~ The Next Day ~
The next day, Gabriel wakes up and have some breakfast before going to the Adventurer Guild. As he arrived, Gabriel then asked the receptionist about the mission he could take. The lady then takes him to the guild board where he could choose his own quest, not like Akrok city, where the Desk Lady will give him the quest that appropriates for him according to his exploit and experience that the guild card shows him/her.
Gabriel then takes a quest to kill an Orc, The minimum for the quest completed is 3, but he can also earn extra Two Silver Coin for every Orc he kills. The Orc Location is near the village, where he helps the villager solving the problem they have at times.
He then began his journey to the Belfair village. The village where the first plague he ever encounters in the new world. He arrives at the village when the sun high above his head, as he comes near the gate, some villager sees him and greet him as if he was their hero. Seeing their enthusiasm for greeting him or touch him, Gabriel blushes a little as he doesn't think that he deserves the praise.
Gabriel then walks to the Village house after explaining his reasoning to the villager who let him meet the village chief. After talking to the village chief, Gabriel then knows where he can kill the Orc. The Orc he will facing is around 7 in number and has a level around 40 to 54 if the scout the village chief sent is accurate. After getting the information, Gabriel then walked toward the Orc location. At first, the village chief wants to send some of the fighters to help him, but he able to convince the village to let Gabriel do it alone.

After walking for at least five minutes, Gabriel then sees the group of Orc who is eating some animal. Slowly he sneaks at the Orc before he takes Naegling before he jumps at the Orc and swings his weapon down, killing the Orc with one swing. Gabriel then runs toward the nearby Orc and touches it before making it turn into dust. He then sees the Orc mage that has a good amount of distance from him, who is currently preparing a spell to attack. Seeing it, Gabriel raised his hand and said.
"Holy Ray"
Coming from his hand is a Light Laser Beam that hit the Orc Mage and burning it alive before turning into dust. Gabriel then prepares to attack the other Orc Shielder, but before he was able to do that, another Orc Mage releases its Spell.
"H̸̨̙̤̞̥̜̣͎̐͐́͜ẽ̵̢͕̱̲̤͍̿̇̀͂͆̾l̴̛̳̽́̎̓͋̽͠l̸̖͌̈́̏̒̊͘ ̴̨̹̬̖̎̍̃̿̚͠F̴̡͉̞̑̿͗͐̈́́̇̿͠i̴̲̭͔̙̰̫̐͐̽͆̈́̅͝r̴̡͎̥͚̰̲̹͇̹̊̆ẹ̴̃͗́̕̕͠"
Coming from the Orc staff is a Snake made of fire that burns everything on its path as it coming toward him.
"Tch"
Gabriel then creates a massive wall made of stone to block the incoming attack while also dealing with the Orc in front of him by touching it and then turn the Orc into the dust. After the spell ended Gabriel, then destroy the wall before run toward the last Ord Mage, who is preparing another spell. The Orc tries to stop him, but Gabriel has more Agility than the two Orc Warrior. After arriving in front of the Orc Mage, he then uses his weapon to kill the Orc. Gabriel then uses his Holy Ray to kill the rest of the Orc who tries to running away from him.
After killing all the Orc, he then hears a *ping* sound inside his mind, so he checks his status where he gains one level after killing all the Orc and also one STR and one AGI from swinging Naegling and even running around with Naeglin on his hand.
Gabriel then walked to the village and greeted by the village chief, who is asking about the Orc. He smiled a little before shows his Adventurer Card where it says in the lastest quest that he kill all 7 Orcs. The Village Chief, who sees it, then sighs in relief before thanking him profusely to him before offering him a place to stay and celebrate it with the villager. Still, he rejects it saying that he needs to see the Royal Family tomorrow morning so he needs to go back.

A-Live AI
The year is 2247. For almost two hundred years Sentient AI research has been banned. Everyone knew this, and yet no one has ever given up on finding the perfect setup for it. Restricted AI are rare, but possible to get ahold of if you have the money and the clout to get through the law for it. Especially when it deals with the military. Alfred Homis is an engineer and has spent the last three years working for the United Terran Military's Research and Exploration Department. Specifically to help build a 'shackled' AI who's prime directive was to explore potentially habitable worlds. Worlds that are far cheaper to colonize and add to the United Terran Directorate's fold than terraforming. During the AI's maiden voyage things go horribly wrong, taking Alfred Homis along for the ride. Thrown into a parallel universe where the laws of physics are just a little messed up, Alfred finds himself trapped inside the very machine he'd helped to build. Add magic, hostile fantasy creatures, and two different pantheons of 'Gods' to the mix and things get even more complicated. Oh, and an invasion between universes to boot. But that's just all in a days work though for Alfred, the AI Lord. Authors Note: Hi guys! Long time no see. And yes, I know that's all on me. But I blame life for that. Anyway, this is my new work, and I hope you guys enjoy it! The chapters are a little shorter than I'd previously posted in my other stories, but I cannot say that I have the same amount of time or energy to write them like that anymore. Sorry about that. Still, some warnings: There is cursing in this story. I am not going to edit it out. There will be sexual content later. Blood, gore and cruel depictions are all planned. If that isn't your thing, I'd suggest you turn back now. There is also my dry, and often not-so-funny sense of humor. And oh, it's all in first person gain. Haha. I just tend to write better that way. If none of that bothers you, then enjoy the read! Feel free to comment, point out mistakes, or make suggestions! Reviews are nice too, but please lay off the criticism until the story gets good and going. Thank you. Note 1: Some edits to the synopsis.
