GOR Chapter 4: RUN!!!!!
Chen Xiaolian left at around five in the morning.
For the next few hours, he felt himself falling into the depths of despair.
He walked toward the south… his watch only has the south indicating function.
He walked about within the forest for around three hours. After that, he saw…
Seaside.
Coastline.
As the rolling ocean waves crashed down on the rocks, Chen Xiaolian’s heart felt a little disappointed.
He also had a faint feeling of unease.
The reason being… on his way there, he did not see any traces of human existence, not in the forest nor the coastline.
The coastline stretched out for a considerably long distance and the sandy beaches were quite the sight to behold. From a tourism perspective, this was a very suitable spot to be developed into a holiday destination. However, there were no traces of human activity there at all.
The beach was clean, devoid of any leftover items or rubbish that could indicate human activity.
The same held true for the forest.
Chen Xiaolian furiously roared out against the ocean, venting out the rage within his heart for a moment.
“I do not believe that I will fail to find anyone!”
After saying that, Chen Xiaolian forcefully kicked a stone away.
Considering how many people had disappeared from the airplane, it must mean that they had left… that meant there should be people here. They must have been rescued. However, why did they leave without taking him along?
Well, for them to not take that corpse with them was understandable. After all, it was very obvious that the person had already died…
But I am not dead!!!
There was also that Korean loli, and the flight attendant. They are not dead!!!
Why did they not save us three?!
Chen Xiaolian vowed that when he found them, he would give the airplane captain a vicious beating.
He retraced his steps and returned.
It was about four in the afternoon when Chen Xiaolian finally returned to the plane’s location.
Spotting the ruined airplane, Chen Xiaolian gave a sigh of relief.
En! I did not get lost! If I had ended up getting lost in the forest, then I would be as good as dead.

However, when Chen Xiaolian made his way back to the plane’s location, he suddenly froze.
The fire had been extinguished, and…
The two females were gone.
“Damn it! You cannot be serious! Both of them ran off on their own?!!”
Chen Xiaolian suddenly felt himself about to fall into madness.
The fatigue from walking for a whole day, plus the hunger in his stomach… the two bottles of mineral water had long since been fully consumed by him.
“They actually left without waiting for me? Did someone rescue them?” Chen Xiaolian furiously kicked the ashes of the fire.
It was at that moment in time that he suddenly heard a voice.
The voice had come from the wrecked aircraft cabin.
He turned his head to see a head partially sticking out from the damaged aircraft cabin. It was the flight attendant.
The flight attendant was in a dishevelled state. Her face that had originally been very beautiful was currently facing him as she screamed out in an incredibly sharp voice.
“{E_here}!!! {E_here}!!!”
A small feeling of relief appeared within Chen Xiaolian’s heart. He was relieved to know that he was not the only one left…
He smiled wryly as he walked toward the wrecked airplane. As he was walking there, he shouted out without caring if they understood him. “Didn’t I say do not move away? Do you know how scared I was when I saw no one there…”
The face of the Japanese flight attendant suddenly became filled with fear and she screamed out in a panicked voice: “{RUN}!!!!!!!!”
…
In the future, whenever Chen Xiaolian recalled the events of today, he would be visited by an abnormal feeling of relief. He felt relief at the way he had reacted.
Back then, he did not make any redundant motions. He had not uttered any nonsense nor did he leisurely tried to seek an explanation from the other party.
Once he heard the Japanese flight attendant’s scream, his body seemed to move out of instinct. It was as though his heart itself had already determined the quickest response for him.
Chen Xiaolian did not even bother hesitating nor did he tried to contemplate anything. The very first thing he did was…

Run with all his might!
Run at the fastest possible speed that he could achieve. Run toward the wrecked aircraft cabin.
In just a few seconds of time after he began running, Chen Xiaolian heard a loud roar coming from behind him.
It was not possible to decide what kind of wild animal it was through the sound of the roar. As for Chen Xiaolian, he had only one thought running through his mind.
RUN!!
His heart pounded in a seemingly thunderous tone and he saw that the distance between him and the panicked face of the Japanese flight attendant had been shortened.
Without showing any hesitation, Chen Xiaolian decisively squeezed out every last drop of strength that he could muster.
When he arrived at the entrance to the wrecked aircraft cabin, a flash of thought was suddenly bestowed on him and he vigorously jumped toward the breach on the body of the wrecked plane. Using that comical and exaggerated move, he flew in through the gap of the breach.
From behind him came the heavy sound of a muffled bang.
Peng!!
It was as though a heavy object had viciously struck the outside of the aircraft cabin.
After Chen Xiaolian landed, before even adjusting his posture, he hastily turned his head around to take a glance behind.
That one glance nearly suffocated him.
It was a huge pitch-black shadow about two meters in height and a body covered in long black fur. The huge mass of darkness slammed into the outer layer of the passenger compartment and fell onto ground. Rolling around for a bit, it got up, raised its head, bared its fangs and let out a roar.
The pair of sharp and curved fangs and the gaping mouth left a shocking impression upon Chen Xiaolian’s mind!
In his eighteen years of experience since the day of his birth, he had amassed a messy assortment of knowledge from books, televisions, zoo and even the ‘National Geographic’ series…
He swore in the name of the celebrated King of Outdoor Survival, Bear Grylls!
This thing… was something that Chen Xiaolian could not recognize at all.
It… What is that thing?!
It possessed the body of a wild boar, a feline looking head, with a sharp horn resembling that of a rhinoceros growing out of its nose. Its humongous mouth sported a sharp pair of curved fangs.
As for how violent and strong its gigantic body was, there was no need to elaborate. Its eyes, on the other hand…
What the hell!
Have you ever seen a feline animal with four eyes? Two on the right and two on the left!!
The monster turned its body around as it maintained its position. Facing the wrecked passenger compartment, it let out a loud roar. It shook its head and then began charging with no less ferocity as it did earlier toward the aircraft cabin again.
This time around, Chen Xiaolian was able to witness everything clearly.
Before the monster was able to slam into the ruined aircraft cabin, the surface of the cabin suddenly emitted a blue arc of light. It was this blue arc of light that had fiercely ‘propelled’ the monster out.
The monster fell to the ground after being beaten off by the blue arc of light and howled, a seemingly pain-filled howl. It growled resentfully twice and circled around its position twice. Suddenly, its body went upright and its stout front paw viciously struck down a tree trunk just beside it.
Heavens be my witness! The thick tree, which had roughly the same diameter as Chen Xiaolian’s waist, was instantly broken off and the trunk was sent flying off into the distance.
Chen Xiaolian’s eyeballs nearly fell to the ground.
The monster slapped its nose and gave Chen Xiaolian, who was within the passenger compartment, a vicious stare. With a look of unwillingness, it then turned its humongous body around and slowly entered the woods. It then disappeared into the jungle.
“I… WQNMLGB[1]!! Son of a bitch! Is this a movie set!!!”
Chen Xiaolian felt himself on the brink of mentally collapsing. “What is this?! Are we even still on Earth?!!”
1 WQNMLGB: A popular online expletive in China.“我去年買了個表”, pinyin: “wǒ qùnián mǎile gè biǎo” = "i bought a watch last year" . It is a twisted version of “我去你媽嘞個逼”, pinyin: “wǒ qù nǐ mā lei gè bī” which means something along the lines of doing 'something' to someone's mother.

8 225A Collection of Tales
This is or rather will become a collection of short stories set in the worlds of The Misplaced Dungeon and Unexpected Consequences as I am finding it difficult to avoid including some amusing ideas that would sidetrack those stories. And now also include stories from the world of And Dungeon Makes Three. Unless otherwise stated these stories happen in the background and are here because they seem to want to get out. Updating will be irregular.
8 67Rise of the Desolate Star
“The soul is a sword. The body its sheath. Adversity is the hammer, while courage is the anvil. Oh, and son? Your tears and snot, they’re just the sparks that chip away at the impurities, like dungflies off a sow’s arse.” - Kendric Farrow Ever since he could remember, young Skyle Farrow’s body and mind have been hammered relentlessly like red-hot steel against the anvil of adversity under the watchful eyes of his father. All the while, Skyle’s heart and soul have been nurtured by the enduring warmth of his loving mother. Skyle has always asked why a simple farmboy would have need for all manner of skills like hand-to-hand combat, wilderness tracking, archery, beast taming, geography, history, politics, and even embroidery! The one vital question remains unasked, however: just what are his parents preparing him for? The invasion of a demonic horde? The advent of an age of war and endless bloodshed? The dark legacy of an ancient mystical power? A desperate struggle to save the lives of those he holds dear? The end of the world? It is a good thing he never asked these questions, for the answer would have been yes - to all of them. Now Skyle must take his first steps beyond the sheltered world he has known. He has been raised strong, but is he strong enough? Welcome to a tale of friendship, love, loss and heartbreak. It chronicles the growth of a young boy into a legend whose path will shatter the very foundations of the world. Expect a rich, detailed world with vivid characters. Each will pursue their own complex agendas due to realistic motivations. The MC will be overpowered, not through liberal use of plot armor but rather the deliberate application of arduous training, clever thinking, and nurtured talent. Battles will be graphic, victories will be bittersweet, and defeat will not mean the end of the world - for time waits for no one and life goes on whether we like it or not.

8 121The Systems of the Multiverse - A Guide for the Multiversal Traveler
The Systems of the Multiverse have their issues. I, an observer from outside the multiverse have made it into my mission to tell you, the multiversal traveler about those issues and dangers. This is a relatively low effort NaNoWriMo and Writhathon project. I want to test myself if I can manage 55k words in a month, likely updating every single day until the end. This story is told in the form of an in universe book. Well, I say story... While this definetly won't be great, I still hope it will be enjoyable. I do my best to avoid grammar mistakes and spelling issues, but won't promise anything. Corrections are welcome, this is also an excercise to improve my writing from a technical standpoint. Not from a worldbuilding and character standpoint however, for that you need time. Oh, the keyboards (and computers) that the observer destroys are not real and only exists in story to have an excuse to easily end this story at the end of NaNoWriMo. I also personally like reading LitRPG stories, so this isn't meant to hate them. It might come over that way, but many of those issues are simply fun to think about: what would really happen if the world is so, seen through a lease of negativity :-) [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
8 124Den of Vipers
The Year is XXXX, and a deep, heavy fog sets in all over not just the planet, but the whole of the universe, sending all within into a deep, deep sleep. When they awake, all has changed, and both for the better and the worse. Everything has changed, from the new, impossibly massive planet that all now occupy to the terrain to the very rules of reality themselves. But what has changed the most are the people. It seemed as though Humanity was alone in the cosmos, but no longer, as new, monstrous races have been born from the flesh of those whom the Fog singled out. With the survivors rewarded for each altered former human they kill, along with each heroic (and villainous) act that they engage in, those who have changed are forced to run, hide, and try to fight back. But in a distant place, a single altered person stirs from her sleep as the Fog fades. With no Humans for hundreds of miles and a [Quest] that all other Altered share guiding her newly inhuman mind, the newly born serpentine but humanoid monster will have to fight for survival and dominance in a world hellbent on her death, with that violent, pathological hate coming not just from the remaining Humans. [WARNING!
