《Humanity’s Next Steps》Humans Are What Happened
Advertisement
"Hello, Class," said Professor Smith. "Welcome to Cybernetic Ethics 101.
The teacher proceeded with a one-hour lecture covering a timeline of the development and future of cybernetics.
A student raised their hand, "Professor, what happened to the androids?"
"Hmm." Professor Smith paced back and forth. "This class is about human augmentation, but there is a course I teach on 'The Rise and Fall of AI,' and, to put it briefly, humans are what happened."
"Humans?" the student raised their antennas behind their ears, looking perplexed.
"Yes, humans," the teacher nodded. "Around 275 years ago, there was a major fear of humans losing their role and value in society, so our One Earth government passed a long verbose law, but to put it simply, AI and intelligent automation may assist humans but never replace them. So began our cybernetic journey and augmented evolution."
"You mean back in those primitive days when people had AI assistants and robotic servants?"
"Correct, and …” Professor Smith pointed to their head, “now it's all up in here."

It all goes terribly wrong, and Cairn finds his priorities shifting in the face of unimaginable tragedy. The change of heart comes too late, however, and Cairn dies. He reawakens to find himself transported ten years in the past. He immediately begins to plan for the future, only to discover his killer has somehow followed him. To succeed, Cairn must unite the kingdom and discover the motivation of his killer, using as many tries as it takes. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I exhausted pretty much every time loop story ever written and decided to write my own. You'll see a few similarities here between this story and some existing stories, at least initially. There's a lot of inspiration drawn from both MoL and Re:Zero, though in terms of pathos and darkness, this story leans more towards the latter. Be warned, it is something of a slow burn. The main character will grow and become powerful, but a theme of this story is that power comes slowly and often at great cost.

TTWN: The Tale of Will Newbie
This series is inspired by the music of TheFatRat, please take a look if you don't know who he is here. Everyone wants to live in a fantasy world, right up until they have to face dark beings beyond their comprehension. Everyone wants to be a hero, right up until every day becomes a fight for their life. Sixteen-year-old introvert Will Newbie lives in a fantasy world. He's the hero of this story. He has been left with nothing; after a brief adventure in the mountains near his home, he returns to find his entire home missing, every person mysteriously vanishing into thin air. All that's left for him is his rather, "disembodied" older sister and the quest given to him by a rat-turned-god: Gather a team of Champions, fight back against the forces of Sin, and save the world. But if he's learned anything, it's that being a hero isn't as easy as it sounded in the books. So, he'll have to keep himself together, keep his team from tearing each other apart, and figure out just how much he's willing to sacrifice for what he believes in. Any feedback is greatly appreciated! This is my first fully written story, so I want to improve. Positive or negative, I'll take it into account! I will try to update weekly every Friday, but as I'm pretty new to this kinda grind expect some irregularities. The covers are also by moi, done in Pixel Studio. Quite proud of them, really.
