《Earth´s awakening》End of cooperation
Advertisement
Jordan was a man that holds a grudge and will not forget about how someone insulted him, even though he looked calm on the outside Jordan was holding himself back so that he does not beat them up to teach them a lesson about decent behavior.
After the fight, they did not even stop to butcher the beasts and quickly continued to the supermarket, as for the wounded there were only two with not threatening bitemarks so after a bit of bandaging and clearing the wounds the group continued on its way.
The rest of the way to the supermarket was uneventful they only met one lone beast that ran away, ´I should rather scout myself, if they do it like they fight we will probably all die´ Jordan "wait here I will check it out" said Jordan with a voice that left no room for debate and even though he was smiling if gazes could kill he would already kill all of his "teammates".
When Eric heard that, he tried to say something, but Jordan interrupted him "Don't even open your fucking mouth, rather stay back and protect your girlfriend" Eric ", you BASTARD!" Eric was about to hit Jordan with a punch, but when he saw the look in Jordan´s eyes together with his smile he retracted his hand, it looked like if he really punched him Jordan would kill him on the spot. Jordan "good, now wait here" It pissed Jordan off that Eric with an awakened center of power just stays in the back and doesn't even fight so he vented out on him a little.
After Jordan left the group they began to curse at him "demon bastard what does he think he is" or "he should be grateful we took him in" even "he should show some appreciation for our help" they thought that Jordan couldn't hear them but little did they know about Jordan´s enhanced senses.
As Jordan sneaked away he listened for a bit before he moved on and he was beginning to hate them even more, he wanted to rip their hearts out and feast on them but suddenly he stopped and began to think ´weird, I wasn't impulsive like that before, the mutation had bigger effect then I thought… either way they will get it´ Jordan no longer cared about the cooperation.

After cooling down Jordan made his way into the supermarket through a broken window and when inside he looked around, the shelves were mostly empty as they were looted before the monsters even began to roam streets so he slowly moved on while keeping a low profile.
Jordan was going around the shelves when he began to hear a "guru guru" sound, slowly Jordan peeked from behind a corner and saw a big lizard-like creature, it stood on two legs as the hind legs were mutated for standing and the front legs began to look like a hand but the appearance of lizard was still there, mostly because the creature was 1 meter (3 ft 3 in) tall together with about 1 meter (3 ft 3 in) long tail.
The creature looked almost intelligent as it picked a box from the ground and began to search through it.
Very slowly and quietly Jordan made his way around it, he didn't want to kill it because if it really was an intelligent beast it would be a huge waste, if Jordan can get intelligent beasts as subordinates the need for human subordinates will plummet, hopefully, the beast will survive and proliferate.
In a while Jordan arrived at the storage of the supermarket and began to search around, thankfully there weren't any beast, but also no visible food, it took a while but Jordan found a pallet with beans in tin cans that were hidden bellow rugs together with around 30 bottles of water.
Jordan opened the door used for restocking the goods and went for the rest of his group, they quickly put what they could into their backpacks and rest in the shopping carts that they borrowed from the shop, they tried to be as quick and quiet as possible but few beasts appeared and two even attacked them when they could see only one of the man before the supply door, but Jordan quickly killed them and loaded them on the shopping cart together with food.
When they were done, they made their way back, carrying the shopping carts in pairs rather than driving with them to be as quiet as possible, and just like that the group slowly made its way back.

Jordan "we are taking a detour, the dead bodies of the beast we left there could have allured others or warn the leader" the rest of the group only grumped something and Eric spit on the ground, when Marie saw that she smiled still they complied and did as Jordan said.
With few skirmishes that got them 4 more dead beasts, they made it almost back, they could already see the school when Jordan said with a bright smile "stop there" Eric "WHAT! We are almost ba–". Before Eric could even finish, Jordan punched him in his guts, "you bastard!" "You will die you bitch" with similar shouts rest of the group began to attack Jordan while Marie tried to form a spell, punch to the nose here, to guts there, low-kick to a calf, kick to solar plexus here and there, before they could even form organized assault they were all laying on the ground except Marie who just finished her spell and sends a fireball to Jordan.
Jordan lightly sidestepped and with little to no effort moved out of the way. Marie "WAIT! IAM SORRY PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!" Jordan "I would stop shouting if I were you," said Jordan with a smile "or do you want to get eaten?" Upon hearing that Marie shut her mouth and fallen on her knees.
Jordan slowly made his way near her and then punched her to her solar plexus with considerable strength, Marie was out of breath and fell on the ground, she even started to puke after a while, meanwhile, Jordan went around and gave few kicks to those that had still some fight in them.
Jordan leaned down to Eric and spoke to him "you know, I really wanted to have a mutually beneficial relationship with you but you treated me very poorly from the start, even after I have proven my worth you acted like a bunch of bitches" while saying this Jordan continued to kick the crap out of the group.
Jordan "anyway I will be leaving thanks to you, also I hope you survive so we can play together someday in the future again" Eric tried to stand up while yelling "YOU ARE DEAD!!"
Being tired of Eric bullshit Jordan knocked him out with a punch to the head, with this out of the way Jordan took three shopping cart out of the five they took, especially he took those that were filled half with food and a half with the six corpses of the dead beasts they got, like that Jordan went back to the school, but before he went away he didn't forget to leave few words of encouragement "if I were you I would try to get back before the beasts here eats you ass, byee~"
Jordan left while the rest of the group was cursing at him, he wasn't worried about them because he left them in the area where he left his beasts, those were the plan Jordan prepared if things went sour and he needed a distraction, but they could get eaten by another group that Jordan didn't have under control ´I guess that´s nature… if they get eaten they were destinated to get eaten´
Jordan went a bit far away from the group and made sure no one was around before he began to focus and with a low growl called his beasts, four beasts out of the twelve Jordan controls showed up, while Jordan made his preparation, he tamed several beasts and tried to explore the extent of his ability, thanks to the horn he can somehow communicate with them but the beasts under his controls have roughly the intelligence of 3 years old kid.
Jordan can give them orders but if the orders are too complicated they won´t be able to complete it, for now, Jordan took four bodies from the carts and tossed them on the ground while trying to tell them to store the corpses for him for later, he can only hope they understood.
After that Jordan went straight to the school, and after few minutes Jordan was before the gate, it was already the point of no return... Jordan had in plan to give a speech and try to recruit some of the people, then he will move on.

Ursus Ex Machina
Ozzy was a man of the wild. Raised in a remote village atop the world's mightiest mountain, he'd been taught to respect and revere the natural world. The realm he was born into had been there long before him, and it would remain there long after him. Sure, there was the occasional madman who threatened to destroy it, but such boasts were always empty. No one individual was actually capable of demolishing this beautiful blue-and-green ball Ozzy called home. No matter what terrible magics these villains wielded, they were incapable of causing permanent harm to the environment. Even if the planet was completely devastated, it would recover. Life would find a way to flourish, same as it always had. That was what Ozzy believed from the bottom of his heart, so he never once felt the need to save the world he loved. After all, it was never truly in danger. The world would be fine no matter what. The people were a wee bit endangered, but that was another story altogether. However, what would happen if Ozzy suddenly found himself devoid of his beloved wilds? What would the man do if the realm he knew - one of wonder, magic, and chaos - was replaced with a man-made environment of concrete, industry, and steam? Ozzy could never imagine such a thing happening, and yet that was his new reality. After losing a fateful confrontation with a mad wizard, he and his friends found themselves transported to a strange world so thoroughly alien that every waking moment feels like a fever dream. Separated and scattered to the four corners of this land, each of these adventurers will need to adapt, survive, and overcome if they hope to reunite. They would also need to do so quickly. The sooner they are able to find one another, the sooner they can figure out a way back home and have another crack at putting an end to the villain's plans. Whether such a thing was actually possible in a world with barely any magic in it was a valid concern, but Ozzy had more immediate things to worry about. For instance, why did the air smell like a perpetual forest fire? How did ships sail through the sky as if it were water? And most importantly, was the pavement he was hurtling towards at high speed much softer than it looked? Probably not, but a man could hope.
