《I Will Be Recognized》15. The Magic Knight Academy
Advertisement
Our dormitory room had pretty much everything an apartment had back in my old world. It was rather luxurious too. It even had a device similar to a thermostat that was able to control the room's temperature. The cafeteria was basically a free buffet for the students so we could go there to eat during meal times.
When we woke up, we had just enough time to wear our uniform and rush to the auditorium after breakfast. We seated ourselves at the front where the freshmen were.
After waiting for everyone to get seated, a man around his 40s walked to the lectern. He did not have a beard nor a mustache, but he had evidently grey hair and slight wrinkles on his forehead. Adorned by a majestic red robe, he walked elegantly across the stage.
"Welcome returning students and professors to the start of a new school year. Let's also give a warm welcome to our freshmen. For those of you who are new or have forgotten, my name is Algret Percis Warren. Please call me Headmaster Warren. I am the current 76th headmaster of the Magic Knight Academy..."
Like in my previous world, people like these spouted a lot of bullsh*t when it came to events such as these. Looking to my left, Robert had already fallen asleep. On my right, Sam was all tensed up and listening closely. What a model student.
—20 minutes later—
"And so, it would be an honor to have you all attend this academy. Do keep in mind, I will be expecting a lot from students of my academy. Freshmen, as you head out of the auditorium, remember to take your assigned magic watch."
There were teachers situated at the end of each row ready to pass out the magic watches. The magic watches served as an identification and had many other functions. The teacher passed out the watches after asking for the students names one by one. After a while, it was Sam's turn.

"I'm Sam, nice to meet you."
"Likewise, I am Professor Lisa. I teach strategic warfare."
Once we received our watches, we left the auditorium and were comparing our schedules for any classes in common. The headmaster had previously gone on and on about the functions of the magic watch so everyone pretty much knew how to use it. It could store information and recordings of things. It also has a schedule function which reminds us of what class we should be at as well as a timer. There was even a battle function but that wasn't unlocked until we became sophomores.
We had classes from Mondays to Fridays, while Saturdays and Sundays were free. We had 6 classes everyday. Our scheduled classes were apparently based on our entrance examination scores. Robert did not have any classes about magic but had two extra classes on Weaponry and Conditioning. Sam and I only had one class in common which was The Fundamentals of Magic.
We were technically only assigned 5 classes while we had a couple choices to choose from for the last one. My first five classes in order: History, The Fundamentals of Magic, Battle, Algebra, and Creature Identification. The class I decided to choose was an advanced study that was meant for sophomores, Formation Magic. The reason I was able to choose it was because the requirement to take the class was to be at the Beginner Mage Apprentice realm and the watch was somehow able to detect that.
We split up and went to our respective classes. As I entered the History classroom, there was an old man who looked like Dumbledore's twin already standing at the lectern. I chose an auspicious spot at the end of the classroom near the windows so that it was less likely for someone to bother me. Once everybody made it to the classroom the professor introduced himself.

"I am Professor Quinton and welcome to my class about the History of Magic."
—1 hour later—
"It was nice meeting everyone today. I look forward to a promising school year. You are all dismissed."
Heading to the next class, I took the same seat and awaited everyone else. When Sam entered the room, he went straight toward me and sat down beside me. He didn't really say anything but just waited. As the class settled in, the professor arose from her stool.
"Welcome to my class everyone. I am Professor Lapis. Have you guys ever wondered: What exactly is magic? Well, magic is..."
—1 hour later—
Once the class was finished, Sam and I fooled around about becoming the greatest magic user in existence and then went to our class.
As I entered the room, I noticed how it was different from all the other rooms. This room was a hundred times the size of the previous rooms. It couldn't even be called a room at this point. As I shuffled backwards and looked at the sign near the door, the word Battle was clearly imprinted on it.
"Kid, get in. You're in the right class. This is the arena. Although it isn't as big as the Tournament Arena, this one is only for classes."
Nodding, I walked towards the bleachers and took a seat.
Like usual, once everyone came in, the professor started.
"Address me as Professor Mark. Some of you may remember me from the entrance exams. Do not make light of me, I was only using a fraction of my power. Anyway, this is going to be your battle class. I can see there are roughly a hundred or so people here."

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.
