• Chapter 2 The morning after their wedding night, the couple were busy working on what they had discussed even before getting married. Mira held a scarlet ring, as her husband imprinted a little diagram that signified something unknown on the ring. The diagram was heptagonal in shape with a line crossing over it from left to right. A sign they alone understood. *** Mira remembered all these as she held the ring in her hand. She was not ready to cry again. She had wept so much, that she no longer saw tears as an option. Facing the wind with great zeal to fight was, to her, the best thing she could think of. She heard a knock at the door and called for the person to come in. Her voice brought no sound, so she cleared her throat and called again. "Come in." The door opened and Michel emerged. "Am I welcome?" Michel said smiling. "Don't kid me girl." Mira said with a friendly tone. Michel hopped on the bed. "I bought some groceries on my way home. A

• Chapter 1 "Her Highness, Queen Betty, has raised the ban on robots and other high technology devices such as infomorphs, super AI computers, mind-distorter rays, and so many others, which were banned after their inability to respond correctly to orders late spring, last year. They are now back to normal and are... to... b..." Diago turned down the volume of his room's television. "Mum! The Queen has changed the laws on the techs!" Diago screamed from his room with excitement. "I know! Good news right?" She responded back. He jumped up and ran to his mini lab. He gently opened his door and halfway ajar, he slid in. He smiled as he stared at Demi, his robot which the connection was powered off mysteriously by the government. He had been working on upgrading Demi to be more human-like but at a point it began to disobey commands and even wanted to run away, before he was eventually powered off from CRHQ, a government lab that controls every high connect

• PROLOGUE The classroom was coloured blue at the bottom and had white on the upper part. All around the room were students in white shirt and red trousers. They appeared to be seven years old in all. They were seated on the wooden floor in form of a pentagon around their master, Master Yark, who had on a white garment with red head tie. Master Yark began to teach his students on the principles of becoming immortal criminals or as they call themselves 'Roaming Tigers'. "Yourself is the master of your destiny. Anything you need to be able to reach any height, is already in you. Consecration and concentration only can bring it out. Today, we move to the Melgushi, the test for the coming death mode. Tomorrow, we'll get to the final test before attempting Gustocano, the training that ends lives. A bare hand fight with Sacura, my pet." The students began to frown, because they knew what that meant - a fight with a real tigress- but they could not move an inch. They

"My eyes are too old to search for Sadiu anymore." Sadiku stated. "Grandpa don't tell me you want me to search for your stupid robot. My father died because he was searching for that thing." Earvin angrily shouted. "Your father died because he was disobedient and not because of Sadiu." Sadiku said. "No grandpa, I'm not going to help you." Earvin stood up and ran to his room. Tacy, who had listened to all they were saying followed Earvin. She turned the door knob and fortunately it was not locked. "Earvin!" "Sister, I can't! Don't tell me about it." Earvin said furiously. "This is not my cute fearless brother." Tacy remarked. "But sister, father died in search of Sadiu." Earvin lamented. "No! He died because he never listened to anyone. He wanted to do everything on his own." "But sister, I don't want to search for Sadiu. He's too dangerous. And how can we know

There was a chaotic din in town and every civilian had to stay at home. The city had been in commotion, for.... I don't know why. And everyone had to hide for safety... But I was far away from home. I walked out of the mall with my goods at hand. I galloped to my car, parked directly at the base of the giant front glass of the mall, holding four shopping plastics each in one hand. Suddenly I heard that some rioters were approaching and they were destroying vehicles and public buildings. Relying on the security men guarding the mall was no good option because of how lean they all appeared. Therefore I had to run. I started the engine and forgot to change the gear to reverse. I squeezed the accelarator and VROOM my car jacked forward and viola! The monsterous glass came crashing. Twarrn Twarrn Twarrn! The alarm went crazy. Immediately I zoomed to the gate with a reverse, making people get out of my way with screams of terror. I was flying with full speed on the smooth roads wh
