《Another World: Scientist》Chapter 20. Exploring the Capital, Enemy arrives.
Advertisement
A week or so has passed since I have come to my lab...
"We've completely ran out of materials to test on. We cannot even create anything useful yet since these materials really don't want to mix with eachother very well. One of the mixes even blew up in my face... Well atleast I got to craft more magazines with bullets due to some of the remnants of my tests." (Hayden)
"Indeed. We cannot even try to create even the most simplistic of droids. We need more materials and some lower end ones aswell. We cannot only have high end since might not know if some of the lower end ones actually are better than high end for us." (Ion)
I nod and stretch my hands.
"What the hell should we do now?" (Hayden)
"Explore the capital? I mean we haven't left this lab for exactly eight days and fifteen hours." (Ion)
I quickly think about it and then get up from my chair.
"Alright then. Since we have nothing else to do yet I'll go tell the Princess we need some other materials and I want to explore the capital." (Hayden)
I look at all the almost-free 'slaves' I have around who are just sitting and looking at me.
"Ion, tell them they can go and do whatever they want for... Three days. They have three days to do whatever they want inside the city and then come back." (Hayden)
Ion floats to the middle of the lab and tells them to relax and go out of the lab for three days to have some fun.
By now I know a lot about the language but I can't really speak it, I mess up all the words and their order constantly embarrasing myself so I prefer to just let Ion do the talking.
This language is confusing a little... Each every change can change the meaning of the sentence completely.
Try to talk about fun and you end up talking about a mountain or something.
The moment Ion finishes they all slowly leave the lab and we leave aswell after locking up and making sure none of our secrets will be spilled if anybody enters.

I head to the throne room of the capital and ten guards stop me from even touching the door.
"Ion, tell them if they realise it's me..." (Hayden)
When Ion finishes the guards pull back their spears letting me pass through.
I open the doors to the throne room and enter.
"What do you mean we don't have enough crops to feed our people if we keep using the usual ways!? But it's worked so well so far!? How can it suddenly not!?" (Emilia)
I walk closer to the throne where Emilia is speaking with a farmer.
"My princess... The crops this season don't want to grow very well. We suspect they won't grow next year either. We need to find a solution, Princess!" (Farmer)
I walk next to the farmer.
"Ion, tell them I might have an answer if they don't the four-way crop rotation and Irrigation since I doubt they do looking at the technology of this world." (Hayden)
Ion speaks with them and they look at me with surprise.
Oi, I still am a man from another world with technology thousands of years away from you! Don't underestimate me!
"Please, tell us Hayden! We can put it to use next year!" (Emilia)
"Ion, tell them about the foyr-way Crop Rotation and Irrigation systems. Mainly about crop rotation and tell them in detail how to do it." (Hayden)
Ion tells them about the four-way Crop Rotation system which uses four different fields and only one of those fields has a fodder crop for the farm animals.
Emilia is quick to grab a paper and pen from behind the throne and write down what Ion is speaking.
"Ion, also tell them to make some rice fields since they yield high rewards if cared for properly aswell and tell them the ways to to harvest rice correctly. I doubt they have this technique since it's an European-styled Empire and on the way here I saw no rice at all." (Hayden)
After Ion finishes speaking, the farmer gets up from fainting all of a sudden and Emilia finishes putting all Ion's words on a paper and handing it to a guard and instructing the guard to give it to the advisors for overview.

"Ion, tell Emilia to make the farmer leave. I need to speak with her in private." (Hayden)
Emilia gets up after Ion finishes speaking.
She tells the farmer to leave and for me to follow her.
We go into her bedroom for some reason...
"This is the best spot for us to talk. No guards needed, no holes in the walls and safe." (Emilia)
"Ion, tell her that I want to explore the capital for three days and while I am away from the lab I need some lower-end materials brought into the lab so I can continue my tests." (Hayden)
Ion speaks to her for a bit.
"Alright. I shall let you go into the Capital but stay away from the slums. Somebody might steal your 'guns'. The lower-end materials shall be brought to the lab by the end of the third day." (Emilia)
"Ion, thank Emilia for me." (Hayden)
We try to leave but Emilia stops us.
"Don't leave without any money. You might find something!" (Emilia)
Emilia throws us a bag of gold coins and I bow and leave.
I head into the aristocrat's shopping district.
"So this is the shopping district solely for the Royalty and Aristocrat's. I wonder what the capital for the Empire would be like... Well if this was an actual civil war the capital would be destroyed." (Hayden)
"Incorrect, my database says that the true capital of the Empire is in the middle of it's territory and is declared a 'Neutral Territory' as in no army must march into it except for the defence army from bandits and such. It is a complete neutral territory and no battles must be fought near it." (Ion)
"Where did you hear that?" (Hayden)
"The guards were talking about the Capital a few days ago." (Ion)
I laugh for a bit and then we start walking amongst the shopping district.
A lot of clothing and jewelry, barely any food shops.
I'm guessing the blacksmith and other such jobs are in the citizen's districts.
I walk around the district for about an hour or so before leaving and heading into the citizen's districts, mainly the shopping ones.
I kept a close eye on the bag of gold coins Emilia gave me and my guns, so far nobody has even touched them except me.
"So the west portion of the city is mainly shopping districts, the north portion residential, the east is for smitheries and blacksmiths and other craftmanship works... Kind of like an industrial district. And the south portion is half-trade, half-adventurer's guild based on this map..." (Ion)
"Indeed Ion. Also... The adventurer's guild part catches my interest. It's a legal way to start murdering everything and gathering their materials. Also an easy way to get information on some more rare materials. I'll need to ask Emilia about it." (Hayden)
I start heading back but I hear a loud bell from behind me and a guard frantically hit it and other guards run to the wall.
I head closer to the guard and hear what he is shouting.
"It's the King's Faction Elite Army! All civilians to your homes! All soldiers to the walls! This is going to be a terrifying fight!" (Guard)
"Ion, should we?" (Hayden)
"We should. You did craft a few more magazines didn't you two days ago? We should have enough bullets to take down about 45% of an army if their size is under a thousand." (Ion)
"Let's do this then. Ion, go grab my bag with the magazines from the lab and bring it to me. I'll be on this part of the wall until I get the magazines." (Hayden)
Ion floats away and I head up to the wall.
Now... For some live-fire tests on the elite soldiers of the Empire to test how powerful my guns actually are.
So far my guns have proved to be... Very strong.
But how strong are they actually...?

Kingdom of Tyr (Original)
This fiction has been concluded as of the end of Book 1, the portion of the story posted here. There will be a complete rewrite as a separate fiction in the future to make the system more consistent and add more to the world while expanding on the events within this fiction. This rewrite will begin eventually, posted as a separate story. Colt, twelve, is walking home from school when he's approached by another boy dressed oddly, who asks him - theoretically - about living in another world. After asking some information about the theoretical other world, Colt says he'd probably prefer to live there, to get away from the problems he has on Earth. Once Colt confirms that, he finds himself in an abandoned city, the other boy revealing himself to be a god, who then offers to train Colt until he can stand on his own and live by himself. After a couple of months, the god sends Colt off for greater training, to learn to use both Aura and Mana, with his only instructions being to return every now and then to visit, and to make friends and have lots of fun. This story follows Colt, a boy named Tyler he meets in the new city, and their journey to growing stronger, having fun, and striving to beat each other. Note: this story is not intended to be professional-quality, and it does draw inspiration from many sources. That said, it is its own story, in its own world. It has never been and never will be edited. It will also have multiple PoV's, starting somewhere after Chapter 8.

The Curio Shoppe
Kellan Klein is an ordinary college student with an average, if traumatic and painful past. Everyone grows up grappling with depression and anxiety that seem to be genetic in a house with parents that, while loving, fight all the time and have weird ideas about what kids should and shouldn't do, right? Everyone deals with bullying, racism, judgement on their romantic inclinations and their family's economic status and just general shittiness, right? All of Kellan's friends sure did, and for all of them, entertaiment media were a welcome escape from their painful, dreary lives. After all, who wouldn't want to sail the seas with Monkey D. Luffy and the Strawhats, or help Meng Hao con increasingly powerful and influential people, or join Cecil Harvey and his friends on their weird journey to save the world, or make friends with Peter Parker while pretending to not know he was everyone's favorite wall-crawling superhero? Kellan certainly wanted to, and while he pursued college to seek out a career he saw himself enjoying, something felt inexplicably empty about his life. So when a decidely sinister force kidnaps him and the prettiest man he's ever seen saves his life and offers him his wildest dreams, Kellan becomes the shopkeeper of a mysterious, dimension hopping shop, complete with a system that helps him acquire items. abilities, materials, and other cool shit to stock it with, as well as some other neat perks. Will Kellan become a boring overpowered MC, like the kind from web fiction that he reads to sate his boredom? Will he keep his generally kind, sweet nature despite the shit he's gone through and will go through, or will he inexplicably become a scary, violent, irrational arrogant douchebag? Will he use his newfound abilities to explore the multiverse and improve the lives of himself and others, or will he become his own antithesis, a purely mercantile jerk obsessed with money and profit, with no concern for anything that doesn't help or hurt his business? Find out in The Curio Shoppe! Author's note: Please suggest possible setting he could visit in the comments. I'll gather ones i'm familiar with, and at the end of every arc, a poll will be held to decide the next location he visits. There will be polls for other purposes, and I might not always go with the poll winner if I feel one of the other options is more fun to read/write about. I will not use the settings of other RRL writers without their permission.Do not ask for that, unless the author in question gives permission. Most settings he visits will be slightly AU in some way or another, but please remind me if I drift too far from canon unintentionally or characterize a character wrongly. This work will eventually fit all tags I selected once he visits universes suited to those tags, so don't ask when or where a given tag is coming. I do not own the cover art, it belongs to Nicholas Belanger Thiel, and I will stop using it if he asks me to. Kellan doesn't look like the old man on the cover, though once he acquires a disguise-type ability he may occasionally use that appearance. The tapir, however, will be a thing, as despite looking like a failed attempt at an elephant, tapirs are cool and this dragon finds them to be kinda cute. The art, along with more of Nicholas's pieces, can be found at https://www.artstation.com/artwork/51bXz
