Achievement: Good Show

Fair is fair, I’ve never seen a better show for free

It’s like you think you’ll outrun those thing eventually

I wish that you could see the stupid look on your dumb face

Well, I guess I’ll stick around to the end this time, just in case

Twig had little time for reading in his current state

Portal beasts appeared at an accelerating rate

Every time he managed to evade one creatures jaws

He’d find himself headed straight for another monster’s claws

But as he ran he noticed something changing in his heart

As the world filled up with things that could tear him apart

With every desperate step he learned about the strength he had

And some distraction from his last encounter made him glad

Out here he had no friends and family to worry for

No class or title holding back his efforts anymore

For a moment that felt like it could last forever

He now felt more at peace than he could even remember

All the time he’d spent in training his strength and magic

Was finally apparent, though his fate was still tragic

He felt the mana in the cold damp air as he ran on

As if the poison which had kept it from him was now gone

With every breath of forest air the mana in him grew

And in his single minded quest he had one thing to do

He used the power he could feel to move him through the trees

Pushing any monster which attacked away with ease

His panic even gave way to excitement for a while

With so much power in his hand, he couldn’t help but smile

He didn’t really have a destination as he ran

But running til he couldn’t was a fairly simple plan

After he was sure that sun would normally have set

He was quite surprised that he hadn’t been eaten yet

He looked behind and sure enough a horde of beasts were there

Joined by monsters he had never once seen anywhere

~ Name: Unnamed ~

Title: Portal Monster

Class: Red Panther [lv3]

HP

[7]

MANA

[2]

ATK

[13]

INT

[4]

DEF

[6]

SPD

[21]

It stalks its prey in battlefields and targets those who run

Stand your ground, for it prefers to chase its prey for fun

It’s rare to see one anywhere, they value privacy

But it’s the last thing many wounded soldiers often see

Title: Portal Monster

Class: Fang Rabbit [lv9]

HP

[8]

MANA

ATK

[44]

INT

[11]

DEF

[9]

SPD

[78]

From a distance it may look like a rabbit, but big

But this creature does a lot more than just jump and dig

It could rip a part a careless traveller or two

And there is a high chance it can run faster than you

Title: Portal Monster

Class: Terror Snake [lv21]

HP

[24]

MANA

ATK

[68]

INT

[6]

DEF

[23]

SPD

[24]

A creature much to large to mistake for a normal snake

But if you do, it will be the last mistake you make

It’s venom fills your head with nightmares you’ll wish to unsee

But you’ll die in those bad dreams while it kills you quickly

“Well, I guess it’s too late to play dead or try to hide”

He chuckled and his speed began to fill him up with pride

He made a face to mock the monsters coming from behind

Caution and good judgement starting to clear from his mind

“Come on monsters, don’t tell me you’re all too out of shape!

Are you going to let such a tasty meal escape?”

They roared as they were joined by several other new monsters

But Twig’s newfound dexterity outclassed the new hunters

Achievement: Good News!

Hey, did I just get your attention? I have some news!

And it’s the kind of good news that the both of us could use

I realized that when I make you see this big blue screen

Well, in a moment, you’ll know exactly what I mean

Twig tried to avert his eyes from the blue message box

But as his god likely planned, he overlooked some rocks

And as he tripped and fell, he felt like fate itself had scoffed

But he was most surprised when he landed on something soft
