《Battlefield NYC (LitRPG Apocalypse)》Chapter 38: Another Sane Man

He returned his attention back to the hospital. They needed to find supplies for Sophie.
"How do we clear these rooms?" he asked aloud as he stepped through the open doorway.
Jacob followed him immediately, while Sophie lingered in the entranceway. She seemed reluctant to enter, like she wanted to make sure no one else would come in from the other side, so Lance stopped next to her and tried to think of a way he could help without endangering himself any further than he already had.
As before, the two men went into the first room on the left and quickly cleared it of any monsters who might have survived there.
There was a dead one lying on the ground, a grey lump of flesh around the size of a child.
"Do you know what kind of monster this is?" Lance asked aloud still wondering if they were dealing with more than just humans like them—maybe even people who'd had their abilities removed.
Sophie shook her head; she didn't seem too familiar with this particular type of monster: "I don't recognize it." Then she shrugged. "It looks like something that came out of a video game though—like it's some sort of mutant or genetic experiment gone wrong."
"Oh my God," Grace said upon seeing the corpse. "Was that a kid?"
Both Sophie and Jacob turned towards her at once, clearly confused by his reaction. Before anyone else could say anything, however, the door behind him opened up and someone else entered the building, which drew all three of them' attention immediately. It wasn't immediately hostile; in fact, he seemed to be holding a gun in his hand, but he was looking directly back down the hallway and hadn't yet seen the group of survivors.

the guy was thinking.
Hm. Lance hadn't even consciously activated [Mindread].
He used [Assess] on the man, and...
[Ray Adams, Lv. 2 Human]
Ah. Had he just been hiding the whole time?
Jacob was already approaching from Lance's left with his fists at the ready while Sophie went around the other side of Ray—who had stopped dead when they had appeared—and started searching through the drawers on one of the beds. Grace came into view as well: she'd found a rifle like the one Lance was using--though she held it awkwardly with both hands—and was slowly turning it over in her fingers like she couldn't believe it was real.
"Oh my God, please tell me you're not one of the monsters," Ray said, finally noticing them. He held the pistol up, but his grip was shaky.
Sophie raised her weapon to point towards him before saying anything else. "What are you doing here?"
Ray flinched back, startled by how quickly the two girls could move, but he didn't raise his gun again. Instead, he lowered it to his side and turned away to hide behind himself so that he wasn't directly facing them anymore.
Lance nodded at Sophie and motioned for Jacob to step back too. Then he put his gun down and approached cautiously.

This book is written in Hungarian. Not in English. A történet a M.A.G.U.S. univerzumában játszódik. A könyv az V. Zászlóháború első két évének történéseit írja le egy dwoon hadvezér, Rosten Harneor szemszögéből. The cover picture is from Giorgi Vasari's (1511-1574) The battle of Marciano in Val di Chiana.

For as long as humanity can remember, Earth has been linked with another parallel world from a very distant place in the universe. Occasionally, spirits from the link will choose their heroes to be summoned to the Other Side. Once they step through the Gate that connects these two places, there's no going back. Cue Ernie Neswitt: a twelve-year-old boy who has lived a miserable life of being compared to his elder sister. He was always said to be worse, talentless, useless, and many other scornful things compared to his sister. Due to that trauma, he has formed an inferiority complex and usually has mental breakdowns. On a seemingly usual day, he has been granted status of a 'Chosen One' by the spirits of the Gate, allowing him to leave all his problems behind on Earth and start a new, fresh adventure in his new world. Being all too happy to step into this Other Side, he will soon learn about the importance of of the things he left behind on Earth, along with the secrets that are held in this new world and all the hardships he will face along the way.

Man believes in his dreams, his hopes, his prayers. But what if those very prayers led to his downfall? Humanity’s thirst for knowledge and greed for power has left it at the pinnacle of science. At least that’s what Smith believes. Working tirelessly on the ‘Spread Function’, he hopes to usher in a golden age for mankind and to reconnect with his wife and child, victims of his obsession with the Spread Function. The world is not what it once was. Altered forever by ‘The Reckoning’, the survivors of humanity struggle to live on, drifting as nomads or forming small communities, sustained only by their own blood and sweat. This is the world that Esterian is born into. After learning of his father’s death at the hands of one known only as the 'Shadow of Heaven', he vows vengeance. But there are other forces at work as well. The rulers of the land, beings of unimaginable power known only as the ‘Holy Ones’ would twist Esterian’s rage to serve their own perverted motives. So too would the band of rebels called Advaitha, shrouded in mystery, their seemingly noble motive of reclaiming the world for man hiding a much darker agenda.
