“ What ? “ Eric thought he’s hearing auditory hallucinations. All soil on the island has been washed away ! The pier has been crushed into fertilizer , the fishing boat they have had for a mere month is twisted into a churro … they barely have a bag of rice left ! In such a scenario, the old man still wanted to live on the island ? Eric was dumbfounded. “ Grandfather, I think you do not understand ! There is no soil on the island, not even sand ! Before, we drove an ATV to ride up to the house on the plateau. Now, the same drive is impossible. The bay is still open, but … the pier is broken. The ramp we use to tow the boats through has become a cliff ! Just how do you plan to live on this island ? “ Eric was pissed. “ The bamboo grove is fine. I see it from here. “ His grandfather retorted. “ Do you want to be a panda, eating only bamboo ? In that case, sorry ! No chance ! The bamboo roots are rotting. Don’t forget, the grove has been soaked in salt water. It may look alive now
The night has fallen like a wet blanket of darkness. In the deep darkness, a man is skating at top speed on sunglasses. He avoided all the obstacles easily, and made it to the only place in a fence with a hole in it. He effortlessly slipped through the fence, then entered an apartment through the backdoor. It’s Peter Ho’s apartment building. ◆◇◆A dark balloon reflecting the night sky flitted through the sky, gently sliding through the air. It arrived at the rooftop of a skyscraper, then came to a slow stop. A little girl in hot pants and a fitted black shirt jumped down from the balloon. There are holsters on her thighs, daggers on knee high boots, twin blades on her back and extendable claws on her elbows. She moved with the grace of a cat, jumping down from the building top, going floor by floor, she jumped into the third apartment from the top, and rolled into a stop, holding her gun at the ready. She looked all around, making sure no targets showed up in her map, then walked
As Eric watched the eternal lightning that connected their island to the sky, he finally gave up on convincing his grandfather. Sometimes, you just have to wait for people to realize facts on their own. Worse yet, at his grandfather’s age, with valid reasons, he is more stubborn. Since they made their decision, Eric could only equip them with as many skills needed for survival as possible. The lightning made their continuing stay here uncomfortable, but they can’t go down just now. First, he needs to initiate them as players. Now that he has server chat activated, it is best if they are initiated as players. Their current talents being enhanced is more than enough to guarantee their survival and safety for the time being. It is just as well there is a tunnel from here to the dragon temple they could use. Eric took his mother down the tunnel first. Followed by mimi, and his grandparents. He first touched the dragon statue to make sure the electricity was not flowing through the stat
He came up in a village. There are hundreds of people around him, in a small village congregation type area.“ Heroes ! Please help. The mountain floods are about to arrive any moment now. We need to raise the embankment height ! “ The village chief is shouting.[ Mission ][ Save the village from flooding ][ Failure penalty : passive debuff title unreliable ][ Success Reward : Quest Altar blueprint ]( accept ) ( deny )Eric looked at the person beside him.

Digger is far too slow. Eric racked his brain for options… Can he make a whirlpool with water manipulation ? Wait ! For that he needs talent from Ursula. If talent sharing is working, then isn’t it better to share the mud manipulation talent from his grandmother ? He immediately opened the console. To check if the talent share is available. [ Talent share outsourcing ( level 0 ) ][ You can chose up to 1 talent, which will work at (N) percent reduction in strength. ] [ Water manipulation ( 90% ) from Ursula ] [ Mud manipulation ( 90% ) from Dolly ] [ Water manipulation ( 90% ) from Mimi ] [ Blade work ( 10% ) from Song Tu ] [ Chef’s domain ( 95% ) from Song Anxia ] [ Plant growth ( 50% ) from Stevia Mangrove ] Eric expected water manipulation to be heavily debuffed. He was surprised that his grandfathers’ talent has such little penalty, and his mother’s domain has such a high penalty ! Do I have seedlings ? Eric mused. Just as he was about to open the inventory, he paused
That creature can not be killed by bullets or arrows. This much, Eric realized instinctively. The only way to kill should be the aura gun. However, an aura gun can not kill a creature of higher level than itself. Eric searched through his console with trembling fingers and increased urgency to find something, anything that could kill the creature rising in front of him. He had a bad feeling about this one. His bad feelings are rarely wrong ! [ Merge ] Finally he found a skill among the level skills he received. It was the reward for crossing level 90. He pointed at the aura gun box, and tried to merge. [ place three items of similar type to merge them to receive a higher or same level item ] ‘ The f*** ! ‘ ‘ It is a damned gachapon style merge ! ‘ But he was grasping at the straws. The creature would complete its arrival any minute now. The three petaled octopus could only be hurt when you shoot right in the center of their mouth when they are open. Everywhere else on their
Eric was innocently waiting on the platform for a subway when a hooded guy rushed past him straight onto the tracks.Eric pulled him back by instinct, but … at the last moment, the guy pivoted, flung Eric off. The strength added to Eric’s already forward motion and unstable stance, throwing Eric on the tracks, the hooded guy stood stably on the platform, watching Eric. Eric’s reflexes are still online. He got up immediately, made to climb onto the platform … He looked with wide eyes at the train rushing straight at him. The train is too near to stop. White filled up his vision. 🟆✧✦Then, he woke up in a sterile white room. [ Welcome to the isekai transfer station ] [ Reading transferee’s preferences. ] You want to live leisurely, having all the luxuries of the current world, but none of the responsibilities !

“ Brother is an alien. That grandmother on the moon ?! Brother evicted her long ago. “ he told her. “ Really ?! “ Mimi asked in shock. “ Really ! “ Eric nodded his head with his most innocent expression. Mimi still looked unwilling. “ If you are too scared, how about your brother touching the stone along with you ? Then, brother would be teleported with you. If there’s another baby-eating grandmother on the moon, brother will throw her out. “ Eric convinced her. Mimi nodded reluctantly. She wanted to touch that stone. She was really scared she would be teleported to the moon. Eric lifted her easily onto his shoulders, then, her hand was put on his own, they both slowly touched the stone. Eric was so shocked with the result, he almost threw his sister down.
