[Routine and a cliff hanger]
When Obsi awoke again he was surprised, not because of another rumbling or a growth spurt, the opposite actually, he had for once had a good rest.
Thank you God of sleep! I'll forever be grateful to you!
Squiggling happily he rolled out of his cave, stretched and started once more looking around.
I didn't even have a growth spurt! This is great! Except the routine, although the fish are tasty.
As Obsi began planning out his hunt he looked around. Finding a group of Swarm Tuna he decided to start from them. Definitely not doing it because they're soo yummy, not at all.
Executing his tried and trusted method he snuck above them and waited. Three minutes later he saw five of them dispersing from the group. Deciding to start from them he charged. In a second they were all dead, two by his bite, two by being crushed and the last punched to dead.
Gore flying everywhere he whipped his tail, feeling it impact at least four of them. Immediately after he bludgeoned his way into their group, crushing another two in his hands he swung his tail wildly killing three more of the fish. It had taken him three seconds to eradicate most of the group, leaving three alive to suck them to death.
Man I'm brutal, three seconds and seventeen fish are dead. A lot of them died to my tail whip so it should level up soon. It also causes a lot of gore. Like a lot lot. I'm feeling sick from looking at this. Still can't puke tho.
As Obsi thought to himself he began his clean-up, sucking out all the blood he could. After finishing his clean-up he started looking for more prey. Seeing quite a few possible targets he went on the move.

Ah look, the sickly acid fish, I should probably kill it to know what it is.
And he did as he thought, getting the notification after whipping the fish with his tail.
YOU KILLED A LEVEL 2 'ROT ACID FISH'!
I knew it, this thing is disgusting. Anyways.
He continued on to the next group of Tuna, the 'battle' going the same way as the previous, being also a complete massacre.
As Obsi finished his eight group of Tuna he considered exercising. I'm really getting fat, really should exercise. Alright, I'll do that, right after the next group.
It was not in fact right after the next group, he had taken down three more groups and gotten a level up.
+1 LEVEL!
+1 VITALITY
+2 STRENGTH
+1 AGILITY
I don't remember ever getting only one agility... I really am fat aren't I? Well, time for exercise I guess. Swimming around is soooo boring though, I wish I could hit something instead... I'm a genius! I'll just swim and hit things at the same time! That way I can also train tail whip!
With a new cheerful attitude Obsi set out to do laps around his cleared area.
It had been five hours since Obsi began his exercise, turning which he managed to not rest at all. He also killed plenty of fish, learning to be more accurate with his swings and netting him a level in tail whip. By the end of the exercise he was so tired he found it hard to keep himself awake.
Swimming his way towards his hole-home he thought about today's gains.
So I got a level and a skill level but noting from the exercise?
YOU HAVE EXERTED YOURSELF!
+3 ENDURANCE
... Why didn't you tell me before! It could have boosted my motivation! Maybe I could have gone for another lap or something! Gaah whatever at least I can sleep now. I sincerely hope I won't get any fatter.
Reaching his hiding hole Obsi went in and slumped down, falling asleep in seconds. Unbeknownst to him there was something rummaging through his massacre, something that was very interested in meeting him...
...
Stupid exercise...

The Power of Ten: Book One: Sama Rantha, and Book Two: The Far Future
(Author's Note: If you're wondering about the views, it's +1.8 million more on Webnovel, its original home. Updated daily starting Dec. 26, 2018, and continued with Book Three.) Some time ago, a planes-traveling archmage made up a video game to train some people on the planet Earth for the catastrophe he knew was coming. That game was the Power of Ten. The gods seized this opportunity to take the templates of some of those characters, and even their souls, for use in other worlds, and other realms. Sama Rantha is one of those characters, and is going to find out that being a Hagchild and having to survive after your Hag Curse fails to murder you at birth is much, much less fun than setting it as your Race at level One on a gamescreen. Join Sama Rantha on her Road to Ten, and letting her Hagmother know exactly what she thinks of her... ------ Warning: This book starts with a HARD OPEN! It was written as an extension of other stories that have not made it onto the Internet yet for National Novel Writing Month in Nov/2018. Book One/Sama Rantha: A traditionalist LitRPG in the fantasy world vein. The beginning chapters will be heavy with gaming terms and the supporting math as Sama exploits the rules as much as possible, minmaxing her heart out to get one up on the world trying to kill her. The math and rules lawyering tapers off, but are never eliminated, as Sama is going to do everything she can to exploit the rules of reality here and not die, while making sure those responsible for this get exactly what is coming to them... ------ Book Two, The Far Future (starting Ch. 286): The Warp, the final frontier; in the grim darkness of a galaxy far far away, there came a hagchild...QX! Sci-fi/Fantasy/psionics mashup, grimbright clashing with grimdark! Sama is sent into a setting she'd rather not be in, but the heart of a powergamer never says no, even in the crapsack galaxy of the Tellurian Empire. BOOK TWO IS COMPLETE WITH 357 CHAPTERS AS OF 9/2020. ----------- Book Three (updating daily): The Human Race (next Book!) - Urban Fantasy world. Three Power of Ten gamers come together in a world under the Shroud of the Cancer of Death. Whatever might happen when they do, and what might they find there? Book Three is complete with 500 chapters: right here. Book Four: Power of Ten is dumped into the Marvel Universe. Surely there'll be no changes to canon when that happens? A Fanfiction variant, with teeth! Dynamo The Original Sama Stories: Being posted at: over in this location. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Discord link: in zis location is always up if I'm online.
