Meeting the family

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.

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.
