Chapter 2
------------------------------------
Adrian knew he was in trouble when he fell like that.
He had been brought up in a greenhouse environment, i.e. never allowed to get hurt or to try dangerous stuff.
He assumed that he at least broke his nose at best. He didn't even want to assume the worst.
Suddenly, his vision became completely white.
Adrian became shocked.
(...I never expected that such a fall would kill me. Was I weak to such an extent? I must exercise a lot in my next life...)
When he focused his mind, a bunch of text appeared in his vision,
Adrian tried to rub his eyes, but he couldn't somehow.
A thought occurred to him.
(...Is this a system? Out of these options, only the Tutorial looks safe. Who knows what trap is there in a Session or a Logout...)
Hence making up his mind, Adrian chose the Run Tutorial option.
The words vanished from his sight.
Then an old man wearing lab coat appeared in his vision. He was sporting a friendly smile on his face, but his spiky hair and perverse looking eyes looked seriously offensive to him.
The reason was, in his previous lifetime, he would often self insert himself into various doujinshi's while he read them & this guy in front of him was a major cause for his twisted personality.
His lovers were often stolen by him & he had vowed to punch this f*cker once if he ever could. Especially for the trauma of stealing his mom..
A bright light flashed and a suitcase containing three normal looking pokeballs appeared.
Adrian looked at the balls with fervor. He had an inkling about what those balls contained.
As if reading his mind, the system proceeded to explain,
Adrian realized that he appeared in a jungle. His body was now movable and three empty pokeballs were placed on his belt. His body and clothes were the same as he last remembered.

Also in the upper right corner of his vision, a countdown timer was running. The timer read while it kept on decreasing as the time went on.
Adrian knew he had to act fast. He ran in a direction, hoping to encounter some pokemon & capturing it.
A creature suddenly jumped on his back and started to mess with his hair.
After stumbling a bit, the creature jumped off his back, when he recognized this one.
A Mankey.
He couldn't tell whether this one was a male or female, he had no pokedex after all.
The timer already read , so Adrian made a decision and quickly took out one of the pokeballs and aimed at the Mankey.
As he threw the pokeball, it fell and dropped just in front of the Mankey.
Thinking of it as a game, the Mankey threw the pokeball back at him, which fell spectacularly on his face.
[It hurts.. The pain is so real. Can I also die in here?]
The Mankey jumped up and down, in hopes of continuing the game, while Adrian tried finding the pokeball he threw earlier.
He found the pokeball crumbled into pieces near his body.
(...such inferior quality...)
The timer read already.
Adrian quickly took out the next pokeball and aimed it at the jumping Mankey.
Luckily this time, the pokeball hit it's intended target and the Mankey became trapped inside the pokeball.
However, just 2 seconds later, the pokeball exploded & the Mankey reappeared.
The Mankey huffed in anger & immediately jumped on Adrian to attack.
What came later was a spectacular beat down, before he was saved by the countdown.
A voice appeared in his head, before his vision turned white again.
Adrian's last thoughts before succumbing to sleep were...
(...What shitty luck! Beaten up by a Mankey. How am I supposed to catch them like this?!...)

Quest of the Seal Bearers - Book 1: The Warriors Return
On the distant world of Mendala, a rash of mysterious attacks have left many towns destroyed, and there are rumors of an army of monsters. Fantasma, leader of the global government, and his colleagues are determined to find cause of these attacks. but the search for answers points them to an ancient relic, The Book of War, a cursed artifact that can create indestructible creatures loyal to its master. It’s been over twelve thousand years since the Book of War was last opened. It was believed to be destroyed during the Great War by the Twelve Warriors and Daughter of the Sun at the cost of their lives. Now, it seems the book has resurfaced, and its new master is seeking to forever tip the balance of power. The stage is being set for another Great War but who can stop the Book of War once and for all? Meanwhile on Earth, the teen members of Greengale’s Action and Adventure Club are preparing for their yearly trip when they suddenly stumble upon a secret their parents have been keeping for years. Now their world is being turned upside down as they struggle to understand the legacy that ties their fate to Mendala and the Book of War. Is their destiny set in stone, or will they forge a different path? No matter what, their choices will bring forth a new era for Mendala. ------------------------------ If you love vast fantasy worlds, rich, fleshed-out characters, and a adventure where your'e constantly discovering new things along the way, then this is definitely a story you'll enjoy. This is a slow-burn high fantasy / adventure with many characters and intersecting plotlines. It’s a quest so lots of adventuring, exploring, and character moments, but not a ton of fighting/action (though there are definitely some great fight scenes as payoff to the buildup). Because it’s a fantasy world with lots of people and new concepts, I try to make it easy so that you don’t have to memorize anything. The narrative will constantly remind you of important people/places/concepts as you keep moving forward. Some things won’t be fully explained right at the beginning to avoid information overload. My goal is that the reader will learn things organically as the story progresses. I use two mechanisms to help with the intersecting plotlines. - Each chapter is named for the (main) plotline it’s following and which part. - At the beginning of the chapter, and anytime there is a scene shift, the location is listed. Also, though this is definitely a portal-fantasy (isekai) it’s different from the standard isekai, especially since the world transfer doesn’t happen immediately. It’s not Lit-RPG but characters gain powers and grow over time. Also, it’s a group of teens that transfer, not just one central character. All of the teens are distinct characters, with their own character-arcs, relationships, powers, growth etc. Hopefully you’ll find this interesting as you’ll see the world and story from multiple perspectives. The story is always in 3rd Person (Omniscient) POV so that it’s not jarring as perspectives shift.
