《The Land of the Unknown》Episode 2 (Part 4)

Tommy, Antonio, and that girl from before landed on the ground safely as the portal above them closed up. The three got up, rubbed their heads, and dusted off before having a look around. Tommy didn't know where they were, as it didn’t seem like any other place he had been to or seen before.
The sky had a weird mix of yellow and orange with a red sun glowing. The dry and cracked ground where the three stood, while up ahead, there appeared to be green, wet terrain with jade green tree leaves and light brown trunks and stems. They couldn’t see much more beyond the green. The question was, where did they end up? And was there more to this place than they imagined?
“Where do you suppose we are exactly?” Tommy asked, his heart pounded around his ribcage.
“You’re asking me? I can’t give a solid answer...” Antonio replied. “I’m still processing what’s happening right now.”
The black-haired girl took out a video recorder from her red bag, for she didn’t seem to be as afraid as the other two. “All right, so this is the place, huh? Time for me to go exploring.”
The female went to head off in a different direction. Tommy placed his hand on her shoulder and made her stop in place.
“Hey, wait.”
The girl gave out an exasperated sigh and turned to him. “What now?”
“What were you thinking?” He questioned, throwing his arms in the air. “You trapped us in here, and you’re not even scared? You don’t even regret your actions?”
“Of course not. Why should I when this was all your fault?”
“What!? How so?”
“You pushed the button.”
“But you pushed me!”
“You were annoying!”

“Well, maybe you shouldn’t have broken in, huh?”
“I had business to do there, so I had no choice! If you had just let me be, you wouldn’t have—”
“Guys!” Antonio shouted, breaking their argument. "Will you stop—?"
Some loud booming noises snapped the trio out of their concentration. They turned around and found themselves face to face with a big gray dinosaur. It had sharp teeth, medium-sized arms, crooked legs, a big beak for a mouth, and multi-colored eyes. It had a form of the T-Rex, but something felt a bit off about the creature.
“Don’t move.” The black-haired girl muttered.
“Huh? What do you mean?” Tommy asked.
“That’s a Kritocephalorex. They may look scary, but they’re very noble-headed. Just hold your ground, ok?”
“Whoa, how do you know—?”
“Just do as I say or else, all right?”
Tommy and Antonio gulped as they continued to stare at the dinosaur, as it stared at them back. Their bodies froze in place, and their hearts pounded across their chests as they tried their best to not make a sound. After what felt like an eternity, eventually, the dinosaur walked away, prompting the group to collapse on the ground, breathing a sigh of relief.
“It left, finally...” Antonio said, wiping sweat from his forehead.
“But how is this possible?” Tommy asked. He stared at the horizon from a distance. “Why are there dinosaurs here?”
“Beats me, perhaps we’ve gone back in time?”
“Seriously, that’s your best guess?” The female rolled her eyes.
“Hey, I don’t see you helping.” Tommy sharply rebuked.
More noises got their attention, only this time, it came from the trees, as some bird-like dinosaurs that looked like pterodactyls flew away. Even the gray dinosaur from before ran past in the opposite direction from them.

The trio had no clue what was going on or what caused this until they turned around and noticed two big black legs pop out from the trees and slowly headed toward their direction.
Antonio observed the situation as he let out anxious laughter. He made a glance at the girl. “So, ma’am, what should we—?”
“Run, definitely run!” She replied quickly and ran in the opposite direction.
The two boys followed her lead, hearts pounding against their chests as they tried to catch their breath. But soon, the three tripped and slid down the hill. They looked up as some glowing purple eyes stared them down as the three tumbled to the ground below. After more roaring echoed around them, the group got up and bolted the hill base and ran straight into the forest-like terrain.

The Silver Mana - Book 1: Initiate
I used to be a healthy, young guy with a normal life - I had a career planned in professional soccer, a girlfriend, lots of hobbies, and loads of fun. Until the accident. Which changed my life. A few years later I had adjusted to my new reality, adjusted to being in a wheelchair, adjusted to having someone take care of me 24/7. And then the world changed. Old people and kids did not make it. And neither was I supposed to make it. But never count me out. If anything, I am tenacious. This new world was different. People could do magic. And there were monsters. And what about me? I had mana as well, silver mana. Which no one else seemed to have. The only problem was, I did not know what to do with it. Until I really needed to. Author's note: This is the rewrite of Silver Mana. The first bunch of chapters (until I will have caught up to level 2 of the dungeon) should be quite familiar to people that have read the original. There are some changes in content, but the story follows the original fairly closely for at least the first 150-200 pages. Most of the changes are in the writing, and some of the details of how things work. A few of the side characters get a bit more attention too. Some general comments to avoid disappointment: 1. The MC likes to swear. If you object to reading the word "fuck" at least once and usually multiple times each chapter don't read the book. "Fuck" is such a great, allencompassing word... fuck that; what the fuck?; fuck me! Fuck! one word, expressing so many nuances. And, frankly, the people I know that use fuck as a swear word.. they often use it a lot. 2. If you are looking for immediate progression, rapid advancement of the story, etc.... read another book. This one takes a bit. 3. I am NOT Pirateaba (who is writing The Wandering Inn) or anyone close to that level of productivity. If you expect to read 10k words every 3 days, or even just once a week... sorry. I've got a busy life. This is for fun, I have no patreon, paypal, anything, so I write when it is fun and however much is fun. Not more. And sometimes that turns out to be a decent amount, sometimes nothing. I have another book (Marrow) so that complicated things - basically I switch between the two whenever the muse strikes me.
