《Ned (The weakest species)》Chapter 1 : Time skip
Advertisement
Year 5150,
I was asleep for two hours.
My instinct tells me that I need to wake up.
I immediately open my eyes and look above my head. I see a raindrop falling toward me.
If it is the same logic on earth. When the raindrops start to fall down, it will start to rain. When that happens, we should cover our head using our hands or, if you have an umbrella, use it to avoid getting wet.
But, that logic doesn’t apply on this planet. The raindrop that's falling toward my head, its size was about as the large as mansion.
Just before the raindrop hit me.
Slash!!
I swiftly drew my sword from my scabbard and cut the raindrop in two. I could have easily evaded it if I wanted to, since I move faster than the speed of sound. But I chosen not to, since the raindrops kept bothering me while I was sleeping and It really pissed me off.
Yawn!
“Ahhhh! I want to sleep more,” I yelled. Then I sheathed my sword.
Suddenly I realize, even my survival instinct is different from before. My mood suddenly lifts up and I can't contain myself.
A glance at my surroundings brings me back to the present.
Sigh! The habitat here is horrible. I can't see any living creatures, even the plants are all dead.
The environment is full of fog and smoke and it's very, very cold, but I can still see my surroundings since the two moons in the sky give this planet some light.
When I was still on Earth, the personnel gave me some information about this planet. If I remembered, this planet is called Joseph101. The distance from Earth is approximately 250 million kilometers. I arrived here 2 hours ago.

I'm really fast. I can reach a quarter of the speed of light. Because of the urgency of my mission I rushed to arrive here, which exhausted my body and mind. That's the reason I immediately went to sleep, in order to rest and recover my depleted mana and energy.
I could have traveled here without wasting energy and mana, but it would have taken many days using a capsule or spaceship.
If I used those methods, I would have been too late. Even if I arrived just a little bit late, all of the humans living on this planet would have been killed and this place would benothing but ruins, since the dragons will arrive here soon.
Even though this place is horrible, there are still many people who live here. The human population here is approximately 100 thousand, unlike Earth right now, which has around 5 billion people.
Our population decreased by a third of its original number because of the invasion of monsters, dragons, and other lifeforms.
I raise my right arm and look at my watch, there are 2 buttons on the left and right side. I click the right button and a second later a projection(11) of city appears above my watch. It’s 1500k ahead. Hence, I just walk straight from here.
I continued walking while dodging those raindrops. Even though I'm walking, I'm still faster than the speed of sound.
Fifteen minutes pass and now, from where I'm standing, I can see a tremendous mana barrier surrounding the city five kilometers away.
Then I cast a small amount of mana on my feet and mouth before I murmur "accelerate."
I instantly arrive outside the city.
It feels like I blinked because I'm so fast.

The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.

PS. Futanari incoming, do not worry not gonna make it sex novel or erotic, maybe some scenes, but that will come later in the novel or maybe not at all, but to be sure I checked the Sexual Content too.
