《Doctor Who : The Emerging Robots》The Robots

Approaching the truck to get changed into his original attire per say, the Doctor was anxious as to why time had frozen. Something was clearly wrong if he could move but nothing else could. The pink rainbow shirt was in a heap on the sand ridden floor next to the white coat. He loved these clothes but knew not all galaxies and universes would appreciate how a man was dressed in an odd style related to that of a woman. He kicked the coat in an act of frustration in which he forgot it was indeed frozen. The pain began to kick in almost instantly as he hopped vigorously. The boots he never took off were removed so he could bend his toes back into place. Out of nowhere, he let out a death-defying screech.
"Holy Mary Mother of Alpha Centauri, the place around me is froz-, oh wait we've done that part. It's now the time when I somehow realise what exactly is going on. But what is going on ? And who is controlling this if it is being controlled ?" There was no response. "Yep, thanks Graham." He reminisce about the old times with his old companions and Graham's often sarcastic tone of voice when the Doctor was either acting strange or stupid. "Ah dear. Oh hold on, what in the red name of Mars is that ?" A ship began lowering down towards where the Doctor's feet were placed. It was somewhat identical to the craft targeting the defenceless man as he dangled from the TARDIS' phone line. The green smoke that sprayed out at the bottom sides suffocated the Doctor as he made no attempt to run from the unknown. It landed with no noise but a soft shut off sound signalling the Doctor that the pilots of this ship had departed the cockpit. His face dropped as he gulped in what seemed to be fear or anticipation. Then the door opened...

"We want the Doctor and the Doctor only. Time crash to be set to activate in 30 Earth minutes. Do not move. You will be shot on sight. Stay exactly where you stand."
He was to obey what the voice said. "I would like to see who I am being instructed to do these orders by."
"Stay where you are. You will be shot on sight."
"I would like to address my adversary by staring them in the face. Please step forward."
That statement was enough to emerge some movement as two left metal feet came out of the blinding white light. What looked like two large metal men holding rifles of some sort engaged into attack mode. The end of the guns were pressed firmly against the confused man's head as he raised his hands above his head in order to surrender.
"Before you do try and kill me, can I please get an exclusive tour of your ship? I've always wanted to see inside a spaceship."
"Silence."
"Wait. Are you alien ? You're alien aren't you ?"
"If you we let you onboard, will you shut up ?"
"Almost instantly, you have my word."
"Then we shall begin."
"Before I go inside, can I ask who are you ?"
"And what relevance is it to you ?"
"Well you've already let me onboard your ship so what else is there to reveal but who you are."
"We are Sedranstak. We are intergalactic bounty hunters. Our goal is to capture as many time ships as possible so we can sell them off on our galaxy's marketplace. We capture ships by freezing time, permanently if we have to and your ship is the best find we've had so far. In our gratefulness we thank you."
"Believe me, it was an accident."

The Book of Mors: Summoned
Around two thousand years ago, The world of Acoria suffered what is known as The Great Calamity, turning the continent of Teknish into a smouldering wasteland, irradiated by chaotic mana and ravaged by savage energy storms, causing the surviving sentient races to flee to the much smaller and resource deficient continent of Malthasia. The year is now 2101 AGC (After Great Cataclysm) and the intense competition for space and resources has left humanity with only three surviving kingdoms, protected by the nearly impassable mountains of the Antaeth basin. Standing on the verge of collapse, the human kingdom of Vonai is forced to perform a summoning ritual, ripping souls from another dimension and implanting them into magically created bodies. Little do they know that by doing so, they have changed the fate of the world and everyone in it, for, in the infinite dimensions of the mortal realm, there are some existences you do not want to provoke. BOM:Summoned: 2-3 releases per week Evolution tree dynamics Limited stats/Game style mechanics Mature language/Graphic Violence Varying paces between action/adventure and information based chapters Special Thanks To: Solfyr - Contributor and inspirational genius

Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire
Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.
