Not dropped. I am working on a new chapter. Actually I was focused on my JEE mains and JEE advanced and now that it is over I am testing a crazy theory about this novel. A crazy outerversal level theory that I'll most likely implement here. Also I was busy cheating in surveys and earning from there so that also took my time. Don't worry, in a week it will start uploading again.

Some confusion is to be expected. It can't go smoothly like a kid's fairy tale, can it? I am building up for a (partial) very big reveal in the near future. And this novel will be full of mysteries.

Are you liking it so far? Cause from your comment history I can see that you binge read it, which tells that it should have been a likeable experience.

It is mostly explained but you can read about it on the wiki. Just search there for the name "zheng zha" and you will get a basic idea of the novel. My story has already deviated from classic terror infinity already, so no need to worry too much, I am just using it as a kind of template, though it is definitely more than just "a simple template".

Did my explanation clear your doubts?

Not exactly, people can be very strange. What he didn't want was unnecessary attention. For example, imagine a normal looking dude committing mass murder without batting an eye and has fighting capabilities that are too good to be true. That would incur suspicion in the future like he got some bonuses at the Beginning that he didn't share with the rest of them. And waking up first is a sure fire way to have the other newbies start trying to leech on you for support. They would want you to carry them and if you refuse then they would absolutely try their best to take ownership of whatever it is that had given you the unnatural capabilities that conflicted their common sense. But in the armor and with how loaded with guns he was, they would assume that he was either a professionally trained person or a psychopath hitman. And by not being the first one to wake would make it a little less suspicious for the veterans. They would believe he was just lucky to arrive here in the way he was. They wouldn't think that he had gotten any additional bonus which should have belonged to them and not him. This is a VERY REASONABLE DEVELOPMENT because of the suspicious nature of changes that GOD had made in the rules of the 'game' suddenly, shifting from horror movies to something entirely different which all the veterans were unable to get any idea of.

first

I dropped a hint in ch1 or ch2 when Alex met with the fake ROB. I wrote something along the lines of " The meeting with the ROB had almost caused Alex's soul to mutate " It is a very reasonable development. That was just the influence of a higher life-form on a lower form. Although it was not a complete mutation (it would have been a bad situation), his soul got a very high affinity to the void as a result. Hint :- The design of Alex's mental space holds secrets older than time. Keep looking for such hints, I drop them frequently.

Woah! I made an accidental JoJo's reference.

sword training in 2 days? What will he learn in 2 days, " space-time f*ckery for dummies, zero to hero level in 20 pages, full money-back guarantee if you don't become a god-killer "? That looks like a scam to me. But as I have stated earlier, he will be getting sword training in dishonored, just after this arc will end, in another 6-7 chapters.

There are 3 reasons, for the 3 adventurers 1. With the seductive girl, she is a magic user , and even if she has any equipment, they would not be so good, else require magic energy. Think yourself, she survived just 2 worlds and had both healing magic and defensive magic. She is not a protagonist, and hence doesn't have enough points to go for a better weapon/defensive item. 2. With the glasses man, he had a half-decent experience with Qi and also had a compatible sword. Hence it is impractical to think he would have another comparable item. Alex also doesn't have sword training (he will learn swordsmanship here) or Qi. 3. With the scarface, he had used up his points to boost his stats and had a Uzi with infinite ammo as his main weapon and might have had a defensive equipment to protect him, but not a magical one. Alex already had his okay-okay armor and his body's build was different. The defensive equipment would not fit him. As for the UZI, it would be better to give it to Corvo who could use it better and prove to be more helpful.

See my other comment. That is how loaded Alex is.

This one.

Yeah, you just need a cheap place to sleep, but with random as* neighbours who do not know the concept of privacy and will randomly intrude into your life, essentially preventing you from doing many necessary things. I mean, just imagine Alex returning late from running everyday, with his body in a messed up condition. Him going to shooting classes, martial arts clubs, as well as being of Indian origins, and therefore having the "coloured skin". With how the people and police there exist in the USA (at least what I have seen in news and social media, I am an Indian so I can't tell if they are true or not), Alex would have been shot down before he could reach the god space. And with how he can't die, do you think the american government or the " pentagon" would leave such a research material? They will be going crazy, trying to weaponize him and finding solutions that lead to, and that can be used against(to reverse) immortality. Just allow the poor man some peace before he has to fight for his life, would you?

No, India is only because of its weak laws. Thus Alex was able to get high amount of his inheritance money, and didn't have to pay unrealistic amounts of taxes. Though he will be in team India, because this body was of Indian origins.

Nope. carter. Randolph carter. HP Lovecraft. lovecraftian horror

To be honest, that might be the only good fanfic of terror infinity actually, aside from side B , but I unfortunately didn't like that. The Btooom arc ruined it for me.

Actually, I got a little inspiration of using video games world in my fic from that one only. Everything is top tier but author dropped it. We lost another gem.
