2024-10-29 19:42:56Today's choice yet again left me little leeway to choose, and I ended up picking the less catastrophic catastrophe.
So after setting fire to the Amazon rainforest and my sister seemingly stopping it before it happened, I was lost in my thoughts.
If we are able to communicate a bit, neither my sister nor I have any telepathic link, so it takes a lot of trouble and energy to communicate anything.
The need for a complete form of communication only we both can understand starts to be felt. It needs to be unnoticeable, be able to pack a good deal of information, and be effortless.
And we also need to be both able to learn it without anyone around doing so.
To learn it, first, we need to use a temporary method of communication we c
ClemCaYou can't imagine how hard it is to think such a complicated thing when you are the author. I often complain about authors trying to write characters that are more intelligent than them, and end up writing stupid shit, but it is exactly what I did there. I created a pair of siblings, in which the brother has an intellect equal to mine and the sister is more intelligent than me, so I end up having a hard time writing something that'd feel coherent to anyone more intelligent than me. I just hope I don't have too many smart people reading this. Don't hesitate to tell me what you thought of what I came up with in this chapter.

-I'm home! As he entered his house, David felt all the stress of the day leave his shoulders. He heard the hasty footsteps of his younger son, who ran down the stairs to welcome him back. His older son was way past that age, and in fact, his younger son was supposed to as well, but he didn't really mind it, as that warm welcome truly brightened his evenings. -Welcome back. Jane, his wife, said distractedly, as she was focused on another task. She still turned her head around ever so slightly, and saw James, just aside David. -Oh, hi James. James was David's old-time friend since high school, and they just happened to have become

I could sacrifice a few lives for the sake of the advancement of humanity.

Give me a word I'll make a world Volume 10 - re:D.D. (18) - Warp Drive
When talking about such an elusive concept as a Warp Drive, there were multiple areas of expertise that needed to reach a certain level to develop one.Of course, science fiction, which was originally inspired by science, had now long turned around and influenced several generations of scientists and physicists. And so, a lot of people already worked on it. While saying it was your main domain of research would attract scornful glares, and some did attract such glares since 1994, but working on a few papers several times in your career wasn't a problem.In fact, the implications of warp drives on the current model of quantum physics made it a pretty interesting research subject for various specialties.And this was why, when in early 2021, a paper proposed a theoretical model for warp drive, it attracted a deep inte
Give me a word I'll make a world Volume 10 - re:D.D. (19) - Monster
If something in this world deserved to be called a monster, the gigantic pile of flesh currently going through Sydney was definitely the one. After all, it wasn't figuratively, but literally going through Sydney. Sydney wasn't the capital of Australia, but it was definitely its biggest city by population. A position that it would definitely lose to Melbourne after the current disaster striking it is finished. If it is ever finished, and if there is any way to compile the body count. Meanwhile, the prime offender was absorbing people at an extremely fast rate, as it was storming through the city. It was rolling through the city. Yes, rolling. Whatever it was, the collective entity quickly understood that rather than focusing on

Over the past 4 days, today included, which is when I usually write this novel in the week, I've not written anything. I've been a bit out of it lately, and while I've had reason to attribute it to fatigue up to now, as I was genuinely constantly tired, I've had time to sleep more since then, and I'm still not better. Overall, I feel a lack of inspiration, and a lack of will to do anything. I've still been able to pump out quite a few good chapters, but I think I reached the limit. I know it sounds sudden, but I'm going to take a break for a short while. Back in June was when I started writing everyday for my various novels, after a month, I was a bit burned out and took a break. I then was back 3 weeks later and have been since then. Originally, it was more about testing my limits, and it turned into an habit, but I still think I should still stay within the bounds of being well enough to write quality chapters.

A/N: I didn’t notice, but I took my break right on the 100k words mark! Anyway, here is the chapter! As the day was going, it didn't take long for me to know that nothing was done about the zombies. Seeing how difficult my choices are becoming, it is likely that my sister is faced with considerably difficult choices too. Preventing negative consequences might not be the best way to deal with things. Sometimes, doing a trade-off might be better. Of course, I have no way to know if my sister also has choices and not another form of using her angels, but it doesn't change the fact that I trust her ability to pick the best path. If she decided that sacrificing Sydney was necessary, then I trust her. While I might be a bit short-sighted, I believe she has t
Give me a word I'll make a world Volume 10 - re:D.D. (21) - A Better World
She wasn't feeling much. In fact, both her senses and awareness were limited, for she was currently part of a gigantic mass of flesh. She was right at the center. Maybe it was because her individuality was slowly disappearing, but she had a small moment of clarity. Right as her zombie part was slowly integrating into a greater consciousness, her human side, which had disappeared ever since she became a zombie, reappeared. As her reason came back, it was hit with a truckload of memories, and she was met with horror. It wasn't just what she became or what she did, but also where she was. She could only see darkness, she could hear nothing, she could only feel a wriggling wall of flesh all around, as if she was bathing in it.

Fuck! Fuck fuck fuck… I'm late! Who thought I'd sleep through my alarm clock… I hurry up, get dressed, and leave my room. I'm late by almost 4 hours. As I get down the stairs, I seriously consider the utility of actually going. I have about 6 hours and a half of courses in the day. Minus 4 hours it makes it down to 2 and a half. Minus the time to eat, and the 30 minutes to walk all the way there, it would eat 1 more hour into it. In the end, is it worth walking 1 hour in total to have 1 hour and a half of courses?

Volume 10 - re:D.D. (23) - Troublesome
How troublesome… Lately, it seemed to be the only thought getting through his mind. As the Secretary of Defense of the United States, he was supposed to have some level of authority, but, with the recent events, things had too much of a tendency to be out of his hands. With supernatural matters that could threaten national security visible to the public, he felt like he visited the President's desk more than his own. It could almost be seen as enough to warrant the creation of a highly secure internal mailing system, if such a system wasn't deemed to be eventually broken through. In fact, it could be observed that he was seen in the White House than the cans of coke the president kept drinking. Today was no different.
