《When Machines Break》CHAPTER 2- PAIN
Advertisement
I ran to my room, tears still streaming down my face. As soon as I got in, I locked my door and leant against it breathing heavily. Frank was right, I am useless. I looked across my room and saw my blade on the table, gleaming in the moonlight. It seemed to be almost calling me over towards it.
Such a beautiful piece of metal work, yet so deadly. One deep cut in the right place is all it takes. Then I would finally be at peace and reunited with my mama. I walked over to it and was about to pick it up when there was a loud banging at my door.
"HEY LEO!" It was Jason. Uggh. What did he want now?
"yeah?" I answered.
"Piper wants you to fix her watch." He informed me.
"Just leave it by the door" I said.
"Ok" and with that he promptly walked off, probably to go make out or something.
"Piper wants you to fix her watch" I mimicked under my breath as I went to go pick it up. "Fix this, Fix that! It seems all they need me for is to fix their things and cause more problems" I muttered angrily.
I looked at the time, it was already ten minutes past midnight. I looked down at Piper's now fixed watch and then blinked at the clock in amazement. I had been rambling for nearly three whole hours!
Now I come to think of it, I am rather tired. I yawn widely and crawl into bed, not bothering to change cloths, Id only get about half an hours sleep until I need t get up again for the next day and make all Argo II preparations, and yes they take ages because I'm always half asleep while doing them.
I try to get comfortable in my tiny bed amongst all my weird creations. I close my eyes and drift asleep only to be greeted with nightmares from Gaia, almost as bad as Tartarus.

Cultivating Earth [Hiatus]
[This fiction is on indefinite hiatus. I'm currently acting as a 24-hour caregiver for my step-father who had a massive heart attack. I apologize for disappearing so quickly, but sometimes that's just life. I'll return as soon as possible. Sorry everyone!] Zhao Gang, after hundreds of thousands of years cultivating, has finally reached the penultimate threshold. He is ready to ascend to the level of True Immortal. Driven by the need for a place his enemies won't find him, Zhao Gang puts together an audacious plan. He has developed a revolutionary new formation which will allow him to ascend while on even the lowest planes. To avoid drawing attention, he has to choose a plane that is relatively desolate, however. He chooses Earth. Fast forward three thousand years. Zhao Gang discovers what his work has wrought - a cultivation-free culture that has delved the deep mysteries of creation - he can't help but think how this tiny little planet devoid of natural energy could affect the course of all creation. There's only one problem. For that to happen, he has to succeed in cultivating Earth. Notes: Chinese names should be ignored in the social context - they don't mean anything. Sorry for slaughtering such a beautiful tradition. This novel starts off slower than most. If the slow-roll isn't your thing, you might want to give this a pass. If it's not for you, I understand. Also, releases may be broken up into smaller chunks. The goal is 5k words, but definitely more than 4k. If you see a short release, be aware that more is probably coming. I'll be honest and say that I'm struggling with each new scene, if only because I want to balance the scope of vision with good pacing. I hope the work I put into it is worthwhile.

The Dungeon Calls for a Sage
Archimedes was the ego behind one of the most powerful dungeons ever created. He grew and developed his halls, filling them with powerful monsters and beasts, over the course of thousands of years. He was a grand structure of ten thousand floors which even heroes had failed to defeat. However, an Evil God had come from another world, calling himself the Demon King, and a party of heroes were sent to do battle with it. Through their victory, they obtained enough strength to breeze through Archimedes' dungeon like it was nothing. Forseeing the end of his life, and realizing how pointless his pursuit of power had been, Archimedes destroyed himself, taking the heroes down with him. Still, Archimedes felt despair that he had lived a worthless life as something as pitiful and futile as a dungeon. Sensing his regret and potential, the voice of the world presented Archimedes with the chance to start anew and live a more meaningful life. Thrilled and hopeful for the first time in eons, Archimedes accepted the offer, only to be reborn again as a dungeon core with not a single room or monster to his name. Just what was the meaning of this?! Archimedes couldn't figure out what the voice of the world was thinking. Somehow, he would have to draw a sage into his dungeon to figure it out for him. _______________________ DCS is now a member of the WriTEr's Pledge, which means I have sworn to see it through to a satisfying end.
