《Era: Dawn of the New Gods》Chapter 11: Hello World!
Advertisement
Jade read the information and thought ‘what an info dump this is, it’ll take a while for me to adapt to all this news, so I’m a new species, that explains the crazy amount of vision I have, but what is this en-code and energy, I’ve never seen them before, and judging by what is written here I’ve been asleep for about 2 days?!’
Jade brought the phone out of his pocket and found it smashed ‘How did this happen? The last thing I remember was the sphere popping, the corpse is still there but why is the roof so damaged and why does it feel like something is pulling me back every time I move… calm down, it was probably the evolution process’
Jade got up ‘I should probably do as they say and understand my new body. I’m way skinnier than I was before’ he thought as he went down stairs, he heard the ticking of a clock accompanied by buzzing in the room he entered.
He approached the clock, whose hands he could see clearly although the lights in the room were out, moving so slowly as if it was in molasses; it took forever for a second to pass.
He put his ear close to the clock ‘the buzzing is coming from the battery, I can hear such a low current buzzing, if a bullet is shot won’t I go deaf? And time seems to be moving slower than it did before’. He moved his hand up, down and sideways trying to find the reason for the resistance, then it clicked to him ‘Air resistance! I’m moving so much faster than before. SICK!’ he thought as he saw the objects in the room tremble or fly around as he moved his hand.
‘How strong am I then if I’m so fast?’ he thought as he tried to hold the handle of the door leading out of the room with all his might. The metal handle bent like it was made of chewing gum before he could put his full might into it ‘Whoa, I’m Superman this is so amazing… did the students also evolve? I should check up on them’ he thought as he went down to the building they were in as fast as he could.
The wind pressure from his running knocking things over without him touching them, ‘although I’m moving so fast, the images around me aren’t blurred the way they would have been if I moved at such a speed before’ he noted as he mistakenly hit a wall with his shoulder. The concrete wall broke on contact with him while he felt like he had just hit a large, thin biscuit

‘Whoa... It may be possible for me to just jump down stairs with my body being so tough’ he thought as he stopped running, which kicked up a storm of wind pressure, he ran toward the left side of the building, the side closest to the skyscraper, running through walls, tables, tubs,… anything in the hotel he was in that would be in his path was crushed without him feeling any pain.
He ran through a window and fell from the 6th storey of the hotel, the fall… was slow, and it was as though the air was now a thick liquid instead of a gas as the fall felt slow and unthreatening.
Instead of landing in the compound of the hotel he landed in the compound of skyscraper because of his great forward momentum, the concrete floor cracked and crumbled, but his body had no wounds and he felt no pain.
‘This is awesome! I’m like Saitama… wait I haven’t even tried to punch anything. I’m getting ahead of myself here, I said I would find the students’ Jade thought as he got up, the broken concrete that had flown in to the air hadn’t landed, and he walked out of the little crater he made.
He entered the skyscraper and shouted at the top of his voice “KIIIIIIIIIIIIIDS!” the shout breaking all the windows and cracking the concrete as the whole building vibrated “Sorry” he whispered as he hadn’t expected the shout to have such an effect.
Then something shocking happened, he heard the echo of his sound in such high detail he could guess where most things were, as it was his first time experiencing it he didn’t interpret the information well and couldn’t trust it.
He zoomed through the building, checking every room, at the end of his search, he had gotten back to the entrance of the building where he started, he didn’t see the children and could not distinguish their scent from the different scents of the undead as both of them had entered and left the building.
He walked to the park of the building; he saw the tire tracks of the bus and the pieces of his destroyed bike. ‘They left. Does that mean they didn’t evolve? Or their evolution took less time than mine, I don’t know. They destroyed my bike, well I guess our deal had been closed, they owe me nothing. But did they have to do this? I didn’t do anything bad to them’ Jade thought.

Jade thought ‘I’ve suddenly gained so much power, IP who made you?’ the IP responded ‘You have no access to such information’. Jade asked again 'Where are you?' the IP responded 'I am a part of your mind'. Jade thought 'I guess that's the best I'll be getting out of it'.
Then he suddenly felt uncovered he focused his vision on his clothes, finding them ragged. ‘*sigh* obviously, if I keep doing super human feats my clothes won’t be able to handle it, I need to learn control, but first let me test out a punch’ he thought as he pulled his hand back and swiftly punched at the ground.
His hand sunk into the concrete like a hot knife through… something that a hot knife can easily cut into; his hands went shoulder deep into the concreted as the wind pressure from the movement dispersed the surrounding concrete.
‘Everything I do has wind pressure’ he thought in pride ‘I guess not causing wind pressure with ones movements must the prerequisite to not killing people by interacting with them’.
He watched in impatience as the debris from his punch slowly fell down, thinking ‘How am I to live in a world where everything is so slow? Flash I feel your pain’.
An observation he had delayed thinking about came to mind and he thought ‘What happened to the lights? Did the monsters finally attack the power stations or was there a fault somewhere… it’s pointless to keep asking these questions, if I keep moving I’ll find the answers, but first I need to test out this energy thing’
Jade felt a cluster of energy within him, he drew on the energy, which felt very natural to him, like a new limb. As he drew the energy out of its storage, the nature of the energy spontaneously changed, he wondered what the cause was ‘The energy I brought out has changed into potential energy, but some of it is still unchanged.’ Jade probed further and discovered the reason ‘It is the energy that has been converted, it doesn’t convert the pure energy around it…
It makes sense that the energy that has been converted doesn’t convert the pure energy also as that would turn all the energy in my storage into potential energy in a chain reaction’
Jade then directed the energy to flow through his whole body, he felt time further slow and his senses sharpen as he became able to hear and see the flow of air that had been unnoticeable to him before, frequencies of light and sound that he was only able to vaguely sense became apparent along with the smells he had been unable to sense like insect pheromones and the air had a taste on his tongue.
He moved about a bit each movement creating wind pressure, ruining his clothes further under his hardened skin that had turned total black under the influence of the energy. As he relished the state of even higher power, his body began to heat up, that’s when he knew it was time to stop as his blood pressure was increasing drastically.
He dispersed the energy from his body as it could no longer return to the store after being converted. The energy left him with an explosive pop as the air around him had receive a high amount of kinetic energy, which made the road under him crack.
‘That was dangerous; if I kept going would I have died? I don’t know if this new body survives under extreme temperatures. Let me try again but I’ll only send the energy to my arm’ Jade thought as he refocused the energy into his right hand, he waited for a while noting that the temperature of his arm had increased but not as drastically as before.
‘Let test the strength difference’ Jade thought as he punched the ground again, only this time the ground exploded before his hand got there, his fist was too fast and had reached the ground before he could register it, he hurriedly dispersed the energy into the ground his hand had dug into. A small earthquake occurred as a result of the kinetic energy that the ground had just suddenly possessed. ‘CRAZY!! This is like one for all’

Shieldmaiden: Unbroken
An instant is all that's needed to change a persons life. A single encounter. A single desire can bring together many people to change the world. One thought. From the moment humanity began its course of self-destruction, there were those who desired to change the world for the better. To stop the harm to their planet, and themselves, a group of people came together and formed a world from their imaginations.

They would pull the people from their world in groups, and until everyone was gone, every month more people would be brought to this new world. An unfamiliar world. An unfamiliar people. An unfamiliar system. I never expected to write a LITRPG, or an Isekai, and I'm not confident I can do it well, but I liked writing the first chapters, so I'm gonna try my best! Also, I don't recommend reading it on mobile.
