《Rat In The Dungeon》5. One shot
Advertisement
I am dead. I need to act fast. I don’t know why but I already jumped. On the bear nonetheless. Well. GG.
I flew trough the air like a freaking bullet probably way more than ten times slower but it felt insanely fast for me so I was a bullet in my mind.
And I landed right on top of his neck. Bit once aaaaand the poor bear died.
What??? I don’t know where to start. Nothing makes sense.
I didn’t get any announcements or anything like that confirming the kill.
I killed a bear in one hit. Maybe weakened but still that bear that literally fought ten plus monsters with single claw while eating like it was nothing.
I also don’t fucking understand how the spider managed to get the bear live in his cocoon. It makes zero sense. But I lived. That I understood. I lived. And I got to keep my status still.

Yeap it is there and it is awesome. It also makes zero sense and some of the values are hilarious but it only confirmed what I thought. Not only am I trash, king of trashes. The worst freaking trash in this dungeon of a species. But the bear was insanely strong. How would I otherwise explain skipping levels. It’s a basic rpg gameplay mechanic. You skip levels because you beat shit you are most likely not supposed to beat. OR you get carried by someone or something.
God I love this spider. Seriously I love it,him,her?!
Btw I have no idea what fame is and it makes absolutely zero sense that it would increase unless…. Wait a second.
Pushing aside the weird feeling in my chest that I started to have literally instantly the bear fell to ground. I realized something. The fame increase was a slight nudge or well clue as well.
The human in that cocoon is still alive… And yes I know it’s a human because I smelled its freaking footprint and no I am not a dog but I just can tell.
That means this freaking spider is about to kill a human. Yes maybe I shouldn’t give a fuck. But I just cannot. Heck I was literally refusing to kill spider that showed even shred of intelligence when my own life was on the line. But it is still a fucking monster. I have no doubt in my mind he is going to peacefully eat the human.
Maybe not so peacefully for the human though…
Alright. Not on my watch.
First I needed a plan but that was easy. And sure enough the spider was careless enough to not give a fuck about me anymore. At this point we are bros already.

I started eating the bear. That was literally the plan. The disgusting feeling gradually fell off. I felt like a shit for a little bit but while I was eating longer and longer it started to be just normal and soon I was completely full.
Weird that I almost passed out while eating………… oh…. Definetly poison. Yeap. Not so weird anymore… at least I know eating restore hp somehow to some degree. Good to know. And good that it works that way otherwise It would be one more dead rat in here. Funny what reincarnation and rat brain does to ones memory. Anyways the plan is to stick around the bear and continue to eventually eat it whole.
Why would that be a plan at all right? Well because the spider is for sure going to get hungry as well. I just know it. Well its only logical and I doubt it would last longer than me with full belly and nearby big pile of bear that I can eat whenever I want. Which is also spiced by poison but that’s just who cares.
And sure enough the spider got restless and careless. He didn’t care I am close by. He probably didn’t feel threatened by my presence at all. And sure enough I wouldn’t betray my boy, my brother. But the trade was fair game.
When my bro slowly descended the cocoon from the ceiling and went closer to it. He was literally standing with his butt faced towards me.
He trusted me and I am sorry but no. You are not going to murder a human in front of me on my watch. Really sorry brother.
I leapt like a bullet this time. It actually felt that maybe just maybe. I reached the tenth of the speed of bullet. Insane cool but foolish move considering where we are.
Im sorry bro. And I started biting right into his neck. And into neck. And again.
It felt like infinity the spider was confused I landed well over 2 bites before he started acting and realized I am actually trying to kill him. I swear to god it seemed he is sad and angry. Really angry. He was thrashing like mad. At some point he literally managed to tear off quite a bit of my skin by sticking me to some of his webs. But I preserved. I was landing my thirty bite. And the guy fell off his own webs on the ground and died right in front of the cocoon he was about to eat.
I wasn’t aware of that at the heat of the intense moment, but there was a spectator and my body hurt like hell. Even my tail hurt like hell. Wait where the fuck is my tail. Oh there in the webs… insane.
Well anyways same huge feeling in my chest after the spider died literally screaming at me something that I had no way of knowing what.

What? Eh. Okay… I turned my head on the cocoon. Sure enough. There was a very god damn hot girl. Cannot really say which hair of color because I am colorblind and all that but who cares… I don’t really know how old either. I was seeing a little bit of her boobs and face but surely adult with the size of these knockers.
¨Squeak,Squea…Squeak,Squa¨
I tried to sooth her very brief moment of fear that I noticed when she saw me literally standing on top of the spider that almost fell on her head.
It didn’t turn out bad but I wouldn’t exactly call a dagger going past my face a dashing success either. Well at least she missed. Eh… Was probably her only throwing knife from the looks of it although I am sure she has other weapons.
Seeing as her newfound strength only made her getting stuck even more to the web than before I decided to slowly help her. I chewed on the cocoon and slowly bit her out made sure to not bite her in the process.
Yeap im that stupid but the human understood my kindness surely right???
Well at least she only made sure to threaten me and not actually cut me with the glowing sword she had… that’s a start.
¨Squeak,Squeak¨
I tried to convey my every intention of being little cute monster rat that just want to eat without being brutally murdered by someone whom I saved.
I think when I started to eat the bear she understood it. Or maybe because it looked disgusting I don’t really know.
Its very epic to be a monster actually. Despite the nonstop weird almost like explode any time feeling in my chest which I skillfully and masterfully like a stupid idiot that I am ignore. Seeing your own parts like the tail regenerate right in front of my eyes. Very cool. The feeling is really good too. Both the one to fill my belly and what I would assume heal.
The girl was curious and she although with weapons still glowing and in hand. Circled me few times and even what would seem as attempt to pet me. I didn’t care I had to continue eating anyways until I was sure I wont die from the poisoned meat of the bear.
I understood quickly and well that when the food is being used to restore body parts it cannot combat the poison as well either but that stabilized quickly after I was completely restored to my glorious garbage and weak state of rat.
Then it was just matter of eating a little bit and I was done. My belly was full yet again. I guess the fight actually wore me out incredibly much because I managed to burn trough almost all of the bear meat from before. I just love high level meat. It is awesome.
Highly doubt anything else other than bears will be this much nutritious in there at all.
When I was done this time with the entire bear. The chick was completely ready to fight. I swear she wanted to. Maybe she thought after I eat I will start being mindless again??
You wish bitch. I am not that stupid one slash and I would die. Nope. Just get lost already I saved you and now I don’t know what to do anymore. I don’t think any sort of eating high lvl meat would save me from eating the spider…. Wait… only their fangs and whatever produce the shit should be poisonous…. Maybe I can bite these parts off and then safely eat the rest. Anyway it will have to wait for later because I am literally full and I wont go bat shit crazy on everything I see just to burn through fat. This was an EXCEPTION that I wouldn’t ever break again. Unless it would be my only and only chance.
The girl, woman? Young woman was still staring as if she saw a ghost or perhaps she thought this is just straight up impossible. Maybe honestly who cares. She is getting on my nerves. Also I am quite paranoid and she isn’t helping my sense of safety. Seeing as she is still fully battle ready. Yeap im scared you fucking bitch and that’s for sure because of you. Stop it!!!!
I couldn’t handle it. And started to went some of the piled up stress out.
¨Squeak,Squeak,SQUEAK!!!!! SQUEAK…squeak,squeak,squeeeeaaaak…SQUEAK!! Squeak¨
Couldn’t be bothered to translate my own sentences that I understood too well but I think she got the message that she is in fact ungrateful bitch that is literally too annoying to bear with because she just wouldn’t stop threatening me with her light blade of doom…
She just went away. She calmly sheeted her sword and walked away. Presumably to outside world. I was really, really tempted to follow her. But there is no way I can live with humans peacefully they would either study me or just kill me. I know damn well because similar stories are well knows facts on the Earth.
And thus STATUS I scream in my mind.

Again from Scratch Saga: Izmittor Unchained
If someone precious to you needed your help, would you extend it? Would you still do it if it costs you your peace and perhaps even your life? For Tercius, a man mysteriously reborn nearly thirteen years ago, there was only one answer to both questions. Feeling compelled, he sets out to journey to the northern Sogea and its infamous Western Izmittor mountain range, a natural stronghold of sky tearing mountains and deep canyons. Legends about the place abounded, but he knew without a doubt that the hidden valleys, rushing rivers, thick forests, and desolate landscapes hid powerful predators, the likes of which stalk the harsh terrains for an easy source of meat and bones. The many natural dangers of Western Izmittor would be hard enough to navigate safely for a lone traveler, but to make matters worse Tercius had enemies in the heights of Western Izmittor, humans and spirits who would see him dead if they ever learned of his true connection to the Pyramid of Tergaron and the Society of the Magi. To make things even more difficult, he also had to ensure that the true extent of his own Innate Skills remained hidden, for if the prying eyes of the world fell on him and his many secrets came to light, then he would never again know a day of peace. Can one reborn man manage to keep his secrets and still succeed in doing what his conscience compels him to? Will he have to choose one over the other? And can he do any of it without reigniting the sparks of a planetary war the likes of which had not been seen in millennia? Follow Tercius’ story and find out! *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** This story is a continuation of Again from Scratch, a story of mine also posted on RR. Reading it is NOT necessary to read this story, but for anyone who wants to get a little bit more background, here is a link: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/38803/again-from-scratch Again from Scratch was my first journey into writing and I have taken all I learned from that and started writing Again from Scratch Saga, a continuation that is almost stand alone.

But when he closes his eyes, the only thing he can see is a pair of disembodied eyes, blurry and indistinct voices whispering to him from the darkness. Is he haunted or just delusional, exactly what lies behind the things Li Yang sees when he closes his eyes? And exactly what is the Seed of Creation?

8 153Bloody Hell
Alan Maxwell has one exceptional talent. He can read peoples body language and micro expressions so well that, in many cases it's not hard for him to fake being psychic. When a foreign agency decides that said talent would make him an exceptional spy, events quickly begin to spiral out of control. With enemies on all sides, and friends that will as soon kill each other as his enemies, Alan will have to put his skills to the test in the ultimate game of cat and mouse. ===I came up with this story in response to a question. I once asked someone why there weren't really any Yandere harems. I realize that the answer to that is 'everyone dies' but thats boring so... here we are. A story I came up with explicitly as an excuse to create a harem entirely out of obsessive psychopathic axe murderers. Or in other words - "What happens to Bond girls when they disappear?"As a warning, there are sex scenes. Its tagged. I'll leave an authors note at the top of any chapter that has them if you'd prefer to skip it.
