Chapter 2: The light at the end of the tunnel

2020-08-21 00:03:40Being weirded out by what just happened, I asked, “What do you mean, Anton?” He then said to me that while strange creatures are spawning everywhere, something has changed in the world that isn’t so horrible. He explained to me that the humans, have a defense mechanism wherein we can turn what we thought of as fiction into a reality. Hearing his explanation gave me goosebumps. I have always been a guy in love with fictional stories from the fantasy stories of Anime, light and web novels, to the space opera of TV shows and games. Maybe I could be a Spellsword like in my fantasy games. Perhaps my inner self would rattle on about rebelling. Whatever the case may be, I can see that there is still hope somewhere out there in this lawless world.
Now, there is something that Anton could not tell me. How to activate this defense mechanism or this power he speaks of. He played a bit with his new power a bit, casting cantrips like a real Tabletop RPG Sorcerer. He enchanted my shirt with magic armor, my pants with shield, my shoes with misty steps, and my backpack... Well, he turned it into a bag of useful things, which can summon mundane items and supplies that would help me survive. I followed him around the town. He said that he would help me get back home. We walked invisibly with a force field around us to not be seen and our scents be hidden. It seemed cool while we were inside the condominium compound since there were only a few monsters around. Everything became scary once we stepped outside and then we saw a couple of people give up on life and let themselves get eaten by these small pink transparent blobs. We saw their faces melt off and dissolve and disappear in a matter of seconds. I talked to Anton and I convinced him to go to Medical City since my girlfriend and his girlfriend work near that area. Mine is in the business district while Anton’s girlfriend works as the director of the hospital. But before we could get there, we saw a couple of goblins trying to jump on a group of teenage girls. I saw that the goblins are starting to rip off their clothes. Before I could go on and tell Anton about what I saw, lightning already flew away from his hands, vaporizing most of the goblins. One of the girls got covered in an aura of flames and burnt the last of the goblins along with her companions. Upon seeing this, Anton and I looked at each other. It seemed like we were both thinking of the same thing; friendly fire is indeed possible with these new powers that people are getting. The girl cried loudly and jumped off the side of the road and into the Pasig River. I think she tried to kill herself by drowning but the fire vaporized that part of the river and covered her in a red fiery bubble. Seeing it because we were still invisible, I told Anton that saving the girl would be a hassle because we have somewhere else to be.
While we were walking towards Medical City around halfway through Jenny’s Avenue, I’m thinking to myself I’m lucky that I am with someone who you could call awakened into what could be a new world. Suddenly after a bit of walking, something came rumbling from the sky and it got dark.

Welcome to the New world Chapter 25: The Enemy of my Enemy
I am alone, hiding behind some trees near the dirt road; which can go up to a shining Church, or down to a stone archway that leads to nowhere. From my experiences with fiction it isn’t all crazy to think that the path that goes down in the middle of nowhere is the “main exit” that the guards were talking about, so I decided to go with the path that goes upward. Good thing, I still have with me the pen and paper that guided us to the portal which would help point to the location of Stephanie but would also hinder me if I pass through anyone and get found out. I must be smart in using this guide.I headed up to the trees nearest to the church building. I saw that the main entrance of the church building is being guarded
Welcome to the New world Chapter 24: Preparing to Jump
Son said, “That’s why I couldn’t track Stephanie's location. She isn’t in our world right now, but she also has not passed through the borders of the kingdom. She is inside this portal which leads to another dimension." Son paused for a bit to have a closer look at the portal and continued, "From its fluctuations, I think it’s an inferior dimension." Son explained that an inferior dimension is sort of a pocket space, similar to a demiplane. I then thought of its resemblance to the portal Anton made when we came across the vampire; only in this case, pocket spaces are much smaller, covering the size of a building or two at most. Before heading inside, we all prepared first. We asked Julian to guard the outer perimeter so that no one can interfere with us on the inside. Son handed me a piece of candy to act as
Welcome to the New world Chapter 23: Meeting the Pamangkins
Topher asked the kids, "Where is Stephanie? I thought you were all going to get here together. She said that she informed you all about her surgery being a success and wanted to party with all of you." The kids said that the last time they saw her was yesterday at Zack’s Beach House, Zack is the son of Dianne. Trevor, the son of Julian, replied with "We do know about her successful surgery. We partied yesterday at the beach house, Tiffany showed her a few moves, but then she said that she was tired and wanted to catch some sleep at home and left early." Two people interjected the words of Trevor, a teenage boy with a buff physique and a teenage girl with short hair who is also pretty fit. "Stephanie called last night and said that she came here, to her promised home and wanted to pull a prank on Paul, her uncle who stole this house from her," said the girl. "And then, she said that there was an accident. She sai
Welcome to the New world Chapter 22: Party Time!
After assimilating the book compiled on the Heavenly Way of Cooking Rank-1, I learned that cooking uses a lot of science. Perfect actions are needed and the fire or whatever materials you use also have to be perfect so that the full flavor of the dish comes out. Since the fire is too big for me to control, I decided to ask Max for his help. I asked him to control the way the fire spreads and how it would hit the pig. I am then in charge of maintaining a rotational motion of the pig that would complement the fire being spread on the open roast by Max. After four hours of focus on following the recipe and incorporating with it the Heavenly Way of Cooking, the result was delectable even just by sight and smell. The Lechon had perfectly golden-brown skin with no cracks, boils, or blemishes, and because the skin had no cracks there is no oozing of its own juices but it’s all flowing in the meat inside. I believe that
Welcome to the New world Chapter 21: Exploring the township
When I woke up, it was almost noon. The past few days that I experienced were undoubtedly exhausting but now, I feel completely refreshed; absolutely better than what I felt for the past few days, or should I say years. I guess one reason for this is because I lost weight and became pretty healthy since I started cultivating my body with the use of the Heavenly Body Manual. There’s still some time before our party starts later at sunset. When I opened my window, I saw my backyard already being prepared by folks I don’t know. Max told me that earlier, Joyce came and ordered the people setting up for the party that there is no need to wake me up. The house AI pretty much obeyed her orders since she still also has ownership of the house. Yesterday, Joyce told me I could customize the
Welcome to the New world Chapter 20: Accepting a Trial Disciple
I suddenly heard a thud from somewhere in my mansion. It is currently the middle of the night. Since I still don’t have a new phone and there are no clocks in my room, I couldn’t tell the exact time. When I looked up at the sky, I saw two moons and the stars were bright. I guess in this new world, light pollution isn’t a thing. One moon looks like the regular one while the other looks like a red version of it, kind of like the phenomenon of the blood moon. That doesn’t matter right now. I have to find out who the intruder is. I summoned Max through our telepathic link, but he seems to be asleep. I can wake him up by jolting his soul, but I don't think there is a need for that since I'm not really sure if there is a danger present. If need be, I can just wake him up. We’ve both been through a lot today and I want Max to just rest. I went ahead and checked out the noise. Even though I don&r
