《The Solitary Sword Sovereign》The N Word
Advertisement
Will and Nzou went on like people who had known each other for years. This baffled everyone. It was clear from their words that they had just met, but they shared a camaraderie that was so unusual.
Karim, being the man that he was, could no longer hold in it. He held his fist out, just like Will had done, and said, "Ma nigga wassup!"
The moment he said these words, everyone except Letty froze. They all looked at Karim as if he was an alien. Even the cool and calm Ibrahim face-palmed at his fellow teammate's actions. If Nzou was caucasian, his skin would have turned red from embarrassment. He quivered in anger and was about to act but Will moved before he did.
Will drew his sword and went straight for Karim's neck. Karim was also above level 100, which was a massive watershed, so he was no weakling. He saw Will's movements clearly and got ready to dodge. The only person there with a level lower than Will's was Letty, hence she was the only person who saw Will as a blur.
Everyone from Karim's side had the same thought.
'Karim can easily dodge that.'
And rightly so. Karim's specialty was not speed but it certainly wasn't his weakness. Karim saw Will's movements clearly as if the latter was moving in slow motion. To look cool, Karim intended to dodge the attack last minute, but when he tried to dodge the attack, something strange happened.
'Why isn't Karim dodging?'
This was the question on everyone's mind. Alexa and Ibrahim, however, saw it differently. Karim was indeed moving, but he was far slower than Will!
Karim panicked in his heart. It felt as if his entire body was under water, and the water pressure was bearing down on him with immense strength. Just nodding under these circumstances would be an achievement on its own.

Will's sword was only a few centimeters from decapitating Karim's neck when Nzou's voice rang out. "Bro!"
Will's sword stopped on Karim's neck, a little blood was already dripping down the rusty edge of the old sword.
Everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief when this happened. "Nigga pump the brakes, he's a retard, ima deal with him later, so chill."
Will's strict expression relaxed a little, "I'm pumping bro, I'm pumping." Will sheathed his sword with a deadpan expression and eventually looked away.
Will stared at Letty and said, "Listen, never. Ever say the 'N' word in front of me, is that clear." Will's face was unusually serious as he said this, making the mood even tenser. Letty nodded her head with an intensity similar to a chicken pecking corn.
Nzou grabbed Karim by the collar and dragged him off saying, "Excuse me, I have to have a chat with this fool."
No one felt pity for Karim as he screamed like a little girl while being dragged off into the horizon. Letty was still a little confused, but she somewhat understood that Karim had said something that he should not have said. Alexa awkwardly coughed, trying to diffuse the tension.
"Ahem, that was Karim. His class is Armoured Guardian. He is also over level 100. On behalf of the Empire, I, ehm, apologize for what just happened, it won't happen again, you have my word."
Everyone on Alexa's side nodded as if to reinforce what she had said. Will's impression of these people had dropped to an all-time low due to Karim's antics. Alexa clapped her hands to gain everyone's attention and gestured at Francisco.
"This is Francisco, his class is Vector Knight."
Francisco did a gentleman's bow while ogling Letty. The team was told to be wary of Letty and already knew her sensitive identity, so Francisco tried to be low key, but Letty's beauty stunned the poor pervert's soul. He had seen an image of her, but seeing the real thing was an entirely different story. Letty took a few steps closer to Will to avoid his stare. Little did she know that she was moving from one pervert to another. Will had a unique taste, so his perversions needed certain bootylicious circumstances to occur.

"This is Gabby, her class is mythical tamer. She just reached level 100." Gabby was shy and simply nodded her head. Will nodded his in return. He was happy that there was someone normal in their group. For some reason, her normalcy brought comfort to him.
"You have already met Taiga, his class his Void Shinobi. He is close to level 125 like Woodsy" Taiga was not visible at the moment, but no one had a doubt that he was there. Not to mention that some even knew where he was and what he was doing.
"As for myself, I am above level 125 and my class is Radiant Skywalker. I am a warrior."
Letty could not help but gasp this time. Everyone looked at her wondering what was up, but she shook her head and said, "Please don't mind me haha." Everyone ignored her as requested, but Will and Alexa had something else in mind entirely.
"This is Letty, she is a Necromancer." Letty did a slight bow. All the men nearby except Will were visibly enchanted.
"Ahem, you all know who I am, my class is Water Meister."
"Ah!"
This time Letty screamed and tripped, falling onto the ground. Not only her, but Alexa also gasped. Their reactions showing that this class was not normal at all. Will was annoyed so he stared at Letty and said, "I don't care about your reaction to Alexa's class, but did your reaction to mine have to be over the top?"
While Will was grilling Letty, Alexa accessed her info panel and made a call. Will looked to the said and saw her cover one eye.
"Yes sir, what you heard was correct, he did say Water Meister…"
Will scratched his head due to their reactions. Only Letty and Alexa reacted, but this made it worse because this meant that what they knew was information privy to top-level characters. Will picked up Letty and glared at her.
"Alright kid, spill the beans."

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.
