"where the hell is ken-chin?" mikey looked at his watch. he tapped his foot hurriedly at draken's tardiness. isn't it supposed to be the other way around?
mikey heard a noise coming closer each second. "move over!" a voice shouted. mikey immediately knew it was y/n's.
"very polite." mikey said sarcastically.
y/n held a huge jar of coins in her arms. "who cares about your feelings now, mikey?!" y/n shouted in exhaustion.
she placed the jar down on the ground. a bunch of coins filled up the huge jar. "damn, this should at least be 2,000 yen." mikey stared at the jar.
y/n gave the jar a pat in pride. "these are my savings of 6 years. you know, half of these are yours." y/n admitted as she picked up the jar again.
"MINE?" mikey asked in shock.
"mikey, it's not my fault you drop loose change everywhere." y/n breathed in and out from the heavy weight.
mikey stared off into the distance as he tried to remember it. "oh yeah. i used to do that." mikey remembered while laughing.
y/n furrowed her eyebrows. "used to?" she pointed at the coin on the ground.
mikey picked it up in happiness. "what do you need the jar for?" mikey asked.
"it's for the wishing well." y/n motioned towards the well.
mikey stared at it and at the coin. "i want to wish there too." mikey flipped his coin.
"then let's go."
—
y/n opened the jar of coins. up close, they were a lot. y/n picked up a nail polish stained coin. "this is yours." y/n handed it to mikey.
mikey looked at the blue nail polish. "this isn't mine. this has nail polish on it." mikey handed it back over to y/n.

"no, it's yours. remember when i painted your nails that one time?" y/n tried to remind him.
mikey remembered by widening his eyes. "GOD WHY DID I REMEMBER IT AGAIN?" mikey hid his face in frustration.
"MIKEY. PAY ATTENTION AND SHUT UP. just throw the blue stained coin into the well and wish. that's it." y/n simply said.
she grabbed a random coin from her jar and held it in her hands. she intertwined her hands together and whispered things under breath. "what are you brewing there, witch?" mikey asked her jokingly.
"that's how i wish! now you wish too!" y/n returned back into her praying mode.
the whole point of today: draken, approached them. "hey mike—." draken began but stopped at the sight of both of them. he saw them both smiling from ear to ear. do they not see it?
mikey laughed at y/n under his breath. but stopped when he realized he didn't know what to wish for.
the safety of his members? no, only they can guarantee that.
to protect his gang at all costs? that's not guaranteed.
there wasn't anything he could wish for. he looked over to his right and saw that girl wishing her heart away. he smiled slightly. his grip on the coin tightened. i wish she'd stay with me mikey wished before throwing the coin into the well.
y/n opened her eyes when she heard the coin hit the bottom of the well. "how did you wish for something so fast?!" y/n shouted in amazement.
she looked down the well admirably. "it was easy." mikey stared at y/n.
mikey turned around at the feeling of a presence behind him. and he was right. draken looked at both of them from afar with a small smirk. "look who finally decided to show up." mikey said, walking towards him.

y/n went back into wishing for whatever. "mikey, i know you like her." draken told mikey. but quiet enough for no one to hear.
mikey just stood there and looked at y/n. when he made sure she probably wasn't listening he said, "so what if i do?"
draken shook his head and they both walked away. but little did they know,,, "mikey... likes me?" y/n's hands fell down in confusion.

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.
