Chapter - 3
"AAAAAAHHH!!!" (Rex Vagus/Alexander King)
As he hurtled towards the ground, Rex couldn't help but scream. A blue message window popped up next to him but he was far too preoccupied to look at it. Suddenly, Rex felt his body get heavier, his rate of descent suddenly increased explosively!
BOOM!!!
Rex hit the ground Hard.
'How the hell did I survive that? Talk about a shit-faced landing! I am literally eating dirt right now!' (Rex)
Having fallen from a fairly high altitude, no normal human should have survived the impact. In addition, Rex had fallen face first, something that displeased him greatly. That's when he noticed the Message Window.
Welcome to Novus Mundus!Greetings Traveler!
Welcome to this new world. As of now, you have been summoned to a different world, however, it seems someone interrupted your summoning making it difficult for you to appear in a civilized area. You have been transported
to the [Lost Demon Forest] and must try your best to survive in this vicious jungle!
"......" (Rex)
"WHAT THE F*** IS THIS !?" (Rex)
RAAAAAHHH!!!!
"Shit! Monsters!" (Rex)
Rex ran from the crater he created when he landed. He knew that, currently, he wasn't strong enough to face any monsters head-on. Even though this game didn't have the concept of levels, one could say that while a newbie could kill a demon rabbit, the same rabbit could kill a careless veteran. Either way, he couldn't afford to confront a monster just when he started. So Rex ran.
2 hours of running later.....
*Pant* *Pant*
"Haa....My stamina isn't bad. Must be a racial trait. Shit, those bunnies are no joke. They chased me for an hour straight. Then those dogs caught onto my scent. Jeez! What's with this absurd forest..." (Rex)

Rex had been relentlessly chased by Demonic Beasts for two hours. He had met no less than fifty different types of beasts in the past two hours. The Lightning Bunnies and the Blood Hounds had actively hunted him, unlike the other beasts who had simply ignored him. He had finally managed to shake them off by swimming across a river and finding a relatively safe clearing.
"I need to find a place to rest. A camping ground would be asking for too much. A cave then? Or a tall tree? Both options are not easily accessible huh..." (Rex)
The jungle was fraught with various types of predators, a cave was something that most beasts would already be very possessive of. A tree, on the other hand, would be riddled with either the snake, primate or bird type beasts.
"Let's see what equipment I have...." (Rex)

"Man, this isn't really that descriptive..." (Rex)
Rex sat on the ground and shut his eyes to concentrate.
'If this is anything like in the light no- !?' (Rex)
As Rex was meditating, he could vaguely feel a sort of fog surrounding him. The fog seemed to have some coloration to it.
'Is this energy? No, this is more like....Essence?' (Rex)
*TING*
Congratulations! You have created a new skill!
New Skill: Mana Sense
"Eh, this is Mana? Where's the skill description? Let's see...Skill Description! Mana Sense!" (Rex)

"That's it!? Is this what she meant when she talked about custom skills? How come I never got a notification for the other three skills?" (Rex)

Sighing, Rex went back to meditating. As time went on he could in some way understand the Mana and it's properties. Earthen brown, Watery cyan, Fiery red and a Breezy green. These were the most basic essences of Mana that he could comprehend.
Next, Rex tried mentally reaching out to the essences. He felt that other than the essences of Earth and Fire, which were the easiest to reach out and connect to, Wind was slightly harder while Water was almost impossible.
"Seems like my affinities affect how I interact with Mana more than I thought." (Rex)
After that, Rex tried drawing in the Mana. He tried to start with dragging the Fire essence into the body.
Boom!
A small explosion happened near Rex's chest, where he was trying to draw the Mana into.
"Oof! Why did that happen!? Let's just try to gather it in one place!" (Rex)
Rex started gathering Earth Mana this time. He gathered it in his hands. He could feel something gathering above his hands. As he opened his eyes, he could see a clump of Earth hovering above his hands.
"This is....interesting. So, Mana is like the essence of an element? So if I condense enough Fire Mana...." (Rex)
FWOOSH!
As Rex gathered and condensed the Fire Mana in his hands, he managed to create a medium-sized flame.
"Medium-sized? Shouldn't it be smaller typically? Or is this because of my affinity?" (Rex)

Elizabeth, Elizabeth
An astroid miner encounters pirates attempting to commandeer his processing ship, Elizabeth, while he was away responding to other miner's mayday. The miner (Jeffrey Sokolov) and his Artificial Intelligence (Elizabeth - both the ship and AI were named after Jeffrey's late wife,) outsmart the pirates, capture them and bring them back to the Earth/Moon station - where they attempt to turn them over to the Naval ship, Wanigan. However Wanigan is in the process of mutiny. The executive officer of Wanigan sends a small squad of Marines under command of a petty officer. The petty officer realizes an opportunity, convinces Sokolov to join her cause, and together with the AI (Elizabeth) re-take the Navy ship, and restore her captain to command. In order to perform these acts, Sokolov and the ship Elizabeth are drafted into Navy Reserve. The captain of the Navy ship Wanigan re-recruits Jeffrey to act in a secret capacity, he is given an almost unlimited credit, the squad of Marines that came aboard to arrest Jeffrey, and the petty officer. Piracy and corruption are overly common, but Jeffrey, his team and his AI defeat the enemy, only to have it resurface shortly afterward. Aliens from several surrounding regions have found Earth and the solar system to be a rich source of mineral wealth.

Jeffrey and the navy take on the new menace, but new tools, including faster-than-light travel become available. Jeffrey and Elizabeth improve on the Navy's technical innovations, incorporate alien technology into their ship, and continue to dominate the region infested with aliens with somewhat superior and somewhat inferior technology.
