《Of Us and Void》Prologue v2.0 ~ ‘Weed Killer’

“Shit! Get down!”
“GET DOWN!”
Sergeant Powell screamed before pulling down with him a cadet to the ground as an enormous tree gracefully flew horizontally above his and his company’s heads. The speed at which it was thrown made Powell breathe deeply and quickly before shortening in frequency as he rapidly stood up and backhanded the fallen cadet who was attempting to sit up, forcing him back to the damp earth once more.
“WHEN I SAY TO DUCK, YOU FUCKING DUCK, YOU FUCKING DUCK.”
Raw fury taking over, Powell grabbed the stunned cadet by his head and made him face where he was now frantically pointing; across the make-shift fortification in which they had just taken shelter in were small-statured forest-green creatures and mobile amalgamations of flora.
“You see that? That, that is trying to kill you. Me? Well, I’m trying to keep our shits together so we survive, you got that? Huh? Listen next time, yeah!? YOU GOT THAT, YOU LITTLE SHIT?!”
The sergeant didn’t bother listening to the cadet’s sputtering word-vomit of excuses and tossed him back into the freshly-made concrete bunker like he would with a sack of manure into a composter - gently.
Picking up his favorite semi-auto that was dropped in due haste, Powell ignored the mud coating the rifle’s exterior, fired a shot into the ground to see if the interior was also affected by any of nature’s gunk, and, seeing a bullet lodged deep into the soft and loamy dirt, he grinned. It’s showtime.
“Alright boys, we’re clear to fire! Fire in the hole! HOO HA!”
Powell roared with delight as a barrage of bullets pelted the misshapen entities from nearly every angle. Snipers carefully hidden within the upper limbs of gigantic White Cedars rained down 7.62 mm hail, completely drowning out the screeches of their victims. Flashbangs further debilitated the peculiar creatures and plants alike in tandem with standard M16s from grounded infantry in ghillie suits. After putting down a dozen of the invaders with well-placed shots, Powell placed his emptied rifle down not before easily hefting a bazooka and aiming at the sole monstrosity left - the two-storied, tree-throwing, hash-slinging-slasher of a monstrosity: the treant.

But before he released the beast, Powell resolutely promised in his heart,
I don’t know where you fuckers come from but if any of you get close to my family or my men...
He pressed the trigger with absolute confidence and unwavering focus.
Die.

Project TheirWorld: Book Two - Tatterskin
**IMPORTANT: Because I am trying to reconcile some of the consistancy issues due to unexpected changes in how I've decided to write the story, this story is to be renamed/reordered. I apologize for any confusion or inconvenience. The Tutorial (completed, but unedited) is now to be concidered as Book One of Tatterskin. Tatterskin will contiune without real inturruption, though "Book Two" is really going to be the rest of the series with multiple volumes. Sorry guys! I've gone and brought the chaos of my real life into the storyverse T-T. ----- Dassah Graydon was just another human woman looking for adventure in her life when she moved to the academic floating continent, the Enclave. But while she wanted to escape her mundane reality, she quickly discovers that her life there – with the exception of all the crazy aliens and the unusual setting – was no different than her life on Earth had been. After spending a couple of months getting used to the place, she finally got the chance to play the popular new VRMMORPG, TheirWorld. As she is drawn deeper and deeper into the game, however, she begins to realize that her in-game life is far more connected to the happenings of reality than she could have imagined. Finding herself in the middle of a conspiracy that threatens her life and the lives of the people around her, Dassah must decide whether she allows herself to be a puppet, or she finds the determination to become the master of her own fate. This is a Project: TheirWorld story, and there is a prequel story, The Tutorial (completed, but unedited) but if I am doing my job, you won't need to have read that to enjoy this one. ____ The story will usually update once a week, sometime on Fridays JST. The updates on Royal Road L will be about 1 chapter behind my main WordPress site found here: Project: TheirWorld. This will change, as the WordPress site will have holiday releases and RRL will not. Thank you for reading, and the support! :) ____
