"Is that... Unus Town?" Alan asked, flabbergasted, as he gazed upon new, towering buildings that hadn't existed during his last visit. "It is," Smaio replied, directing the insect to take the road on their left and circle the outskirts. "I'm off to deliver the gloomshrooms. What about you?" "We'll be fine. Will you be okay getting back on your own?" "Yes, the weasenox only spawns once a day." "Drop us here then. And good luck." "Farewell, Users. May the Goddess Viola bless your path." "Do…

"Have you all evolved?" Alan asked as he followed the humanoid figures down the road. "That's a simple way to put it, yes. All thanks to Goddess Viola. Bless her." "Alan," Ashley whispered close to his ear. "That's the name of an administrator, Viola Lang." Alan did not respond, his expression turning into a frown. "Just a heads-up before we get there," the slime man said. "As you can see, we mean no harm. The days of fighting new Users are long gone. So please..." "We won't try anything…

As he adjusted to his new surroundings, a quiet voice called out to him, and a hand touched his shoulder. "Lan? A-an... A-lan." "That's me.... Am I... Am I in The Novus?" "Yes, Alan, we are." "Are we... in Unus Town?" "No, the system indicates we're in a place called The Renovatio Caves." "Aww, man, did we return to the very beginning of the world? I suppose it's understandable..." His partner remained silent as he sat there, squinting. His eyes widened, and his heart skipped a…

she responded, tucking a golden strand of hair behind her ear without glancing at the camera. Her innocent smirk made Alan chuckle. "Oh, Astrid, I promise to return to you... Just wait," Alan murmured, caressing the screen until something made him frown. The video showed Astrid constantly glancing to her side. "What's distracting you?" "She is looking at the interior of the neighboring stall," Isabella answered. "Would you like me to play the recording of that interview too?"…

"Here is another one," Alan announced to the hovering drone following him. He then crouched before an automaton sprawled on the floor, initiating a diagnostic check. "Looks like it'll need a new left arm. The battery is completely toasted, and the breastplate, despite some burn marks, is still functional." A self-driven cart approached, producing a clinking noise before opening a small drawer containing the requested battery. "Thank you," Alan said, retrieving it. Moments later, a larger drawer…

**AUTHOR'S NOTE ******** THIS IS A FREE, UNEDITED VERSION OF THIS STORY *** ** * A strong wave of motion sickness overwhelmed him instantly. He vomited, and the ventilator attached to his face swiftly sucked it up. A beeping sound echoed from inside his pod as a cloud of steam billowed out when the hatch opened. Disconcerted, he sat up and ran his hand through his hair, eyes shut. "I'm not in the Novus anymore..." He squinted as his eyes adjusted to the light, barely making out a round…

Once they reached the top of the hill, Astrid still had the energy to jump and twirl like a child. "See? I told you the view would be fantastic from here! Look at that clear blue sky and the super green fields!" "J-Just give me a moment, p-please." "Aha! I told you there was a river nearby," she said, beaming and stretching out her arms. "Come on, Alan, fill your lungs! The air smells especially good around here!" The panting Alan followed her gaze, finding a top view of the region. Apart from…

Although Alan and Astrid killed twenty of them, it was not enough. The ferocious creatures kept appearing, snarling with sharp teeth that resembled a creepy grin. Alan suddenly grabbed her wrist. There was an intense gleam in his eyes she had never seen before. "It's not worth it! We were totally not prepared for this! We'll call it quits for today, okay?!" Astrid first stared at the blood running down his forehead before nodding. "Let's make a run for it then! Follow me, I know the way!" In…
