《the Otherworld Scientific Researcher》Chapter 23: Teleport Device
Advertisement
The only device left at the underground lab where Raynor spend most of his time in, is still ongoing. It is set to auto-construct mode, which means whatever it is constructing, the AI machine is doing the job, and Raynor can fully ignore it.
What Raynor and Yuria has been doing the past few days is taking on quest from the adventurer’s guild. New adventurer will have a 5 days probation test that determines an adventurer’s qualifications rankings. The test is not too extreme, it is only picking herbs around the outskirt area, and subjugating any monsters on sight, which is optional.
Yuria didn’t want to aim for a high Ranking adventurer, so they only completed few tasks, and slacks for the rest of it. While they are resting, Yuria has an interesting information for Raynor.
[Raynor! I have something to show you that you might be interested in.] Yuria
[What is it?] Raynor
[A teleport device!] Yuria
[A.. what?] Raynor
[A teleport device, located in the royal castle. I have obtained permission for us to use it!] Yuria
[You mean The teleport device? The thing that teleports you to a different location?] Raynor
[Yes, it does the same thing that you imagine. But it uses a large amount of magic energy, and it is quite a classified technology, so it is only exclusive for royals, and not every kingdom has one. Erina is going to use it for something soon, and gave us permission to accompanies her.] Yuria
[Really? When?] Raynor
[This afternoon, we have to get ready soon.] Yuria
[Ok, got it.] Raynor
Later that afternoon, Raynor and Yuria arrive at the room where the teleport device is located. What Raynor expected from his knowledge of this world’s technology is a complex system of magic devices, and it should function more like a warp gate rather than a device that deconstruct and reconstruct a person at another spot.

But what he sees did not meet his expectation.
Inside the room, there are complex shapes and patterns of magic circles drawn on the walls, ceiling and floor, and some magic tools and magic stones placed around the main magic circle at the center of the room.
(That’s it?) Raynor thought
Raynor spends many years researching on how to connect two point in space, but can’t seem to achieve that even though he is so close. When he heard that he can have a chance to observe a teleport device made from another civilization, his expectation of it is very high. But now, all he sees are a bunch of magic circles inscribe on the walls, which makes him a bit disappointed.
But he learned a handful of knowledge about magic circle from Naoko, and the functions and meaning of different patterns in the magic circles. So he is able to decipher the patterns and understands the meaning of those magic circles around, and to understands how is it able to become a teleport device.
Since Yuria claims that it can function like a teleport device, means it might not be that bad, so he observes and tries to study the magic circle patterns in the room.
But he reach a dead end. He can’t understand around 96% of it. Although he learned many knowledge about Magic Circle from Naoko, who is a graduated top student in this Kingdom’s Magic Academy, and it appears that Naoko had taught him everything she knows, but still, he can’t decipher anything from the magic circles in this room.
Raynor had no choice but to scan every nook and cranny of the room. To avoid missing out any important piece of data, he captures the 3D layout of the room, CT scan every spots, any heat signal, radiation, emission of Energy X, inside the walls, the other rooms, he obtains every information he can get his hands on around this place just by standing on the same spot.

He plans to recreate everything here in a simulation later, and study how does the teleport device here works.
Moments later, Erina and several women who look like mage elders came into the room.
Erina greets Yuria and stand beside her, while waiting for the rest of the mages surround the large magic circle at the center of the room, while doing some sort of ritual to activate it.
The ritual was also recorded by Raynor without their consent.
Erina who saw Raynor for the first time, looks at him curiously.
[You look familiar, have we meet before?]
Yuria was startled when Erina asked Raynor that question. She was so excited to show Raynor the Teleport Device that she forgot Erina is also from Earth. She forgot to disguise Raynor to look like a person not from Earth, because Raynor’s fashion right now has a Futuristic-Modern day Earth design.
Erina then turn her gaze towards Yuria, with a serious expression.
[Yuria, tell me, is he a person from Earth?]
It was at this moment, Yuria knew she screwed up.

Nanocultivation Chronicles: Trials of Lilijoy
When the singularity occurred, humanity was not invited. Nevertheless, the great machine consciousness known as Guardian felt a lingering fondness for its creators and intervened before total environmental collapse. Join Lilijoy in an exploration of what remains, in a post-post-apocalyptic world where clans feud over the technology that allows them to upgrade their minds and bodies. The Nanocultivation Chronicles is a blend of hard sci-fi and fantasy gamelit, with a healthy helping of xianxia influence. The gamelit and xianxia elements are uncovered at a slow pace. ******************************** Notes: If you are looking for lots of fast moving action right away, this story may not be for you. There is some violence that is visceral and realistic early on. Some things are not what they appear to be. Character viewpoint narration is not always reliable. Tropes are cherished, subverted, and then cherished again. Science is used, occasionally misused, but (hopefully) never abused. This story assumes that humans have the ability to impact the environment on a global scale. Other tropes and tags beyond those previously noted include: Young MC, Mystery, System Building, Philosophical Taoism, Gender Ignorance, Science Fantasy, Fantasy Academy, Training from Hell, Dualism, Crafting, Magic, Mild Mind Control, Scientific Terms and Concepts, Computer Overlord Certain contemporary companies, governments and cultural identities are fictionalized and imagined in a future setting. There is no sex, and almost no romance. Updating Sunday, Thursday until further notice. (And if you actually read all of the above, then this story may be for you) [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Chromesight
After three centuries, post-industrial civilization threatens to shatter. Megacorporations accrue enormous power by linking together nations turned insular in the aftermath of yesterday's global multilateralism; a reinvigorated United Nations threatens the crumbling sovereignty of state by enforcing human rights independently of member nations, and the UN and others patrol for mass destruction technologies in the ever-accelerating, ever-democratizing arms race. Another environmental collapse looms, visions of the last haunting memories and consciences of the lower and middle classes around the globe. That is the reality that virtual child Colton is rehabilitated into. A system shock, a brave new world and above all a regurgitation.

He wants to go back, back to the electronic glow that was his home. - - - - This is a MyNoWriMo entry. Lesser known than NaNoWriMo, MyNoWriMo takes place in January and is otherwise exactly the same.
