    About this ebook

    Have you ever had a once in a lifetime dream opportunity turn into a waking nightmare? Scott Hunter, freelance beta-tester for Alterra International's new real-life role playing game, has discovered just how hardcore life in a perverted fantasy world can really become.

    Hunted, alone, and unable to return home... will he survive the wilderness and once again reclaim his place in the world? Freelance Saga: Quantum Interference is the second episode in a new series about life, love, and hardcore gaming.

    Author

    Scottie Futch

    I am a former soldier, but current lover of pop-culture. I like anime, manga, comics, animation in general, and zombies. I always have to mention the zombies! Anyway, I spent four years in the US army as an Advance Field Artillery Tactical Data System Specialist. This is a fancy way of saying, "Guy who coordinates the battlefield and makes coffee." I am irreverent in nature. I tend to laugh at the strangest things, and usually those things are inappropriate to laugh at. This sort of fascination with the inane leads me to write comedy stories, and off-the-wall adventures.

      Animal Nature: An Invitation for Reclaiming, Untaming & Being

      Author’s Notes

      This is the second episode of the fantasy game world series Freelance Saga. This series is set in an adult subject matter oriented reality. This episode does not include hardcore erotic content. In fact, the sexual nature of the world is implied more than it is shown in most portions of this installment.

      However, there are instances of men being captured by monsters for use as breeding stock, a food source, or just because they are pretty. There are a few graphic scenes of violence and sexual domination. If this subject matter is not to your taste, it would be best to avoid this series. It should go without saying but this series is meant for mature audiences only.

      Chapter 1: Painful Discovery

      Pain! He awoke to darkness and indescribable, all-encompassing, pain. When his vision returned he was greeted by whirling patterns of light and discordant imagery. His ears betrayed him by playing a dissonant chorus of riotous notes that he could barely decipher.

      Even in his current state it was obvious that something had gone terribly wrong. Scott Hunter, freelance beta-tester, moaned aloud then struggled to sit up.

      He looked down at his hands and saw that they were red, raw. In time he began to put words and feelings into place. His body felt as if it were both frozen and on burning at the same time. It was as though someone had put him into a microwave and hit the popcorn button.

      He struggled against the weakness and pain for a time, and as a reward for his efforts he was finally able to speak the words, What the hell?

      His voice came out as a hoarse croak. It was a damaged sound that greatly reminded him of his equally mistreated body. Scott closed his eyes and relaxed back onto the ground. He did not have the strength to rise. Darkness claimed him once more.

      Time passed and the sun wheeled by overhead. The moons rose and set. It was midday on the following day before he awoke again. This time his injuries were far less severe. He had survived the cold, lonely, night and the rest period had restored some of his strength.

      He looked around bleary eyed then gazed down at his hands. They were no longer red and raw. Instead he was now covered in a myriad number of hideous bruises. Every part of his body protested when he forced his way to his feet.

      What happened to me? He leaned heavily against a nearby tree and tried to catch his breath. Even breathing was a terrific agony.

      Where was he? He did not know. His memories were jumbled and scattered at the same time, a technical impossibility but who was he to judge?

      Tears poured freely as he struggled to move forward. The overwhelming sense of pain was too much and he fell to the ground. More bruises would be added to the collection.

      He reached out and clutched at a clump of grass. The stinging pain of moving his arm allowed him to gather his thoughts and focus his mind. He used the new pain to fight off the effects of his original pain. It was all he had to work with.

      Breathing was hard. His body felt heavy, useless. His chest could barely push against the ground. It did not matter. What mattered was determining what had happened. Scott needed to understand what was happening and why he was in this situation.

      He squeezed the clump of grass, felt the mild stinging pain, and tried to remember. It took a while, far longer than he would have liked, but memories did begin to surface. The game world, he had tried to return to Alterra. The time limit of twenty-four hours had ended and he’d readily attempted the quantum transfer protocol that would allow him to return there.

      Whatever had happened afterward had left a blank spot, a hole in his memories. His sole recollection from that space of
