《My Magical System 》Chapter 33: Finger Bullet
Advertisement
The stone he thrown traveled like a bullet of a pistol. And it hit at the rat's forehead squarely. Blood spurted and splattered around when the stone penetrated the skull of the knuckle-user rat. Only the trailing red light was remained visible for a half-second after Yeman fired the stone which enveloped by his glowing bright red.
The glowing bright red was the Finger Bullet skill. It hardened an object and increased its penetration force. Not only that, it also doubled his damage and whatever he threw would travel like a bullet. It affected his finger strength as well with the addition of his speed and strength stats.
He was wondering when he first tried using the skill because it was an unusual kind of skill. How could it be that his flick was able to fire like a pistol? He was puzzled and excited at the same time. That's why he tried using it at the monsters above. But after seeing the result of the skill, he became addicted.
He felt like he was firing a real pistol; however, his aim was a little bit off at 50 meters and higher distance. Even at 40-49 meter was no good as well. But at 30 and below he could aim at any part of the enemy in a spot-on accuracy. Yeman thought that maybe he needed more dexterity to increase his distance of accuracy.
Since he leveled up after killing the monsters. He decided to add points to his dexterity. He also added some points to his agility and vitality.
He was testing his skill and lost count of time while continuing to kill the monsters until no one had remained. Since he was still not satisfied, he decided to step down and entered the said sewer.
But he was surprised after entering because only the strange smell could resemble the sewer and anything aside from that was not a sewer-like place. After walking 30 meters in a straight path he was greeted by a spacious room.

The room had a wide of 20 square meters. And the hight of the ceiling from the ground was at 15-18 meters tall, this was only Yeman's estimation. He's wondering what kind of place was this. In the middle of the room, there was something that resembled an altar?
That's not all, there were also giant cylinders that even a middle-age man could enter without difficulty. About 8 huge dusted cylinders that were surrounding the altar and were connected to each other through rusted pipe tubes. The pipe tubes were one and a half bigger than an ordinary size bamboo.
Yeman first impression was— the place looked like an abandoned facility or an old laboratory. Although the cylinders weren't as polished as the cylinders in the modern era of the earth it was still a cylinder that usually could be seen inside a facility or laboratory; however, no computers or any widescreen monitor that was usually used in a modern era facility or laboratory could be seen inside.
In this room, Yeman had noticed another thing. That there were many crevices located in walls, grounds, and even at the ceiling. After a few moments, he heard a warning from his pet Elder Priest.
From these crevices, rats with name Rat Crawlers above their head jumped out of the hole. The supposed to be three fingers on their hands was replaced by claws. These claws were too sharp that could even tear the wall around the room. Maybe even the rusted pipe tubes would tear apart if hit by these claws.
They ambushed him and attacked in all front. They don't even give care to Elder Priest which standing alone at the side while watching the ongoing fight. Maybe they still have thought that Elder Priest was one of them.
Elder Priest was ordered by Yeman to not interfere with the battle.

The approaching attacks of Rat Crawlers were quick and fast. Some of them tried to grab Yeman's feet, maybe to drag him below the ground. Even Yeman felt the threat if these fellows succeeded in dragging him into the ground. Yeman believed that these crawlers seemed the agile type of enemy. But before their claws landed on their target, the target has gone without a trace.
Question marks floated above their head and a moment later, the monster cries and groans could be overheard inside this mysterious room. One by one the monsters fell down with wounds in different parts of their bodies. It looks like these monsters have no perception ability either. They couldn't catch him when he was using his sneak skill.
Some of the monsters have rolled an object which unknown for Yeman. Well, since he didn't bring his backpack he could only take one.
Not only the monsters rolled an object from their bodies, but Yeman also receives Soul Points every time he killed a monster.
He wasn't able to kill all the Rat Crawlers, because some of them managed to escape into the crevices.
Yeman glanced at his pet Elder Priest. Above its head was a green bar and above the green bar was its name and level. On its level displayed the number 17. The Elder Priest had 2 available skills as of now. The first one was Health Regeneration and the Second skill was Minor Heal.
Yeman tried to ask his pet about the room but it seemed even Elder Priest have no idea of what this room was.
They continued their advance until they encountered the knuckle user rat.
But with Yeman's Finger Bullet skill, the rats couldn't even manage to get closed.
Until they encountered an armor-wearing rat. Yeman was having difficulty in killing the kind of rat because it wielded a shield on its left hand. His Finger Bullet couldn't penetrate the shield.
The armor-wearing rat tried to bump by tackling him. But Yeman again used his sneak skill. And a question mark floated above the monster's head.
He appeared behind the monster and touched its head using his left hand. Suddenly the monster was enveloped by electricity. Then it fell limply on the ground and lost its ability to move.
But the monster wasn't dead. It was still breathing but couldn't move. All of a sudden, a smile leaked on Yeman's face.

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.

Bookworld Online: Marsh Man
Welcome dear friends, to the Virtual Reality Full Immersion System called Bookworld Online! Your name is David Drake and you are a 10 year old slave to the Marsh Hag. You were bought from your parents when you were only a small child at two years old. You don't really remember your old family at all. That's a good thing, since you would hate them on sight for selling you to her. All you've know for your whole life is pain. You are usually quickly healed and receive a lot of training and experience as her unofficial apprentice. It's unofficial because she would never pay to have you registered as an actual apprentice. To everyone else, you are just the boy she took pity on and brought into her home. What they don't know is that you are much more than that. So much more. You are her food. She uses you as her own personal buffet and she indulges herself quite often. You even have the permanent scars to prove it. You have learned many things from her, mostly without her knowing, since you have been helping more and more with her spell work the last few years and her potion making. The only parts you can't do are the magic condensing rituals that her potions require and the mana infusions that a lot of her other creations need. Do you wish to initiate the Main Storyline with these parameters? Please Note: I publish daily.Second Note: I changed this story to a fan fiction. It is based on Swamp Boy. The old story is about 4 years old and was dropped after 19 long chapters. The author hasn't been online since then, so I figured it was safe to do my own take on it.
