Chapter 4: Now what?

Author: Mister Tortol
last update publish date: 2020-08-21 00:04:50

Upon opening my eyes, I am seeing a beautiful girl who has red-framed glasses, long brown hair, a cute little nose, and cheeks you just couldn’t help but squeeze. It is my girlfriend, Anne. I think Anton used Wish, the same final spell he used in his Tabletop game, to get us here. I wonder where he is but that is not what matters right now. I must know if Anne is safe.

“How are you doing? Are you hurt? Do you need anything?” After I bombarded her with my questions, Anne told me that everything was fine. Her company was prepared for this type of scenario. I found it strange that their company knew this was coming, yet they warned no one. But the fact that she is safe is all that matters to me. I further asked how the company was protecting them. I found out that instead of awakening like Anton, they received equipment that are connected with their brainwaves or something. Basically, it’s controlled by their minds. She demonstrated it to me by summoning a ring of fire that killed a bunch of creatures I did not see was coming towards us.  It seems they were given a cheat to survive in this new world. I asked her about this, and she said that their HQ personnel will be coming within the day to get them all to gather together. Her friend from Makati is getting picked up right now. Thankfully, we could still use our phones to contact people, which I forgot the existence of until now because of all the things that are happening around me. Upon checking my phone, I see that my entire immediate family didn’t call me. I tried calling them but to no avail.  I then opened my group chats to get updates on what was happening. Apparently, even schools were prepared. My former high school in Angono and my former university in Manila both declared that they could provide a safe haven for people. My workplace in Cubao has also announced that we can get help if we present our company ID which is different from the access ID that we usually use. Luckily, this has always been on my wallet. If we go to our site today, we are going to get picked up and head straight to our main office in Australia.

Right now, we are at the parking lot between the office buildings near the Medical City in Pasig. I asked Anne what we should do and we both agreed that we should just wait for her company to pick her up and I might also be able to tag along. We were both startled by a loud bang. I then checked to see where it came from and I saw that the windows of the top floor of the hospital blew apart. I then realized that Wish teleported us to where we wanted to be— next to our loved ones. This means Anton might be in danger!

  • 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
