Ow.
That was a massive amount of blunt trauma.
Enough to kill it had it all been one hit.
Good thing it was two separate walls, the ground, and the fist.
Huh, there’s the human in the giant hole it just left behind.
“What happened? Why did you smash through my house?”
A reasonable question. Things had been going so well too. After hitting someone with a rock, it had decided the best course of action was to not be where said rock had come from. Rather, it had circled around the noise source so as to approach from the opposite direction.
Clearly that was a clever enough ruse to deflect all suspicion vis a vis any rock related damage. Just to be safe, it had said some other things while circling to further absolve itself from guilt, along the lines of 'oh no did something happen over there’ and 'nothing over in this direction’. That made it all the more surprising when the guy spinning around in the tall stalks flinched when he saw it coming from the opposite direction of where the rock came from.
In hindsight, it probably would have been better if it hadn't tried to disarm the situation by smiling at him.
Next thing it knew, it had gotten grabbed, spun around, thrown on the ground, and on the way back up from bouncing off the dirt was punched back the way it came at a much greater velocity. It could definitely state that none of what happened was either its fault, nor preventable through any reasonable means.
“I’m gonna say an impromptu test of gravity, and because it was in the flight path. Gravity still works by the way.”
It has managed to keep its senses about it while hurtling through the air, and gotten its feet be beneath it before landing. According to what it knew, humans had a top speed of about twelve meters per second, and that exchange had taken four; more than enough time for the one guy to have caught up. It had only been punched fifty meters after all.

A rock falls from the sky and hits the creature in the arm, which promptly disconnects from the rest of its body. Up in the sky was a fully grown human, who had apparently used his superior physicality to jump twenty meters into the air and return the creature's initial offense with much greater velocity. Fair was fair, and the fact of the matter was that all of its kind were designed to be easily readable by humans in the nonverbal sense. It was kind of the height of arrogance to think it could lie to one and expect not to have its sins laid bare. Unfortunately, it didn't look like this particular human was planning on stopping after claiming his recompensive three kilograms of flesh.
With a slam of displaced earth, the large human craters down and immediately launches into a flurry of punches to the creature's center of mass. None of the blows come anywhere near the critical force threshold where it was in danger of any actual damage, so it resigned itself to the repercussions of its actions.
Humans didn't have unlimited stamina, so he'd get tired eventually.

Yora Chronicles
[Arc 0 - The Prologue] Airen and Yuelei Casteya - Two twins separated in act of revenge not of their own doing. One is sent to the frozen north, where she is adopted by a frost phoenix and taught to survive in the harshest of conditions, eventually meeting with the forces that govern nature itself. The other is sent to the southern deserts and is saved by a band of slaves-turned-raiders who take him in as one of their own, where he eventually came into contact with a being that calls herself the History Eater. The two sought power and the forces of the world would soon listen, but not without their own aspirations. And perhaps if the two were to meet again, they would be so warped by their own hands and would not even recognize the other. [Arc 1 - Disciple of the History Eater & Knighthood] Under the guidance of Fieluri, the whimsical being from the Archive, Airen moves south to the Red Slate Republic to attend Stonewall Military Academy. There, he finds himself wrapped up in the History Eater's ploys, and at the same time, learns of the somber side of society in the slave-driven republic. Eventually, under Fieluri's instruction, he descends into the depths of dungeons where he eventually reunites with an old acquaintance. Yuelei, who has grown used to living in the snowy mountains, moves north to the Holy Land of Ecclisa to attend the Royal Knight Academy. After Lin leaves, she slowly adapts to living with humans again, but not without ceaseless caution. The thinly-veiled peace is eventually broken, for the monsters that haunted the nights in the Whitefrost Mountains are returning once more. In response, the Holy Land of Ecclisa slowly prepare for war, but Yuelei is not just a mere bystander. All paths eventually leads to conflict. When it arrives, one can choose to deter it away, or to revel in it.

Until You Do It Right
The world ended on December thirty-first of the year two thousand and twenty, precisely at the stroke of midnight. The human race began to be systematically exterminated by the spawn of the System. We were given a chance to defeat them, to take back our place at the top of the food chain. We failed. The first to perish were those who bravely rebelled. The soldiers. The defenders. One by one, they fell. In their final moments, they begged for aid. Nobody replied. The next to succumb were those who feebly cowered. The deniers. The leeches. Together, they fell. In their final moments, they cried out into the darkness. Countless voices replied in kind. The last to decline were those who shamelessly ran. The deserters. The cowardly. Alone, they fell. In their final moments, they whimpered quietly. There was nobody left to answer. The final human to die was a survivor. A runner. As he died, he begged for salvation. His prayers were answered. He was offered a chance to save himself, along with all of humanity, and he took it. This is his story. “I sat in the dark and thought: There’s no big apocalypse. Just an endless procession of little ones.”― Neil Gaiman, Signal to Noise. I am absolutely new to writing and will take any and all constructive criticism. Please give feedback, it is greatly appreciated. I will update the tags as they change, and I hope that you enjoy this little story I'm writing! Quick warning: Seamus is intentionally a flawed character, and this story is going to explore those flaws and perhaps even change a few of them. I do not agree with all of his actions, but it is what it is.
