Chapter 1#1

Time Travel

One day while I was walking on the street going back from school at exactly 6:23 pm. I decided to discover a new pathway to go to my house using the map of my smartphone. I discovered a short cut so I decided to take that way. As I'm walking I noticed a blinking light in a distance. I was curious so I look for it and found a thing that looked like a cellphone. I took it up and saw a three button and a piece of paper saying that "This is a time travel device, using this device you could go to a time-lapse by pressing one of the three buttons. The right button will let you travel ten years from now, The middle button will let you go back from your original time while the last button is the opposite of the right button. "I thought it was a prank so I threw it away and I accidentally pressed the right button after that I continued walking towards the street. While I'm walking the buildings structures have changed. I decided to look for my smartphone map and continued walking towards the alley. As I was near to my house I saw that my house really changed a lot and saw 1 person at the window. I thought he was a theft so I ran to my house and suddenly while I was almost near to my house. I noticed that this man just looked like me I stopped for a moment and thought about the time travel device and I said to myself that it is impossible because he's more like 8-10 years older than me. I decided to ask my neighbors but it's already past 7:40 pm so I decided to just talk to him. As I was about to open the door with my key the door suddenly opened and he asks me if who I am. I shouted at him and said this is my house but he shut the door so I kicked it. As I was about to enter he pointed a knife to me and I said I'll call the police if he didn't leave. He said its fine and he said you're the one who will be arrested so I don't care. We waited for about 15mins and the police arrived. They both ask our name and I said mine then they continue through the investigation and Started to rain. After a few second a policeman with a different suit compared to the others came close to me and he pulled out his gun and pointed it to me. He said that he is time police and he said he will kill me right now before I affect the time-space. I was in great fear and he started to pull the trigger but suddenly my body released a ray of energy and after my body became hotter and hotter. I can't believe that time travel is real and thought about the time travel device. I thought that it gets wet because if the rain. Suddenly my body releases a blue colored ray and I woke up at my house I seen my self at my house without any other people except me after that happened I heard a massive explosion coming from where I drew the time travel device. After a few second the explosion sound became louder as I got out I was caught in the explosion still I was a lucky man even if I died I experienced something that the others don't which is the time travel.

The most ferocious and heated mecha adventure around is finally here! TL Note: This is a novel about doing the impossible, seeing the invisible. Follow along for a ride across the universe! TL;DR: Not Shakespeare, not complex, but fun and easy to read. Come support! As the translator, I've enjoyed translating this novel and I hope to bring the essence of what the author has tried to portray into the chapters you will read. To sum it up in 3 words: Mechs! Explosions! Science! To be perfectly honest, this novel is about your typically overpowered protagonist who does get looked down from time to time but always overcomes the odds with his own special power. He's abit more mature having grown up on his own and just a littttttttle bit dense. Although it always ends up with him winning, it always happens in an interesting (subjective) and fun way that makes me enjoy reading this. The novel has elements of lighthearted comedy from time to time and I do chuckle at how direct the humor is. It's not as smart as say WMW nor does it weave an intricate story much like Ergen's novels. More importantly, its fun and it doesn't try to hide it.
