Here's the Chapter, Enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scott was in complete darkness, a darkness that could not be described as deep and endless night. This darkness felt flat and truly empty, nonexistent.
No, he was standing on an endless meadow, long green grass rippling in the wind, the smell of fresh air lingering in his nostrils.
Again he was somewhere else, it was a futuristic city that was completely devoid of people. Strange vehicles askew and scattered about.
Scott continued to be transported to various places that were as diverse as the sun and the moon. The only thing the places all had in common were that had no other person but him.
Finally, Scott arrived at a small park with a large gazebo. Something felt different about this place than all the others. There was a distinct feeling of something other than himself watching him.
He was walking up to the gazebo when suddenly a loud voice came from behind him.
(????) “WELCOME! TO BEFORE THE UNIVERSE! Also after, and outside. Maybe I shouldn’t say welcome, you have been here for eternity, you also just got here a second ago.
Scott turned around and saw a man standing where he had walked through a moment before.
(Scott) Who the hell are you!?!? Are you crazy or something?
(????) “I am everything and everyone, nobody and no one. Although inside this instance I am Instance 4,964e^99: Einstein.”

Now that he mentioned it, he kind of looked like a younger version of Einstein.
(Scott) “How can you be Einstein? And what do you mean by Instance?”
(Einstein?) “To explain that I first must explain where you currently are. To be blunt, you died in your universe and at the same time you exited the universe through the space-time anomaly that your accelerator caused.”
(Scott) “So you’re saying that I’m dead and outside the universe?”
(Einstein?) “No, you are dead in your universe and an instance of you exited your universe.”
(Scott) “Huh?”
(Einstein?) “To put it as simply as I possibly can outside of the universe possibility becomes actuality”
(Scott) “Possibility becomes actuality?”
(Einstein?) “Inside the universe, everything is relative. Light is the fastest thing in the universe. Stars are light years apart. However, outside the universe relativity does not exist, causing all possibilities to be simultaneously true. These possibilities are called instances. For example, I am standing here talking to you as Einstein, but at the same time another instance of me is currently murdering another instance of you.”
(Scott) “So if all possibilities are actuality does that mean there is a simultaneous reality where I am you?”
(Einstein) “Yes, that's true, however there is something special about that particular instance of you. Unlike all other instances outside the universes, this instance of you is not connected to any of the other instances. You retain the individuality inherent to residents of a universe.”
(Scott) “Wait, so if all possibilities are happening simultaneously how are you and I having a regular conversation right now?”
(Einstein) “That is because right now we are in a pocket universe and not subject to the true chaos of the outside. This is possible because Instances are not just people. This pocket universe is another instance of me. In fact, all universes are instances and as such there are an unlimited number of them with an infinite variety of structures and laws. Universes are created when an instance explodes. This is the reason they always start with the big bang. At the moment of the big bang time starts up, space expands, the matter native to that universe is created, and the physical laws are applied.”

(Scott) “This is fascinating and all but why are you telling me this and what does it have to do with me?”
(Einstein) “Hahaha! The reason I am telling you this is because I find you interesting, an instance apart from the rest, and as for what it has to do with you it is because of your special characteristics. Because you retain the qualities of a being born of a universe you are inherently incompatible with the Outside. As such you are being drawn back into a similar universe to the one you came from. This universe will be about 99.99% identical to the one you lived in previously. However, as you will find out that 0.01% difference will have a huge impact. Furthermore, as time does not exist outside the universes there is no way to predict which time period you will arrive in. Once you are pulled into this new universe, as your body both exists and doesn’t exist at the same time you will simply be born from the matter of that universe.”
(Scott) “So essentially I will be reincarnated…”
(Einstein) “Essentially, yes. When you are reborn you will lose your memories of anything before, however, you will retain your knowledge, your base personality, the strongest emotions from your last life, and your ability. This has to do with an incompatibility of the memory data between worlds and is not really that important to go into further detail on.”
(Scott) “So when exactly will this happen?”
(Einstein) “As soon as I take us out of this pocket universe. Which is right about now. Well, good luck in your new world! Bye!”
(Scott) “Wait!”
As Scott yelled everything went black… for the second time.

Again from Scratch Saga: Izmittor Unchained
If someone precious to you needed your help, would you extend it? Would you still do it if it costs you your peace and perhaps even your life? For Tercius, a man mysteriously reborn nearly thirteen years ago, there was only one answer to both questions. Feeling compelled, he sets out to journey to the northern Sogea and its infamous Western Izmittor mountain range, a natural stronghold of sky tearing mountains and deep canyons. Legends about the place abounded, but he knew without a doubt that the hidden valleys, rushing rivers, thick forests, and desolate landscapes hid powerful predators, the likes of which stalk the harsh terrains for an easy source of meat and bones. The many natural dangers of Western Izmittor would be hard enough to navigate safely for a lone traveler, but to make matters worse Tercius had enemies in the heights of Western Izmittor, humans and spirits who would see him dead if they ever learned of his true connection to the Pyramid of Tergaron and the Society of the Magi. To make things even more difficult, he also had to ensure that the true extent of his own Innate Skills remained hidden, for if the prying eyes of the world fell on him and his many secrets came to light, then he would never again know a day of peace. Can one reborn man manage to keep his secrets and still succeed in doing what his conscience compels him to? Will he have to choose one over the other? And can he do any of it without reigniting the sparks of a planetary war the likes of which had not been seen in millennia? Follow Tercius’ story and find out! *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** This story is a continuation of Again from Scratch, a story of mine also posted on RR. Reading it is NOT necessary to read this story, but for anyone who wants to get a little bit more background, here is a link: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/38803/again-from-scratch Again from Scratch was my first journey into writing and I have taken all I learned from that and started writing Again from Scratch Saga, a continuation that is almost stand alone. Changes in certain phrases and words between the two are edits made because of the rewrite plans I have for the old story. The story is available here, on RR, on Webnovel, and on Scribble Hub.The cover was taken from PublicDomainPictures.net and made by one Nona Lohr

The Infinity Project
Infinity would be the greatest achievement of contemporary game development. A new, next-gen VR system, with many games available on startup. Created by many companies working under a single group - Demiurge Forge Incorporated, a well known even if rather eccentric company. ... and then things went downhill. Horribly so. Now playing the game is not a matter of entertainment... but of survival. In one of the most detailed - and sadistically abusive - settings in history of VRMMORPGs.

A Fractal Divide
Lesivar is a city in ascendancy. With recent innovations in magical crafting, the common people are experiencing a boom in comfort and wealth. The nobility, long used to being the stewards of knowledge and power, struggle to adapt to the new world in which they find themselves. A precarious balance has been maintained throughout, but forces stir beneath the surface threatening to send the city spiraling into chaos. This is my first attempt at writing anything longer than a short story, and I welcome any feedback or corrections. I'm posting this as I write, with each chapter going live upon completion. My current pace is about a chapter a day, which I expect to take my through the end of November. From there, I'm shooting for a chapter every two-three days until the book is completed, along with an editing pass of what is already up. I'm planning on three POV characters with unique insight into the story as it unfolds. Each chapter will contain only one POV. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Grey Worlds
A mysterious incident occurred on a otherwise normal science centered world where all of the children from the age range of eight to sixteen suddenly vanished. “Where have their kids gone and will they ever return?” The now childless parents never got to really ask that question, because a strange new element replaced their lost children. This element slowly mutated the various animals that they once ruled over with their technology to the point that they were immune to their modern weaponry. The barren land of savages on a continent far away from theirs also had their children taken, but they easily mutated just like the beasts and only grew stronger thanks to the incident. A revolution of animals eventually took place after the mutations started to cause the animals to understand just how badly the humans ruined their lives and planet. Humans were the slowest to figure out how to use this strange new element to evolve, while their opponents were evolving and growing stronger by the day they couldn’t even surpass their modern technology. When humanity was on the brink of extinction a long forgotten event finally ended and their children finally started to return from the various worlds they were summoned to! It turns out that the mysterious new element that they didn’t know what to call was mana and that it’s everywhere in some fantasy planets. The children brought back a increase in technology and techniques to grow stronger with, which caused the humans to finally be able to build safe havens for their race. They grew stronger and started to finally adapt to their brand new environment. This is the story of a orphan who was taken away from his world, before he could gain a sense of attachment to the world. Who only has his older sister to care about and how he ends up adapting to the new world in front of him.------------------Dog notes by doggo First 'five' chapters aren't what the story is really about and is more of a prologue. The reason why some are separated into parts is because Doggo originally posted them as a entire chapter. The main setting is Ghost's actual world and not any foreign world. So this story was already posted once to another site or this site three years ago… and Dog is finally ending that three year hiatus! The explanation on why Dog was on a three year hiatus would of been written in the review section, but rrl doesn't allow self reviews. I'd have to create a alt just to self review which they obviously don't want even tho I'd not give myself any stars so its going to be here instead. The update schedule is a chapter a week till Dog get a editor and then two chapters a week till Dog gets enough money to pay for Dog’s bills. The final goal is to release a chapter every other day. Dog writes 4k word chapters so they are about twice as long as some of the other authors so every other day is actually more like once a day. ------------------- The part that was supposed to be the 'review' which Dog wont bother editing out repeat infomation since it wasn't supposed to go here in the first place. The first thing Dog will go over is what changed for the first 5 chapters, so that anyone who still remembers Dog's little novel and wants to continue from where Dog originally left off can decide whether or not to reread it. Also Dog is moving over to qidan simply because dog like the app they have. Dog won't go premium even if Qidan tells dog to and will simply move back to royalroad or create a blog.The things that changed over the years are mainly two important things. The first is that Dog changed the first person point of view to a third person, because Dog read a really bad first person novel and it reminded dog of dogs own novel. Dog also changed the thoughts of the character to be - - instead of italics. Finally dog changed chapter 3 completely to make the mc not seem like a homicidal maniac and introduced a important character in chapter 3.What happened to do in the three years that dog was away? Was dog at college and now needs money to eat? Was dog off in space after successfully becoming a astronaut and has now returned home with a completed novel or two? The answer is actually quite plain dog graduated from highschool and was supposed to only spend a year at dogs owners house to choose what major dog wanted to go to college for.Dog didn't do that and is still stuck with dogs owners and is sick of being a neet. Dog wants to move and buy doggy food, but dog is antisocial and doesn't want to work a simple 9 to 5 job for the rest of dogs life. Dog is a reader before dog is a author and the reason why dog got into writing was because dog wanted to write a novel without all the things dog finds annoying. Dog spent the first year reading various novels and dropping various novels. Dog is all caught up and has to much free time on dogs paws. The first year that Dog took off was the very same year that qidan came out so dog was naturally overloaded with free chapters. But now that pemium exists dog naturally has to limit the amount dog can read. Dog is addicted to reading like my very own readers and can understand your frustrations for dog disappearing for 3 years.Dog decided that dog will go back to writing 2 years ago. Dog wanted a decent stockpile incase dog has any other emergency so dog didn't post for a year but then dog decided to change the point of view which took another year.Dog has a patreon page https://www.patreon.com/mclaindog but there isn't any tiers there or goals till dog gets a editor. My final goal is to release a chapter every other day, but as long as Dog gets a editor Dog will do two free chapters a week.Dog will probably also make a kofi for anyone who just wants to send dog a tip and can't afford to donate money monthly while maybe having bonus chapters if the tip jar gets filled.
