《New World - New Beginning》Chapter 3: Arriving in Torata.
Advertisement
While I was in free fall, I got to thinking about what I should do once I'm in AETHER; I mean, it's not like I was particularly good at anything; all I did was work at my little mobile food stall Monday - Saturday, then I go to the gym and then to my apartment.
That's how monotonous my life was; now I have to find a way to live in AETHER; seriously, I thought it (heaven - paradise) would be a place to live with peace and no worries. I wonder what the reason behind this change is.
Well, I better not think about that; it's not like it's a bad thing either; in fact, I find this new world a bit fun, but I still have to figure out what I'm going to do.
I should try to be a salesman, a pharmacist, or redo my food stall.
No, first you should get information about the place, what is in demand, and the best jobs. It's like the orphanage lord used to say, knowledge is power.
As my thoughts wander more and more, my sight notices a white light below me, looks like I'm already going to get to AETHER, well, the new world here I come.....
A moment.
I'm fucking falling! I've been falling for how long; my bones will break from the impact. Do you think I'm made of rubber? I'm not like Luffy, pair of retards!
My screams resounded while I was falling; when I finally reached the end, my legs touched the marble floor with force; curiously, I didn't feel pain; maybe it was because of the adrenaline?
While I began to question why I noticed that a man in a white robe with red suspenders slowly approached me, I think he was about 50-60 years old, but it did not seem that his physical condition was terrible; he even looked healthy.
When I noticed, this man approached me with a calm smile, as if this was something routine and nothing out of the ordinary.
What a landing, it's been a long time since anyone has come to the sanctuary like that.

With a bit of surprise, I answer him.
Eh? and how do people usually arrive?
They walk, or sometimes they jump, but they rarely fall from above because it is very embarrassing to fail and not land on your feet.
The man laughs and remembers how I got here, shit! It's not my fault; that guy just sent me this way. I want to tell him, but I doubt he'll believe me.
Anyway, what happened to you? Did you lose to a boss, fall from a great height, or did something strange happen?
The man asks me as if it were something typical, so I explain.
No, I just died and was sent to this place.
Really? Well, let me welcome you to the town of Tata. Usually, the residents that come from the earth revive in the big or small cities, towns like this one only receive people that have died in the surroundings, rarely people of your type come here. That doesn't change the fact that I'm a bit lost. Could you give me some guidance or information to help me? Sure, there is not much to do around here; by the way, my name is Erick Nabisco. Nice to meet you; my name is Marco Diaz, and excuse me if I am a little rude; I don't know the manners of this world. Erick Nabisco: Hahahahaha, no problem, actually the manners are the same as when you were on earth, there are some idioms for some situations or objects, but almost everything is the same. Thanks for the tip; by the way, can I know how old you are? You look about 50-60 years old, but you seem to be full of energy. Erick Nabisco: Well, I stopped counting a long time ago, maybe I am 500 or 1000 years old, and the reason for my appearance is that when I died, I was around that age. What? And why are you overflowing with vitality? Erick Nabisco: One, I stay in shape, and two, I am immortal just like everyone else. ..... I'm lost; when I read the "TUTORIAL", it said I should live as I did on earth; it didn't say anything about becoming immortal, although thinking about it, I should have known from the way it described this world. Erick Nabisco: Hahaha, it's normal; when I came to this world, the same thing happened to me too; everyone is immortal and at the same time not; there are things that you will have to discover on your own. Ok, leaving aside the immortality thing, what should I know about this world. Erick Nabisco: Let's see where to start.

We start walking and talking with Erick about the world of AETHER. And as we start talking, I begin to put together an outline of how this world is run in my head.
It turns out that this world is more extensive than I thought it would be; in my head, I thought AETHER was the planet, and it was divided into seven or eight continents, but it turns out I was wrong.
AETHER is not the name of the planet but the universe; that makes some sense. There are many humans on earth. It is estimated that 7 million people die; if we count the deaths in past eras, that gives an astronomical result. The resources that would consume would be catastrophic for a single planet to withstand.
There are many planets, and each one specializes in different creations or resource exports, but the main ones are 5:
Planet Unity: It is the one I am on, and it specializes in the export of energy stones; it is also in charge of recharging them with electricity. It is governed by the first humans and fereos, which are a kind of anthropomorphic animals. Planet Machine: It is responsible for exporting mineral type materials, also creates all kinds of alloys or machinery, is the favourite planet for all blacksmiths, here is ruled by the dwarves and elves. Planet Nature: It is in charge of exporting all kinds of fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices; here, it is ruled by elves and fairies. Animal Planet: It is more a planet governed by nature; no one controls it because it is impossible to do so; here, you find beasts of all kinds, from regular to terrifying, there are no records of the terrain because it changes randomly, but it is a better place to farm all sorts of materials. Nexus Planet: It is the connection point with different planets and particular areas, it is more of a border, but it is bustling. An unknown being controls it.
You should keep in mind that this world is ruled by royalty, but with the difference that it is democratic because if you listen to the people, I guess it is made this way to avoid corruption and anarchy.
He also told me that we could only have a maximum of 4 active skills, either type (Attack - Defense - Buff - Debuff), something like in Pokémon where you can only use four skills, with the difference that some can evolve as your domain increases, even so, we can have an infinite amount of passive skills, the bad news? Well, these are not easy to obtain.
Another issue is that you must choose wisely your profession because each one has its pros and cons, plus they have different branches.
Learning about all this, I realize that there is no free lunch. I guess the world wants me to strive to be someone in life. Well, let's take it one step at a time.
As I process all this information, we come to what appears to be a guild.
Erick Nabisco: Well, we have arrived. What are we doing here? Erick Nabisco: You can not enter other towns or cities without identification, so let's register you. Don't worry; you only register as a citizen; you must pass a test if you want to be an adventurer. Ok, anything else I should know? Erick Nabisco: Not really, go to the window and tell them your situation, well I have to go, I have to take care of other matters, see you later. See you!
After saying goodbye to Erick, I stand in front of the guild's wooden door; ok, everything starts here.
Meanwhile, I open the wooden doors, ready for anything.

Here's a fact about humans: They are intelligent, versatile creatures with a tendency for murder and vice. Zeta, a swordsman from a villa at the summit of Greenwich Mountain, has heard many stories about the "Sigma World," the colloquial term for any and all things superpowered in the world. He's also heard of the many tragedies, as well as the many wonders humankind has created in its history, even if he has yet to see it in person. Following the philosophy of his teacher, Gin Kagan, Zeta intends to become a "Servant of Humanity," in an endeavor to protect mankind from its gravest threats, from power-hungry sigma-users, but most importantly, from itself. He's going to need a lot of allies to pull that off, even if he doesn't understand that just yet. This story is originally published at www.sigmacentral.wordpress.com.
