《Another World's Trespasser》Chapter 1: Survival of the Fittest
Advertisement
I think it’s a bit too late, but let me introduce myself.
My name is Seth, and I’m 14 years old this year. I don’t really have a surname since I resided inside an orphanage up until I'm 4 years old.
The phantom industry decided to adopt me because of the high level of intelligence I possess. All puzzles and problems thrown at me were easily solved without even breaking a sweat.
They provided me with all the basic living necessities and taught me all the knowledge and skills needed for me to get started.
I dedicated all of my time repaying their kindness and worked hard in order to make them proud of me.
But it’s all for naught ……
“Damn! Damn! Damn It!!!”
My fingers moved non-stop, pressing the buttons on the keyboard, trying to restart the machine. But it only responded with a low pitched sound. The bluish radiance previously emitted by the void stone has been lost, making its appearance the same as an ordinary rock.
*Sigh*
Getting frustrated here won’t get me anywhere …
I recollected my thoughts and began to reanalyze the problem in front of me.
The thing that must be prioritized right now is to find a way to survive in this unknown world. And that means finding a stable source of food and water.
Well shelter isn’t a problem since the whole warehouse is teleported with me.
Currently, the stock of food inside the one and only refrigerator won’t even last me a day or two. And the water system was severed from the mainline after the teleportation incident.
I’ve got no choice but to hunt for food and find a lake or something.
Then, I dejectedly drooped my shoulders as I suddenly recalled the present situation.
How am I supposed to do these things? If it isn’t for those monsters wandering about under broad daylight, this mission would be a walk in the park.

I continued throwing complaints for a while, after that I started to collect some tools needed for this mission.
And this were the only things that I found useful, after rummaging through all the rooms inside the warehouse.
A tranquilizer gun
A flashlight
A Swiss army knife
A bag of Potato Chips
Hey! Hey! Don’t judge me okay! Doing these kind of things will surely make me hungry along the way.
By the way, about half of the contents inside the refrigerator consists of junk foods and the other half, were chemicals used in some of my previous experiments.
My main weapon, the tranquilizer gun, was used for subjugating wild animals that were roaming freely back at the island. It can easily put an adult elephant into sleep in only a matter of seconds.
But just to make sure, I added a potent neurotoxin in each shots to convert the harmless tranquilizer gun into a deadly weapon capable of killing those monsters.
I waited until night came watched as the darkness completely swallowed the whole surroundings.
It seems that the number of monsters currently roaming around had decreased by about 80% making it the best time to set out and complete my objectives.
This substantially improved my survivability and gave me a whole lot of confidence that I inadvertently walked through the front door without even taking any precautions.
And suddenly ….
I sensed incoming footsteps from the part of the forest situated at the front of the warehouse.
My survival instinct kicked in that I found myself hiding behind the bushes without me even noticing it.
There I saw two of those pig monsters, inspecting the front of the building. It seems that these creatures are capable of interaction with their own kin, and that means they possess at least a level of intelligence that made them capable of speech.

I continued watching their every movements and after a minute of silence …..
*Beep* *Beep* *Beep*
“Oh shit!!”
I frantically tried to stop the alarming sound coming from my mobile phone, but the death flag has long been raised.
One of the monsters slowly and carefully approached the source of the alerting sound.
With every step the monster makes, my heartbeat increases and my body was refusing to move because of the fear that I’m experiencing.
It’s either to kill, or be killed.
The only choice left for me was to fight, so I carefully aimed the gun at the center of the monster’s chest.
After pulling the trigger, a loud *thud* can be heard from the position of the monster. And there I saw its body convulsing nonstop and foam leaking from its mouth.
The other pig monster began to panic after witnessing its comrade’s body, dropping lifelessly onto the ground.
Unable to explain the situation in front of it, the monster decided to run away from the impending danger that awaits him.
*Sigh*
I let out a relieved sigh after escaping certain death yet again and slowly approached the remains of the pig-like monster.
Then suddenly, multiple semitransparent windows popped out in front of my vision with a *ding* sound saying:
Code:
Congratulations you have reached level 2!
Congratulations you have reached level 3!
Congratulations you have reached level 4!
Congratulations you have reached level 5!
“Huh? What the hell is this?”
I made a dumbfounded face after reading the contents of each sign.

The Dreamside Road
Five years after the world fell into chaos, a treasure of artifacts is up for grabs. The relics of the Dreamside Road offer a power that could help rebuild or annihilate what remains. Orson Gregory is an adventurer for hire, but hunts this treasure for answers, not glory. Enoa Cloud’s late aunt helped hide the Dreamside Road, but following in her aunt’s supernatural tradition offers her as much peril as power. Together, Orson and Enoa battle a magic-obsessed militia, clash with a host of rivals, and face constant adventure on their journey to find the Dreamside Road. *Updates Monday and Friday The Dreamside Road is now on TopWebFiction! Vote so people know this exists. _____________________________________ NOTE: The Progression tag applies specifically to Enoa. Also, fair warning, that element doesn't enter the story until she begins her studies. Content: Main characters range in age from teenagers to people in their thirties and older, but it will not contain gratuitous violence or explicit sexual content. It also won’t shy away from implication, anything to make this story and its world feel more real. Characters will freely allude to potentially triggering topics, including living with a disability, facing terminal illness, coping with trauma, surviving societal destabilization, and the consequences of bigotry. At its most intense, the Dreamside Road is a hard PG-13. Worldbuilding: This is not a story with a lot of early exposition scenes, conveniently explaining ‘magic systems’ and political dynamics. Readers will learn, progressively, as the characters do. This story/world has a ‘magic system’, or rather, a set of systems, but the effort to quantify and understand the truth of the setting plays a role in the backstory, as well as in some character motivations. In that same vein, not every character has a firm grasp on the nature of their world, and not every piece of dialog from every character should be taken as entirely truthful Worldbuilding. Also, this isn't the softest Sci-fi. There are at least some basic explanations given for various elements, but Royal Road does not give me a spectrum to choose from. Given the choice between hard and soft, let's just say The Dreamside Road won't be cited in any college Physics papers. Setting and Theme: The Dreamside Road walks the line between fantasy and science fiction and deals with finding one’s place in a changing world. Many of the characters in this story are United States natives and the story begins in the United States, my homeland. However, knowledge or interest in this country is not necessary to understand the story, especially as it progresses. Also, as this is a novel that deals with societal collapse and while that damage may be widespread, in story, I don’t want to overstep and critique the culture of others’ unless I have particular knowledge in a given area. Ultimately, the Dreamside Road is American in the same way Harry Potter is English, fantasies that do not have a full secondary world, but with enough original elements to fully diverge the setting from our the real world.
