Volume 2 Chapter 1

The First Destination Part 1

Nothing makes sense, this is not making any sense, four men were surrounding me, one in front of me, one behind me, and two on each side, with all of them directing their swords toward me, actually toward my head, between my head and the swords, only a few inches, with the slightest movement from them, and it will penetrate my skin.

That is not it, the thing that do not make any sense are their speed, the speed at which they approached me, and the fact that they raised their weapon so slowly. I was shocked at the beginning. In fact, I was scared, but this I could dodge with ease. So I did bend down at the same time. lifting my swords up and parrying the one facing me with my right hand and the one behind me with my left hand. At the same time, to clear a space for me, I kicked the one on my right side with my right leg, while supporting myself with his body and using him as a foothold, and I turned in the air, reaching the other one on my left side's head and kicking his head with my knee. Both of us fell down at the same time.

When I stood back, two were in the ground. "Two down, two are remaining," I said aloud. The two swordsmen didn't hesitate to attack me with their swords one more time. "Are you guys joking or acting some slow-motion video scene?" I couldn't hold myself back from saying that to them because of how slow their actions were in my eyes.

With the hilt of my sword, I hit the first one on the wrist, and without waiting to see what happened, I hit him again on top of his head. Then I took a step backward to see what happened, and to my surprise, the sword fell to the ground at the same time as the man also fell to the ground, the other, for an unknown reason, fell on top of the other, while his sword was still facing towards me. My surprise didn't last long because while I was looking at two men on the ground, I heard a click followed by a gunshot coming from behind me.

With an involuntary reflex, I turned and put the sword in front of my face in a defensive way, and immediately I heard a CLING, the sound of a metal hitting another metal. "Huh, was that really a bullet?" I couldn't resist saying that aloud. A second bullet hit my sword for a second time at the same place, and since I didn't move my hand or any other part of my body, in fact, it was less than a second between the two bullets, I couldn't help but look at my sword to see if there was any dent, and there wasn't even a scratch on it, which really increased my confusion even more than before, and the only words that came out of me were "What the hell is going on?".

Let me introduce myself first of all. My name is Aden, and I am an alien from Earth in another alien world. I am sure you are as confused as I am now, and wondering what is going on and what I am talking about, so at least to ease your confusion, let me explain to you from the beginning. I believe you are aware so far that I woke up in this world without any memories, and I was lucky to end up in the capital city of Angariya with the help of their head of security, they provided me with identification, money, and a vehicle. The reason that I left was to figure out why I was in this world and who was behind it, and also to gather information from the nearby countries to find out if there was another one like me out there, and there was another feeling bushing me to go and search for someone or something.

To make a long story short, at the beginning of my journey, my vehicle stopped, and I found myself deep in a forest, where I encountered two ladies. Shortly after that, we came across some people shooting at each other, that is when and where the most bizarre and strangest thing happened. For you to understand, I have to explain and tell you the details as they happened.

In the forest I met two young ladies suppurate non of them knew where are we just like me, then we heard a gunshot, thinking that we may find some answers to where are we, I decided to follow the gunshot and see who is there, and the ladies agreed and followed me, as soon as we reached the location of the gunshots, we encountered a young man with a rifle hiding behind a huge rock, and on the ground there were sitting a woman with two children, the young man obviously was shooting at someone else so not knowing if we are an enemy or someone else, he shot towards us what appeared to be a warning shot, when we raised our hands indicating to him that we are not an enemy, he focused in front of him and on the main people who he was shooting at to begin with, ignoring us completely.

And from another side, there was also another young girl, approximately my age, who walked to the same location at the same time as us, maybe a few seconds behind us. She was alone; the only thing that caught my eye was the backpack she was carrying, which was the exact same as the one we were carrying. It didn't take for a genius to figure out that she was in the same boat as we were, which is why I didn't give her much thought, telling myself that I could question her later, but right now what I needed was to figure out what was going on here, and to avoid getting shot for the second timeNothing makes sense, this is not making any sense, four men were surrounding me, one in front of me, one behind me, and two on each side, with all of them directing their swords toward me, actually toward my head, between my head and the swords, only a few inches, with the slightest movement from them, and it will penetrate my skin.

    Chapter 2The First Destination Part 2I didn't hesitate to approach the woman holding the two crying children, wishing if I had some candy on me so I could give it to the children to stop their craving. Actually, I had some sweets in my bag, but I left it in the vehicle; at least, I would have taken my bag if I knew that I would be lost in a forest. At that moment, I remembered that I was carrying a backpack that I hadn't checked most of its content in so far, but there was a bottle of water. I took the water out and approached the woman, extending the bottle to her. The woman didn't hesitate either and took water from me without saying anything, just nodding with her head, sipping a few mouthfuls, and then giving it to the children one by one. The young boy was glancing at us, still focused on the rifle and binoculars, ready to shoot anything that moved in front of him. When they had enough water, the woman passed the water bottle to me and said, "Thanks." I took it and tried to pa

I was only able to introduce two of them since we claimed the third girl was with us and I don't know her, I wasn't able to introduce just the two of them and leave the third. I myself was curious to know the new girl's name, but about her story, I left that for a later time, since the situation was not favorable at the moment.After the two girls introduced themselves, the third one also did the same and said, "Hello, my name is Adline." Then we looked at the boy, and I don't know why, but he sighed before he answered and said, "Nice meeting you all, my name is Luke, this is my sister-in-law." He paused for a second and continued wi

    I was listening to what Ajbadan was telling us and was wondering at the same time how I reached the same conclusion even before he reported to us, how was my estimate that correct with having all the facts, strange as they may be, that was happening at the moment, so I had to naturally complete his last sentence for him, saying "In that case the option for us is to wait it out, until everything becomes clear, it's not in our best interest to intervene in a situation we don't know anything about it." When I finished saying that, I noticed that everyone was looking at me with a surprise on their faces.Even I was surprised at how easily and naturally I said what I said, I didn't even think about what I was saying, it just came to mind and I said it without thinking about it at all. Everyone kept looking at me for a few seconds, then Ajbadan was the first one to recover from the surprise and say, "That was exactly what I was about to suggest; good work, Amran."

Thinking to himself, he said, "At least some time has passed, and all I am required to do is survive." The question is, will he be able to do just that? It's not just, "Just survive." How is it that simple? He knew from

    Chapter 6The Chosen Ones Part 2Something is really wrong here, Julian wondered. Reading the list a few times, he noticed one other thing: the time really didn't decrease as he thought the first time but increased. Although it was something he didn't notice the first time and was not sure if the last time he saw it was 23 hours or 24 hours, but it was obvious that it had increased now instead of decreasing.Anyway, that is a different issue that he can solve at the moment; the urgent thing is to navigate the situation that he is facing now. The question is who to go straight to, wherever the destination that he supposedly reached was, and there is a fight going on in front of him, it is not like he can say, "Excuse me, can you please stop fighting until I pass?" He had no prior experience in situations like this or any other situations to being with.Standing in his place, he first looked at the man, who was standing alone and watching the fight like him.

How could he encounter a situ

    Chapter 8The Chosen Ones Part 4So he repeated his question once more, although I think maybe it was more than once: "Do you have any weapons?" What kind of question is that? Without even thinking much about it, without me doing it intentionally, I nodded with my head and said, "Yes, I do have some weapons." Suddenly, the screen popped in front of me again, and this time, the inventory was unlocked without me doing anything.- Unlocked inventory- Weapons available: 3 sets1. Two long swords, grade A 2. Two long daggers, grade A3. Two laser guns, one short-range and one long range.Tap into the desired weapon; it will materialize and be ready for your use.Was it natural for it to happen that way? I have no idea, really. When I saw the two other girls coming towards us, Amran was the other new young girl, and both of them had weapons in their hands. I was wondering who this young girl was, but before I asked anything, Aden spoke and asked us to introduce ourselves. Apparently, he c

I was surprised by the additional information that appeared on the screen in front of me, so this clearly means that there will be a lot of fights like these in the future since all these weapons are in my possession, and I have to use them also, but how will I be able to do that? I don't have any fighting or weapon training; weren't they supposed to teach and train me first before throwing me into a situation I have knowledge about?. While I was thinking about these things, which were irrelevant to the situation that we were facing, I heard the boy with the rifle introduce himself to the woman and the kids. Even though I was not sure how or exactly when that happened, it reached me that instant. I had a feeling that something was wrong with the way everything was happening. I don't know how to explain it, but what I was feeling was like I was in two

She put the device that she was listening to and collected another one from her desk drawer and started recording a message: “This recording is from Section One; the time is 17.00 hours, and today is the first day that officially Project Zero One started finally. I hope we have enough time to implement all the security measures that we have been working on." Without a second thought, she pressed the send button and returned the device to the same drawer.

The thing I was referring to as a portal was forming in the same location I have been seeing it in my dreams, or, to say it correctly, my nightmares. And the reason I am referring to it as a portal is because I knew it was, because I saw it with my own closed eyes at that time, the monsters coming out of it, which indicates that it was a portal of some kind. I have been afraid my dreams would come true, and I didn’t wish for it, but somehow I had the feeling that whatever I saw would happen, but I hoped it would be in a different day and time; a time when I was better prepared for it and was able to take some kind of countermeasure for it.I have no idea what kind of countermeasure I could have been able to take.

At least they have been together more the rest of them, Regardless of their meeting in the forest, as they said, Murad shook his head like he was dropping the questions that filled it and went to the boy. Aden stood up when he saw Murad approaching him and smiled while saying, “It’s embarrassing to say that, seeing you came to help me, but I am actually leaving the tent here that way I didn’t dismantle it.” Murad was not expecting to hear that at all While the surprise was showing on his face, he asked, “Can I ask you why?” Aden didn’t expect to be asked that question either, so he hesitated for a second and said while scratching his head with a small laugh, ”ha

It was both smokey and liquid-like at the same time, and he was unable to determine what material it was composed of. It was moving like a live entity with a pulsating heart, but it was not changing shape. In a matter of seconds, it gained shape and materialized in front of him at the location the youngster had indicated. He felt a terrible sensation throughout his body. This is what the young man was talking about. He told himself, "So it's all true then," confirming the first thing the boys had mentioned. "The time was the next thing he confirmed, and it was true too." He had the chance to glance at the clock now that it was getting to be the time of sunset, but he didn't think of it. He fe

But fortunately or unfortunately, the one who said that was a child, although the expression on my face changed and my hand was on the gun and the sword in my waist, a complete involuntary reaction from my side.It took me nearly a minute to gather myself and regain my composure.

    Chapter 32Intermission Jack’s side story Part 1Anther's note:This is Jack’s story recap as I told it in the first volume, but I will now add the missing parts that were not known to anyone in the first volume or the second volume until now, or what was his connection to the storey line? So far, all we knew in the first volume was that he was looking for his wife, and that was all he was looking for. Where was he imprisoned? What for? There were a lot of questions that no one asked and nobody answered, and no one will unless someone dares ask the correct question.Also, I edited the previous chapter, its not just a copy of the same chapter of the first volume to go along with the current retelling of the story without changing much from the original story as a recap because of the importance of the story line. I remember one reader asking me if I was just filling in the characters for the sake of my book, and he was specifically talking about Jack :) I hope now he got the answer.
