Senior Scrimmage Game against Edwin High VI (Page 50)

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

~~~(Date: October 8th, 2025)~~~

~~~(Time: 4:00 PM)~~~

~~~(Location: Holden Basketball Court)~~~

It's the fourth quarter, and there are 3 minutes left. After halftime, I decided to take the game over. Coach Rodgers didn't like how close the game was. It was 28-22, and I kept letting my teammates try and score and make plays. They're still getting used to it. The score is now 79-37. I have 44 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists, 7 blocks, and 4 s...

Learning more about who's watching me (Page 79)

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

I slowly raise my head as I come out of sleep. I brought Jess and me out to the couch to watch some TV and relax. I remember dozing off. I move slightly, and that's when I hear a groan of protest. I look, and Jess is still in my arms. She has her head against my bare chest and is sleeping. I'm still in my towel. I slowly lift her off me and place her on the couch. She moves slightly as I do it but otherwise stays asleep. I stand up and walk towards my bedroom. ...

Reaching Out to Old Connections (Page 78)

~~~(POV: Durado)~~~

The next place I should go for information regarding Teller-Bravo is the bounty hunter headquarters. There are a lot of people there that can tell things I'll need to know. I head outside my apartment and towards the spaceport. The spaceport is extremely busy, with all the players getting their hands on ships. The number of players leaving Empyrian is rising too. Everyone's getting the last things they need before going out on their great big adventures. I walk towar...

Senior Scrimmage Game against Edwin High V (Page 49)

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

~~~(Date: October 8th, 2025)~~~

~~~(Time: 3:45 PM)~~~

~~~(Location: Holden Basketball Court)~~~

The break between the first and second quarters end, and I slowly walk back out onto the court. It's Edwin's ball, and we're on defense. Before the refs can blow the whistle, Coach Rodgers gets my attention. "If things get too hard for them out there, you're going to have to take over." I nod my head, and he takes a visible sigh of relief. The te...

Putting the fanfiction on hold for a few more days

I'm going to be honest and say that it's really hard to write for the fanfictions right now cause I'm writing so much already. I'm trying to find the energy for it, but I just can't. I'm going to try again in a few days, but I understand if you want to cancel any subscriptions because of this. Some of you are only supporting me to produce fanfictions.

Senior Scrimmage Game against Edwin High IV (Page 48)

~~~(POV: NBA Scout for New York Knicks, name: John Keen)~~~

~~~(Date: October 8th, 2025)~~~

~~~(Time: 3:41 PM)~~~

~~~(Location: Holden Basketball Court, bleachers)~~~

He's absolutely amazing... I've been watching his young career very closely, and I'm not the only one. There are more than 25 scouts here to watch him and try to build a relationship. The Knicks are tanking hard to get a chance at him in the draft, and so are others. The bottom 8 NBA teams are all at each...

Teller-Bravo and the Yelare System (Page 77)

~~~(POV: Durado)~~~

Ziller coughs a little and tries to catch his breath. He's exhausted and looks ready to pass out. "The Primordium and their tech are the most valuable things in the universe. However, Heroor wasn't the only thing Teller-Bravo was interested in. I hacked into one of their servers before we were scapegoated. The Primordium left clues and coordinates to a location. The file said that the encryption on the information was too hard to crack." Ziller's natural defiance and...

Ziller is nearing his Limit (Page 76)

~~~(POV: Durado)~~~

I watch as Ziller takes multiple deep breaths. His body is lightly covered in acid burns, and most of his fingers and toes are missing. He won't die from blood loss. I'm making sure of that. "I can end your suffering, Ziller. All you have to do is tell me what I want to know." Ziller looks up from the ground, and his eyes are red from crying. Not emotional pain, but from physical pain. He sees me looking and my uncaring gaze. He knows there is no way out of this, and...

Senior Scrimmage Game against Edwin High III (Page 47)

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

~~~(Date: October 8th, 2025)~~~

~~~(Time: 3:37 PM)~~~

~~~(Location: Holden Basketball Court)~~~

I get the ball passed to me, and I'm double-teamed yet again. They scored last possession for the first time this game. So they're feeling a bit fired up, but after being defended by Lebron at Rucker Park. It's not even comparable. Doubled or not. I see my shooting guard open again on the wing, and I pass the ball to him. I could've scored if I w...

Regarding fanfictions

I'll start writing for the fanfictions again on August 26th. I haven't been writing that much with everything going on, but since my mom is home and is doing better, I can hop back on the regular schedule.

New Planets Being discovered (Page 75)

I head to the main forum on The Aeternus Universe official website and the discoveries tab on the forum pages. I begin to slowly scroll and see the many new things players are finding. The planets that are being discovered are mostly gas giants and uninhabitable worlds. There are screenshots and coordinates to go with the posts too. They're beautiful planets regardless of habitable or not. A planet needs to fulfill very specific conditions to support life. It's so rare that terraforming plane...

Senior Scrimmage Game against Edwin High II (Page 46)

~~~(POV: Hannah Fiona)~~~

~~~(Date: October 8th, 2025)~~~

~~~(Time: 3:32 PM)~~~

~~~(Location: Bleachers)~~~

I stare a hole through the dumb blond cheerleading bitch. I've never seen such blatant flirting before. Well, I couldn't hear anything she was saying. I'm sure it was flirty and whorish. Ellie wraps an arm around me as Ulysses scores the first basket of the game with a three. The crowd goes crazy, and my attention is taken off the cheerleader and on Ulysses. "Don...

Senior Scrimmage Game against Edwin High I (Page 45)

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

~~~(Date: October 8th, 2025)~~~

~~~(Time: 3:25 PM)~~~

~~~(Location: Holden Highschool Locker Room)~~~

I lace up my shoes and put on my jersey. My favorite number is 24, and despite the fact, it's Kobe Bryant's number. That isn't why it's my favorite number. That's the date of Ellie's birthday. Kobe is a role model to me, but the real reason I'm wearing this number is because of Ellie. Coach Rodgers enters the locker room, and we can hear th...

Pleiknor and Meiklare's Request (Page 74)

I stand up from the chair I'm sitting in, and I make my way to the couch. I close my eyes and dive into my mind. Going through my memories. I look at all the designs that I've come up with, and I skip to the one I'm using for Jess. It's a starship that no one else will have, and it'll be my best work yet. It's a powerhouse in terms of damage output. Its shielding technology is something I'm really proud of. She will be the one to name the ship, so I don't have a name for it right now. It's on...

Interesting Developments (Page 73)

Now that all I have to do is wait for the parts to be delivered, I should see if any interesting developments among the players have happened. It's been long enough for significant things to happen, guilds transferring over and powerbases to be secured. The players that have left Empyrian are either a part of the major guilds in the gaming market or hardcore solo players. I head back into the apartment, and I make my way over to the computers. I look up information regarding players, and plen...

Date at The Ice Rink (Page 44)

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

~~~(Date: September 30th, 2025)~~~

~~~(Time: 6:13 PM)~~~

~~~(Location: Holden Indoor Ice Rink)~~~

Hannah parks the car, and we both look at the ice rink. I smile, knowing that there won't be any eyes watching us right now. Coach Rodgers is probably mad that I'm skipping practice right now, but I really do need a break from the NBA scouts. I was really dumb in thinking my scout problem would go away. Instead, it's gotten worse. They're const...

I get to see my mom today!

I'm going to the hospital today to see her. I'm really excited that I get to. They say she's going much better. She's got movement back in her right arm, and her face isn't drooping as bad. She's still having a hard time speaking, but that's going to improve with time.

There are going to be three uploads today. I was able to write some yesterday when I got the news that she's doing better. 

There will be one upload apiece for The Aeternus Universe, A Chance Again, and Nanites...

Uploads for August 21st

I won't be posting any chapters on anything other than 'Nanites After the End' tomorrow on August 21st. 

I have chapters stockpiled for it, and I'll release three of them. Sorry about this, guys, but I just can't write. I'm glad I have a stockpile for at least one story. 

I'm not going to be posting anything today

I can't focus on writing with my mom in the hospital right now. I'll try and get chapters out tomorrow, I hope you all understand.

Need some prayer...

My mother is in the hospital after suffering from a stroke on the left side of her brain. This is the second stroke she's suffered. Back in 2013, she had one on the right side. 

I'm not going to force anyone to pray if you don't believe in something like that, but please keep her in your thoughts.

Help easyreads mother.

Back to The Aeternus Universe (Page 72)

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

I stand up from the edge of the bed, and I hear Jess whimper out at my absence. She'll be perfectly fine without me. I walk over to my gaming pod, and I get inside. It slowly closes, and the headgear comes down, and I slip into unconsciousness. After a couple of seconds, I'm loaded in, and I'm in my apartment. I move my in-game body around, and I look at the time. Time moves differently on Empyrian than the real world. It isn't that much of a difference, but a ...

Trading One Nuisance for Another (Page 43)

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

~~~(Date: September 30th, 2025)~~~

~~~(Time: 7:45 AM)~~~

~~~(Location: Holden High School Gym)~~~

I'm now able to practice in peace. It's been three days since they announced that the NBA is allowing me to skip college. The fallout from the announcement has been severe, but that's not my problem. I'm getting what I want, and whatever the NBA has to deal with because of this isn't something that I need to concern myself with. However, someth...

Escalation (Page 45)

~~~(POV: Grandmaster Satele Shan)~~~

~~~(Location: Republic Fleet)~~~

I stop meditating, and I stand up. I leave my quarters and head for General Garza's meeting room. There is a discussion about a secret mission today. Why she's asking for my presence is unknown to me. However, the force is guiding me in all my actions. I enter the meeting room, and there are many different people from multiple branches of the government. Many special forces soldiers, and there are senators as we...

A perfect morning (Part 1) (Page 18)

It's nice and warm under the blankets, with our naked bodies warming us up. My mind is still fuzzy from last night. I can feel Ciri moving in my grasp. I roll away from her and lay on my back while she's still using my left arm as a pillow. I look and see an early morning sun starting to rise out the window. I feel some movement, and Ciri has gotten closer as she wrapped her arms around me with her head resting on my chest. I'm a body pillow now.

I don't see the harm in sleeping in till...

Ziller's Suffering (page 71)

~~~(POV: Durado)~~~

I bring the Hydrofluoric Acid next to Ziller, and he is struggling to get free from his shackles. They are made of a special titanium alloy. He's not going anywhere. I have a chair across from him, and I sit in it. "Did you know that most alien races are made up of the same elements? Fascinating how many different life forms that look vastly different have some of the same chemical makeup for their skins." He is looking at me like I'm a mad man. I'm a father looking ...

Suspicious (Page 39)

~~~(POV: Albus Wolfric Dumbledore)~~~

~~~(Location: Headmasters Office)~~~

~~~(Date: September 3rd, 1991)~~~

~~~(Time: 5:52 PM)~~~

Severus has brought up some concerning news regarding our DADA teacher. Professor Quirrell has always been a fidgety man, and from my memory, he was teased an awful amount for his quirks.

I don't see how he can have anything to do with Tom, though. From what I understand, the spell Lily used would protect and warn Harry until his 18th...

Breaking News (Page 42)

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

~~~(Date: September 27th, 2025)~~~

~~~(Time: 5:15 AM)~~~

~~~(Location: Home)~~~

My morning alarm goes off, and I get out of bed. Today is Monday, which means it's time for school. I head for the bathroom and quickly jump into the shower. Enjoying the fact I can now take one comfortably. I clean up and get out, I look into the mirror, and it's time to shave the facial hair. While the rest of my body doesn't have hair. My face, head, and lowe...

Landing at the Airport (Page 41)

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

~~~(Date: September 26th, 2025)~~~

~~~(Time: 10:14 AM)~~~

~~~(Location: Holden Airport)~~~

The plan begins to rumble as we slow down on the runway. I'm excited to see Hannah, more than I thought I'd be. After the plan attaches to the undocking tunnel, we can stand up and collect our things. I grab my single carry-on with my few clothes in it. I grab Ellie's for her since she can't really reach hers. While I have to bend forwards to, I can w...

The Power of Intelligence like Mine (Page 70)

I watch the reporter give details on the leak I posted, and my pride is stroked as it happens. I need to be careful about that. Pride is the deadliest of the sins. "William Rake is actually a notorious con man the government has been after for many years! His real name at this time isn't known, and all we have are a list of aliases provided on the forums where William Rake's information was leaked." I turn off the TV with the sound of my voice, and I lean back on my couch. It was so easy to b...

No fanfiction post today August 17th, 2021

I've been writing 4300+ words every day for the last 5 days, trying to keep the uploads for the fanfictions going, but I need a break. So no fanfictions today. I'll try and get them out tomorrow, though.
