《The Legacy of Gilgamesh》Chapter 13 Life Is Wonderful
Advertisement
Rico walk around for a while, this world was truly peaceful.
However, looking at the empty earth with just wind blowing the desert sands, Rico felt something was not right, as if something was missing. He floated until he reached the edge of the continent. Staring out at the sea from the horizon, Rico knew what was missing: life. He understood that life was needed.
"Yes, life!" Rico exclaimed.
Although he had created the world, it was empty of movement, with nothing containing life, not even microbes. A world without life was an incomplete world, because the ultimate goal of creation is life, and that's what Rico believed. With life, the world would be colorful.
After recognizing the problem, Rico promptly thought of a solution: to acquire seeds and place them in his world, as well as animals and insects. And for the sea, the plants and fish would not be a problem considering the cost of fish eggs and his savings. He could even take sample from the Cradle and mix them into the mix, but he wanted this world to be untouched by the Cradle crazy inhabitants.
Following this plan, Rico bought tons of plant seeds, including flowers and trees from all over the world, from the famous cherry blossom of the east to the age-old coconut tree. This kept him busy for several days.
Although Rico had worked remarkably beyond his limits to make the world colorful and leave the stage of desolation, it became apparent that this was a difficult project from the start, since he lacked experience in literally being a God. After he poured the seeds all around the continent and seas, only some of the seeds had grown sprouts. It would take at least months or even decades for them to grow up fully. To reach a large enough quantity to achieve world domination would take several centuries.

Even compared to the size of his home world, this world was double the size of the earth, the number of plants now would only make the world have a tiny green spot from space. His original goal of cramming the whole world with life was not looking too great.
If this trend continued, even if Rico exhausted his entire life farming the seed, he could at most give a mark of life to an area of tens of kilometers in diameter.
This world was different from the Cradle which is like the moon to the sun, time flow slowly in this world.
Faced with this situation, Rico suddenly thought deeply, since he could set the rules of this world, why couldn't he speed up the time with Origin so that one earth day would be countless years inside his world? In this way, the world inside could quickly become vibrant and spread on its own.
Rico tried it first and found that his idea was feasible. However, doing so would consume a lot of Origin. But the level of consumption was still within Rico's acceptable range as the input of Origin would be more than the consumption.
Now that the idea was feasible, Rico's mind was soothed. He then desperately started speeding up the time flow of the disc world from one-hundred to one, to one-thousand to one and even finally to ten-thousand to one and was at the end of his reasonable range.
In this way, one day was equivalent to more than 30 years in Rico's world, and so almost a year had passed in the past hour after going back home.
However, the disc world did not become as vibrant as Rico had thought. Most of the seeds thrown in before had died. Only an insignificant part of them survived, and the forms of these surviving plants were not the same ason the earth.
"They must have mutated to survive," Rico thought. At first, Rico didn't know the reason for their death. After studying them for a while, Rico learned and concluded that the cause of death was because the ecosystem within was not perfect for the seeds and they needed the right climate. So Rico then started to...

Fantasy World Epsilon 30-10
New Dive Assignment: 0B5 Personnel: Citizen of Gamma G-037-072 Jonathan Kelly World Designation: Epsilon H-037-072-030-010 Classification: Pre-industrial Exotic World, significant outliers in biosphere including atypical flora and fauna. Quarantine protocol in effect pending more data and acclimation testing. Further anomalies include populations of morphologically distinct humanoids, and aberrations in otherwise normative physics laws. Causal chain appears provisionally stable. For the purposes of delaying onset of collapse as well as above mentioned factors, only one subject is cleared to Dive. Initial mandates shall proceed with scouting and surveillance. Further details are classified. Warning: All other qualifying personnel are currently dispatched. Refusal will result in deployment delays and possible unsupervised causal decay. Do you wish to accept this assignment? Note to Readers: This is not MC isolated in a new world. This is new world joins the multiverse. What I'm tentatively coining Subverted Isekai (Formerly I used 'reversed' but, as pointed out, that would be fantasy MC goes to the modern world. Hey, there's idea! Not this book though.). There is plenty of scientific and philosophical stuff; I know that can be a turn off for some. It has a strong bearing on the story, but is mainly covered in the 'Comments & Calculations' section (optional reading of course). If you are looking for an extreme suspension of natural laws with no technical considerations, you will not find it here. Formatting Notes: Audio chatter from characters that are not currently in the scene I format in "inverted commas and italics". Given the layered nature of modern communication, I thought this distinction was best denoted visually in my prose. Critique is welcome. Language Notes Jon is a South African ex-pat. As such he will use some Afrikaans colloquialisms plus a dash of Japanese. Most importantly he says “Ja” meaning “Yes”. Pronounced with a J sound like “yo” and an A sound like “bar”. As in: “Yo, let’s go to the strip bar.” “Ja.” And not the Rastafarian /jya/. Other words: Nee - /niya/ : no Juffrou - /yif-row/ : Miss Lekker - /lacker/ : nice, good, delicious Nooit - /noit/: never The rest is mostly swear words. Indisputably the most useful words in any language and simultaneously holding the least innate meaning. Fok - “fork” without the “r”: fuck Bliksem - /Bluksim/: darn, damn. Also common noun meaning damn person or thing. Donner - “Dorner” without the “r”: originally meaning thunder, can also mean darn or damn. It is often used as a verb meaning: ‘to hit hard’ Kak - /kuck/: shit Voetsek - /foot-sack/: go away

Nights of Sambria: And the Wish of Light
“I discovered a secret. One I desperately wish could have stayed hidden. It was locked away, concealed in a fantastical world on the doorstep of 7 billion people who stayed utterly oblivious to it. If they will be spared the terror that is coming, I can’t begin to imagine. Know that a forgotten heritage of a dwindling people whispered, unknowingly sending a call to the ancient mysteries of the world. Something listened. And now events are set in motion that could force the earth on a course of terrible change. I am being hunted and have run out of time. There were no stories about it. No legends. Not even scribbles. Yet, the threat of it is real and that’s why I’m writing this warning with shaking hands. So pay attention those who read this, be careful of what lies waiting cloaked in the darkness. That which made their home the lost places of this world.” She folded the letter with a shuddering breath and stared back in the direction from where the noise reverberated through the halls. It was of stone doors shattering one by one. The chances of getting out safely were all but gone. The letter in her hand was all warning they would have. It dropped into one of the Wells and all that could be done now was hope it was found in time, if at all. -- This was my very first large story. ;) I started writing it years ago. Was fun, was difficult, but in the end, it is a story I hope that will inspire. The prologue is in first person perspective and the rest of the story in 3d. Just a little heads-up :P It is a fantasy epic with a contemporary twist for the start. The first arc of the novel is set inside our modern world, but as the mysterious events around Calin intensifies, the hidden secrets in the world start to become more fantastical. The story follows Calin, a young orphan in search of answers. But, the answers he seeks will change his life and that of his friends forever, for the secrets that caused his situation have far greater ramifications than the small village of Lamb's Crest could have known. Remember to leave ratings and reviews. I'm quite interested in hearing your thoughts on the story. ;) Enjoy reading, Omri Hope
