Murim Recurve Chapter 146

"The Stars…" Re'Kha muttered, finding it odd at the sight before her. The stars too were a concept alien to her. She hadn't ever seen them in her world nor had ever come across documents pertaining to one.
It was as if her world didn't possess any stars. Re'Kha gazed at their twinkling figures for some time before she remembered her goal. She sighed, planning to understand them through google later as she grabbed a quick bite before driving her car.
Her phone had been ringing nonstop so she placed it on mute. She didn't even see the name of the caller nor the messages that she had received. For, seeing them would mean a Quest would be triggered.
It might be as simple as returning to her home. But, such a Quest might screw up her plans. That was why Re'Kha closed her eyes and swiped them away before using her phone's functions. Thanks to the information that flowed into her mind, she readily turned off all notifications from all the apps.
This way, no message would pop up while she was surfing the internet for some information. It soon became night, but the roads were still bright enough for her to see with her naked eye.
Re'Kha looked up and noticed the bright radiance emitted from the moon. The twinkling of the stars also added to the brightness, making the night seem less grim than what she had been used to.
In her world, nights were scary. After all, it was when the Sha were the most active. Re'Kha trembled unconsciously when it became nighttime, but the logic stemming from her character made her realise that there existed no such thing as a Sha on Earth.
Moreover, this information was familiar. "Right, I did learn of most of them in my previous explorations. But, I had forgotten them because I lacked enough understanding of such concepts."

"What should I do…" Re'Kha mumbled, "How can I retain all the information I learned here and not forget them when I return to my world?"
As she drove around, Re'Kha noticed some houses located in the wilderness. There was just a small cluster of houses, numbering around 20, followed by vast swathes of lands where crops were grown.
"…Agriculture," The term resounded in her mind. Again, this too was a foreign concept to her. In her world, most of the food resources weren't produced from crops, but from massive trees that were guarded in the settlements and the centre of the cities.
Only when they were that massive were they able to resist the elements and grow. Any small crop planted outside wouldn't survive until harvest time. After all, there were numerous instances of the beasts and animals prowling about. Most of the time, they would destroy any signs of activity on the lands.
It was also the reason they attacked the cities, for, in their minds, the settlements were an act that went against nature. That was why they had never cultivated anything on the vast land that lay outside their cities and settlements.
But here, Re'Kha saw people move about freely over the land and do whatever they wanted without a single sign of threat. Judging by their postures, Re'Kha noted how they were just concerned about their work.
And, there didn't seem to be an enemy that threatened them.
"So, humans here have no threat to their lives. How envious," She sighed as some information related to it resounded in her mind, "On Earth, the only race that poses a threat to humans are fellow humans themselves."
"Such irony," She sighed, "You are all part of one race without any biological difference. But, instead of enjoying in peace, you still wage wars from time to time."

As she looked around her, she laughed, "But still, this world is mostly one of peace. Look, people here have no sense of danger in them."
She then looked at the appearance of her character, "And, the fact that such weak people lead wealthy lives is a sign the world is peaceful."
8:00 PM, Re'Kha arrived at the city of Mysore. She stopped her car at a certain spot and peered through the window, looking at the image of the Mysore Palace, the place she had appeared in her second exploration.
It was the same as in her memories. After a moment of thought, Re'Kha exited her car, locked it, and held the key in her hand. She walked through the place, looking around based on the memory from her second exploration, "There should be someone selling that dish named Chole Bhature around here."
She soon spotted the vendor that sold it, stopping as she gazed at it from afar. She looked at the time on her watch, "It should happen soon."
She then noticed a crying eight-year-old girl walk on the road, having been separated from her parents. The girl stopped before the shop selling the food as she silently shed tears.
"Last time, I found her around this time. And, if nothing else happens, her mother should arrive about now." Re'Kha thought, feeling a headache at the amount of difficulty she faced in locating the girl.
They had been separated two hours ago, and considering the crowd that traversed the place, it was hard finding her. Moreover, the reason she had failed the quest was due to a certain someone that appeared at the scene right before her mother—the character Re'Kha had been playing as back then—could come to her rescue and kidnapped her.
"Just as I expected, she's here." Re'Kha frowned as she made a move, watching a middle-aged lady glance around the girl before noticing that she was really alone. She also ensured to wait for a couple of minutes to judge the time the girl had been alone based on her body language and her lack of energy in crying.
But, before the middle-aged lady could appear to sweet-talk the girl, Re'Kha arrived at the scene, smiling at the girl, "I was searching everywhere for you, Swetha."

Fantasy World Epsilon 30-10
New Dive Assignment: 0B5 Personnel: Citizen of Gamma G-037-072 Jonathan Kelly World Designation: Epsilon H-037-072-030-010 Classification: Pre-industrial Exotic World, significant outliers in biosphere including atypical flora and fauna. Quarantine protocol in effect pending more data and acclimation testing. Further anomalies include populations of morphologically distinct humanoids, and aberrations in otherwise normative physics laws. Causal chain appears provisionally stable. For the purposes of delaying onset of collapse as well as above mentioned factors, only one subject is cleared to Dive. Initial mandates shall proceed with scouting and surveillance. Further details are classified. Warning: All other qualifying personnel are currently dispatched. Refusal will result in deployment delays and possible unsupervised causal decay. Do you wish to accept this assignment? Note to Readers: This is not MC isolated in a new world. This is new world joins the multiverse. What I'm tentatively coining Subverted Isekai (Formerly I used 'reversed' but, as pointed out, that would be fantasy MC goes to the modern world. Hey, there's idea! Not this book though.). There is plenty of scientific and philosophical stuff; I know that can be a turn off for some. It has a strong bearing on the story, but is mainly covered in the 'Comments & Calculations' section (optional reading of course). If you are looking for an extreme suspension of natural laws with no technical considerations, you will not find it here. Formatting Notes: Audio chatter from characters that are not currently in the scene I format in "inverted commas and italics". Given the layered nature of modern communication, I thought this distinction was best denoted visually in my prose. Critique is welcome. Language Notes Jon is a South African ex-pat. As such he will use some Afrikaans colloquialisms plus a dash of Japanese. Most importantly he says “Ja” meaning “Yes”. Pronounced with a J sound like “yo” and an A sound like “bar”. As in: “Yo, let’s go to the strip bar.” “Ja.” And not the Rastafarian /jya/. Other words: Nee - /niya/ : no Juffrou - /yif-row/ : Miss Lekker - /lacker/ : nice, good, delicious Nooit - /noit/: never The rest is mostly swear words. Indisputably the most useful words in any language and simultaneously holding the least innate meaning. Fok - “fork” without the “r”: fuck Bliksem - /Bluksim/: darn, damn. Also common noun meaning damn person or thing. Donner - “Dorner” without the “r”: originally meaning thunder, can also mean darn or damn. It is often used as a verb meaning: ‘to hit hard’ Kak - /kuck/: shit Voetsek - /foot-sack/: go away
