Hey chapter name is the fact. Theres two people who follow this and i only know Buttercookie,anyway.
General idea and plot was supposed to meander around, have Jie die in a gunfight, make a half assed attempt at getting back to earth taking an artificial prison labor planet, riding everything on the fact of making ridiculous bets both profoundly stupid and meaningless to prove that Sal can always win using bullshit and failing that escape. Jie dies in a minor scuffle over a bet that their spider fly bot is stronger than a grenade and part of the shrapnel makes it through killing Jie. Zeus gets gutted and has his brain put into a shoulder turret so he doesn't die like Jie and Sal turns a little fucked in the head after an stops holding back, doing dumb shit that leads him to gaining cult leader like status such as drunkenly charging security checkpoints with aim bot turrets, shattering his skull in a fight with an assembly line mech and still disabling the district with said skull and shock troops on his ass as he escaped the black out zone. There was gonna be a wild ride with Cyborg vampires and a small scale Mega City where 12% the wealth is located and 34% of the off world trade happens. One of those people who can just sorta does shit that breaks logic was gonna make the Monkey Kings staff and part of that was to be the Mega city Vamp arc hooking up with a Ecto Plague worshipers driver in the Carbon Killer marathon (death race but super rich people watch a horde of drivers make their way down to the Core of the planet skirting a heavily radiated underground industrial nightmare complex that anyone born in or around is expected to die at 15-20 unless they get gene therapy or opt for frequent cybernetics that tend to fail in a year to five depending on the shielding you could get. It's hell, literally the worst place on the planet deemed uncontrollable, and impossible to destroy, 7 times they've tried and the Carbon Killer is sorta a way to check on the Core, map out areas for when they gotta get down there for maintenance, and having a bunch of un-insured contracters do all the work for them instead of paying and wasting their own people on the expedition while providing everyone entertainment and monetary reward to the first place team is the cost of a single team not including damages and workers comp. Additional bounties are put onto clans and troublesome groups with some monetary and clout rewards such as a general bounty of good will and occasional business connections for killing those there marked as part of The End Of Flesh.) Sal steals the the spine of the top leader to a main cell of TEOF for the crafter to make the staff and places somewhere in the 300s for the Carbon Killer after the Ecto Plague driver goes on without him and he steals someone else's ride spending most his time as one of the mid pack Carbon Killers acting as a rogue and coat chaser trying to remain behind others who clear the way before the openings they create close. Crashing, losing his transport and doing shit like riding the bottoms of cargo elevators, and welding himself hand holds onto others teams transports and creating the beginning of his "legend" to take him into Demi god status from his previous cult leader like persona. Fast forward near the end of the Mega city Carbon Killer arc he would have the staff, Zeus would have been lost near the end as he breached the final layers, getting his placement an minor monetary payment. Saying fuck it after a year or more of just trying to kill himself post Zeus death and learning the planets not headed towards earth at all. He employs a support team for advice on how to keep data integrity near the core down to a 14 pound black box restricted to 480P he keeps making suicide runs slowly upgrading his recording equipment to fund his life stylep. Time skip. Turns the Carbon Killer marathon into a joke after he runs the entirety of the path naked, picking up weapons, vehicles, and supplies as he goes but never picks up clothes or armour. Runs. Drops his data off with his editing and data management team, picks up another black box and immediately goes right back under. Does this for 19 years straight. Sal's lost both his eyes, some people now rever him as a god especially once he publicly starts using his Monkey King staff, and The End Of Flesh now have his left eye supposedly down there claiming its a holy relic. The major shareholders started heavily mutating people in the under layers0 to get Psionic powers and other shit to manifest in the population there and part of the Carbon Killer marathons highest rated viewing events are the human trafficking runs where they hunt down and steal powerful psychics to be auctioned off world or executed. What once was primarily a Prison Labor planet turns slowly turned into a bizarre apocalypse tourist planet with the Carbon Killer still being the main Olympic level event.
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
Was gonna make a Carbon Killer festival to end all carbon killers, take over the core and have Sal alter and lock course for earth then attempt to go into cryo and leave everything off on a cliff on whether Sal actually makes it back to earth. With the final shit essentially being a scan report of Sal's body and last words as "some days I'm a loser. Some days I'm not" corny as it would be.
