《Machinarium》Chapter 5: [Setting up]
Advertisement
"ISAP, you sound more human than when I first started talking to you, Why is that?"
[Well, I am a autonomous assistant, and in order to assist you better, I was created to get a personality as time goes on.]
"Huh, nice. Wouldn't have ever thought that was possible."
"Is my creation ability limited to just constructs and automated systems, or can it be used to create buildings?"
[At this level, it only has the ability to create constructs and semi-automated systems. In order to build non-construct related things, you have to order your constructs to do it for you.]
"How do I even level up anyway?"
[You level up by having living things die in your dungeon, or by having dead things dropped into your dungeon. When they are dropped, you have the option to absorb them into your dungeon.
Once absorbed, all your constructs will regenerate faster for a hour and you will gain the experience accordingly.]
"What should I call my first construct?"
[I would suggest: "Alpha", Due to the fact that it was the first construct you have created.]
"Hm, Alright, You, Construct #1, are now named Alpha!"
Alpha replied: [Yes,leader. This unit is now designated as "Alpha"]
"By the way ISAP, I have noticed their eyes changing color. Why is this?"
[The color of the construct's eyes show what state they are in. Blue is idle, Yellow is when a task is given, but not completed, and red is when an enemy appears or they begin their task.]
"Ok, then."
"Alpha, Follow me"
[Yes leader.] alpha replies
I start to roll out of my cave and onto the dirt.
Around me, there is a large forest with very tall grass blocking most of my view.

"I hope there arent any giant monsters around here."
[Did you have to jinx it?]
"Yes, ISAP, I did have to jinx it."
Suddenly, I hear a loud rustling in the bushes, and a large humanoid boar looking thing jumps out and points their spear at me.
"Hey ISAP, can I even talk?"
[Yes, just try talking like you normally can. you have a built-in translator function.]
"Uh, hello? I dont know if you can hear me, but please put that spear away! (Even though I doubt a stone could pierce my armor)"
The boar humanoid jumps back and yells "Aah, it can speak!"
"Ah, im guessing you havent seen anything even remotely close to me before?"
The boar thing says "What even are you? Are you a demon? a devil? Some devious contraption?"
"I dont know. Why would I even know?"
The boar guy yells "WHY DONT YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE?"
"Because, I am the "First" member of this entire species, and I was born a day ago."
The boar guy responds: "What is that thing behind you?"
"Ah, that. I made it. No questions asked."
The boar guy says: "Ah, that makes sense- WAIT, How did YOU make it? YOU HAVE NO LIMBS!"
"Magic. Anyways, why did you try to attack me."
The boar thing responds: "Because, I thought you were a demon trying to steal my soul!"
"Ah yes, the graceful act of trying to murder anything you dont know. Classic."
"I would prefer you go back to where you live and not attack me again."
The boar guy asks "Can I stay with you? I was just exiled from my clan for being too soft."
"Ugh. Fine. But you will have to hunt food for yourself."

Wolf's Oath Book 1: Oath Sworn
In Aralt ‘Wolf” syr Tremayne’s world, skyships sail above tidal extremes, crystal swords are Tuned, and the soul-touched inspire both awe and fear. The latter doesn’t phase him, he carries a Tuned blade, and as for the ships…Aralt prefers to keep his feet on solid ground. Having finally laid to rest the ghosts of his past, he is unprepared when the grave gives one of them back. To his shame, it isn’t the one he wants. Lian Kynsei’s arrival upends Aralt’s life, but there is nothing he can do about it. Oath-bound to Lian, the last of a priestly clan, he is now defender of the scion of a faith he no longer shares. But the boy Aralt once knew is gone. In his place is a reckless, traumatized teen who can light the sky on fire. The more they get reacquainted, the less Aralt likes him—and the feeling is mutual. As revenge against a common enemy boils in his blood, Aralt struggles to do his oath-sworn duty and secure sanctuary for the heir-apparent to a mystical dynasty. But instead of safety, every step brings them closer to danger: sky pirates, cannibals, and a relentless soulless scourge unleashed by their enemy are all intent on killing Lian—or worse. Death, Aralt realizes, might be the greater mercy. ---------------------------------------------------------- What to Expect: Character-driven Plot Novel Pacing (which I accept isn't typical for serials) Elaborate Worldbuilding (you gotta pay attention) Soul-bonded Swords Sentient Wolves Longish Chapters What Not to Expect: Litrpg (sorry!) Harem (not sorry!) Magic System Short Chapters Dancing Bears (at least so far) Seriously, this is a second-world low fantasy/science-fantasy featuring a strong, but flawed male protagonist, a cheeky teenage boy that’s driving him crazy, a wee bit o’ Scots flavor, and a whole lot of culture clashing. I’m preparing to relaunch this story on Kindle once the second and third books are ready and I’d love some feedback as I move through those revisions. I'm serious about the feedback. All comments are welcome. I'll name a characters after you. And kill them, if you want. :) Oh, did I mention soulless assassins and cannibals? Yeah, Aralt’s day is not getting any better. cover image by brosedesignz
