"Is this going to be our new home?"

"Yes, it will be your new home. When the general discovered that there are two more people in your house, he changed it to this. It's quite large; it was his old home when he worked in the capital." Rowan received a response from a soldier.

The house is not large, but it is also not small. It has three rooms, one kitchen, and one dining hall. A parking lot and a basement are also available. It's in the small town of Amasya. It is the provincial capital of Amasya. It's also close to the Black Sea. There are numerous mountains and a river. A small town with a rich cultural and historical heritage.

Ali became ecstatic because it had been a long time since he had a home. He never lived in the same place again after losing his village. It's the first time Rowan and Jasmin have travelled this far away from home. They are unfamiliar with the atmosphere and the abundance of nature. They saw animals and birds they had never seen before.

The government employee explained their language class and arrangements, as well as their allowance. After that, he left.

"Shall we go inside?" Ali took the field first. It is, indeed, a lovely home. Rowan was about to say something when his sister abruptly stopped him and said, solemnly, "You can't compare our old life to this one, Mark. Do not discuss our technology or anything related to it until we find a way to return. I know you're only a child, but you're a smart one. You witnessed why our family was attacked. What do you think will happen if we reveal our identity? These people lack even the most basic technology available to us. So it's better to stay low.

Let us tell Ali everything gradually "

Rowan nodded, a sympathetic expression on his face. "Come, let's see if we can contact our galaxy from here; also, call Ali; it wouldn't be good if we hid something important like this and caused some misunderstandings."

"Why are you closing the windows and locking the door? What's the big deal?" Ali had been dragged into a room.

Jasmine slowly opens her bag and removes a device. She then pushed a button. A girl's hologram projection can be seen.

"Miss Jasmin, welcome back. I hope everything is going well for you "The hologram gave a brief greeting.

"I'd like to know where we are, and I'd like you to contact Almas or Merck family members."

Jasmin carried out a command.

"We were unable to contact the target."

"The outside system can reach the target."

"Alert! Can't find the galaxy's coordination! discovered an unknown galaxy "..

"Conducting automated analysis"...

Meanwhile, the majority of the world's secret services and high-ranking officials are in a frenzy. Intelligence agencies in most countries have been hacked, and data has been stolen. Despite their efforts, they were unable to locate the source of the attack.

There was only one hint: the stolen data appeared to be some basic information that could be found on the Internet. Or some vital information that does not require hacking to obtain. They mistook it for a prank by a super-talented hacker or the announcement of a new hacking team. Everything is fine as long as they did not steal information about nuclear missiles or their members' personal information. Politicians have already begun to use it as a kind of enemy nation attack to weaken its economy, and they will continue to fight to defend their country.

Ali, on the other hand, was deep in thought.

"What exactly is this thing, is it a new device or new technology that only the wealthy have? Why wasn't this in the news or advertised? "..

Data analysed successfully

Galaxy name: Milky Way.

Planet name: Earth.

Population:775.28 cores.

Planet level: E

Galaxy level: Can't be measured. There is currently only one planet with life.

Size of the planet:.....

Analysing human living conditions.

90% completed.

The hologram displays information about the Earth.

"What, the planet level is E? That is the most basic level. It is an extremely technologically backward planet. Also, why can't AI communicate with others? There was never a problem like this."

Rowan was taken aback.

"This could be due to our distance from other advanced galaxies. Only that device appears to be our means of escape ".. Jasmin became disheartened.

"What's the deal with this? Could someone please explain what's going on? ".. They only remembered Ali when he yelled.

"Oh, Ali, you may not believe it, but the thing is," Jasmin explained.

"So you're basically saying you came from another galaxy and got stuck here? The only way out is through the locket, which no one has figured out how to use ".

AI generates a beep sound. The AI projection abruptly changed.

Human data analysis is now complete.

Life expectancy: 60-80 years

Anti-aging drugs (AAD): No anti-aging drugs have been discovered.

Medical condition: E

Technology: E

The AI also displays some basic facts.

"What exactly are anti-aging drugs? Why is there even a grade? ". Ali is very interested in this.

"It's medicine that we invented, just like the name suggests. Humans in our galaxy have a lifespan of 300 to 500 years. Some elites have S-level anti-aging drugs that can extend their lives by 1000 years. Even the most impoverished people can afford a C grade AAD. Humans have a minimum lifespan of 300 years there."

Ali abruptly stated "Whatever happens, never reveal its existence. Because if you do. The entire planet will crumble. Natural resources are the primary reason my country has become a hotbed of conflict. I can't even begin to imagine what Humans do for this AAD. You should be more cautious.

Anyway, how did you fit such a large device into your small bag? ".

Rowan stated proudly "It's a device invented by my father that uses space compression technology. It has the ability to compress and expand space as it sees fit. This one belongs to my sister and is the only one with the most advanced technology. It has 100 cubic metres of interior space. I'm not sure why Grandpa Henry gave everything, but it's already full of food, medicine, and a small spaceship."

Ali had the impression that life would not go as planned. He suddenly has high hopes for his future.

Author's points of view:

I used a real-life setting for this novel, but the characters and events will have nothing to do with reality. Those things remain a work of fiction.

    Two months passed quietly. Rowan, Ali and his sister got more close and they actually gave Ali a B grade AAD. They had no close neighbours because their residence was far from town and near the mountain. However, once they began to learn Turkish, they went to town frequently and met people. Rowan developed a keen interest in local history, culture, and food. Everything was new to him. Life was peaceful, but no progress had been made with the locket.After discussing with each other, Ali decided to do part-time jobs. Although they have enough money with their allowance, Ali believes it comes from the general's personal funds rather than the government's. So he reasoned that getting a job would be preferable to living on his allowance. Rowan was introduced to computers and the Internet by Ali. Although he was a bit disappointed with the lack of technology, he silently got interested in various information available on the Internet.Rowan has even fallen victim to a scam and lost money.

    It's been 10 years since planet green has been attacked. It was a typical world. They were not as technologically advanced as Earth, but they lived peacefully. But all changed when they were attacked by a formidable group known as the Chain. They began seizing land from the indigenous people. They brought in people from distant regions and handed them their land. The locals either became slaves or fled to areas that were not targeted. The planet had a large population, but it has been reduced to a relatively small number of people. Some tribes were able to flee to the opposite side of the world, which is regarded as perilous yet difficult to conquer. Dorrance was one of the tribes that had to relocate. The tribe leader was a wise man, but he and his wife, as well as their young boy, were slaughtered. When everyone felt the Dorrance tribe was doomed, Alex stepped forward. He was the former leader's son. He didn't lose his mind despite his animosity. He surrendered to the enemy and bec

    At night, Rowan met Alex again. "It appears that our meeting was predestined," Alex said. "Yes, it's a fate for us. Is there any news regarding the thing I asked?". Rowan was Impatient."Although it cost me 2 of my soldier's life, we managed to secure the posters and there is indeed one for a man named Henry. I don't know if he is the same person you are looking for but he is an old man with white hair and a Mark on his neck" Alex responded calmly. "Yes, that's uncle Henry. I'm so glad that he managed to survive." Rowan was really happy about it. He almost started jumping in happiness, but then he remembered Ali told him to keep calm always, else the other party will take advantage of him." Thank you for your help. I don't know how, but I'll repay you for the sacrifice of the two soldiers". Rowan said calmly. Alex became surprised because he can see Rowan forcefully suppressing his emotions rather quickly. "There must be someone behind him," Alex thought. "So, my friend did you tr

    "Hello, Rowan."When they turned around, they spotted a happy Alex near the entryway. Ali's face was drenched in cold sweat. Both Jasmin and Ali were on the verge of attacking him. Ali had not expected something like this to happen so quickly. Ali chastised Rowan mainly because he wanted Rowan to be more cautious, not because he anticipated any danger from coming. The room wasn't that big, but there was a table in the corner. Ali desired to be as near to the table as possible. He knew, despite his nervousness. Only he has the ability to act.Jasmin has a frail physique. As a result of her disease, she lacks combat ability. Rowan, on the other hand, is virtually paralysed. He was not unwilling to do anything, but he couldn't move his legs at all. Rowan wanted to go to the table and grab the gun, but terror gripped him. He began to sweat profusely. His legs couldn't support his body anymore, and he was on the verge of collapsing, but luckily, he was near the wall. The wall could withst

    They entered the mirror world. The Dream World was nothing like what they had heard from Rowan. It was brimming with vitality. Several trees and a waterfall were cascading from a cliff. The cliff wasn't too big and terrifying or small and cute, but the size made people comfortable looking at it. Some rather small animals and birds can be seen. It was a lovely, vibrant environment. A little cabin stood near the lake. Small animals, such as rabbits, will run around and play with their mates. It was a lovely and tranquil sight to behold. People are warmed by the sounds of birds chirping and just looking at little animals playing. Ali was the one with the most complicated face. Although the new home has similar things, it was his first time seeing those things. His old home was in a desert destroyed by war. Something like this was his dream home even before the war. So he looked at everything with an interesting face. But Ali didn't forget the important thing. While others lost time

    Ali slowly opened his eyes. The pain forced him to wake. With a blurry vision, he was able to see Alex, slowly walking toward him. His vision slowly returned. Ali started to look around worryingly, but Rowan or Jasmin couldn't be seen anywhere. He was sure he was in the same place, but there seemed to be some changes. He wasn't able to find what changed or, more to the point, he didn't have time to look at it. When he saw Alex walking toward him while wearing a smile on his face, Ali became really angry."Where did you take them?" Ali exclaimed. "You should release them without injuring them." You may not realise it, but when I'm upset, I'm really dangerous. It's not something people want to witness. No one managed to stay alive after making me angry. You should choose vice. " Ali right now is extremely odd. Rowan and Jasmin would never believe it if they were here. Since he is a wholly different individual, a small flame started to take over his body.Sometimes there are tiny fla

    "What are you saying? What is this secret power? ""What exactly are you saying? What exactly is this mysterious power? "Rowan gave them a glance. Ali avoided him by making excuses and changing the subject."So, what happened when you both became Alex? I expected you to be shocked and upset, but I see no change in your emotional state. " Ali was relieved to see that both of them were in good health, but he was also perplexed. Why didn't such a heinous experience cause them to change? How can they maintain their innocence and naivety after going through this?Ali had many questions, but he needed to confront reality. It wasn't that Ali didn't want to hear about Alex's narrative or legends; he, like Rowan, wanted to know more about Alex. But first, he must learn more about the locket and teach Rowan how to use it properly. Rowan and Jasmin may not have seen it, but Ali senses a big threat approaching them, and time is not on their side. He had to get everything necessary in his hands b

It's Miya from G-news. Today we have a guest from the Gama family, Johnson. "The reporter from G-news was a famous person. Her cute face and voice helped her to gain a lot of fans."It's Miya.

    Mr X remained silent for a long time. His cigarette burnt slowly to ash."White Mask, what are your thoughts about the Mercks arriving here?"White Mask was taken aback. He needed a few minutes to recover from his astonishment."How is that possible, sir? Even if any of them did come here, how could they avoid our notice?"Mr X lighted a new cigarette and began smoking."I deduced that Ali or Rowan were not locals based on the details. They had to have appeared lately, or otherwise, the slaves would have recognised them. And based on the current attack pace, I'm convinced they'd just arrived."Mr X inhaled deeply and proceeded."It appeared to be some Mercks managed to come here. If our intelligence were right, Mark had a son named Little Mark, but what most people don't know is his real name is Rowan. From what I can see, it must be Mark's son."The white mask was at a loss and didn't know what to say."But even if it's Mark's son, what use do we have?"From Mr X's excited expression

But his companion was shaking, and his face almost lost colour. He was terrified.Before the soldier could know why his friend was so scared, he heard a voice."A cursed place? Hmm. That's a reasonable point. If people started to disappear without any trace, there must be something similar to a curse. White mask, note it down. It may come in handy.""Noted, sir," the white-masked man replied, and they both went inside the camp."Hey, who is that black-masked man, and why is he acting mysterious and weirdly?"The soldier asked his friend."Shh.

    Everyone stared at Ali with shock. How is he still joking around? But Ali continued to act as if nothing significant had occurred."What's the matter with you? Why are you staring at me as if I were a ghost? Our village is close to the country of the fairies, and we've heard from passing demons. Is there nothing else to say? What? Do you believe we're fairies? Look at our appearance before passing judgement."They became convinced after seeing Ali's appearance. By look, he is obviously a demon. He is not a fairy in any manner.What Ali and his pals didn't realise was that they were viewed as riches rather than foes."Please accept my sincere apologies. It's simply that my staff are particularly sensitive to the subject today. "Carlo swiftly shifted the subject.Ali also became more at ease.Finally, Angela took a breath. She was too concerned.

    "I'm not great at physical labour, but I'm fantastic in math and accounting." For example, I counted over a hundred carts here, with the majority of them carrying at least five people. All of those carts were drawn by horses. You also have some other animals, such as those utilised in agriculture. "Ali stopped for a second and acted like he was calculating something. He then acted like he was finally done calculating and continued his conversation."If my calculations are correct, you have a hundred carts with at least five men in them. Adding the other animals, it's five hundred men and two hundred and ten horses. Two hundred horses mean it requests at least fifty gold coins to manage them on a daily basis. If we reduce the food cost since we are travelling through the jungle, it still costs ten gold coins a day."Ali suddenly stopped, gave a meaningful gaze to Carlo, and continued."Those men seemed to be combat-trained. You need at least 500 gold coins every day to transport 500 s
