Y'allaer PoV
They just greeted each other and established the last details. The two parties each had a contract. Lilith had already signed her paper where every detail we discussed had been written.
I could feel a small amount of mana from her signature. She then exchanged it with the one that Lance had already signed. They both would be "connected" with that contract. If one party were to break it they would have to accept the consequences.
Lance would sign when the group went back. That one would stay with him and the one Lilith had signed now would be her's.
They were given a house in the city to accommodate everyone. With a bow they all leave the room while a small Clockwork guided them to their new place.
After they left Lilith ask me to train with everyone again. All of them liked to see how I fight and it would help them develop faster.
I know what she was saying. Every time I talked with them I could see that they were gaining a self... All of them are different but they all looked the same.
But when I started to interact with them they gained more personality. And now they wanted to create their own technology. To not always be dependent on their Queen.
Firstly Lilith became sad, it was like seeing her kids grow... Probably... But when they presented what they could create she smiled.
The first thing they created was a expressing face. They tried to copy how I made my expressions. It was funny see them scanning my face while faking emotions.
It took them a week to complete. And when Lilith agreed to let them upgrade themselves a wave of joyful voices raised.
Now every Clockwork or Construct has a face that could show expressions. It started when I left, and now I could see differents kind of face, body, arms. They were evolving fast.
But Lilith was sad... she couldn't create half of the creatures of her society. She had told me that she had tried to solve the mystery of how to create a Synthoid and an Automata. She had scanned her body to know. But she didn't get any new information about how to create their core.
She started to explain that to me. How she couldn't find the pieces of the puzzles. She had some blueprints but couldn't finish it.
I thought she was about to cry. So I patted her head. The feeling was that of a human body, not of the machine. She looked surprise at first but after that she started to smile.
I joked how she looked like a dog if she wears a tail and ears. She puffed her cheeks.

"You're cute!" I said in a low voice.
She probably heard me because she got red and thinking that was cute I start to massage her shoulders. She shows that it pleases her. She probably had upgraded to make skin appear in her body. It is soft and smooth.
I start to massage her back and she moaned a little when I press my hands near her spine. Ruby charges at my left arm and I stop moving.
'What the hell I was doing!?' It probably appeared in my face. Because I started to feel that my face was bursting aflame.
She had an accusatory glint in her eyes. So I ran away of that place.
I slam the door of my room. I didn't know that I could do something like that! How should I explain what I did to her? This thought circled through my mind all day. I didn't have any strength to look at her during dinner that day... And she was in front of me!
It was night and I couldn't sleep. Without any strength to do anything I started to play with some pieces of silver that I had left inside my ring.
I go to the balcony and use my own flames to make the metal melt the little parts. I was working and looking to the moon. It was a full moon. The pale light was shining beautifully.
I had lost myself in thoughts looking to the moon and didn't look at my hands. It was when my hands stopped that I looked at what I had created. A small Lilith was looking to me, I had made a statuette. It was completely nude. But how could I create clothes for it? Taking out some other pieces of gold and white gold I work to create the clothes.
Gold to make the dress and the other metal to create her hair. I couldn't think of any other metal to use to represent that color. An almost white but yet silver.
It was dawn when I had finished. Looking at the statuette I found what I created. The dress that she used the first time we had meet. It looked like it would walk on its own.
A cute ice face like she had showed when she first met me. But yet the eyes were hollow. I had made it like that because I would need to put some jewel to represent her yellow eyes. She was standing with the perfect fit clothes with an absolute territory.
It was when I lifted my gaze from the art that I saw it. Lilith was staring at me. I didn't know when she had entered my room. But I could see she shifting gazes to me and my statuette.
With shame I grab the metal work and store it on my ring. Before she could say anything I was already flying.
"Has she seen everything? When did she enter my room? What did she think about it?" My face was red and I could see that she had sent me a message. But I didn't have courage to open it. Not now.

Then I go to the mine. I need to find the stones. I don't know why... But I know that I need to finish this work... Probably something with my pride? I didn't know but I just needed to finish it.
I mined without eating. It was then that I found what I needed. Some yellow gem was in the wall. Using magic to find how big the thing is I start to lose it from the wall. Magic can sure help with mining... It took me 10 minutes to finally excavate the stone. Five centimeters long and five centimeters wide gem. I had never seen this before, but it was perfect.
Lilith PoV
‘He called me cute! Even if he likened me to a domesticated quadrupedal mammal, it made me so happy that I think I would float! What is happening?! I’m the one who is supposed to be teasing and make him feel flustered! Is it because it doesn’t feel like he said it teasingly...?’ My mind was racing with strange thoughts as I enjoyed the sensation of whatever Y’allaer was doing to my shoulder area of my newly upgraded outer plating.
I'd carefully studied the female human intruder he had captured and designed a new material and sensory system based on the materials designated as "skin" and "nerves." They were surprisingly effective and not all that difficult to replicate in a compatible way, though it took some effort to find a good compromise between sensitivity and defensive ability. There were also a few other humanoid design elements I had taken an interest in and am working to integrate with my systems, but these are proving more tricky and are not yet at a point I would be willing to demonstrate to Y'allaer… why did I think of him again?!
His hands slowly moved from my shoulders to my back and the feeling only intensified. Despite being quite a young Draconian his hands are big and strong, and he's surprisingly proficient at using them. If he doesn't stop this soon I'll…
"Aahn" what the hell was that?! What is he doing to me?!
Out of a mixture of embarrassment, irritation, and confusion I made Ruby charge at one of his arms as he'd stopped in shock from my moan. His face went bright red and he seemed as much confused and embarrassed as I am, before he fled out of the throne room at blinding speed. He had already vanished by the time my mind was capable of calling out to him.
I thought to give us both some time to cool our heads and then we would be back to normal as always happens, but by the time dinner came he wouldn't even make eye contact with me and barely said more than one word at a time. Unsurprisingly this made me quite sad, so I resolved to visit him after completing my duties in the evening.
Upon entering his room I find my Draconian pet pacing at the end of the bed, completely failing to notice that I had knocked on the door and entered. Just as I was going to announce my presence he pulled some silver cut-offs out of thin air and walked out onto the balcony, and begun his unique forging method. I love watching him melt and shape metal with his own flames, both gentle and overpowering at the same time and so beautiful to watch. Enthralled by the fire I fail to make him aware of my presence, and before I know it he's finished.
'Isn't that me...? Why did he make a figurine of me? He's staring at the figure's thighs, and he made the legs in such exquisite detail, too… Ah. It looks like he has seen me. Should I comment on how beautiful the figure is? But it's me… Maybe on how he's obsessed with my thighs? What should I NOOOO! HE RAN AWAY AGAIN!!' I scream and curse him in my mind for flying away. He has become annoyingly skilled at fleeing awkward situations without giving me any chance to say a single word! I must have been going too easy on him. I'll train him harshly when he returns. 'wait… did I just send all that cursing and the threats of training to him as a message?'
I couldn’t turn off that night.. I would always remember his expression when I found him finishing the figure. He had a little bit of fear and… possibly love in his eyes…? I'm not sure. Organic emotions are strange. I wanted to recharge by sleeping because using the recharge facility is annoying and it's always full of noises of the others creatures.
I sigh and drag my body to the facility. It was noisy as expected, but when I entered it turned silent. All mechas were looking at me because I would normally never use it. I could recharge sleeping or just standing… but what happened today made me unable to stop my processing.
“Don’t fear. I just came here to get a bit of charge. For some reason I can’t say I couldn’t stop to make a complete recharge my usual way. I decided to come here in order to complete my batteries.” Saying that I walk through all the stares to the last recharger… ‘WHY DID I NEED TO PUT MY OWN RECHARGE STATION AT THE END?’
I was using the Ice Queen mask I always used when talking to my subordinates. ‘But it is annoying… do they really need to stare so much at me?’
It took just 10 minutes to make a complete recharge, and without a word I leave the place to work and find things to do while I wait for him to come back.

Approaching Ascension (Book 1) [Hiatus before Book 2]
A lonely middle aged man in a dead-end blue collar job fills what seems to be an advertisement survey on his old computer before sleeping on a whim. Next time he wakes up, he is in the body of a 14 year old fatty with a splitting headache, understanding a language he has never heard of, with memories that don't belong to him. According to the foreign memories, this 14 year old fatty was eerily similar to the options he had filled in that survey. How will he navigate this new world of cultivation with his new identity? Extra Tags: Cultivation, Transported to Another World, Xuanhuan, Xianxia, Game Elements Warning: This series is tagged as Mature because it includes crude language and graphic violence among other things. Taking a break from writing Asunder Online, and just felt like uploading this. Expect an erratic schedule.
8 735Another world? Some weird magic? Sure.
Writing my last novel, I realized that before you start, an ending should be there in your mind. So I wrote this as an atonement to my first novel. This is a typical story about someone who gets stranded in another world with OP powers. But this is not about just the MC, but also some people around him who directly/indirectly had their lives changed. I've written this as a collection of short stories where some may be bigger and more intense than the others. Note: I've finished writing all the chapters, but will upload on my own discretion.
8 79Gederah

8 193Ambition [Indefinite Hiatus]
Hunger, poverty, and suffering rampages throughout the world of Terra, as its seven great nations remain locked in a draining stalemate. In the midst of all this, Eremus and Ducis, two insignificant boys born with nothing, to nothing, develop a grand ambition to conquer the world and rid it of the concept of war forever. Eremus is proud of his cunning, and is confident that it will serve him well in achieving his shared ambition with Ducis. However, now he must match wits with the greatest minds of the land, and he may find that he has bitten off far more than he can chew... Note: This is a story I wrote when I was in high school, and have only recently moved it here to Royal Road. It was my first stab at writing an original fiction of my own, and though I had many things planned for it, I don't think I'll be continuing this now or in the forseeable future.
8 197Stone of Eclipse
A stone of ancient legend. Word has it that this stone is so absurdly powerful, it could grant people anything they wanted. Riches, fame, power, reformation, creation of a new world, you name it! One who obtains this stone will earn such dominance. But such absurdity has its demerits. After all, it is just a legend, right? Who would even believe in the existence of such a miraculous object? Was it even an object? Wasn't it more of an abstract energy existing within mankind? Or was it some form of celestial body that only appears during an eclipse? Where does it even exist? DOES it even exist? As such, the legend of this seemingly magical stone entered the realm of being termed as myth. Anybody stating their dream was to find the Stone of Eclipse would be branded as a laughing stock. Regardless, rumor or not, the whole idea of the stone has been deeply rooted into the history of humanity. Society, culture, kingdoms, governments, religions, cults - all have some form of group whose works are driven based on the stone. Enter, Diavolo Signore and his friends, an ignorant trio who have been sent off from their home island to learn of the world, having seen potential, by their island chief. After getting to know the story of this grand stone, they've together decided to compete between each other to see who finds and obtains it first......even if they have no idea where or how to start. Additional tags and content warnings will be added as the story progresses. Updates every Sundays.
