《The Land of the Unknown》Episode 3 (Part 3)

The two each took out the pink and orange berries from the branches and placed them into their respective backpacks, all while trying to stay balanced and not fall off.
The ground rumbled a bit, catching them off guard as they grabbed the most adjacent side of the tree. Maggie slipped and lost her balance, falling from the tree branch. She quickly grabbed the nearest sturdy berry and hung on from there as she saw her backpack fall off and plop to the ground.
“Hang on, Maggie!” Tommy and Antonio exclaimed.
“Wait, check my bag to see if it’s all right!”
“Why would we do that?” Tommy asked, his mouth gaping open.
“Well, did any of the fruit fall out or my stuff break?”
Tommy slowly moved over to the other side of the tree and tried getting Maggie up, while Antonio went to her backpack and checked its contents inside.
“Nope, doesn’t seem like it,” Antonio responded, closing the bag.
“But who cares about that right now?” Tommy complained.
“I care!” Maggie thundered. “I worked hard to get those!”
“But don’t you value your life more?”
“Well, yeah I do, but—”
“Maggie, look out behind you!” Antonio pointed, shaking uncontrollably.
Maggie turned her head as a purple dinosaur stood in front of her. It walked on four legs, had a long neck, and stared at the girl with its red eyes. Maggie could hear her heart pound as her palms grew sweaty from the rough grip of the branches.
“Hey, get away from her!” Tommy plucked out a red berry and threw it toward the dinosaur. The food just bounced on the dinosaur’s head like it was a ball ricocheting against a wall.
“Are you trying to kill it?” Antonio asked.

“What do you want me to do, then?”
“I got this.” Antonio took out a pink berry from the backpack. “Hey, you, eat this!” He exclaimed and threw it from a distance, hoping to lead the dinosaur away from the girl. However, it used its long neck to catch the fruit before it got too far.
“Nice going, you guys,” Maggie said sarcastically.
“Hey, we’re trying, at least!” Antonio retorted, stomping on the ground.
“Do you think you’ll be able to hold on and get up?” Tommy asked.
“I’m not sure...” Maggie admitted as sweat fell from her face.
Eventually, Maggie couldn’t hold on any longer. Just before the branch snapped, her grip slipped as she fell. Tommy tried to grab the strap as Antonio ran under to catch her. However, Maggie opened her eyes and found she stopped in the air. She had a hunch that something yanked her while falling and left her hovering in the air. She turned towards a dinosaur, which got a hold of her shirt with its teeth.
“H-Hey, let me go!” She cried out. The dinosaur slowly moved her over and placed her on its back, catching the group by surprise. “Uh, thanks.” The dinosaur nodded in reply.
“So wait, is it a friendly dinosaur?” Tommy pondered as he climbed his way back down the tree.
“It appears so...” Antonio replied, pulling his shirt collar and laughing nervously.
“Wow, what a magnificent, unusual giant creature this is...” Maggie chirped. “You must be a Thescelotitan.”
“How do you think she knows so much about dinosaurs?” Tommy leaned over and whispered to his friend.
“Like I’d know the answer to that. Why don’t you ask her?” Antonio whispered back.
“Hey, do you guys want a ride?” Maggie called out to them.

“Sure!” Tommy exclaimed, getting pumped up.
“No...” Antonio replied, taking a step back.
“Aw come on, it’ll save you some energy...” Maggie insisted.
“Does the dinosaur mind at all, though?” Antonio asked.
“Not at all.”
“Ugh, fine...”
Eventually, all three of them got up on the dinosaurs' back. It walked along, as the group did their best to hang on and enjoy the sights. Maggie and Tommy could find the area to be higher and larger than life than when they were on their regular walk.
“Hey, that reminds me, do you know where we can find some good water?” Maggie inquired.
The purple Thescelotitan nodded and walked into the predetermined path.

Project G00
|Nanopunk |Crafting | Detailed Science and experiments | Inner thoughts | Bio-Robots | Evolution | Infodumps | Tell not Show | Insane to Sane | Slow and Detailed Pace | Puddle to Unknown | Artificial Intelligence | Trans-humanism | Bad Jokes | Moving 'Dungeon' Core | Hi! I am G00. I am a project made by some weirdo. Some may refer to me as the wobbly thing in the fridge or the slimy thing in the ceiling. Others might tell you about that sticky thing inside your nose. In the end, they called me the Seed of Life, yet didn’t tell me what I was supposed to become. Furthermore, it just happens that this stage was the most miserable place to reincarnate... Reincarnate as in… What the hell did I become?! (Whispers) You are a puddle. A puddle? (Whispers) Yes. C’mon little guy, say your lines! You’re live right now! Welcome to puddle-springs aka the afterlife of a puddle. CUT! Eh? Why?! No edition or photoshop needed?! We’re short on puddle-staff. The camera is broken, I am broken, and you are broken. Wait! How can a puddle be broken? You are not a puddle, you are frozen yogurt. NOOOOOOOOOO! Additional summary: Spoiler: Spoiler Humanity has finally made the second step towards space. Many developments were taking place at the time this happened. All of them accomplished thanks to nanotechnology. Inventions regarding Artificial Intelligence and nanorobotics created the opportunity, a way to terraform planets by sending nanorobots to space. Their orders? Colonizing and preparing the new worlds before humanity's arrival, aka terraforming. Meet G00, a weird agglomeration of nanomachines. A bit stupid, but it's not because he was like that. The little guy... 'He' is really broken. The hardest start of a story is when language is oddly misunderstood, when you know nothing of the place you just arrived; when your companion is a buggy system, and when you have to repair yourself with whatever trash you can scavenge from your surroundings. All of this while you fight your worst enemy: potatoes? What will you do in an unfamiliar circumstance where nothing is what it seems and where you won't even understand the boring ramblings of a confused main character? Well, patience will... probably have a reward? Additional tags and disclaimers: Read before starting the story: Harem: Not included for the moment, depends on characters added, votes by readers, and things that happen on the go. Magic: Far away chapters maybe... as part of high level or non-understandable things by science. Slice of life: Probably some parts will include it. Disclaimer #1: Crazy amount of content about high-tech info-dumps, slow pace, starts with biology and nanotechnology. Might have some weird jokes and puns. Game bugs are also possible. Disclaimer #2: No puddles were harmed during the making of this story. No character is real, no real puddle was used as part of the cast. Character is stupid at the start on purpose but he will get beta and beta. All written content follows a logical approach no matter how stupid it appears to be, maybe… Because it’s just a raccoon splashing some cotton-candy over a puddle after it was thrown. Yup, a bully raccoon with rabies or so it seems.

Being Frank
**Author's Note** This was my 7th attempt at writing this story. I've worked on the story since 20 years ago but my writing style and skills haven't been satisfactory to me. So after working as a digital content manager for 2 years and after a very long deliberation I've decided to drop this 7th attempt and start on my 8th attempt. This 8th attempt will be the same story but starting from a different point in the timeline of my story. Thank you for your support on this 7th try, it is only due to your reviews and comments that I have the confidence to work hard on my 8th attempt. I started on my 8th attempt with the intention that my 8th attempt will be the final one as I'm a lot more confident and content with my where my writing skills are currently at. Volume 1 In a world filled with magic, war, giants and other awesome races lives Frank. Who being Frank is somewhat of a hermit. He loves to tinker with various contraptions trying to bend the laws of magic to his will. Through his successes he has garnered some attention; unwanted attention. If only that was all there was to it. .... war is coming Volume 2 Frank was born as a normal child, born in a normal family. His father was a scientist and was busy working most days. This is also why Frank was especially excited when his father decided to take an extended holiday to travel to Asia with his family. But their trip turns out to be one from which there is no going back. Writer's notice: I will continue to participate in the NaNoWriMo every November till I finish all that I have planned to write. I expect to have this story finished in 14 years approximately.Update:I was unhappy with how I had first written the first and second volume but am leaving the editing and finishing of those volumes till later and have started on the third one. The chronological order so far is 2-1-3. Might fix that too later.
