《Ambrosius: My Own Time》Chapter Three
Advertisement
Right outside of the 'moon' clans compound, Desir sits in a lotus position with his eyes open, as massive, invisible waves of both Yin and Yang energy swarm to him.
.
'Holy shit! This is insane. I'm absorbing both energies almost ten times the speed I used to!'
.
'I'm starting to think that those fantastical fantasies of mine might be more possible than I thought previously.'
.
I smile at the prospect of running on air and splitting mountains with the wave of a hand.
.
'Heh, even though I can't properly train my body now, even though it's only been a month, I wonder what my stages are now that I have my clans secret technique. Plus, since I finished the 'Normal Child' quest, I should've leveled up. Status.'

I first allocated some status points, which I get five per level.
Strength: 8 → Strength: 10, Remaining points: 8
Endurance: 7 → Endurance: 10, Remaining points: 5
Speed: 9 → Speed: 10, Remaining points: 4

Dexterity: 8 → Dexterity: 10, Remaining points: 2
.
'I'll leave two points unallocated so that if I ever get into a surprise fight or situation, I can put in a point to a particular area to get an upper hand or position... maybe.'
.
A ruby-haired little girl comes up from behind and pulls Desir in to a loving hug.
.
"Desir! I broke though to Yang stage one!"
.
Ursyla exclaims happily, as she clings to a wryly smiling Desir.
.
"Oh yeah? That's great!"
.
After I got the Acting skill, I made sure to level it up all the way, as to get the maximum 'believing' affect. I also haven't opened the [Starter Pack] because I've been to focused on training my Yin and Yang, but I know it'll probably be good considering its from the system.
.
"What stage are you at Desir?"
.
She asks with an intrigued voice.
.
"Heh. That's for me to know and for you to find out."
.
I said cryptically to an intrigued Ursyla.
.
"Awwww. Why do you got to be so mysterious all the time."
.
She said as she puffed he cheeks.
.
'Haha, well thanks to the system, I don't have to bother spending an enormous amount of time trying to break through bottlenecks. But, of course I couldn't say that.'
.
I thought as I looked at the cut, puffy cheeked Ursyla.
.
I found her to be quite interesting, when I first saw her, she looked like a serene and hard working young girl. But, now that I know her I can for sure tell that she's hard working, but she is also cute and very talented. However, her Gods Blood title that she gained is something that I'll have to check out later.
.
Also when I first saw my status, I thought to work more on my Yang energy, because I knew that going up the ranks of Yin would be easy while under my parents protection. Both Jasmine and Havier are stage five genius practitioners, and in the secretive world of murim and magic, being at stage five while in their twenties was incredible.

.
To be honest, before I completed the 'Theory of Yin and Yang', I thought that Yang practitioners would always be stronger due to the size comparison of the sun and moon, but I figured out that the energy itself was created by Gaia, and that the size of the star doesn't matter, the energy is the embodiment of what the sun and moon stand for. The moon is the bright, white light that lights up the night, while the sun is the orange and bright, bringer of days.
.
The energies of Yin and Yang are also, not the only earthly energy there is. There are also energies like Mana, Prana, Chi, Barakah, Chakra and many more, but the way to absorb the higher forms of energy are horded by the powerful clans and organizations.
.
'After I get to the seventh stage of both Yin and Yang, I'll sneak into the Shakrus clan and take some of their chakra techniques, maybe they'll have an incredible secret technique for me to steal.'
.
I thought, as I see Ursyla leave. After she left I continued my cultivation of Yin and Yang energy, but with more focus and coherence.
.

.
Its now been eight months since I've gotten the Devourer of the Sun & Moon secret technique, and so far I managed to get to Yin stage six and Yang stage five. I've been trying to somewhat balance my stages since my ancient bloodline gives me an enormous absorption rate of Yin energy, so I put my focus on Yang for now, while occasionally getting and finishing a quest.
.
I'm not sure of how my status is looking so far, because of my focal point in Yin-Yang cultivation.
.
'Status.'
.

'Wow... I'm pretty close on both Yin for seventh, and Yang for sixth. I think I might be going to the Shakrus clan sooner than I thought. Guess I should also see about Ursyla and her God's Blood, maybe it'll be something like ichor from modern mythology.'
.
I continue to cultivate, as I look at my percentage of both Yin and Yang go up slowly.
Yang Stage: 5 (98%) → Yang Stage: 6 (8%)
Yin Stage: 6 (91%) → Yin Stage: 7 (1%)

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.
