《Another World's Trespasser》Chapter 1: Survival of the Fittest
Advertisement
I think it’s a bit too late, but let me introduce myself.
My name is Seth, and I’m 14 years old this year. I don’t really have a surname since I resided inside an orphanage up until I'm 4 years old.
The phantom industry decided to adopt me because of the high level of intelligence I possess. All puzzles and problems thrown at me were easily solved without even breaking a sweat.
They provided me with all the basic living necessities and taught me all the knowledge and skills needed for me to get started.
I dedicated all of my time repaying their kindness and worked hard in order to make them proud of me.
But it’s all for naught ……
“Damn! Damn! Damn It!!!”
My fingers moved non-stop, pressing the buttons on the keyboard, trying to restart the machine. But it only responded with a low pitched sound. The bluish radiance previously emitted by the void stone has been lost, making its appearance the same as an ordinary rock.
*Sigh*
Getting frustrated here won’t get me anywhere …
I recollected my thoughts and began to reanalyze the problem in front of me.
The thing that must be prioritized right now is to find a way to survive in this unknown world. And that means finding a stable source of food and water.
Well shelter isn’t a problem since the whole warehouse is teleported with me.
Currently, the stock of food inside the one and only refrigerator won’t even last me a day or two. And the water system was severed from the mainline after the teleportation incident.
I’ve got no choice but to hunt for food and find a lake or something.
Then, I dejectedly drooped my shoulders as I suddenly recalled the present situation.
How am I supposed to do these things? If it isn’t for those monsters wandering about under broad daylight, this mission would be a walk in the park.

I continued throwing complaints for a while, after that I started to collect some tools needed for this mission.
And this were the only things that I found useful, after rummaging through all the rooms inside the warehouse.
A tranquilizer gun
A flashlight
A Swiss army knife
A bag of Potato Chips
Hey! Hey! Don’t judge me okay! Doing these kind of things will surely make me hungry along the way.
By the way, about half of the contents inside the refrigerator consists of junk foods and the other half, were chemicals used in some of my previous experiments.
My main weapon, the tranquilizer gun, was used for subjugating wild animals that were roaming freely back at the island. It can easily put an adult elephant into sleep in only a matter of seconds.
But just to make sure, I added a potent neurotoxin in each shots to convert the harmless tranquilizer gun into a deadly weapon capable of killing those monsters.
I waited until night came watched as the darkness completely swallowed the whole surroundings.
It seems that the number of monsters currently roaming around had decreased by about 80% making it the best time to set out and complete my objectives.
This substantially improved my survivability and gave me a whole lot of confidence that I inadvertently walked through the front door without even taking any precautions.
And suddenly ….
I sensed incoming footsteps from the part of the forest situated at the front of the warehouse.
My survival instinct kicked in that I found myself hiding behind the bushes without me even noticing it.
There I saw two of those pig monsters, inspecting the front of the building. It seems that these creatures are capable of interaction with their own kin, and that means they possess at least a level of intelligence that made them capable of speech.

I continued watching their every movements and after a minute of silence …..
*Beep* *Beep* *Beep*
“Oh shit!!”
I frantically tried to stop the alarming sound coming from my mobile phone, but the death flag has long been raised.
One of the monsters slowly and carefully approached the source of the alerting sound.
With every step the monster makes, my heartbeat increases and my body was refusing to move because of the fear that I’m experiencing.
It’s either to kill, or be killed.
The only choice left for me was to fight, so I carefully aimed the gun at the center of the monster’s chest.
After pulling the trigger, a loud *thud* can be heard from the position of the monster. And there I saw its body convulsing nonstop and foam leaking from its mouth.
The other pig monster began to panic after witnessing its comrade’s body, dropping lifelessly onto the ground.
Unable to explain the situation in front of it, the monster decided to run away from the impending danger that awaits him.
*Sigh*
I let out a relieved sigh after escaping certain death yet again and slowly approached the remains of the pig-like monster.
Then suddenly, multiple semitransparent windows popped out in front of my vision with a *ding* sound saying:
Code:
Congratulations you have reached level 2!
Congratulations you have reached level 3!
Congratulations you have reached level 4!
Congratulations you have reached level 5!
“Huh? What the hell is this?”
I made a dumbfounded face after reading the contents of each sign.

Settlement of Safehaven - A Hearthtree Series
"Welcome to the ECS Asgard, your ride through the stars to your new home-" Or so goes the sales spiel of this one of four and first-produced colonization ship, a spiel meant to placate the portions of humanity who would be selected for such a journey through the stars. It was meant to be a simple thing; people would sleep in hibernation or stasis, to experience their lives within the virtual reality world which kept their minds occupied. The virtual world was meant to simulate a fantasy world of Viking or Roman lore. But not all with this virtual world was fine; nor were the humans who were selected for its maiden and only voyage. One colonist lost everything dear to him, but through his pain and torment, he gained the attention of the colony ship's AI.
8 405YAOS 1 - Limitless Adventures - Yet Another OP Story Book 1
December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and at Amazon. December 30th 2018: V1.1.2 of YAOS Book 1 is out, some content additions, fixed typos. Amazon's enhanced typesetting now displays tables properly. YAOS is shown through the eyes of some genius athlete getting OP inside a VR, ah wait, Full Immersion game, ?F.I.O?. Not a Hero, not a Nerd, just a driven individual paying for mistakes made, biding time until he can return to the Real World. He isn't defined like you'd normally do it, you can pick his looks and name all on your own, just like you do in video games. Believe it or not, keeping his looks undefined is harder than you think. His backstory isn't expounded in detail, but it drives his choices. Book 1 isn't about depressing sob stories but about fun and rushing forward, pursuing new horizons. Oh, and you'll end on a cliffhanger! Well, most serials do, so you will probably expect that without being told explicitly. But it isn't that bad, there's a lot of reveals and more to come once this book, that is the first in a planned three-part series, is finally ready for release on amazon et al. The published version will have: 1.) Godawful speaker tags, I hate them, they make you stop thinking and speed up editing so much. In hindsight they should have been in to begin with. But I stand by my goals proclaimed earlier. You guys should think while reading, that is the whole point of the exercise. Apply the knowledge and ideas, improve yourself, get creative! 2.) Pretty colored tables, the damned blue boxes, a lot of work, 69 in one book. Finally fixed amazon's centering issue. Can't say I liked the hours needed to debug that. 3.) The promised Mitara chapters. 4.) A cover! 5.) And lastly, updated polished versions of several chapters. MC shares more of his past, some terrible chapters (esp. 32) finally work. Some new scenes, minor rewrites in parts. Text flow and other issues. The current challenge is to maintain essential ambiguity while satisfying people wanting to know more without thinking three steps ahead. Balancing one with the other is tough. The smut which was in remains, but the story told is not to be superseded by it. A 15+ rating for the first book is also important, not to mention, YAOS wasn't meant to contain any smut to begin with. If the Author can turn to writing full time his output should increase, so please support YAOS #1 once it does finally release. ~Thank You~ No maps so far, that should be in, but is really hard to get done right. Again, tips are appreciated. Update September 2017: Stubbed chapters, sorry guys, currently don't have time to upload them elsewhere, polishing book 1 and 2, writing 3, takes precedence. Book 1 is in heavy editing, too much to keep synced and continuing editing. I'd need a site which offers JS-free rapid managing of chapters and comments. Coding one myself or setting a premade up is out of scope until I'm done with the books. RRL-old offered that, nuff said. This is only here because the author believes in fairies, nobody reads this, most likely. October to December 2017: Life threw some curveballs. February 2018: Book 2 draft 1 completed, at ~150K words. Book 2 is fairly epic in scope, requires 1 rewritten chapter, some editing. Tables and miscellanea are in, but needs at least a grammar pass. March 2018: Book 3 at 28k words, first arc, rest needs serious planning for spin-off and satisfying conclusion. July 2018: Yet another proofing/editing session of books 1-3, 101+ chapters, ~300k words. B3 at 48k, starts out great, but no ETA, no wordcount limit, in flux. But prioritizing my writing cannot be done, I hate the delays as much as you, but you will prefer the whole released in a timely fashion rather than wait. Knowing myself how excruciating waiting can be, at least you'll get significantly polished versions and an ETA on book 2 by release of book 1. December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and in the process at Amazon et. al.. . To all who wait patiently, offered feedback, thanks again!
