《The Start of a Unusual Life in an Alternate Reality(Soul-AR. You know like solar)》A touch of Despair
Advertisement
As i wake up, i realise i missed some notification last night and theres a new one this morning.
For gaining insight into the Force, you intelligence and wisdom have increased by 10.
For sleeping in a bed you own, you have gained the Well Rested Buff.
Well rested boosts your physical and mental aptitude for 4 hours and gives a 10% speed increase in skill gain for 6 hours.
Well thats cool. I might as well take a shower and get ready for the day.
So then i do just that and then finding a toothbrush still in its package in the medicine cabinet.
I just realized something to my great horror.
Dorian:"NOOOOOOOO!!!!".
Dag, Thia, and Lilith all break into my bedroom as im on the ground in an Orz position.
Lilith:"Whats wrong Dorian? What happened?"
Dorian:"I.... I......"
Dag:"What is it?"
Dorian:"I dont have my music." I say with the tone of broken man.
They all just stare at me with blank expressions.
Dorian:"Guys? Guys~"
Your a Dumbass, your head was pounded into the floor, -5hp.
Dorian:"Thats not cool guys. Im serious, if i dont have my music to listen to, i blank out throughout the day and i cant brainstorm ideas all that well. My music is the reason i can focus on doing any work."
Thia:"That does seem to be a problem."
Lilith:"Well maybe we can get you music from our world to help you focus."
Dorian:"Alright, lets try it. "They all leave my room and then return about a minute later carrying what seems to be smart phones. Thia decides to play her music first.
.....
Cancer.....
Dorian:"Thia.... your a nice girl. BUT YOUR MUSIC TASTE IS ABLSOLUT CANCER!!!"
It sounds like one of those songs that the show Regular Show made to make fun of club and dance music. Like this dj has no idea what the fuck hes doing. Im missing all the famous djs from my world now. Fuck.

Dorian:"Dag, your turn. Hopefully you got better taste."
....
Not as bad....
I like death metal as much as the next guy. I mean Gwar, All that Remains, and Slipknot are fucking awsome, but this music sounds like they got Lady Baby to sing it.
Dorian:"Not as bad as Thias Dag, but its still slightly cancerous."
Lilith:"Alright then its my turn."She turns her music on, on her phone.
... Bearable...
Sound like chillstep. You know like Lindsay Sterling and Blackmill. I can dig it.
Dorian:"Ok thats better, chillstep is pretty good. Now if only you guys knew who Breaking Benjamin, Bullet For My Valentine, Disturbed, and Linkin Park were. Maybe i can find some bands that sound like them. Wouldnt be the first time ive listened and liked music thats in a language i dont understand. I mean i listen to Rammstein. Oh, wait you dont know those guys. Fuck. Well, 'Que sera, sera'. What happens, happens."
Lilith:"Alright lets go get breakfast and head to the weapons training room."
We head to the mess hall and eat. As we're eating i ask the others,
Dorian:"Hey do you guys got a map or anything? I tend to travel by landmarks but the halls are so nondescript im getting lost anytime we go somewhere."
Dag:"No we dont have maps of the compound, why would we? If we got captured then anyone who captures us could have the layout of the compound."
Makes sense.
Dorian:"Guess ill just have to stick to you guys like white on rice. Well.... white rice."
We say bye to Ionith and then head over to the training room where Thia seems to take the reigns.
Thia:"Alright so what weapons do you think suit you?"
Dorian:"Well i think id need a transforming weapon."

Thia:"What?"
Dorian:"A weapon that has different modes that can be versatile and be switched around at a moments notice. Hand over a piece of paper and ill show you." They take a bit to find some paper and a pencil. I wonder if its a graphite pencil.
As im drawing, i draw the weapon ive always wanted to have and make when i lived in my other world. Its a scythe. Its not any scythe however. Its MY scythe.
Dorian:"Its called the 'Chained Crow'. It has a bunch of different modes. Like its full polearm mode, where not only does it have its scythe and axe blades out at the top, the top of both blades also form a forked spear. Then at the other end it has a long sword that can be used for close combat situations. Both ends of the staff that have the blades on them can come apart and be held together by a chain that extends range and contracts back to attatch to the staff again. The staff itself is foldable and can be held like a reverse grip blade. I know that the weapon itself seems impractical but i made the design when i was young and going through a phase known as the Chuunibyou phase. I was all about darkness, death, and despair while talking exageratedly in old english. Now however that i have powers that would make it plausible for this weapon to be manipulated and deadly. This bell shaped area between the forks on the spear can be used to focus a concussive blast that can not only increase cleaving power and change direction when its mid-air in chain mode. Plus the blast can be used to increase peircing power when using the longsword as a spear."
Dag:"...."
Thia:"...."
Lilith:"...."
Dorian:"What?"
Dag,Thia,Lilith:'Terrifyingly Genius'
You have learnt Complex weapon schematic creation. Its at level 50 apprentice.
Oh cool.
Lilith:"Well, before we help you create that monster, we should train you in the basics of all the weapons on the Crow. How many was it Dag?"
Dag:"Well there was a Sword mode, Scythe mode, Axe mode, Halberd mode, Forked Spear Mode, Chain weapon mode, and a Reverse grip blade mode. This might take more than three months."
Dorian:"Then we better get started eh? Seriously, why are all of you so pale? You look like you met with Death itself."
Thia:"Its just that this is a really versatile and deadly weapon if used correctly. Thered have to be many different styles that you need to learn to use all the weapons and itd be near imposssible to figure out a battleplan against someone with this due to it can go from short to long range in a moments notice. Are you sure you dont have any training? Youd need a good combat sense and concept grasping to come up with a weapon like this."
Dorian:"I really just put what i thought would be the best melee weapons on it and though itd be cool if it could come apart while held together by a chain. It seemed awsome and cool at the time. I just added the handle cause id need to control when the blades release."
Dag:"Ill go take this to Smith and see if he cant make a prototype while you guys train Dorian. Smith will have a field day with this."

The Last Science [SE]
[SE has the same content as the original story, split into smaller chunks for easier reading. This story is on a temporary hiatus due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. I work in healthcare and unfortunately no longer have the freetime to continue posting on a regular basis. As soon as our workload decreases, I will return. Thanks for reading! 💙] No one ever knows the whole story. Deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, the fading town of Rallsburg stumbles upon an amazing discovery—magic itself. Faced with potentially world-shattering power, the people of Rallsburg keep the secret for themselves. Led by Rachel DuValle, a perpetually underestimated college student with grand ambitions, they seek to found a new society. The world beyond suspects nothing, but magic cannot stay hidden forever. A train arrives in Rallsburg carrying Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate. To him, magic could represent meaning for his life, an explanation for his empty existence. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever—or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation. The Last Science is an ongoing science-fiction / low-fantasy web novel series, focused on the modern world with a twist. New societies bud and grow, but the people who make them up are imperfect and flawed. The story includes elements of mystery, action, crime, interpersonal drama, relationships, philosophy, sociology, politics, and much more, all centered on the perspective characters driving the tale. This is the "Scraps Edition" of the story, where the chapters have been split up into bite-size chunks (roughly 1500-3000 words), for your convenience.
