2022-01-26 00:16:34Rushing towards the tunnel, Xaviel encountered another Giant Rat. Like before, the rat hiss towards him aggressively. Xaviel then holds out his knife, still running aiming to stab its head. The rat's movement is relatively similar to the one Xaviel had killed before. They hiss and body slam.
SHRUST!
Xaviel, who had anticipated this, successfully thrust his knife to its brain, this time thrusting from the upper head skull to the brain, avoiding the toxic near its chin. The creature struggles a little, and after a few seconds, it stops moving.
“A clean kill..”
Xaviel said as he took out the knife swiftly.As he walked through the corridors and found more rats to fight, Xaviel became more aware of his ability. He now can adequately use his power to damage certain body parts or organs by his own choice. The feeling of hunger then came, pausing his intent of killing other rats.
Upon reaching the cellar room from the knob-less northern door, he looked around, searching for food. However, he didn’t find any trace of food. It occurred to him that the world he is in may have not invented canned foods or any other types of storage-able food.
“Sucks to be in this era..” Xaviel mumbled as he entered the southern door.
“Guess I’ll head back a bit,”
Xaviel touched The Tree Root once again. Light emerges yet again, zapping him from this world to his original world in a flash.
***
Xaviel, who had arrived in his original world, moved swiftly from the bed to his high-spec computer. He enters the keyword ‘Survival Tips and Guides’ in the Gurugel search engine. Many search results then popped out.
He scrolled down each article and website until he found a website named ‘Whatyouneedtodotosurvive.com.’ As soon as he clicked the website, he was greeted with an eye-catching web design. The website has many articles regarding how to survive in a specific situation, like, ‘Howto Survive In Forest,’ ‘Howto Survive In Caves,’ ‘Howto Survive in a Desert’, etc.
Xaviel then assumes his situation in the other world was similar to that in a cave. As he clicked the article regarding tips for survival in a cave. He carefully scrolls and reads its content.
“THE HELL YOU SAY!”
Xaviel shouted in shock. He was somewhat surprised to find that one of the foods recommended for survival in a cave. In a survival condition, it is actually safe to eat a rat. Yuck. That’s what Xaviel thought right off the bat. Just to prove the article that he is reading was wrong. He opened another tab in the browser and searched whether a rat is contagious to eat or not.
Alas, he found more and more proof that it’s actually quite acceptable to eat a rat. If one were to cook it properly. Virus and harmful organisms may be killed and exterminated when the rat’s carcass is heated correctly.
As he returned to the Howto Survive website, he noted and remembered most of the details inside the articles. The time now was showing 17:10, as it had been about 5 hours Xaviel spent in another world. Mostly spent fighting the Giant rats, studying their physiology, movement pattern, and mastering his own ability.
“I’ll return at 18:00, I guess,”
BZRRT
A vibration sound was heard by Xaviel. The Phone that was beside Xaviel’s PC setup was receiving a call. Looking at the name shown, it was one of his friends at Uni. He still feels somewhat weird to be around them. However, getting called on the Phone was actually heartwarming for Xaviel. It actually made him feel a bit better. It made him think that he was really scared by his friend.
As he opened his Phone again for the first time in forever, he instantly opened the research group multi-chat on ‘ENIL,’ a widely spread messenger. In the messenger, his friend has been texting about him. Wondering where he had gone to for the past 3 months. Indicolite was a prestigious college. The research group had always maximized their credits throughout the year. This made them really busy, especially in the 2nd and 3rd months. As the 3rd month had already passed, their friends finally got the time to hang out with Xaviel. Or rather, it was merely his expectation.
“I can’t believe the bitch had the nerve to suddenly move! After all our effort of trying to forgive him. The hell he had to scare us like that. Maybe he's using drugs www. What an ungrateful drug addict. LMAO,” said one of his friends through the chat. It was unsent after a split second. To which, his other friends responded with the word ‘LMFAO.’
BLUK!
Xaviel threw his Phone to the wall in anger. As his Phone cracked and seemingly unusable, he lost balance and sat on his bed. Tears fell droplets at a time from his cheeks. His teeth gritted, and his fist clenched.

“What.. what happened to this place?” Serena, who was grocery shopping, had been shocked to find the Crestia household was in shambles. Papers were everywhere, some of the furniture was ruined. As Serena began to analyze the place, he found droplets of unknown liquid substances and pieces of cloth.
Serena closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
“KheTa” As she opened her eyes, yellow shade light began to occupy Serena’s eyes. The eyes glow radiantly for a few seconds. At that moment, she looks around swiftly, seemingly searching for something. After 20 seconds, her eyes lose their glow.
“This cloth… It looks so similar to what Maru usually wears. There are also bits of armor inside this room. That can’t be a mere coincidence,”
Serena stops and thinks for a few seconds. She roses from her squat position and exits the household.
As she ran to the Village market, he looked around the area.
“As I suspected, why is there no Village guard patrolling?” Serena said. The situation has a very ominous feeling to it. She can’t be sure what’s really going on, but she knows. Something is terribly wrong.
“Hey, Serena!” a familiar voice calls her.
Serena looked in the direction of the voice. She is delighted that the one who called her turns out to be Maru.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Maru casually asked.
“The House! It’s in total shambles!”
“What? What are you talking about?”
“I don’t know what happened. When I came back from shopping, the house was peculiar. Papers are scattered, and some furniture was ruined!”
“The hell? What of Mika and Mom or Dad?”
“They were nowhere to be found. Dad previously walked Xaviel through the town for a job interview. Mom was with Mika in the house. It doesn’t make sense that both of them were missing simultaneously! Something is terribly wrong!” Serena starts to blurt out her thoughts, panicking.
PAT.
“Serena. I know you’re scared, but stay calm. I’m still here. Rather than stressing the circumstances, let’s search for clues and find out where they went. I’ll search for Mom and Mika. In the meantime, you went ahead and asked around town whether they had seen Xaviel and Dad or not.”
“… Alright,” Serena responded as she became calmer. “But don’t you dare go missing too!” Serena pouts as she lightly punches Maru’s left arm.
“It’s alright. I am fairly strong. Right Rook?” Maru looked to Zed.
“You’re more than that, I think. Hehe.”
“See?” Maru looked back to Serena.
Serena nods in agreement. Without any more words between the two, Maru and Serena set out different paths to find the whereabouts of their family. Unknowingly to the danger ahead of them.

BUK BUK BUK! Duke delivered a series of punches towards Mr. Jones.The training facility was once again filled with sweat and blood. The two fought with utmost seriousness, and no trace of familyhood remained.Perhaps Mr. Jones also wanted Duke to develop much faster. Or maybe it’s because Mr. Jones sees Duke as his future successor, so he is so hard on him today.Since my last fight with Mr. Jones two weeks ago, I have learned more by practicing alone.

Yet I managed to gather those imbued air particles into creating my weapon.Because I made a dagger, I suppose I can call it my [Spectral Dagger]By logic, my weapon is just made out of air particles that are stuck inside some sort of frame. So, I had to maintain the frame of my weapon, which was a dagger. The only real damage that can be dealt is when I set the particle to hit the enemy. Yet using complex com

“Joy Soda with three glasses,” Mikaila said as she served the beverage.“So this is your esteemed Joy Soda Ankara. It’s a shame I didn’t taste the one you made at the party.” Mr. Jones said.“Joy Soda, huh?” The green-eyed man said before pouring a glass for himself. GULPAs the liquid entered his system, he formed a smile. “This is good.” He said.“Thank you. Even though I didn’t make this batch, the server here learned it from me. So it’s a pleasure to know the drink is a delight,” I said.A few moments of silence passed by as I ate the Fried Rice.“Codename?” Mr. Jones asked towards the green-eyed man.“It’s Shielder, Mr. Hebsly.”Shielder huh? No wonder he seemed familiar; we fought before. His hair wasn’t white the first time we met, though.“Nice to meet you, Shielder. I am Varenza Shankara.” I offered a handshake.Shielder didn’t seem to form any expression and grabbed my hand. “Nice to meet you, General Ankara.”As we shook hands, the air of awkwardness spread.“By the tense
Chapter 65: Unwanted Exposure
A blade was thrusting from the back of Mr. Jones’s body. It had struck somewhere around his left chest. Most probably, his opponent was targeting his heart. Suddenly, another figure appeared and grabbed the stabber’s arm. With a powerful punch aimed at the stabber’s hip, the new figure launched the stabber away from Mr. Jones.Mr. Jones didn’t seem too bothered as he carefully assessed the situation. He lifted his red right hand towards the stabber and asked, “Did Jack send you?” The stabber stayed quiet, keeping his mouth shut.“Step aside,” He said as the new figure was hushed to step away.Mr. Jones released the trigger on his imaginary gun.BANG!A red light appeared from the chest area of the stabber. Blood spilled from the stabber’s mouth. As he was coughing up blood, Mr. Jones’ chest was filled with blue light. This blue light is a part of his Forte. This Forte is known as Red Right Hand: 2nd Barrel. It works as a means to counter damage. Any damage to Mr. Jones can be transferr
Chapter 64: Thomas Hebsly of The Razor Peaks
The Fisherman and I follow Jack Nelson as the party ends instead of using a horse carriage or chariot like the other guests. They used a rather peculiar cart that used petrol and ran on wheels. I am familiar with that kind of cart. It's called a 'car' rather than a cart. People in Estovania used it quite a lot, yet they didn't first develop it. Most state-of-the-art stuff originated in Willhelmia or the 'Prince' region."That cart is very fast; how are we supposed to follow it?" I said."WOA-!" Fish shouted a little before I instinctively shut his mouth with my hands. "Shut the hell up, dumbass. We'll get caught!" I whispered as I slightly tightened my grip on his mouth. He reacted by nodding up and down. Only then did I release his mouth from my grasp."But why are you here, Vice-Boss Duke Hebsly?" He blatantly said."Don't say my name so casually. Dammit! And What else do you think I am here for? I am here to help you spy on Jack Nelson!" I replied."But the boss didn't say a thing a
Chapter 63: Idealist versus Realist
“Excuse me sirs and madam. I am here to serve wine.” A male servant went inside the table where the conspirators of Seraphinania is sitting. He placed the glass one by one, as another servant poured it down.“A perfect time for a drink isn’t it?” Oswald Leysom said enticing everyone to touch their respective glasses.“There might be some rough sides to this plan of ours. Yet, with all the people here, I am pretty sure we can pull it through quite nicely.” Ms. Eye said with confidence before glancing at Mr. Jones. “By the by, is Jones here the one who used to sell opium to the Molosno family?”Mr. Jones looks around as the attention turns towards him. “Yes. As a matter of fact, I am. Yet ever since one year ago, the distributor position for my opium is vacant.”“I see.” Ms. Eye drinks her wine before speaking again, “Then you indeed are Thomas Hebsly.”“Wonderful guess, Madam. How could you ever guess who he was?” Oswald said, making everyone else except Mr. Jones giggle. “I see. Then
