《Another World: Scientist》Chapter 0. The Start.
Advertisement
My name is Hayden Igbhan. A scientist dealing with many different studies... Quantum Mechanics, Mechatronics... Advanced Cloning and Artificial Intelligence.
The year is 3614... That means I've been alive for 50 years and I still have about 250 to go.
I have personally been involved with building a sort of teleportation device...
We will hijack this 'signal' that appears every time a human suddenly disappears into thin air.
This signal by rumors has existed for thousands of years taking people from Earth and now is taking people from other planets aswell.
I want to see why... And where it is taking them.
So me and a group of scientist and engineers built this with funding from the Goverment of Planet Cetreia.
If anybody finds this and a lot of dead bodies due to an explosion... That means it malfunctioned and we failed probably.
I am going to be inside the machine trying to make the signal teleport me to the other end of the signal.
The group of scientists and engineers I am working with will leave their own part of the story in this same datapad.
Sincerely,
Lead Scientist,
Hayden Ighban.

"Are we ready Alicia?" (Hayden)
"Yeah. Only the signal needs to come." (Alicia)
"Good. Everybody completely ready? This might work perfectly or not at all." (Hayden)
"We wouldn't be doing this if we weren't ready for this important part of history. We just need to make sure where the hell you would be going... But leave that to us, Hayden." (Scientists)
"Hahahah! I sure will! Where are the engineers by the way? I haven't seen them around." (Hayden)
"They were called to help build the T.R.I.O.N." (Scientists)
"Oh... That thing..." (Hayden)
Suddenly all the sensors go off as the signal appears.

I run towards the machine and sit down on the chair and strap myself in.
The other scientists put all the necessary survival things on the box that will be teleported at the same time as me in a little bit smaller version and less complex one as the one I am in.
"The signal is basically right inside this room! The perfect chance! Start the process! Jayd!" (Alicia)
"Will do!" (Jayd)
Jayd the experienced scientist who is a tall skinny genius basically... My best friend. Alicia, my sister... She was voted the cutest scientist every year since she came here with me.
This might be the last time I see both of them and the last time I see this building...
"Hayden, you ready?" (Alicia)
"Yup. Press it." (Hayden)
"Bye..." (Alicia)
Alicia waves goodbye and I smile before I am teleported.
I only see a long cylinder tunnel with no seeming end... Just like a Faster Than Light jump...
Where will I end up at?
We shall see.

Jericho never thought about gaining superpowers. Like everyone else in society, he simply expected his abilities to manifest on their own, but they never did. With the help of his doctor, it looks like Jericho finally hit a breakthrough, and after a few years of being powerless, things might start looking up for him. Join Jericho and others as they interact in this world where everyone has extraordinary abilities. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ HIATUS NOTE (Please read): Starting June, I will be going on a summer hiatus (around 3 months) to focus on my future career and set myself up to succeed in school. I will still be writing in the meantime and creating a backlog, but I won't be posting chapters. I apologize for this. I wish there was another way. Note: This story has multiple POVs, but the main one is Jericho. The MC grows and develops throughout the story and isn't instantly OP. I try to write ~1500 words per chapter but I write according to what I feel is suitable. (Could be more. Could be less). The content warning tags are mostly for flexible writing, but do expect it or something of the sort. This is a story suitable for older teens and adults. Schedule: New chapter every other Sunday (sometimes Monday if I'm a bit behind).

(Episodic Sci-Fi Slice of Life) An oddball group of astronauts are sent into the unknown with little experience and problems ranging from minor to Ursa Major.

8 110Oracle by Default
Oracles are known as divine handouts passed down from the Holy Creator. There are times when evil exist and the Holy Creator wishes to intervene, to which the title of the Oracle is bestowed upon an individual to become the Creator's will in physical form. The Oracle's mission is to then gather heroes from different races to purge the evil. “For the reckoning that is to come, all are tested. Thou shall be the shadow of which valiant souls shine and guide thee through harsh trials. Till oblivion comes, do not turn astray but to continue down the path thou chosen to walk. Lastly, thou must not see eye to eye with, but against the world.” A mysterious man engraved a seal onto Kihet before saving him from being consumed by the flames. The seal seems to have a strong connection with the legends of the Oracle and a Tower with no entrance that suddenly sprouted near the village. Throughout years, his efforts to study the strange tower remained fruitless. Then one day, the village decided it was time for his friends and him to become envoys to look for the potential evil the Holy Creator detected. Before Kihet can set off on his journey alongside his friends, he has his own set of problems to overcome against the village. Note: It's slow. There is romance, but it plays a small role that I don’t know if I should add it in the tags. Main story starts at Chapter 12. Chapters before do contain meaningful context for the rest of story.
