《How I Became A Jarl》3. In The Storm
Advertisement
Happy with my second journey to the ship I came back with two clay jugs. I immediately opened one of them. It was wine! And a strong one at that. The scent was very intense. With two sips I already felt drunk… and I’ve got the whole jug left! Probably all jugs on the ship have some alcohol in them! I took a few more sips and… I fell asleep? I think?
When I woke up I was so hungry. Also, there was my puke in the helmet… I’ll clean that later… I got tired of eating berries all day. There was a rabbit on this island… maybe there are more of them?
I was hiding in the bush somewhere in the middle of the forest near the berries. After a while, the rabbit arrived. Once it was close to me I jumped on it and stroked my sword. I wasn’t even close to hitting the rabbit. When it started to run I threw my sword but I missed…
How fast were people in the past, that they hunted rabbits like that every day! Or were they good at throwing?
Wait…
THEY HAD BOWS AND I DON'T! No… they also used traps… To think that they don’t teach kids something useful like that in school. I dug a small hole with my ax. Deep enough to not let the rabbit escape. I placed some sticks and covered them with leaves. I placed some barriers on it to attract rabbits.
I fell asleep while waiting but squeaks woke me up. There he was! In the hole! My dinner! I took the rabbit and set the trap again to have something tasty for the next day.
The storm appeared in the middle of the night. I was too scared that something would happen to my shed so I didn’t sleep. There was something on the water. On the horizon, I saw yellow dots… Were those a light? It was my chance to be spotted by people. Using my last few percent of battery I gave signals with the phone's flashlight.

When I was on the beach I stopped because I saw someone near the water. He was lying there, unconscious. Once I was close to him I saw that he had chains on his legs. Is he a prisoner? No… He also had grey torn robes. By the look of it, he's probably from Asia.
I took him to my shed. He was breathing but he was unconscious. I lit a fire and tried to keep it small to not burn my shed… I didn't sleep much that night… In the morning I ate berries. The only thing I drank so far was water and wine… It would be hard to do a coffee without coffee beans. But what do I need to make tea?
Well… I just went into the first and took all the herbs that I saw and started experimenting. I didn’t have any cups and it was hard to do one with wood so I made a bowl. I tried every herb and one of them tested closest to the tea that I know… but it was still far from perfection.
*COUGH* *COUGH* *COUGH*
I went inside to see how that guy was doing. He looked pale and… scared? I don’t know why someone would be scared of their Savior. He started to scream in some weird language. It didn’t sound like any Asian language…
I showed him my empty hands and said “Calm down, calm down… Do you speak English?”
Guy froze in place. He didn’t look scared now. But he definitely was confused. I slowly took off my helmet and asked “Do you understand me?”
“You’re from the earth!” He immediately replied.
“From where else could I be? From mars?”
“No… I mean like another world.”
“You hit your head or something in that storm?”
“I didn’t…”
“So what do you mean by another world…”

Interface
Welcome to the World-City of Thousel, the sixth iteration of life on the planet. These are the recordings of the people of Thousel. Thousel is believed to be the second longest iteration of life, and the overall most prosperous compared to what we know about the past five iterations. Medicine and technology have all progressed abundantly, and the world itself has been turned into one great city, governed and managed by the Governmental-Company Alliance, or the GCA.These particular recordings concern the discovery of a peculiar machine. When two very different people find themselves bound by the fate of one mysterious bot, life in the World-City begins to change… Interface is a cyberpunk webnovel set in an ecumenopolis world where people evolved with electro-sensory abilities. These senses shape the face of modern technology and life in a world where the three largest corporations run what has effectively become the government. Each of these three companies control various aspects of life in the city, and they all constantly vie for domain and power over one another.The world stands at the precipice of biological, technological, and historical breakthrough. After decades of study into microbiology, archaeology, and geology, it has been discovered that sentient life has lived on the planet multiple times over. These past peoples are referred to as the “prior iterations of life,” and it is believed that five great civilizations were constructed before the rise of the modern world. No one can be sure for certain what caused these peoples’ extinction long ago, and the theories range from simply dying off over time to massive tectonic fractures in the face of the planet. Advanced technology, far more complicated than anything the people possess today, has been uncovered in multiple locations. This has lead scholars to speculate on exactly how long each iteration of life survived and how far they progressed as a society. None of the companies have been able to find a way to make this ancient technology work for their own profit. It is as though they are each missing the final key needed to unlock these centuries old secrets. What could this knowledge reveal about the nature of life across every iteration? What power could it give to the one who wields it?Far from the investigation into the origin of life, two kids unlock a new mystery – one that ties their fates to the discovery of an old, mysterious robot. Suddenly, eyes begin to turn towards them as life in the city of Thousel changes wherever they go…
