《B1nary Bl00d》Chapter 8
Advertisement
As I am being sucked out I re-create my vacuum suit around me. I'm flying down now, heading towards the star. I look around and see there are massive solar panels below me. They are attached to the dison sphere be giant metal ropes. I know I must be moving pretty fast but it barely seems like I'm getting any closer.
I move my nanites and have them wrap around a rope that is, thankfully, pretty close. I have them form a bunch of rollers that I then wrap around the rope. Once that's done, I slowly have them start breaking. After about five minutes I have finally come to a complete stop.
Now I have another problem. How on earth am I supposed to get back up? It's hard enough to not fall down, I am fighting gravity after all. Well, I guess I will just have to work my way up slowly. I add tiny spikes to the rollers, then start to force them to pull me up.
***
It took so long that I fell asleep multiple times on the way up, but I've finally made it all the way to the top. I look up at the surface and see grooves that are about 3 inches deep and are wider at the top. I bet that the construction bots would use these for moving around while outside the dison sphere. I can use them too, for moving around.
See, I have a brilliant Idea, I'm going to destroy the metal ropes holding up the solar panels. I think this will be the fastest way to get around while also doing damage. So to start, I'm going to destroy the one I climbed up on.
Man, this is boring. At least when I was coming up I had to focus on it so it wasn't too bad, but this requires almost no effort. I've cut down several hundred by now. I've kinda been going in a line. I'm still hoping to see something that looks important but haven't yet.

Finally, I've found something that looks important. It's a large circular dome. kinda like an upside-down crater. As I move to the interior of the crater-dome thing, I see a square hole with rounded edges that leads up into it.
I move myself up into it. As I go up, it gets wider and wider. As I look around, I see a lot of wires and tubes going into a central machine. Then I realize that this is one of the spots where energy came out of the dison sphere. Perfect. I think. I use my nanites to move myself to the center part, then have them eat away at it. After about five minutes of this, Red flashing lights go off.
At first, I think that I've set off an alarm, but no security robots or anything comes out. Then I look back to where I was having the nanites break down the machine and see the problem. The metal is glowing red hot. I must have broken its cooling system.
Which means that... OH, CRAP ...It going to melt down. I Start moving my self as far away as possible from it, as fast as possible. As I am getting away, I see a bright flash, then darkness.

Lethal Combo (Weapon-Based Martial Arts Adventure)
Quang is a slacker that doesn't have much going for him except for his skills in Chinese kickboxing and his proficiency with a pair of nunchucks. Selene is broke but still manages to overestimate herself. The fact that she's knows Hapkido and how to handle a set of tonfas doesn't help either. Together, they're going to get into a lot of trouble. Just like everyone else in the sweltering West Coast city of Isla Lucrecia, Quang Nghiem is struggling to get by. His family’s business can’t make ends meet, his childhood friend has vanished without a trace and the self-imposed local “Union” threatens to tear down the family restaurant if they can’t pay their dues. Fortunately for him, part-time lifeguard and fellow out-of-practice martial artist Selene Olwagen has nothing better to do and is more than willing to help Quang track down his missing friend. However, there’s more lurking in the shadows of Isla Lucrecia than typical street gangs and criminals. Almost every chapter will have illustrations to accompany it. Heavily inspired by fighting games and classic martial arts films. Expect that kind of tone of going in. Updates twice a week, (mostly) on Wednesday and Saturday. Illustrations and covers were done by Ati: www.instagram.com/serious_ati/ Check out more art of Lethal Combo and my other projects here: www.instagram.com/fgc_checkmate/

The Foretold: Sun Child (Complete)
As a sixteen year old commoner, your future is bleak. Worse, your appearance sets you apart from others. Your only achievement so far, is befriending the second son of the Lord of the Keep. He has been your only friend for eleven years, initially partner in mischief and later your hunting companion and confidant. Now your friendship is being torn asunder, he has turned eighteen and is being sent away to become a Judge Knight Aspirant. What is to become of you? Before your friend leaves, there is murder and conspiracy! Magic left the land hundreds of years ago, all you have is your bow and hunting skills, nevertheless you must fight to survive and save another to have any hope of a future! Note: The graphic isn't mine; it is a re-imagining of a few separate images, any objections by original artists let me know. N.B. If you are looking for Sexual Content every chapter, or every second, third or fourth chapter this isn't the story for you - the Sexual Content is required for a plot device, not a way of life and the later chapters reflect that - please stop dropping Low Ratings when you feel I haven't met your idea of "fan service". This is finished as much as a multi book vision can be finished. At 750,000 words give or take and very little readership I can only blame myself. I have learnt a lot, possibly forgotten a lot as well! I will probably return to the Chapters at some point - a touch up here and a touch up there. The second book though will probably remain in my head for a very long time, so yes "cliffs" although I hope the characters and their motivations are developed enough that you can have a good guess at the content of Book Two and tell me so I can confirm or deny! This isn't a LITRPG where classes are developed, great foes are defeated by a hero of immense power. This is a story based within (I hope) a very real and consistent culture, that leaves breadcrumbs for the reader to work out what the heck is happening and why. This is a slow burn story as the MC is stumbling around discovering her new place and role. Author's Note (Apr 2021): I dropped the Fantasy Genre for the Mystery Genre, because while the setting mentions magic, is it about past glories and trying to return to them. Whereas the MC from Chapter One doesn't understand her predicament and the range of mysteries she must solve to survive. If I have this wrong PM me and I will change this back.
