Advertisement
If you had trouble reading the last chapter it has been redone. Just wanted to give a heads up.I usually write up the rough draft in google docs. Then take it through a grammar program. then add spaces but i forgot to add the spaces before i went to bed sorry about that.
Big thanks to Tercanum For editing this chapter for me.

You know... You would think getting out of a large circular forest was as easy as going in a straight line. But noo you'd be wrong. It just had to be a complex maze. How the hell did I even manage to find my way to the center so easily before?
This sword has been the only stroke of good luck I've had in a long time. And now I'm going to die of starvation in a forest full of hungry monsters. At least this Sword is doing its job correctly, which is keeping away everything that wants to have a quick snack.
Man I wish the other effect of clairvoyance would activate. I dont want to be lost anymore. Hey is it just me or is there a sparkling path? What! Could this be the random effect i was just hoping for! Ever since i got this sword things have been on the up and up for me. Hell i might even make it for the registration!(author notes *cough cough sch cough arc*).
It took me about an hour to leave the forest following the faint trail of light. Once we were at the edge it felt so good to see the sun again. Sadly I had no idea which side of the forest were on. Maybe if I asked the sword where the closest town was it might show me? Well can't hurt to try.
[Hey, Show me the way to the nearest village please.]
After a few minutes I began to lose hope in it working. But out of no where that strange sparkling path showed up again. Since it didnt lead me wrong the first way Im going to trust it once more.
After 4 hours of walking we started to approach a 15 ft wooden wall. Before we go inside I attempted to activate the swords other aura ability that supposedly makes it go unnoticed.But like when I first tried to use the [intimidating aura] it seemed like it wasn't working. I was confused as to why it wasn't working.

After hard bit of thinking, I decided that I'm just going to have to trust that like the [intimidating aura] skill, this too doesn't affect me.
I began to approach the gate, there was one guards man and he had a country bumpkin feel to him. So before he began to even speak I told myself, just play nice.
[Hey! what business does a demi human have in these parts?]
[I came to buy some clothes and supplies, I just got back from exploring the uncharted area. And if you cant already tell im in need of some new clothes.]
[O I can tell missy, but entrance will cost you one gold.]
Gods I hate that stare he's giving me. I'll just quickly pay up so I can get out of his sight.
[Here you go, thanks for letting me through.]
When entering the town I kept on getting pervy stares from men all over, so the first place i decided to visit was the tailor’s shop. A part of me wanted to ask the sword if he knew where it was.But i decided against it, other people might be able to see the mana path and I didn't want to draw any extra attention to my already standing-out self, I don't want an another incident like before.
After looking about for a good half hour, I finally found a tailor. I had to ask a few of the women who were walking past. At first they all gave me a disgusted look... But after hearing my story coupled with my fake blushing, they started to pity me and pointed me in the right direction.
I entered the shop and was greeted by the owner. She seemed angry that I had brought a weapon into her shop and since i didn't really mind, I set my sword down on the table and began to look for new clothes clothes.
Then the sword just reappeared in my hands. That scared me a little. One minute im holding a pair of pants and the next I'm holding a sword.I really didn't want to turn around... But I had to explain or I wouldn't be able to get new clothes.

Laura: [Sorry about that, this sword is a bit unique in the fact that it will teleport into the owners hand if someone else tries to pick it up]
owner:[I DONT CARE GET OUT. NO ONE BREAKS MY RULES!!!]
After about 30 minutes of negotiating, I told that I'll place it on the ground and begged her saying that I really needed new clothes. I even agreed to pay a little extra.Seeing her calm down she finally agreed to it saying, if it happens again it again she's kicking me out.
So I placed it on the table, as far away from the door as I could and began my quest for new clothes. After a good bit of time I finally managed to find some clothes.After more apologizing and paying more than I had originally planned I began to leave the shop. And puff like magic it once again appeared in my hand. I can't quite figure if this sword’s teleport skill is annoying or not.
I decided to leave town as fast as I could as I didn't want to be here anymore. Since I previously walked around town half naked and all. So I decided to start heading towards Scholas and register myself for Knights training.
On the road to Scholas, I knew I was going to get attacked by a few bandits and monsters. But since I was afraid I might not have been able make in time for registration I needed to hurry. So I simply activated the swords [intimidating aura] and they just passed out there and then.I swear this sword seems to be getting stronger.
Further down the road i met a fairly nice merchant who sold me some leather armor for rather cheap. I was also able to sell him the stuff i got out of the “attempted bandit attacks”. I definitely didn't leave all that stuff behind.Which rounded my gold out to about 35 pieces.
Its been a week since I started my journey to Scholas. I have since done some workout routines to improve my chance of passing the entrance exam. But ever since I got this sword I seem to be able to run for half a day without getting even a little tired.
So once I got onto a main road I decide to push my limits and see how long I could last running at full speed...Turns out I'm already at the wall, I have been running for 2 days straight without even so much as stopping to sleep or even rest.
WHAT'S UP with this sword? I Knew it gave me an increase in stamina and all but that doesn't mean I should be able sprint for 2 days straight. There's got to be something I'm missing here. I just wish I knew someone that I trusted enough to ask about this.
If I manage to pass the entrance exam I'm definitely going to ask the principal as I've heard he was a honorable man. Along with being the most skilled warrior in this Kingdom. As i began to approach the gates I activated the code name “cloaking aura”. During my running i attempted to change the activation word for that skill mainly because it's a pain to say the full thing. I'm not sure if it worked but there's only one way to find out.
______________________________________________________________________________
the go plan for the other perspective's is to improve on my conversation skills which i suck at. And the sword is descriptive writing improvement. The Swords chapter's are going to be longer then these ones (except the last one it was late.) and provide more detail on whats going on while these type of chapters are intereaction's with laura herself like conversations so on and so forth. (also there is a reason why the sword doesn't listen in on conversations. see if you can figure it out). hope you dont mind the next sword chapter is going to be one of the harder ones to write but i will try my best

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

The story follows the footsteps of Jack Geralt – a Royal Australian Regiment veteran who, along with his friends, is recalled into active duty in response to this event.

P.S #2: I am sure you noticed that the Cover Art is not mine. I simply chose from my collection of favorite Concept Arts. If whoever designed this art sees this, I thank you very much. Since I am doing everything myself and have to alternate between my work and writing, this is the best I could do. P.S#3: If there are any inconsistencies with what you know (for example, location’s names, recent world events and properties), please remember: This Story takes place in a fictional and alternate reality.

Kidnapped by the Alpha
This is back up! I never got around to editing it because I didn't have the time like I thought I would. Enjoy this and the sequel.Isabelle was jolted awake out of her nightmare quite suddenly. Dazed, she tried to look around but found that her head was held firmly to the pillow under her. Cloth covered her mouth and nose, a sickly sweet smell enveloping her senses. Her mind began getting hazy. Chloroform, her mind whispered almost silently. Her vision began tunneling, and she weakly looked up into a pair of icy blue eyes. She stared into those eyes as she was pulled deeply and forcefully into oblivion. Isabelle is a smart girl and not really the girly type unless going out. You would usually see her wearing sweats around the house or outside in her backyard on the beach since she lives on the ocean. So when she suddenly gets kidnapped one day, she wonders what she had ever done to deserve this. She hadn't done anything wrong, at least she didn't think she did. But she learns that there is something about her that is special and that she is not only human. Meet Jared Gray, the person that kidnapped Isabelle because of her being his mate. He's been waiting since he was 16 to find his mate and now he's 22, about to give up on ever finding his mate. But when he smells her in a mall one day, he follows her home and decides to take what's his. Isabelle's life will never be the same again. Will she be able to escape or will she fall in love with her hot and charming kidnapper that she wants nothing to do with? Or will she stay with him and eventually fall in love? --- THIS IS A DRAFT. And I was 15 when I first started writing it so there are many mistakes. Please don't judge too harshly. WARNING: CONTAINS SOME SCENES OF SEXUAL AND MATURE CONTENTALSO, MANY MISTAKES! SOME THINGS I'VE WRITTEN I FORGOT TO PUT BACK IN THE STORY SO THIS NEEDS TO BE HEAVILY EDITED. Sequel is called Unwinding Fate
