"Are you ok?" Cynthia asked
"Don't worry, I'm fine" I chuckled
"Your body..." the long-sleeve I wore were burned exposing my upper body, she was clearly shocked by my armor
"This...I can't really explain now but I will in the future" I quickly said but
"Aren't we going on an adventure together? please...trust me a little" Cynthia smiled
I only kept silent, normally I would brush off what she said but why? why do I feel like this?...
'Warning, Zeno! you're emotions..' Lilith only spoke those words
'Hey, Zeno we're a team, right? trust us a little' She was standing there by the door, Her voice ever so sweet and gentle, I only remembered her by her voice because I never bothered to look at her face even though we were in the same platoon...I'm having flashbacks of my past...
'I..I'm so sorry...' I tried to reach out to her but she was walking too fast,
'Zeno, Life is not such a cruel thing you know...' those were the words she said before I was pulled back to reality by Cynthia's voice
"Zeno...I really don't want to force you to say it, it's fine please forget what I said" Cynthia said with a lonely expression on her face, she's just like me... alone in this world... she lost her family, her everything while I was tossed into this time with only Lilith
"Cynthia... promise me, whatever you see...you will only keep to yourself.." I looked straight into her eyes,
"I promise!" Cynthia replied
"Okay then" I slowly took off my mask and showed he my face
"...You...you're not human?" Cynthia asked in shock
"I'm half human..."
"Half?"
"The other half is something I still can't explain but I promise when I get enough information I will properly explain it to you" I still lack information in this world

"Then.. the lightning was.."
"I run on energy that the lightning generated"
"Mana?"
"No... but it's similar to mana"
"Then...aren't you a golem?"
"Golem?"
"Artificial life forms created with hard materials such as rock, steel, and other stuff. They have a core that utilizes mana in order to operate"
"Then you could say I'm half a golem"
"I see..."
"Let's go, it's almost dinner time" I was getting hungry
"Golem's don't get hungry though..."
"Let's just say I'm not your typical Golem"
We all ate together at the guild hall, Cynthia was closely observing me as I ate. I still had my mask on, the only difference was that the lower part of my masked opened, revealing my mouth.
After eating dinner I went into my room and quickly studied mana with the information that Lilith has been collecting.
'Does the mana use up the energy that I need in order to operate?' I asked Lilith
'Affirmative, It is the same as using your skills. It uses up DK's energy'
'oh yeah, what is my energy level and DK's energy level?'
'DK has 10% energy remaining while the core inside your body has 27% energy'
'DK didn't charge from the [Lightning] that Cynthia used?'
'I took your energy level as priority over DK's'
'Then...I'll have to ask Cynthia to use it on me again, Goodnight Lilith'
'Goodnight Zeno'

'Unusual energy fluctuations detected...Running analysis...Analysis results...shows no results'
'what do you mean no results...' Zeno was asleep but Lilith continued her job of monitoring DK and Zeno
'This...I am still unsure of this so I won't report this to Zeno'

NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/

Forgive me, I didn't mean to take that!
Murong Yingyue is the heiress to a famous cultivator clan. Except that’s she’s really not, and just a stand-in for the real heiress, who had been sickly since she was born. And she’s not really even herself. A transmigrator from Earth had transmigrated into the body of a female demoness, inheriting her memories. The transmigrator had then later died, transmigrating into her infant body! Ah, Why is it so convoluted? She grew up with those memories, and when she was finally sufficiently strong enough to travel the world safely, she eagerly embraced a leisurely life. When I was a demoness, I didn't know how to live without constantly being on guard and having to calculate every move I make. When I was on Earth, I didn't know a life without romantic drama and jealous women! I'll enjoy these two things you have missed, then! I'll do whatever I want and avoid troublesome people. So... How the f*ck did I get into this stupid cliche storyline? And as the main character, too? I don't want to be the main character! They attract so many senseless cannon fodders and powerful enemies, and furthermore, don't they attract romantic interests like it's no one's business? Someone help me! This will read better if you are familiar with wuxia novels. Discontinued. Apologies to all who liked the story. I feel that my writing style has changed since I last wrote for this story, so I tried to get myself to rewrite the story but I couldn't find any motivation to do so. I also lost the outline I had for this story and don't really remember what direction it was going in, so I want to leave the story as is. Thank you to the people who read and favorited this.
