《Love Agreement With The King》Chapter 130 - Hallucinations
Advertisement
After walking for few more minutes and having beaten countless packs of creatures, they finally reached the dwelling where John resided when he was reigning that land.
"Here we are," John said, in a murmur. His gaze traveled toward his mansion that was almost unrecognizable. It had been fully destroyed and on the few remaining pieces of walls that surrounded the dwelling were written insults with blood.
John shook his head, "this is my reward for having kept peace for so long?" he pointed at the writings.
The sage took a long breath, facepalming his face in disappointment, "they don't know what they are doing and are too eccentric and power-driven to understand the consequences of their actions."
Maybe the sage was right, John thought to himself yet it wasn't a plausible reason to create so much destruction to a terra that just gave them life and tranquillity. The only creatures he had killed were the ones who dared to oppose his will and misbehave, besides that John had always been caring toward their needs.
"Let's get our father." John groaned when his eyes widened and flashed an intense red light gazing at his brother whose nodded.
Then he turned around to gaze at Roselyn and the sage, once they nodded he entered inside by climbing over the remains of his mansion.
A light came from inside, he kept walking climbing over the mass of shards, followed by his allies.
The more he walked and he reached the light's source he began to feel weaker and weaker. Voices echoed inside his mind and his view blurred while his head spun. Visions of his father's death drifted into his mind and harassed him so much that his head began to pulse and ache. He squeezed his eyes, but the visions became even clearer like if he was living that scene on repetition.

The same happened to the sage and John's brother, the sage shook his head vigorously trying to keep his wife's vision away from his head but the more he tried to oppose the more that vision clarified inside his mind. It looked so real… she was calling his name, stretching her hand for him to take and smiling at him so widely that for some instant he forgot he was hallucinating. He smiled at her, so happy to finally see her again.
He wanted to hug her to wrap his hands around her and finally melt in her embrace, after all those years he was finally seeing her.
Roselyn felt the usual dark cloud, this time it was reaching the sage, she widened her eyes when she pictured him dying trying to reach his wife. She couldn't let him die, she called him and tried to shook him but he was in the trace, empty gazing and smiling. His head moved from side to side harmoniously like if he was following a melody that someone sang for him.
"That is not real!" Roselyn screamed aloud in all her voice when she gazed around and saw John and his brother also hallucinating and shaking.
"Wake up!" She shook the sage's shoulders again. What was happening to them? And why was she immune from that attack?
The sage became paler and his lips became livid, a murmur escaped from his mouth, "we're finally together."
"No!" Roselyn screamed, her eyes filled with tears when she saw the black fog plunging into the sage's body. The man fell onto the ground, his eyes slowly closed but a smile on his face remained until he gave his last breath.
Who was so strong to do that? To kill someone just by making them vision something?

Roselyn swallowed down, she was alone. Her allies were all hallucinating and only God knew if they would ever fight back the vision and wake up from that lethal hallucination.
An intense light appeared in front of her and just when it faded Roselyn was able to flinch her head and looked at it.
"John!" She heard William's voice and ran toward him. His legs and his wrists were tied up with a rope.
"We will save you," Roselyn whispered to him, bent down to untie the rope that impeded him to move. The King once free stood up and gestured with his head toward a way out.
Roselyn nodded to him and took few steps in that direction until she suddenly stopped. It was too easy, and John was still behind. A good father would never leave his son alone and behind just to flee.
"What?" William asked frowned, puzzled by Roselyn's sudden stoppage.
"I am hallucinating too." She said, taking few steps backward.
"Roselyn!" William or better who looked like William raised his voice and called her pointing at the direction they were heading in.
"You are not him!" Roselyn screamed, staring at the person in front of her straight in his eyes.
"Don't be silly, we should go!" The man said widening his arms and laughing nervously.
But Roselyn shook her head and turned around to run back to John.
A strong grip tightened in her chest when he finally reached him, a strong light reappeared in front of her but this time it was reaching at her quickly. The more it reached her the more it spread and intensified.
The noise of someone clapping their hands woke Roselyn from her trance and a very familiar voice spoke.
"Wow, good job."
Roselyn's jaw dropped and her hands were trembling, was she hallucinating?
The person in front of her was the person she less thought to find there. How could it be?
She blinked her eyes few times, but the banshee in front of her didn't disappear.
"It can't be…" Roselyn said darting her eyes around to see the dead body of the sage on the ground and John still hallucinating.
She swallowed down and a tear fell down her face.
The banshee in front of her, the person who caused all the deaths and destruction was her sister.
Sharon reached Roselyn with a proud smile on her face and caressed her sister's cheek gently.. Roselyn was so shocked by that revelation that her skin became paler than usual and her mouth dried up.

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.

Musings of a Hypocrite
Mortals are weird. They insisted in unity, as well as individualism. More often than not, they're shocked at truth and honesty, but not at falsehood and deceit. They asked questions with multiple answers, and provided answers that begged other questions. They made things to break, they destroyed things to study, they researched things to recreate. Humans, Elves, Beastmen. All of them. Within these contradictions, a miracle might manifest. But this tended to work with a trial and error methodology. Most mortals never got the happy ending. This diary is my journey alongside a few students of mine. In simple terms - they learn, they grow, they fight. They'll journey through centuries of conflict, from the physical to the educational. They'll experience the cruelty and benelovence of all living-kind. They'll experience the consequences of their choices and the blessings of their rewards. They will grow to become useful to me, or die trying like all the others. As for you? The god reading our lives like a book, sitting in your chair without a care in the world? I will show you, the farce that is known as 'God'.
