《Wasn't my new life in a magical world supposed to be easy?》Ch 13, I think... I think a lot and some more

Oh. Sorry for the delay in my commentary. Being suddenly met with a scene of such monsters caught me off guard for an instant.
The visual impact of the scene of so many three meter tall zombies and a giant cowtiger-like undead thing might sound mild on paper but it’s definitely not something one could describe in words in order to transmit the feelings of shock and fear truthfully.
Well, how to explain it… Well, first my irises shrunk to unnoticeable dots, I felt the adrenaline flooding my veins and felt cold and painful as if my whole body was pierced by many tiny needles. The time slowed down to a crawl and I felt my thoughts were moving so fast and in so many directions that my brain began hurting and my whole body was stiff – I felt that at least but soon understood that it just couldn’t keep up with my scared thoughts. The system said something about new skills and titles that a part of my brain read but it wasn’t important, so it went into a garbage bin in the depth of my consciousness. I might’ve gained the Multitask skill or something.
Seeing the things in front of me slowly (from a subjective point of view) raise their heads and notice me, my brain blew up even more.
What would a person who had a skill that allowed them to face many harsh things with composure do in this situation? Attack? Flee? No, I was so scared that I could only look at the monsters noticing my existence and getting into motion with a ridiculous level of cooperation.
By the time my main line of thought had separated itself from the sea of panic and fear that my CPU ran in many parallel processes, the zombies (not the zombies, the undead – line of thought #6664) already had managed to move a whole 10 meters and would reach me in 12 objective seconds (Line of thought #22: 12…).
I immediately flooded my surroundings with water mist by using all of the matrices for the “Mist Veil” I brought with me and ran back with speed far beyond any I have reached before. (Line of thought #22: 12… 11… 10… 9…)

Line of thought #10: Mist Veil – floods the immediate surroundings with thick water mist, obstructing vision. The volume and the thickness of the mist can be adjusted with the amount of MP invested. The saved matrix version cannot be modified.
While running several parts of my brain were trying to remember whatever spells could help me in this situation:
There was that one: Line of thought #16: Information on the spell from memory: A spell that manipulates the airflow so that the sound gets reduced. Mostly done under Ralph’s guidance, I don’t think I’m able to create something so complex anytime soon all on my own. And it doesn’t neutralize all sound, it just reduces it a little. And can only hold for 30 seconds each time. And I have only six of those, so I’ll use them sparingly. For now, I’ll call it #1 as I have no time to come up with a better name.
And that one: Line of thought #44: Information from memory: A spell that allows me to visually blend into the environment a little. Also done thanks to Ralph, have only one of it, will hold for 1 minute. Tentative name #2.
Line of thought #12: #2… Right now I’m too reluctant to use it as I’m already hidden behind the fog.
Line of thought #56: #1… Need to use one of them right now, nominating line of thought #10 to count time.
Line of thought #10: 30… 29…
Lines of thought #78, #45, #912: Environment analyzed: suggested plan of escape…
Line of thought #42: Usage of the multitask skill requires a lot of MP. Warning.
Line of thought #22: Distance from the undead increased, current time till the collision: 26 seconds! 26…
Line of thought #1-MAIN: Proceeding with the instructions
Line of thought #666.1-RALPH: It’s a very dangerous thing you are doing to your mind right now
Line of thought #89, #34, #541: [sending suggestions and queries to Line of thought #666.1_RALPH, Line of thought #666.2-Ralph and Line of thought 666.3 – R.A.L.P.H.][Insufficient amount of Lines of thoughts. Connecting to Lines of thought #190-#260, previous processes ran by those Lines are to be terminated or delegated to other Lines] [Starting discussion with Lines of thought #666.1-73, collective name “RALPHS”] [Updating countermeasures!]

[Using the mindlink-Ralph with to alleviate symptoms]
[Multitask] has reached level 6!
[New internal group policies implemented! Sending all lines of thought except for Line of thought #1-MAIN to the background, recalculating mental resources… Policies implemented!]
Phew! I’m back and I’m a human again! And I have escaped from the undead… for now! I’m going back to the entrance.
My MP is very low right now and I feel horrible but I can’t even stop running for the fear of my life. And I’m dead tired…
…
…
I’m back at the entrance! I don’t know if the undead will follow me here but right now I’m low on MP and the adrenaline rush has ended. My braid has entered a state of mild paralysis too and my emotions just died it feels as I don’t feel like I care about anything at this moment. Exhaustion is a scary thing, is what I would say if I gave a damn. I’m sleeping.
…
…
I’m awake again but I’m so tired and hungry I could die. My body is hurting too much and I don’t want to move. Evidently, the undead won’t search to give me trouble, not for now at least
“They can’t leave the boss room unless you attack them”
“A good thing I didn’t then. Or did I? Too lazy to remember or think. I’m sleeping, wake me up if something urgent comes up. Or don’t I can’t care right now.”
…
…
…
…
…
…
Fuck my whole body hurts too much and I’m so hungry I could eat stones.
HP: 7/11
MP: 122/251
Shit it looks bad.
What do I do? It would be convenient to start up the Multitask skill to analyze my memory and come up with a good strategy to deal with the boss and the minions but my MP won’t let me. And my main Line of thought, aka me myself, is too slow and lazy to think right now…
“Ralph, can I cry?”
“You can but I’d be saving the liquids in my body if I were you”
“Why did you not stop me from going to this dungeon?”
“Because you are able to get out here alive”
I would send Line of thought #666.1-999999 – collective name “Ralph the asshole demon” many strings consisting of profanities but I am in no mood to.
Sigh, let’s slowly comb through whatever we have for now…

Exuperius [DISCONTINUED]
Terravest. The northernmost continent of the world known by many names of legend, but is most commonly reffered to as Athora, has, for eons, served as the land of exiles. Human criminals, dark elves, grayskinned orcs and dwarves that preffer mining with machinery over the traditional pickaxe alike, have come to call this half-frozen hellhole their home. It is a land of great strife, calamity and crisis, where one legendary tale ends only to begin the next, heroes fall down and villains find themselves thrown into lava. Around seventy years ago, a legendary figure appeared out of seemingly nowhere and conquered three human nations, forming a kingdom worthy enough of being called a small empire. However, at the eve of his heirs ascension, the legend breathed his last, leaving this same bloated, chaotic realm without the pillar that kept it together. Already, the carrion nobility, still spiteful for being denied their "rightful" place below the sun, rise up and gather at the court, each eager to consolidate their own power in these troubled times. Tempers flare, power is exercised without restraint and no one expects the hedonistic prince to succeed at keeping the realm together. Alas, as is often the case with such tales, not everything seems to be as it might at first appear and the vain lords of the realm may yet come to regret their carrion will. --- The Content Warnings are there for a good reason. ---

The Trespasser
Synopsis Following his di—instincts, David finds himself in a weird situation; the next thing he knows, he's in a different world, dying, and manhandled by a big-ass alien. When the Source comes to his aid, granting him the access that—like every other sapient—he's due, David barely manages to get out of the fight with his life intact, but is that enough? Of course it isn't. The very Source giving him powers is also poisoning him to death. Oh, there she is, the petite female alien. Will that be enough to save him? Of course it won't. If he wants to be saved, he has first to save himself. The only way to do so is by getting to know the world around him, but even before that... Why the bloody hell did I have to be called Deviant!? *** Blurb? Blurb. The Trespasser starts slowly, I believe I've written a decent world, and I want you to find out what it's all about, won't just throw it in your face because of *levels*. I do not like stories that don't make sense. David is not a murderhobo, he respects life and answers to the world and the weird situations thrown at him with irony and sarcasm; so you are looking for easy killing streaks, you will not find them here. So, a man finds himself into the wild? It's a different world, and yet he can breathe its air? Finds himself in a lucky-low-level zone? Oh, look at that, people speak English—how likely is that? So, nope, not for me, gentleman. You won't find anything of the likes here. Again, a man finds himself in a new world but only thinks about the system? Yeah, that's not exactly how it works. David will try to find out what it's really all about, what the aliens want, how they work, why is that Fay really helping him? You can kill somebody to get levels, and yet there is not even a form of police? Not gonna happen here. Man becomes suddenly overpowered in a world where people can live for thousands of years by having enough luck to face only lower-level people? Hahaha—nope. Lastly...Spaceships and fantasy with LitRPG... say what!? Well, what's wrong with that? Let's make it happen, shall we? *** You want even more info? Really? Alright... David will start from the very bottom of the food chain, so there will be a settling arc—it's inevitable. David will find true companions, with personalities and backstories, and they will have a life of their own. There will be enemies, and those enemies will have a life of their own, too; there will be no evil just because. The world-building will have true depth; it will not exist just because the protagonist visits it. There will be both Fantasy and (Soft) Sci-fi—yeah, you heard that right. There will be rationality to every action taken, as long as the characters are aware of what is going on. There will be a godly system. You will come to read because of the world-building, but you will stay for the characters. The dead stay dead, and you will weep for them. There will be no action without a reaction. Lastly, there will be laughs. Are you still up for it? Then get in but fasten your seatbelts because it's going to be a wild ride. *** Release Days: Twice a week Release Time: ~09:00 PM UTC Words per chapter: ~3000 This web novel is also available on other platforms.
