《Another World: Scientist》Chapter 9. Revealed.
Advertisement
I should've seen this coming... I really should've seen this coming!
It's the fairy woman that stood on my head before!
She's already here and doesn't seem a tad bit dazed from my hit...
I slowly back off and Ion seems afraid to move.
Correct assumption Ion... Do not move.
I hear a very loud whistle and fluttering of wings.
I go closer to the gate and peek out just to see more fairies.
The fairies start speaking to eachother and I go and grab my swords...
The very noticable fairy woman stops leaning on the gate but instead is now kicking it with full strength.
The other fairies join in and with their powers combined the gate is blown open.
"Hooraaaaay... Ion. We are so dead aren't we?" (Hayden)
"Indeed we are, Hayden. Indeed we are." (Ion)
The fairies quickly surround us and look at Ion.
"Ion. We need something big, scary and absoloutely terrifying to these people." (Hayden)
Ion projects a few silverback gorillas that are slightly enlarged than usual and they look mad.
A few fairies instantly react to them by stabbing them in the face and then realize.
They aren't real.
"Ion? Why didn't it work?" (Hayden)
"I don't know... I think these guys are the hunters..." (Ion)
"I think they are. Which means..." (Hayden)
"We can't project anything. They'll just attack it thinking it's some kind of new creature for the hunt." (Ion)
Ion stops projecting the silverback gorillas and the fairies that were 'stabbing' them are really confused.
The female fairy that stood on my head walks forward speaking in some kind of language.
"Ion... Deciphering?" (Hayden)
"Every word. I still don't know even one word... I matched it to every language on Earth ever created. No exact matching records, one very loosely matching record. Closest was a Finno-Ugric language but that was only for one word. And the word meant 'Follow'." (Ion)

The female fairy starts walking away and the guards behind us start poking us so we would follow her.
Even if I tried to escape the female fairy would catch up...
At best I could kill four of the guards? Maybe five?
But there's about 21 of them here including her.
We walk for a while and we reach the fairy town again.
Ion is in the prisoner ring aswell.
If the fairies couldn't fly I'd sent Ion away right now but they can fly so yeah...
We reach the middle of the town and the child who found us first is showing her parents that we did exist.
We keep walking forward until we reach some kind of grand hall tree?
It's basically just a huge tree with a grand hall-like building built into it.
We enter the hall and I instantly see a round table and about 15 old men sitting around it and one... Very... Young...
What the hell is a 5 year old doing next to some wise-looking old men?
The fairies and the old men start talking about something and they constantly keep pointing at me and Ion.
"Please don't be execution, please don't be execution, please don't be execution, please don't be execution, please don't be execution..." (Hayden)
The 5 year old hits his hand on the table and starts crying for some reason until a maid comes and takes him away.
During all that confusion I kind of told Ion to run.
Which he did... Until about the ceiling level of this building and now is just hovering and recharging his battery..
Thank god for the air hole they left in the building.
The fairy woman looks back at 'us' and then screams...
The guards walk forward and seem to be worried and then she speaks and they scream too.

I guess they finally noticed Ion 'escaped'.
"Well I guess I don't need to be here..." (Hayden)
I sneak away as the guards and the old men are trying to calm down the fairy woman and the rest went out to look for Ion...
I enter a random hallway and start wandering around with my hands still not tied and my swords still not taken away.
Have these people not taken prisoners before?
It's common knowledge to tie the prisoner's hands until their hands litteraly turn blue and then throw their weaponry into the acid pool unless it's something unique.
I wander around until a maid notices me after she exits a room.
"Maid. Please don't scream." (Hayden)
I run up to her as I say that and put my hand on her mouth.
"Sssssssh...." (Hayden)
I knock her out and slowly enter the room she exited and I put her on a chair in the room.
The room is just a room for a maid or another servant.
Ion should be going back to the base as to scare away any scavengers and hide the important wares...
I need to get out of here aswell to build up the gate again.
But... How?

Cybernetic Dragon
Idea Seven, or Inter Dimensional Explorer Automaton Unit-7, has had a bit of an accident. Hijacking the egg of a dragon rather than its intended target of a bird egg, it isn't fully in control of its host brain. Rather the two, dragon and cybernetic AI interface, must work together to survive in a hostile world of magic, dungeons, beasts and adventurers. The AI must deal with being a machine from a world of science trying to carry out its mission of exploration, while the dragon, Rex, must deal with being a cyborg living with symbiotic nanotech that sets him apart from other dragons. What adventures await them? Author Note: I tagged this story GameLit because it contains concepts like levels, classes, and dungeon/beast cores. But, it isn't tagged LitRPG because no one has status screens, other than occasionally Idea Seven who likes to organize data into blue boxes. It isn't a natural function of the world to display level ups or skill ups with an announcer voice. I mention this to set expectations, because otherwise I feel like LitRPG fans might be disappointed by my lack of LitRPG elements while others might be turned off thinking I have a lot of LitRPG elements. I think that if you approach the story with an open mind you will appreciate the gradual way in which the main character learns and expands his understanding of how the world works, but the game mechanics aren't meant to take center stage to the actual story.

Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire
Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.
