《Kingdom of Earthos》Chapter 4: Eagle explores the school.
Advertisement
Eagle finally finished arranging his belongings and placing his clothes in the appropriate sections in in his room which were surprisingly tidy as he was a relatively neat person and organized person who hates disorder. Taking a second look at his work, he was in a way proud of his achievement. His parents thought he was a failure and different believed that Eagle would not last more than a week away from home but the boy was determined to prove them wrong. "I will make it regardless", he said to himself. Looking out the window and smelling the fresh air on his face and seeing the sun still shining as well as hearing the laughter of other students outside the apartment, Eagle decided to go out and explore the surroundings. "I might actually bump into Tomi and her best friend Mads".
Heading out of the unit and saying goodbye to his two flatmates who were still in their rooms, Eagle took a bottle of water which he placed in the refrigerator before heading outside carefully closing the main door of the unit behind him and making sure it was lock. He did not forget to lock his room door either as Eagle had always been thought to be careful not to leave anything unlock where his valuables are placed. As the lift takes a lot longer than expected to arrive and walking downstairs is much faster, he decided to use his feet instead before heading out of the apartment's main door. "Now to take a look at the fields and see how the animals are doing".
There were thousands of fields which measured 600 square metres each outside a hundred metres away from his apartment. Eagle spotted Tomi's animals and tried to greet them but they all ran away. He even spotted the animals which belonged to Bob and Ann. The tall 6ft Chickcharney was what amazed Eagle more than the others. "I wonder why I did not command one". He headed towards the field where his animals are. On the gate, not only was his name written in bright green but there were smaller words underneath which said, "Your animals will be fed everyday. Your only responsibility is to train your animals and teach them to obey your instructions". Eagle knew these writings belonged to Mona as he saw her write his name down before taking him to the arena to meet the animals and the cryptics hours ago. He unlocked the gate and entered his field locking the gate behind him.

The green eyed polar bear was in his 7ft human form sleeping. Its human form looks a bit like Alan Barnes, a fictional character in the story called Worm. The little green darning dragonfly was flying around catching whatever insect it could before resting on the green and black sun bear which was also asleep. "I wished I had commanded an Eagle. It would have silence these who hate my name". Deep down in his heart, he had another wish that was to impress Tomi. Approaching the sleeping polar bear, Eagle screamed into its ear, "Wake up!" The green eyed polar bear in its human body refused to budge. "What am I to do?" Remembering what Mona said when after he had a panic attack in the arena, "You have to do what is unusual sometimes", Eagle stroke the 7ft 'man's' head and wisphered gently, "This is Eagle, your commander and friend". The green eyed man woke up before transforming into a giant 1540 pound green eyed polar bear which is its true form. He did the same to the sun bear which obeyed him. The dragonfly landed on his shoulder.
"I see you have gained control of your animals, haven't you?" a familiar voice called out. Eagle turned to the left and discovered the person who greeted him was no other than Mads whose field happen to be beside his. The only thing seperating their field was the fence. "Fancy seeing you here. I see you managed to control your animals too".
"I have been in my field way before you entered yours silly and I did not control only animals. One of them is a cryptic. My three friends are a giant panda, silverback gorilla, and a bigfoot", Mads hugged her giant panda combining her smirk with a cutesy pout. While, she was not the typical pretty popular girl on tv shows, the petite brown haired girl who looks like an ocean blue eyed version of Dora was adorable.

"These animals are too huge for a petite and adorable girl like you", Eagle blurted out without thinking about the consequences of his words.
"Says who? The Eagle wannabe?" Mads stuck out her tongue at him.
"Have you named your animals yet?"
"No not yet, may I know the name of your animals please?" the boy who loves eagles asked politely this time.
"You now sound like a SIMP. The name of my giant panda is Panda".
"Why did you call you panda that?"
"Firstly, have you watched the movie Takken. I named her after a fictional character who is a panda herself and best friends with a petite female Asian fighter named Ling Xiaoyu".
"I remember now".
"My silverback gorilla is called King Kong. An easy name to remember plus that is the nickname our Principal King has been given thanks to Jake and my big foot's name is Gian".
"You must watch a lot of Japanese animes".
"Indeed. So what are you going to name your animals? You better name them quickly before I help you do so".
"My polar bear, Maximus Gron, sun bear, Sunny, and green darner, Greenie", Eagle named them in a hurry.
"That was lame but well done".
"By the way how is Tomi doing?"
"She is with Jake at the moment probably making out or whatsoever. You should forget Tomi, she is already taken. Don't think I didn't notice the way you look at her. You will be better off going for somebody like Ann. She acts like Wednesday just as you act like an eagle. Both of you are two peas in a pot and wannabes".
"I might date you instead". Eagle smirked his green eyes looking into the petite girl's ocean blue eyes.
"Nah. There are many boys taller and better built than you after me", Mads stuck out her tongue once again before returning to training her animals.
Eagle proceeded to train his animals which came surprisingly easy but not without mumbling under his breathe. "No polite goodbye. Whatever?"
Time passed quickly and it went from afternoon to evening. Eagle noticed that Mads had already left and her animals and cryptic are now asleep. The boy with green eyes took one round and took note of every field and animal and cryptic in every field in the green section. "It is getting late. I will explore the rest of the fields outside the green area tomorrow". Eagle headed back to his unit running up the stairs rather than using the lift. He spotted Mads chatting with Jake and Tomi and realised that the petite brown haired girl's unit was not far from him. The three of them were too busy talking and did not notice Eagle (or so it seems to him) who did not bother to greet them not wanting any trouble with the tall brown haired boy who was his former best friend.

The Guy Who Wanted To Talk To Aliens
What if I told you aliens were real? Would you believe me or just laugh at the ridiculous statement that I just proposed? This is my story of how I came in contact with a group of interdimensional aliens.WARNING: PLEASE READ WITH AN OPEN MIND.
8 181A World With or Without Aliens
Nothing matters. It's not my opinion, it's a scientific fact. This is neither good nor bad, it just... is. I watched my entire country burn, fried on a patriotic pan after some jerk fired a bunch of nukes at the docile fleet of alien ships hovering over us. Who gave this moron such power? I don't know. Everyone involved is most likely dead by now. As for me, I can't die. I feel pain like a normal person would (I think), but no matter how terrible the conditions, I will never die or pass out. Fortunately, a lot of alien technology survived its crash to Earth, so I get to spend some time playing with it until Mr. Author gets bored and decides to screw up my life. Beware, this has a "harem" tag. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm the main character and am therefore subject to this novel's timeline. While this bars me from the sweet ignorance of Chapter 1's me, it does have other perks... for example, I can tell you that heroine number one is personally responsible for kil-!? H-hey, back off! I'm your character, so if you didn't want me to be like this, then you should've written me differently! Randomguy here! In all seriousness, this novel is meant to explore the concept of nihilism as a post-apocalyptic/supernatural-scifi/satire told from a nihilistic introvert's first-person perspective. As you heard from my unsettled main character, each heroine is going to be a different type of horrifying socio/psychopath with dark motives and dangerous abilities (most of which are psychological). Why would I do something like this? Because I am, in reality, a nihilist who is often frustrated by weird things, like unrealistically dramatic stories, the industrialization of art (specifically music), and people who think swimming in brown creekwater for five hours is a "fun" activity. Don't get me wrong, neither me nor my character are depressed, we're just malcontents who make a lot of nerd references. I feel like the true essence of an "everything is worthless" perspective is lost on most pop-culture figures. The closest character I can think of at the moment is Rick from Rick and Morty, who is a drunk, angry nihilist that experienced tremendous loss. I, personally, find this belligerent state of mind to be very relatable, and have incorperated it into every chapter's introduction. Here, the main character talks directly to the reader (and me), shamelessly complaining about some semi-relevant facet of society, which probably doesn't make much sense... it's not really supposed to, though. These "angry nihilist" moments are just a peak into the main character's everyday existence, and also act as miniature rage-journals for me. It will sometimes take a subjectively 'positive' turn, but not very often. This is because reality isn't good or bad, "it just... is". I will eventually bring it full-circle to optimistic nihilism, since that seems to be a more practical way to live (and by "practical", I mean "doesn't create mental health issues"). It is, of course, a satire. I did this because most unnecessarily emotional moments or people usually make me feel kind of awkward, so I decided to mock them. That is, I plan to mock the characteristics about them I don't like in characters based solely off said characteristics. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my story!
