《A-Zero》Chapter 1: The Opening
Advertisement
HELLO GUYS! This is a novel that has been gnawing at the back of my head for a long time now. Hopefully, you guys will like it :D Please comments as to what you think of it.
[These doors never opened.]
[At least they haven’t opened in uhhh… 10 or so years? I’ve long lost the notion of time to the permanent darkness. But that didn’t bother me. However, the doors…Why do the Zerians never open these doors? Such beautifully constructed double doors made of materials that even nobles could rarely afford. Such a waste, it was obvious that their exquisite craftsmanship can only be truly appreciated by opening them. How could they not know this! Stupid Zerians. If they won’t appreciate it then I shall! Keep me here forever! See if I care.]
[Suddenly I realised, I loved them, the doors. When I touch the smooth slabs of Primestone I am overwhelmed by a sense of security and peacefulness. Is this not love? In the spur of the moment I silently apologize to the door. For in the beginning I had hated them, and sought countless ways to destroy them. “Please accept my apologies my dearest doors! I know that I have hurt you many times, but please, do not blame me!” I whispered. “If only you had let me out I wouldn’t have hurt you, I would’ve come to love you much faster, with affection even deeper than what I hold towards you now.”]
“ARRRGHHHHHH! IT’S NOT WORKING JURA. I just can’t imagine writing a romance novel between you and me.” I complained, “After all, it’s been 10 or so years and you haven’t even moved!”
Jura was silent. Perhaps she was contemplating what to say. I considered it but soon ran out of patience.

“You know what, I’m sick of it Jura. Whenever I talk to you you never respond, and you always sit so close to Dorando. I’m only going to talk to Dorando now!”
Once again, Jura was silent.
“Dorando, hey buddy! Long time no talk man! I was just thinking about exercise.”
Dorando, being a gentleman, waited for me to continue instead of interrupting my train of thought.
“Ok so don’t take this too hard, but I think you and Jura need some exercise.”
Dorando was quiet. Maybe I had angered him? No. I need to push on. After all this was a matter of great importance.
“Now, now. Think about this rationally. You guys haven’t even MOVED for the past 10 years. What do you think that does to your health huh? IT’S WHY YOU GUYS ARE SO HEAVY!”
Dorando was so shocked by this revelation that he froze solid and I could tell that Jura was now also listening to the conversation. Grinning, I continued my grand motivational speech. But just as I started again, I could feel Jura becoming disinterested.
“Look at me. NO JURA! LOOK AT ME! Yes, that’s better.”
After all, eye contact is extremely important when you want to get a message across.
“A person who is able to flatten MOUNTAINS with just his left hand and a sharpened stick, STRUGGLES to move you. Yes, you heard that right. “STRUGGLES”. DORANDO DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS MEANS?“
By now Dorando had probably entered a comatose state, and in fact I think Jura had just entered the “frozen from shock” state as well, but this was no time to stop, I had to give them the final push!
“IT MEANS YOU GUYS ARE FAT! YOU NEED EXERCISE MY DEAR FRIENDS!”

Dorando and Jura groaned enthusiastically in response.
Yes, that’s the way it shou- wait groaned? Were they going to leave?
“Dorando and Jura, stop that. You’re scaring me guys!”
The groaning suddenly stopped. Relief washed over me and I fell on my knees, for I had thought for a second that Dorando and Jura were going to leave me. However when I shuffled up to hug the duo, they slid away from my touch. And when I looked up I sa-
Was that light? Oh right, that’s what light looked like.
A question, then a confirmation, then I fainted.

Path of the Shaman [HIATUS]
Talin Greymarch attends the prestigious Sovereign Guard Shaman Academy, the greatest institute of learning for shamanic cultivation in the kingdom of Ilios. As he struggles with his day to day school life and cultivation, little does Talin know that he has fallen into the middle of a conspiracy that threatens to shatter the world once again. A merger of the tropes and stylings of Eastern cultivation or Xianxia with Western Sword and sorcery fantasy stories, Path of the Shaman seeks to blur the line between the two. My goal is to establish a believable fantasy world, and I want to pace the story so that I can do that properly. If that sounds appealing to you please give this story a chance. Release schedule: My schedule will be a little inconsistent due to my job, but I aim to release about twice a week.

Amygdala Hijack - A Genetic Engineering Sci-Fi Novel of Impending Dystopia
A platinum-gold obelisk crash-lands on a Saskatchewan farm, warning of imminent alien invasion. Peter Scott, a science podcaster with ratings in decline, considers this a gift from heaven. He plans to reinvigorate the show's slumping popularity by interviewing a cast of edgy experts with brazen proposals to defend Earth from the anticipated invaders. But the planet has bigger issues than space marauders. That's because it's 2037, and DNA is just another programming language. Gene editing has vaulted society toward anarchy as humans rapidly hybridize, modifying their bodies with edited DNA, robotics, and computer interfaces. Add to that the constant existential threats from engineered microbes. Alien invasions, social disruptions, and pandemics are not the only concerns for Peter and team. Shadowy forces will stop at nothing to kill the podcast – or them. (episodes 1-28 of 159 in the series)
