《B1nary Bl00d》Chapter 8
Advertisement
As I am being sucked out I re-create my vacuum suit around me. I'm flying down now, heading towards the star. I look around and see there are massive solar panels below me. They are attached to the dison sphere be giant metal ropes. I know I must be moving pretty fast but it barely seems like I'm getting any closer.
I move my nanites and have them wrap around a rope that is, thankfully, pretty close. I have them form a bunch of rollers that I then wrap around the rope. Once that's done, I slowly have them start breaking. After about five minutes I have finally come to a complete stop.
Now I have another problem. How on earth am I supposed to get back up? It's hard enough to not fall down, I am fighting gravity after all. Well, I guess I will just have to work my way up slowly. I add tiny spikes to the rollers, then start to force them to pull me up.
***
It took so long that I fell asleep multiple times on the way up, but I've finally made it all the way to the top. I look up at the surface and see grooves that are about 3 inches deep and are wider at the top. I bet that the construction bots would use these for moving around while outside the dison sphere. I can use them too, for moving around.
See, I have a brilliant Idea, I'm going to destroy the metal ropes holding up the solar panels. I think this will be the fastest way to get around while also doing damage. So to start, I'm going to destroy the one I climbed up on.
Man, this is boring. At least when I was coming up I had to focus on it so it wasn't too bad, but this requires almost no effort. I've cut down several hundred by now. I've kinda been going in a line. I'm still hoping to see something that looks important but haven't yet.

Finally, I've found something that looks important. It's a large circular dome. kinda like an upside-down crater. As I move to the interior of the crater-dome thing, I see a square hole with rounded edges that leads up into it.
I move myself up into it. As I go up, it gets wider and wider. As I look around, I see a lot of wires and tubes going into a central machine. Then I realize that this is one of the spots where energy came out of the dison sphere. Perfect. I think. I use my nanites to move myself to the center part, then have them eat away at it. After about five minutes of this, Red flashing lights go off.
At first, I think that I've set off an alarm, but no security robots or anything comes out. Then I look back to where I was having the nanites break down the machine and see the problem. The metal is glowing red hot. I must have broken its cooling system.
Which means that... OH, CRAP ...It going to melt down. I Start moving my self as far away as possible from it, as fast as possible. As I am getting away, I see a bright flash, then darkness.

Meek
After failing as an apprentice cooper and a town guard, Eli finds his place at the Rockbridge archives. Sure, he's the oldest 'junior scribe,' but he likes the job. And he's good at it, too. Then he completes an apparently-insignificant project, and the brutal reaction shocks him--with consequences that eventually shake the world. Eli gains powers. Rare and inhuman abilities. He progresses slowly, steadily, and not without setbacks. He changes, too. Is he a hero, a villain, a human, a monster? Depends who you ask. Meek is an epic fantasy with elements of progression. The basic magic is simple: five Paths, each with a different powerset. However, complexity arises from combinations, and the protagonist wields a magic all his own. Meek is set in the Valley, the only (as far as anyone knows) human empire that survived a Final Battle against a terrible foe. The Valley is warded against infiltration, but the enemy learned how to warp human souls, to foment discord within. However, another soul is also ... changed. Perhaps even 'warped.' And that soul is starting on a long (long, long) path that might, one day, prove that the Final Battle wasn't so final after all.

The 8th Day
One day life is good. The next day it isn't! The boundaries between... well, whatever they're between.. have shattered! Monsters burst out from cracks in the universe, and reality suddenly begins to function similar to a game -- but not a game that anyone knows all the rules about! Magic is suddenly real, but so are monsters and death! Lots of death!And the worst part of it all? I think we did it to ourselves! We invented video games, and personally I think that great Finger-in-the-Sky picked up a console somewhere and started playing them. Since He liked what he saw, he must've declared, """"On the 8th Day, let there be Game!"But what do I know about it all, really. After all, I'm just """"The Witness"""" forced to observe it all.__________________________________________________________________________Author's Note: There's a lot of tales where characters get stuck in a Virtual Reality. """"Sword Art Online"""", """"Log Horizon"""", """"The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor"""". This is a story told with the premise inverted -- instead of a person from reality going into a virtual world, what would happen if the virtual world instead came to reality?I want this tale to speak about the aspects of the game, as it has affected the current reality, but the focus of the story should never be on the """"reality-turned-game"""" itself, but on the characters and their oh-so-human struggles, personalities, and attempt to adjust and live within the bounds of their new existence. Hopefully this won't just be a story of """"reality turned into a game"""", but instead will be something more meaningful such as a story of the strengths, perseverance, and humanity of man-kind as they try to adapt and face the unknown.*** And, most importantly, I hope everyone enjoys reading it as much as I've enjoyed writing it. ***WARNING: RATED MATURE M[18+] FOR GORE, SEX, VIOLENCE. The apocalypse isn't a pretty place to try to survive in, and neither is every scene in a story trying to describe it.
