sense. I am an adept of "Chekhov's gun" principle; 7. I already have 31k words on my auxiliary documents, I have a plan for the story, and I will not be making changes even if someone ends up noticing some foreshadowing and figures out what will happen. The story comes first. 8. I have a wife, a job that demands 9h every day and courses related to my job (lawyer) three days of the week, it's unlikely that I will be able to do mass releases at all. I will have a healthy amount of chapters to be able to post at least 1 chapter every day continually. Don't worry. 9. I will read all the comments. I will listen to all you have to say and will try my best to accommodate demands as long as they do not hamper the path I prepared. 10. There is an arc that spans the entire novel. Each volume will be an arc in itself while progressing a little bit of the main arc. Every arc will have one or more main antagonists. I think that's it! Thank you for reading it all. Have an awesome time reading my first novel!!

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
