《New World +》Ch.26 A Simple Moment
Advertisement
Leaving his little hut Andrew walked out in and experienced what he could only described as culture shock as he watched the rapid and chaotic movements going on around him. He understood immediately why he was able to have his own house even though there were sure to have been many injured from the dragon attack. all around him where huts organized and well made with hanging gardens on them and around them there was even a rudimentary road of packed dirt slightly elevated and leading to clay troughs that lead to the many gardens and wells around the newly made town.
"How did all of this get made in three days?" Andrew felt flabbergasted as he looked around moving out of the housing area he moved to what he thought was the fields and was equally surprised by the fairly large fields and the large river that ran parallel to them it seemed that the town proper was about half a mile out from the river Andrew figured it was a measure against flooding. Moving down to the river and the fields around it he saw some people fishing by the river.
"How's it going catch anything wait is there even anything to catch?" Andrew asked as he grew closer walking up to greet the fisherman Andrew recognised Lance and Daved as well as Kyle how Andrew hadn't seen much of since that first day.
"Holy shit!" Kyle shouted as the three noticed Andrew approach "He's alive!" Kyle's loud exclamation got him a slap from Daved.
"Shut up man you'll scare the fish away." Daved hissed out as Lanced started to elbow his side, grumbling Daved took something from his pocket and gave it to Lance before turning his attention back to the river.
"Do I want to know what that was about or not?" Andrew asked as he sat next to the three of them.

"Probably not" Lance answered as he counted out what Andrew now saw was monopoly money.
"Don't you guys have better things to do then bet on people's lives?" Andrew asked sighing as Lance shrugged to answer "Honestly I don't know what to be more upset about that you only bet fifty bucks or the fact that you even have fifty bucks in monopoly money means that someone in our group has the kids version of monopoly."
"if you want something to really be upset about, how about the fact that people brought string and hooks but no one has a fishing rod. You can make string and hooks out of almost anything trying to make a good fishing rod from sticks and rocks is like ... well I don't really know what its like but its not pleasant that's for sure." Daved muttered angrily.
"What's his problem?" Andrew whispered to Lance.
"Hasn't been his day for catching fish if you get my meaning." Lance whispered back "Also he's down fifty bucks thanks to a cuerten adventures cripple, got to hand it to you though even I figured you'd be out for another day or two glad I low balled ..." Lance stopped half way as Daveds elbow landed heavily in his stomach. "Motherfucker why!!!" Lance choked out as he clutched his gut.
"That's not a funny joke." Daved replied.
"What joke!" Lance yelled.
"How are you holding up Andrew no pain I hope." Daved continued ignoring Lance as he did.
"Not bad hand still burns but that's going to go away supposedly." Andrew replied while waving his stump.
"OH right the hand sorry man." Lance apologised as Andrew shrugged it off.
"By the way why are you fishing out here like this wouldn't it be easier to just make a fish trap and then come back in a few hours?" Andrew asked trying to divert the topic.

"No they have those set up a whiles down for here were doing this for the fun of it." Daved Answered the question as he picked up one of the poorly made fishing rods and cast it's line back out into the river.
"I see." Andrew said as he turned a questioning eye to Lance that had just smacked his hand in to his face.
"So are they normally this dense or are they just in rare form today." Kyle asked Lances how simply shaked his head Daved almost always Andrew usually keeps on his toes maybe to on his toes?"... "Hey Andrew are you air headed?" Lance asked Andrew turned and glared at Lance as the boy tried to explain himself "Well you know what I meant when I said he had trouble fishing didn't apply to this right?"
"Yes I'm not an idiot." Andrew replied still glaring.
"Oh well why did you ..." Lance started before being interrupted.
"Because I wanted to know I can be curious about actual fishing you know." Andrew finished Lance just had a confused look on his face but shrugged it of. "Any way I wanted to know whats been going on in town while I was gone how did everything get to this level so quickly?"
"It's not that surprising I could just say magic but I think you'd probably hit me if I did still its not a really bad explanation using the magic circle that Lee pieced together and the magic stones that can be mined in the mountains constructing things is much easier and goes by much faster the first day you were out Lee and some of the others tried a bunch of things and the next day we were using them to build shit you should see the furnaces they've made for when we find iron it's pretty crazy." Kyle answered "Honestly I don't even understand half of how it works but apparently not knowing something isn't a limiting factor I think Lee compared it to flying or riding a bike people don't really understand why it works just that it does get it?"
"Probably." Andrew answered with a shrug. "But you answered more than I asked there." Andrew finished as he got up and started to walk away.
"Hey were you going." Daved asked as Andrew started to move.
"To meet with Lee he probably has more answers then you three stooges do." Andrew aswerd
"Well if you meet with Don tell him I would like to talk with him when hes got the time ok? Daved asked Andrew nodded in reply before walking off again.

A Martial Odyssey
Our community discord. With one step, an ocean is crossed. With one swing, an immortal is slain. Grisla Orlith's name has been in contention for centuries; millenia. Has he ever existed? Is it true about him? They hear of the future, but they don't know his past. Assumed as a genius from heaven, a warrior without peer. But back then, from those that knew of him... only saw a worthless boy. [Adventure, Wuxia, Martial Arts, Fantasy] For those not in the know, this is a book with some western and eastern fantasy sprinkled in. This is a work coming from someone who's a long time fan of the genre and would like to add my own flavor and spin to it, and I particularly dislike the shallow xianxia characterization and development. To counteract that is about eighty percent of the reason I'm writing this. The beginning might be a slow burn but I promise I'm bringing up some awesome scenes and moments once you're invested. Again, this is not some fast food xianxia. But I can say that as a lover of the genre I won't be completely shying away from the stuff that got myself hooked into it in the first place. DISCORD NOW AVAILABILE!

Draugr Cell //Layer 01-- Investiture:
With the end of the only war to ever reach mainland Australia I found myself living out of a small room in an old military compound that had been handed over to the jurisdiction of the Department of Veterans Affairs. The end of the war, unfortunately, didn't mean the end of hostilities. The terrorism trend that had started back in the early 2000's with the attack on the world trade center over in America, had spread to just about every country on the face of the planet. Over time the constant threat from various groups meant the civilian police force was quickly undermanned, under equipped, and overwhelmed. They were simply unable to respond to the daily threats in any reasonable time frame, and in many situations lacked the both the skills and equipment required to deal with the threats to put them down in a 'safe' and expedient manner. Veterans of the war that were being reintegrated into society however, were just about everywhere, all the time. We have the training and the skills required to deal with just about any threat you care to mention, all we needed was access to the equipment to do so. In a world first, under the new Veterans program, the Australian government had taken the rather controversial step of allowing specifically selected veterans to go armed in public. Sure, with Australian weapons laws being very, very strict there were a number of hurdles to get over first, but that's where the selection part comes in. Tangentially that's actually how I met Brianna, my current partner. We work as ringers in Victory City, I thought being thrown into imptomtu combat operations and risking my life on a daily basis for barely livable wages was excitement enough. Then I met her... it... I don't know. An AI unlike anything else out there has wedged itself into my life and decided it needs to... look after me. What could possibly go wrong? **** This is the first book I have released, and my first entry into a cyberpunk universe. There is minimal drug use, a fair amount of sex, a bit of gory violence, and a sultry AI that has decided the main character needs a harem.
