Last Updated:
2021-12-13 03:45:23Just then a man dressed in a similar jumpsuit and a metal hat approached them. He couldn’t contain his excitement at seeing Jill and she was the same when she saw him. Once again Jill was addressed as the queen of the world. A title they had all heard before but one that Jill herself had never responded to.
The man's name was Christopher and he was the one in charge of the factory. He had so many questions for Jill but she told him they were due to start work in the factory. Christopher knew exactly what was going on. Everyone in Tech Town did. You couldn’t hide anything from these people. He wasn’t sure about the piece of the box that they were looking for though but he promised to help

It had been almost 2 weeks since they arrived and the feeling of a normal life began to settle in for everyone, even Noah. The metal apartment they all shared became cosy and in some way without even realising it they had become a family. Every day they went to work and checked on the progress for freeing Cassidy. They would do everything together and the time was flying by.One day they were eating their lunch in the work cafeteria peacefully as usual until the manager came racing in. He was slamming doors as he ran and apologising to Brian as he did so. He had big news for Jill and she jumped out of her seat thinking it was about Cassidy but it wasn’t.

Jill awoke with a start sweating profusely. She had been keeping it from the others but she was just as affected by everything that they had been through. It was not the world inside the box or even the adventures that they had been through that gave her nightmares. It was at first the thought of how Cassidy was locked in her own mind watching her body do as Logan commands.After a few days those nightmares turned into her own father being in the same position as Cassidy. Wren tried to apologise for almost killing her father but she told him he never had anything to apologise for. In fact in a strange and surreal way she was actually glad. If he didn’t do what he did then she would never have k

As Noah went to grab hold of one of the transport options they instantly disappeared leaving behind a message that read: “Placed in Inventory”. Noah was distraught as he was looking forward to trying them out. Christopher gave Jill the blaster and told her to be as accurate as possible. This was their one and only chance to save Cassidy. After a short but tearful goodbye they were transported to a strange place.Jill didn’t recognise it as anywhere she had previously seen and she was always with Charles when new worlds would be created. The space was black and lifeless like an empty void. Jill, Noah, Dylan and Wren were sitting there unable to touch anything and the only thing they could

“Someone needs to explain what is going on to me right now!!” Charles yelled as he looked around at all the chaos around him.“We need help. I’ll explain later but Noah’s dying and we really need medical help.” Dylan said looking distraught.Charles ordered the guards to get everyone the medical bay in the castle and to bring all doctors there at once. He held one guard back and told him to send the juggernauts to the castle as well.

“After I had chosen to build a world for myself to feel home in, Jill helped me reprogram myself. The very core of my data would become the endless power supply for this world. As I live, this world lives.” Charles explained.“Normally cores are created for each person. They are too weak on their own to sustain anymore than that. Since Charles has such a large core, it's possible to add Jill's data to it. My sister can come back.” Coral said.“Then what are we waiting for. I can’t do a lot while Noah’s in surgery

The juggernauts opened the surgery doors revealing a blood soaked room and a newly healed Noah lying still unconscious on the operating table. After wheeling him out and leaving him in the care of the castle's doctors they approached a troubled Charles with results.“I can see this is not a good time to talk but the job is done. The boy is mostly human as you wished for my king. We will get a report typed up for you immediately.” one of the juggernauts said.“Thank you once again for all your help. If there is ever any way I can help yo

“Did I miss much?” Noah asked, still weak from the surgery.“I'll fill you in later. You don’t have to worry about anything for now.” Dylan smiled.Charles thought long and hard about what could be done as he stood at a balcony just outside his library. It was from this point in the castle that offered the best views of the world he loved.Standing and looking down at his
Last Updated : 2021-12-20Where Do We Belong? Thanks and Apologies
Firstly, I would like to thank everyone who has read and enjoyed this novel so far. This really does mean a lot to me and I'm so glad I've been able to write a new chapter every day. I've been scammed by fake publishers before which has made it difficult to write so being able to write a new chapter every day is truly a miracle for me. As for my apologies, I would like to start with there being no chapter tonight and possibly not for the rest of the week. I had a slight cold over last weekend which has just gotten so much worse. I'm glad it isn't covid but it I do need a lot of rest and being able to see is a bit difficult at the minute so please excuse any spelling mistakes due to that. As soon as I am better, I will get right back to typing new chapters and hopefully being back on doing a new chapter a day. I hope everyone can understand the need for me to delay uploading. It is especially frustrating for me as I was able to writ

Where Do We Belong? Chapter 39: Where Do We Belong?
The real world was so much brighter than they remembered and there was no telling how long they had been gone. The adventure they had inside the box was perilous but it brought them closer. They became a family and now they were each ready to face their truths together. The wizards were not used to this new world that looked nothing like their island. They were also surprised to learn that they could not use magic. Jill explained that in the real world people can't use magic but they wish they could. Once she learned of the news she set up a way for them to exist. She got them identification and some money to start their lives. She told them where to go and wished them well. Jaune lost his memories in the
Where Do We Belong? Chapter 38: The Reset
All Cassidy could do was sit and watch as Jill walked out of the core. She reached out her hand, desperate to grab hold of her but stopped herself. She knew she had to let her go so all she could do was clutch onto her backpack and keep it safe. The next five minutes would be the most fear she ever felt in her entire life.The countdown hit zero and the core locked itself down. Officially no way in or out and everything went dark. The core shut down and violent tremors began within. There wasn’t anything they could do but hope it would work out. Jill, before resetting everything, also made sure to destroy any external connections both from her father's hacking and her own computers.
Where Do We Belong? Chapter 37: No Time to Cry
“This is probably a bad time to ask but given everything that’s going on, are you feeling okay Jill?” Cassidy asked.“Well, I just murdered my father and watched him die a gruesome death. Then I find out the original box died with him along with the gems needed to get you out of here. Now I have to find a way to erase the damage he did to this world and get rid of all the intruders he placed here before something else goes horribly wrong. Plus, on top of all of that, if I don’t get you three out of here soon, you may never be able to leave.” Jill explained. “Is there anything else I’m missing?”
Where Do We Belong? Chapter 36: The Final Confrontation
“So the guy wasn’t crazy, he was just trying to protect your mum .” Cassidy said.“That last line makes him look pretty crazy but it's hard to tell.” Noah replied.As they were discussing what to make of the diary and the new mystery man that Mary had never mentioned to Jill, they began to hear footsteps approaching. Jill walked towards the entrance of the shrine and stood firm, waiting. There were at least six armed juggernauts including the doctors that Jill and Charles knew well.
Where Do We Belong? Chapter 35: The Childhood Friend
The juggernaut's realm was vast with many small cities. The area Logan was seen in was nothing more than a dock filled with boats and warehouses. It wasn’t going to be easy to find him. Jill had enough of just about everything at this point and so she did the only thing she could.To prepare for what had to be done, she took a small sample of Cassidy’s potion and used it to build a small device. It looked like nothing more than a watch but it would be able to tell them if Sean and Logan were fully merged. If they were, then Jill would finally put a stop to the monster that was once her father.

“I always thought you looked familiar but I couldn’t remember why.” Dylan said.“I have told you before that your obsession with criminals was strange.” Noah added.As everyone looked over at Noah and Dylan in confusion, Noah was quick to explain Dylan's childhood dream of tracking down criminals of all kinds. It wasn’t until his father later gave him a love of music instead that would become his new dream. Dylan has an entire bookshelf full of profiles of all kinds of criminals throughout the decades and from al
Where Do We Belong? Chapter 33: The Darkest of Truths
After saying this to Cassidy, Jaune stood up and just left. The other wizards also fled along with anyone who was fighting for Logan. Cassidy remained on the floor trembling as she remembered her father's words. “Even the forgotten can be remembered”. Charles warned everyone fighting on his side of a possible trap and urged them to return to their kingdoms. Everyone agreed but the CEO stayed behind.“Jill, how exactly did you get the designs for the people of this world?” Cassidy asked.“We just used all the real-life inspir
Where Do We Belong? Chapter 32: Wren's Betrayal
As Dylan took to taking care of Wren’s wound, all other eyes were on Jill. She told them even with data slowly taking over, this wasn’t normal. Charles ran inside his core and scanned the whole area. It was just as Jill said. Cassidy, Dylan, and Noah were all under 40% data. To be in this world it was only natural to be slowly affected by data consumption but being human kept it as a very slow takeover. Once they left the box all data would have remained inside except for Noah due to his surgery.“What did you do to me?” Wren asked, pointing towards Logan.
Where Do We Belong? Chapter 31: Speak Your Truth
As Charles arrived at the edge of the core, the others were already waiting for him on the platform nearby. It was a strange feeling for Charles to be both at the beginning of the end and at the very site where Jill met her end. There was no time to dwell on things outside of his control however as there were more important things to do.“I need to focus on removing each layer of security before we get to the core itself. After that, I need to focus on bringing Jill back. Use the hover disks you got from Tech Town and stay close but keep your eyes peeled.” Charles explained.“
