《Primordial Dimensions》Escape
Advertisement
Years passed without him knowing and only by chance, Shane found out that his mother had died while giving birth to him.
His father considered him to be a miracle sent from Heaven above.
The nurses had told his father that both his son and his wife had died.
Through something unknown, seen as a divine intervention, the former dead baby suddenly started to breathe once again, moments after the doctor determined its death.
With that in mind, Shane concluded that it was only possible because he had transmigrated into the baby's body, that his "father" could see his son "alive" and kicking, crying like he was stung by a bee.
His father seemed to love him dearly and Shane felt guilty deceiving him because he was not his father's biological son.
However, as years passed he found himself believing the fact that he was indeed his father's son, even though the love he obtained, in the beginning, was different than he could ever imagine.
Even If he continued to think differently, there was nothing he could change about his current situation, and several years passed until he finally made up his mind.
Growing up under his father's care, he noticed pretty early that even his father had his share of nasty flaws.
His father was barely at home and had an extremely bad temper.
Shane felt as if his father was almost completely emotionless towards him.
Furthermore, he decided everything about every aspect of his son's life. Thus Shane´s social interactions were limited to his father's friends, and the servants in the mansion he resided in.
He was imprisoned inside the mansion, and wasn't even allowed to leave the mansion without a servant tailing him., To make matters worse, he was forbidden to publicly name his father, and reveal his true identity..
As if that was not enough, the only humans Shane knew were the servants within the mansion, and his father's friends, who raised him more than his own father.
There were no friends or other people interacting with him on a daily basis

When he transmigrated to Igra, he was horrified to find out the perils of the world he had entered.
Even though Igra was approximately six times larger than earth, this couldn't protect him from the terrifying existence that eradicated cities and even countries
However, the worst that happened to him was when he was around eight years old.
One day, his father returned home with a few small green hideous-looking beasts that were tied together with ropes.
At this time, a premonition caused Shane to frown as he drew his tiny eyebrows together. His father wanted him to kill the small hideous, green-skinned beasts, called Goblins.
Pushing an alloy dagger into the hands of an 8-year-old child, his father stepped back and looked at Shane who trembled violently in fear, while he released a faint trace of mana.
Shane who couldn't feel his father's mana should have understood the harsh reality sooner rather than later but he refused his father´s order to kill the tied Goblins. At that time he recalled his past life where he would save helpless animals and not harm them and he saw the same helplessness reflected across the Goblins' faces.
But even if he wanted to, Shane was unable to lift the dagger that he held with an unsteady grip.
When he wouldn't obey, his father went ahead and severed the Goblins' legs.
He then tended their wounds, and stepped back, satisfied with himself.
However, his cold gaze lingered on his son, and the aloofness in them caused the eight-year-old boy to shiver in fright.
As Shane had lived for more than 20 years,if one was to include his previous life, he knew what his father wanted from him. Yet, he was was still disgusted with the thought of killing a living being.
The Goblins however were oblivious to Shane's hesitation. One of the goblins crawled towards him with blood-red eyes, not being able to resist its inherent need for bloodlust.
Looking into the bloodthirsty eyes, Shane knew that there was no hope left. The almost invisible ray of hope that he desperately clung to was worn out.

At that time, Shane only noticed his father's cold gaze fixated on him and he knew what needed to be done
Even though he loved animals, the thing in front of him could hardly be considered as one.
Holding the alloy dagger with a firm grip to prevent his shaking hands from dropping it accidentally, tears streamed down his cheeks as he forced himself to thrust the dagger into the already seriously injured Goblin's chest.
With the dagger piercing into the Goblins' flesh, its eyes widened involuntarily, as he felt it resist him, only to be cut by the razor-sharp blade.
The goblin's vision blurred and Shane was only able to perceive a painful shriek as blood flowed down the goblin's body, pouring on the smooth ground, painting his clean clothes with a deep red color.

It was the first time for him to kill a living being in both of his lives, and Shane cried helplessly after vomiting a few times until only gastric fluids were left behind.
To Shane's dismay, the first time was not the last one as his father considered his son's hesitation to be a weakness that could kill him in the future.
Over the next few years, Shane was taken to hundreds of different places that were infested with murderous beasts that would kill him without the slightest hesitation.
Shane was forced to kill all kinds of beasts due to which he grew numb to the mindless slaughter of living beings.
In the beginning, he was still disgusted but he slowly adapted to his father's mindset, and over time his thoughts changed and were almost aligned with that of his father
The main turning point in his life however came in the form of a beast break-out where the beasts brutally massacred innocent and hapless human beings.
After that unfortunate day, his attitude towards beasts changed by 180 degrees, and he couldn't see them as the same innocent animals that he had loved back on earth.
Life was cruel and harsh in the world he had transmigrated into, and only the strong could survive.
His father was strong and powerful, but Shane didn't like being someone's puppet even if that someone was John Stella, the president of the whole Stella-federation, governing mankind and Igra.
Shane´s family name was different than that of his father's surname only because he took his deceased mother's family name, which was the same one he had in his former life.
As such, his name was still Shane Suro, son of John Stella.
Some people might say that it was nice to have such a background in such a dangerous era filled with death, but Shane didn´t think so.
He was constantly being controlled by everyone and everything.
Freetime? What is that?
A free-will? Can I eat that?
He was forced to learn everything, from knowledge to weaponry, even lifestyle occupations, that left him with no free time. Even if he did get free time, who would he spend it with? The servants inside the manor?
Furthermore, he was expected to be able to lead people, fight monstrous existences, and become a killing machine in order to protect humanity from all kinds of threats.
It was only when Shane would reach the age of 16, that he would be able to enter the Primordial Dimension. At last, the long-awaited day finally arrived.
Not wanting to stay under his father's control, living a life he didn't even want, marrying someone he never met before, Shane's desire to live his own life ignited deep inside him.
Planning his escape for months he chose to be his own ruler!
He was his own king and not someone else's puppet!
Nobody should control him and force him to do something he didn't want to as the memory of him killing the first living being 8 years ago crossed his mind.
Now the day after his 16th birthday, Shane was standing in front of the Dimensional Portal, and he nervously stepped forward, entering the semi-translucent liquid which changed his whole life.

Beast
A threat to the galaxy has come from another, and the Union of intelligent life will go to any length to stop it. Military Quarantine has held for hundreds of thousands of cycles. Traders, merchants, colonists, and Pirates live risky lives along the fringes as the politics from the inner systems fail to see the larger threats beyond their borders. A lone human finds himself far from home with no memories to how he arrived. A failing Trade vessel plays on a desperate gamble, while a malicious parasite searches for a suitable host. ............................................. Author's note: Beast is a story that I wrote a long, long time ago. Some of you might have read it then, back when it was posted on reddit over at r/HFY. It was my first webfiction and made in the spirit of that subreddit's "genre" of humanity being awesome. But, it is also a story that has bothered me a little bit. Just like most new writers tend to do, I made mistakes and errors that feel painful to reread. A Space Opera will be a Space Opera, but I had prose that makes present-me cringe. Still, at the same time, the story is still very much a tale I've never given up on. It was my first adventure into fiction: Beast was a crazy adventure with bodysnatching aliens, galactic war, threats from across the universe... Posting this story here is a way to try and redeem myself a bit. I won't call it a complete rewrite, because it's not, but I have wanted to go through and correct some of the major issues Beast has for a long time and put it somewhere more accessible to read (instead of as posts/comments on reddit) and I figure that now is as good a time as any. Additional corrections you might notice are welcome.
