《Machinarium》Chapter 10: [Scouting]
Advertisement
'ISAP, Open construct creator, load Scout blueprint'
The blue window opened and the scout blueprint loaded onto it.
'Hmm. I need this scout to be fast, but not strong.'
'Isap, Open the part creator screen!'
Another blue screen beside the construct screen opened up.
'Hmm. I need speed and agility. How would I do it?'
After minutes of thinking, I finally came up with an idea
I take the leg parts and start moving around It's joints to make animal-like legs.
'ISAP, save the animal legs as "scout legs 01"'
[Part saved as Scout legs 01]
Then, I turn back to the construct creator screen and replace the scout's legs with the new animatistic legs, and remove the weapons.
'ISAP, save this blueprint as "Recon drone 1"'
[Saved as "Recon drone 1"]
Finally, I press the summon button, and the dirt begins to shake violently as the construct pulls itself out of the ground.
'Recon drone, Go! Look for the orc clan base!'
"Acknowledged." It says, as it jumps into the trees and out of sight in under a minute.
'Alright, time to wait.'
'Carry me back home for now. It's faster.'
Alpha picks me up and hold me in his hands, and both began to walk.
'I wonder if humans live in this world? If so, then I don't want to meet them.'
Minutes turn to hours as we still walk.
'Damn, How far did we walk anyway?'
[Approximately 10 km, or 6.21 miles.]
The trees to the right of us begin to shake in a zig-zag line, and leaves begin to fall off. Suddenly, dirt gets kicked up as the recon construct lands in front of us.
"Leader, I have found the orc tribe. It seems as if they are getting ready to create a hunting party.", The recon drone says.

'ISAP, WHY IS THE RECON DRONE SO FAST? ISNT IT MADE OF LEVEL 1 PARTS?'
[Yes, it is in fact, made with level 1 parts. It is fast because its body is strong enough to handle it. Except it's legs break down extremely fast, so it must go inactive for hours to regenerate them.]
"Why does everything I make always either not work or breaks immediately!"
'Wait, did I say that out loud?
[Yes, Yes you did.]
'FUCK. NOW EVERYTHING KNOWS WHERE I AM!'
'Alright, New plan, Alpha and other sword drone, return to base.'
'Recon drone, bring me back to base as fast as possible. I have some matters to attend to.'
The recon drone takes me from alpha's hands and within a second we are gone.
Breezing past the trees, we soon make it back home.
The recon construct puts me down and begins to limp inside.
Once inside, its legs break in half and crumble into lumps of dirt, and it soon deactivates.
'So, I'm guessing you broke most of your legs?'
[You forced it to go as fast as possible. It will need 4 hours of inactivity to be functional again.]

World of Alvarra: Rise of the Vampire Lord
Van was born a dhampir with memories of past lives that plague him. If he does not overcome them, he may face a slow descent into insanity. Growing up in a world where the memories of his past lives, clash with the truth of this strange new world. A world where women outnumber men to a large margin and are in control. Filled with magic, ki, aura, and creatures from other dimensions trying to break into his world to devour it. Will Van survive and thrive and make sense of it all? This is a story where I’m hoping to take some things and put them on its head. Everyone has heard of isekai about now, but has anyone ever really contemplated what it would be like to have voices, visions, or archaic ideas and views swim around a person's mind? We also hear about how the mc’s always gets the harem. But what if that's because there are more women than men and women are somewhat biologically different then the women we know from our world. Imagine a society where anyone can become strong and since there are more women than men, there are more stronger women than stronger men and now apply medieval history and a view that men are lower than women because the goddess made women in her image. And what if, the mc isn’t the only one with memories of past lives, and he meets some people who have been driven insane because of it? This is my first time writing a book and showing it to potential thousands of people. I won’t promise that my work will be good right off the bat. But I'm hoping that, with enough constructive criticism, I can provide an interesting read for all comers and improve to match and exceed the expectations put on me. The image used above does not belong to me. Warning! There is blood, gore, sex, and rape!(not anymore...) I may not be a good writer yet, but I will try to give a more realistic and authentic view of this world. This world and what you know of it will be of the view of the mc. So if something does not make sense to you, it probably does not to the mc ethier. Finally. For the sex or smut, scenes. I will hide them under spoiler. But you should not have to worry about it until somewhere around chapter nineteen or twenty, so if you don’t want to continue reading a book with sex, stop there. I will also be putting an NSFW sign in the chapter heading to warn people ahead of time. (all sex scenes will now be moved to my Patreon and scribblehub.) Thank you for reading and please help me become the writer I am hoping to be as well as the writer you all deserve to read from.
