Change of Plans (Page 157)

~~~(POV: Scott Autumn)~~~

~~~(Location: Getting into Gaming Pod, Home)~~~

Jessica and I have spent plenty of time together this last day, and that should've been enough time for Aurora to get into the Weapons Depot left behind by The Primordium. The Aeternus Universe loads in. I stand up from my spot on the Command Deck, and I look around. "Look who's finally come back!" Durado's voice comes from my left.

He is as sarcastic as I've ever heard him, and I have a feeling that A...

William Jones I (Page 105)

~~~(POV: Ulysses Kennedy)~~~

~~~(Date: January 25th, 2026)~~~

~~~(Location: Hospital that William Jones is staying at, LA)~~~

~~~(Time: 12:35 PM)~~~

It takes longer to get through LA traffic than I'd hope. But Hannah and Bianca are getting along great. They're like friends already. We pull up to the Hospital, and I open the door. Hannah follows me out, and Bianca is the one that follows her out. "I can't believe this is happening..." Bianca starts to choke up again, an...

Buying Theron Time (Page 89)

~~~(POV: Nathan Opal)~~~

~~~(Outpost Deep Crystal, Ord Mantell)~~~

We step onto the elevator, and as Satele walks up to the console, I get a holo-call. I pull the holo-communicator off my belt and hold it in front of me. It turns on, and Theron appears. "I'm in position to move deeper into the base, but there are too many guards ahead. I need you guys to do what you're supposed to do." He doesn't need to say anymore.

Satele hears this and presses the button to go down to the...

Running into Trouble (Page 74)

~~~(POV: Lyatt Scott)~~~

~~~(Location: The Town of Bovire, Termal Empire)~~~

~~~(Date: February 16th, 2297)~~~

~~~(Time: 7:30 AM)~~~

My alarm goes off, my eyes easily open, and I stretch my body as I sit up. Today is the day I take on Epic Grade Dungeon Insects Breeding grounds. The boss drops the Rainbow Centipede Husk that Tesha is sending me after, and I'm excited to do another Dungeon. I stand up from my bed and make my way towards the door.

As I make my way ...

Getting your input

I wanted to ask what people thought about the stories so far.

And yes, I know that you'd want them to be longer chapters/pages, but it's A LOT of writing and work to do 2,500+ words a day, and some days I do 3,000+.

Thanks for always showing support guys. It means more to me than you'd ever believe.

Leaving to Meet William Jones (Page 104)

~~~(POV: Ulysses Kennedy)~~~

~~~(Date: January 25th, 2026)~~~

~~~(Location: Venice Beach, LA)~~~

~~~(Time: 12:08 PM)~~~

I sink the last shot from beyond the arch for the second game, and the crowd goes crazy. Venice Beach has gotten pretty crowded, and I'm looking forward to leaving with Hannah and Bianca to go meet William. I see Hannah waiting for me with a smile, and Bianca is next to her. I make my way over, and Hannah gives me a big hug.

She lets go, and I f...

It's Slow Going... (Page 156)

~~~(POV: Durado)~~~

~~~(Location: Immortalitas, Random system within Techese)~~~

Aurora has been... What do you call it? Overly overt in expressing her frustration... "WHAT THE FUCK WAA THE POINT OF MAKING A LOCK THIS COMPLEX ON SOMETHING THAT WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE FOUND!!!" She screams from her terminal, and I can't help but smile at her temporary misery. We have a weird relationship. One that thrives on pain and understanding.

She's been having a pretty hard time with the ...

Infiltrating Military Outpost Deep Crystal (Page 88)

~~~(POV: Theron Shan)~~~

~~~(Location: Riding Speeder Bike towards Outpost Deep Crystal, Ord Mantell)~~~

My datapad blinks, and that's the warning I'm getting close to Outpost Deep Crystal. I slow down and park. They're going to have radar and will be monitoring for anything coming in. What they won't be looking for is someone with a stealth generator. Using a Speeder Bike to get closer will only result in me getting seen sooner rather than later.

Satele and Nathan aren't th...

Arriving in Bovire (Page 73)

~~~(POV: Lyatt Scott)~~~

~~~(Location: Kedwein, City to the Easternmost Border of the Termal Empire)~~~

~~~(Date: February 15th, 2297)~~~

~~~(Time: 6:03 PM)~~~

Dozens of NPCs and Players are using the Teleportation Gates and Platforms. All of them are heading to different places and doing different things. My destination is The Town of Bovire and the Epic Grade Dungeon Insects Breeding Grounds near Bovire. Most of the trip can be covered in a single teleport, and for t...

Ellie's Interesting Lunch Visit (Page 103)

~~~(POV: Ulysses Kennedy)~~~

~~~(Date: January 25th, 2026)~~~

~~~(Location: Venice Beach, LA)~~~

~~~(Time: 11:37 AM)~~~

The game has resumed, and the two hotheads, Ray-Ray and JP, have settled down. They're still playing and guarding each other, but they've let out their anger. My team is on defense since Ray-Ray lost the ball on the last possession before getting into it with JP. I'm defending Jamal right now, and everyone around the court is still lively.

Fully Relaxed (Page 155)

~~~(POV: Scott Autumn)~~~

~~~(Location: In Bed, Home)~~~

Jessica is resting her body on mine, and we're both exhausted. I didn't intend to go for as long as I did, but I've needed a release for a while. She's satisfied, so am I, and my stamina has exceeded hers. "We're going to need to clean these sheets..." We both laugh as she randomly states something out of left field. But, it is related to the activities we indulged in.

Aurora is probably cursing up a storm trying to fi...

Military Outpost Deep Crystal (Page 87)

~~~(POV: Theron Shan)~~~

~~~(Location: Riding Speeder Bike towards Outpost Deep Crystal, Ord Mantell)~~~

As much as I hate all this, I need to ensure that whatever Nathan has said is true. All the things he's told me... If they are true, then the Republic and The Empire are in deep shit. The Star Cabal... I never thought the stories were true... It was just a way to interest SIS agents as they talked around a drink at the bar. Something to pass the time and listen to.

Yale is Permanently Banned (Page 72)

~~~(POV: Lyatt Scott)~~~

~~~(Location: Kedwein, City to the Easternmost Border of the Termal Empire)~~~

~~~(Date: February 15th, 2297)~~~

~~~(Time: 5:44 PM)~~~

As Kellison approaches, Yale backs up and crawls on the ground, and tries to getaway. But the barrier for the Duel halts any further escape. "Please, God!! I don't want to be Permanently Banned!! Please! Please, system!! Stop this Duel!!" Knowing that Kellison won't stop, Yale tries a last-ditch attempt and star...

Getting Off While Aurora Accesses The Weapons Depot (Page 154)

~~~(POV: Scott Autumn)~~~

~~~(Location: Getting out of Gaming Pod, Home)~~~

My body slightly pops, and I take a deep breath. That was something to remember for the rest of your life. After we were finished with Kelromera, we had a visitor. A Player Company by the name of Running Rogue Inc. was looking for us. "Aurora will have her hands full for a while." The Weapons Depot is locked, and even with me. It won't give access, so Aurora is going to hack into it.

While she's busy...

Venice Beach III (Page 102)

~~~(POV: Ulysses Kennedy)~~~

~~~(Date: January 25th, 2026)~~~

~~~(Location: Venice Beach, LA)~~~

~~~(Time: 11:34 AM)~~~

I've started off with 3 points, an assist, and a steal, and the is 4-1 in our favor, and we're on offense now since the opposing team missed a chance to score after my steal followed up by an assist. Venice Beach has already been a far better experience than Rucker Park. Mainly because the crowd isn't that big and the people here are way more relaxed....

Assaulting A Military Compound (Page 86)

~~~(POV: Nathan Opal)~~~

~~~(Location: Fort Garnik's Cantina, Ord Mantell)~~~

Now that they know who we're after and why we're after them. It's time to discuss where we'll be attacking. I've done some research and recon while I was waiting for them here. "We're hitting a Military compound that's located in a remote and deserted part of Ord Mantell. One that's away from any fighting or form of civilization." It's a great place to hide a Data Storage Facility.

No one is going ...

An Enemy Approaches (Part 1) (Page 53)

Ciri and I have entered the bakery and started trying some food. This is some of the best food I have come across in my travels. "This all smells and looks wonderful. I can't remember the last time I actually had something akin to what Yen used to make us at Kaer Morhen..." My hunger grows. Creamy cheesecakes and chocolate fudge line the counters along with others.

We approach the counter and smell the food. "Geralt was such a terrible cook. This is the best food I've seen since we were...

Yale and Kellison Duel (Page 71)

~~~(POV: Lyatt Scott)~~~

~~~(Location: Kedwein, City to the Easternmost Border of the Termal Empire)~~~

~~~(Date: February 15th, 2297)~~~

~~~(Time: 5:42 PM)~~~

This is a nice distraction from what I need to be doing, and I won't waste time like this normally. I'm watching this because it's rare for Players to put items and Permanent Bans on the line. A Duel in a city is usually to settle a dispute or show how skilled and powerful you are. Yale and Kellison press button...

Venice Beach II (Page 101)

~~~(POV: Ulysses Kennedy)~~~

~~~(Date: January 25th, 2026)~~~

~~~(Location: Venice Beach, LA)~~~

~~~(Time: 11:31 AM)~~~

The courts clear and start to form a circle around the one I'm about to play on. Everyone has their phones out, and Hannah is on the sidelines recording too. She has a beaming smile on her face, and she can't help but wave at me as I look at her. I focus on the game as the ball is inbounded to me. We're playing 5 on 5 and full court. First to 21 wins,...

Lizzy James, Leader of Running Rogue Inc. (Page 153)

~~~(POV: Lizzy James)~~~

~~~(Location: Debris Field, Remains of Kelromera in the Techese Galaxy)~~~

Jessica stands next to me and watches the recording of what happened repeatedly. I had to do the same thing to wrap my head around something too powerful. With the Parasite having consumed all of Impyra, many Players and their companies have had to find new places to rebuild. I was one of the lucky few to have a moving company by now.

This Capital Ship, Rogue's Retreat, is our...

The Story of The Star Cabal (Page 85)

~~~(POV: Nathan Opal)~~~

~~~(Location: Fort Garnik Cantina, Ord Mantell)~~~

Theron and Satele don't have the faintest idea of who and what the Star Cabal really is, and now is the perfect time to share the valuable information I have about a dangerous and unknown enemy with them. "The Star Cabal is more than just a legend that circles the galaxy... They're more real than you could possibly imagine." Theron and Satele both look away for a second with concerned looks.

I rememb...

A PVP Duel That I Needed to See (Page 70)

~~~(Location: Kedwein, City to the Easternmost Border of the Termal Empire)~~~

~~~(Date: February 15th, 2297)~~~

~~~(Time: 5:36 PM)~~~

I exit Tesha's shop and make my way down the street and towards the Teleportation Platform. I never expected to be jerked around so much by Tesha, but things don't always go according to plan. The bright side is once I'm done with getting The Rainbow Centepede Husk, I can finish up in Kedwein and finally check o...

Venice Beach I (Page 100)

~~~(POV: Ulysses Kennedy)~~~

~~~(Date: January 25th, 2026)~~~

~~~(Location: Driving to Venice Beach, LA)~~~

~~~(Time: 11:22 AM)~~~

Hannah and I spent about two and a half hours going to different stores that she wanted to see. There were many moments I had to fight the urges that my body started to have at seeing her in erotic underwear. She wasn't shy in the least, and she knew exactly what she was doing to me. If I didn't know any better, she enjoyed it too much. See...

Jessica's Been Busy (Page 152)

~~~(POV: Jessica Autumn)~~~

~~~(Location: Captial Ship in Company's Fleet, Hyperspace)~~~

The Player Corporation I'm a part of has been expanding and growing at a rapid pace, and I've gained an important role in the Corporation. Thanks to Scott and the Starship, Forbidden Fruit, he made me. I've become an important fighter pilot for the Player Corporation I'm a part of. The name of the Player Corporation is called Running Rogue Inc.

The name was made by the founder and leade...

An Invitation (Page 52)

We approach the table while following Francis. Looking at it, I can see properties and people's names. The list is long, and I can see a lot of names already crossed out. Along with some names that have been freshly added. "What am I looking at here?" If I didn't know any better, I'd say this is a hit list. Which is something I'm familiar with...

The Final Arrival (Page 84)

~~~(POV: Theron Shan)~~~

~~~(Location: Exiting Hyperspace, Ord Mantell)~~~

The blue hue of Hyperspace comes to a halt, and my vision is taken by the green and blue world of Ord Mantell. "Designation, Ord Mantell. Status, Civil War." The typical information comes from the computer. It sucks that I'm basically being forced to come here by the mother that abandoned me. If it's not worth my time, I'm leaving regardless. Orders be damn.

My ship locks onto Satele's Holo-Communicat...

~~~(Date: February 15th, 2297)~~~

~~~(Time: 5:19 PM)~~~

Tesha walks into the back of the store and waves for me to follow her. As mad as I am, Tesha isn't someone that would let a grudge or anger get in the way of things. Meaning my feelings at the moment doesn't matter to her. With a tired sigh, I make my way to her and into the back of the shop. It hasn't changed s...

The Destruction of Kelromera (Page 151)

~~~(POV: Scott Autumn)~~~

~~~(Location: Command Deck, Immortalitas)~~~

There are 5 minutes left until we're destroying Kelromera, and everyone on the planet has been evacuated. Their data says 100 percent evacuated, which leaves an empty world ready to be destroyed. "Aurora." She appears in the terminal next to me as I call her name. "Begin the charging of the Quantum Particle Cannon." It's one of several weapons at the disposal of Immortalitas.

It's not the same weapon used...

~~~(Location: The Ritz-Carlton Hotel, LA)~~~

~~~(Time: 8:37 AM)~~~

My hands pull down the front of Ulysses's shorts and underwear. A large, thick, and intimidating meat stick pops out and slaps against his stomach. I've seen it when we were in the bathtub, but unobscured by bubbles. It's far more present than I thought it be. "Sorry..." He immediately apologizes, and I look up at him.

First to Arrive (Page 83)

~~~(POV: Nathan Opal)~~~

~~~(Location: Fort Garnik Cantina, Ord Mantell)~~~

The day and night have passed quickly, and I'm enjoying the solitude of my room here. Satele and Theron should be arriving soon, and that'll mark the beginning of a meeting where Satele isn't going to be in my way. She's here to help me find information about The Star Cabal. Theron will be a great help with his skills and connections.

I lean up from my bed and roll my neck, releasing some of the stre...
