《Giant Love》Chapter 5 - I Remember You
Advertisement
The manager locked his restaurant as both younger boys stayed in. He walked up to them as he laughed and paced around them. He noticed both were fidgeting
"I haven't introduced myself properly. My name's Technoblade, but you can call me Techno, the Blade, or the king of hunters. This is not a restaurant as you see. I use it as a disguise to lure people to have a word with them. Outside looks nice, but inside it's not what you think."
They looked at Techno holding a photo, "You see this? These are my parents. They were famous for slaying giants. I heard there's one alive. Not just any giant, the lone survivor. He survived because its parents hid their child. A human and a giant cannot fall in love, but the human gave birth to a giant. I want it and I think both of you know where it lives."
Dream froze. He remembers. He looks at Techno and his eyes widened.
I Remember You!
POV in the Past
A scream was heard. It was female. Their son is half human, half giant. The father is pure giant
The child was in his giant form. His mother was shot by a female hunter
His father was killed with a giant harpoon. The human male roared with victory
The giant child cried. His tears streamed towards the river
He heard a child and turned to see it fear the fallen giant. Its father hugged him
His pink hair flowed in the breeze as his mother hugged him with care
"We will protect you, Technoblade. One day, you will hunt their child. Let it run free. Give it time and you can go after the half human half giant!"
The child feared. His blonde hair shining as the sun glowed. How were they not caught?

He ran and found a cave. It was similar to his home, but smaller
He settled in and cried. He vowed revenge. He wants them dead. He will kill their son even if it means crushing his body with his hands, stomping on his fragile body, or ripping his limbs apart as if plucking them. One. By. One. Slow. Painful. And enjoyable.
Back to Present
He remembered. Techno is the son of the ones who killed his parents. Techno's mother killed his mother, and the father killed his giant father. They were heroes to the people, but to Dream, he was a murder. His new plot for vengeance. His...new toy
George saw Dream clutching his fists. He could see fury, sadness, and revenge in those emerald eyes. George knew from Techno saying giant slayers, they had killed Dream's parents. He knew Dream wanted revenge
George hugged the tall blonde. He wanted Dream to calm down. It worked. Dream felt his face heat up as he saw the short brunette placing his head on his chest. Techno smiled, "So, are you 2 a couple or something?"
Dream's smile faded. His gaze turned back to Techno. He clenched his teeth. He lunged at Techno and held him against the wall. "DREAM!" George yelled. Techno grunted as he pushed Dream off. He threw a punch, but Dream dodged
Dream grabbed Techno and threw him on the other side of the 'restaurant'. Techno smiled, then laughed, then laughed uncontrollably. "So it's you! You are the child! You are the survivor!" Techno says as he grabbed a knife
"It is! I am the one you have been hunting all these years!" Dream says as he grabbed Techno's arm, making the knife point at him. "I never met a half-ling. You are half human and half giant, you have the color of your mother's eyes, the ability of both, and the strength of a giant," the hunter says as Dream flung him across again

He grabbed George's hand and both rushed. They ran as fast as they could, but they could feel the hunter following them. They went inside the college and into their dorm. Techno passed by as he lost their trail. George looked over and noticed Techno running off
: Why, Dream? Why did you tell him it was you?
: He killed them!
: Not exactly him, but his parents
: I vowed to kill their son
: Dream! This is isn't you! Please! Listen to yourself! You're scaring me!
Dream stopped. He saw George trembling. For the first time, George feared the giant. Dream bowed his head and tears rolled down. He jumped out of the window. He grew back to his normal giant height
"Dream?" George jumps off as Dream catches him. George was once again on Dream's hands, only this time, it felt different. Dream moved his hand closer to his face, "I have to. I made a promise to my parents. Don't be scared. I promise I will protect you."
George blushed. He felt the hand move as Dream hugged the tiny brunette. George tried to get out of the giant hug. Dream felt the tiny human struggling. He broke the hug as George pointed at his face. Dream moved George to his face. He felt a small touch. A kiss on his nose
Dream blushed. He heard George say, "I love you, Dream. Please, don't go." Dream smiled. He placed George on the floor and scrunched down. He rubbed his cheek on George's body. George laughed as he looked at Dream's eyes. "I love you too, Georgie," Dream says as George blushes at the nickname
He felt Dream's hand wrapping around his small body as he closed his hand. George loved the firm grip and the hand wrapping around his body. He felt warm, calm, and safe. His eyes fluttered as he drifted to sleep
Dream placed the human in his pocket and ran to his cave. He lied facing the ceiling as he placed his hand to blanket George. He feels a small touch as George grabbed Dream's finger to use as his blanket
Dream smiled. He had his George. He wanted to protect him no matter what. Even if it means showing the people he's the final giant. He will have to prepare for Techno. He has to be ready. The hunter might even use George to Dream's advantage

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.

"Hey, that's our song." A voice said from behind him. Izuku snapped his attention to the two guys sitting on the stairs of his front door. "It's stuck in my head because neither of you seem to have common courtesy to practice somewhere else." Izuku snapped back, not wanting to deal with either of the arrogant males.Shoto seemed unfazed by his attitude. "You've got a nice voice." He mused. Izuku eyed him suspiciously, not trusting his compliment. "Thanks I guess." He muttered. "Wanna join a band?"
