About this deal

Special thanks to Eranoth for helping me Fine-Tune the novel to make it more consistent and less chaotic. Despite such serious themes Profundis is not science fiction at its best, but it doesn’t stoop to pulp level either. Cowper’s stylistic abilities make the novel an enjoyable one to read in a Sunday afternoon movie kind of way. Cowper writes with a nice dose of sly humour and his style is subtle and lyrical in places. Apparently Cowper was well known for displaying a more human centric approach to his science fiction writing, rather than relying on technology and outrageous plot devices; something reviewers of the time often criticized him for. Profundis does indeed display such characteristics, but also present are the familiar science fiction tropes of androids, a conscious super computer and humans with enhanced psychic abilities. Perhaps Cowper had been listening to his critics?

Richard Cowper is a pseudonym for John Middleton Murry Jr, son of John Middleton Murry, a significant English writer and critic during the pre WWII era. Murry Jr first wrote fiction under the pseudonym Colin Murry before then venturing into science fiction during the 1960’s. Profundis is my first encounter with Cowper. I was lured by both the desire to read some 1970’s science fiction and also the book’s fantastic old school cover art. Go Yoen fainted and saw a young cute boy - Our 3rd Top Hee Soo who kind of Psychopath sweet but seems heartless guy. He uses his mind controlling power to force Go Yoen drink water and Go Yoen felt disgusted (don't worry, Hee Soo does not treat Go Yoen like this in future. - he did something much more crazy ). At this moment, Hee Soo still thinks Go Yoen just like his new pet but he is interest in knowing Go Yoen To be fair Cowper was probably a much better science fiction writer than Profundis would suggest. Apparently The Twilight of Briareus (1974) and The Road to Corlay (1978) are the ones to read. Cowper was a good friend of the great Christopher Priest, who wrote a nice obituary when Cowper died in 2002. If Cowper comes highly recommended by Priest then I’ll give him another chance. No doubt he’ll crop up again in one of my favourite second hand bookstores in the near yet just far enough away future. He felt jealous when Chan and Hee Soo can be honest touching Go Yoen while he did not dare. He felt jealous to the older brother class F, since he owns a rare gem like Go Yoen. He wondered why Go Yoen knew all but still accept to come to Ehrehon, does the older brother treat him well enough that he used his body to save him . Tae In felt jealous that Shinje was the one who find Go Yoen first, why not him.... Finally, Tae In felt bitter, left the room and left Go Yoen sleeping. Things get extremely steamy and hot after first fight with level 2 monster, Go Yoen will has his first night with Shinje. Before that, Shinje was in heavy coma, and Go Yoen who was get starve many days fainted, The other 3 had to take care of him, Hee Soo brought porridge he cook for Go Yoen, but he rejected. Chan kept complaining and Hee Soo fought with him, it was so annoyed and Go Yoen got tired. Only Tae In observed Go Yoen's expression and he silently brought porridge to Go Yoen and ask Go Yoen should eat otherwise he could not survive and later he could not guide all 4 people. Go Yoen was scared of Guiding - meaning s*x, and he forcefully broke the bowl.Some chose to share their knowledge to the rest of the world in hopes of winning the war, while others kept their abilities to themselves.

While Profundis is submerged deep undersea, the world erupts into brief and violent nuclear conflict, leaving the ship condemned to sail on beneath the waves until she can surface a hundred years on when radiation has fallen to a safe level.

She enters the house of Moriarty, not just to earn but also to find answers on what happened to her mother nearly two decades ago. ACTION # SYSTEM # WEAKTOSTRONG # MYSTERY # SUPERPOWERS # VAMPIRE # LEVELUP # EVOLUTION # ACADEMY # BLOODPUMPING My Vampire System

To explain why Tae In had such thoughts. Tae In is the only Awakens in Team 1 never uses Guide. He used drugs to replace Guide, so that he did not sleep or touching any Guide. for more than 10+ years using drugs, Tae In minds are nearly damaged without Guide. He hates and no Guides even touching could not heal him except Go Yoen. In Novel, it is written that the guide Tae In felt from Go Yoen at first time is a warmth like Sun rise inside his body that he never experienced before. It is effective more than drugs, he just unconsciously get attached to the Sun - means Go Yoen. But whenever touching Go Yoen, a sense of guilt appears within Tae In. The point is that Tae In never want to get healed or accept healing, but somehow, Go Yoen can simply heal Tae In, it reminds Tae In of someone dear to him in the past. Around Volume 4 will explain who Tae In remembered whenever saw Go Yoen.

The Captain controls a crew of eccentric androids which ruthlessly oversee the running of the ship by the lowest rung in the ladder, Humanity. Until three years ago, Reading gaol, where Wilde served most of his sentence, was used as a place of incarceration for young offenders. The cells still have bunk beds, a small table and two seats riveted into the wall, and then, closer to the small window, a flush toilet hidden from view. The four corridors that make up each floor radiate from a central vantage point. Thus it is possible for one single member of staff to note any movement in the four corridors. Yoon Chan = guy at top right & the most muscular guy + has the ability to shapeshift into a big tiger (S-rank) + would rather keep using rental guides & tells MC to not get ahead of himself/ that MC is just a pet When he found that a prisoner due to be hanged in Nebraska was reading a novel by Charlotte M Yonge called The Heir of Redclyffe, Wilde remarked: “My heart was turned by the eyes of the doomed man, but if he reads The Heir of Redclyffe it’s perhaps as well to let the law take its course.” But when he found a volume by Dante in another cell, he wrote: “Strange and beautiful it seemed to me that the sorrow of a single Florentine in exile should, hundreds of years afterwards, lighten the sorrow of some common prisoner in a modern gaol.”

Staff

Profundis’ is the brain-child of the Labour MP Mr Widgewood-Bing (a thinly-veiled reference to the late Left Wing Labour Minister Anthony Wedgwood-Benn) who, in an effort to subsidise the ailing manufacturing industry of the North West of England, commissioned the construction of a vast atomic submarine and a controlling Artificial Intelligence system, Proteus. In the Novel, it described that Go Yoen knew himself that his Guiding power is like full of water in a big Tank that It stored too much, but his older brother felt extremely pressure when receiving those powers so Go Yoen started to be cautious to let all of them transmit into his brother, even a small touch can be performed carefully. However, whenever touching Shinje, Go Yoen happened stepping into Shinje's body and saw a desert that he wondered how many of "tank" can be fulfilled this person.
