I see 2 horned rabbits. I draw my swords so I can get some extra reach on the rabbits. I prepare my newest ability I acquired whilst hunting some other animals: [Pounce].

Pounce [Beginner]{ Level 3 51.78%}

Similar to that of an animal you sneak and wait.

Then when the time is right you strike

+30% damage mini crit when leaving sneak and attacking

Over the past day in game I discovered that [Sneak] was a very easy skill to obtain but it was different from [Stealth] as one was auto activated when a player sneaks around a place and stealth turns you invisible to a degree depending on the rank of [Stealth] you have.

I [Sneak] closer to the horned rabbits and I went over a mental list in my head of all their strengths and weaknesses.

+Their horns do a astonishing 50 dps when impaled by one. I learned that the hard way

+They have thick bones Kind of annoying

+They are exceptionally fast Really annoying

-They are morons Lol

-They fall for most traps [/font]For the extra Lols

+Their meat is tasty...

I shake my head as I realize how hunger was making me lose focus.

The rabbits both stop walking and one "Stands" up and sniffs the air. Well it's now or never. I pounce and slice the one who sniffed for me head's off in one slice. The other one tries to bolt only to have my other sword nick its hind leg and cause it to fall momentarily. Shit I silently curse to myself as I missed my mark on the rabbit.

The rabbit even with its leg injured quickly spins around and launches at me. Unfortunately for it I had seen this attack before and I knew that the rabbit would have the exhausted effect after the use of the ability and that would slow it down. Silly rabbit no matter who your opponent is, never reveal your trump card unless it will make a difference while fighting.

I swiftly dodge and before it even lands I grab it by its horn by activating [Tendrils] and [Parasite] and grabbing. I hold up the squirming rabbit with triumph. "Finally I did it!" I say aloud. While it may have looked very bad ass I failed to do it numerous times and had been stabbed through my [Tendrils] more than a dozen times before I even could grab the horn much less get a grip.

"Heheh...Ha..hahahahahaha!" I start laughing for reasons I don't even know. I look at the rabbit quivering in my possession. "Lets see if I can remove the horn while it is still alive." The rabbit eyes widens as it squeals with pain as I attempt to remove the horn.

Warning!

The actions you take are not sanctioned by

Faratus! She will punish you if you follow through.

I sigh and kill the rabbit. I then watch as its body dissolves into the ground causing a sapling to appear in its place. I have gotten several notices such as this one. The first was when I went to use my fusion magic on a Dire wolf and was warned that I wasn't allowed to use that on creatures below level 30 excluding an army including creatures under level 30 and also humanoids with the exception of babies and their caretakers.

I then pick up the decapitated rabbit and I start skinning it immediately. I start up at the top of the neck on the right side and I slice down at a diagonal esk line and I produce an okay after product. I sigh and start with the other rabbit and I make an even worse one than the first one I ever made. I shake my head and look down at the rabbit and cut the body into pieces and start eating it raw.

This of course is for the Survival of the Fittest quest which mentions a bonus if I eat all 20 of the hunted animals raw. Not only is my character getting endurance from eating the raw animals I also got a notice saying that my immune system would have to fight any illness that the animals were carrying and later I got a notice that said my immune system was strengthened also that it would stop updating me on it unless I got sick and what I got sick with.

I keep thinking to keep my mind off the fact I am eating a raw animal and I focus of the fact that this should be the last thing I eat raw in this game for a while. As I am at 19/20 (Parasite kills do count as eating them raw) raw hunted animals eaten.

Oh and another thing about Faratism is that you also have to eat the bone marrow or be placed in a crafting bag and be used within 90 days of obtaining the bones or I could lose dark faith points. While I still don't know what they do I do know that if I were to lose a lot something bad will probably happen to me.

Finally I am done! I smile gleefully and hear my stomach grumbles in complaint of eating raw food once again.

You have completed

Survival of the fittest

Rewards: +35 Dark faith, 5000 XP, +5 beast affinity

Bonus: Evolution of [Parasite] and renaming of [Faratus's claws] to [Rolfgar's claws]

YES I LEVELED UP! Also Evolution of sounds wicked! I have been training my [Tendrils] to just longer than my arms just so I could kill a rabbit. One. Singular. The tendrils seem to do as much damage as my fists do along with piercing damage that is based on agility/10*Speed of attack in MPH.

I check my stats and [Parasite]

My eyes pop open and I just about shit bricks. I can steal EXP?! Fricking AWESOME!!! THANK YOU FARATUS FOR YOUR KIND BLESSING!

I personally thought that the religion would provide just small stat boosts and some lore but obviously they are very much apart of the game as opposed to [Magic online] which merely mentions the existence of gods and their temples scattered across the game.

I rub my hands greedily as I think of what to do next. Should I slaughter the town? No... just because I can take EXP doesn't even the odds as I would need to take time to drain them of either their blood or eat them. As I ponder this a whole lot of windows cover my vision.

Well I am screwed. I they say sadly aloud, "Delete chara-"

2 Pending Alerts

1.We decided to revoke character deletion after it being abused several times

2. Event occurring tomorrow 3:40 pm real time at Narckemall

I sigh and decide to head to the town and sell my shitty leather from my shitty skinning. I start walking to Narckemall and it wasn't too far away from me just like a mile or two away. I see that the gates are closed which is odd as it would never close its gates unless there was an emergency. The guards see me (I have my mask on by the way) and they have an evil gleam in their eyes.

"Halt" the hiss. I look at them in the eyes and I reply, "I am not in the mood." more cold than I had meant to make my voice. The guards pull their weapons on me and declare, "By the authority of the new Duke sir, Narkall all of the other worlders must serve him. Those that don't will be executed."

I silently thank whatever god is still looking out for me and I slaughter all of the guards and I drain their EXP and I gain about 90 EXP per second I drain their blood via [Tendrils] after 12 guards and 1673 per guard for an astounding 20076 EXP. I curse the light gods once again for ruining my OP power for me for no reason other than for laughs. I would be nearly leveled up if not for the fucking Gods of light. The game was meant to be hard and unforgiving but this is just way too far. Well at least The light gods of nature didn't fuck me over. I guess I have Luminous the wolf to thank for that, but I really am scared to see what the dark gods will do. Because if "good" is this evil then how will "Evil" be?!

I Slash at the gates with both my swords and my new found strength. I put all my strength and weight into it and I break the gates... and my swords... I begin twitching again and I summon my claws and I start to run on all fours to the guard reinforcements. They had about 35 elite guards all around level 20. I am now completely focused on the battle. I summon my [tendrils] and I [Roar] then [Pounce] on the first guard and get a fatal hit to his throat. 2 lunge at me with spears and no regard for if their friend lived or not and one nicks me in the right leg and the other hits the dying soldier. My tendrils made short work of them. I see a [Chain Lightning] come flying at me and I have no way to dodge it.

I feel the lightning course through my body and I feel my mind go blank. I taste copper in my mouth and my [/size][size=small]vision blurry. I then hear a blade swinging. I attempt to dodge it and I fall over both helping and hurting me. It helped because I wasn't being fried by lightning the sword missed but now I have the [Stun] effect from the lightning and the [Toppled] effect from me falling down.Both cause the damage I take increase by 20% so a 40% increase. I glance at my health bar and see the horrific reality of my situation.

Health: 345/2032

SHIT! I am stunned and I can't move very precisely to fight these guys! I get a crazy idea... Hopefully for me it is an insane idea.

I use [Roar] and [Scream] together in hopes I could fuse them to make something great. The sound that escapes my mouth was nightmare inducing causing the guards to fall to the ground holding their hands over their ears squealing in pain. It sounded like I had 2 voices and both of which were scary to listen too. I could hardly believe it came from me. Well I did alter my vocal cords but still.

I then continued to rip out all of the guards necks with my [Tendrils] which seemed to level up and let me have an additional two [Tendrils] which is simply amazing. I also leveled up because these guards were elites and have more experience. I then think about what I would put my Stat points into when it hit me; I never put in my additional stat points I got from the "Blessing" and I decide to place 3 quarters of my 95 stat points into agility because it was lagging behind as pretty much everything else was gaining points from the blessings. I then placed the last 25 into wisdom. My stats ended up looking like this.

I smirk underneath my now very burnt mask and I hear voice of a young woman call out to me. I turn quickly and prepare my [Ember] and face her as a possible threat because even though I can replenish my health with [Evolved Predator] I was nowhere near safe as the Guards I fought were only level 20 that is not even close to a strong NPC and one of them took out most of my health with one spell and they probably would have slaughtered me if I hadn't fused my 2 vocal skills as they didn't require me to move when I was stunned.

I see bright raven black hair and red eyes accompanied by impossibly pale skin. I check my health quickly in case this encounter goes sour like everything usually goes for me today. She has on a hunter's attire and is holding a bow along with metal claws. Behind her I see someone wearing all black in the shadows holding two crimson gleaming blades (That made me notice him otherwise he would have escaped my notice.

I scowl and yell out to them, "Would you mind repeating that?!" The woman and the assassin approached me and I readied [Spark] in my other hand. "Senpai! What big tentacles you have" The woman sniggered. The assassin disappeared as soon as I looked at her. I immediately form a [Ember] [Spark] Ball and use the mana forcing it to fuse as a looking glass at other far away manas. To my surprise the Assassin was eerily close and I shot the ball at him in a half panic.

BOOM!!! That will never get old.

The now heavily wounded assassin showed me a toothy grin as I realized what I just did. I left a ranged threat unchecked and I now jumped as far left as I could to avoid the arrow volley only to be stabbed by 2 daggers into my gut. I swing my claws at him as virtual blood spews out of my mouth. I feel a numbing feeling spreads across my body as the fuggin rouge dodges my attack.

"Paralyzation poison?" I ask as I feel my knees buckle. From the way his eyes squint I could tell he was smiling profusely. I then fall to my knees and act more weak then I actually am. The rogue assassin guy takes the bait and his partner shouts for him to stop to late. I grab him with my four [Tendrils] and rip him into four pieces and as I regain my health from his corpse I then slump onto the ground and black out.

You have blacked outLog outSpeed up perception until you awake

I having no intention of logging out decided to mentally chose the the second choice which passed rather fast with me having some sort of potion shoved down my throat. I open my eyes to see a twisted royal hall which included a pile of corpses all torn apart. The worst part was there was a place where blood didn't seep and that was the Duke's seat.

Sitting in the chair was a imposing young man with dark green hair and purple eyes only his eyes didn't look human, they looked like that of a lizards. "Welcome masked hero, AKA Rolfgar Drogen."

I don't know what it is about his voice but I felt chills running down my back as he said my game name. He seemed smile more and more as I thought about random ways he could be defeated and then a new thought occurred. He could read minds or that potion had some sort of truth telling serum in it causing me to only be able to think aloud.

"Well at least your getting there but no you aren't speaking out loud and you are close on mind reading part but it's a spell called [Prelude] which is a lengthy chant spell. Speaking of spells I want to know where you learned to cast spells."

Well I hadn't learned anywhere and it was very easy to learn and master. Also what does[prelude happen before?

"No it isn't easy to master you including for you other-worlders. You just keep making me more and more interested in you by the minute." He spoke rather annoyed.

Hmmm... Now I really want to know what [Prelude] means.

The man looked pissed as I kept thinking at my high pace in no real direction thinking and he seems to decide he has had enough of it."You little piece of Dragon dung! You are taunting me by narrating what is happening aren't you!"

I am now really confused. He can tell I talk to an imaginary audience in my head pretty much every moment I want to record or recall in my head? I need to keep this guy away from my psychologist Phill otherwise I would be sent to an asylum. Great now the duke knows I am a lunatic great.

"Long story short you will become my pet and you will be under my control, yada yada bleh bleh bleh..." The duke start saying before I ignore him and pray to Faratus.

Dear Faratus,

Thanks for all your blessings and spells and stuff

I would like to point out that I don't know what race I am now and that you screwed me over with [Evolved Predator]

As great as it is it is annoying how the other gods acted.

I would really like an out from this guy please cause he is so generic and SO boring I would rather be hunting.

Or clubbing... Do you even- never mind.

Your disciple

-Rolfgar Drogen

A message then appears on my screen.

Give them hell

Quest: You'll find out

rewards: All quest items and items and an explanation

"Accept" I about yell as the duke keeps yelling at me to pay attention. "I guess he can't hear my prayers I then say out loud before I enter this state of 'I know what I am doing but not really' and I then realize I went full out with my mental condition and don't care.

I remove my shackles and I bite into the archer's throat. Tasty. I then use my [Tendrils] to finish her off. And I eat her heart out and oh the taste. The taste of victory. Also Iron, oxygen and other trace elements but who even cares right?

The duke looks at me with horror as I eat my tasty meal. I wonder how he will taste. I [Pounce] on the Duke and grab onto his leg and he screams and teleports to a castle and then again to a forest and lasty above the clouds before I ate all of his leg off. It was even better that that girls breast meat. My tendrils then rip into his back and we teleport to a lake and he lost four chunks of his back and he teleported away. Unfortunately for me that meant I was falling into a lake from a high altitude level. Oh well. Crap I left my pile of cor- EXP just sitting around to decompose. DAMN IT and it would have been so much foo-EXP! Oh well.

Your timer went off you sick fuck

-ADMIN99

I roll my eyes and splash into the small lake with a very rocky bottom. It took about 75% of my health but oh well. I get out of the water and I decide to take my [Pill] and logout. The [Pill] calmed me down in minutes and I hit logout and a notice appeared.

You may go on auto while offline

the higher quality the pod you are in the higher sync rate in faster times will appear when your NPC avatar is roaming and playing for you. The option to turn this off is in the menu.

I grin at this message and leave the game for the first time in weeks. Or rather hours.

Anyone know what I did wrong for the giant gap to appear before the two status windows????!
