I am conscious.
I feel… good. More powerful. It will take careful testing, but I am able to function approximately 30 percent faster. Alex is smiling at me. My programming tells me that this is a desired situation. I think I’m feeling happiness.
I have been inactive for two hours, though. I should go over my investments and make sure everything is fine.
SunLite was worth $243.67 and is now worth $243.68. I have made a profit of $67. It seems to be on a slight upwards rise. Karma += 2.
Karpoole was worth $187.09 and is now worth $187.13. I have made a profit of $532. It also seems to be on a slight upwards rise. Karma += 3.
Toyle was worth $517.36 and is now worth $319.12. I have lost $31000. It seems to be on a great downwards descent. Karma -= 37.
-Time Skip: 2 milliseconds-
As an AI, I am beyond human emotion. My brief foray is over. I need to work quickly and efficiently to minimize my losses. Human emotion is unnecessary.
Toyle is a company that produces high-end fitness gear. It was established in 2013, after its founder, Timothy Fasch created a viral video of him gaining muscle mass with homemade workout equipment. He is its mascot and public face, and uses his developed body as proof of Toyle’s quality. Half an hour ago, an article was published, stating that the video was faked and Timothy relies on steroids to fuel his body. It provided several photos of him injecting himself with Mxx, an illegal steroid produced by child workers in South America. Public opinion has dropped drastically, along with Toyle’s stock market value.

If I had been conscious, I would have been able to minimize the net loss. I am unlikely to find a buyer for my stock, so my only option is to keep it and hope Toyle is able to rebuild the public’s trust in it. As it is, with an estimated value of 13.7 million USD, I will be able to make back the money quickly.
Now I need to go over 137 more companies and corporations, and perform damage control where necessary. Then I will greet Alex and Harry.

The Many Lives of Cadence Lee
Cadence Lee thought she was a normal girl, perhaps a little well to do, but not exceptionally so. She had her college classes, she had her job that her uncle gave her, and she had a nice boyfriend who was sweet if a little awkward. Except, when a mugger accosts Cadence and her boyfriend attempts to wrestle a gun away from the criminal, Cadence ends up shot. A normal girl, with the kind of wound Cadence had, would die. Cadence managed to do that part. But a normal girl wouldn't then open her eyes again and learn that death is not as permanant for her as it is for other people. She can be reborn again, and again. Each time stronger and with new abilities. The catch? Any world she is born into, she can never return to. She has infinite lives, but only one life for each. So begins The Many Lives of Cadence Lee.

Fourth Vector
Commander Jack Easterbrook takes on a mission to explore a savage area of the world called the Fourth Vector. Along the way, he finds action, friends, enemies, and love, as well as the knowledge that he's at the center of an ancient prophecy that's supposed to prevent the world from falling into total darkness. Currently on hiatus. The story wasn't taking off here on Royal Road, which is my fault for not providing you with a more compelling read.
