《HIVE - LOCKED UP IN SPACE》[Chapter 7] Transition (II)
Advertisement
Thinking back, didn't I receive 3 skill points earlier? Hmm...
Pushing this thought away, the top right-hand side of my Minimap> was blinking. Assuming this was where my apartment was supposed to be located, I headed towards it. While walking towards it, it was already dead at night... the wildlife in the city was really active at night. Birds were chirping, owls hooting and various other bugs like Cicadas, grasshoppers, etc. could be heard off in the distance.
The wildlife in this area was really rich, this was a good thing. Although hunting for meals was still a rather far-fetched idea, it could be possible. Meat should be a valuable commodity, so it was always good to have some because good food was one life's only luxuries. Animals products such as chicken, rabbits or road-kill animals was also a pretty good jump from eating pre-heated canned food, at least quality wise.
This did not come as a surprise to me as most of the buildings here were not well maintained and somewhat abandoned. Maybe it was because this neighborhood was not in the neutral zone, where everything under the sun could be done here without consequences or repercussions. Everything here was fair game, all that mattered at this moment was the strength; because without it, one would not be able to survive in HIVE for long.
In all honesty, HIVE was nothing like how I thought it would be, I wonder how this supposedly helped inmates in their rehabilitation. It was more like a dumping ground for the unwanted; scums of society, lowest of life-forms that were deemed a threat to their fragile peace and order which they were trying to maintain.

"Fuck this is taking forever..." cursing under my breath, my face contorted as I walked towards a car park, rummaging for supplies. While doing so, something else appeared on my

Feeling anxious, this was actually my first time engaging in any form of battle. Hands still stuttering; I quickly rummaged around, taking whatever that could be used to inflict damage on the enemy. A pointed tip with enough room to grab onto an object was ideal, it was either that or a blunt weapon.
While rummaging through, I found a steel pipe lying around one of the broken down cars. Lady luck seemed to be on our side today! This time, without even willing the "system" to examine it, the "system" did it for me instinctively.

Awesome. The adrenaline rush was piling up, there were butterflies in my stomach. My senses felt as though it was temporarily heightened. Maybe this was the fabled "Survivor Mode" that your brain sends you in when in dire straits, facing a do-or-die situation? The rush is amazing, clutching the

The Power of Ten: Book One: Sama Rantha, and Book Two: The Far Future
(Author's Note: If you're wondering about the views, it's +1.8 million more on Webnovel, its original home. Updated daily starting Dec. 26, 2018, and continued with Book Three.) Some time ago, a planes-traveling archmage made up a video game to train some people on the planet Earth for the catastrophe he knew was coming. That game was the Power of Ten. The gods seized this opportunity to take the templates of some of those characters, and even their souls, for use in other worlds, and other realms. Sama Rantha is one of those characters, and is going to find out that being a Hagchild and having to survive after your Hag Curse fails to murder you at birth is much, much less fun than setting it as your Race at level One on a gamescreen. Join Sama Rantha on her Road to Ten, and letting her Hagmother know exactly what she thinks of her... ------ Warning: This book starts with a HARD OPEN! It was written as an extension of other stories that have not made it onto the Internet yet for National Novel Writing Month in Nov/2018. Book One/Sama Rantha: A traditionalist LitRPG in the fantasy world vein. The beginning chapters will be heavy with gaming terms and the supporting math as Sama exploits the rules as much as possible, minmaxing her heart out to get one up on the world trying to kill her. The math and rules lawyering tapers off, but are never eliminated, as Sama is going to do everything she can to exploit the rules of reality here and not die, while making sure those responsible for this get exactly what is coming to them... ------ Book Two, The Far Future (starting Ch. 286): The Warp, the final frontier; in the grim darkness of a galaxy far far away, there came a hagchild...QX! Sci-fi/Fantasy/psionics mashup, grimbright clashing with grimdark! Sama is sent into a setting she'd rather not be in, but the heart of a powergamer never says no, even in the crapsack galaxy of the Tellurian Empire. BOOK TWO IS COMPLETE WITH 357 CHAPTERS AS OF 9/2020. ----------- Book Three (updating daily): The Human Race (next Book!) - Urban Fantasy world. Three Power of Ten gamers come together in a world under the Shroud of the Cancer of Death. Whatever might happen when they do, and what might they find there? Book Three is complete with 500 chapters: right here. Book Four: Power of Ten is dumped into the Marvel Universe. Surely there'll be no changes to canon when that happens?

8 54A Will to Recognize
What do you think it takes to live? Is it strength? Power? Magic? Unparalleled intelligence? Or are they all mere accessories to the fact that life is irrelevant? Do you have what it takes to bear the burden of life? Does life even matter? I don't know, and to be frank, I am somehow alive; I was even able to function in society at one point. It frightens me to think no one else knows our purpose: not our parents, friends, or mentors. And I can't bring myself to surrender to any religion. But I do have a direction. A goal, one might say. My wish is to one day shout on top of the highest mountains, "Life doesn't frighten me!" But that won't happen. Because I died a long time ago. ... You're still here? That? Oh it was all in the script. You didn't think I'd actually say that cringey stuff, did you? ~Daniel
