《The power of an author》Surviving in the wastelands! - chapter 4
Advertisement
I was teleported in the middle of a deserted place!
[ ... ] ( Hiro )
So it was true! I am in another world!!
I was teleported into another world together with my classmates.
...
But I was disposed of in the wastelands!
Why did this happen?
Did I do something bad and now Karma is getting me back?
No!
I clenched my fist with all of my strength.
It's real! I'm not dreaming! I can feel pain in my hands from the grip!
I want to go home! I don't want to be here!
I started walking around.
There was nothing I could see in the distance!
Only Sand!... Sand...more sand....even more sand!!
Everywhere I looked, there was sand!
Will I survive? Am I going to die from starvation?!
Is this the end for me?
How did this happen?
I was in my classroom, sleeping while listening to my friends who were having fun and then...?
Where is everybody?
It's becoming hot!
I'm also getting thirsty!
How long have I been walking?
I need help!
My thoughts kept wandering around my head as I desperately kept walking, trying to find something!
I didn't care what it was, I wanted something I could eat or drink!
Can humans survive by eating sand?
Maybe if I try it, I can eat it!
I picked up some sand on my hand.
It was really hot! My hand was burning from the high temperature of the sand!
But I didn't care! I wanted to eat it!
[ Pffttttt ] ( Hiro )
I spat it out the moment it touched my tongue!
It was disgusting, super salty, and gross!
It was impossible to eat, and now my tongue was burnt from the hot sand!
What was I thinking?!
Why did I try to eat sand?

Sand can actually harm humans if they swallow it!
But what should I do?
I don't know how long I have been walking!
It must have been around two hours.
I don't know if time here is the same as on earth.
The sun was at the top of my head and its light was coming straight down in my body!
My body was burning from the sun's light!
I didn't know how long I was going to survive here,
There was nothing I could use here!
Even if I try to sit down and rest, I couldn't!
My body would get burned from the sand!
I already have lost my senses on my feet!
Even though I was walking, I couldn't feel them anymore!
I couldn't even take a rest because my feet would get sucked in the sand!
I hated this!
I wanted to survive!!
But what came later were things that I regretted saying earlier about the hot weather!
The weather in this place was unstable!
During the night, it became really cold!
I still didn't stop walking because I knew that my body would freeze to death!
I had to keep my body moving so I would warm up somehow!
Even though I was getting sleepy, I didn't stop!
I kept walking without resting!
For how long will this go on?
Am I going to die anytime soon?
No! I'm scared!
I'm lonely!
No one is near me!
I was abandoned! Disposed!
No one wanted me!
It hurts! My whole body hurts!
I'm hungry! Thirsty!
I want to sleep! I want to lie down and take a rest just for a bit!
Just for a bit is fine right?!
I can just lie down!!
Maybe if I sleep here, I will wake up in my room where I write my novels!

That's right, this is a dream, my actual body has fainted from overworking myself on my novels!
As I was about to lie down, I slapped myself really hard!
*Slap!*
What was I thinking!?
I will die if I lie down now!!
I can't let that happen!!?
I don't want to die!!
My whole body hurts!
My eyes, legs, arms, my back!!
It hurts!!
...
That's right, I have read a lot of stories where the main character gets transported into another world!
What would the main character do in this kind of situation?
He gets transported to another world as a hero, defeats his enemies, and enjoys his peaceful life with everyone!
There was no way for the hero to be treated like this!
But for me?
It was different!
They got rid of me! They didn't need me!
There is no way for someone to survive in this kind of situation!
Is my only option to die in this place?
Won't I be able to go back home?
My dream was to become a popular author!
But no matter how many times I wrote something, it was never getting enough attention!
Was it because I lack talent?
I don't know...
Is this happening to me because I tried too hard?
I don't know...
I don't know anything!
As I kept walking without a destination, I noticed the sun which was rising on the horizon!
It wasn't anything special or beautiful...
It just felt empty for a place like this!
I walked in that direction while holding my stomach from the pain.
I felt something bumping on my feet as I was trying to walk.
I looked down...
It was a human skeleton...
I wasn't scared...
Was this guy disposed of just like me?
It seems like he didn't make it...
I hope he didn't have a painful death...
...
The sun was out once again!
It was the second day ever since I was disposed of in this place!
I don't know how long I have been walking but there was one thing I knew...
I had to survive no matter what!
I didn't want to die in a place like this!
If I had the chance to choose how I die... I'd choose in a cool way!
But this... is just painful!
I still had hopes that at any moment I would find something or at least someone that would help me.
But the more time passed, the more I started realizing that no one was going to help me, nor will I find anything to survive!
This was the wastelands!

Mother of Learning
Zorian is a teenage mage of humble birth and slightly above-average skill, attending his third year of education at Cyoria's magical academy. He is a driven and irritable young man, consumed by a desire to ensure his own future and free himself of the influence of his family, whom he resents for favoring his brothers over him. Consequently, he has no time for pointless distractions or paying attention to other people's problems. As it happens, time is something he is about to get plenty of. On the eve of the Cyoria's annual summer festival, he is killed and brought back to the beginning of the month, just before he was about to take a train to Cyoria. Suddenly trapped in a time loop with no clear end or exit, Zorian will have to look both within and without to unravel the mystery before him. And he does have to unravel it, for the time loop hadn't been made for his sake and dangers lurk everywhere... Repetition is the mother of learning, but Zorian will have to first make sure he survives to try again - in a world of magic, even a time traveler isn't safe from those who wish him ill. ********************************** If anyone is interested, I have a story-related worldbuilding site that can be found here. I don't update it as often as I should, but there is a fair amount of content there already. It also contains a page with all the fanart, fan translations, audio books and the like - you can reach it directly by clicking this link. I have a patreon account for those kind people that want to give me money. It also contains info for those who want to donate via paypal. The story was originally posted on fictionpress, back in 2011. When I reached chapter 91, I started uploading the story to RoyalRoad, one chapter per day. The story will continue to be updated on fictionpress as well as here, and can be reached by clicking on this link if somebody is interested, though at this point there is nothing there that isn't also on RoyalRoad. ********************************** The cover you see on the side has been made by a fellow RoyalRoad user Sydorow. Thank you for your time and art skills.
