《The Man Who Fell From the Sky》


 prologue (The man who fell from the sky)

    On the nineteenth of the fifth month. The year of the sky. I, the head mage am leading the strongest army that ever walked on this continent with 20,000 elite mages, 80,000 cavalry and 200,000 knights. I¡¯m standing looking at my enemy getting closer. ¡°Cease your advancement!¡± the enemy general shouted ¡°we do not wish to wage war¡±. Heh, it¡¯s funny how he thinks a sentence will stop our conquest. I used magic to amplify my voice and stated ¡°we will not stop, not until men start falling from the sky¡±.


    Dooooom!!!


    Wha¡­the ground is shaking. Something just fell!! *cough cough* the dust is blinding me. I¡¯ll make sure to ask the king for compensation. Oh the dust is clearing, something is coming out. My eyes opened wide and I held my breath. It¡¯s a MAN!!!

 Chapter 1

    ¡°Good morning, this is Alice Kris telling you this morning¡¯s news. Today NA*A announced that Dr.Sirocyl Benjamin has officially built the Cosmos Gate and shall proceed with the tests. If the testing succeeds we¡¯ll be able to travel to other worlds. Rejoice! For we will start a new Era, an Era of world travelling. Perhaps after a few years, other races and creatures from different worlds will normally walk on our streets. However, a few countries have rejected the idea and are against it, they think of it as a threat. Now we¡¯ll get calls from people to express their opinion about thi-¡°

    ¡°Brother!! Why did you switch off the radio??¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s annoying.¡±


    ¡°But they are speaking about father~~.¡±


    ¡°We already know what happened, anyway we¡¯re going to arrive soon.¡±


    ¡°Really!! That means we¡¯ll be able to go to father¡¯s laboratory soon~.¡±


    ¡°Yes Angela, and we¡¯ll witness the testing.¡±


    ¡°Waa~~ I hope it succeeds.¡±


    *break* *stop*


    ¡°It will.  We¡¯re here, let¡¯s go.¡±


    *        *       *


    ¡°Father~~.¡±


    ¡°Hello Alex, Angela.¡±


    ¡°Hey, father.¡±


    ¡°Did you start the experiment?¡±


    ¡°No, we are about to do it right now. You two came right on time.¡±


    ¡°Good, let¡¯s go Angela.¡±


    ¡°Yes brother~.¡±


    Right now. I¡¯m standing before this Gate that my father invented. I asked my dad to let me be the first one to test it but he refused. So they are going to test the gate using a doll with a camera; to see what will happen to the doll.


    My sister, Angela is as excited as me to see the gate works. They are getting the doll and the camera ready to go inside the gate.


    They tied a rope around the doll, in case something happens they will pull it back.


    ¡°Finally, they are going to start the experiment~.¡± Said my sister.


    They activated the gate and then threw the doll inside. On the screen there was a sky. A beautiful sky, nothing else.


    The camera stopped working!!


    ¡°The rope is...!¡±


    It¡¯s as if someone is pulling the rope. If this continues the rope is going to end!!


    I ran as fast as I could and tried to pull the rope. Instead, I was the one pulled. I tried to stop, but it was of no use. My legs were skidding the floor. No one is noticing they are all too focused on getting back the picture. I have to call for help.


    Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform. Support original creators!¡°Father, help.¡± I said


    But, before anyone could help me I was pulled inside.


    *        *       *


    I felt like I was flying in the sky. But when I opened my eyes, I was actually falling from the sky.


    ¡°AHHHHHHHH¡± I started shouting. Then I realized shouting wouldn¡¯t help.


    The scenery was really beautiful. The deep clear azure sky was a sight to marvel at. I just want to sit down and drink tea while watching the horizon............ IF ONLY I WASN''T FALLING!!!


    This is tiring. I''m spinning too much, I have a headache and I''m getting dizzy. My breaths are shallow because of the lack of oxygen, really did I kidnap a princess in my past life?? I don¡¯t deserve this. Ugh I want to go back home so much. I wonder what dad and sis are doing right now.


    After what seems like an eternity, I finally see something. It¡¯s a palace, however it''s... Floating!?? Ugh whatever I experienced too much today, I don''t care anymore. Anyway I¡¯ll try landing near the palace.


    FINALLY, I''m getting near the palace and I can clearly see it. It''s huge and feels so majestic... I try to grab a pillar to stop myself and the palace disappears. Wha... WHAT!!


    UGH I DON''T CARE ANYMORE!!


    You want to disappear, then do that!!


    F***, I feel so angry and irritated!!


    I can see something down there, it¡¯s green and spreads far and wide. Yes you know it, It''s LAND!! Yay I''m going to land..... Wait, I''m going to land?? AHHHHHHHH I''m going to land and die!!! I''m getting closer, there is a huge gathering of people but what''ll that do. I''M GOING TO DIE AND NOBODY CAN HELP!!!! *sniff sniff* goodbye life, goodbye everybody. Sorry mother and father for being such a rebellious son, sorry sis for not being a better elder brother. Farewell my short and boring life.


    ............................................... * Doooooooom*

 chapter 2

    I opened my eyes only to see the bright sun above my head. Wait¡­ I¡¯m still alive??


    I hurriedly stood up and dusted my clothes. When I looked around I was surprised to see a huge crater underneath me. However, the two armies on both of my sides were more astonishing. I tried to be polite so I smiled and said ¡°Excuse my interruption, by all means continue.¡± I turned around and stared walking.


    ¡°STOP!¡± shouted a man who was standing in front of one of the armies. His pose and demeanor was that of a warrior. Golden patterns were engraved on his white armor, and the emblem on his back reminded me of my world¡¯s Christian cross. He seems to be the general. Speaking of which, the person standing in front of him didn¡¯t lose. Even though he looked a bit frail and old, he was filled with dignity and elegance, and his eyes spoke of wisdom. He was wearing a loose robe embroidered with silver glowing threads, holding a long staff with gigantic gem on top. I wonder how expensive that was.


    ¡°Y-yes?¡± I answered with anxiety.


    ¡°Who are you? And where did you come from?¡± Asked the general in the robe.


    ¡°My name is Alex. I came from up there.¡± I said while pointing at the sky.


    ¡°Is he a dragon?¡± Whispered one of the soldiers.


    ¡°No, no he¡¯s probably a celestial.¡± Claimed another soldier.


    ¡°Why would a celestial descend??¡±


    Those soldiers sure have a good imagination.


    ¡°SILENCE!¡± Shouted the warrior general.


    ¡°I¡¯ll ask you one more time. Where did you come from?¡± asked the general with a robe.


    I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a good idea to tell them the truth. They wouldn¡¯t believe me anyway. I should just lie and get the hell out of here.


    ¡°I was traveling and an accident occurred.¡± I¡¯ll leave it to their imagination.


    ¡°I see¡­ HOLY KAEL! Today I claimed that if a man fell from the sky we shall stop, and a man did fall, it seems luck is on your side. WE SHALL STOP! But do keep in mind that our conquest WILL never stop. We shall meet again on the battle field that is.


    After he finished saying that, the robed general turned to look at me and smiled while saying. ¡°Now, young man come with us. How can I possibly let the reason of our conquest¡¯s delay to walk off??¡±


    I can¡¯t trust them, but I can¡¯t run away, and I need a place to stay in until I know what I¡¯ll be doing next.


    ¡°Very well, I accept the invitation, and I hope there will be no enmity between us.¡± I said to the robed general.


    ¡°Good.¡± He replied


    Afterwards, the men took their mounts and started their march towards their country with long, albeit solemn faces.


    After a while, I mustered my courage and said ¡°Umm¡­ Sir, might I ask who you are?


    ¡°I am the head mage of sarion sorcerer¡¯s dynasty ((Lispen traverse)).¡±


    ¡°Sir. Lispen?¡±


    ¡°You may call me that, let¡¯s go.¡±


    I sat on the general¡¯s horse behind him. The ride was by no means entertaining¡­ Especially when I spent it hugging a man¡¯s back¡­ Totally not enjoyable. A few soldiers snickered while passing, and some looked at me with contempt, probably because I couldn¡¯t ride a horse. You cannot blame me after all I spent all my life studying, and studying. Trying my best to fulfill my father¡¯s expectations I even helped him build the cosmos gate.


    You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.My thoughts were interrupted by the general¡¯s question ¡°What are you thinking, boy?¡±


    ¡°Nothing. By the way, how long will it take us to arrive to the capital of your dynasty?¡± I asked.


    ¡°First we¡¯ll go to our colony city and organize the troops, then we¡¯ll depart for our two weeks journey to the capital [Evan garde].¡±


    ¡°Evan Garde?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Yes, Evan Garde is the dynasty¡¯s biggest city, and the center of all trades. Ernst Magical Institute is also located in it.¡± He explained.


    I processed what he said and stopped at a point ¡°Ernst Magical Institute?¡± I asked


    ¡°Yes, it is also the biggest magical institute in the continent. It has the best facilities, and instructors with all different affinities. It is also related to the magical guild, and is funded by the royal academy. Only the best geniuses can enter. How do you not know this? Its common sense, even a poor child would know it.¡±


    ¡°My memory is quite fuzzy, for some reason. Perhaps the fall damaged my brain. Anyway I¡¯ll regain my memories after sometime, probably.¡± I answered to the general¡¯s question.


    After that, I caught a glimpse of the walls surrounding the city. And it was HUGE, easily surpassing fifty meters of length. Soldiers were patrolling on the walls, and when they saw us the opened the gate for us. We marched inside passing by people. Everyone was staring at us with awe and reverence. Some even bowed when they saw sir. Lispen. They didn¡¯t even look at me, perhaps it¡¯s a normal sight for them. A man riding behind their head mage, that is. Passing the bustling streets, we arrived to a mansion. It was a beautiful sight. Gardens surrounded it, giving colour to the white mansion. Sculptors were engraved on the walls, and the marble floor glistened under the sunlight. The mansion wasn¡¯t huge, nut it was extravagant enough for a noble to live in.


    ¡°Is this for a noble?¡± I asked.


    ¡°No. This was the city lord¡¯s mansion, but after we took control of this city we made it the headquarters for our rule.¡± He replied.


    ¡°This city, [Aegis] was known for its impenetrable defense. Forever protecting the empire from heathens, us. Some even claimed it to be a gift from their god [Kael]. However we have conquered it.¡± He continued.


    ¡°What about the people, they didn¡¯t seem hostile?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Of course those people are from the dynasty. All the original citizens escaped to the nearest city. As for those who couldn¡¯t, they killed themselves claiming that they cannot live under the rule of heathens¡­ those fools. Anyway I¡¯ll assign some maids to you and they¡¯ll lead you to your room while I take care of my business. It will take a couple of days meanwhile you can stroll around the city. Keep in mind if you run away I will hunt you down to the end of this world.¡±
