《Rise Of The Swarm》Chapter 5 Demonic rabbit (Part 3)
Advertisement
[*Ding* Congratulations has been set as your Focus.]
[*Ding* Congratulations you have gained a new skill, ]
[*Ding* Congratulations you have killed a Demonic rabbit.]
As my eyes started to turn back into their normal yellowish-orange color I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my head, with it information flooded into my brain in waves however the pain eventually subsided as I started to get a basic understanding of Focuses
Which were more like main skills that with enough practice and understanding could create new branch skills, which could become ultra powerful given the time however branch skills varied depending on their user and said focus.
This created a diverse set of skills at one's disposal as talent was the only limit to the amount of focuses you could learn at your initial stage of cultivation, but eventually you would get more restriction as time went by, especially since every focus fells into either three categories Mind, Soul and Body which already had there own specific restrictions, such as spirits could not learn Body type focuses unless certain measure were put in place before hand and to make things worse every focus had there own energy which were required to be cultivated if the user of said focus wanted to use it properly.
And that was it!?
As in that was all the information there was!
Nothing really specific what were my abilities or energy I use! but for some reason i knew how to control my powers almost as if it was second nature, this put me at a loss and made me curious however before I could ask the System about this I felt a disturbance in the force, which caused me to put my guard up and inspect my surroundings.
As I looked around surroundings I suddenly saw another overgrown rabbit which looked exactly like the first one but the feeling I got from the former was slightly stronger then the one I got from the latter.
This rabbit must have heard of the commotion and wanted to check it out or have a slice of the pie, however when it saw that its comrade had fallen, and to an incest no less its eyes turned crimson red, but before it could do anything I trapped it in place with my telekinesis as I was not stupid enough to let my enemy strike first.

However the rabbit began to struggle which started to put a mental strain on me as i was still exhausted from my last scuffle which in turn caused my telekinetic grip to loosen, noticing this the rabbit started twist and turn even more aggressively, allowing it to break free from my hold as the pressure was to much to handle.
As soon as it was released the rabbit started to charge at top speed and rammed me on the side of my body causing me to flip a couple of times before landing on my back.
This was not the end of the assault as the rabbit rammed me again knocking into a near by wall, and did not stop there as it rammed me over and over again.
At this point I wondered if these rabbits enjoy torturing their pray or they just didn't like zergs.
Despite my mind being preoccupied by unnecessary thoughts, the rabbit was still ramming me causing more internal damages.
"pant... pant... pant"
I was completely exhausted and was about to accept my faith, seeing my state mind the rabbit stood a meter back and position itself for a final ram however as I lied my eyes on my torturer's corpse I stared to feeling my exhaustion get replaced by a want or more accurately a need, a need to survive!
I started using anything I could find on the ground to win the fight but no matter what I threw at it nothing seemed to work, until something caught my attention and with all the telekinetic power I had left I broke off a piece of a stalactite causing to fall but I quickly diverted its course directly into the rabbit's heart.
Pierce!!
[*Ding* Congratulations you have killed a Demonic rabbit.]
" Sigh"
I sighed as I tried to control my breathing and allowed myself to finally regenerate in peace...
...
After a couple of minutes Andrew started to feel his injures slowly faded away as he lied his eyes on the rabbit corpses that were showing early signs of decomposition but oddly enough he did not feel any sickness from staring at their slightly deformed bodies, going as far as to stare straight in their hollow eyes, however even if he did not feel ill there was a limit to everything, as eventually he had enough of staring at the corpses Andrew started to analyse his vicinity and beyond, he start to realize something big!

'Where are the rabbits?!' Andrew exclaimed as he started to panic.
[ They scattered away after you killed their Alpha]
' Great...' Andrew was relieved that the demonic rabbits migrated however he was latter shocked at the System lack of caution as he asked, '... but why didn't you wake me up when they were leaving?'
[ There was no reason to tell you]
'There are many reasons to tell me, like my well-being for instance.' Andrew said as the thought of those beast grouping together just to kill him made him shiver slightly.
[ What about your well-being?]
'Don't you care?'
[ Negative, do you forget who I work for?]
'...' Andrew had nothing to comeback with.
[ And besides why would i care about someone who addresses me by my race inside of my name.]
'Wait a minute, your race? I thought that was your name since that's what you called yourself.'
[Negative, me and that 'thing' are not the same being and I would kindly suggest you erase that notion in your head immediately.]
' Okay then what should i call you' Andrew quickly complied as he knew it was more of an order then a suggestion.
[I do not have a name, however you can give me one.]
Andrew did not know whether to laugh or cry when he heard what the 'system' said, however he still tried to come up with a name.
'OK how about I call you Kali... KC...no...how about Kayla, yeah Kayla, how does that sound?'
[ It is acceptable.]
'Great.' Andrew said with his head high as he was proud of the name, however his head soon slowly tilted down as something was on his mind 'Hey Kayla, since you and the System sound the same, how do I tell who is talking to me? ' he asked
[ I can configure my voice to something more of your liking if you wish, however I need to use your memories as I do not have any voices in my database .]
'Will it cause any damage.' Andrew asked as the thought of somebody searching his memories seem inappropriate no matter how many movies made it seem cool.
[ Negative especially since I already have access to your mind.]
'Okay then go ahead.' Andrew was a bit hesitant but eventually agreed
A couple minutes later...
Kayla said in seductively mature tone that if it could not tempt any man it would definitely intrigue them.
' Ah Mesa, it nice to hear her voice again.' Andrew said calmly as he stared at the ground with nostalgic memories of his girlfriend before he got reincarnated passed through his mind, however while his face was calm his body was slightly trembling.

Ortus
A woman wakes up in a forest, naked, alone, and injured. She has nothing but a strange, black dagger and mysterious, floating, blue boxes to aid her. Can she find food and water? Survive the deadly animals? Escape the forest? Learn about the life-altering magic the boxes provide her? She has to use her wits, her knowledge, and maths to do so. But first, baby steps. She doesn't even understand the language, yet. If you see any maths mistakes or strange story decisions, leave a comment and I will either fix it or consider changing it. This is also, essentially, a first draft. That means I will edit older chapters and nothing is final, including numbers. Any major changes are listed in the changelog below each chapter. Since this is a first draft, the start is noticably bad and inconsistent compared to the more recent chapters so you will have to endure that to get to the good stuff. Rewritten version of Ortus (Old Version)

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)

The Novel's Extra's Extra
As a reader, Cristopher always looked for things that entertained him, didn't matter what the "critics" said, all that matters was his own opinion on the novel, so he started reading "The Novel's Extra", a webnovel that despicts an author who is transmigrated to his own novel. It was fun and all with its own good and bad points, really, one of his favorites novels at the end of the journey, and that's taking into account the little fact that he didn't have too many things he was able to enjoy, not in that empty shell that was called life for him... Why could someone be born like that? With a void inside, an endless void that slowly consumes oneself... But... for better or worse... everything changed one day, the same day he woke up to discover he had the same faith of the author whose novel he just finished reading, becoming an extra in a novel, becoming The novel's extra's extra... /Ok, now that's the description I thought of... first of all, for those of you who are reading this, if any, a few points I have to make clear: 1. I'm not an english native speaker, so if you find anything wrong in the text, please let me know, that would help me learn, and I would be thankful for that.2. I'm writting this out of pure "enjoyment", so while I'll try to be constant, I'll not make any promises.3. True reason why I'm writing this is because I'm going through a moderate to crippling depression right now (and no, is not because anything trully bad and horrendous happened to me, it seems to have something to do with my brain's malfuctioning, among other things), and doctors told me to try writing as I enjoy reading. So yeah, this is more like a self-help excercise, to keep myself distracted while trying to be safe from my self.4. I choose to make a fanfiction of "The Novel's Extra" as I don't trully know how to write, and because I really loved that webnovel, though there are some points I didn't particulary liked.5. If you see some (let's be clear, really much) self insertion on this series, well, that may be me trying to escape reality, to which I make an early warning and disclaimer, and also ask for forgiveness, as I said before, this is more of an excercise, so don't take it too serious.6. I'll be a slow writer, as I have to still check a few things from the novel, even when I've read it like 3 or 4 times already, and because I know shit about writing a novel or a series.7. If you get to enjoy this, then that's good, I would be glad about it, maybe even more motivated, but I don't really expect this to be any good. Thanks to you all who may, or may not, be reading this novel./
