《They came by the dozen (Dropped)》Adventure of the OP-Weapon Smith Chapter 1 part 3
Advertisement
As I stood there infront of them, the feelings of shock, fear, gratefulness, envy and a slight feeling of anger are visible on their faces as if they have seen a god.
Me; My name is Nin and I am one of the twelve leaders of the 12 orders.
When I spoke my voice was slightly more feminine than my usual voice. As I was introducing myself, murmurs could be heard. I wonder if I made a mistake of transforming into my girl form for this, I could always say that my family has the trait of changing genders at random times of day.
I was wearing my mask of course and I was wearing my explorer armour that covers my entire body and hides or rather it doesn't allow easy to remember figures like hips, shoulders and height. I gotta hand it to Ocht for this armour.
Point of View Villager
My name is Valencia, a former adventurer hell all of the towns people were adventurers of at least B rank but that didn't matter as we were easily overwhelmed by the third prince's elite army.
They didn't care who they killed men, women, children and elderly they massacred without a single thought. From the big specks of fire from varying distances that can be visibly seen in the town's walls. Me and my neighbours decided to get our families out of the town before the third prince's army comes.
What a silly thought that was because of how fast they arrived we could barely get our equipment on ourselves rather we could only get a few weapons but no armour as they would hamper our movements and slow us down.
My group of survivors have been running for several hours now and I could visibly see a mixture of tiredness, fear, anger and determination but I feel that this was hopeless because everytime they are near us a group of men would stay behind to fight them off and we would run, the children had not stopped crying but they still ran "what strong children they are" is what I thought and I prayed to every god I know I even prayed to the gods of destruction who wouldn't do anything but destroy.

As the group of riders were about to reach us thousands upon thousands of varying weapons started to fly around and killing everything infront of me, within five seconds the riders have died and as the times kept increasing the number of weapons also kept increasing.
When a minute has passed I feel the winds carrying everyone and I mean in a more literal way, as I could feel bringing lifted up I could hear the children laughing after a long time they finally laughed. Another minute has passed and survivors from every villages and towns that were attacked were brought together, the wounded were gathered to one side and those who died were gathered on the opposite sides.
Then She/He appeared riding upon an armoured eighteen winged lion of grey fur that both looked divine and demonic but beautiful and yet fierce (https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/0e/d5/68/0ed568c943ff3616961f48dfbf40eef4.jpg). She/he was wearing a mixed armour set but doesn't look out of place at all.
When she spoke it sounded as if the creatures both monsters and mortals whose voices were famed to be beautiful were put to shame when she spoke. Her voice carried authority yet it was friendly. She introduced herself to be a person called Nin a strange name yet it felt oddly to be just right and the most shocking thing was that she was a leader of an order but I wonder what her order is called or rather where she came from.
When I was about to talk some Idiot was acting like he did everything when clearly he didn't.
Idiot: Who do you think I am. I didn't need your help I could have beaten them all by myself.
Nin: Like hell you can. You retard were hiding amongst the dead playing dead. Hell I can still smell the piss on you.
Idiot: How dare you say something like that to me I am an S rank adventurer and I could easily beat you.

Nin: Why do idiots like you exist.
When Nin said those words she just clicked her fingers and turned him into shredded pieces of meat. Her eyes were cold as if they were looking at trashes and bugs. What she said next were putting us in place.
Nin: To those Idiots who still think they are worth something stand infront of me and I will put you in place, because to me you all are nothing but specks of dusts that I just decided to live a bit longer and if that is how you say your thanks then I should have let them kill you all.
Random Man: Just because you killed them doesn't mean shit. Infront of gods you are nothing but a small bug.
Nin didn't reply but just brought out several heads of various races and they weren't normal heads aswell they held this sort of divine and demonic feel to them.
Nin: You mean this Gods. This are nothing but trash you think they haven't angered beings greater than them.
When Nin said those words two other beings appeared one was riding a shark and another riding a wolf but just like Nin their beasts weren't normal aswell. Their riders were wearing the same clothes as Nin but have different amount of armour and slight colour divergence and when they spoke they were pleasant to hear and behind them were groups of children with tears running down their eyes.
Bodies of varying age were carried by water and dirt.
?: Hey Nin time to go.
Nin: So any words about the kids behind you.
?: Can't be helped their parents died. You think we can bring them home.
?: I already contacted the others, they agreed.
Nin: Then let's go. To the children who lost their families come in front of me I will take you with me and to those who lost everything I give you this weapons hunt and live. Hey Oct can you give them some armour I'll pay for it and also Et can you give them some accessories.
Oct: Here *Leaves several set of armour* also this armour will decide if you are worthy or not. Hell all of this equipment will.
Et: Here *lives boxes on the ground* this are sets so they will work best together.
As they were about to leave the idiots ran to the kids and place the weapons to their necks and were threatening the three people, that was until the weapons started to devour the idiots piece by piece.
The children who were about to be killed started to cry that was when Nin walked up to them and gave them a hug like those of a mother and were soothing them saying words like "It's ok Mommy's here" and "You are very strong so give Mommy a smile ok" and it wasn't just her the other two were actually doing the same for their own groups of children. They are monsters but they are also beings who are more humane than any.
I finally got the courage to speak again.
Me: Thank you for saving us and I'm sorry for this shit's actions.
When I said that Nin and the other two took of their masks and showed a smile that could charm anybody. They were like Goddesses of beauty.
Nin had a silvery black long straight hair, with eyes that held sadness and joy and her facial features just added to her charm.
Nin: It was no problem and we are sorry for your lose, this equipment should be enough for you and the children.

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.

Point of View
Adrian Shepherd is alive in Santa Monica. Successfully fleeing from the target zone of a nation-wide terroristic threat was not easy, nor did it come free. Adrian had to abandon parents who turned deaf ears, but even more heart-crushing was leaving behind someone who meant the world to Adrian, someone who he had shared his whole life with. Now, he survives with broken memories chasing him. Confliction turns him from wanting to live and wanting to die. Guilt wretches him as he craves the forgiveness he can never have. Maybe tomorrow will bring a brighter day, or maybe more problems. **Cover Photo is Temporary** **I would say the story has light gore and traumatizing events, to the point that I originally didn't check the content warnings. Be advised.**
