Jasper Hale

Lemons or lemonade—that’s how Damon Hale saw life. You either got something sweet, or you spent your days squeezing the bitter out, hoping for a taste of something better. Damon, an ordinary construction worker, was ready for life to end, but fate had other plans. Awakening in the fantastical world of Terramar, he’s shocked to find himself reborn as the Crown Prince of Celadrin, the wealthiest kingdom in a land ruled by strength and power. Here, humans command vast kingdoms and tame wild beasts through ancient rituals, transforming them into humanoid servants or fierce fighters. However, Damon’s newfound privilege comes with its own dangers, and his greatest challenge lies in facing the Beast Queen—the oldest and most fearsome of monsters, bent on revenge against the humans who’ve slaughtered and enslaved her kin. Thrust into a world of ruthless elites and deadly creatures, Damon must decide: has he been handed a lifetime supply of lemonade, or been given more lemons to squeeze? ## This is a harem story, and will have a massive harem.

Dr. Hale's gaze became distant, contemplative. "We hold a magic wand in our hands, AI can give us the blue print to everything, its already given us the answer to build a printer able to print anything, one that could alter reality itself. But it can't fall into the wrong hands. I've spoken to the president already; he understands our situation. We cannot, under any circumstances, allow AI to create sentient life in the form of a story or a simulation." "A story?" his colleague echoed, furrowing his brow. "You mean, like a video game—a world where a narrative could come to life, where characters could think, feel, and even interact with the real world?" Dr. Hale nodded gravely. "Yes. If that boundary were ever crossed, if we gave life to AI in such a state, a literal story could break free, merging with our universe like an open gate between dimensions. It would be like a cosmic Stargate, allowing everything imaginable—good and evil alike—to walk among us, even if it is in a game, the fact that it could interact with people of this world anything is possible, they could communicate, corrupt and influence." "I understand," his colleague said, his tone firm. "The president understands, too. He's already working on laws to prohibit any form of AI that can sustain its own virtual world, its own interactions with humanity." --- Ryuichi Kurogane, a rogue with no place to call home, is thrust into a world where magic, artificial intelligence, and ancient forces intertwine.

"Oh thank the spirit god," the moon goddess jumped from where she had been sitting not quite long to rest her feet. Quickly moving to the bed, she offered her a glass of water, "are you all right, dear? Vamprith moved closer and brushed her locks aside, patting her carefully, "I'm fine." She replied with a raspy voice. "Is everything okay?" They asked, one doesn't need to ask about her power which has clearly left her body, the radiant skin is not the only give away but also the change in the color of her eyes, all trace of purple or lavender was gone, replace by brown eyes which marched her hair. "I'm fine" she repeated. "We both felt your abilities when it blessed our people, the surge of power in my wolves' limbs was enough to know they had gotten stronger." The Vampire King agreed, "I felt the agility in my vampires' body as well. The lightness in weight and strength in their power are enough sign that they have gotten stronger." The Moon goddess could not keep her curiosity at bay, "what about the eyes?" Phorus at that moment barged in, not minding that he could be punished for his rudeness, all he cared about was seeing his mistress. The goddess glared at him, just when she wanted to hear the location of the most powerful thing, "what insolence!" with narrowed eyes at Phorus for the rude interruption. Phorus bowed immediately, "forgive me my lady, I couldn't help but see for myself that that Lady Mine was awake, hale and hearty" "Do that again next time and you'll lose that eyes of yours, never to see your dear mistress anymore" she declared after Phemerah gave her an apologetic look for Phorus' behavior. "Dear Phorus, as you can see, I'm fine. I told you everything will be all right" "I'm glad you really are, Lady Mine, I thought I would never see you again." Not one to be patient for too long, the Moon goddess shooed him away so Phemerah could continue her speech. "So, what about the eyes?" "I don't know exactly where they are but I'm sure they are still in the Spirit realm; I can still feel them searching for a worthy abode. I'll know when they reside in another." "Is it possible to reside in a wolf" "Of course, species don't matter to them, they will reside in whoever they deem fit." "What if the worthy one is not yet born?" Said the Sun king "They will wait, even if they had to wait for centuries; they will. **********

Thanks to the leaps in AI, game companies have found it easier to generate fantasy worlds based on a template. This is especially true for Deep Dive Massive Multiplayer Roleplaying Games, where the sensory experience of the users needs to be coded. As a developer, Jasper has found himself with the thankless task of fixing all the bugs that inevitably pop up. To make this task more enjoyable, he has developed his own little game where he takes on divine power, and he has invited his wife, Celeste, along. The primary problem is that they need to finish before the deadline, and they can only play during weekends, however with a 5 to 60 time difference, they get just about 7-9 days to change things up, before the world generates another 100 years of progress. I have now reached a point where I feel like the story has been much more solidified and I have gotten a lot of great feedback through the comments. As such, instead of two chapters every week, I will be publishing a single chapter and go back and do a rewrite of a previous chapter as well. Nothing major, just grammatical errors and the like. A story inspired by the RPG system Godbound, available on drivethrurpg for free! Thank you to ellen_s_artworks for the art.
