I Breathe Euro

Jack stood in silence, gazing at the world around him.

It was almost like Earth.

The air was breathable, the sky was blue with streaks of white clouds, and in the distance, he could see what looked like rivers, forests, and even mountain ranges.

But something felt off.

Jack looked down at the ground beneath his feet, noticing that the grass-like vegetation barely reached his ankles. The trees around him, though towering in height, had strange proportions—their leaves were massive, yet their branches were thin, almost fragile-looking.

Then it hit him.

It wasn't the world that was oversized.

He was.

Jack held up his hands, noticing how much larger they looked compared to the trees nearby. He turned and examined his footprints in the soft soil—each step he took left a deep crater.

His heart pounded.

Did the vortex alter my body? Or is it the planet's gravity?

He clenched his fists. His strength felt unchanged, but if he was significantly bigger than everything around him, that meant…

He was a giant in this world.

Jack frowned as a thought crept into his mind.

If Earth's humans came here… would they bring destruction?

He could already imagine it—scientists would want to study the planet, corporations would mine it for resources, and governments would claim territories, sparking wars.

Even if they didn't mean to, humans had a way of bringing chaos wherever they went.

Jack had seen it firsthand.

From the wars that erupted over Aether, to the power struggles over antimatter technology, to the very destruction of Future Island.

No.

He couldn't let Earth's people come here.

This planet, whatever it was, needed to remain untouched by human hands.

For the first time in his life, Jack felt something unexpected—guilt.

His entire life had been about innovation, progress, pushing humanity forward. But now, he wondered…

Had he only been leading them toward ruin?

He shook his head. No time for doubts.

Right now, his only concern was survival.

Jack surveyed the landscape. He needed a shelter.

Even though he was bigger than everything around him, he couldn't assume that meant he was safe. There could still be predators—or worse, intelligent beings who saw him as a threat.

He found a cliffside overlooking a river and decided it was the best location. Water, height advantage, and a solid structure to build against.

Jack rolled up his sleeves and got to work.

Even without tools, his strength was beyond anything a human should have. With just his hands, he ripped boulders from the ground, stacking them into thick walls.

He pulled entire trees from their roots and sharpened them into massive wooden pillars, forming a barrier around the perimeter.

With some effort, he created a massive stone slab to act as a roof, shielding him from the elements.

It wasn't perfect, but it was strong, durable, and hidden from the open plains.

As the sun began to set, Jack stood back and examined his work.

A fortress, built with his own two hands.

This would be his home—for now.

Nightfall and the Unknown Dangers

As night fell, the world changed.

The once bright blue sky now shimmered with purple and gold hues, stars blinking in strange formations.

Jack sat inside his shelter, leaning against the rocky walls, his mind racing with possibilities.

Where exactly was he? How did the vortex alter his body? And most importantly… how would he get back?

A distant roar rumbled through the night.

Jack's instincts flared. Something big was out there.

His grip tightened.

Tomorrow, he would explore.

But for now, he needed rest.

He closed his eyes, listening to the sounds of this strange world.

For the first time in a long time, Jack Williams was truly alone.

The next morning, Jack awoke to the sound of rustling leaves and a distant hum carried by the wind.

His massive size still felt strange to him, but he was adjusting. He had a shelter, he had water, and now—he needed power.

Even though his body could withstand extreme conditions, he couldn't afford to rely on just his strength. If he was ever going to get off this planet, he needed to understand its resources.

A Strange Energy in the Wind

Jack wandered beyond his fortress, moving through the towering trees with ease. Despite their massive leaves, the trunks were thin—as if the planet's atmosphere allowed them to grow tall without needing a strong base.

That's when he noticed it.

The wind wasn't just wind.

It carried something else.

A faint, almost electrical charge passed through Jack's body every time a gust of wind blew past him.

He stood still, letting the air wash over him, and suddenly—his skin tingled.

His suit sensors, despite being damaged, still picked up fluctuations in energy.

There was power in the wind.

Jack hurried back to his shelter and began setting up a crude experiment.

He used metal scraps from his suit, embedding them into the rocky walls. Then, he crafted a simple wind funnel using tree bark and thin vines, trying to direct the flow of air toward a single point.

Then, he waited.

As the wind passed through, he saw tiny sparks flicker against the metal.

His heart pounded.

This world's atmosphere contained a natural energy source!

And if he could harness it…

He could create power from thin air.

Weird Fuel Found in the Soil

While setting up his wind energy collection, Jack also noticed something strange about the soil near his fortress.

It was darker than the surrounding dirt—almost oily in texture—and when he touched it, he felt a faint warmth.

Curious, Jack took a rock, crushed some of the soil into a paste, and set it on fire.

FWOOSH!

The soil ignited instantly, burning hotter than any natural fuel he had ever seen.

Jack took a step back, his eyes wide.

What kind of element was this?

It wasn't just oil. It had properties beyond anything found on Earth.

This was it.

This was the key to everything.

The Path to Energy Independence

Jack now had two discoveries:

1. The wind carried energy—a potential unlimited power source.

2. The soil contained a highly combustible fuel—stronger than anything Earth had.

With these two elements, he could build generators, create heat sources, and maybe even power a spaceship.@@novelbin@@

Jack clenched his fists.

If he could refine these discoveries, he might be able to leave this planet after all.

But first, he needed to test their limits.

Tomorrow, he would push the boundaries of this world's physics.

Jack stood atop a massive rock formation, gazing at the horizon. The planet stretched before him, an endless sea of towering trees, flowing rivers of shimmering blue, and mountains so high they pierced the clouds.

He exhaled slowly.

"This... is home now."

For the foreseeable future, at least.

He wasn't going anywhere. Not yet.

If he was going to survive here for an extended period, he needed more than just a shelter—he needed a home. A place where he could live, work, and study the mysteries of this strange new world.

Choosing the Right Spot

Jack spent hours scouting the area, searching for the perfect location. He needed a place that was:

✅ Close to resources—water, food, and fuel.

✅ Defensible—in case of unexpected dangers.

✅ High ground—to avoid floods or creatures below.

✅ Near the energy-rich winds—so he could continue experimenting.

After traveling a few miles from his temporary shelter, he found it: a wide plateau at the base of a mountain, surrounded by a natural rock wall on three sides. A river flowed nearby, and strange glowing plants grew along the edges of the cliffs.

It was perfect.

Constructing His New Home

Jack cracked his knuckles. Time to build.

Using the huge trees, he chopped down logs and carved them into reinforced beams using the sharp edges of his damaged suit. He stacked the logs together, creating a massive structure, sealing the gaps with a hardened resin he extracted from local plants.

The Walls: Thick, reinforced with layers of rock for insulation.

The Roof: Made from overlapping leaves coated in a waterproof resin.

The Floor: Smoothed stone, sturdy enough to hold his equipment.

The Entrance: A large slab of rock acting as a door, designed to slide open.

It wasn't just a cabin.

It was a fortress.

A Workshop for Innovation

Jack knew he needed a place for more than just sleeping. He needed a workshop.

So, he carved out a side chamber within the rock wall, turning it into a makeshift laboratory.

Inside, he placed:

A workbench made from compressed wood.

A storage area for fuel and tools.

A wind-powered generator prototype.

A stone tablet where he scribbled down ideas for future experiments.

This was where he would study the planet's resources, refine his technology, and—most importantly—figure out how to get back to Earth.

Making It Feel Like Home

Jack had spent so much of his life moving forward, chasing the next breakthrough, the next invention.

Now, for the first time, he had to pause and truly settle in.

He carved seats and a table from stone.

He built a fire pit using local minerals that radiated heat.

He even fashioned a hammock-like bed using vines and strong bark.

Jack looked around.

It wasn't much—but it was his.

For now, this planet wasn't just a place of exile.

It was his domain.
