《More than friends》A big mistake : Jason's perspective : part 4
Advertisement
We left camp half-blood the morning after, with supplies, food, our weapons and extra clothes. We also got poison. Just in case we couldnt kill the monster. What Rachel said, was blurry, the words were not connected at al. Apparently we just have to find the answer later. I look at the words I wrote down when she spoke. "Hungry hatred, grief and pain, will take the courage from the sane. Cursefull man shall Pierce the blade, and love will have to make a trade". What could that mean? It did not sound good. I look at Percy, hes sittning in front of me in the train. Clarisse sitts beside me. I guess they dont want to sitt close to each other. Hes looking out through the window, like hes lost. Then he looks at me. His eyes are so empty, It just makes me more curious about what might have happened to him. He blushes and looks away. I wonder why. Someone speaks through the speakers. " Next station in 2 minutes" That's where we're going of.

Nobody says anything when we get out, the silence is unbearable. I cant handle it anymore. "Okay, so whats up with you two?" I ask. They glare at eachother. "Hm, maybe the fact that Percy's a jerk?" Clarisse answer with a nasty tone. Percy is looking at Clarisse like he might hitt her. "What did you-" I interuppt Percy. "Look, we're a team, we must cooperate. Lets talk about that prophecy-" Clarisse interuppts me. "I have nothing to say, lets just go and finnish this thing" she passes Percy and me. Im starting to get a bad feeling about this trio. Percy looks at me strange. "Is there something you want to say?" I ask carefully. "Hm... No. Maybe later" that boy confuses me. Still, when hes happy, he's such a nice person, his personality and kindness and care makes me feel a lot for him. The confusing part is that I dont really know what I feel for him and it scares me because it might be feelings that Ive not felt before for him. I reallize Clarisse and Percy is already ahead of me so I run after them to catch up.

The Madec Legacy
The dawn of Emotion Based A.I.s is here, John is the fifth test subject to have an AI implemented in his brain, and so far the first one to survive. Blinded by the dream of immortality, the researchers push the tests to inhumane standards. John is obligated to take part in sessions of torture designed to test the limits of the AI influence over the physical and mental health. What was supposed to be a new beginning in life turns into living hell. An (un)lucky twist ends his life. John then reincarnates with his AI in a new world where a System influences the interaction between Magic and Matter. With seemingly limitless potential and a game-like system influencing the world, the hero sets on his journey. --AUTHOR NOTE, PLEASE READ-- I will state here my promises to you, potential reader: 1. No harem! I don't trust myself to make a harem feel natural or healthy, I never met any person who has a personality that can adapt and live in a harem for reasons that are not monetary, so I can't draw inspiration from real life. Sorry!; 2. The enemies will not be bland and illogically mean. Some may feel like that at first, but I will take great care in fleshing them out, trust me. You may end up hating some, but you won't be able to deny that they had their reasons for what they did; 3. I am using a paid (and expensive) automated editor tool, and I take longer to write because I take my time in editing the stuff. I am aiming to improve and I will not shy away from constructive criticism, nor take offense for no reason; 4. Characters will die and will suffer, some will get over the tragedies and improve, others will not be as resilient. 5. This novel has a lot of ground to cover, it is neither a short story, a manual on crafting, or the script of some action scene. There will be both time skips and oversimplifications of some actions for the sake of moving the story forward. Time skips will be more prominent in the first 30 chapters. I will describe crafting processes and fights with more detail if they are essential for the chapter; 6. If I took my time describing something, it's because it is important. I hate novels that waste time describing useless stuff. If you skim over something, the chances are that something in the future will not make sense. I am an adept of "Chekhov's gun" principle; 7. I already have 31k words on my auxiliary documents, I have a plan for the story, and I will not be making changes even if someone ends up noticing some foreshadowing and figures out what will happen. The story comes first. 8. I have a wife, a job that demands 9h every day and courses related to my job (lawyer) three days of the week, it's unlikely that I will be able to do mass releases at all. I will have a healthy amount of chapters to be able to post at least 1 chapter every day continually. Don't worry. 9. I will read all the comments. I will listen to all you have to say and will try my best to accommodate demands as long as they do not hamper the path I prepared. 10. There is an arc that spans the entire novel. Each volume will be an arc in itself while progressing a little bit of the main arc. Every arc will have one or more main antagonists. I think that's it! Thank you for reading it all. Have an awesome time reading my first novel!!

8 129The Fire Within Can Be Scary
In a fantasy world similar to ours, magic worked similarly to physics, with each elemental spirit magic being tied to a state of matter. Earth is solid.Water is liquidAir is gas.Fire is plasma. Four elements, four states of matter. However in the ancient world of Hitarea, "Plasma" hadn't been discovered yet. The people of this world believe that only three states of matter existed, and thus, only three elemental magic could exist. For years, Earth, Water, and Air stood alone as the three main elements from which all others originated. Advanced arts like metal from earth, or Ice from water were only extensions of their original element . . . so what does that make Fire? Fire is powerful as the earth with its mighty explosions, flexible like water as it writhes around in the air, and swift like the wind. All at the same time. Fire, in regards to combat, is the most powerful element by far. This fearsome power is Alden's to master, but this power is a double-edged sword. One shouldn't play around with fire if you don't want to be burned. The fire within can be scary, you know?
