《Offworld》Hunt 2
Advertisement
The battle with snake was very useful in understanding how strong I was at the moment compared to a week ago.
I had improved by leaps and bounds in strength and speed, but most importantly because of my skills right now I was able to somehow contend with some of the smaller creatures of the forest, making me just above the bottom of this food chain.
I slowly pressed forward moving farther and farther away from my house, but deeper and deeper into the unknown .I continued forward without coming in contact with any new creatures for about one hour when I started to hear a sound.
It was a faint but continuous sound, clearly not from an animal.
I changed my direction and decided to go check out what that sound was.
....
It was a river. The sound I had been hearing was a little river.
It was shallow no more than 1.5 m deep and less than 10 m wide at the place I was. I approached the bank and stared straight into it. In the river there were numerous schools of fish swimming leisurely
“This is going to be both a good thing, and a bad thing.”
The good thing was that I now found a stable source of food and water from the river but that also means that this was also a spot where the animals came to quench their thirst.
The location of this river close to my home drew all sorts of animals, making it a hubbub of life, and that included different types of predators.
It was not good to have around so many predators, but the cons were very big.
With the abundance of life on the river I could raise both my stats and skills to greater heights without looking for prey that could possibly kill me.

Right then and there I decided that this river was going to be my daily hunting spot.
Looking at the abundant fish swimming leisurely in the crystal clear waters of the river I decided to catch some.
I took of all my clothes putting them in the corner of a tree and with the spear in my hand I rushed to the river bank and jumped.
“CANNONBALL”
*splash*
I jumped and did a cannonball on the river.
“Brrrrrrr. The water is ice cold; it must come from the ice melting from the mountains to the west.”
After having some fun in the water, and washing away the filth that had accumulated in my body for more than a week I decided to go right to business.
I grabbed my spear that I had lodged deeply into the river bed mostly made of slippery rocks and went to work.
When a fish approached me I would immediately stab it with my spear.
I was not very successful at first but when I got the hang of it ,and with the help of THRUST I made quite a big haul today.
“Oh here comes another one!”
THRUST
I quickly stabbed the fish with my spear and brought it in front of my face.
“You are a fat one aren’t you, you stupid fish!?”
As if the fish understood what I had said it started struggling so much that it freed itself from the spear and fell back into the river slapping me in the face with its tail in the process.
I was fuming. A fish dared to slap me in the face? ME?
“You think you can get away from me, you fat fuck? You are going to become this lunch’s main course.”
After an hour and a half of fishing I had caught at least 20 fish in total, but I couldn’t eat all of them .I absorbed all but one that I would eat for lunch leaving in their place only fish bones and scales.

I dried myself in the sun ,while I also observed the change that had occurred to my body.
I had lost all the fat that I had ,replacing it with solid rock muscle.
I now had a body like an athletes.Defined muscles that weren’t too bulky like the ones you got from going to gym giving me agility and not only brute strength to fight head on. My height had also increased some making me taller, but most importantly was that I had now regained my full vision removing a heavy burden that I had.
After drying of I put my clothes on, gathered my stuff and headed back.
...
I arrived at my home just as the sun had started so set, letting out a sigh.
The reason for that was that when I was gathering my stuff and preparing to head back I noticed that one of my wood javelins was missing.
I was very sure that I had all my three javelins with me when I arrived at the river, meaning only one thing.
“Someone or something stole it without me noticing .”
That night I slept holding my spear tightly in my hands.

The Good Crash: An Oral History of the Post-Scarcity Collapse
"Don't we all feel, deep down, that we deserve the apocalypse?" APRIL, 2028—Global capitalism has collapsed. America has sealed itself off from the outside world, and inside its borders, a revolution rages.All it took was one incredible little machine. That machine turned into two, then four, then eight... like a virus, the replicators spread.As a work of oral history, The Good Crash features over 50 interviews with key witnesses to the events of 2027. The text is rendered in the words used by the interviewees themselves, with light editing for clarity and concision. As such, the book contains language and themes that are not appropriate for children.By capturing the voices to the people at the very root of the revolution, journalist and historian R. Vondersnitch has traced the origins and aftermath of the replicators' rapid spread. Crucially, the book also includes perspectives and testimony from those who attempted to stop the spread of the reps. "Some of these are heroes, too, in their own ways," the author writes in the book's introductory note.

Dead Circus
Sylas never knew he was a Cambion, a being with supernatural abilities called Arma. Society discarded him out of fear and subjugated him out of jealousy. Now, Sylas has joined Dead Circus, a group bent on achieving equality for Cambions, no matter the cost. Sylas has been given a chance to fight the injustice present in the city-state of Concordia, and fix society for everyone to live free of chains and tyranny.

At the end, who will stay true to their virtues and who will be swallowed whole by the jowls of a twisted society? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dead Circus is an original dystopian light novel heavily inspired by Japanese light novel style storytelling, character design and world building. My hope is that every chapter will include a few full illustrations to use as supplementary material to the chapter itself. Dead Circus will contain mature themes and some uncomfortable topics. Any chapters containing these types of themes will be noted before the chapter begins. All art associated with Dead Circus, including the cover art is made by me. Fanart or any artist collaborations for the chapter release will be tagged with the respective creators. Dead Circus is divided into volumes and will release weekly with small gaps in between the ends of volumes. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I deeply appreciate your taking the time to read both this description and my work and I look forward to any and all feedback I receive. -Branime
