Allen found it strange that the system was still not opening its mouth in front of him. Its interface stubbornly refused to entertain any of his requests that tried to deal with this matter….Allen looked at this behavior silently and then started walking along with the other person present with him, strolling around this area. Allen said, “What was your name, brother?”
The man was calming down now from all that adrenaline that was created in him because of the fights going on in the arena. He still was serious about going with his commitment. He said “My name you ask? It is….”
Allen waited for him to go forward, but he didn’t. The man kept looking at him; the man expected something from him.
The man said “Actually, it is our custom that the person who is asking someone else to introduce should introduce himself first. Maybe you would like to follow our customs now?”
Allen agree
Allen said, “This wood of lumber, you say?"Jack Said “Yes. Just look at how fine the cuts are on it, not to mention all the wood gathered is from strong and healthy trees. Few trees could be as strong in their frame as this here, I believe. We have been getting such resources for the past week, and hence we are in search of the person who is sending such material so consistently. “Allen said, “I just cut a random tree, though. Maybe some luck?”Jack became even more excited. He said “There is no good luck like this. You should have a special sense of which tree is most healthy and hence you go cut it. If you don’t think that is the case. Fine. But I ask you to ponder on a certain thing. Did you really randomly walk around getting this wood?”Allen wanted to say that he was just strolling around the area that he would usually stroll around, but he got some memories that actually, ther
That’s how they took all of them to the city inside while they made them stay at a good place, with some of them standing guard, some others went somewhere to get permission from the leader, whether or not the leader was available to these guests right now.It was a small city, so it would mostly take only a few tens of minutes if the leader was available. Otherwise, it could take them up to an unknown amount of time. The guards after deliberating with themselves said to Allen and others that if they wanted to explore the city they could, but it would be better if they took a guide with them as they may not realize they were going into some forbidden territory and might get into trouble.They asked that at least one of them stay with them, though. So that he could act as a guarantee for all the others. The other three made Allen stay, as he already was pretty much under capture. Allen agreed to let the others go with the guide after discuss
Allen wanted a further confirmation now. Whether the person is front of him was the one who was to give the mission or just a person involved herself, on the mission. Just like before.There were a few deductions that he made and that those would not be verified so easily.It was possible that the person remembered little, or did not intend to reveal much. It was also possible that there was some kind of restraint put on them, voluntarily or involuntarily. He could not say for sure, but a restraint that could make them all such that they would also remember things in bits and pieces just like what was happening to them right now..He did not know what to think of so many people, however. Where did they fit in all of this??This was all based on his assumption that in a medium level one, the owner who wanted some help form them would contact them earlier, and it would ask for help in a more direct way, maybe in a way that was not jus
There was a not-so-normal environment in this city, carved right into the depths of mountains. Usually, anyone would say it was marvelous, but now some things made it a little on the edge. There was an environment of disorder and mockery towards the less capable people in the city.The elites, though some richer and some less rich, did not consider the ones working below as having the same capability, which was actually true and the people did not really mind in the beginning as far as they could tell.The real problem was that the less rich elites were in quite some jealousy looking at the already rich ones. It needed no mention that many new ones that came after Allen, Tim, Shariq, and Smith were single, but not all were. Yep. There were some families. Some strange mechanism had made them able to pass on their generations. And they adopted the act of marriage after grasping around things. But the problem was when the first wealthy elite in the
Allen, Shariq, Tim, and Smith had settled in the few months they were here, when there was news of Roger introducing this practice here. Smith, being a merchant, was particularly tempted to do that. People were already taking normal things at a loan from him, might as well get some benefit too. The idea repulsed Allen and hence he advised Smith against it. Smith listened somewhat, but still choose to do it. After that, the relation just worsened among them such that Smith would not even come for days to weeks to meet them, and the longest absence was for two weeks. When they went to meet him, he said he was busy and would come later. Shariq, although also tempted by this, did not do it as Allen was more strict with him regarding that. Tim had just listened to him at the first moment. After the matter happened that various attempts of Allen failed, Shariq tried to stop him from doing that again, but Allen would still try his luck from time to time. Jack
When Allen entered the room, he was not sure how he was going to explain this intrusion, not to mention it was unknown whether he could easily take the Queen outside secretly as the entrance he came from although had most sleeping ants also had the most sensitive ants towards their Queen.Another thing was the Queen ant would be strong and it would not be easy to take her out if she resisted. Thinking of that and guessing that she probably would heal from minor wounds and injury afterward, Allen looked at his trusty axe, the same one which could even gash out the walls now. He would not have to use this in the worst case….ah…maybe he was the one who came to kidnap instead….The Queen saw him arrive and silently looked at him; she narrowed her eyes and looked at where he came from, then her eyes came back towards his hands. Her eyes were wide open, seeing only an axe in his hands. She said to him “You know what is the si
The Queen looked at the both of them one by one and then said” I will not give the other two this quest. Tell me if both of you agree with this”Tim talked to Allen about it and then convinced him it was okay. She may not let them proceed to the next stage without that.After they said they agree. The queen said, “Now I will brief you what you are to solve. This scenario you saw was a past scenario that happened some time ago.Attacked by the new elites.One of the guard died.4 elites died.These pieces of news had everyone on edge.But our lives did not end.We continued from there and our colony situation has worsened even more since then. We-We just want this to leave us and let us live in harmony.You are to solve this problem and there is no doubt in this, anything that happens to you there is as real as it can get. If they cut you, you will get injured just li
He said, “Then it would be better to put all these elites with the normal ant colonies that are outside right now. It should be made such that each elite ant actually has his own colony to lead or if that is not possible at least a smaller area that it can lead, while they should be all under the rules set by the knowledgeable ones and you and the official guards. This should keep them all away from each other and let them focus on their own development and keep them all in check.This problem occurred as they were all together. They all can’t be placed in a single area. It is like placing a bunch of predators together. They are going to compete for supremacy at all rates.It would be a different matter if they get families and then they want to send of their family to this area to get the knowledge”The guards were looking at Allen with weird expressions. Allen was sure they could still be fair, even though they hated th
The monkey stared at the lion. It said “What do you mean? You want to drop out?”The lion said “Yes. The taller guy is like a professional hunter. We have come so close to him, but he hasn’t responded in any way till now. I suspect some trap.”“You are right in saying that there is a trap. But I am not settling down without giving them troubles now and then.”
Allen asked Jack the new video guy to come and meet him somewhere close by. Sitting in a café, Allen saw many people entering and exiting. Among them was a man who was on the phone as he entered. Allen signaled to him and the guy came to him.Allen said “Jack I assume? It’s a pleasure to meet you. I hope you had a nice journey till here”The other man said “Yes. I am Jack, Sir Allen. And yes, glad to meet you and hope you are doing well also.”Allen said, “Then I assume that we can talk about the project a little bit?”Jack said, “Yes, I understand some aspects but some questions are still there.”Allen said “Can you kindly repeat the things that I said about the project. It will help me know where we stand right now.”“The project has a specific audience that is students of science and the project is supposed to be a call to acti
Allen turned around a corner and started to walk fast. There were people following him now and then. The last time he saw them, they were wearing formal black suits. The times they followed him most were when there were a lot fewer people around the area. That’s why Allen tried to keep himself in crowded areas throughout the day and for the night, he had taken a room in a crowded place also.As he came near the entrance, Allen took off the extra overcoat, the glasses, the hat, and the mustache and threw them away in a bag. He entered the building and went to his room hiding among a few other people. Looking from the window of his room, he saw a man wearing a black formal suit coming inside. Allen went downstairs and sat on a seat somewhere from where he could observe the man. The suited man asked the man at the counter something, the man at the counter replied in negative to whatever the man in a suit asked. And then the man went away without look
He needed to launch “Video Streaming”, the domain’s version of Nettflix here to accomplish his task. The content was already quite a lot of content in the market. He hence had to provide them with new and better stuff, and he took this challenge.He looked at the prices of some directors, and they were way above his reach. Some other less known directors found his ideas not in the trend and hence they would not sponsor the project. What he did was he searched for the closet film production university that was accepting admissions and made his camp there. Allen waited for the exam to finish and, by looking at the faces of the people who came outside, he already guessed who was thinking what. He picked some of them, taking advantage of the fact that they were in an excited emotional state. He talked to multiple of them and got their numbers. After that wa
Casually skimming through one, it took him a few hours to get to its last. Looking at the other two, he took a quick break by noting down some terms in his electric notepad. After a quick summary, he then read the second book, reading to its half, he left it there.He got a general idea for the day. This country had quite bad ties with another neighboring country of its. Both of the countries were split from a single country a few centuries ago, and they had feuds in between them based on their respective ideologies. The other country had, over the centuries, progressed more than them, because of their flexible ideology. The people of this country, although disliked it, could not or did not make a strong attempt enough to break this trend.Most of the things here were copies of the other country. &
After what seemed like a few mins, he opened his eyes as a student, as a university student this time.Allen now thankfully had enough clues to figure out what game this domain wanted him to play. It was making him go from one education age to another, primary to secondary, making him face the wall of tests again and again. Then, it gave him some buffer time by sending him to a free time of the high school year. He admitted. He was getting side-tracked as time went by because the vision and goal that he wanted to accomplish had become blurry after several months. The drive behind everything that he did before was almost gone. The major problem was that the memories of his were not fully available and hence he could not get himself to do a lot, as he was losing his steam, his motivation.Now, with the clearest idea since the time he came into the domain, his purpose became a lot clear again. It boosted his drive. He wrote down the things that he n
The other man among them heard the words of his mate. His mood worsened. He shouted, “Brother, your words are enough to scare someone. Calm the heck down!!...anyway, Allen Smith, you remember how you got here?” Allen just wanted to get out of this cell. He didn’t fuss about the extra Smith that the man added in his name.Allen said, “The thing is that I surrendered. There was a gun in my mind and a person on the ground, and-and police were surrounding me from every side? No, from three sides, one side was left open”The man said, “I knew that surrendering was the most likely. It was unlikely that the government could catch you so easily else-wise. If that was the case, they would have done this months ago. Their torture and other threats would not have worked, I know. But now, I would like to ask you why did you surrender, but you say you forgot most of the things. Anything that you remember right now?”The second man sa
The monkey was hiding in the trees with a bird. The bird was not liking the rain, but there was not much it could do now. It had already tried to warn the monkey of the season change a couple of hours ago. The monkey, however, did not want to retreat so fast, because of reasons that the both of them were aware of, but the bird had to listen to the monkey because of the same reasons.The money knew it was not good to force the bird because of its legit concern, so it tried to follow the direction of the cage trail. When it reached there, it found only a broken cage. In anger, it ran circles around but found nothing else. Hence, the only option was to go with the bird. Therefore, both of them were stuck together. The dog also could not pursue the enemy because of the rain having washed many traces.The rain went on for more than half a day. Sometimes, it would become a little less and sometimes it was quick. But it was a good thing that there was n
Directions of the ants were different when they detected this emergency. They were returning to their nest from here, as was clear from the number of increased ants with time. But, they were also going somewhere else, somewhere the trio probably didn’t want them to go. It was probably better for the trio to get out as fast as possible.After the 10th hour, Yushin left his place and told the trainer about his worries. The trainer didn’t want to let this piece of fat meat go by so easily. So he asked Yushin and Mule to go ahead and make some cave in the mountain place that they were on before and leave some markings on the way for him to follow.The trainer arrived, looking very thrilled.Yushin looked at Mule, who went running and stopped the trainer in his tracks asking about the meat.The trainer in his smile said that hopefully the situation will not develop to that stage, but that he brought some meat with him. The li
