Advertisement
In 2022, at Tokyo, Japan.
‘Hirohashi Takafumi’ a businessman who is in his middle thirties, wearing grey suit, thin, neat black hair, and black eyes. He walked into small building, there were 3 floors, the location of HT Entertainment company, the famous game development company in Japan.
“The rank of ‘Zombie Detector Shooting’ was increasing yesterday,” said Yoshida, a secretary who is in her late twenties, long black hair, black eyes.
“Please make an update report of sales amount, we will discuss in the meeting this afternoon,” Takafumi said.
Takafumi has started game development since he was 19 years old. He likes to play games, read comics and novels as his hobbies. He is a genius and talent in computer program, he had succeeded on his first game development called ‘The Phantom Venture’ at the age of twenties two. It had reached to the top 10 of sale ranking in a month, the sale amounts has reached to 100 million yen within a year. He has established ‘HT entertainment company’ after he got high income, he was developing many games and expanding his business until now.
Takafumi did not success in his love life like his company, more precisely, he never care about love life. He is a single, he was working nonstop after he established his company, and he sleeps only 2-3 hours a day. He has never been in romantic relationship likes others. He is one of ordinary man, his appearance is one of average guy, plain and not outstanding enough for any women to approach him first. He loves and cares his job more than anything.
The clock passed midnight, Takafumi is working and planning for the next game development. Suddenly, he felt dizzy and lost his consciousness…
Takafumi opened his eyes, he was in a small dirty room without any window. He felt pain in his body. He remembered that he felt dizzy after he has worked nonstop.
He has confused, he did not familiar with this room. He thinks hardly, ‘did I sleepwalking?’ ‘Where is this place?’.
He went to the door and tried to open it, but the door knob was higher than usual. He looked up, the floor ceiling was so high, he felt strange with the room size. His eyesight was more clear and adjustable with the darkness.
“Eh?” He asked himself after he saw his hand clearly. “Why is my voice sound likes a child?”
He observed around the room but found nothing. The room is small, dirty, musty, there are a lot of spider web.
Takafumi thought to himself, ‘What’s happened to me?’ ‘Why I’m here?’ ‘It’s not my body, right?’, a lot of questions exploded in his mind.
He opened the door but it locked. He knocked the door to make the sound, ‘Knock’ ‘Knock’ ‘Knock’. He said, “Hello, somebody here? Please help Me! Hey, Anybody…” He tried to ask for help but there was no one around.
Takafumi sat on the floor, felt hopeless for a while. ‘Tap’ ‘Tap’ ‘Tap’ he heard footstep near to the front door. ‘Click’ ‘Click’ the sound of unlock the door. The door opened, a man in his middle age, big, high muscle, tall, skin head, he looked like European, he has many scars on his face and body, well train body like military. He came closer and pressed Takafumi on the floor.

“Hey, what are you doing? Oi,” Takafumi asked but no answer. Another man in his middle thirties, lean muscle, short brown hair, he looked like yakuza in European version. He put a collar on Takafumi’s neck, and shackle on the wrists.
“Hey, who are you? What you are going to do with me?” Takafumi asked them again.
“Shut up! You want to get hit like before?” A man, yakuza-like, has shouted angrily. He sworn irritatingly after he walked out of the room.
A big guy was taking Takafumi out of the room, they walked to the front door.
Takafumi felt pain, the entire body was aching. It had high possibility that the owner of this body got the severe hit.
Takafumi thought to himself ‘If I assumed that both of myself and this child have died at the same time and I was reborn or reincarnation like many novels that I have been read…’ He tried not to believe but the situation has led to that way, ‘Should a god or someone else explain something to me?’ a lot of question exploded in Takafumi’s mind. He had no choice but to follow the bad guys and observe the situation around him.
A big man was taking Takafumi out of a small house, it looks like a shabby house in the forest. It was dark outside, Takafumi saw that they have total of 6 men, including 2 men that locked him and taken him out, they were arming, they looked likes mercenary in many comics.
Takafumi thought that he might be reincarnated in some kind of fantasy world.
A big man took him into a carriage which completely cover.
Takafumi thought of jumping out on the way but he had to give up because a big man got in the carriage and sat near him.
Takafumi prayed hardly inside his mind, ‘God…you can’t punish me in this way. Please help me!’
Takafumi heard only sound of horses running, they were riding the carriage for a while.
Takafumi thought to himself, ‘What will happen to me?’ ‘Why this child got kidnaped?’ ‘I hope that it was just a dream’ a lot of question still exploded inside Takafumi’s mind.
An hour passed, there was sound ‘Crack’ the carriage was stopped.
“We got attacked” One man shouted. “Ouch” “That way, the arrow came from that way” They shouted. A big man got off the carriage. Fighting sounds were louder and continually. Takafumi tried to get off the carriage and see the situation outside, he could not see anything from here, inside the carriage.
‘Bang’ there was a loud sound near the carriage before Takafumi could get off the carriage.
Carriage’s door opened, Takafumi saw a pretty woman, she looked like a model, long brown hair and tie up, her ears were v shaped and point up, armed with bow and arrows.
‘Oh...an elf, a real elf, god...I cloud die peacefully after I saw an elf’ Takafumi thought to himself, he has excited and completely forgotten his situation.
She came closer and unlocked the collar and handcuff out of him.
“Thank you. Who are you? Do you know me? I didn’t know why I got kidnapped?” Takafumi asked her politely.
she said nothing but raised her right hand on his head and then, he lost his consciousness…

Takafumi opened his eyes, he felt dizzy, his body was no more hurts but more comfortable. He was on a bed, he tried to gain his consciousness. There is no one around, he got up and observed a room. He found himself in a cozy house which built from woods, not big but felt warm. He was finding a mirror to check his appearance, but no mirror in this room.
‘Did I come to ancient time of the fantasy world?’ He thought to himself and looked at windows, it was higher than his body. He saw a chair, he thought of moving it and climb up to see his appearance on the windows.
A door opened, a woman elf came inside the room, her appearance looks like at age of forties, she was beautiful, she looked kind and warm.
“How do you feel? You slept for 3 days. They hit you hard but our elder healed you completely,” she asked and smiled kindly toward him.
“I’m feeling better. There is no more hurt. Thank you for taking care of me,” Takafumi said.
“Could I ask you something? I do not know who I am and why I got kidnapped. Actually, I did not know why I was in this body. Would you believe me, if I say that I’m not a people in this world?” Takafumi asked.
She was surprised and said, “All of the situation, Queen Agnes, The Queen of Magnus forest and the elders would informed you directly after you got better,”
“My name is Carina. Are you hungry? I will prepare a meal for you,” she changed the topics of the conversation.
“Yes, Err... Do you have a mirror? I would like to see my appearance.” Takafumi asked, he felt bashful of the question.
“We have mirrors and I will bring one after your meal.” She said and smiled.
After a while, Ms. Carina brought a meal set of bread and mushroom soup to Takafumi, it might be real that elves are vegetarian.
Takafumi ate mushroom soup first, the taste was delicious. He was relieved that he could eat it several time even it was vegetarian food. He enjoyed the meal and ate it quietly.
A door opened, a man elf came with a standing mirror. He placed a standing mirror on the floor, he said nothing and went out of the room.
Takafumi finished the meal quickly and hurried to go to the standing mirror. He saw a boy at his age of five, short black hair, blue turquoise eyes, he’s handsome even at young age. He was wearing plain white shirt and brown shorts. A boy has a mark on his back of right hand, Takafumi looked close up, it was a circle shape of dragon head with star shining icon, black, it looks like tattoo.
Takafumi would like to know more the reason why he was here, in this boy’s body. He wondered when he can meet The Queen of Magnus Forest and the elders.
Ms. Carina came back in the room.
“After Queen Agnes and elders knew that you have woken up, they set the meeting date at tomorrow morning. If you need anything, please tell me. I will come back again at dinner time. Please stay inside this house until you get the permission,” said Ms. Carina kindly.
“Yes, I will stay in this room. Thank you for everything that you have made for me, and please say thanks to everyone that help me on that day,” said Takafumi sincerely.
“Yes, I will pass your gratitude to them. Please take a rest,” said Ms. Carina, she smiled at him in a reassuring way and went out of the room.
Takafumi would like to see more of the surrounding area, he dragged a wood chair to the corner near the window. He climbed up on a chair to see the outside through the windows.
Takafumi thought to himself ‘Wow… I never imagine that I could see this kind of view in front of me.’ The scenery was incredible. He could see another treehouse on big olive tree, it looked natural likes it was growing up from the tree itself.
The house designed looked like fairy tales cottage house that had built from woods. At the right side; it had designed in circle shape with windows installed. At the left side; it had designed in rectangle shape, there are a front door at this side and porch in front of the front door, it has connected to the staircase which used for going up and down between the treehouse and the ground below.
Takafumi felt really amazed. The surrounding area were plenty of olive trees and the treehouses. The atmosphere was great and it would be the best place for vacation if it has located at his world. He was spending his time to see the scenery for a while, he has cleared up his mind and prepared himself for the upcoming situation after meet The Queen Agnes and elders tomorrow.
Takafumi thought of his past, he had no time to go on vacation after established his company, he only sleeps 3 - 5 hours a day. He might have died from hard-working and sleepless. He even had no time for his family. His parent are really nice, they always supports everything that he likes and whatever he do. They both are doctors, they have no problem of financial. It was thanks to them that he could work the job that he loves. He also has a sister, her age lower than him 6 years. We really closed when we were young. — He visited his family 2 years ago, he had no time to visit them last year because his business has peaked, he really busy at that time. His family has tradition of meeting on the new year eve every year, we are all busy but we have to meet on that day, likes family day.
Takafumi was really sad that he could not see his family before he died. He did not know that he will die at this age.
Takafumi thought to himself, ‘If I could turn back time, I would spend more time with my family. How do they feel when they found out that I have died at age of thirty-five? I felt deeply sorry for them. I have regret that I was hard-working, likes workaholic type.’ He was sad but It was too late for him to regret everything that he had neglected in the past.

Campaign: A Project Starfarer Sidestory
This novel’s lore, story and characters are entirely fictitious. Certain long-standing countries, institutions, organizations, agencies, and public offices are mentioned, but their histories and the characters involved are wholly imaginary. "What will you do with your freedom?"Growing up in a meritocracy, infamous for being lawless, Jordan Astros had been repeatedly asked this question, since times unmemorable. In a society where one's accomplishments and skills were tallied and ranked in order to determine one's standard of living however, Jordan quickly grew to understand that 'freedom,' was a reward earned by accumulating Merit. And so, after his 17th birthday, Jordan departed his Clan's habitat in orbit of Europa to embark on his century-long journey to rise from E-Ranker to S-Rank. And spread his name throughout the Galilean Powers. *** Campaign is a sidestory within its NanoPunk parent series, Project Starfarer. (Yet to be published. Be on the lookout for it!) In which the first transhuman known to humanity, the Starfarer, invokes a plan to seed terrestrial life throughout the galaxy. Campaign takes place around the middle of that timeline and explores the life of a key figure in that universe, Jordan Astros. And explores one of four great nations thriving in the Solar System during that time. A Meritocracy that spans Jupiter and its 79 moons, The Galilean Powers. What you'll find in Campaign: Brutal melee combat in airless and pressurized low gravity environments. A technology based progression system influenced by merit and accomplishments; using tech that's theoretically possible to exist in the near-future. An exploratory perspective of the dozens of Galilean societies, or 'Powers,' from Jordans; and sometimes others', POV. What you wont find: Romance. Harems. An MC who receives shortcuts, handouts, learns things unnaturally fast or has OP plot armor. Jordan is not a special individual. Jordan is not OP and he likely never will be. He's no different than any other citizen in the Galilean Powers and will certainly face as many defeats as he does wins. He'll suffer losses and grow as an individual, while the Powers evolves around him as well. This is semi-hard sci-fi/NanoPunk and takes place in a fictional version of our future solar system. Centered around technology that's plausible in the near-centuries to come. Everything abides by the laws of physics/thermodynamics (As best that I understand them, at least. I'm no scientist.) No artificial gravity, inertial dampeners, teleportation, FTL, or hand-wavy materials will be found in the Project Starfarer universe. Just advanced automation, nanotechnology, cybernetics and AI. Set in the backdrop of space. *I do not own the photo used for the cover*
