《Jormungandr's calamity》Book 1: Chapter 14 : Night is dangerous (2)
Advertisement
The closer I got, the more my body was telling me to run away, but this feeling of fear only made me walk, and finally, I saw it. What was standing in front of me was a huge crocodile but I thought it was strange that it could live here because it would normally need water but as I thought about it, one of its eyes started staring at me.
It's not possible I'm hidden, he couldn't find me. But I was wrong, he opened his mouth and a cavernous voice came out.
Cro: "Come on. "
I was paralyzed even if he told me to come, I couldn't do it because my body had frozen as if what was in front of me was too dangerous. He opened his mouth a second time and I could finally come out of this state of which I was the victim.
Cro: "I told you to come. "
I moved towards him and the closer I got, the more I felt like I had entered a place with different gravity.
Me: "What do you want senior?
Cro: That you keep me company. Because it's rare that people come to me without the intention of fighting.
There are two cases of people:
-People who flee as soon as they see me because they want to save their skin.
-The second situation is that I'm being attacked on sight. What categories are you in?
Me: Neither, because I only came here because I was curious.
Cro: You're telling me you're risking your life just because you were curious. I've seen some strange people in my life, but never as strange as you. I can even tell you're out of your mind.
Me: No I just felt like an aura coming out of that place and my body was telling me to run away but I had to see what it was.
Cro: I like you, you are not afraid of death and why didn't you run away as soon as you saw me.
Me: I could not if I would have fled you would have chased me and I would have lost my life but there I am beautiful and alive and I would rather stay here than alone in the desert.

Cro: If you are afraid to stay in the desert alone then why did you come here?
Me: To become stronger and thus be able to defend me.
Cro: To become more powerful. Well you can stay here tonight and I'll help you get back to the big desert but I think it would be better if you go to another place to train.
Me: Why? In my opinion, this was the best place I could not use my venom and under pressure like this, I would become powerful very quickly.
Cro: The central desert is far too dangerous. Here I am an Overlord but if I go there I will be nothing more than a monster more powerful than the average but many people would be more powerful than me that's why I want to propose something.
Me: Who is?
Cro: I'll train you.
Me: Why are you so generous?
Cro: We need to help each other whenever there is a member of your family in need. Just like all the reptile I have a little blood of Jormungandr so we can say that we are the same family also I think that your entire blood is the same as Jormungandr so I will be very happy if you become very powerful because I could say that it was with my help and I want to show to everyone that we are also powerful. So what do you say? Will you become my disciple?
Me: Of course, but I want to know what restrictions I will have by becoming your disciple?
Cro: One. You will only have to say after every fight where you defeat a powerful enemy that your master is Cro the brave.
Me: Only that.
Cro: Yes I always wanted to become famous that my name resounds all over the world and with your blood and my training you will become necessarily someone powerful and as I am your master I will become famous for having a disciple so powerful. Now it's time to eat and sleep. "
After our meal, I lay down next to my master and looked at him strangely. Indeed at the very beginning, I looked at him with admiration because of his power but now that I know his dream I find it strange to be able to respect him.

He wants to become famous, so if he manages to reach a human form his penultimate door will be the door of envy. But what power will I gain? Because with each door that you break you will gain power but it's different for everyone but me because I couldn't have a human form what will be my power.
Even I won't have to think about that and will have to focus on my current abilities. Well, I have to sleep so I'll be in shape for tomorrow. As for the last two days the moonlit up and his body began to glow as if he was feeding on this source of light, but what was strange was that there were spikes coming out of his tail even though they were barely visible.
The next morning I woke up because the lower part of my body was burning, indeed the sand had burnt my skin a bit and I noticed that I was 1. 04 m tall instead of 98 cm I was growing well. I searched for Cro with my eyes but I could not find him there is only one way to find him and that was to use my smell.
Author: Snakes do not have ears if you see what appears to be a snake with two small holes instead of ears this one is a legless lizard. Other information a snake that has round pupils is not venomous but those with vertical eyes like cats are venomous so if you are facing what you think is a snake look for this information about the individual in front of you.
I first tried to spot him with my sight but I found nothing because I can only see thanks to the heat, an individual will appear red in front of me but at least I will be able to spot my prey or anyone in the night but in the desert, this type of vision was a great handicap because as I am in the desert, the sand is hot and I see him in red everywhere so what is in front is only a large red area.
I will be able to see the monsters in this environment because they will not be glued to the ground but it will be very hard. So I stuck out my tongue to collect the smells that were around and find my master.
Author: Snakes collect smells in the strangest of ways possible. Indeed, they collect the odor particles on their tongue and transmit this information to the Jacobson's organ so that they can smell the odors around them.
Do you like these little interventions that bring science knowledge?
Among all these smells I recognized that of my master, so I was only interested in that smell and finally, I found it. He wasn't that far away about 400 meters to my left, so I rushed in that direction and saw him.
Cro: "Looks to me like you've done well in your first training session.
Me: My first training? But I've done nothing except finding you.
Cro: You found me so you made it. Did you know what the purpose of this exercise was?
Me: To make better use of my senses.
Cro: Exactly the senses are one of the most important things in a fight. So I wanted to teach you to focus on one sense because sometimes it's better to cut off your other senses to push one to its peak. Take the case of a blind person, he will have a much better sense of smell and hearing to survive in nature. Now that you've done with that little trick, we can get down to business.
Me: Who is?
Cro: Fighting."
I will finally learn how to fight.
Cro: "Are you ready?
Me: Like never.
Cro: So follow me."
And this is how begin my very first training with my master.

Travelers [DROPPED]
DROPPED. The story focuses less on dungeon building than on the why of dungeons and how they fit into the universal order. While I am working from a grand plot, the writing is going slice of life style because I need to do that to work out how things progress into that grand plot. The original story seed idea / synopsis is below. The Grand Tapestry protects Rhofhir from Primal Chaos by imposing Order via patterns. However, the patterns grow stiff, stagnant, and so the Tapestry is nearing a time of Unraveling. Evidence of past civilizations wiped out during previous Unravelings foreshadow the apocalyptic catastrophe looming over the world. The mages of the Arcane Asylum reach out across dimensions, searching for some way to prevent, or at least stall, the coming Unraveling. Among the many voices they find is a gifted graduate student researching machine-assisted telepathy -- and his gaming group. Lena never expected that the chance to play DnD with telepathy would result in her becoming an actual Dungeon Master, nor that her friends could become the bosses of her dungeon. This is, in many ways, her dream come true, but there's a catch: What happened to Brad, the creator of that telepathy machine?
