《Grand Adventure》Chapter 1. Adventure to a new world
Advertisement
Aluzar was sitting in his baroque styled chair, while Kallad, the manager of earth, was standing respectively one meter away from him,
“ Lord Aluzar Refizul Hochstern, you're the last of your kind and the creator of creators, personally gave life to every species on this planet and it pains him, to see his creation suffering, from such trivial things, so he proposed that you should go to a new world, with swords and magic, were someone could become very powerful through hard work and efforts.”
Hearing this, Aluzar was intrigued and showed a polite light smile,
“ Very interesting, but that wouldn't come with a price, wouldn't it. ”
Kallads eyes widened and his face showed a smile,
“ It is as you guessed, it will limit your physical strength and mental capacity temporary, because we have to change your body back to a six year old child. Of course you will change back to your former appearance when you grow, naturally. ”
Aluzar sighed,
“ Haah, alright it's a small price to pay, being a child for a while won't affect my powers too much.
Now tell me, what is this new world with swords and magic.
The middle age looking Kallad, still having a smile on his face, continued,
“The World we will send you to, is in a different Universe, where infinite mana and elemental essences exist. The Planet is called Almastea and is two times bigger than earth and also has two moons. Almastea has four large continents, each in the size of Europe and Asia combined. The Residents of Almastea are humans and demi humans like beastmen, dwarves. elves, draconians, demons and there are ethereal beings called spirits.
Most of the lands are unexplored, except for some regions with small villages, towns and several kingdoms. They live in a medieval age, similiar to earth at that time , due to magical beasts and various monsters over there, many places are still undiscovered.”
When Kallad finished, his explanation. Aluzar broke into a mad laughter, like a child who found a new plaything,
“Hahahahahahahaha.....this is marvelous, but I have to inquire you, why me? Why have you chosen me? You should know I am, what the humans call, a monster. I can feed on blood and tamper with the minds of my enemies, an immortal abomination.”
With a chuckle, Kallad said in a kind voice,
“ Yes, you're right in the face of humanity in this world, you truly are a monster caged on this planet, it is really unfortunate for you and the answer for your question, why we chose you, is simple “He”, was bored. Just like you and felt something like “sympathy”, for Lord Aluzar and decided, to offer you this proposal.
Since the other Universe has no Administrator, it is supported by various gods and you can do everything you desire, over there and no longer endanger this world anymore, that “He”, loves deeply for being the the first thing “He” created.”
Receiving an answer like this was unexpected, but Aluzar couldn't care less. He wanted to go immediately, without further ado and asked with an indifferent expression, to hide his anticipation,
“When can i go.”
The Manager, upon hearing this reply, couldn't help but to smile brightly. He was overjoyed, it went as predicted and by finishing his task. He would be obviously rewarded, thus that made him simply happy.
“Since the concept of magic and mana doesn't exist here. We have to change your body to a child, so that your body will be able to adapt to the changes more easily, if not you would die of mana poisening and it will be more exciting for you like this.

When you have arrived on the other side, you will be able to perceive mana and manipulate mana at will, with constant training you will be able to perform spells in all affinities. Nothing will come for free and you will have to obtain it through hard work, but your racial traits and abilities as a supreme pure blood vampire won't be affected, however, your physical strength and mental capacity will be limited, because of your small stature you will have over there.”
Aluzar listened to Kallad very carefully, as he didn't wanted to be a victim of some huge fraud scheme and a small worry came up in his mind, thus he asked, “ Wouldn't the gods over there going to be really upset, when I turn their world upside down. I think I wouldn't be happy, when someone came to my place and started a rampage.”
Kallad, always having a creepy smile on his face, started to laugh and waved with his hands,
“Hahahaha....ehem, Lord Aluzar please don't worry about those beings, they are not even managers of a planet and have no permanent power, they rely on the faith of their believers and without any believers, they will return to nothingness and fall into oblivion.”
Hearing this truth from Kallad. Aluzar felt a little relieved, but he didn't made it visible for him. He always kept a calm and cold expression, though inside him, Aluzar had a hard time supressing his emotions of happiness, excitement and curiosity.
Just the thought of using magic got him almost jittery, because magic didn't existed on earth therefor most vampires relied on telekinesis and mind manipulation, trough thoughts, brainwashing the targets.
Aluzar, being the last supreme pure blood vampire had already mastered it, a long time ago. He could brainwash a whole country with his mind manipulation and lift a whole mountain with his telekinesis, without moving his fingers.
Since Telekinesis and mind manipulation, required a lot of mental concentration and a strong soul, most of the lesser vampires can't even imagine to exhibit such forces like Aluzar. He stands at the peak of this world and having absorbed the soul power of his comrades, when they went to their eternal sleep, made him unfathomable to predict how powerful he really was.
The long platin silver haired Aluzar stood up and anounced,
“ Well, when there is nothing more to say, I like to depart immediately, theres nothing holding me here.”
Kallad, still having his creepy smile on his face, replied with a chuckle and his hand wandered to his chestpocket, of his vertical, black and white, striped suit. Bringing out a black signet ring, on the signet stamp, gold flashed in the patterns of a shield crossed with a death scythe and a sword, above them a beatifuly engraved crown.
Aluzar easily spotted the ring and recognized the emblem. It was his emblem but what puzzeled him was, how they got that ring, that symbol should be long forgotten, though it was clearly in the vision of his eyes, before he could speak a single word. Kallad began to speak,
“ This Ring is especially created for you and if you wonder, how we knew about your coat of arms, you should have already grasped that “He” is omniscient.”
Aluzar closed his mouth and inwardly trembled in awe, thus came to an understanding how insignificant he was, in the face of the great creator of creators.
Kallad, seeing that he answered his question, smiled lightly and continued to explain,

“This Ring is a gift to you and it is an interspatial ring, with unlimited space, inside the space of the ring time is stopped, it can store almost anything you want, but living creatures are restricted from entering, it is bound to you and no one else can use it.”
Kallad handed the signet ring over to Aluzar and he inspected the marvelous engravings, in the shape of interwined clouds. The Ring is one of a kind, an unique artifact, created by the great creator of creators and it resonated with his soul in harmony. When he putted the signet ring on his right ringfinger, a bright light enveloped the entire body of Aluzar,
“What the hell is happening here !, damn it, you !, what did you do, whats going on !”
The shouting Aluzar gazed at the smiling Kallad, thereafter he replied in a calm manner and was obviously amused by Aluzars anxiety,“ Hahahaha, so you can show emotions, I wondered if you were an emotionless machine. Well, my work here is done and I wish you a safe journey, farewell and good luck in your new world.”
As Kallad conveyed his last words, he disappeared into thin air. The lights around him began to shine even brighter and formed a globe enclosing Aluzars whole body. The Globe of light slowly dissolved into tiny orbs, scattering to the ceilling of the room then vanishing into thin air, till nothing was left except for his elegant pitch black shirts, pants, underwear and shoes.
Deep inside a lush green forest, surounded by a tall mountain range, an eye piercing light flashed brightening the night, as if it was daytime and when the radiant light dimmed into darkness. A small figure of a child with long platin silver hair, reaching to his waist and crimson ruby eyes could be seen, his pale white skin shimmered in the dark. The Childs face was graced by a narrow snub nose, combined with his slightly slanted eyes and hardly noticeable pointed ears, covered by his hair, complimented his oval shaped face with his pointed chin, it made him breathtaking beautiful.
Aluzar looked around surveying his suroundings, trying to collect his thoughts ,thereupon, seeing his small body. He was seriously shocked, not believing his sight. He moved his small fragile looking hand in grasping motion, while studying his entire body. Learning that he really had become a child, he could do nothing but to accept this fact and muttered,
“He could have left me some clothes, that asshole.”
His voice was that of a provocative child and made him sound like an arrogant rich brat, if he weren't naked in a dense forest.The Young child closed his eyes and concentrated his mind and soul, lifting him above the thick trees with telekinesis, he opened his eyes, gazing into the dark vastness of the forest.
Aluzars vampiric vision made it possible for him to see in the dark, as if there was daylight. In addition he has superior eyesight surpassing a humans, allowing him to scan several kilometers ahead, but since his small body can't keep up with his overpowered abilities. He could only see a few hundred meters without sending his child body into overdrive.
He swirled around 360 degrees, while floating in mid air above the trees to capture every detail of his suroundings. He was searching for signs of civilization or something similiar, but unfortunately everything he saw was green trees as far as the eyes could see and they could see really far. He only caught glimpses of unknown giant beasts, but the huge trees, reaching up to about 200 meters, were blocking the view.
Aluzar descented back to the ground of the forest, a look of disapointment could be seen. He hoped, he could have found a small village at best a town but sighed,
“Haaah, how troublesome. Well, nothing comes for free and I think, thats the best way for me to kill my boredom. Let's see, the first thing to do is find me some clothing, but finding clothes in this wilderness is unlikely. The Only option is to make some clothes from animals, because I'm definitely not going to wear some weird ass flower outfit. So let the hunt begin.”
With a sinister smile, Aluzar finished his self dialogue. While living in seclusion on earth, he developed a habit of talking to himself, to fight his loneliness. But occasionally some unlucky humans wandered around ,or were lost, in his forest. He would hunt them down without mercy and instilled fear into them, sometimes luring them into his mansion and torture them for months ,or even years, he loved to see the suprised expression and terror of his preys, so much, that he erased their memories of the moment they realized he was a vampire and tortured them like this. He repeated that scenario, till their brain couldn´t take it anymore, they were thereafter just living meatbags, unable to ever think again, for their whole life.
The Young child with an old soul walked, while naked, slowly through the forest, leaving behind shrubbery and small branchest, searching for a fitting prey. He got excited, whilst thinking about what animals or monsters he would encounter.
The Small youth, was highly interested in the ecology of Almastea, thus also in it's inhabitants. Inspecting the woods and plants on the forest ground while doing that he found out, they all emmited a faint glow.
He hypothesized that it is either mana or elemental essence and maybe both combined, he had to research further to conclude his theory. The Eyes of the young child, sparkled like well, like a child, however, in his mind he thought of uncovering the mysteries of this world of magic.
He was so deep in his thoughts, that he failed to notice the approaching figure slowly ,but steadily creeping towards his back. But his vampiric senses was able to detect every living existence in a wide radius, although, it is now a mere six meters, as soon as the black figure was near enough to trigger his senses.
Aluzar turned around, facing a ten meter tall, black fured beast, it was similiar to a bear except it was several times larger, plus it had two blade shaped horns sticking out of it´s forehead, the five talons of his paws were sharp, in addition each of them were big as an arm of a grown up man.
The Beast lunged at him with it´s talons, it was confident to kill his small prey, however, Aluzars eyes began to glow, his calm demeanor changed to a fierce expression. The huge bear beasts movement instantly froze up, unable to even move an inch due to the ernormous bloodlust emmited from the 120 centimeter tall child.
Edit note: Fixed some misplaced commas,pointers and proof read it myself, hope there are no mistakes. Also made some structuring please tell me how you like this.

Living in Paradise
The first thing I saw when I woke up was a group of people standing over me shouting "Happy Birthday!!!". Immediately after they start debating what type of world I came from and calling me 'William'. Later on I would learn that everyone here is reborn from another world and many children come with magic or superpowers or other gifts leftover from their old lives. I came from a world that was, to me, typical modernity. To them it was pretty boaring with the only thing interesting about my world being was a higher than average tech level for a non-spacefaring civilization; technology that wouldn't even work in this new world. All I brought with me was a peculiar mindset and the strong suspicion that there must be something more to life. Once everyone started to clear out my mother took me up in her arms, explained how the world works, and then stabbed me in the neck with a knife. I got better. -------------------- This story was written from the central idea of a simple question: What if a videogame like world, with all the normal video-game staples and tropes, was actually a real world? How would that work? How would people understand the universe around them? What sort of weirdness would the world appear to have from the point of view of someone who recognizes the odd nature of the place? And finally, if left to its own devices, how would this type of world ultimately develop?
