???: Completing the goal is all there is. There is no deeper meaning or purpose behind it. There is no evil or good to sway decisions. All there is fufilling Jackie's goal of bringing about a perfect sense of balance to the world. The goal is Jackie'salone to set. So it is his alone to interpret. I/we are just the means for that goal to be made. We are just the personas in his mind that work for his designe dpurpose. We are the robots to the man who acts like a robot.
(It is three months after Jackie has left the warehouse to Issac and Karl, the scene begins with Dante Heaven's sword regional officer to the southeast section of America talking to a dark figure on computer screen. While in a office somwhere in Atlanta, Georgia.)
Dante: Commander, I know we have seen some loses in this sector from recent vigilante activity but we are still seeing great resluts the test cities in my sector. I mean even the town of Clampton were much of the activity is happening in is showing us some very promising results. So I think everything will be fine sir.
Commander: Fine! You idiot! Do you not understand what has begone to happen here?!
Dante: But sir!
Commander: Silence, Dante you clearly have no idea what could happen from all that has happened do you.
Dante: Sir, I know we lost Amanda Starnes and Issac Well's. I also know we have failed in getting any serious breakthroughs with space-time technology, and I know raids led by Well's and issac have slowed down operstions a bit, but we still seem to be having some very positive results.
Commander: Oh is that right may I remind you that you have also forgotten about the masked man and Toria! They are the biggest threats to us Dante! Every single move those two have made has been coordinated and precise. If they ever piece everything together from the info they have collected it could be the end of the plan. We will never be able to forge Heaven's weapons and plunge this deplorable world into God's image. Do you understand Dante!
Dante: I am sorry my lord! I understand I have to do better!!
(Dante stabs himself in the forearm bringing it down to his wrist. The blood pours as he takes the knife out.)
Dante: I sha'll atone for my sins sir
Commander: I know my dear Dante now stay that hand of yours and get your wounds treatd we have wrk to do.
Dante: You are to kindmy saviour.
Commander: Now. now we just have to put pressure on these individuals inflicting pain on our noble cause.

Mother of Learning
Zorian is a teenage mage of humble birth and slightly above-average skill, attending his third year of education at Cyoria's magical academy. He is a driven and irritable young man, consumed by a desire to ensure his own future and free himself of the influence of his family, whom he resents for favoring his brothers over him. Consequently, he has no time for pointless distractions or paying attention to other people's problems. As it happens, time is something he is about to get plenty of. On the eve of the Cyoria's annual summer festival, he is killed and brought back to the beginning of the month, just before he was about to take a train to Cyoria. Suddenly trapped in a time loop with no clear end or exit, Zorian will have to look both within and without to unravel the mystery before him. And he does have to unravel it, for the time loop hadn't been made for his sake and dangers lurk everywhere... Repetition is the mother of learning, but Zorian will have to first make sure he survives to try again - in a world of magic, even a time traveler isn't safe from those who wish him ill. ********************************** If anyone is interested, I have a story-related worldbuilding site that can be found here. I don't update it as often as I should, but there is a fair amount of content there already. It also contains a page with all the fanart, fan translations, audio books and the like - you can reach it directly by clicking this link. I have a patreon account for those kind people that want to give me money. It also contains info for those who want to donate via paypal. The story was originally posted on fictionpress, back in 2011. When I reached chapter 91, I started uploading the story to RoyalRoad, one chapter per day. The story will continue to be updated on fictionpress as well as here, and can be reached by clicking on this link if somebody is interested, though at this point there is nothing there that isn't also on RoyalRoad. ********************************** The cover you see on the side has been made by a fellow RoyalRoad user Sydorow. Thank you for your time and art skills.

How to raise a Hive Queen
This story is about a newborn Hive Queen, which gets raised in an unexpected environment. The first part of the story will focus on her development and the challenges that come with it. Eventually she will start to produce her own swarm of hive creatures. The species of the Hive Queen is called the Sylv and they are a insectoid species with an hive mind. The Sylv can evolve themselves through extracting traits from other non Sylv creatures. This is limited to modify the basic set of creatures the Sylv can produce, they are not able to create completely new creatures. In this regard they are more like ants, who have workers, soldiers and queen ants. The Sylv live underground in so called hive complexes and use living structures in them to produce more of their kind. The Hive Queen is the leader of a Sylv Hive and responsible for evolving the swarm. This novel takes place in a fantasy setting and was inspired by other hive species like the Zerg from "Starcraft" made by Blizzard Entertainment, the Arachnea from "Her majesty's swarm" published on j-novel club, and the Vex from "I don't want to be the Hive Queen" by ValetheHowl. I really enjoy stories with an organic hive mind species and want to contribute myself. The focus and theme of this story will change as the Hive Queen matures and defines the goals she wants to achieve. If you like this story also check out my other fiction "To former Glory" here on Royal Road :D
