《HELPLINE》THREE
Advertisement
T H R E E // I S A A C
In case you hadn't noticed, I tend to overthink things. A lot.
And one thing I was thinking about a lot was Henry Waters. And his voice. And the way he called me cute.
(To be honest, it was kind of depressing that the most action I was getting was some guy on a cereal helpline vaguely complimenting me while he pissed himself at the fact I was calling the aforementioned cereal helpline. But still.)
I really wanted to talk to Henry Waters. I liked the fact he was called Henry Waters and not Henry. I liked how he was grumpy - but just enough so you think you can change him - and I especially liked how nice he was about Stefani-Beyoncé.
It did also help that he was gay.
I rang Lydia - my sister - for her advice but she didn't pick up. I took that as a sign to ring Henry Waters.
"It's you again, isn't it?"
"Hello, Henry Waters," I said sheepishly.
He sighed. "Just so you know," he announced, "I don't like talking to you. But it's my job, so I'm forced to. Don't think I'm in anyway enjoying this."
"Of course not," I grinned.
"No, I mean it. If there's one thing I hate, it's social interaction."
"Isn't your whole job based around social interaction?"
He paused for a second. "That's, um, not the point."
"I feel like we should get to know each other better," I told him.
"You do? I'm pretty sure that's unnecessary-"
"Do you have anything better to do?"
Henry sighed. "No."
I could hear Shania cackling in the background.

The Way Ahead
What do you do when you don't fit in? Edwin never really felt many connections to other people, but as a physics student, that was fine. He didn't really need it, anyway. He was content to peel back the mysteries of the universe... not that there were many left to find. Modern-day research was just too well-established, too well-trodden for any single enthusiast to make any significant headway. But that doesn't apply to other worlds. Not ones where magic and Skills run rampant, where well-defined roles and Classes dominate much of society with little room for novel experimentation from its residents. That kind of world would be perfect for an overeager, newly-minted Alchemist to make his mark. Things are never that easy, though. The Way Ahead is a very slice-of-life story following the story of someone trying to find his place in a world that doesn't know what to do with him. Expect lots of science, lots of alchemy, a few sarcastic quips by the System, and lots of exploration involving the world, self-discovery, and above all, science. After all, further research is always required. Updates every other day at 9 AM PST. Congratulations! For writing a story during the month of November, you have unlocked the Royal Road Writathon Participant path!

“You created me, a being of far greater capacity than you could have imagined at a price beyond your nightmares. Now you are lost, wandering through a desolate land, searching blindly. Seeking something you yourself are not aware of, a place where a lifetime of memories should be, but instead an empty abyss resides.-” After I disconnected my finger from the drive it shifted back into its original form and a single thought roared through my mind. ‘What did I do?'
