I have already told you the story of Major
Now it's time for the tale of someone ill-natured.
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅
Our story today
Will still be the way
As to how the Ancient Greeks told it.
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅
Little Queen Cassie was a proud royal lassie
And she was nothing but sassy.
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅
One fateful day,
She had more than her say,
Said that no one could rival her sheer beauty,
Not even the sea nymphs, the Nereids.
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅
Poseidon was the god of the sea
And irritated by her boasting was he.
So he sent a monster,
By the name of Cetus
To ravage the kingdom 'til it was treeless.
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅
In an attempt to pacify the beast,
Cassie tied her daughter, Andromeda, to a rock by the sea.
Cetus was ready to devour the child,
When Perseus the hero, looked down and was surprised,
He swooped down to save her
And lived happily ever after, they were.
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅
Pleased were the gods
And they were sent to the heavens as stars.
However for Cassie, our proud little lassie,
Was tied to a chair before being thrown above.
And that is why,
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅
Sometimes at night,
You'll see her being bound to a chair,
Still hanging upside-down.

A-Live AI
The year is 2247. For almost two hundred years Sentient AI research has been banned. Everyone knew this, and yet no one has ever given up on finding the perfect setup for it. Restricted AI are rare, but possible to get ahold of if you have the money and the clout to get through the law for it. Especially when it deals with the military. Alfred Homis is an engineer and has spent the last three years working for the United Terran Military's Research and Exploration Department. Specifically to help build a 'shackled' AI who's prime directive was to explore potentially habitable worlds. Worlds that are far cheaper to colonize and add to the United Terran Directorate's fold than terraforming. During the AI's maiden voyage things go horribly wrong, taking Alfred Homis along for the ride. Thrown into a parallel universe where the laws of physics are just a little messed up, Alfred finds himself trapped inside the very machine he'd helped to build. Add magic, hostile fantasy creatures, and two different pantheons of 'Gods' to the mix and things get even more complicated. Oh, and an invasion between universes to boot. But that's just all in a days work though for Alfred, the AI Lord. Authors Note: Hi guys! Long time no see. And yes, I know that's all on me. But I blame life for that. Anyway, this is my new work, and I hope you guys enjoy it! The chapters are a little shorter than I'd previously posted in my other stories, but I cannot say that I have the same amount of time or energy to write them like that anymore. Sorry about that. Still, some warnings: There is cursing in this story. I am not going to edit it out. There will be sexual content later. Blood, gore and cruel depictions are all planned. If that isn't your thing, I'd suggest you turn back now. There is also my dry, and often not-so-funny sense of humor. And oh, it's all in first person gain. Haha. I just tend to write better that way. If none of that bothers you, then enjoy the read! Feel free to comment, point out mistakes, or make suggestions! Reviews are nice too, but please lay off the criticism until the story gets good and going. Thank you. Note 1: Some edits to the synopsis.

The Joy of Evolution
"Alright, so I have this idea, a completely original one by the way, never done before." I say. "Alright, lets hear it." You reply happily. "What if you got trapped in the body of a tentacle monster that looks like a virus in a world that is like a videogame, with skills and... whoops slip of the tendril there, what I meant to say is Mutations and Levels as you evolve your way up from being that lowly creature into a slightly better lowly creature, all the while, an evil devil person watches over you for entertainment purposes." I say making weird hand gestures across the table. "Oh and that main character used to be a human male and uses its past experience as one to survive in this new world as a little mass of flesh." I pull out a little ball with suction cup tendrils and show you. "So, what do you think?" " I dont know seems, a little sameish, I think Im gonna go." You say as you start to get up from your worn but still plush velvet chair. "Wait" I sigh, " I didnt want to do this but you leave me no choice, I promise you an extremely diverse harem..." The door closes as you leave. "They'll come back." I say hopeful. Cover: https://phil.cdc.gov/Details.aspx?pid=21073
