2024-10-29 19:42:56It was a sight to behold, that would be funny to anyone who is watching, three people running together, at the same time not together, one woman running in front of me, and the other one is behind me, in fact, at that moment she was running almost beside me, and behind all of us and chasing us are two huge beasts, I didn't think about what they were or how to confront them. The woman running in front of me appeared to be armed, with two short swords. She hesitated, for no one is supposed to be in this forest, based on the knowledge i gathered, and it's supposed to be uninhabited.
So what are they doing here? Of course, I don't know myself, what I am doing,, or why I am here, in that case, there is no reason to wonder about their reasons for being here like mine.After gathering clues from whatever has happened so far, nothing here is clear. is a coincidence. Everything was prearranged meticulously, and cleverly, which is easily noticeable and obvious, so the question is, "What is next now?" and "Isn't it time to get clues that we can follow?" Or are we going to just be like pawns, played by their hands however they like and whenever they like?.Or maybe I am overthinking things. I don't know. Imagine someone who is running for his life and still thinking about something else, totally irrelevant to his situation. I don't want you to think I am belittling the situation I am in, but believe me, that is what was happening at that moment. We had been running for almost 15 minutes. That was probably the reason for my behavior and my brain being here and there at the same time.When we suddenly heard gunshots, I had to assume and say we were here, because, from the side of my eyes, I saw the woman running beside me and nothing changed from her, she didn't slow down or even look around or anything. The same thing could not be said about the one running in front of me, apparently she hesitated for a split of a second and continued running, and again one more time the gunshots were heard, and this time I could even guess where the sound was coming from, and that was exactly ahead of us, exactly where we are running to.I didn't think for a second or compare between the two dangers, the gunshots ahead of me and the wild beast behind me. Being between the two risks, I came to one conclusion, the gunshots ahead of me are the safest one to gamble with because at least humans are shooting the guns, so either they are shooting at another beast or at another human; either way, we will get some defense from the beasts chasing us, so instead of slowing down, I increased my speed towards where the gunshots are coming from.The sound became closer and closer, after a few minutes of our running towards the gunshots, when I suddenly felt a change in the sounds of the beasts that were chasing us behind us. When I looked back, I saw the two beasts turning back where we came from and running back. Were they afraid of the gunshots, or has something else piqued their interest, I couldn't tell, but that was a piece of good news and a relief to me and the two women, my running companions, since there is nothing else we share and I don't know anything about them, so I thought nothing was compelling me to run towards the gunshots since I have another option now.It seems that all of us came to the same conclusion because when I stopped, the other two also stopped at the same time, I looked at the one who was in front of me, the one with the swords, and wondered where did she got those beautiful short swords. I moved towards her, and apparently she felt my presence and readied herself by grabbing both swords very hard in her hands.I had to start a conversation to put her at ease, so I said, "Hello, my name is Aden, and I am lost in this forest." "Do you happen to know where we are?" Meanwhile, I raised my hands in a sundered position, showing her I meant no harm.As soon as I came closer to her, before she could even answer my question, I saw the same screen with the information I had seen earlier appear in front of my face:Nam: AmunAge: 18Race: HumanRank: AdventurersStatus: healthySkills: SwordsGifts: NilGrade: 1Phase: 1Points: 1Inventory: (Six Items)Remarks: ?????Mission: SurviveDuration: 24 Hours.I don't know why or how, but it's obvious that we are in the same situation. She hesitated for a second then said, "My name is Amun, and I don't know where we are or why we are here." Then she looked at the other woman who was standing behind me like she was making me a shield for her from the swords in her hands. She took one step backward and said, "My name is Jennan, I don't know either where we are or why, but for why? I have a guess."We both turned around to look at her, and, while waiting for her explanation, she became a little bit nervous from the way we started to look at her. " I responded to an advertisement for a job, and I found myself in this forest; that is all I know." At that moment, the same screen with her information appeared to me once more;Nam: JennanAge: 16Race: HumanRank: apprenticeStatus: healthySkills: handyman - CookGifts: NilGrade: 1Phase: 1Points: 1Inventory: (four items)Remarks: TempMission: SurviveDuration: 24 HoursNow it's becoming like a game I used to play, which used to show every character's information when you had a certain skill. When you are recruiting teams for an assignment or job order, you will be able to see everyone and can differentiate between friends and enemies, as well as who is telling lies, when you are recruiting teams for an assignment or job order. But why this world is like this, and most importantly, am I the only one who can see their information, or can they see mime also, I don't know the answer yet, but this is also another clue I have to consider.This world is not like the novels and anime that I used to read and watch, I haven't died or been reincarnated; I don't believe in this to begin with, and I haven't been summoned to this world, but I was abducted. There is someone behind this, and although I don't know who they are or why they are doing this, but I am sure what I saw in front of me is not a magic, and I am absolutely sure I will get to the bottom of this, whatever it takes. The gunshots started again, now in a rapid way, whatever's going on there, it's not something simple, and maybe it's the reason we are here, but to do what? I would not get the answer if I stayed here, so I decided to move forward and go and see what is going on.

Wake Up And Run The Meeting 2
In a location unknown at the same time that our group was struggling in the forest, in a bunker underground that no one knows where it is, six people were in a kind of meeting, but definitely no one was talking to anyone. In front of every one of them was a large screen, and although there was a large round table between them, and they were facing each other, the only thing separating them was the screen; otherwise, the distance between them from shoulder to shoulder was less than one foot, regardless that no one was able to see the face of the other because of a big hood covering their entire heads and shoulders.That strange scene was occurring every day. Those six people were meeting in that room, and stayed there for more than ten hours a day for ten days, and during those ten days, there was not a single word exchanged between them. Each one of them was busy watching and typing on their screens, and at the end of each day, each one of them submitted his or her report and left the

A volunteer is required for a simple experiment.Time frame: 24 hours.200 Credits as a reward.Note: If you extend your stay for an extra day, you will receive the same amount as a reward.Click Accept if you are willing to participate.Click deny if you are not interested.Julian, regardless of his youth, decided to accept that strange offer. He was aware that there is no free lunch in this world, but first of all, he had to inform his mother and tell her that he will be leaving for three days, although the message said only twenty-four hours and also mentioned that it can be extended for another day, so adding another day and making it three days seemed like the smart choice. Jackline was a very protective mother of her only child, but still Julian was sure that his mother would not refuse to accept the extra fortune because he was aware that his mother had never held that much money in her life. They can live off that money for months, both of them; it's not a luxury life, but at

After he turned and asked the guard who was beside him, "What should we do now?" The ground below them started to shake like an earthquake, and Ozak immediately started to run to the nearest tree to where he was standing and hug its trunk. The guard who was running with him stood in his place and did nothing, then he yelled to him, "Take cover somewhere; it's dangerous to stand where you are." The guard looked at him with confused eyes, but at the end decided to listen to him and went also to the nearest tree and did the same...................Hello, my name is Aden.

The woman looked at me, still holding the two swords in her hands, and asked, "Who are you?" That was the answer I got. I said, "I just told you my name is A

Amun's point of view I started raising my speed to catch up with the three men who were speeding towards a gunfire exchange ahead of us. Since I couldn't stop them even if I wanted to, the only thing I could do was follow them. Although I am lagging behind them because being short comes with short legs that can't keep up with tall me who have tall legs, the other one behind them and in front of me definitely was Raco, who is a couple inches taller than a man. Whether it was a good or bad thing, he was annoyed and smiling at the same time. Though I wanted to question him and try to know what he was doing, I refrained from asking because maybe it was something personal to him and I didn't have the right to ask about his business. We were closer because of the time we spent in the village, and I could ask anything, and he does that frequently, but when it came to personal life, there should be a limit to what you could ask, and you couldn't ask ever. That was the unspoken rule of travel

I started to run ahead without looking back, the fear was filling my brain, why I was afraid, I didn't know now, and the only signal my brain was sending to my body was to run, just run, running from what I didn't know, or why I was running or why I was scared.All this started two days ago, my supervisor told me "Congratulations, Adlian, you have been promoted to a monitor, and you are the youngest member of our organization, who has been promoted this fast, and that is because of your hard work and your dedication."

Wake Up And Run The beginning of The Adventure
Adline was running as fast as she could, she had never run in her life simply because there was no reason to, she didn't think that she could because her stamina was always low because of malnutrition, even normal walking for a distance was hard on her, and now that she is running, if anyone was able to measure her speed, it was 100 times faster than any human could do it; she didn't even notice that, how could she? She was running for her life, the worst thing was that she didn't even know why she was running or from what she was running. After she went through the gate she has no idea what happened after that. The next thing she knew was the voice that woke her up and told her to run, and as an obedient child, she obeyed and started to run, and the fear she felt contributed to that as well, a fear she had never experienced like this before in her life. She didn't notice also that she was running in a forest. After about 5 minutes of nonstop running, she heard the same voice again,

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. With a sigh, she rested her back on the chair she was sitting in and said, “I wonder if this was all a perdition or planned, I don’t know what they are thinking, fighting an alien invasion with abducted aliens.” a

Chapter 37Beginning of the Invasion Part 1BEmika’s point of viewThis was the worst nightmare I have been seeing, and I really wished it was just a nightmare, but it was not; it was a reality, a fact in front of my eyes. 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. But anything is better than being taken by surprise

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

He was staring at a black portal that was enormous, over four meters tall and ten meters wide, with a black square shape instead of the typical gateway portals seen on this planet. 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

In a manner I never had before, if it were anybody else in front of me telling me that, the first reaction that would accrue to me would have been to cut his head immediately, without even getting the opportunity to get questioned about where he got the information. 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.

From the blank way he was looking at him, the emperor noticed that the boy was looking at something else, and most probably he also got, “The lost art.” As one of the few humans on this planet who has knowledge of “the lost art” and has learned a few of its skills, he can tell that this boy has it.

Intermission Jack’s side story Part 1
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.
