It's kill or be killed!
Eat or be eaten!
This is the law of the jungle.
I glance at my mana, it is about to reach zero.
I can't run faster than the wolves anymore, but I have managed to somehow get rid of four of them.
However, two more are left.
Without mana, I cannot create gusts of wind nor ice knives.
Yes, ten mana regenerate every minute, but their attacks are fast, and I am sure they could finish me in less than a minute.
I have the immortal body for regeneration and still got some calories stockpiled.
I have my claws, my jaws, and my dragon breath.
I have to fight ad kill them both, there is no other way.
Especially because they are already near me!
I am still running, by the way, but the two bastards are already like… a few meters at my side.
Their bloodthirsty eyes are furious, I feel like they are glancing directly at my very soul!
This is terrifying!
Especially seeing how insane they are!
Didn't you saw 5 of your friends getting killed?!
Why are you still following me around?!
They seem to be filled in rage and vengeful instincts, I suppose wolves are like this in this world?
Maybe they are like this on Earth too?
Agh, this is not the time to think about that!
"GRAAAWL!"
One of the wolves at my right pounces towards me! Even without mana just like me, the bastard has way higher stats than me (except magic) and quickly reaches my side!
I quickly roll to the side, evading his jaws from crushing my head!
Then, I open my mouth and release a burst of ice winds from my mouth!
FLASH!
"GRAAWR!"
The Ice Wolf seems mostly unaffected, but it gets confused a bit as the ice hits its eyes.

My chance!
I run towards its legs and munch one of its front legs, I put all of my strength into it, until I hear the cracking noise of its bones, and the warm blood fills my mouth.
The beast releases an agonizing growl as it aims its jaws towards my head.
I quickly let go of its front leg and evade it somehow, but it quickly catches up to me once more and bites my stomach!
Agh!
The powerful fangs pierce my scales with ease and then tears apart a chunk of my flesh mercilessly.
However, as it bites me, I twist my body and use my claws to slash its eyes!
"GROWL!"
The wolf howls as it steps back, its eyes began to bleed and it probably won't be able to see anymore!
However, the other wolf finally catches up to us, and pounces on my back!
I cannot evade in time due to the pain and exhaustion, and it bites my back, grasping my flesh tightly with its strong fangs.
Nnnghhhh!
It hurts like hell!
I do not want to die!
No, I am not going to die!
I am going to kill it!
I am going to fuckin kill this son of a bitch!
I roar as if I were an actual big dragon, and suddenly use all of my strength, hitting one of the pine trees at my side, the wolf hits right into it, and some of the branches of the pine tree manage to get through its skin and leave a few wounds!
Boom!
"GRAAWRR…!"
The wolf groans in agony as it lets go of my back, which is all covered in horrible wounds and bleeding intensively.
My Immortal Body kicks in, but it is already getting slower!
I begin to feel dizzy, I am going to pass out?!

Fuck, fuck, fuck! I am not going to let these bastards have me for their night dinner!
I frantically roar once more, as I pounce towards the blinded wolf who begins to sniff me around, covered in its own blood, it quickly senses my presence and jumps towards me as well!
However, because it is fucking blind, he aims horribly and trips over a rock, as I swiftly evade in time.
Suddenly, I begin to feel the adrenaline rushing through my body once more… this is my last chance!
All the pain in my body becomes dulled due to the effect of the adrenaline, my senses become sharper, and I can smell the flesh and the blood of the wolf!
"GRRRAAAAAH!"
I roar monstrously as I leap over the blinded wolf's back, using my claws and my jaws, I begin ravaging the bastard!
I am hungry as hell!
I tear apart its flesh with fur and everything and begin to eat it while the wolf struggles, roaring in agony as it tries to get me off his wide back, it even aims its jaws towards me, but I slash his face every time he tries to get me out!
I am going to eat him alive!
"GRAAWRL! GRRAAAOOO!"
The blinded wolf roars in agony, as the other one that I hit into the pine tree suddenly jumps to its rescue, munching my back and tearing apart a large piece of my flesh!
I do not feel any pain whatsoever, but I know this is horrible news!
I see my Vitality quickly decrease, as my Immortal Body tries to fight back against it through my regeneration, but I need to ingest calories to get it going!
I also realize that two minutes have passed, and I got around 23 mana!
The wolf quickly aims at me again while I am stuck to the blinded wolf's back, and then… ICE KNIFE!
FLASH!
An Ice Knife flies right into its open jaws, piercing its throat and making the wolf groans agonizingly, falling over the ground and beginning to choke on the ice and its own blood!
Serves you right, you fucker!
I quickly aim the last knife into the wolf I am biting, piercing his head!
"GRAAA…!"
The wolf groans the last time as it dies and falls over the snow.
The other wolf… is also dead.
Silence takes hold of this chaotic battlefield.
My entire body is shrouded in wounds, I am on the verge of dying.
I cannot rest yet…
I am about to die, I need calories to kick in Immortal Body…
Ugh…
Uaagh…
The pain quickly begins to come back, and I am being shrouded on it.
Pain, pain, pain, pain, pain, pain.
I have to eat, to eat….
Eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat.
I tear apart the flesh and eat, I keep eating and eating, I eat the bones, the stomach, the internal organs…
Ungh…
I keep eating and eating…
And then I fall unconscious.

Path of Righteousness
What do you desire? What are you afraid of? You run away from one, pursuing the other. Is that all you are? Conquer your fears. Dig to the bottom and confirm, what you really want... ...For you cannot escape suffering and death. You only have a little time. Use it wisely. Uru, a young boy with no talent for magic or fighting, sets out on a quest to become an avatar of order, the physical embodiment of righteousness, in a distant future, where control of origin energy allows people to defy physics and manipulate causality. Mocked by fate and broken by impossible dreams, all that's left is to stand in defiance to cruel existence. Because there is a Truth out there, somewhere. Singular, transcendent, eternal. What would you sacrifice for it? *** This is a fantastic sci-fi epic. It's going to blend both western and eastern traditional fantasy tropes – like might & magic and cultivation – with rational sci-fi grounded fully in reality, to produce a purely fictional fairy tale. I'd like to deliver something light-hearted and yet wholly serious. An uplifting adventure exploring the unfathomable reaches of humanity, free of indecency, with a healthy dose of humorous banter, legendary beings, and most importantly – lots of exciting, firework-filled mayhem! I've tried reading many web novels, but there's a fundamental problem with them – the eastern ones are annoyingly repetitive, superficial and morally destitute, while western ones are often dark, convoluted and profane. There's only so much one can do to filter out the bad and try to fill in the gaps with their own imagination. It's one thing to eat tasty fast food, but if it's moldy and filled with toxins, then it's not only poisonous, but also disgusting. The appreciation of beauty and higher values is disappearing at an alarming rate. Although there are throngs of talented people out there, none of them are creating what I want to witness – an inspiring battle against impossible odds, ending in absolute victory. A triumph of the spirit so overwhelming, it crushes the spectator into his seat and takes his breath away. I'm looking for a real paragon, so now I'd like to try conceiving one. *** The MC's name comes from Tolkien's Elven dictionary in Silmarillion, 'Uru' meaning 'Fire', and 'Dagnir an Uruloki' meaning 'Slayer of Dragons'. *** Note: I'm neither a native speaker, nor an aficionado of literature – I've never written anything before, and despite proficient English my literary prowess is abysmal. It therefore takes me a painful amount of effort to polish the chapters and bring them up to par. Last year I wrote and posted some on FictionPress, but I stopped since it wasn't going anywhere. The appalling amount of filth and mediocrity being peddled in all the media nowadays – a result of no conspiracy to manipulate the masses, but plain supply and demand – is no longer just the triumph of form over substance, but most worryingly corruption of the latter. Who wants to read about ideals anymore? And yet, masses flock together to gobble up perversion and depravity. That being said, I can't rule out pitiful exposure as the culprit to my failure, so I am now once again trying to increase it here, possibly for the last time. If there are still human beings present, hungry or in need of a detox after eating too much garbage, make yourselves heard, so I can see a reason to continue the story. Otherwise it's pointless – I'm not going to make fodder for the masses, and I'm most certainly not going to throw pearls before swine. I'll simply stop writing altogether.
