An electronic sign sparks,
Caution Active Highway
It says, the words on the LED screen flashing on and off,
The highway is anything but active however, rows of cars pile the streets in a long line all empty…..
Fwoo~.
A soft breeze brushes past my face,
It smell dense and poisonous that I’m sure if my human body were actually here it would have died instantly by the toxic air,
..
Blamm!
I touch a car and its door immediately falls off; this causes a chain reaction that makes the entire vehicle fall apart
(They must have been here for long)
The many buildings that populate this apparent city are all old and crumbly, I fear if I even touch a door one the buildings will start falling apart like this car
All the vehicles seem to driving out of the city however,
Like a panic was the air
(I wonder what happened here?)
The city doesn’t look damaged or attacked,
(I guess I’ll see where these cars are going)
….
….
As the view transitions from the numerous city structures and architecture into the broader highway, it becomes much less crowded,
The sides of the roads are large fields that probably used to be grassy, now they’re filled with sand,
The sky above I hadn’t been pay attention to since the city was still well lit, but out here it’s dark,
Not dark as in night
There are no sun, moon or stars when I look up
Just black
……
……
Now Leaving Eldorado City– Universal Space Station Up Ahead
I read from a traffic sign
It appears all these people were headed there…
(Why?)
…….
Bcrrrzzzt
Bcrrrzzzt!
Bcrrrzzzt!!
(Hmmm?)
Bcrrrzzzt!
One of the cars appears to still be running
Bcrrrzzzt!
Slam!!
I pull open the door and falls off, the rest of the car remains standing however,

Bcrrrzzzt!!
A screen on the dashboard sparks, flashing on and off,
Date: June 13/2723–Generation: 666
(The year is two thousand seven hundred and twenty-three?
What does generation mean?)
Time: ∞
(The time is infinite)
Bcrrrzzzt!
Bcccccrrrrzzzztttt!
The dashboard screen sparks violently as I reach out, before shutting off
(…..)
…….
…….
Continuing on the path of cars I now keep my ears open in case there are any other working vehicles
……
*****
........
The road gradually gets steeper over time, a vast view of sand can now be over looked from where I am
This appears to be a coasty area the sea however is now a desert
Nearing the space center the cars all have their doors swung open rusty keys and other deteriorating possessions litter the ground here
It is evident that the drivers got this close and abandoned their cars, probably frantically running into the space station….
The aforementioned station gates are wide open the cars blocking the entrance,
Bammm!
Bamm!!
Some vehicles fall apart as I squeeze paste them by the gate
A large tower of glass and steel overlooks the yard below,
To the back of the space centers yard is an empty runway,
Judging from the view this space center is at top a cliff side near what was an ocean…
….
Crunch♪
Crunch♪
My feet step onto the broken glass in the station’s entrance.
The glass doors most likely broken by a crowd people rushing in,
Grzzzt!!
The lights flicker
Walking past the empty reception are now empty offices and waiting rooms for civilians,
*Click*
I press at the elevator panel
(Obviously it doesn’t work)
Pingg!♪
The door does open, nevertheless
But it’s just an empty shaft,
(Up or down?)
….
(Who am even asking?)
“hyuh!”
I leap into the shaft

Falling…….
……….
……….
……….
……….
……….
……….
……All the way to the bottom
Thumd!
I land on my feet effortlessly,
(I should have gone up first if I knew I was going to end up so far below)
…..
(Then again, they always keep the secrets below)
Grrrrrrraaaaammmm!
Tearing open the shaft doors at the bottom I enter into a curious room,
It is lit up under a dark green light,
Universe Status
At the head of the room a screen still runs it doesn’t display anything except for a black space
(It’s so dark you wouldn’t even notice the screen was on)
Crcck♪!
I accidentally step on a headset,
The floor is littered with them…
(Headsets?)
They just lie there as if the people wearing them had suddenly turned to dust.
(So strange…)
…….
*Click-click-click-tap-tap*
I’m just pressing random buttons at this point….
…..
Beeeeooowwwp!
(And it seems to have worked)
Memory wave converter
The words flash on a screen now,
EHHHNNCCKK!!
Then it buzzes red
Satellites inactive: Unable to run conversion,
(So this was a control room to activate satellites that converted memories?)
…..
I pick up one of the headsets growing increasing curios
Yin
One side of the ear pieces has printed on
Yang
On the other
(Hmmmm
I’m guessing these aren’t for music…)
Placing it on my ears I–
–Aghhh!
Aghhhhkk!
The buzzing
Aghhhhkk!
It pierces stronger than ever before so much so that I can’t even move to take it off
My senses all my feeling disabled
Ahhcckkk!
Stop!
Beeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeep!
Assessing errors…
The buzzing gradually fades into a robotic voice
Errors assessed…..
Re-uploading missing data
(Re-uploading?
Wait, am I—

The Worldforge: Warlock Rising
Abandoned as an orphan, Mar was tested for magic by the Mages of Orelm and was found to possess immense magical potential, but when he grew old enough to start his training he found he was unable to cast so much as a single spell! Embarrassed by their mistake, the mages threw him in the library where he read books and tutored the mage students for a bit of money. All the while, he can’t help but envy the the students who are living the life he had so eagerly awaited. But when an object of great and malevolent power promises to make good on all the promises the mages broke to him Mar is thrust into the world of magic. Mar will find that fate had something more than a life confined to the library planned for him after all. Authors Notes: I consider this to be a comming-of-age Sword and Sorcery story based mostly on the style of classic western fantasies. So if that's your thing then I encourage you to take a peek. Something I want to mention though is that the main character starts of pretty wimpy, and that might not be your thing. That being said, if you stick with him he's got a long way to grow. Also, while this version of the story is meant to be fully readable, more dicerning readers may want to wait until I move out of rough draft phase. There may be some inconsistancies with character and plot while I am still in the rough draft phase. I'm sorry for this, but this is my first web novel and from what I've read the best way to get a good novel out is to write write write, and then edit ruthlessly after you're finished with the book, so that's the plan I'm going to follow. Again, this is a rough draft. Everything you are reading is subject to change, including the name, title, and cover photo. This may no longer be the case once I've decided I know where this fiction is going and I have a reasonable understanding of the characters and their behavior. You're reading what comes off my keyboard as it's made, with very limited editing. There will be mistakes in the text. I do a quick spell check to take out the worst of the errors, but there will be some I miss. You can point them out in the comments if they are particularly confusing or glaring and I will try to fix them, however I am not overly concerned about minor errors as this is not the final draft by any means.
