《The Aggresive Cheater》Chapter 03: Teleportation
Advertisement
“Delighted to meet you, Lestat, Axelle’s the name, Axelle Boudon. I will be one of your teachers.” grasping my hand. She had a mature aura around her, her glossy hair and her almond-shaped eyes gave her an almost frightening level of beauty.
"Can't tell you h-how pleased I am to meet you." She looked so interested in me, a random dude might misunderstanding this situation, a beauty holding your hand is a dream of any man but not for me.
My abundant experinence in the previous world tell me that this beauty rather than a maiden in love, she looked at me as if I am some kind of disposable lab rat to use as a research that bound to fail and end in tragedy. I terrified at the very thought. She even know my name, why?
‘She must be one of the mages from the summoning’ I thought to myself.
"What sort of magic do you teach, Professor Axelle?" I ask while tightened my grasp on her hand, as a couple would do. If someone saw this scene, they might trying to kill me on the spot because of jealousy.
"Light Magic" muttered Professor trying to let go of my hand but end up in failure as I put my whole strength to it. Her expression changed from that of excitement to something else, I don’t know what kind of expression is that, but I know it’s not a good thing.
"You'll be getting all your equipment you needed from the town nearby such as wand, I suppose you have yet to own it right? Here let me lend you one, you can return it to me later if you bought your own later. By the way, the research room is in the 7th floor.” She said in excited manner.
I know the moment I take the wand she gave me, something bad bound to happen later in my life, but it’s too late, it’s already in my hand.
As I trying to refuse, “I've g-got to pick up the books on the list then.” She flash me a smile, parted our hand and then go to the room behind the counter, I try to refuse and give it back to her but looked like she’s very experienced, pretending to find the books on the list so that I have no others route to choose except one that ended in a ‘world line’ where I’m fated to go to the research room, mature woman is indeed scary, she’s not even a bit flustered or embarassed while I held her hand unlike those virgin back in the earth.

‘But why a teacher stuck guarding the library? What a weird fellow’
Looking at the wand I receive, it came to me as surprise “What use is a wand if I can’t even use a magic? It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of my own ignorance.” I sigh inwardly and made my way looking for some books containing magic related stuff hoping to increase my knowledge about magic and learn some if possible, it would be troublesome if I don’t have any measure or way to defend my little and puny life.
This is not like my previous world, here strength is important and what keep you to stay alive, especially someone like me who got no someone backing unlike those son and daughter of noble.
“hmm, there’s so many interesting books.” I stop my sight at a book 10cm thick and placed it in a desk available nearby, looked like there’s not many people in the library, I can even count them with one hand, I wonder if they are not interested or to stupid to understand these books.
Focusing my thought back to the book on my hand, Teleportation Magic is what written on it, and as I open the book, a blue transparent window come into view.
Do you want to learn ‘Teleportation’?
>Yes
I tap it just like I used to do on my Apple's gold-coloured iPhone 5s, but nothing happen, did it fail. I check my [Magic] menu and there’s a teleportation written on it.
Teleportation - Transfer matter or energy from one point to another without traversing the physical space.
Activation: 1000 mana
Cooldown: 10s
“Seriously?” the sudden event made me flabbergasted
“I don’t think it would be so easy to learn magic.” Everyone including the headmaster would vomit a blood when they hear what Lestat said, afterall it’s need a year for a genius like Eva who specialize in teleportation magic to barely grasp the concept of such magic, not to mention master it to perfection because it’s one of the high grade magic.
“Well, this is undenieable proof that no matter which world, what time, or where I am, God always love me and love to see me happy.” I mused to myself while trying to open every books available in the library hoping to learn everything available.

After a long period of time, on my 231th magic I learn.
“Um, excuse me, can I sit here? A boy said as he stretch a chair next to mine ready to sit on it.
“Sure” I said while glancing at him. He is average guy with blond hair down to the shoulder, some of them tied behind his back.
He asked while putting a book in his hand“I saw you open those book and put them back countless time, is there nothing that caught your interest? ah, I'm Eric Barnier”
“Not at all, in fact all of them caught my interest, that is why Barn.”
“...”
There was silent for a moment and until I broke the silence by leaving the place heading to the counter ignoring the confused guy.
“You’ve been there for three hours, are you done?” ask Axelle as she put down teacup in her hand.
I looked toward the pile of books in the table “yeah I’am done here, is that my books?”
“Of course it’s not your book, you have to return them at the end of semester.”
“Despite how amazing this place looked like, is the academy actually that poor?”
“Don’t you know the value of this book?!”
“No” I said with my usual poker face.
“Every single of them is precious treasure, the stock is limited as the author only write few of them, ordinarily only nobles could get their hand on books, not to mention the certain book in this library contain many rare books.” She replied a bit annoyed and proud when she talk about the rarity of the book in the library.
I laughed while writing something on a paper left behind by Eva “Then you better show me those rare book later on”
“What are you doing?”
“I’m writing a book.” I replied
“Really?! Are you a writer?” her eyes sparkling with excitement at my answer.
“Yeah, more or less”
“What is the title?”
“Don Quijote” I said. This is different world so there’s no one know that such a book is already exist, think how much profit one would rake, how much fame one would obtain?, with infinite amount of knowledge possesed from another world, I would be known as a legendary figure in this world, or so I thought, but reality is not so easy.
“Is it done? How far have you got?
“Yeah, I have got the title done.”
“...”
“Now that I’m done here, I will take these books, see you later Axelle”
I take the books in the list from the table and leave the library without waiting for her response, leaving her behind with half closed eyes and weird expression hanging on her beautiful face as if she has just heard the most ridiculous thing in her live. She then move her eyes to the paper with ‘Don Quijote’ written on it, then some familiar feeling welled up inside her “Don Quijote, where did I heard this name before?”
Outside the library “I can barely remember the content on ‘Don Quijote’, this can’t be right considering my over the top IQ that surpassed even common sense, something is not right ... It’s a shame but I guess I have no talent as an writer.” I sigh to myself.
Unknown to Lestat that it’s not because he can’t remember the content of ‘Don Quijote’, but he really did starting to forget it, not just the book content, but also various thing that he done, event that took place back in the earth. Those both trivial and important knowledge keep dissappearing from his mind as if those are forbidden things to remember and thus not allowed to exist by this world.
“Ah, I forget to return this reed pen to the library, hm whatever, might be useful to write something later in the class.” I put the reed like pen to the [Inventory] while humming a cheery tune.
“Well then, what should I do with the red dot on my map?”

8 125A Nation of Distances (possibly a dystopian love story)
Michael lives in a toxic macho world with extreme male hierarchy. When he gets a weird rating that makes his place even more problematic he's forced to choose a fiancée at a Wife School, and he slowly discovers more about the other side of the great divide between the sexes in The Nation. If only the world would stop being so complicated... On the other side there's Megan, who's more interested in books than in marriage, and the unpredictable Eliza who seems to have a connection with Micheal already. Will they be able to cross the distance and become friends against all the rules of their own world, or will they just be crushed? Are positive relationships between men and women even possible? And is there a way to change the world or is that just a naive thought of a silly wimp? 'A Nation of Distances' is a slightly dystopian dialogue-heavy drama set in a low sci-fi future setting about the war between the sexes, disconnect and friendship. The genre will fluctuate in between more slice-of-life parts and soft sci-fi drama with possible romantic elements, with alternating lead and switching perspectives once more of the main characters are established. Content Warning: Certain concepts and scenes might be disturbing and/or triggering to some, even though the story itself won't be extremely heavy most of the time. Sexism as a double-edged sword destructive to both sexes is an important part of the story, but so is friendship.Note that all descriptions of persons and places are purely fictional and made up by the writer, and any resemblance with anything in the real world is a coincidence, since the real world is not supposed to be dystopian anyway!

8 96The Epiphany Colony
Brad Asher has been a private detective on the Epiphany Colony orbiting Mars for about a year before stumbling into a conspiracy that threatens the safety and stability of the colony. Note that the story here is the first draft and has a lot of ideas, characters, and plotlines that I ended up dropping in the final version that I released here currently available on Kindle Unlimited. The entire second half was restructured, as I ended up not being satisfied with some of the things that I introduced and felt like it had strayed too far from my initial vision of a space-based detective noir story.
