《Death… And Me》Death... And Me
Advertisement
Back in the Varen Tribe, Rean and Roan were not wasting time. During these last three weeks, their cultivation had been increasing smoothly. By now, they already can feel signs of entering the Middle Stage of the Energy Gathering Realm.
Other than that, the classes continued. Inna Malaka got even more proficient in her Staff while Rivio started to show results with his Spear. Rivio was absolutely not Inna's match, but he was the only one who dared to challenge her other than Rean and Roan.
Rean's Swordsmanship was improving as fast as Inna's Staff. Considering that he also has an adult mind, his progress was more polished, though. As for Roan, he didn't really need to practice with weapons at the moment. Only when there was Spiritual Energy involved would he put some thought on it.
Three days ago, Roan's manual of Swordsmanship, the Death Style, finally caused a change.
[Congratulations, hosts. The Varen Tribe's whole power has increased thanks to the new Sword Style. Hosts are rewarded with 10 Destiny Points. More points will be generated once a few warriors of the Tribe Master the Death Style.]
Although Rean and Roan were happy to hear that, 10 destiny points wouldn't have any use at the moment, so they kept their training days.
Finally, an entire month went by, and Juri returned with the first fruits of their efforts. After calling Alanda, Rean, and Roan over, he started to give a full explanation of the events in the city.
"During the first three weeks, we were still not in a partnership with the Zafa bank. That means that we sold the 300 Steel Swords on our own, and didn't have to share their payments. In total, almost 60 thousand Spirit Stones were earned during that time. After that, we started to forge Steel Equipment again. Also, because of the spread of the Varen Workshop's name, quite a few customers were waiting for it to be opened."

"Still, I decided to not mix the Spirit Stones earned before the partnership with the ones acquired after. So I only brought the ones from the first Steel Swords. You know, these 60 thousand Spirit Stones are more than what our entire Tribe can make after three whole months of work in the Mine. We just took three weeks to do such a thing. Rean, are you sure you only want 30%? I really don't mind offering more. You are helping of Tribe Greatly at the moment."
Rean shook his head.
"Just make sure to distribute a good amount to the kids in our class. 30% is more than enough for Roan and me. Seventeen thousand is truly an amount that we won't be able to consume anytime soon. Oh, right. Inna Malaka is really improving extremely fast, so give her some extra ones. Her blue aptitude is really frightening."
Alanda couldn't help but sigh.
"Her progress is frightening? What about you two then? Even your cultivation speed is higher than anyone. The only reason Inna is improving faster is that her cultivation is lower than yours. Once she reaches your level, she definitely won't be able to compare."
Roan shook his head.
"Our case is too special. Using us as a comparison is not the right thing to do."
Juri nodded and didn't ask anymore. He then applied 10% of those Spirit Stones in the new class and had Alanda taking care of the rest.
The next day, the entire Tribe went in an uproar. Suddenly, all the payments of Spirit Stones for the warriors and ordinary people increased. Although it wasn't much since the Tribe has over 10 thousand people, it was still a happy event for everyone.
Rean and Roan's classes received the most significant boost. 10% of the 60 thousand Spirit Stones were injected there. Inna Malaka's family was the most shocked to see those spirit stones. After all, she brought home almost 500 of them! Together, Alanda explained the situation.

"As you know, she is a Blue Level talent, so the Tribe is investing in her future. Make sure to support her accordingly, and don't waste the Spirit Stones."
Her family quickly accepted Alanda's words. Those Spirit Stones would indeed help her a lot with her path of cultivation. Of course, Inna is still clueless about her real Aptitude Color.
Rean and Roan returned home with a few big boxes. However, no one knew what was inside. Even the warriors carrying it had no idea. Rean called Diakar and Opril inside and then closed the entire house. Now, only his parents, Roan, and their two protectors were present.
Turen and Hamarlia couldn't help but feel puzzled by that situation.
"Rean, what is happening here? And what are all those boxes?"
Rean smiled and then kicked one of the boxes open. Immediately, spiritual energy started to flow out due to a large amount of Spirit Stones inside. Seeing that, both their parents and protectors were shocked! They had never seen so many Spirit Stones before.
But instead of happiness, Turen, the twin's father, got concerned instead.
"Rean, Roan, what is the meaning of this? Where did all those Spirit Stones come from?"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Hearing that, Rean and Roan faintly smiled. The people in this room don't know about their past lives, so they needed someone more influential to clarify the things for Diakar, Opril, Turen, and Hamarlia.
When Hamarlia opened the door, she almost had a fright.
"Tr-Tribe Leader Juri! Please, quickly, come in!"
Opril, Diakar, and Turen immediately stood up and bowed to Juri.
Juri smiled and nodded.
"I see that you already received the Spirit Stones I gave you."
Hamarlia and Turen were taken aback.
"Was is Tribe Leader who gave it to us? How could be there so many?"
Juri laughed and then explained.
"Don't worry, this is the correct amount. You just have to understand that Rean and Roan made an enormous contribution to the Tribe, so this is their payment. They also asked me if they could let you use those Spirit Stones, and I agreed. I'm only here to put your minds at ease. Unfortunately, I can't let them tell you how they helped the Tribe at the moment since it is a secret. I hope you don't mind."
Turen and Alanda wee still shocked by it. But since the one who came was Juri, they could only accept. As long as their children didn't do anything wrong, then it is okay.
"Thank you, Tribe Leader. We understand."
Juri nodded before turning around and leaving.
Hamarlia, Turen, Diakar, and Opril looked at the twins and didn't know what to say.
Rean, on the other hand, just laughed.
"Father, Mother, there is no need to worry too much. Tribe Leader already confirmed that there is no problem, so go ahead and use the Spirit Stones. Diakar and Opril are free to use it too. As our protectors, you need to get strong as well."
In the end, they could only nod.

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.

Journey West 5000
With her parents murdered and her brother abducted, a trainee Monk of the Gun pursues the one responsible, the Bull Demon King, undefeated Warlord of the Crimson Army.Struggling to track down her enemy while braving the dangers of the wilds, she enlists the help of Sun Wukong, but 500 years under a mountain have taken its toll. Unstable and weakened, will he be more hindrance than help? Can he become the warrior he once was?A Monk and a Monkey journey across a world...... where the remnants of technology are seen as magic, while pockets of humanity strive to drag themselves out of ignorance.... where the descendants of animal-human hybrids, once created as instruments of war, now seek to dominate the world as demons.... where beings who call themselves Immortals and Gods preoccupy themselves with selfish pastimes, ignoring everything else. Among other things, a story about growth, grit, and being better than the person you were yesterday. Here's my rambling on why I'm writing Journey West 5000. Journey West 5000 is my crazy ambitious writing project to adapt a classic epic called "Journey to the West" for a global, modern audience. It's a sci-fi story disguised as fantasy, and has some road trip + monster of the week elements (as does the original Journey to the West). No system, definitely no harem, gradual power progression. Hmm, what else can I put here so potential readers know what to expect? My writing style for now is mostly "show don't tell", because I believe that readers don't need to have everything pointed out to them, and that they should be allowed to make up their own minds about characters based on the actions of those characters. I'm also trying to be less long-winded (a weakness pointed out by some friends) in order to write according to something Neil Gaiman said, which is to write as though I'm the one who has to pay for every word, not the reader. This will bring down my chapter word counts, and might drive away potential readers, but I believe there's value in learning to compress and be concise. All chapters posted here will have been edited. Constructive criticism, comments, and feedback would be very much welcome and appreciated. Please, please help point out any typos or grammatical mistakes, I'm striving to minimize those as much as possible. Above all, I hope you enjoy my story.
