Intro/prologue 3
Sorry for not updating for like half a year or so remember when I said an update per week yeah right. I was really overestimating myself so I guess I really am slacking off so the lazy guy that never updates his ff title fits me I guess . But that's not a title to hold pride in . But without farther interruptions let's start the chapter.
8 years later
8 years ago my father told me to start vr as soon as I was old enough as it was the most popular thing at the time and still is. And it would get my mind of things but I got way too into school work and working in general so I eventually became a workaholic and didn't even touch the vr capsule. I know I know it's very expensive to have a vr capsule and it usually was what kids 8 years ago and 8 years later dream about all day and night but honestly I was just so focused on friends and work . Work because I was a serious workaholic and friends because it's not easy making friends when your introduction is hi I can only go to school because my parents ditched me and a rich family adopted me. Plus I was super shy so it was really hard to make friends. But after some kindness and trust I broke out my shell and became just like any old elementary student.
It was also hard at first because the school my old parents took me too was very low budget and teachers barely helped us learn. So I had trouble at first but like I've mentioned many times now because of how much a workaholic I was it took like to no time to rise to the top student. So 8 years past like that I was still passing though everything with top marks I was also really popular but people rarely hung out with me excluding school cause of the fact I was always studying and everyone else was playing vr. But after I passed high school as my marks and my fathers influence were top notch I could literally get almost any job.

But my father just confronted me and said "son you're an amazing son and I literally spilled my coffee reading your report cards but your life so far has been almost entirely studying go out have fun you don't really need a job as my job can literally support our entire family for a long while so there's really no need and yes I know you're pride but I'm proud of I know you have more than enough potential to get a job so just relax and have fun do somthing instead of studying fi you're in need of jobs when you're old pops passes away you'll have my job which is like the best and I know you can handle it so go find something you love and enjoy life"and after my dad said that he pat me on the back and left.
I was literally lost all I've done so far is study now that I don't need to I didn't know what to do. So I decided to ask my dad "wait dad what should I do I pretty lost right now......." I said. "I guess I could recommend you some hobbies I had around your age ugh..... Oh I did sword play i guess you could do that and also consider VR"dad exclaimed "but Arthur you should try to look for you're own hobbies but I guess sword plays a start I'll introduce you to my ol buddy that taught me" he said as he chuckled "I guess I could start tomorrow....." I said hesitatingly "great I'll arrange it now" he exclaimed and ran off I sighed what had I gotten myself into
Hope you enjoyed the chapter sorry for the super late update I'll try to update more but knowing me you'll see a chapter like once a month till I get or once a week it all depends on my mood-frostus

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.
