End of POV
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You’re touching the Skill Book [Mana Control]This skill is ranked as beginner (special) At later levels this skill is better than [Mana Manipulation]. Most people don’t see the difference. Which is basically very simple. You control the mana which means you make it yours. While [Mana Manipulation] is like a partial control, you are suggesting to the mana to make a certain action.At the start [Mana Control] can be disrupted by [ Mana Manipulation ] but later you can take complete control of mana and your skills which require mana will be immune to [Dispel]. [Mana Control] is harder to learn and both skills can not be leaned at the same time until one skill is not mastered at Max.Lv. Learn: >>Y/N
Because you will get ALL the knowledge of the skill at the same time you will be knocked out. Starting in 10 second please hold the book and find a place to faint.
Cloud gets up from the chair and goes on the bed and closes his eyes like he will just enter a brief sleep. While doing that 4 second have already passed.
6,5,4,3,2,1
‘’AGHHH!!!Shit.Motherfucker,Bitch,Fuck,FUCKING HURTS…...’’ Cloud feels like his head has been hit with a sledge hammer but was still continuous at that moment and lets out a string of curses until he faints.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cloud wakes up with a splitting headache looks at the wall clock and sees its only 8am.
+20 Int. +5 Wis. [Mana Control LV 10] has been learned because of Godly Aptitude the level has been increased and extra knowledge has been downloaded increase wis and int to get access to more.P.s This level will not allow [Mana Manipulation] to disrupt your skills and mana. The God of Mana has died the restrictions on mana on this world he placed have been removed. The mana in the world thickens x10.Mana Controls is now 5 times stronger. Mana Mani is now 5 times stronger.Mana control in general is now 2 times easier. All the mana the God of Mana restricted has been turned into mana crystals.House has been filled up.No more available space. User has not unlocked Inventory hence can not put any in. Mana crystals have been automatically taken in the system shop. User receives 50,000 P because the system pities user. If user had Unlocked Inventory 10 Million Crystals of the highest grade(SSS+) would have been stored in the inventory with some sold to unlock slots automatically to store all of them. If this makes user a little less depressed User can buy these mana crystals without using a daily cheat. God of Mana Loot collected.Mana Culativation Skill Book(Special) x1, 10 God Coins, Ring of Disrupting Mana. Have been delivered to you on the bed. This is only 1% of the loot because you did not personally kill god.Even if he did die because of you.No exp has been granted because of the same reason.
Clouds reads the messages 5 times to make sure he hasn’t misunderstood anything.’The god of mana died because I learned [Mana Control]? I also get free stuff because of that? I mean I’m not complaining but who wants to be a god to just die from a human learning a skill? I definitely will not become a god if the system asks me if I want to become one.’ Cloud completely misunderstands. But the system did not explain what actually happened for unknown reasons.

‘System if you understand me, I don’t really care what happened I got stuff for just learning a skill so even if I didn’t get the mana crystals it’s fine. If anything I’m glad you were able to get all this and give it to me. Also if you didn’t collect all of them somehow the price of these valuable I assume crystals would have dropped, I can now sell a few and be rich’
System understands. User thinks of the positives in this situation. System has unlocked basic sentience. So user can speak with the system. System can now also make suggestions to user freely.
‘How did that happen? Also Congratulations’
System had to take certain actions without users instructions because system and user were in danger. Hence system can now ‘think’. Why congratulate system?
‘Aha thanks for looking out for us. Because it’s good to be able to think now you can be classed as being alive? I guess.’
System can not understand. Will continue the topic with user when some thinking is done. Suggesting user learn Flowing Lightning and go to the academy before more people start to Awaken because of the higher mana density.
‘Will I be knocked out again the Mana Control one hurt like a bitch you know.’
No worries user. Flowing Lighting. Not much new knowledge to user. User will not faint or hurt.Skill level will probably become 10/20 and will become 20 (max lv) after 10,000 uses.
‘Great. Will the god of lightning die after I learn it? Haha’ Cloud laughs but is kinda worried some misfortune will happen if another god dies so soon after 1 already died.
No unless God of Lightning does something he should not.
‘Okay then.’ Cloud gets up and take the Flowing Lightning skill book and selects the Y option when the box shows up.
Skill Flowing Lightning has been learned. Starting at level 10 because of Godly Aptitude. The skill has Unlocked your Affinity to Lightning. Affinity at 20% Average. Affinity growth multiplier x 5. The more lightning skill you use the more affinity you will get for the used element. User will get affinity 5 times faster than others.
Cloud gets all the knowledge of the skill at the same time and his previous headache is buffed to x2.
+2 Int +3 Wis
‘System you lied to me this still hurts.I will check the skill decription later. Also please do me a favor and buy all the inventory skills available in the One time Deals with the 50,000P as well as all the inventory deals you think will be good additions with the rest of the Gold. My head hurts too much at the moment.’
It hurt because user did not wait for the previous headache to stop. I can do that for you user. It will take a second.
All one time deals bought 8350P. Additional sub skill bought is Summon the Weapons of 1 skill slot at once and attack 1 target with all the weapons in that slot at once with a thought.10 minutes cooldown..Price 30,000P 20 Slots bought for 10,000P. Total slots 30. System will store all the items in the house except furniture in the inventory.
120 Grade SSS+ Mana crystals, Mana Culativation Skill Book(Special) x1, 10 God Coins, Ring of Disrupting Mana.
System suggests you go to the Academy.
‘ Okay ,Okay. Give me 5 minutes please. I’m dying of here.’
Cloud gets up from the and goes downstairs to the well gets a bucket full of icy cold water. Cloud takes a deep breath and puts his head in the icy cold water.’Ugh… Cold. But refreshing.’ After 10 second he doesn’t feel his head hurts anymore, goes upstairs and drys his hair with an old towel he found left inside the wardrobe.
‘Okay now I can go to the academy.’ Cloud gets the key from the table and heads to the academy. After 20 minutes of walking he sees the gates and a person sitting there on a desk. People lined up in front of the desk are around 5 and all look like they are rich or at least moderately rich. Cloud lines up and awaits his turn which is after 10 minutes.
You’re here to apply study in the academy right?-Person at the desk.
Yes my name is Cloud and I have a quest to get admitted here ‘Show Quest’-Cloud
The quest panel shows up in front of the person on the desk.He reads the quest and the panel closes.
Okay I need the Identity badge and you need to pay 1P registration fee to take the tests.-P. at.D.
Cloud pays and gives the identity badge.
Mr not all my details are on there I recently learned 2 skills which are not recorded-Cloud.
No worries the badge Updates all new skills and abilities as long as you have touched it.-P at D Puts the badge next to a crystal ball and a panel pops up in front of the P at D. He reads the information and looks at Cloud.
There doesn’t seem to be new skills here there is only [Mana Control LV10] and [Flowing Lightning LV10].... Are you sure you learned these new skills properly if a panel did not show up to tell you you have reached level 1 you have not learned it yet even if you can perform it to some degree.-P AT D
I learned those 2 skills you mentioned just now….-Cloud.
Do you take me for a fool to level anything to 10 takes…….’P at D looks at the ability panel again’.....Nevermind. You might not be lying.Anyway here is your badge and here take this paper and give it to the reception inside the main building which is the one in the middle -P at D.
On the document it said: Person to take tests 800-820 and 822. If he fails to take the lower grade ones.
Cloud walks to the reception and sees a familiar face. The receptionist from the city administration.Elein.
Hi Elein. Didn’t know you work at the academy as well. How are you?-Cloud The receptionist looks at Cloud and smiles.
Hello there. My name is Eve. You must be referring to my twin sister. I’m well thanks young man. What can I help you with today?-Eve
Ahh sorry didn’t know she had a sister… I came to apply to be admitted in the academy. Here is the document I was given.-Cloud hands the document and Eve takes it.
No problem it happen all the time to people who are here for the first time. Very well let me take you to where your tests will be. The first 20 tests will be aptitude and affinity tests. 10 of each. The last one is a written test. You already passed the mana and stat requirement tests at the desk outside.If you fail all the affinity tests you will not be able to enter.-Eve. Stands up and takes him to his examiner.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cloud walk out of the last test which was the written one. He cheated that one with the system since he didn’t have any knowledge at all. He was quite confident that he will pass that 1 with full marks.
‘I’m so glad I learned Flowing Lightning. Otherwise my Affinity to lightning would not have been unlocked and would have failed….For the aptitude tests I passed all of them. I even cracked 1 of the mana aptitude test crystals which was apparently for testing people with SSS aptitude.The examiner almost died. The system told me such a crystal costs 400,000P. I felt a little guilty it happened but just a little, who doesn’t want to be able to break the highest ranked crystal for tests at least once in a fantasy world?’.
Cloud went back to the reception and waited for his results. While talking with Eve regarding Academy things like if there was a blacksmithing class and other classes, was there an academy uniform ect. In an hours the examiner came to tell me the results.
You have been admitted in to Seldon Academy. The written test results were perfect. Too perfect. Which mean your system helped you somehow. Which is fine but you will need to learn some knowledge for yourself. You will need to go to extra classes for all the subjects except physics,biology. Those were not perfect but were correct which mean you do have the knowledge you need in those. As for the Affinities fails. They will not be counted until you learn a skill from each elements. If you still lack the affinity for it then we will not send you to classes related to those which you don’t have. Your Aptitudes are all amazing and expect great things from you, young man. Since your a bit special you will be in class S starting next Month. Also you will not need to pay any fees. Just learn and become a great man so we can proudly say you studied here.-Examiner.
……….Okay. Thanks. I’ll see you next Month then?-Cloud
Yes. Be here at 8 am exactly. I will come and get you.-Examiner.
Okay then. See you Eve and Examiner-Cloud
Eve and the examiner say goodbye to cloud and he heads home.
‘So I barely passed…. If all I did was rely on the system would they have let me pass? Or if I had no Affinities?’
Cloud heads to the Skill Book shop to look at what he can buy for tomorrows Instant Learning.

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.

Interface
Welcome to the World-City of Thousel, the sixth iteration of life on the planet. These are the recordings of the people of Thousel. Thousel is believed to be the second longest iteration of life, and the overall most prosperous compared to what we know about the past five iterations. Medicine and technology have all progressed abundantly, and the world itself has been turned into one great city, governed and managed by the Governmental-Company Alliance, or the GCA.These particular recordings concern the discovery of a peculiar machine. When two very different people find themselves bound by the fate of one mysterious bot, life in the World-City begins to change… Interface is a cyberpunk webnovel set in an ecumenopolis world where people evolved with electro-sensory abilities. These senses shape the face of modern technology and life in a world where the three largest corporations run what has effectively become the government. Each of these three companies control various aspects of life in the city, and they all constantly vie for domain and power over one another.The world stands at the precipice of biological, technological, and historical breakthrough. After decades of study into microbiology, archaeology, and geology, it has been discovered that sentient life has lived on the planet multiple times over. These past peoples are referred to as the “prior iterations of life,” and it is believed that five great civilizations were constructed before the rise of the modern world. No one can be sure for certain what caused these peoples’ extinction long ago, and the theories range from simply dying off over time to massive tectonic fractures in the face of the planet. Advanced technology, far more complicated than anything the people possess today, has been uncovered in multiple locations. This has lead scholars to speculate on exactly how long each iteration of life survived and how far they progressed as a society. None of the companies have been able to find a way to make this ancient technology work for their own profit. It is as though they are each missing the final key needed to unlock these centuries old secrets. What could this knowledge reveal about the nature of life across every iteration? What power could it give to the one who wields it?Far from the investigation into the origin of life, two kids unlock a new mystery – one that ties their fates to the discovery of an old, mysterious robot. Suddenly, eyes begin to turn towards them as life in the city of Thousel changes wherever they go…
