In the end, Ryan had to wait for one hour until Cole managed to wake up because he was the only one in that group who had a motorcycle and because his house was relatively close. When he woke up, Cole gulped, because he saw Ryan pointing the sword toward his face.
"This is yours, now tell me where you live and where I can find the keys of your motorcycle," Ryan said.
"You scared me…" Cole sighed. "Are you sure? I think a weapon like this is much more valuable than a vehicle at this point in time. Besides, you can't outrun velociraptors with a vehicle like that."
"I see… so they are that fast, huh," Ryan begun to bit his nails. "Well, even if that is the case, I can't just move around using my own legs. I need to conserve my stamina for the fights, after all."
"I guess that makes sense… ah…" Cole said, surprised when he noticed that his arm was back. "Did I dream that I lost my arm?"
"You can worry about that later," Ryan said. "Where can I find the keys?"
"… I have them with me," Cole said after checking his whole body and the massive amount of blood on his right side. "You can take whatever you wanted from my house as well. I guess that won't make things even with us, but it is everything that I can do for you. I wish you luck once again."
"Thanks… I wish you guys good luck as well," Ryan hesitated and then forced a smile.
Ryan wanted to know where the nearest dungeon was, but unfortunately, none of the survivors saw or heard of it. Cole's house was three kilometers away from there. It was close to a convenience store, so Ryan would be able to find a few things there if the place hadn't been destroyed. Regardless, before leaving the dungeon, Ryan checked the dungeon shop once more. He wasn't that skilled in driving motorcycles, but a crossbow would help him quite a bit while driving. However, the cheapest crossbow cost two hundred coins.

After sighing, Ryan checked the situation outside the dungeon. Only one word could describe what he saw: pandemonium. He now clearly could see pterodactyls in the distance and some velociraptors running around and searching for their next prey. Fortunately, Ryan had a clear view of the area, so he could choose the best route toward Cole's house.

After allocating the status points, he obtained during, and after fighting against the dungeon's boss into recovery, speed, stamina, and dexterity, Ryan began to run. Cole's house was northeast of there, and there weren't many places where he could use to hide. So, he had to be fast in order not to be noticed.
Much to his surprise, Ryan was having difficulty even keeping his eyes open while he was running. His speed almost increased by three hundred percent, but he didn't expect that he actually had become almost four times faster. In any case, that was something convenient, but the consumption of stamina wasn't. Trying to run as fast as possible was the trigger to activate Dash, after all. So, Ryan could only keep running at his top speed for thirty seconds. That being said, in those thirty seconds, he managed to reach the base of the mountain and hide behind a group of small trees.

"That was… certainly unexpected," Ryan muttered while he was trying to rest. "Maybe I will be able to reach Cole's house without being found by monsters…"
Ryan was a dreamer, and until very recently, he was a happy-go-looking guy, so it couldn't be helped that he could think that way. Unfortunately, the reality was cruel. The more he approached his destination, the louder things he got. He could even hear the sound of velociraptors running and destroying things… and the smell… the smell of things burning and the smell of blood. Ryan could feel his head becoming lighter just by feeling the smell of death.
"I imagined things would be complicated, but imagining and seeing are two completely different things…" Ryan said while he was trying to keep his head cool.
Focusing on running wasn't an option from that point onward, so Ryan nocked an arrow and prepared for battle. He had fifteen wooden arrows, so he had to make all of them worthwhile. Velociraptors were fast, so he couldn't miss. Every single shot had to be a headshot in order not to let the monsters scream and attract others.
"It is too dangerous to take a roundabout way…" Ryan muttered. "Time is too precious to waste, trying to find another route. So, I will have to open a path."
As a hunter, Ryan learned that the best time to kill his prey was when the prey was eating. However, the food of his prey were humans, so he couldn't wait for that. If he could, he would save some humans, not because he wanted to be a hero, but the more people stay alive in that region, the more targets the velociraptors would have. It was sad that even for Ryan to think in that manner, but he had to consider such things if he wanted to survive.

Old Riding Author Lunatic Asylum
Just off the A19, in the dark, incomprehensible lands known as Yorkshire, there lies a town. A town where shadow-silent alleys glint with the secret hunger of knives. Where blood soaks the chipboard window shutters of forsaken terraces stretching off into the night. Where the smog-choked air rattles with the depraved laughter echoing out from clubs that can only generously be described as post-apocalyptic. Well, that’s Middlesbrough. But down the A19 a bit (an impossibly long way down, actually) there lies another town: Raughnen, in the ancient, forgotten Old Riding. It is an equal match in muggery and thuggery alike. It also has magic spells and pointy wizard hats. And now, across the miles and across all sensibilities, a pretty nasty power (a magic one) calls out for its pretty nasty counterpart (a decidedly unmagic one): a proper sound Boro lad. Nothing good can come of it. This is a collection of one novella and four connected short stories: I. A Yorkshire Summoning II. Old Riding Day Trip (the novella) III. Heaven is a Parmo IV. Death on the 66 V. Death on the 257 In total, this comprises 34 chapters totalling around 35,000 words, so try not to worry. It will be over relatively quickly. There are three more short stories with more tenuous links to the core collection: Rush, Paper Round and Scenario 79: Sausage Fingers, all of which can be found in my collection Short Records of Misadventure. Reading these may allow you to make more sense of certain parts of the story, if any sense is to be made at all. NOTE: There are instances of prejudice and discrimination within these stories, including elements of sexism and ageism, which are purely the thoughts and actions of the characters involved and which certainly do not reflect my own views on these matters. ANOTHER NOTE; A WARNING, PERHAPS: This can get a bit weird. In less than 150 pages, we have four viewpoints, first and third person narratives, and a completely disjointed plot with lots of gaps, dead ends and no real resolution. Also ZERO lunatic asylums. It's all a bit odd. If that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, which it most likely isn't, it might be best to move on now.

Second Chances
Given a chance for reincarnation and tasked by the System, I picked the Sidhe for this second life. A world of Seelie, Unseelie, Kelpie, Redcaps, and Slaugh. The Gods of the Tuantha de Danann forced into sleep, the people forced to remain locked on their home planet. In this latest Book, Teigh Mac de Beleros y Cyronax has saved his people from stagnation and ruin. His denouncement of Olympus and Asgard before the Universal Senate has allowed the Sidhe to break the ties that constrained them, and the chains that kept them rooted to their home world. But the Sidhe and the Tuatha de Danann are unique across all multi-verses and all Pantheons. They have the unique ability to travel anywhere and anywhen. But this ability comes at a cost. The Tuatha de Danann do not have incarnations seeded across each Universe. There is only one Tuatha de Danann, and when Athena and Loki come to Teigh with the tales of a plot that will destroy not only the Tuatha de Danann but the multi-verse, he removes his crown to once more face off against Zeus and Odin and save his people. Second Chances has been taken down for editing and a major rewrite...
