I want to hear some names for the Parasite!

There are times when I can't think of a name for the life of me, and that's when I turn to all of you!

Comment what you think the name of The Parasite should be from The Aeternus Universe. I'd like a name for the Hivemind as well, and if it's not obvious enough, this is inspired by The Flood from Halo, but I'm going to make massive differences along with some similarities.

Let's see those suggestions, guys and gals!!

Just when I thought that I got away from the goddamn Parasite, it shows up here! It must've hitchhiked a ride on the ship! Knowing we were escaping to a larger settlement! Even after I scanned everything and everyone in the ship, it still got past my efforts to protect the rest of the Impyra galaxy! The scenes below me are disturbing, to say the least.

Quest to Unlock Alchemy (Page 42)

The information regarding the quest is everything that I remember it to be, and the important thing to know about this quest is it has very little to do with the actual gathering of herbs and other such things. I'm going to need to fight against a monster that spawns in the western forests near Kedwein. It's n...

The page I wrote for A Chance Again for today isn't at the standard that I want it at, and I tried to fix it multiple times, but it's not turning out the way I want. So I completely scrapped it and I'm starting over. 

I'll release two pages tomorrow, I might even do three. Sorry for that inconvenience guys and gals, I don't want to release a page that isn't at the standard that I set.

Landing on Balmorra (Page 57)

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

~~~(Location: Exiting Hyperspace, Balmorra)~~~

The view of Balmorra comes through the flight deck's window as I exit Hyperspace. I sense many Sith and Jedi on this world. I input the commands that are needed to land on the surface, and I watch the ship bring itself down and land in a remote mountain range. The views are nice, and I see distant skirmishes in multiple directions. My mission is complicated here.

I've spent enough time in the real world, and it's time that I get back to my grind. Tesha Lacroix is the woman I'm going to speak to after I get back, and I'm hoping she'll give me the quest to unlock the Alchemy crafting skill. She should, but knowing her, she might try to pull something. I can't be entirely sure. Her personality allows her to do unpredic...

I'm doing my best to skate as gracefully as Jess, but she's far more skilled at this than I am. All my mental genius, and I still suck at skating. Some things will never change. Jess is at my side, and she's keeping her hand in mine, and even when I'm about to fall, she tries her best to keep me steady. "You're heavy, Scott... Try and not fall..." She helps me balance out again.

Question for the Patrons!

I'd like to know what everyone thinks about The Aeternus Universe and The Libertas Dive. I'd like to know if people are liking the directions the stories are taking. 

These are my main interests to write, and I know many of you like The Aeternus Universe.

Heading to Balmorra (Page 56)

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

~~~(Location: Personal Ship, Hyperspace)~~~

Balmorra is an important location in regards to either the Empire's or Republics' war efforts. It holds a strategic position between the Core worlds and Colonies that can run supplies to either side's fronts on other worlds. It's locked in a civil war at the moment and is being secretly supported by both sides. Technically, Balmorra belongs to the Empire.

There are millions of people that would disagree wit...

The Minstrel (Part 2) (Page 42)

They're both great Gwent players, but Ciri's in a league of her own. Jaskier has been filling us in about the world. Talked about Geralt and Yennefer's friends that I never got to meet because I left. Ciri has been talking about her adventurers in other worlds. I was running around as the emissary of The Devil while this was happening.

Jaskier brings up something that I wish he didn't. "So, Cera... Is the story of what happened in Einearth true?" That's something I don't want Ciri to kn...

Disturbing Reports (Page 123)

The footage from the space station and colony in the Gord-Prime system has shed some much-needed light on the Parasite and its capabilities. Teller-Bravo's high command authorized a test on a live site filled with healthy hosts, but I never imagined everything that's happened. The Carrier form of the Parasite seems the most interesting to me.

I sink the free throw and make my point total 14 this first quarter. The way this game is going, I'm going to score 40+. I know I can score whatever amount I want, but when I push myself, I can reach the higher numbers in the 70s and 80s. While I've never done it in an official game, I know I'm capable of it.

His power has grown exponentially, and it's caused problems galaxy-wide.

Libertas has the largest followings for a VRMMORPG to date, and there is a lot of information circling the forums.

Most Top 50 guilds don't post on public sites.

Jess holds my hand as we walk up the stairs to the indoor skating rink. "Let me punch in the passcode." My mind immediately retrieves the information, and the door clicks open once I do. She enters before me, and I follow her in. We're both lightly bundled due to the temperature change in here. While we walk towards the benches to put on our skates, Nicky comes over.

She smiles as I stand up, and I hug her. The height difference is apparent as I pick her ...

My fellow Darths of the Sith Empire bicker amongst themselves. Ravage, and Thanaton are at each other's throats. They're too different from agreeing on anything, and the topic that's being debated is who shall lead the strike on Tatooine. Personally, I think it's suicidal. Everyone who's worthy of a note knows that Tatooine is a no-go zone.

My Dark Burst and Dread Wave both connect, and the Nature Avatar screams in pain. Wasting time between attacks isn't my style, so I'm going to use this opportunity.

Question about A Chance Again

I'd like to ask why it was voted to stay when it doesn't get any likes from anyone?

How I determine how good a story is doing is based on the likes and comments it gets. I can't tell if anyone likes it or not otherwise.
