《Creating a world can't be that difficult, right?》Chapter 2
Advertisement
After Axel left the bathroom, he went to his bedroom and changed clothes. He decided to meet some friends at a cafe, and because his pajamas were not the best option, he put on a sweater and some pants and left his home.
Axel was 21 years old. He had black and short hair and was 1,75 meters tall. He lived with his parents, and because he had left college, it seemed like it would be like that for a long time. For almost a year, he had been at home doing not more than playing video games and going out with his friends. Even with all of this, he didn't see himself as a dropout and usually told himself that he would soon "begin to study again" or "start working in something cool".
Axel left his house and walked for a few minutes until he arrived at the cafe. He immediately saw his two friends sitting around a table when he crossed the door, so he walked until he was just in front of them and interrupted their conversation.
"Guys, I finally made it...", Axel announced.
"Did you get a girlfriend?!" Adam - one of his friends - asked.
"No, I didn't… I just…" Axel replied.
"Have you finally found a job?!" William - his other friend - asked.
"Shut up, I didn't get a job or a girlfriend, I started world-building," revealed Axel finally.
"And that's all?" William inquired, a bit disappointed. "Even a five-year-old boy can do that with the help of some tutorials."
"I expected some support from my friends, I guess I was wrong", Axel replied, while faking some sad faces.
"Well, tell us what you did with your world…" Adam said while rolling his eyes.
"Cool!", Axel exclaimed, and a smile crossed his face.

After that, he began to tell them how he had crafted an add-on and how its mechanics were supposed to work.
"Oh, so you decided to go on a non-human build", said Adam after listening to everything Axel had to say. "That can become pretty strong in later ranks, especially if you use some bloodline add-ons, so some cool hybrids can appear."
"I do not recommend you that, not at an early stage of development at least. Beasts are hard to control if they don't have enough intelligence, and they can become extinct if any race becomes so overpowered that it kills everything else", replied Adam.
"Well… I didn't decide to go with a non-human build. I did it like this to stimulate their growth. I thought that if humans were under constant threat, they would aim to become stronger by any means. At least that's what all the tutorials said", answered Axel growing scared.
"They say that, and it's true, but at a slow pace. You can't just force them to fight something that keeps getting stronger without providing them with any kind of power source from the start. That kind of strategy works well with game-like systems, but what you have described sounds like a poorly made cultivation system", explained William while taking sips of a cup of coffee.
"He's right. If you don't do anything, every human in your world will die, if they are not already dead. With the difference in time speed between worlds, if there wasn't anyone who was able to begin to cultivate, there is probably no hope anymore and you will need to recreate them from scratch. And let me tell you that that is a great pain in the ass", expressed Adam. "Maybe if you are too unlucky, even with cultivators, the humans will be doomed."

Listening to what his friends were telling him, Axel decided that if he didn't want his world to fall into chaos, he needed to interfere.
"I need to go to the bathroom, I will be back in a few minutes", said Axel while running out of the room.
When he arrived at the bathroom, he closed the door and sat on the toilet. He closed his eyes and put his fingers on his temples to concentrate on his world for the second time in a day.
When the image of his world began to appear in his mind, he found that most of the villages had been destroyed or abandoned, leaving only three bigger towns on three different islands.
Time passed faster there than in the real world, even when he was looking at it, so he spent a few days watching how those three towns were doing fighting the beasts, and, after seeing that they were not having too much trouble right now, he decided that he could leave them alone for now.
After those days where he saw some strange behaviors, he began to suspect that some people were trying to create some kind of training, and after looking at the core of the world, he saw that the rune of the add-on that he had created not even an hour ago had changed.
After seeing that, he stopped his concentration and his mind returned to the bathroom, not even a second after he put his fingers in his temples. He left the bathroom and arrived at the table again.
"How was that?", asked Adam.
"Everything is under control. It seems like cultivators have appeared in my world", responded Axel, smiling.

Beyond the Horizon's Eye
It is less than two weeks after the event known as the Flux Causality, and two days after the Grand Council has put forth the edict demanding the immediate retrieval and deletion of all Stringhoppers. Finding such Travelers, however, is proving more difficult than expected. A young boy and his sister find themselves violently taken from their world to another, and soon thereafter are forcibly separated. Now sold into slavery, the young man must find not only a reason to survive but a purpose to carry him home. The journey has just begun, and the hardest step is always the first one. ~ This is my attempt at both the Xianxia/Wuxia and Portal/Isekai genre of fiction that I love, and the means to provide a story set in such guidelines, while distancing myself from some of the more common tropes. I do hope you enjoy the story I shall endeavor to tell. ~ Average post between 1000 - 3000 words. This is a work in progress, and will be edited and adjusted over time. If you’re interested in something a bit more GameLIT, you might want to check out my second story on Royal Road, “The Dawnfire Archives”. My newest story is a combination of both genres, but with a female main character at the helm. Feel free to check out "The Card Thief of Culnivar"!

Wisdom And Wolf
When I was twenty one I bought my first motorcycle. My only motorcycle. A Harley Davidson XLX, Sportster. Her name is Rohdindae, it comes from the Silmarillion and loosely translates to Horse of the Silent Shadows. This two wheeled mare, of iron and steel, was my sole means of transportation for almost 5 years. Rain, sleet, snow, or hundred degree heat, it didn't matter, I was in the saddle. We went all over this side of the Mississippi together. To places long forgotten by progress or filled to their capacity with humanity. Interesting word humanity, it means all off human kind in one definition, generosity and compassion in another. How often these two definitions are at bitter odds with the other, is something to be seen. These words are a mash up. Tales of the road. The people I met, stories I listened to, and the loves I saw grow, all find themselves here, mixed within these pages. From Maine to Mobile and all the places in between, where people still, somehow, cling on to the good fight. The only fight worth fighting.
