《A Real Life》Chapter 5: Alysium
Advertisement
Lying under the bright sky, the cat gazed lazily into the bright sky. It was so nice to lie on the green grass, listen to the harmony of birds while resting after a hard day of work. Yep, it was so nice...
As if!

With all of those statuses being applied after the fight, he couldn't move an inch from where the bear threw him like a baseball. That goddamn bear too, after agreed that it wouldn't kill him after being bribed, literally it didn't kill him out right, but let a bloody mess behind when happily skipped back to the forest. Still, don't know if it was lucky or not, the place he was thrown to was the outskirt of the town he was heading to earlier, therefore he wouldn't become monster food anytime soon.
In short, even with those statuses, the cat wasn't bothered that much at all. In fact, he was happy that he was still alive, and have a free trip to the village without encounter any kind of monster. Nah, the only problem was, he was itching in his back. However, with the stun effect, he felt like a living hell.
"Guh, grrrlll"
Really, he wanted to die right now and then, to skip the fate worse than death. He couldn't even bite his tongue, and tried to enjoy the sun shine wouldn't work either. If he could cry, he would do that right now....

Woaaaa, sniff, woaa
Cried in his mind wouldn't work either.
Looked at the status stun ran out, he counted second by second. The moment when one of the status disappear, he frantically scratched his back on the ground, ignored his wounds were throbbing. Satisfied after a while, he pulled himself up and slowly crept toward the town. His health was recovered by 6 during the time he was stunned, and since he wanted to save his last MREs, he didn't use them. Although, he was pretty hungry right then, so he tried to find some NPCs to get some food, His speed was very slow, so it was hard just to get close to the town center.
Although it just one of the starting town, Alysium was a big and bustle town with people walking back and forth all the time. Actually, when he checked their status, he got all kind of names such as Red, CalmingStorm, DaKiller, Weed,... though he doubted the last one was the original. That was weird, since if he recalled it right, the old man said all the participants are chosen by gods and their servants, so how many servants there were? Or maybe, these people were all NPCs that the gods send in as fillers for the game? They sure had too much time on their hand to custom every single person... Anyway, since he was hungry, he decided to use the advantage of "cute" cat to beg people for food. Self-esteem? Whazzat? If you are broke, hungry, crippled and is in a shell of an animal, throw that aside right away. Free food is free food, no question asked.
The cat slowly walked steadily to a group of people, rubbed his head against a adventurer who was talking with his group. tried to be innocent as he could be. That female adventure looked down to see what was going on, and spot a small creature stared up expectantly.

"Meoww~"
"Ew, what's a dirty cat! Getaway from me!"
Wait, what?
"It spilled blood to my trouser!"
"Maybe that cat has some kind of diseases, throw it away!"
Okay okay, no need to make a big fuss. I'll just move away from you guys, cheapskates.
Turned his head away from them, he waved his tail for a bit then went the other way.
"Ladies, I'll save you from that bloody monster!"
Who the heck is a bloody monster?!
Glared back to the newcomer, he showed his teeth out to make a threat. Even as a cat, he still had some self-esteems left, or so he wanted to believe.
However, that idiot over there already ran behind that bloody cat, ignored its threat. Swung his leg down the cat's "rear armor", he sent it flying across the long street.
"Nice kick!"
"Thank you, it's just my duty to protect beautiful ladies just like you."
- 3 health
Didn't know about the conversation behind him, the black cat was soaring the sky. There were white birds flying next to him, they had surprised looks on their face to see a cat could fly that high. The cat was waving his right paw to the bird, maybe to say hello, or it could also be a goodbye.
"Nyaaaaaa!"
The cat felt from the sky, luckily his destination was a soft bush of leaves right below. It still hurt, though.
- 2 health
His health was plunged down to one for the second time of the day. Seriously, the "lucky" and "cute" cat in the description didn't match with him at all. Crawled his way out of the leaves, he laid down to the grasses, once again. Still, he had more fun in the last few hours than the life on Earth, so he didn't complain at all. Sighing, he pulled his self up, then realized he was laying next to another girl. Afraid for another kick, he curled his body around, waiting for the pain to come. After for five seconds, he didn't feel any pain, so he looked up to see the girl's face. She was a small girl, about 13 at her best, estimated height was about one fifty centimeters. She looked a bit painful at the cat, though.
"Poor little kitty, are you hurt?"

Draugr Cell //Layer 01-- Investiture:
With the end of the only war to ever reach mainland Australia I found myself living out of a small room in an old military compound that had been handed over to the jurisdiction of the Department of Veterans Affairs. The end of the war, unfortunately, didn't mean the end of hostilities. The terrorism trend that had started back in the early 2000's with the attack on the world trade center over in America, had spread to just about every country on the face of the planet. Over time the constant threat from various groups meant the civilian police force was quickly undermanned, under equipped, and overwhelmed. They were simply unable to respond to the daily threats in any reasonable time frame, and in many situations lacked the both the skills and equipment required to deal with the threats to put them down in a 'safe' and expedient manner. Veterans of the war that were being reintegrated into society however, were just about everywhere, all the time. We have the training and the skills required to deal with just about any threat you care to mention, all we needed was access to the equipment to do so. In a world first, under the new Veterans program, the Australian government had taken the rather controversial step of allowing specifically selected veterans to go armed in public. Sure, with Australian weapons laws being very, very strict there were a number of hurdles to get over first, but that's where the selection part comes in. Tangentially that's actually how I met Brianna, my current partner. We work as ringers in Victory City, I thought being thrown into imptomtu combat operations and risking my life on a daily basis for barely livable wages was excitement enough. Then I met her... it... I don't know. An AI unlike anything else out there has wedged itself into my life and decided it needs to... look after me. What could possibly go wrong? **** This is the first book I have released, and my first entry into a cyberpunk universe. There is minimal drug use, a fair amount of sex, a bit of gory violence, and a sultry AI that has decided the main character needs a harem.
