It has been 5 months since I arrived in this new world and the amount sent each day has stopped after the capacity for the current base was reached, we have seen that plants of our world can be grown in greenhouses in this world and be fine but if grown in the soil of this world begin to mutate and although some are fine and are being grown in available space others have become like the vine or blue fruit.
Poisonous or cause mutations we now have poisonous potatoes, parsnips, and almonds from our attempt at a fruit. While the ones too cause mutations are peppers, corn, and carrots meaning there is now 2 people who are orange with green hair and have increased resistance too the previously mentioned food they can eat all but the almonds with no problem and even the almonds only cause diarrhea unlike with the person it killed in seconds from eating it.
Peppers made the person like a living biochemical torturer as just being near them causes one skin to burn their eyes to be blinded and their organs too slow down do to a burning sensation and will even kill those non cultivators like the five that died from being near him when he awakened. With bright red hair and light green skin in areas only those a E-rank could eat this as the one with F-rank died from consumption.
The corn made it so the person has yellow hair and blue skin it is a surprise that the corn like this have blue stalks, the person can retain water for a long time and even if they go two months without a drop they will be dehydrated but fine and only dangerous when the three month mark hits.
But the best part is it is discovered normal people can eat the corn and carrot and survive the transformation with no mental changes meaning they are viable for normal people to use to help survive in this environment.
Either by retaining more water in a arid environment or by allowing them too eat poisonous foods that other can't so their options for consumption is higher but they can't be mixed except for those in F-rank and higher it causes a similar effect as the thing that was officially assigned the name chimera and count as monsters due to lack of intelligence.
Despite the set backs and deaths we have a current amount of 1,200 people here and that is our max capacity for not only fit but what we can currently provide with the food grown as the government wants too see if we can be self sufficient.
We have Lettuce, beets, Zucchini, squash, radishes, beans, onions, garlic, and asparagus growing and they are neither poisonous are mutagenic in this world soil or if changed not enough to become wither. Although the bright pink color for the beans may make one believe otherwise all of them are safe though our foods are now very rainbow and our tongues hurt from the altered taste that make it like paper or bark for most the only upside is garlic is still good along with the onions.
We are also now trying with some medicinal herbs like thyme, rosemary, oregano, sage, chamomile, yarrow, bii berries, and farrow grass all for medicinal and basic potion making.
W have only started two months ago so it will be a bit more before we can harvest especially for the bii berries that take a year before the bush is fully grown and berries start too grow but once they do the bush is pretty much unkillable so a guaranteed source but until then it is fragile.
They are for the basic likes nutrients potion, healing potion, illness treatment potion, poison resistance potion, and purifying potion.
Rosemary for the purity potion, thyme and oregano for the illness potion, sage along with chamomile and yarrow for the healing potion, bii berries and the farrow grass are the nutrients potion meaning all basics for high survival chances are here so even normal people won't be too bad off for health matters.
The base is on it's way too being more like a small village then a military base and the geologist found a few metals that while different are promising as one is similar too iron the most promising one is this black metal that will repair itself if mental energy is injected.
However a problem is met when trying to combine it too other metals as so far it has rejected all the metals even the ones from this world and violently at that.
With no progress and the government wanting us too wait before doing more in depth research until we are certain a stable base can be built we can only wait for support.
However I am about too advance and that means I will leave soon and so they are currently they are looking for someone too replace me and the one being looked at the most is apparently one of the masked men who has a white swirl as he apparently is only good at fighting and I will play more of a diplomatic role if another intelligent life is found.
He is a dragon kin and a void person so they intend for Wyatt too come with him through too test a criminal void persons reaction too a new world and Wyatt will return too our world while the one in the mask with white swirl will stay.
I am curious but they say void people are self contained and I am not allowed too be the one to test on them.
I will also be demoted too second in command and head of the research part of the base so as to let me truly focus on what I need while the other man will be the one too take charge and give orders too the high rankings for military use.
I know this is for the best as I instinctually do not wish too start wars with other worlds and may let my perspective as an otherworlder myself prevent the right calls in such situation.
I return tomorrow and the nervousness is there as I know it could go poorly as by the time I return a year will have passed and the base will have drastically change along with potentially have found the intelligent species on that planet and a war having occurred or beginning.
I step through the portal returning home for the first time in five months from a hostile location, I see Lucien and Nilan in the waiting area outside the portal room and Lucien just drags me too hug along with Nilan, Wyatt stands to the side and after I finish the greetings he begins my check up and has me strip too check for any unseen problems from the unknown environment. I feel his hand on my abdomen and his gave wandering my body checking for signs of problems and shift slightly in discomfort as I am unused too such things.
He finishes the check and assures those waiting that I am in as good of health as when I left and no signs of anything not right or mutated on me as they take me too the scanner too check my energy for it's current state and see it is fine just like when I left if far fuller in my spirit energy.
I enter the room set aside for those returning from another world and I am expected too remain there for the following week with only people allowed too visit for an hour and regular checkups.
Th week passes with daily checks from Wyatt and Lucien and Nilan visiting but I cannot speak of the other world so we talk of things in the past too alleviate the dark mood and too make me relax after that time in another world.
By the end of the week I am bored out of my mind but finally I can return home with Lucien and begin my week break from there until I begin my advancement.
It isn't nearly enough time but that is how it is for the military and so it passes like a blink of an eye.
I enter the containment room too begin my complete advancement.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
P.O.V. Wyatt
The base in the other world has gone surprisingly easy all things considered but this will not always hold true for other worlds and I know the other know this so are preparing for potential war in such a situation where we are so disadvantaged but all I can think of is the person on the other side.
Aadi has done well for one in his position and I know many here are displeased with leaving it in the hands of what they call and outsider but he has lived in our world for almost thirteen years and would have if he wasn't sent too another world but he is a very gentle person so their call too swap in my brother for military purposes but leave him as an otherworld ambassador is the best we can do.
When he returns I can't help but look at his still healthy almost but not quiet an skin and beautiful features that even after the other world are untouched his muscles which have gone from only a four pack too six pack from heavy training have fallen back too four pack from the lack of high grade training in the other world.
I can't help my self as I stare more then needed for the check up and I can already see my fathers reaction when he realizes my interest is not just in him being another world person but in a more sexual light.
He will be thrilled as we are a species that mates through energy not sex and this means male or female both can be partners and still have children the only restriction is the partner needs enough energy and he will definitely have plenty as he has double the energy amount then us due too his body growing two energy systems making him the perfect mate.
I will make my claim soon before my brother grow interested but that won't stop them from trying too woo him it will just make it so father is on my side for the rights too court.
We may not seem it but we are a highly loyal race as although my father has three partners none of the three fight but instead gang up together on my father and are very close my mother was even brought into the relationship by the first wife not my father and the second wife is apparently a equal opportunity for male or female so she sleeps with both father and the other wives.
They are very happy together and the only way a new person will ever come in is if all four agree too it and although it is assumed by most father is the head of the house first wife is without a doubt the one with the purse, second wife holds ultimate rules from punishment and last one holds first right too the children meaning me and my brothers.
I am glad I made claim early on and learned medical support as it means I can stare and look now and can prevent someone else from seeing this side of him.
I made sure he always had separate showers in training and went the tents were assigned I got him a separate tent too signify his high position and so he can have a separate washroom from those criminals sent that would most definitely try and make a move on him.
Unfortunately my brother is the one chosen for this new world not me as he will have direct access too Aadi for long times while I am in another world from him unable too communicate.
I use this time too see his feeling to me touching him is he fine with it in a friend way or fine in a more sexual way is he blushing does he seem too enjoy it, so on and so forth as I have direct access for a week too his body but I can only check it over a pity but I can't go too fast or he may reject me without giving me a chance. He is known for being uninterested in the people who asked him out in school as he viewed them as interfering in his training or as not proper too be with due to the relation between the two as he is a student and one of them was a teacher but the teacher wasn't one of his teachers.
For most it is fine but from what I hear in his world such action as sleeping with a superior whether your own or not appears frowned upon as it is seen as someone trying too climb the social tree without putting in proper effort.
Although it does still occurred in his world he would rather not and I am his direct superior so him denying me even if interested is near guaranteed or I would just outright go for it.
I know he will be in the cultivation chamber prepared for him for the next year after the week break with his family so I stay away during this time as I will be watching over him during most of the time in the chamber outside of the day set aside too test my second aunt for our survival, she tried too use her own daughter as a test subject and when discovered was arrested and will now be one herself truly perfect karma as she will now go through the thing she did too her own daughter.
I sigh at the thought of that cousin who even now refuses too go near a hospital or any medical equipment after the forty years since then it has simply left her traumatized.
I see my brother off through the portal and then wait for the first week of his advancement too pass too guarantee he is stable before going too the new world with a set of guards with the prisoner.
It is barren landscape covered in sand and a small barrier is the only thing between us and death truly a terrifying thing and I touch the barrier enchantment necklace given for incase something goes wrong, my aunt is brought forth with perfect health as we need her to test the average void persons reaction too such environment not a energy deprived one.
The guards activate the barrier object given and walk out of the barrier with her and the screams that follow where noisy, I followed them out and kept scan of her body and health and as time passed she didn't react badly but instead she adapted too the new world.
She was an S-rank person and she adapted in five hours ten minutes, a very long time for a S-rank too take to adapt but he changes were incredible.
Her entire body had appeared too deage from her look of nearly forty to only twenty she is filled with vitality and her physique has jumped off the charts from a physique normal of an A-rank due to her time in prison too SS-rank and her energy has enhanced from a purity of B-grade too a purity of S-grade she was even better then in her prime and she knew it as she attempted too escape but brother stopped he with a swing of his sword removing her head.
"I needed too fully study her changes, I can't do that properly with her energy with her like this." I say in response too this action, my brother scoffed and shot back.
"She wouldn't have let you check her energy even if she was alive and you are only a low S-grade not yet high enough too do that through force for someone at that level." I hate when he is right but I know this is the best we could do.
I begin too study her and discover that no mass biological change has occurred but rather her void characteristic has increased and it appears to expand beyond our current understanding.
I tell brother this and he decide since there is no danger he will undergo the energy too let me study it properly and so the next three hours is spent with him adapting too the energy of this world.
He then lets me check as well as describe his current state and it is clear how the energy has enhanced us as it made the tings we integrated better apart of us and he ate a piece of meat he explained he was getting energy from eating now not just having too absorb it, he then tells me he will act as watch so everyone here who is a void person in the S-grade me included will undergo the integration process.
So I spend two days here instead of the expected one and My strength shoots from Low S-grade too peak S-grade and my physique shot too peak SS-grade.
I know that if I find a powerful enough thing and eat it I will enhance even more.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
P.O.V. Aadi
I have finished with my mental advancement and now it is time to begin my next expansion part so with determination I begin to push my spirit energy out of my veins and into my body the pain is horrific and I can feel my organs begin to tear and rip and mass internal bleeding occurring if not for my plant sending energy too support me I am unsure if I would even survive such thing.
My heart, lungs, stomach and other organs begin to be replaced by energy fused ones and slowly my body begins to transform with my energy and the plants energy being used too rebuild them making me even more part plant than before.
Even my reproductive parts are changing but the biggest one is the feeling of a new organ taking shape but I am currently unsure what it is.
I am unsure how long I spend here but it is far too long in my book as by the time it is done I am barely conscious and fall asleep without being able too properly check out my bodies current state and situation.
When I awaken I have horrific smell but I remain unresponsive of it as this transformation has apparently killed my gag reflex.
I can feel only numbness right now so it is okay so I take a deep breathe and begin the process with my mental realm as well as it goes as well as with my body as in I felt like death would claim me in a second if something went slightly off or wrong.
I feel the replacement part start and the parts this time are my temporal lobe, cerebellum, and brainstem slowly time appeared to change around me and my body seemed to disconnect from my brain. This is far worse then the last time but I keep focused and continue on with the advancement and finally collapse when all is done with a putrid smell covering the are and gunk that looks like black misshapen organs clinging too my skin.
Waking I bathe using hot water and a lot of energy taking almost 6 hours just too get all the gunk off when I hear the bathroom door open just as I step out and put on a towel around my waist.
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
It is Wyatt who has set of clothes and hygiene products like deodorant and toothbrush he stares at me but doesn't appear too feel awkward like me so I try not to let it bother me as he sits it on the counter as he says, "I had thought something wrong so I came too check and realized you were hot provided these earlier so brought them."
I relax and nod at him he then leaves and I dress only to see it isn't a normal military uniform but a dress outfit.
It is white with gold accents on the sleeves collar and bottom and top of the pants along with a jacket to go over the shirt that is white with gold detailing on the pocket and buttons and a silver sash with a bunch of pins to put on the outfit, unsure how all but the pants and shirt go on I leave the room for Wyatt.
He puts the sash from the left as the top and right as bottom and a pin on the top left that is similar to a portal with a peony flower in pure white in the center I can tell what the portal is for but not the peony.
"Why a peony, for what purpose have you chosen this to be the flower put on it." I ask Wyatt.
"It is a representation of you as an ambassador of the group while the portal represents another world so your badge represents you as the ambassador in another world, I am sure it will evolve as time goes but for now this is the one chosen and you were definitely an influence on the flower and color chosen." I see him grin slightly and I remain quiet, white peonies represent purity, beauty, healing, and affection all positive things and unfortunately fits me spot on but the next thing he says freezes me.
"We also believe that plant you are becoming a part of is one, meaning better fit with you then any other." It is a peony that I am melding with, I guess it could be worse and a white one if my hair is and indication.
I stop asking and finish getting dressed as he puts on a badge with a single sword but it isn't a normal sword but a rapier sword with yellow and purple coloring which represents me as a lieutenant colonel and a another one with a solar system on it and I can't help but stare at that one as it is also a new one.
"It represents you as a world defender for the world army group that will be formed by the six continents together as another world is too big of threat for just one to deal with so the other continents were informed and a intercontinental meeting was held and it was agreed all those who enter other worlds who aren't prisoners will be assigned this but that will change with more worlds explored." I nod as this is understandable.
I follow him too a room that is clearly a waiting room and there is three others with black hair and eyes in the room already.
I see the oldest in the group who appears about in his forties come forward and speaks, "You will join us as one of our soldiers under Wyatt and you are being taken to a intercontinental meeting and ball for the celebration of truce and further exploration"
I nod and then Wyatt steps forward and introduces them in a very shocking way, "My father the chief protector of this continent and elder brother the head of the finance department, the other one is my fathers right hand man and oldest friend." I tense as I look at them and then Wyatt who is apparently a direct relative of the continental protector, no wonder he could make the safety and pardon promise.
I see him smile at me in a innocent way and look away from him and at the continent defender who appears very interested in something with me as he looks between me and Wyatt with the look one would give a very interesting creature.
I look at Wyatt again but he is looking at his father in a serious and deep manner clearly trying too say something without speaking when a cough comes and I look back at the right hand man.
He smiles and looks at the defender, who smiles at me in clear joy but I am unsure why.
Oh well some people just aren't meant for normal peoples understanding.
Everyone is dressed in high grade outfits but Wyatt and his family are dressed in military uniform with many badges on their right side while a cape is hung over the left shoulder, their capes are the same colors as their mask swirls and they have all removed their masks to reveal that void people are all very good looking.
Wyatt is a near spitting image of his father with slightly younger features and a less harsh look too him, Wyatt's brother is clearly of elven decent as he got their beautiful features and sharp features that make them all slightly androgynous but still easy too tell he is a man.
The right hand man is even older looking then Wyatt's father as he looks more like he is in his mid fifties clearly the void people do not have set aging and are like most species where the more energy the longer you stay young which is why Wyatt aged so much and his father probably hasn't since Wyatt's birth.
Wyatt introduces them and also tells me what too call them in the ball room, his brother's name is Griffin Ashish and I should call him treasurer Griffin during formal events.
His father is next and he tells me he is named Luan Ashish and that his official tittle is General Luan of the continent defense and duke Luan of the Autrerothia empire a place made specifically for void people and although small it holds the most SSS-ranked cultivators in the world.
Next is his fathers right hand man who's name is Talbot Mortimer and his official title is lieutenant general Talbot of the Mortimer count family a family known for trade.
With his second brother not in attendance he says I do not need to know of him so I can go without there, although he does mention his second brother is the on assigned too take over for me in the other world along with being a major general Like him so he will be my future superior when I return too the otherworld.
I stand behind the group as we come too the teleportation room and it is highly guarded, after entering we all go to the center of the room and Wyatt puts his hand on my shoulder before we are teleported too a new location.
I am only able too remain standing due too Wyatt's hand on me keeping me up and stable, I will thank him later for this help from falling face first in front of all these high standing people.
We appear in a opulent office with many black opal and gold detailing with dark wood used for all the furnishing the curtains are drawn open to let in sunlight but it only lights up enough too give a small glow while still being quiet dark and normal people wouldn't be able too see properly.
We leave the room with me in the back just behind Wyatt's eldest brother Griffin and Wyatt himself who is walking beside his brother, we come too a large double door of gold wood a wood known too glitter gold in the sun while being pitch black unless direct sunlight, it is not enough light in here for it to glitter a pity but I figure they prefer it this way.
When the door opens it is too a massive opulent ball room filled with people dressed in varying outfits but all of them is high grade and the best in each region they originate from.
The ceiling is a massive gloss dome with no design in the glass except for what is structured too hold it up lighting up the ballroom with the sunlight that shows it too be afternoon and many of the wooden features now are black with flecks of golden glitter all through it almost like someone coated everything in a thin layer of gold glitter.
The chandeliers on the wall are all gorgeous crystal ones made of gold and opal with hints of obsidian in some of them, beautiful velvet purple and gold detailing lines all the things in here and the floor is a mix of carved black marble and white marble with flicks of gold in it.
There are easily fifty balconies all with furniture on them and wide open with curtains hanging in front of some to give those out there some privacy.
It is large, opulent, and beautiful with a sense of suppression but also elegance making the features that most would see as over the top or garnish as regal a truly perfect show of wealth and power, this is the home that Wyatt grew up in and compared too my own it is like a peasants compared too a kings, simply in different classes entirely.
I walk behind them and feel that our outfits is actually quiet bland compared too those who came here and But everyone gives us respect wherever we go bowing in greeting and waiting for the General and his companions too speak first before introducing themselves and starting conversations. I can feel peoples gaze on me as I am clearly not a family member or void person but was being brought along as if I was one, I even have a few of the women flirt as though trying too get my attention on them.
Wyatt interferes if things begin too drift and remains nearby at all times making this much easier too sort out and deal with, the announcement of the new world will be held before dinner and will allow us too answer questions from the higher ranking people during the dinner.
I am promised no one is going too be told of my otherworlder status outside of those already in the know without my consent and that I will be only introduced as the head of research and support division. I am happy that I will not be known as being from another world as I am sure that would lead too many problems for me in my future careers.
The ball part last until dusk comes and the sun starts too set when we are taken too a massive dining hall filled with white and beige wood along with softer coloring and a massive chandelier is lit up above us to light the room for eating.
I sit with Wyatt and his family at the front of the table and see many are now very interested as it is one thing too be brought with them and another all together too eat with them.
Once all the guest are seated general Luan stands and addresses the guest, "You are gathered here from all over the world too bring forth a new discovery and opportunities that my continent has found and we find that it is needed for all too be informed of this. A year and a half ago a person who will remain anonymous came forth as not originating of this world and also revealed the body of another person also not of this world, we have found a way too use the energy of this other world too back track this person and lead us too a completely new world and we would like too announce a decent sized colony has already been made experimentally using death sentenced criminals."
Everything is quite as all here are very capable of understanding the weight of these words, another world means new territory and potential means too wealth and furthering ones technology but it also represents a new danger as it means a enemy that could also back track us like we have them.
General Luan continues, "I have brought with me the head of research and support who helped in setting up and building this colony and helping us finds a mean too survive in this new environment with me, Aadi Null will now stand too speak of the current basic information we have of this new world."
He nods to me and I stand causing a murmur too go through the room as they realize I am here for this, a high grade in for a new resource.
I begin too speak of this new world, "I am here too explain both the current risk and potential gains from this, first off if you cultivate entering this world is a danger as the energy of this world will attempt too remove all foreign energy from the person but as long as an energy barrier is set then it is fine and you can even have entire communities but it does mean we are innately disadvantaged in a fight with native creatures or intelligent species."
I see people glancing at each other clearly thinking of what this meant, a new place too send their over running population of normal people with low talent and a place too get potentially unique things a win-win for them.
I continue, "Their is however a great worth here as the creature is consumed will cause mutations and if you eat the right fruit it will only cause physical enhancements without the mutations meaning you can use the things here too jump in physique and status for your body and even normal people can eat some too mutate and become more resilient too the harsh environment."
I see the spark of greed occur as they realize it is a quick way too physical strength and that it even allowed normal people too need even less care and aide then before.
I speak the next part, "The area we know of is only desert based area with an oasis with a base currently numbering 2000 people as of now completely self reliant for food and water with a complete basic potions also being self raised and produced, we also have been able too make our own basic tools and items using the metal and rock here."
I can see that everyone is smiling in joy as this news just gets better and better from each passing word, completely self reliant with a means too rapidly improve ones self and safe for normal people a truly perfect place too use.
I continue explaining tiny nuances of this new world and the monsters in it along with the potential chimera outcome but no one is worried over that, they can just let someone else test out the level requirement for that as they have plenty of prisoners too use as experimental products and test subjects.
I finish up and give small polite bow before once more taking my seat after seated the food come out and conversations start up in fervor as they all talk of what they will try and do what they want too get and how much payment for such thing will probably be.
I have many ask me of things from this new world but anything dealing with prices and accessibility are sent too Wyatt and his family too answer as I am not privy too such information, slowly people begin too start asking about me and my family what I like and even begin too talk of their daughters and siblings, I can't help but shift slightly at this part due to the discomfort I feel at this.
I may have grown up in this world but some things of my own world remains and the right too find a partner on ones own is one of the few I have held onto.
I know here an arranged marriage is common and many view it in a good light as ones parents guarantee ones future safety and monetary abilities so it is viewed as their way of showing they care for you, especially for high class families if they get you married into a higher family it shows they did everything they could too guarantee your future success.
It is simply their way of showing love and care but I spent too much time watching my parents who married for convenience and just can't think of anything beyond that, I want too be the one too choose my partner and Lucien has obliged by that due too knowing this.
I can see them looking down on Lucien due too me not already being arranged but I tell them my past makes it so I wish too find my own partner and they back off, usually only the highest standing families like Wyatt's would allow the child too choose as they really can't do any better and matching too a family or the same strength is not possible with many as so too prevent inbreeding it is also why most high standing nobles intermarry with talented commoners too prevent it.
So it is a common event for the wife of the heir too be a commoner with incredible talent, while the second or third child is the ones arranged for a marriage into another house.
All species do this too make sure of diversity in their community and the less the community the more common arranged marriages become, going against a marriage like this without viable reason is highly frown upon as it is seen as selfishness for the child to ignore the parents goodwill.
I am not biological child and come from a traumatizing past so they are much less harsh or criticizing of this due too those two reasons, this world is a very open love world so marriages are usually open ended as long as nay child had is brought and taken care of by the family and the wife knows whether the child is her husbands or not.
As long as both are done it is fine for many married couples too have people outside the marriage or even marry multiple whether it be the male or female with multiple partners.
By the end of the dinner I am tired and worn out from all the political talk and strict mannerisms I followed the whole night meaning when I return too base I shower in the private bathroom and then go to bed with it being warm and nice outside right now due too summer I am fine sleeping in only a bathrobe so when I awaken too a knock on my door I get up and check with only it on.
Wyatt is at the door and stops for a second before speaking, "Get dressed and ready too leave, you will be returning too the new world in an hour and you need to be dressed and ready as foreign people will be there too see it so make sure your uniform is worn properly."
I immediately go back too my room too get ready and notice I am in only a nearly completely open bathrobe that barely covers the important parts.
I am red in the face as I brush my teeth, comb and put up my hair that has gotten all the way past my shoulders and too my shoulder blades, after applying deodorant I get dressed in uniform and head out too Wyatt still standing in front of my door. I ignore the heat of my face and follow him to the portal with many dignitaries standing around with high grade clothes on, I even recognize a few from last night at dinner.
I am flanked by ten people also in uniform and wearing a badge with a black with rainbow swirl with a single sword that is pitch black with a purple outline to distinguish it over the portal design, they are the otherworld soldiers from what I know and will represent the military in the other worlds for wars.
You need at least A-grade too join as they were viewed as the only ones that don't require a energy barrier too survive at least a day in the other world so if anything went wrong they have a chance of survival and escape while B-grade only last half a day and can act the part of support personnel.
Slowly the army is building and with other continents now also joining completely the military is skyrocketing but most of the soldiers for this military are void people and they can go over as long as they reach B-grade as that is the lowest they can be too be able too survive the integration and not need barriers at all and those like me can join at any level as they will not be in danger due too lack of energy barrier.
Normal people will be allowed over but will have too eat one of the mutation vegetables and grow crops and herbs but they will be paid handsomely over there due too dangerous environment and poor situation.
Slowly rules have come about on who can send how many and what level they need too be able to enter the new world and now that others know the rules are truly falling into place.
Now that their is an army able to live without the barrier I will join them too study this worlds climate, creatures, and people as we need too know if the people of this world will be hostile or friendly and if they will be willing too fall under our rule or only trade.
I enter through the portal and the inability too breathe is ignored due too being prepared and I come out inside of a building made of pure metal.
Their is soldiers all over here and a man with black hair and eyes along with black scaled wings and long curling horns approaches he is tall and muscled clearly a more heavy lifter build then runner build, his uniform shows 8 black swords over a portal swirl like the men with me signifying his position as a major general.
This is the second brother that Wyatt told me about and my new superior while in this world, I salute with my hand over my heart in a act of respect and he nods in approval.
"At ease and follow me you are the one coming with us to aide in diplomacy as well as too study the new creatures and plants, you will heal and buff us as well so you will be supplying support in combat so you will have a very full and busy plate and I expect no slacking." He says and then leaves with us following behind, we leave the current building and the barrier from earlier has been made into a bigger one as well as a bunch of buildings have been put up all of them metal most likely the metal from this world.
There is only ten buildings and around 500 soldiers but nine out of ten of them are void people and this is meant to be the stake out location of the army so these are probably all soldiers that will be on the expedition.
We will leave for two weeks a week journey out and back too test the waters and if successful then the scouting will be longer and longer until all the current area is scouted and a intelligent population is discovered, meaning it will probably be many expeditions before we will be given a proper break.
I stay with them the next two days and we then take only 100 people with all but me and nine others being void people it is easy too see they are testing the survivability of those not void people in this environment before risking too many lives.
We spend the first day going around the base area with a cartographer who is a normal person making a map of the area and also of any water or animal spots which there is a small one about half a days trip out from the portal. We need too know all potential needs locations and any potential dangerous spots for non cultivators nearby, but their is only lizards mostly in this region and we have only seen one bird in the air and it ate the shrubs at the watering hole meaning it is a herbivore as it ignored all the lizards there and they even approached it.
So no large danger here most likely due too the chimera that I had killed.
We then spend the rest of the two weeks mapping in circles around the area and get another oasis cave about a 6 day run from the portal too the location and that is for a normal cultivator for people it would probably be a 2 week trip one way.
Little animal activity and a desert biome means this is probably a dead spot but dead spots usually only happen in either extreme conditions like volcanoes or because something powerful lives there and this things are physically powerful no way the high heat and lacking water would stop them so the only thing is something powerful.
We make this guest but we haven't seen anything of such nature here so we can only guess and lookout for potential dangers, and on the next expedition we find it about two week run away from base is a massive snake hiding under the sand and sleeping. It is easily the size of a bus and the scales are pure white making it hard too spot n the sand even with it's abnormal size if not for the energy detectors we may have ended not even noticing till too late as it hid from all of our senses and detection methods.
Horned desert viper is the name given as it has white horns on it's head and a clearly poisonous fang as we see it hunt a car sized lizard b biting it and watching it twitch before eating it still partially alive.
We mark it as a watch area and head back after having mapped about 1400 miles and almost all dead lands, with only about five water spots and three oasis spots in the area we have three spots to set up new bases and watch locations at, so we begin by getting a barrier there before taking some of the prisoners at the first base too the two new locations too build and defend.
The first base has metal homes completely self functioning food, water, and hygiene areas with many mines and farms for work while being in a very safe position near the portal making it a perfect place too take colonizers and other continents too for introduction.
I here that all but the necessary prisoners are being moved too the two new spots while the people form other continents and people from our continent are being brought in too replace them in the first base making it a true town and colony not just a base or military location, they intend for high charges and only those that will work are allowed too come without that but if they can't keep up will be thrown back too the origin world.
I know it will be a bit more before everything is settled but I know that eventually there may even be children born in that first town in a new world.
I hope by then we will be in complete peace and agreement with the natives.
