Silai Machine Gear Setting

The two men couldn't have looked more out of place on the cold afternoon streets of New Hadepee. The first was a scrawny fellow, no taller than five foot eight, wearing a white shirt marred with ugly reddish-brown stains and a pair of plain tan pants. His companion, by contrast, carried himself with an air of quiet authority—a regal-looking man with a neatly trimmed black beard, wrapped in a great black coat with a red scarf pulled snug around his neck. "I heard the man himself has come back," the one in the stained shirt said, carefully balancing on the curb with his arms outstretched. "Oh? And where did you hear that?" his companion asked, turning his head with amusement to watch the precarious balancing act. "Welp, the sergeant major told me to go down to Olker, so I figured that could only mean he's back," the man in the white shirt replied. "Vistor has close cultural and political ties with the kingdom of Olker. Don't you think it's just a protection job?" the older man in black inquired, a hint of humor in his voice. "Oh, come on, Mang, you know they'd never give someone like me a protection job," the man in the white shirt scoffed, jumping off the curb and spinning around a lamppost. The older man—now known as Mang—came to a halt, reaching into his coat and pulling out an envelope. "Well, Tai, I suppose you're wrong." Mang handed the envelope to him. Tai peeled open the envelope, sliding out the letter and studying it carefully. "Oh wow, so Marlin is marrying the queen of those people?" he asked with a shrug. "She is not a queen. Don't let anyone call her that," Mang snapped. "And if her people weren't so damn difficult, we would have annexed them already." "So we let them succeed but not Gascon? Whose idea was that? They're more like us than those humans are," Tai said, frowning. "Gascon was willing to sell to the Emperor for a small chunk of change," Mang quipped. "The Noctrous family was not." "Ok so what's that matter, all we need is a little persuasion to change their minds? We killed the chief of Gnomandale and sent his stuffed head back to them, then they sold Gnomendale to us. All we need to do to get Olker is beat the hell out of Sylvie and she will sell." Tai folds the letter and places it back into the envelope. "Tai, the people of Vistor don't have the heart to see us beat up the Eladrin people like we did the Gnomes, and plus their Chief tramp Silvye is much too pretty for us to put her head on a stick."  "Welp, it's our loss," Tai muttered, spitting onto the sidewalk. "No, it's not. Not if Chester is back…" Tai frowned. "What's Chester gonna do?" "Last I recall, his fallout with Sylvie wasn't just a petty disagreement. Before he died, he built a fleet of ships and hid them in a cove somewhere. If he wanted revenge, all he'd need is an army." "And who the hell would fight for him?" "The same people who fight for us—the poor." This is a prequel to Then Maker, another story of mine. The writing may feel somewhat outdated compared to my more recent work, but it consists of a series of scenes that occur before the main events of the novel. The description is one of my most recent pieces, which is why it differs in style from the rest of the book.

Beneath the Surface (Fell in Love with the Machine – 1) by: Nova Angelis Vesper Lenore Holloway is not the kind of woman who bends—or kneels. She is independent, untouchable, a force of her own making. She makes her own choices, walks through life with her head high, and stands by her morals, unshaken. A soldier. Untamed. Unbreakable. Until she crosses paths with Lucien Rael Vale. A man like a machine. Calculated. Controlled. Cold. But there’s something deeper beneath the surface—something unreadable, something terrifyingly inevitable. From the moment he meets Vesper, he decides she belongs to him. But Vesper is not something to be owned. She fights him. Fights like hell. Refuses to be caged. Refuses to be another piece in his world of precision and order. But Lucien doesn’t need chains to keep her close. He doesn’t need force to make her stay. He dismantles her differently—softly, methodically, until she doesn’t even realize she’s fallen. She resists, and he waits. She defies, and he watches. And when she finally breaks, he is there to catch every shattered piece. She was never meant to fall. But now, she doesn’t just fall—she is rewritten. She swore she’d never bow. But in the end, she doesn’t just bow—she shatters. And the most terrifying part? She doesn’t want to be saved.

At the age of ten, every child undergoes the Awakening—a moment when their magical abilities are revealed. For Kael, however, the Awakening is different. Instead of the rush of magic that others feel, his body is flooded with a cold, calculating hum—the activation of an AI. But this AI is not just a tool.

Can Kael navigate this perilous world, grow beyond his limits, and rise to a challenge he never expected? The journey will shape him, the AI, and the very fate of their world

The multi-verse is collapsing, and the fabric of reality is falling apart. Only the unity of Man and Mechs can transcend the apocalypse. “First off, Screw Mars!” Ten is losing his sight. Everything has been so wrong after the god-damned earthquake. Nothing’s been good. The apocalypse, perhaps? Ten could swear these were nothing like the tell-tales of ‘the apocalypse’. And just when he thinks it can’t get any more bizarre… BOOM! MARS KIDNAPS HIM!

But soon, Ten learns there’s far more at stake. The multi-verse itself is collapsing. Cosmic bodies are smashing into one another. CHAOS! With everything on the brink of destruction, Mars sees Ten as their wild card for victory to their planet. But survival is no guarantee. Advanced gear training is a nightmare.

In the depths of the human imagination, the unsettling possibility of an omnipotent being capable of forging worlds arises. However, instead of weaving narratives that inspire or uplift the spirit, this entity plunges into the shadows, giving life to realms where evil and lust are the threads that weave its existence. In these dark realms, sins become the very essence of the story, reflecting the deepest and most disturbing inclinations of the human soul. This god, in his sinister work, not only creates, but also steals. The souls of mortals, caught in his web of temptations, are stripped of their essence and used as mere instruments in his theatrical work. Thus, the playwright of the macabre turns humans into puppets, manipulating their destinies in a spectacle of horror and despair. Creation is transformed into a grotesque representation of the human condition, where each act is an echo of the vices that dwell in the heart of humanity.
