《DK (Dropped)》Chapter VII - Priorities
Advertisement
Trough the stairs I walked again.
(As I was told, next floor should be stored with food. There should be enemy bodies there along with some bunnies?)
(But why did he use the word bunnies? Why not rabbits? Was the translation wrong?)
"Or do wasps only enjoy bunnies as food? Is there something wrong with the adult rabbits?" I mumbled.
While this was a fantasy world, even with few differences, the translation has been always accurate to some extent.
(There is also their weapons.I don't think they know how to make them, so how did they get them? Trade? Robbery? Spoils of war?)
"Ah, this must be the third floor with the food."
The third floor was pretty much the same as the second floor, the difference was the exeption of not having an extra room like the one the queen had.
Someone else was here, holding a spear, the spear wasp.
"Great DK, welcome to the food floor!" (Spear Wasp)
As I looked around, there were bodies of Arach on the floor, while several bunny bodies were lined on the right section wall of the room, both also had something on them.
"Tell me, what is that, holding the bodies?" I asked the wasp with the spear, while pointing at the bodies.
"This is a liquid we wasps can produce, it can be used for several useful things, like glowing in the dark to provide light, hold objects on the walls as you see with the bunnies and it can even help preserve food making it last longer." (Spear Wasp)
"Useful indeed, I have another question if you do not mind." (DK)
"Please ask! I will answer on what I can!" (Spear Wasp).
"The weapons that you use, did you made them? If not, where did you get them?"

"Unfortunately, we do not have the knowledge how to make these weapons." The wasp spoke with regreet. "As far as I know, they were acquired by traders... My apologies! I do not know anything regarding the trading we had!"
"It is okay, now, I ask you to go with your queen, she is probably looking for you." (DK)
"If that is so, I will immediately go to her, excuse me, Great DK!" He replied while bowing his head.
Then, the wasp flied off the room.
Like him, I also left that floor, but to the fourth floor instead.
(The Arach did not use weapons and if wasps did not make their weapons then that only means there is more races out there!)
"Muahahaha! Yes! A whole new world! With lots of variety, plenty of entertainment for me!" I shouted with pleasure as I reached the fourth floor.
After I entered the fourth floor, compared to the other ones, I felt disappointed as it was pretty much empty.
"Only these? And I bet there wont be more in a while... They dont know how to make more, their trade partners probably do not even know where they are!"
Without counting the 3 swords, 1 spear and 1 shield that the current wasp warriors were using, there was only 1 shield, 1 sword and 1 spear available.
The weapon numbers were a joke compared to the number of wasps that was soon to be born.
And another issued appeared as I checked those 3 weapons closely.
"By the look of this, they also do not know how to maintain them!"
(I cannot even use the weapons properly!) As I was trying them out. the fact is that the weapons were for people as the size of the waps.

The sword and shield were too short for my hands.
"The only way I can use these is if only I use two fingers!"
The spear was a different problematic story.
"I can hold the spear, but the size... Looks like a fucking arrow compared to me!" I laughed with huge disappointment.
For a moment I almost threw the spear away, but I held my feelings so the weapon would not get broken.
(Even at this stage, these weapons are worth more than gold...) So I thought, following with a "sigh."
Actually, at this point, in this world, even gold is nothing more than a useless shiny rock.
"Well, since the other floors are empty, I would say I am done with checking out this..."
(Considering how they seem loyal, it makes this both my house and the wasps home, for now I think the word Hive will be the most correct one!) "...Hive!Yes a Hive." I confirmed with my own words.
(I should return to the first floor) I decided as I walked down the stairs.
Slowly I descended, thinking about my future plans, there was still so much things to do, so many questions in need of an answer.
For now, my priorities were somewhat clear, improve and create new skills, to be sure about the wasps loyalty, establish contact with traders, protect the queen, secure my land, insure that the waps are well provided with food, training and weapons.
As I exited the stairs to the first floor, there they were, the queen and her three protectors, awaiting for my arrival.

In a world where art has power and power is everything, Thando Nkhosi is an MMA fighter trying to stand out and be somebody. At least, as much as one can among 23 billion other people. Life is generally good under the [High King]. That is, until he and his friends are catapulted into the upper echelons of the Inner Planet Federation by being granted a power that may be a bit too much for them to handle, and given a task that seems impossible. Trying my hand at a hopefully unique LitRPG system. No stats or number crunching though. Kinda scifi, kinda fantasy but scifi elements only really become plot relevant after the first arc. Won't be doom and gloom but will get really dark at times. Updates twice a week at minimum (2-3k words), sometimes more when school decides to let me out of the pillory lol. Inspired by a writing prompt on reddit and WarHammer 40k orks.
