《Another World: Scientist》Chapter 11. Guns
Advertisement
I rush back to the base hoping they are still looking through each and every crack and corner in the castle.
"Our equipment is still here, no tracks of anybody entering except us." (Ion)
"Good. Let us begin. The more we wait the chance of us getting caught without weapons increases." (Hayden)
I go to my workshop where basically everything that you need to make a weapon with or anything else basic is piled up.
Worktable, here... Cauldron, here... Materials... Here.
I really must thank the blasted entrance exam into the Science and Technology part of the academy...
They really were thorough on weapon building and such for some reason...
I grab the materials and my equipment and start working.
After an hour or so of just solely working on one gun I finish all the parts and put them together...
Now for the other one and then the bullets.
I start working on the other gun and finish in half an hour to even my amazement...
"No, I don't have time to admire my improving speed at building guns!" (Hayden)
I immediatly start working on the bullets with Ion's help.
Three hours pass, nobody has come through the gate or even near it and all the bullets are finished.
I load them into the magazine and then remember... I don't have anywhere to put all of the other magazines...
"Guess there is no other way..." (Hayden)
I empty out my bag and put the things in the box that don't seem like really neccesary to be carrying around 24/7.
I put almost all of the magazines into the bag and load two of them into the pistols.
"Now... I'm ready." (Hayden)
"Hayden.. It's weird. Almost five hours have passed yet nobody has come looking for us..." (Ion)
"You are right Ion. It really is weird. I mean they can't be searching the castle anymore..." (Hayden)
"Should we go and take a look? Even if we did reinforce the walls they could come here and put a camp here so we couldn't escape... And it's better if we know if they are planning a raid on our base." (Ion)
I nod and start heading towards the gate with Ion.

We move through the forest towards the fairy town and by the time we arrive...
An army of... Undead?
"Are you serious!? Undead!? Really are those undead!? I need to take a sample! Now!" (Hayden)
I stupidly jump out of cover at the sight of undead... But well... I am a scientist and even with our tech back at the other world we couldn't even revive a simple fish!
I draw my weapon and shoot three of them head before they could react.
When I reach their bodies I see... Purple fog?
"It stinks! But... It is undead. Kind of explainable." (Hayden)
I grab the undead's arm after making sure it is dead and putting on a glove that I had in my bag.
It splits off from the undead too easily...
Like pulling a leaf from a dead tree...
I grab the head with one hand and pull it.
The head pops straight off.
"So easily... These undead... Their bodies are extremely fragile. They can't be used for sampling and tests..." (Hayden)
I look around my surroundings and there are no more undead except in the fairy town.
The fairies are putting up a resistance but the number of undead is just too big for them.
"The undead are fragile... One bullet should easily pass through many of them." (Ion)
I nod at Ion's words and run down the little hill and appear behind the undead army.
I shoot once and almost the entire line of undead falls down except the last guy who was hitting the shields of the fairies.
"Extremely fragile... More tests!" (Hayden)
I shoot again and another line falls except the last one.
"Hmm... How many undead can it go through... About thirty? Thirty one by the looks of things... I wonder how many a sniper rifle could go through... A hundred? A hundred and fifty?" (Hayden)
As I wonder to myself I shoot the undead while hiding myself a little so the fairies wouldn't try to capture me again.
After the last line of undead falls I hear people shouting that they won but... Not that many shouts.
Most of them definetly noticed that this wasn't their doing but something elses and are on guard.

"Everybody! Something more powerful than the blasted undead is here! Be on guard! If they decide to kill us... We couldn't do anything probably!" (???)
You could though... You just simply don't anger the person with the pistols.
The fairies move through the town in patrols looking for me even though I am right beside the main force...
Sitting in a building... Possibly aiming at the obnoxious fairy woman who caught me...
Should I fluster them a tad? No.. It's a waste of a bullet.
No bullet must be wasted!
The last patrol arrives back at the main force.
"General! We found nothing on the streets except actually dead undead. There were no tracks leading out of the town... Just one pair of tracks except the zombie ones into the town..." (Fairy Guard)
"From which direction did they come from?" (Fairy General)
"General, they come from the weird metal base we found and the people we just caught and lost a few hours ago..." (Fairy Guard)
"Oh this is bad... If it is those two weird things then... We have no chance of bringing them to our side..." (Fairy General)
One of the fairies looks into the window which I am staring through and his eyes go wide open and he tries to say something but can't.
I immediatly hide myself but I was too late...
"Rob! Rob come back to us! What did you see!? A ghost?! Rob?" (???)
"The... The prisoner..... Win... Window..." (Rob)
Everybody looks at the window where I used to be but sadly for them... I am already in another building looking at them.
"Quickly! Send guards to search the nearby buildings! Quickly!" (General)
Guards rush out entering the buildings searching for me.
They enter the building I am in and find me sitting on a chair.
"Follow us quietly!" (Guard)
I aim my pistol at him and shoot and the next moment he is lying on the ground holding his arm with blood flying everywhere.
The shield he held has a huge hole in it aswell.
The other guard looks at me with eyes basically out of his eye sockets.
"Ssssh. Can you understand me?" (Hayden)
He starts speaking but I cannot understand anything.
Even when the general was talking I couldn't understand anything.
(Author: I put the general's and guards texts in english so you readers could understand. Hayden and Ion cannot understand anything they say or anything written in this world as the languages aren't the same. Sorry for not saying this last chapter, I kind of forgot.)
"Yup as expected. I understand nothing! Ion?" (Hayden)
"Hahah... Nope. I don't understand anything either." (Ion)
Well then... I aim at the guard's leg and he understand what I want to do and immediatly shakes his head in a manner of no please don't.
"Oh we can kind of converse with them. Just not by speaking or by paper." (Hayden)
I point towards his friend and the main force asking for him to carry him out of here since well... He is bleeding a lot and the shock from suddenly seeing blood fly out of your arm even though you had your shield up and some heavy armor on...
He nods and quickly grabs his friend and escapes.
Now I must escape aswell! But how the hell? The only exit out of this house is straight towards the main force.
I could jump out of the window...
Well... How the hell should I go about doing this?
I could massacare a few of them put a devil-like impression...
Or I could not masscare a few of them but instead try to converse to leave an angel-like impression...
Or just run out of the damn door and run as fast as humanly possible towards the base...
I like the second one best because the fairies are damn fast and I don't really want to use bullets unnecessarily...
Guess I'll try the second one and when it goes wrong... Massacare while running! Perfect plan.
I explain my plan to Ion.
"The most intelligent way to do this is what you said." (Ion)
This is either going to go very very very wrong or very very very right.

Alviona (undergoing Rewrite).
This fiction is going to undergo severe Editing and a Rewrite over next few months. Here is what it hopes to accomplish: 1) Fix the glaring issues from Style in every chapter 1-31 (Dialogues, POV switches and Head-hopping too much) 2) Add some new chapters in and justify the development between Sofia and Anita 3) Remove the info dumps and make it more organic 4) Finalize the genres that this fiction belongs to 5) Create warning in the synopsis relating to the contents of the fiction. 6) Overhaul and show what Mira's view on Alviona is (slowly) 7) Introduce new characters 8) Show chapters the way they were intended, as clues apparently were not visible at all! 9) Make Alviona a bit more serious. 10) Make me (Author) enjoy reading my own work more (yes! :)) Hi. I have been gone for quite a long while. With heart surgery and such that has happened two months ago, I had not had a chance to log on RR due to being hospitalized. I had some other issues that the admins were kind enough to deal with on this fiction. It's good to see everything in one piece. The synopsis has been removed. Chapter 1 should be coming out sometimes before christmas. A lot has changed. I hope for the better. Instead of edits, I have re-read every single chapter and found it to be unsatisfying. A lot did not make sense and unless you have previously speculated what Alviona is, many things she does won't fall into pieces. Well then, time to address all of this. Ladies and gentlelmen, this fiction is undergoing a full scale re-write. While the characters and developments stay the same, it's being done differently. So much that the world should feel darker as it should have been. For those who have stuck around and know the story: Awesome. I worked hard on this, and hope that you will like my re-write. For thos that are new: Welcome. Give me some time, as I am super sluggish. I don't know much time is some time, but I gurantee chapter 1 will be up before Christmas. This said, again, thank you and know that I am back. And that this fiction will be completed. AT ANY COST. I will update synopsis after I post chapter 1. I might post Alviona (revised, as this current one is far too.... simplified, watered down, and dissapointing version of it) seperately. Those that want this, here. But I don't want to add chapter 40. It won't make sense without the backup and world-building of re-write. It will piss myself off. Now then, let's write hm? *This beautiful piece of art is provided by Charee from DeviantArt* https://www.deviantart.com/chalii
8 387Re:The Worst System Leveling Turned Me Into A Zombie
Before I reached Lvl. 100, they called me Death God Hei. But when I broke the limit, the System punished me. It cursed me to become this monster. I woke up as a Lvl. 0 again. Dying only brings me back to a save point now. But I don't go back until I die twice. First I suffer as a human, then I hunger as a zombie. The worst part is...I still have to watch when that thing takes over my corpse. I call it the Gray. I can't do anything even when it's hunting down those I'm trying to save. Sometimes, I wonder. When I level, I swear I can hear a voice speaking to me. This thing...can it think? It's like Re:zero crossed with SAO, Solo Leveling, and Tokyo Ghoul Re:The Worst System is a dark, 1st person timeloop story where the main character is slowly driven insane by his ability to respawn at a save point. However, each time he levels, there's a possibility that the next time he dies, the zombie inside him will become too powerful for anyone to stop. So he has to level up a harem...ahem, others, to fight for him against the System. Oftentimes, Hei will get trapped in repeating death loops which are truly terrifying. You've been warned...please don't read if you're not willing to see the darkness all the way through. The light on the other side may be a long ways away...I'll be trying to post on Thurs/Sundays, but honestly, depending on how I'm feeling, chapters could come out at some wonky times. If you want to support the story, read ahead, or bribe me to write more, I'd appreciate you checking out my Patreon, but this story will be updated frequently for free anyways.

8 214The Abyss
Nikolai lost his will after the most recent skirmish between the Grime Lords. The only thing he wants is to leave the Grimes alive, an impossible task. That is, it was an impossible task. With an Abyss that opened in the middle of the Grimes there's hope of gaining enough strength, money, and recognition to either fight, flight, or just plain old bribing his way out.

Reluctant and bloody, he experiences the cruelty of war firsthand.Three paths divided, three paths destined to converge. Forces of long ago are waking, forces which destroyed the world once. The world needs the Eternals once more. ***This novel has a prequel titled "The Union" which is already finished in Webnovel. Readers of this novel don't need to read the prequel.
