"So delicious!"
Aariv took another bite of a frog leg and swallowed. He had returned to the stream and gone on a hunting spree killing many frogs.
"And even after I killed so many of them, there're still so many frogs in that stream," Aariv mutters. He then checks his stats.

"I really should use my stat points," Aariv said as he swallows the last of his cooked frog.
He then proceeds to put twenty points in strength, ten in endurance, 15 in agility, and the rest in wisdom.
Satisfied, he closed the stats screen and pull out the fire.
Aariv stretched his body, spread his wings, and took flight.
Flying, Aariv could see nothing but trees with some bodies of water. Also, the deeper he flew into the forest, the stronger the monsters which made some sort of sense to him.
There also seem to be some sorts of rulers that patrol their territories.
A pack of wolves cornered a deer. The deer tried to look for a way to escape they were blocked by the wolves.
The deer then tried to charge at the wolves with its antlers. Its antlers hardened and sharp thorns began to form on it.
However, the biggest wolf of the pack then rammed into the deer's side, throwing it to the ground. The wolf then ripped the deer's throat out, killing it.
The wolf's fur was ash red, and its claws and teeth were red like hot metal

"And that thing is most likely not the strongest thing that is in this forest," Aariv said. He had seen several other kings, some were stronger than other of course. "First a rat, then a spider, then a bee, a deer, and now a wo—"

Something caught his attention.
A herd of deer approached the wolves. Their fur was green with some brown spots, the bucks' antlers looked like branches and had vines on them.
Their leader, the biggest buck of the herd, had leaves growing on its body. Its antlers had thorns, vines, and birds on it.

The Woodland Buck King noticed the dead deer and glared at the Flame Wolf King, snorting angrily while stomping its hoofs.
The Flame Wolf King growls back.
The pack of wolves behind their king begans to get hostile and started to barks and growl at the deer.
The deer snort and stomp their hooves angrily.
The Woodland Buck King stomps its hoofs, making roots grow out of the ground and strike the wolves injuring some.
The Flame Wolf King responded by engulfing itself in a ball of fire, charging at one of the deer, killing it.
The deers and wolves went out on a full-out war at each other.
The doe launches roots at the wolves and the buck impales the wolves with their antlers.
The wolves lit their claws and teeth and tore the deers apart.
One doe limped away from the corpses of the wolves that had attacked it. The doe fell to the ground as an arrow made of ice lodge itself in the doe's neck.

Experience is awarded.

Digital Immigrant
This is the story of how James Allen Quick and Sarah Lynn Abernathy died. By 'died', I mean that their hearts stopped, their brains ceased sending electrical impulses, and all other physical functions terminated. Immediately after which, their bodies were placed into an industrial furnace, reduced to ash, and the ash was spread about in one of the last forest reserves in North America. As ash-spreading locations go, this ranked third. First and second places were, of course, a person’s favorite athletic team’s playing field and the sea. Or rather, I should say that this is how the story begins. You see, it’s what came after that is so interesting.

EDIT(June 18): So I should warn you guys, I have been told that the chapters have too many info dumps. This is a shortcoming that i am now aware of thanks to comments and reviews mentioning that fact. Since i know many readers enjoy the character interactions much more, that is what im planning to increase with my future chapters. I would say only my more recent chapters have decent amounts of character interactions and this is what i will take a larger focus on from now on. Although there will still be information presented, I intend to not make them so long. If you can get past the info dumps, you may like the story. Who knows. EDIT(August 19): The summary above is new. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I dont usually do this... but if you like TLK, this story, then feel free to check out my other work: http://royalroadl.com/fiction/5893
