《Modern Monsters》Reavalations

Dacker sighed while walking through the old neighborhood or as the locals like to call it," Catville." There were cats everywhere you could see and not see. Everyone and their mother had a cat. But that was not relevant right now. What was relevant was there were probably people following him. The town hasn't earned its saying, " If there are no cats, RUN as hard as you can until you see the cats ." For nothing. Dacker went through an alleyway to try to escape his presumed followers. Then the smell hit him. Dacker gagged and turned around. He wished he hadn't done that. There was an old man's body with a rather big pool of blood. Dacker turned around and ran. He just wanted to get out of the horrific alleyway. Dacker saw someone in front of him. " Hello?" Dacker said. The person looked at him with bright purple eyes. " What do you want?" Dacker gulped as he realized that purple eyes were probably the killer of the old man. " J-Just p-pas-sing by s-sir." He said in a hurry. " You saw the body didn't you?" The- the thing smiled a smile that would later be in Dackers nightmares forever. Dacker turned and ran as fast as he could. Suddenly he saw a- helicopter? Passing by. A rope was flung over and a soldier in heavy armor jumped out. The soldier grabbed a futuristic weapon and fired at purple eyes. Dacker was frozen by the situation he had been thrust in. He just wanted to visit his mother.

"Alpha one radioing in, the silver rank monster has been cleared," " Copy, check the area to see if there are any other anomalies there. " " Sir, what do we do with the citizen? " " Has he seen the monster's face?" " Yes sir. " Load him onto the helicopter. " " Yes sir. "

Dacker woke up in some sort of hospital room. He saw a man dressed in a lab coat. " Hello citizen, we understand that you are probably very confused right now and we will answer your questions but we need you to answer some of our questions. First of all, what is your name? " Dacker answered, " Dacker." " Are you feeling strange feelings? " "No" " What happened in 1936? " " World war two ." " Who were the two side ? " " There were three sides, the Comentern, Axis and Allies, or technically five sides if you count the Chinese united pact and the East Asian Co-Prosperit Sphere ." " Alright ". The man asked Dacker more historical questions and held up some objects and asking him what they were and to use them. After what seemed to be an hour the questioning stopped. And they escourted him to a room. " This is your room for the remainder of your time here, would you like anything. " Dacker looked around. There was a computer, bed and picture with a door in the room leading to what he presumed to be the bathroom. " No I'm good." The man smiled and introduced himself," Hello, my name is Doctor Steve Gramlich, nice to meet you." they shook hands ." Now ask away whatever questions you have." " Where am I ?" " A forest in Canada. " " What military is holding me ? " " We are the Adventurers Insurgency of Mankind but most people call us AIM ." " Mankind? Is there other sapient races in this world? " " Yes there is " " What was that thing that attacked me ? " " That is a Silver rank monster . " " And whats that ? " " A monster. " " Where does it come from ." " Monsters come from all sorts of places, outer space, a different universe, they could even originate from Earth. " " What does AIM do ? " " AIM was founded by a man from long fast, in the dinosaur ages . We were originally called the Adventurers Guild and was renamed to AIM to be more modern. " " Why am I being kept here ? " " You saw the monster, we can't erase your memory since you saw the monster ." " What type of monster was that " " We unfourntinately don't know ."

After getting over the fact that monsters were real, Dacker was settling quite well. The food was great. The bed was comfortable and everything was free. He was interrupted by his reletively peaceful month by a man in a suit. " Sir, it is time for you to go, follow me." Dacker gulped and followed.

Many Minded
Synopsis: Issa Pyxis, Spacer orphan and illegal heretic, graduated from living on the streets to running with a gang years ago, but now it looks like that’s all going to change. Her inheritance, more specifically who—or what—she is, is catching up with her, and on a planet with the Emperor’s inquisitors slinking around in every shadow, nowhere is safe and no one can be trusted. What will she do? A cyberpunk story about identity, loneliness, covert infiltration, evil dystopias, and much more! Features: - Cyborgs and cyberpunk galore - This is indented to be somewhat “rational” and “hard” Sci-Fi story - Original Fiction however parts of my worldbuilding are inspired by other Sci-Fi stories (duh) Rationale: The future is cool, AIs are kickass, and questions about consciousness are simultaneously existential and yet unanswered. To me, this story is a vehicle for exploring these topics, and also, I wanted to write a story where the protagonist was unafraid of themselves and where their self is more like a git-repo than a meat computer. Disclaimer: This story primarily takes place in what we’d describe as a “cyberpunk dystopia” with some extra technocracy, autocracy, and religious fervor thrown into the mix, so there will be some “grittiness” in this story. Caveat emptor. Also, [insert your favorite boilerplate “views expressed” disclaimer here]. I shouldn’t need to say this, but the main character and other characters in my story can be wrong on occasion (gasp!) and the way they view the world isn’t always objective truth (if such a thing even exists) nor do their views and opinions necessarily reflect the views of me, the author. Cover art by me! [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Carus - Libertas
participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge and also having a go at NaNoWriMo this November. This was a first draft published as it was written for Nanowrimo November 2020. A little rough around the edges, I hope to come back and edit at some point, and then continue the story on. In the grand scheme of things Elias was nothing special. Which was why he was surprised by a random company on a new colony planet buying out his contract. That was the problem with the large companies that ruled the colonies, once they owned your contract, they owned you. Imagine the greater surprise when he learnt that the new company held the promise of freedom. Not from the constant battle against the Swarm that were also trying to claim the colony planets for their own. Nor from the Crust, the mysterious substance that covered the same planets and held the resources they all fought for. No, the freedom from being oppressed by those with more power and to finally decide where to go and where to set down roots and call home.

Now she lives in the post office of a river city lit by crystals, and her adoptive family wants to know what classes and statistics she wants to develop. She knows enough about games to guess how this kind of rule system works. But she used to be an aspiring chemist with a good knowledge of other science. All alone in an unfamiliar world, yet surrounded by family she barely knows, what can she do to make this new life meaningful? This story is a companion story to "Rising World", which currently exists in full on Amazon and has a visible preview here on RR. Many thanks to the readers who saw it while it was being written.
