You Aren't My First Date
In the year 2264, August 6th, sometime after midnight ...
On their first date, Mary and Dwayne chit-chatted as the only two patrons at a 24-hour hovering retro diner.
"You know, Dwayne, I don't get it. You haven't asked me about myself or where I'm from. You just swiped accept on the app, agreed to meet up so late, and here I am talking about how awfully salty my hamburger tastes ..."
"Oh, I know, but I have a good vibe about you." He winked.
Mary smiled. "Well, I mean, you aren't even asking, but ... I'm not really from around here. You know?" She stared up at the ceiling.
"I'm well aware ..."
"How? I mean, I must look like the rest of the girls you date. What I mean is ..."
"No, no, I know exactly what you mean." Dwayne took a pen-shaped probe out of his coat pocket, jabbed her right hand with it, then clicked a button, paralyzing her body from the neck down.
"What have you done to me, Dwayne? Are you crazy?"
"The name's Agent Dwayne Smith of United Earth Bureau of Investigations, Planetary Defense Division. My job is to hunt down your kind. You're my assignment. I'm confident I know who you are as you refused to order a soda or French fries ..."
"French, what ...?"
"Exactly. We've figured out that your species is freshwater-scarce and likely adverse to sodium, and we know why you're here."
"What are you talking about, Dwayne?"
"We can detect the slightest alteration of our ocean levels. At first, we monitored an influx of ecologically destructive brine. Almost always, a species like yours will try to steal our potential freshwater supply through desalination to your homeworld. As we suspected, we discovered your micro-wormholes siphoning and processing our seawater."

"But how did you ... I mean ... that's insane. Dwayne, let me go!"
"How did I follow you? When you crossed through a mesh of portals, I traced your molecular signature after your materialization."
"I'll be in so much trouble if they find out." She cried. "Please, Dwayne, I beg of you. Let me go!"
"Fine, Mary, I'll send you back. But tell your people we'll have coordinates on your homeworld once you've returned. Those self-replicating nanites I injected into your bloodstream, they're quite contagious. Stun is only one of their more passive functions. We've instructed them to transform themselves into something hideous if any of your kind ever makes uninvited contact with our world again, Princess ..."
"Oh, you know of my royalty?"
"A fair guess ... Mary. It rarely fails. There's often a rebellious alien teenager, spouse, or relative from a top-level hierarchy who wants to meet a human or visit Earth for a once in a lifetime off-world adventure. You aren't my first date ..."

The Trespasser
Synopsis Following his di—instincts, David finds himself in a weird situation; the next thing he knows, he's in a different world, dying, and manhandled by a big-ass alien. When the Source comes to his aid, granting him the access that—like every other sapient—he's due, David barely manages to get out of the fight with his life intact, but is that enough? Of course it isn't. The very Source giving him powers is also poisoning him to death. Oh, there she is, the petite female alien. Will that be enough to save him? Of course it won't. If he wants to be saved, he has first to save himself. The only way to do so is by getting to know the world around him, but even before that... Why the bloody hell did I have to be called Deviant!? *** Blurb? Blurb. The Trespasser starts slowly, I believe I've written a decent world, and I want you to find out what it's all about, won't just throw it in your face because of *levels*. I do not like stories that don't make sense. David is not a murderhobo, he respects life and answers to the world and the weird situations thrown at him with irony and sarcasm; so you are looking for easy killing streaks, you will not find them here. So, a man finds himself into the wild? It's a different world, and yet he can breathe its air? Finds himself in a lucky-low-level zone? Oh, look at that, people speak English—how likely is that? So, nope, not for me, gentleman. You won't find anything of the likes here. Again, a man finds himself in a new world but only thinks about the system? Yeah, that's not exactly how it works. David will try to find out what it's really all about, what the aliens want, how they work, why is that Fay really helping him? You can kill somebody to get levels, and yet there is not even a form of police? Not gonna happen here. Man becomes suddenly overpowered in a world where people can live for thousands of years by having enough luck to face only lower-level people? Hahaha—nope. Lastly...Spaceships and fantasy with LitRPG... say what!? Well, what's wrong with that? Let's make it happen, shall we? *** You want even more info? Really? Alright... David will start from the very bottom of the food chain, so there will be a settling arc—it's inevitable. David will find true companions, with personalities and backstories, and they will have a life of their own. There will be enemies, and those enemies will have a life of their own, too; there will be no evil just because. The world-building will have true depth; it will not exist just because the protagonist visits it. There will be both Fantasy and (Soft) Sci-fi—yeah, you heard that right. There will be rationality to every action taken, as long as the characters are aware of what is going on. There will be a godly system. You will come to read because of the world-building, but you will stay for the characters. The dead stay dead, and you will weep for them. There will be no action without a reaction. Lastly, there will be laughs. Are you still up for it? Then get in but fasten your seatbelts because it's going to be a wild ride. *** Release Days: Twice a week Release Time: ~09:00 PM UTC Words per chapter: ~3000 This web novel is also available on other platforms.
