I spend the next half a year after the twenty-first floor going between one month in the tower and one month in the military training and me and Wyatt have begun to get closer as I have no secrets left to keep from him and he from me so we speak of all the things in our lives without having to change details to hide stuff.

The three tower floor were all passed but none where in the top three or even top ten as I have gotten purely attack type teams for the floors and most floors are diverse requirements to pass but they simply are over reliant on me to do as they wish.

I was even once tempted to let a team member die because they didn't seem too understand I am also wasting energy by healing them, buffing them and for that floor also playing the role of tracker. It's clear that I am expected to do nothing but sit and watch and play bedside maid to those in the team, their have even been a few that thought to use me as bait at first as they first thought of me as dead weight.

A kick in the balls set that man straight on that thought real quick and even let me not get bossed around too much for a floor but the other two it was nothing short of me barely resisting the urge to strangle someone.

I am now on the 25th floor and am currently doing my military training month when a report came in to Wyatt, I was needed for a mission.

Only me and Wyatt came to the mission debriefing location that was a enchanted sealed room, their was the black masked man with the golden swirl there and I stand to attention to the continent protector.

The man in the mask speaks, "You're the only one we are certain can survive on another planet once a portal is open meaning for many portal test we have used death row inmates to test what killed the inmate when we threw them through. One of the inmates that wasn't a cultivator survived the transmission and returned meaning we believe we have found that world hoppers original world as the energy brought back is the same as that found on the body."

I suck in a breathe as I know what this means, it means I am going to go through to set up base and the experimental location for more testing on that side essentially I am a front line infantry unit with no information or knowledge of what I am being sent into.

"You will be given enough supplies to last a year along with many lab gear and emergency base set up items, we hope that you will send back all that you can learn of this new world and of the bodies of those sent through so as to find an alternative way to enter the world without causing the integration affect. Also find out as much as you can of the government there and how they will most likely react as well as any of their sides people willing to fall under our rule, we hope at a year from now more comrades will be sent to you for back up." He finishes up his orders and Wyatt leads me too a warehouse packed to the brim with items.

"You know the stuff you need to know for set up and what to use for basic things but their are items here that are more finicky and need you to be delicate with so you will be given instructions on what you should do with it and you are not to do anything else with it but that." Wyatt says and the next week is spent learning how to use those machines when everything is packed and ready.

I stand in front of a a rainbow and black swirling disk standing in the air similar to a tunnel but without the suction force or the mass energy distortion effect usually seen with the tunnels.

I take a deep breathe look at the Lucien who is here to see me off along with Nilan and Wyatt who will act as my direct superior and ultimate commander for this excursion, I turn back around and step through the spinning mass of energy and it is like the feeling of swimming in gel thick and viscous with no way to breathe it last for about a minute before stumbling out with a small gasp in a hot arid desert with a massive lizard the size of a car on this side.

I immediately back off to test hostility and the lizard ran away without so much as a hint of trouble, I relax when I feel a uncomfortable feeling behind me and turn to see a thing that looks human but like it has been mixed with a hyena and a scorpion.

Shit.

I see it attempt to grab me with it's pinchers crossed with hands and I dodge it while attacking with all my might trying to guarantee a quick fight to prevent unknown problems, it slices through the thing quite easily like a sword through slime that is not what I had been expecting but okay then I guess the are poor defense then.

I scan the area and find a small oasis only half a mile in a cave and it is perfect for surviving such a place so that is where I will set up the base, I put traps around the portal to prevent anything from here going over there though if anything did it probably wouldn't survive any disease it had could.

I enter the cave and it large with a beautiful clear water stream the came from the rock face in front and vanished down a bunch of cracks in the stone surrounding the pond it has formed.

There is some vegetation and no dangerous animals or creature nearby meaning it is ripe for me to make my claim here and not have to argue or fight with anything to claim this territory, making it the perfect spot to set up a base.

I already completed an early mission by hunting a unique specimen of this world and finding a safe place so I begin to set up the basic tents along with defenses as the army will send supplies through with the prisoners who have a slave enchantment collar placed around their necks to prevent problems are runaways.

With a basic set up done and it having only taken 12 hours it will be another 12 hours before the first test batch is sent through to me and I am fortunate the energy powered watch works the same her or time keeping would be a pain as even after 12 hours the sun has barely moved halfway across the sky. A day on this planet is not the same as a day in our planet but fortunately I have a cave so the sun won't bother too much for those who survive.

A mixture of cultivators and non cultivators will be sent through and I am too track and record all that happens after their arrival for data and they will only send one every hour for ten hours before stopping for the day and starting back up on the next day so most will be long dead before the next shows up.

I wake to the alarm I set going off and put on my uniform as I head out to tess- I mean look out for our next member, the person to come through is clearly a cultivator so I put him in the emergency medical cabin to scan energy and wait while doing basic scans and look overs while writing in the report all that was happening and after only 5 minutes he is officially pronounced dead but a strange thing is being seen as he appears infected with something I make sure to write this in the report for all bodies from here to be sealed off and treated like a Demon patient.

I put the body in a air proof bag and a biohazard sign on it along with the space bag the part human part animal thing from earlier.

I ship it through and return to base to get out of the setting but still hot son, but when the next person is to come it is already night out and it appears a day in our world in half a day here, good thing to report to the scientist on the other side in the next report.

The person to come through next isn't a cultivator as is seen by the small amount of pain but he gets over it in the next ten minutes and I take him back to base.

He is given the orders to stay in the medic tent prepared and not to go looking around he is also told he is not to touch anything or attack anything unless it attacks him first, I log his physical signs and genetic data before sending over samples and my notebook for them to analyze while I get another notebook ready for the next person to come through.

The next person collapses but this time he survives for over 20 minutes and through the whole process I scan his energy with the scan tube along with keep track of his physical state and discover that he is a C-rank cultivator unlike the first one that was only F-rank.

I note all this down and ask them too send the next one through with and energy barrier up when they pass through as the energy produces natural barriers he higher the level and that is most likely difference that lead to him surviving longer, I send the body through the portal and wait for the next one to come as I look around for any thing that may be edible and at the thirty minute mark find a lizard the size of a normal lynx.

The next person arrives and the energy barrier around them is thick the person is clearly at least a low B-rank and he doesn't have any signs of rejection but his barrier only last ten minutes before he begins to integrate, he dies forty minutes after entering this world.

We have a hint at how to survive short term but not long term so I send the report through along with the body.

The next person comes only ten minutes after I finish sending the body of the other through and this one is in pain for a bit but is ultimately fine as he is not a cultivator but he says he was given a report to give me and I take him back to base after sending the lizard body through along with a note for asking if edible.

We need a permanent means of food for any long term survival here as if a colony is made or a military base food supply is needed, we return to base and he tells me "The government will send the next through with a barrier enchantment and they want you to set one up at base along with around the portal." I nod my head nod give this new tess- I mean our next member the same instruction as the last one and head out to the portal.

This will be the sixth person to come through and will probably be a normal person again as they won't throw away test subjects before the next test, I see the person stumble through like the last two when a difference happens and a soon as he is through he begins to vomit blood and his veins turn black I put him in the scan tube.

I grab the space bag he had on him off him and watch the events unfold while scanning the body and discover he is mutating animal traits of some type of lizard.

I take out the orders from the space bag and see they decided to test if the lizard I sent through is edible with the next one they sent through and it is clear, no you can't eat the things here we also now know how the thing from when I first arrived came to be now.

I need more time before they send the next person to study this so I send through a report to alert them of the situation, after two hours of the man in the tube slamming his body around he finally stops and then attempts to attack me when the enchantments on him sense the action and blows his head off. I send the body back through along with everything that was scanned while then setting up the enchantment for an hour later when the next will be sent through it covered only around ten feet around the portal.

I then return to base to tell them not to eat anything killed here and they seem uncomfortable by this statement but agree and I set up the barrier the size of 445 acres and covering three fourths of the cave, enough for some farming when they get too testing plant from our world in this one.

I pluck some plants to also test if they will have the same effects and send them through the portal in bio bags along with some water from the pond, when all is done I have spent three hours on this one person because of the unexpectedness of such a situation I make sure I have two emergency scanners this time incase a similar situation occurs in the future along with setting up a small tent beside the portal in the barrier to it aside any future members for incase of this.

At the three hour mark the next person comes through with a thick metal collar on compared to the usual bracelets that is on both wrist, it is easily three inches thick and covered in enchantments and made of a earth energy iron for increased weight and hardness.

Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.

I stiffen up as I know this means she is a high-grade person most likely top A-rank or even potentially S-rank.

I look at her as she stares back, she has silver hair and black eyes along with enchantment tattoos on her body, I take in a deep breath as I speak "You will put up a barrier around your body then follow me to the next destination you are not to drop the barrier until told to do so and do not attack or eat anything here without orders, even if it attacks you evade do not counter attack without being told to do so."

With her higher level it is clear I need to be sure to be thorough in my orders or big problems could appear, she scoffs but puts up the energy barrier and follows me out of the enchantment barrier she is fine for the ten minute trip to the base area when we enter the enchantment barrier there I get her too drop her own barrier.

I decide too use her as a guard and so she is given new commands, "You are not to leave the barrier without my say so but I give you permission to kill anything that tries to enter or leave it without me beside it.

I take her too as separate tent that is meant for only ten people instead of fifty like the tent those other two are in.

She doesn't have any report from the military for me so once orders are given she is released to do as she wills as long as it doesn't endanger my or the other twos lives as her collar prevents her from doing something like that without orders.

I write the medical report after scanning her and return to the portal were the next person is to come through in five minutes, I wait when the person comes through and he begins to show sign of illness and immediately I put him in the emergency medical pod that has a built in scanner and he shows similar signs as the one to eat the lizard so I take the space item he dropped after coming through and see the military report.

They fed him a cultivator the meat too see if even with the barrier it was mutative as when the other ate it on our side he was fine so if a change occurs the it is a mixture of thing on this side that is making it mutative, over the next thirty minutes he withers and groans but although there is scales and his nails are sharper he is mostly human and his physique has increased exponentially.

He doesn't wake so I transfer him to the tent I set up and send the medical report through for them too study, the report sent said they are currently genetically identifying the plants but they will mix some in with the meat as well as feed it to people on it's own too see if edible.

A person comes through before the last one has woken so I haven't left the portal, he is perfectly fine with no signs of problems he is also a F-rank like the last one and he gives me the report while I take him into the tent and he freeze.

He stares at the one hat came before that has scales over ten percent of his face but covers his arms along with his legs and sharp nails that are now as hard as steel.

He remains quiet and sits obediently in the scan machine as I read the report after reading it I sign at the mans luck as he was given the lizard meat but it was soaked in a blue leaves from a bush that I had collected and sent, after the scan finished it is discovered he isn't unchanged just that he didn't show signs like the other and his physique although not as enhanced as the other had increased by ten percent.

I take the exam along with the data from the other who has still yet too awaken and send it though the portal while waiting for the one who has now grown scales too awaken and he did only thirty minutes after the other appeared and ten minutes after I had sent the report.

He promptly freaks at his arms and nails but is forced to do nothing as he glares in hatred at me due to the bracelets on him wrist that will blow his head open if he did but is is clear he wants me dead, I do a scan and he has too cooperate and once finished I send the update through for them to know of the situation.

The tenth and final person for the next twelve hours comes through with the other two still in the tent and me waiting outside when he begins to wither and cough up blood before dying in ten minutes the entire thing is scanned by the medical pod and it is interesting.

The report they sent said that he was given both the lizard meat and a bit of the yellow flower from the cave I had sent and what killed him is internal energy fight, like from two different worlds, apparently he already showed signs of illness after eating it and most likely something in the air here caused him to be pushed over the edge as they had fed someone both the lizard meat and water and the transformation occurred without entering this world so the water molecules in the air had a hand in the transformation process.

So the yellow flower that looked similar to a lily of the valley flower appeared to have a restrictive effect on this along with energy but the flowers worked better then energy does to prevent mutations while energy allows mutations but also enhances strength more.

I take the two back after sending all the information gathered and the two see the body as I send it through, they are too low level for a self made energy barrier so I give them a enchantment item to protect them but it can only last thirty minutes with the energy provided so after returning to base they hand it back over and are taken to the lunch hall where everyone will be to introduce.

The three in the hall freeze as they stare at the man with scales because a lizard beastman has a tail and slit eyes and he lacks both along with the scales being a bright fuchsia which don't exist in our world so he isn't a beastman.

He is the same color as the lizard he ate and after they are told that they look at the nutrient potions in their hands with a look of relief.

They appreciate they aren't the ones to suffer this so, but the other one says they also ate lizard they look worried and I reply he also ate a flower that appeared to restrict it and also he is lucky he didn't nd up like the last one as the last one ate the lizard while drinking water from here and he died due to it.

They look at the pretty stream and pale as they realize that it could kill them but the higher rank one has remained calm through the whole process and she gives me a request that surprises me.

"You say it enhanced them after eating it and eating only the lizard had the best effect if we eat something else will the effect be potentially better, because I killed a bright neon yellow amur tiger earlier and it is clearly quite powerful. I request to have one of the lower ranks ones eat it and if they have better effects I wish too do so as well without the flower." I am surprised but I say I will send the request tomorrow to perform the test, she smirks at the two people who ate the lizard.

She says at them, "You will probably also take a bite from it along with me to see if it can be stacked so enjoy the time you have."

I see the two pale rapidly but say nothing as it is probably the truth as they will be ordered to be the ones to try unless another like them is sent through tomorrow and that is unlikely as they already done the experiment once, if it can be stacked it will be a massive boost too people and it will without a doubt be agreed too.

I go too sleep in my separate single ten meant for a commander, it is nice being the main person here as I get to keep all the good things.

The next day I get up and eat and the two who ate the lizard are listless as they drink the potions, heading too the portal I decide to hunt for the two hours before they start too send people and find three animals one is a sand cat like creature but with long fangs and green fur, another lizard with red scales and a black belly, and a legless lizard with pure white coloring and some energy in it that is most likely this worlds version of mental and spirit energy.

But I notice I have yet to sense any energy in the air like that and the body of the dead have the energy but most items here don't, why though.

I send all three through the portal along with the request ten minutes before the person is meant to come through, it is still night time but it is now almost mid night as a day has almost passed sense night descended.

The person that comes through next is another F-grade person that as soon as he passed through began to have a epileptic seizure and died only ten minutes later, I read the report and it say yes the test can be done along with that they will send more F-grades through that haven't ate anything too test with and that this person ate both the lizard and a blue fruit that is like a star squash.

No suppression effect but is similar to water which is probably due too the water content of the thing, I wonder if only the water will do anything they will probably do that soon so I put the medical report and the body through the portal when the portal began to flicker I feel my heart drop but do not return.

I wait an hour near the portal when a F-grade person comes through, so far all the people sent through have been human as humans have the highest crime rate and amount of population.

This new one is of the enchantment race with black skin, pink hair and green emerald eyes, he is pretty like most of his kind are and nothing else happens when he comes through so other species but humans can exist here to an extent like most humans.

It will be interesting too see what happens when I feed him the amur tiger meat, we return too base and I see the the woman smirk at the man while the other four at base look at him in pity.

I then bring him too the medical tent set up and give him the meat too eat and he does so with a look of fear and within seconds collapses from pain, I keep him in the high grade medical bad with a better scanning ability too send the report back too the government.

Unlike with the lizard even after ten minutes he is dead not stronger and the report is sent back too the government along with the body too send a higher grade one for the experiment.

The next one sent through is D-grade and also eats the meat and last an hour before succumbing too the meat and the body along with medical reports are sent too them, it is clear that the meat can only be eaten by those of higher strength or they will die during the transformation.

The next one sent through is C-grade and he succeeds the transformation but he is more like a monster attacking anything then a human and it is clear that this is the reason those two people didn't transform when they ate the lizard meat because they weren't strong enough but not too weak so as too die.

She is most likely completely safe too eat the meat and I tell her as such and the other two were told we don't need them too eat it as they will get nothing from that, they sigh in relief as they live another day.

She decides too wait for the next one sent through and they send a B-rank through this time as well as a note saying this is the last one for this experiment.

He eats it and the next two hours he transforms and after he has patches of fur on his body and it is neon yellow like the creature he is tripled in physique and even his energy is more instinctive making it's control easier and smoother.

The fifth one is sent through during the process and like I had guessed it was an F-grade given only water from this world but meat from our world and a interesting event occurs as he appears too also undergo the transformation but the enhancement fails leaving him as weak as a five year old and his mental realm destroyed leaving him brain dead.

I sent him back through in a body bag like that and with his medical along with the B-ranks medical report, he isn't finished transforming at this point but it is clearly mush better then the C-grade and showing far greater effects then the lizard did.

The next one sent through is a dwarf and he is also B-grade so I am ordered too give him the meat too see if their will be a different reaction and I do so and he doesn't as he transforms just like a human. I send this report with the body of the next one sent through the portal as the next one is sent through after eating a vine from here and he immediately begins to throw up blood and collapse after two hours he appears to have merged with the vine and attacks using vine pieces on his body, note too self the plants aren't safe either and I watch his head explode.

The dwarf is done mutating and the B-rank human is awake when the seventh one is sent through and this one is D-rank and was given the lizard meat alone, he finishes the transformation in only thirty minutes and is awake at forty minutes but he isn't over he needs too eat another slice of meat from a different lizard and I have a slice from the red and black one from the government that is 2 inches thick and ten inches long with a width of five inches.

I feed him this prepared slice and he collapses again but doesn't show any new symptoms so he should be fine and he is as two hours after the second slice he has a dark burgundy color scales with flicks of black.

During this another two are sent through and the last one is about too come through but one of the ones sent through is a A-rank meant to be used too test more powerful meat if found and a normal person too farm as he is trained in it and has all the items with him so no body is sent through this time and there is another five members too our growing group.

The last person sent through too join the us is a researcher and is specialized in Geology and studying metals so he is meant too see if anything here can be used so I expect a bunch of non cultivators tomorrow as to help these two out as both are F-ranks and can't leave the barrier for studying.

I take the six people back once the dwarf awakens and he has the fur like the first one but more on his chest and feet then his face so his body rather then face got hair, a funny thing as they prefer their beards too other parts so it not growing any upsets the dwarf who take to the transformation better then most. He is also goin to be helping in finding metals and mining as he can hold an energy barrier for an hour so can find the best mining spots.

I introduce them and the people here welcome them and the A-rank joins the woman in her tent while the two researchers are given tents for their respective needs while the rest go to the tent meant for forty people in it, two in the ten person tent, one in the farming tent, two in the geology ten, leaving six people in the forty person tent but I expect that number will increase tomorrow.

I return to my personal tent and wonder when non criminals will be sent through but the world is too new so only once true colonization will be most likely time.

I can't wait too see Lucien and Nilan again as it is true it will be strange too be in another world for as long as they expect I will be here, which is most likely several years except for my advancement which will not be for another five months as it has already been seven months since my last advancement.

I will have celebrated my 23rd birthday within another world as it has been 11 months since I turned 22 and it is coming up, my last birthday was spent locked at home due too military personal and now it will be spent in this other world truly my luck with my birthday has been bad these past few times.

Laying in the bed I look at the roof of metal and fabric and think of how nice it would be too have at least someone else I knew with me preferably Wyatt who I trust second only too Lucien and Nilan.

I turn on my side and close my eyes, letting sleep claim me.
