"Huh?"
"Yeah, I'm not joking about my daughter."
"Errrrr, It's not like I'm rude, but currently, I'm not looking for a partner for life right now."
"Heh, you are just like me, lad. Traveling around while searching for something new, Haaaaa... But anyway, Gabriel, I need you to go to the Capital City."
"Huh? Why?"
"To register yourself as a noble of course, While you already have an ID, you still need to go to the Dragon Peak City, which is the name of our Capital and go to the Prime Minister office, then he will give you the paperwork."
"UGH, Paperwork..."
"I know, lad, I know."
"Anyway, how long is Dragon Peak City from here?"
"Follow the main road to the North. You will arrive there in 1 week if you on foot, but you will arrive there in 3 days if you on a horse."
"I guess I will go on foot tomorrow morning."
"Then, when you arrive at the first city in the north called Wind Hollow, you can go to the Adventure Guild there to Update your Job."
"Update Job?"
"Don't worry, lad, I use my Scan skill on you. That is why I know you already Lvl 57 and need to upgrade your Job but don't worry; I will keep your Status Secret."
"Thank you, Roy."
"No problem lad and Gabriel please give me your Noble ID for a second"
"Huh? Well alright"
Gabriel then gives Roy his ID, after giving Roy his ID Roy then hold his ID and watch Roy's hands shine a little then hand his ID back.

"Errr, I don't mind for the promotion, but why?"
"Did you know about the requirement of B-Rank Adventurer?"
"No, I don't."
"B-Ranked Adventurer needs at least level 50 and prove him/herself in a trial. You already at level 57, and your trial is killing Orc General, so you deserve this promotion."
"Thank you."
"No problem, Now enjoy the Party."

"Ahhh, Gabriel come on in"
"Hello Roy, what do you need?"
"Nothing much, I just need to give you this"
Roy then gives him an envelope and then says.
"This is the document you need for the Job Upgrade, Just give this to the Receptionist in Hollow Wind City after that they will Upgrade your Job."
"I see, Thank you."
"Think nothing about it, lad."
"Then, I will go now."
"Be careful out there."
Gabriel then walks outside the Adventurer Guild and go to the Armor Shop where he greeted by the same dwarf from his earlier visit.
"Hello"
"Ahhh, Gabriel the Red Saint, What can I do for you?"
"You know?"
"Heh, every person inside the City knows about you, lad."
Gabriel blushes a little at the news, before saying.
"Anyway, Nusas, I just want to inform you that I want to cancel my order from before."
"Why?"
"I got myself some decent armor that fulfills all my need at the moment."
"I see, but I won't Return your money because I already created your armor."
"Ahhh, it's okay then."

Gabriel got himself some money after the Wave from the Guild Master, where he sells the Skin of Orc General that he gets and also the Weapon of the Orc General for an 11 Gold Coin. So Gabriel has a 15 Gold and 445 Silver Coin in his Inventory, and that is the reason he goes to the Potion Shop that is to buy a Mana Potion as many he can.

"Thank you very much."
"Think nothing of it, and this is the reward for your help in the Monster Wave."
Gabriel then walks to the Inn and say his Goodbye toward the Innkeeper who give him a Launch Box for his Journey to the Capital City.
After arriving at the city gate, Gabriel greeted by the Guard who walked toward him and said.
"Gabriel sir, Thank you for healing me, if not for you I will never be able to walk again."
"Think nothing of it; I'm just doing what is right."
"Thank you once more, sir"
Gabriel then walked outside the gate and continue to walk to the north following the main road to Capital City. As he walked for about 30 minutes, Gabriel hears a scream coming from the distance, so he began to run toward the scream location. After running for about 3 minutes, Gabriel able to see a group of people surrounded by 30 Orcs and 50 Shadow Wolf.
He then began to summon his Sword Projection and launch it toward the Orc, who died instantly. He then began to kill the other Enemy with his Sword and sometimes using his Biological power; after fighting for about 10 minutes Gabriel and the people that get attacked able to kill all the monster.
After the monster has been slain, the carriage that gets attacked gets opened, and from the carriage coming out, a little girl who is crying her eyes out while saying.
"Please save my Daddy. Daddy is bleeding. He... he..."
Gabriel then walked past the little girl and slowly reaches the Man that has a massive wound on his chest, his power informs him the man's heart is stabbed a little and only have a little time left.
He then quickly use his power to close all the man wounds before purifying all Dark magic that residue inside the man-body. After a few seconds, the man's breath began to calm down as the man's face color began to back to normal.
"Is Daddy, Okay?"
"He will be okay."
"Really?"
"Yes"
"Promise?"
"En, I promise."
"Thank you."
"It's no problem, anyway, what is your name, little princess? my name is Gabriel D'Arc."
"Emmm, My name is Annette Barthélemy."

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.
