Advertisement
[Screa Port City, Outer Land]
9 days have passed since the group have fought the bandits and thus the rotten corpses are starting to smell, luckily Kaido managed to get rid of the smell by circulating a barrier on them and freezing them them to preserve the corpses and get rid of the smell
For 9 days they've only passed one village and finally made it at the gate of Screa Port City
When they approached the gates, a city guard halts them at their tracks
"May I know what business your here for?" Asks the guard
"Oh! We're here for just travelling!" Said Rebecca
After that the guard looked inside and saw an elf and a guy sitting by the sides while a pile of bags contained in a frozen barrier inside the carrier
"Then what are those?" Asks the guard
"Yeah! The thing is... When we were on our way here we somehow encountered a group of bandits, we were planning to hand this over to you guys!" Said Rebecca
"Bandits?" Asks the guard
"Bandits" replied Rebecca
Hearing her the guard called out to another guard and told him to dislodge the dead corpses
After that the guard faces Rebecca
"We now have all the corpses, after we identify them we will give you your rewards but for now do you guys at least an ID or permit so that you can enter?" Asks the guard
"Yeah here! Look were Adventurer's" said Rebecca
Seeing her ID the guard let them come in but before they could pass him he said
"Be careful of those greedy nobles! Especially the elf! Those bastards don't have any shame at all and do what they want!" He whispered
"Don't worry we can handle ourselves!" Said Rebecca

**************
Hearing the guard Kaido smirked
"Seems like no matter what world you came from they are always greedy and corrupt rich people" he whispered
Melfina clearly heard Kaido but chose to kept silent
"By the way... What are you guys doing in the village?" Asks Kaido
"No need to worry kaido-sama they are training themselves to be a better fighter and be a better use to you!" Said Melfina
"Good! How about the spies?" He asks
"Those traders? It seems that they are still doing they're work diligently and now they expanded their side from few traders they have made other people with other occupation join they're group and follow your instructions" said Melfina
"I see!" Reacted Kaido
"Some of them started to call you boss by the way!" Added Melfina
"I see!" Reacted Kaido with a sweat trickling down his face
After few silence Melfina stated
"But the thing is kaido-sama there is one guy who seems to be plotting something behind you, and now he's procuring soldiers to protect himself from you while betraying your trust...." Said Melfina grimly and with anger in her tone
"That's what the other spies told me in they're own communication crystal after all they are a little bit suspicious of him" said Melfina
Hearing this Kaido smiled wide revealing his canine teeth to see
"Looks like I have to clean out the group again!" He said
"Where is he?" Asks Kaido
"The other merchant told me that he'll be arriving in Screa tomorrow" answered Melfina
"Alright I know what I'll be doing tomorrow! I'll show them the consequences on betraying me" said Kaido
****************
As they talked Rebecca found an inn for the and rented out three different rooms
After they settled down they met up downstairs and had their fill on lunch after all they've been on the road for at least ten days

After their fill they immediately heads out the inn and plans to explore the city
"We're planning to go to this city's adventurers guild" said Rebecca
But before they could head out a carrier stops infront of them and the door opened up
"Ugh! A noble in this rusted inn?" Reacted Rebecca
When the door opened a head that came from a lady poked out
"Rebecca? Is that you?" She asks
"Ugh! Lilith?" Replied Rebecca
Hearing Rebecca's reply the woman in her late teens bursted out of her carriage and hugs rebecca tightly
"Rebecca it's been so long! I missed you! Even if your not your house successor doesn't mean that you can just leave your home just like that!" Said the woman named Lilith
"What!? Wait? Me noble no way" said Rebecca with sweat trickling down her face
This time the Lilith looked up to her in puppy eyes and said
"You.... You don't remember me?.... I'm your best bud! How can you forget me?" Said the teary eyed Lilith
Seeing this Rebecca gave up.on pushing her away
"Fine! Fine! Do what you want!" Said Rebecca
After that she looked back and saw kaido and Melfina mumbling something
"So Rebecca-dono is a noble born.... I see" said Melfina
"No wonder her old room and the way she spent her seems like a rich kid! This explains a lot" said Kaido
"What explains a lot?" Thought Rebecca
But on the other hand Kaido thought of something really clever
"A noble i see.... Looks like I have to get this nobles trust and plant my roots in their society" he thought
As he straightened up Kaido walks towards them remembering some of the formal etiquette of his old world
"Greetings my lady!" Bowed Kaido
This time not only Melfina but also Rebecca stared at Kaido dumbfounded as if they're seeing a ghost
For them a formal Kaido is nowhere ordinary
"Ugh! Kaido? Formal? Impossible!" Thought Rebecca
"Kaido-sama?" Exclaimed Melfina
But for Lilith this caught her attention
"For a person, you don't dress like an commoner nor and adventurer especially noble but your manners are spot on! Tell me what do you want?" Asks Lilith
Hearing this Kaido smirked in his mind
"My lady! If you would allow me to form at least a little bit connection with you and I will assure you that my ways would greatly benefit you!" Said Kaido with a soft smile as if he's saying that he's a god sent pure hearted prince charming
"Hehehe! those acting role play as a noble from my world pays off" he thought to himself
"Oh my! Your quite bold!... But I like your guts" exclaimed Lilith
This time Melfina stated at Kaido as if she lost her master and for Rebecca she saw Kaido as an imposter
"Tell me! Tell me your name first and I'll decide" said Lilith
"Names Riruko Kaido my lady!"

The Adventures of Alan
What happens when a university professor somehow ends up in another world, where magic bends the laws of nature? Alan is, albeit unwillingly, about to find out. As a professor of physics, he has a decent understanding of how the world works, or so he likes to think. Armed only with his knowledge, Alan is thrown into a world very different from his own. In his new reality, he will meet both friends and foe, he will seek knowledge, he will build power, and perhaps he will even find love again? Follow Alan through his adventures, and find out for yourselves how he deals with the challenges thrown at him by a new world, while struggling with the issues brought with him from his old one. * Author’s note: A fair warning. This is the first time I’ve published anything, and basically the first time I’ve written anything more than mandatory school-stuff. The story will probably have inconsistencies, grammatical errors (not my native tongue, though that excuse is getting old), and potentially confusing (missing?) plot. I will naturally do my best to write something worth reading, but my main goal in writing this story is to have fun and explore the limits of my own creativity. My hope in publishing it here, is that I’ll reach someone who enjoy the story, and can push me forward towards writing more, as it is difficult at times to find the motivation to write just for myself. Additionally, I can’t really promise to have regular updates, as I have a full-time job that often likes to take the ‘full-time’ part literally, and a sporadic social life that occasionally surprises me (happy surprises mostly, so I shouldn’t complain). I’ll aim for once a week to start with, and take it from there. Happy reading! Cover photo by Jeff Hire (/photographer/gun4hire-58415), from https://freeimages.com/.

Contact First
2039 - Earth A narrow beam energy signal appeared aimed squarely at earth from the TRAPPIST system. The communication consisted of a layered set of repeating data over several thousand wavelengths. Over the next few months scientists discovered that the lower wavelengths carried an encoded numerical language which could then be used to interpret the more complicated messages carried on the higher wavelengths. After half a year of painstaking work the signal was fully decoded. It described a small satellite launched along a precise trajectory towards the fourth planet of our solar system. Included was a package of advanced research that humanity would need to have ready in order to receive the satellite and decelerate it safely. The alien data provided the kick that humanity needed to turn from petty squabbling and unite to explore the final frontier. Major government and corporate leaders worked together to create the framework for the United Federation of Sol. UFS spaceports went from scaffolding to daily launches in every major city around the globe. Ships floated like dandelion seeds, spreading on solar wind to grow into colonies. 2397 - Mars orbit, Egeria Station The command center was a hive of activity as checks were conducted and systems initialized. Scientists flitted by like mayflies as communicators beeped and holoscreens spat out green tinted readouts. Nervous energy was thick in the air as everyone anticipated the culmination of over three hundred years of work. Massive fusion reactors under the planet's surface thrummed with barely restrained power as energy fed into a gleaming metallic maze criss crossing the planet. Metal fingers reached up, overshadowing the mighty olympus mons and trying to grab the stars. All over the solar system, people quickly turned to look as gigantic energy lances shot from the dusty fourth planet. Two years later. The same people that clapped loudly at the successful activation of project Hermes now wait with baited breath. A silver capsule trailing bright photonic sails is captured by a net of grav beams and guided with care bordering on reverence into the station. Holoscreens across the headquarters project an image of the sleek craft settling in the bay. Data connections are established and the holoscreens blink to white. Slowly an image forms on the screen. Across the headquarters people stare in wonder as a wholly alien face stares back. "Contact established. Welcome to the universe."
