《Accidentally Adopted by iBallisticSquid》The Fire
Advertisement
Squid's PoV:
Tom had just left to go to bed and I had decided to stay with Izzy. She seemed really nice but I had no idea why she was here. She wasn't that clean and looked like she hadn't had a shower for a few days. So I asked her,"What were you and Flo doing out there?" Her expression changed and I could tell she was thinking about what to say but then her expression changed again, to pain, and jolted up. However she must've sat up to quickly and her dizziness came back. She fell, I lent out to catch her but I suddenly felt huge pain in my arm so I pulled away, backwards. I felt my burnt arm hit into something warm, not hot just warm. I felt myself hit the ground and so I just layed there. I don't know how long I was there but it felt like it was only a few minutes. I could feel heat behind me and I could smell smoke, I heard the fire alarm go off and Tom, Nicole and Flo running down the stairs. I heard distant sirens and then Tom came in he tried to grab me and pull me out, "Tom, no. Get Izzy." I said to him. "No. I'm taking you." With the last strength I had I fought against his grip and finally he obeyed and I felt him move over to Izzy and he ran out of the room. Suddenly he was back and pulling me, this time I let him. He pulled me out of the room and into the hallway where I felt two strong men pick me up and take me outside. I was placed in a bed and taken into an ambulance. There were people all around me, then as I was being fitted with a breathing tube, most of them left and went to the other side of the ambulance. I looked over and I could see Izzy, she had the same as me, she was on a bed, she had a breathing tube, the only difference between her and me was that I was awake and she definitely wasn't.

*Time Skip*
I was sitting in my ward, the doctors had bandaged my burnt arm up and I still had the breathing tube on although that would be off soon, other than that I was fine. I was really worried about the house, the pets but strangely, even though I had only just met her, I was mostly worried about Izzy. Just then Nicole came rushing in and she hugged me. She looked like she had been crying. "Look I'm fine." I told her. "Are you sure?" She asked me. I nodded as it was had to speak through the breathing tube. Then, conveniently a doctor came in and told me that I no longer needed the tube and he removed it. He told me that I needed to rest my voice so that meant no recording for the next week. I sighed but I guess it was to be expected and I'm sure the fans would understand.
Nicole then told me that the house was fine only the sitting room has been damaged as the firemen had been able to get to it quick enough. Also the firemen had managed to rescue all the pets and they were with Ash at his house now. That was a relief, I trusted Ash with them. "How is Izzy?" I asked. "She's fine. Flo is with her now." I nodded with relief. I don't know why I cared about her so much.
Then a man that I had never seen in my life came in. He introduced himself as Adam the head care worker at the kids home that Izzy and Flo had come from. So they were care kids, I had no idea. He explained that they had run away and that they were grateful for us looking after them. He also said that they would be going to the care home in Huddersfield for two weeks which would be enough time for them to get better and then they would go back to there normal care home. They have already left. I nodded I was so sad, I would miss Izzy and I didn't even get to say goodbye.

I mean Flo was nice but really I liked Izzy more. Adam left just as Tom entered. "Who was that man?" Tom said looking confused. Nicole explained everything to him. I turned and looked at Nicole. "Can we adopt Izzy." She looked shocked and so did Tom. "We barely know her. So no." She said. I looked down in disappointment.
The doctor came back in, "David Spencer." He said. I nodded. "You can go home now, we have been informed that your sitting room has been blocked off and it is now safe for you to go back to your house. Do not go inside the sitting room." He said looking at all of us. We nodded and I climbed out of bed and we left the hospital. I climbed into the front passenger seat, Nicole sat in the drivers seat and Tom climbed in the back. We started to drive home in silence. I didn't really want to talk I was angry at Nicole for saying "No" but I guess I couldn't blame her. It was true we barely knew her.

The Madec Legacy
The dawn of Emotion Based A.I.s is here, John is the fifth test subject to have an AI implemented in his brain, and so far the first one to survive. Blinded by the dream of immortality, the researchers push the tests to inhumane standards. John is obligated to take part in sessions of torture designed to test the limits of the AI influence over the physical and mental health. What was supposed to be a new beginning in life turns into living hell. An (un)lucky twist ends his life. John then reincarnates with his AI in a new world where a System influences the interaction between Magic and Matter. With seemingly limitless potential and a game-like system influencing the world, the hero sets on his journey. --AUTHOR NOTE, PLEASE READ-- I will state here my promises to you, potential reader: 1. No harem! I don't trust myself to make a harem feel natural or healthy, I never met any person who has a personality that can adapt and live in a harem for reasons that are not monetary, so I can't draw inspiration from real life. Sorry!; 2. The enemies will not be bland and illogically mean. Some may feel like that at first, but I will take great care in fleshing them out, trust me. You may end up hating some, but you won't be able to deny that they had their reasons for what they did; 3. I am using a paid (and expensive) automated editor tool, and I take longer to write because I take my time in editing the stuff. I am aiming to improve and I will not shy away from constructive criticism, nor take offense for no reason; 4. Characters will die and will suffer, some will get over the tragedies and improve, others will not be as resilient. 5. This novel has a lot of ground to cover, it is neither a short story, a manual on crafting, or the script of some action scene. There will be both time skips and oversimplifications of some actions for the sake of moving the story forward. Time skips will be more prominent in the first 30 chapters. I will describe crafting processes and fights with more detail if they are essential for the chapter; 6. If I took my time describing something, it's because it is important. I hate novels that waste time describing useless stuff. If you skim over something, the chances are that something in the future will not make sense. I am an adept of "Chekhov's gun" principle; 7. I already have 31k words on my auxiliary documents, I have a plan for the story, and I will not be making changes even if someone ends up noticing some foreshadowing and figures out what will happen. The story comes first. 8. I have a wife, a job that demands 9h every day and courses related to my job (lawyer) three days of the week, it's unlikely that I will be able to do mass releases at all. I will have a healthy amount of chapters to be able to post at least 1 chapter every day continually. Don't worry. 9. I will read all the comments. I will listen to all you have to say and will try my best to accommodate demands as long as they do not hamper the path I prepared. 10. There is an arc that spans the entire novel. Each volume will be an arc in itself while progressing a little bit of the main arc. Every arc will have one or more main antagonists. I think that's it! Thank you for reading it all. Have an awesome time reading my first novel!!
