《Galactic Intervention》003 Hunting and gathering
Advertisement
Once we reach the top of the rope climb didn't let the little girl off my back I let her to the bedroom and let her sleep in there and rest. I gather medical supplies so i can bandage her up in myself elsa grab some ice packs for any pain or bruising. After that I went through all the items I collected from the mountain bull. I put on the enraged mountain chest plate and then I went over and drink the vial of blood while eating the brain to see if I could gain any skills like the item description suggested. I cooked the cow brain in a frying pan and poured the blood into the pan. Once the meal was done in cooked so it didn't seem toxic I pulled it off pan and set it on a plate ready to inspect what type of meal I made.

I shoved the whole brain into my mouth and drank the blood off the plate all while feeling sickened and choking on the mush.

The next morning when I woke up the girl was sitting in the corner staring at the floor. "Hey I was gonna head out how about you tag along so you can get stronger."
She only nodded her head then stood up. I gave her a kitchen knife. "Be careful with this since it could hurt someone. Only use it if you feel like someone might hurt you."
We climbed down the rope then wandered on out of town into the forest area. We ran into her first opponent which was an overgrown maggot that had rows of sharp teeth. She was fearful of the maggot until I cut it with my shortsword knocking it down to a very unhealthy state. While it was squirming on the ground the girl stabbed it to death. "Finn a screen is in front of me."
"Cool! what does it say?"
"You have gained 5 xp and an item for your first monster kill. The item is a pupa. What does that do?"
"It's like an egg for insects. Pull out the pupa and focus on it."
She stared at the pupa for a minute. "It says: mystery pupa, rank mystery, quality average, remarks here you go dear."
Well what the fuck I thought. My system is always an ass to me yet it's nice to her. We went through the forest killing a bunch of maggots and horned rabbits. I leveled up ad this is what popped up.

I told held up my hand to let the girl know to hold off since I wanted to try my Goring rush skill. I Hold my sword out towards the pig and lunge forwards at it. The skill made a large spike appear on my arm. Once it made contact with the pig it split it in half.

I went over to loot the pig and I received the most magical item any mortal soul could ever come across.
Name: Bacon
Rank: Uncommon
Quality: average
Remarks: To you its a god but to me its fairly trash
"Shut your filthy mouth you wretched system! This is bacon here! This is my lifeblood!"
Surprisingly the system responded Yeah well fuck you too buddy. I didn't choose to be paired with you. I'm only with you because the gods said so.
"Don't get snarky with me!"
Listen mortal I can take away everything by spawning the fucking kraken on your ass!
"Fine but stop being a major dickhead about everything."
No.
I started to walk off with the girl back towards my house. "Hey I gotta ask what is your name?"
She looked up at me angry "Finn you babysat me a few times it's me Sarah!"
"Wait you mean doodle on the walls with a sharpie girl? Oh my god you gave me mini heart attacks every time I babysat you."
"Well at least you keep me safe now and I don't draw on any walls."
"True."
With that we walked in silence till we got back to the house. Once we climbed back up she went to sleep for the night and I packed away all the loot. We got 31 X Vials (maggot), 6 X Vials (Horned rabbit), 4 X horns (Horned rabbit), 6 Pelts (Horned rabbit), and 9 X bacon strips (Forest pig).
After that I also went to bed.
Once it was morning I just laid there in bed wondering how long this type of life would last. I wondered how long until the fixing was over and how many people were left alive. Of course the system felt like raining on my day.
Time till fixing is over: 4.7 billion/ 500 million human lives
Well damn that means within a few days 2.9 billion people have died off. I wonder if the number keeps falling or if it is stagnant.
Oh trust me it is falling still. The rate is now 200 million humans die a day. If this rate continues the fixing will be over in about 20~ish days. So have fun Finn.
I felt like it was possible that maybe me and sarah would outlive the rest just by hiding in the house and hunting for food. Undisturbed and left alone. Then I hear a knocking on the front door

My Good Friend Murphy
***Disclaimer*** I wrote and am writing this purely for my own amusement. That means that this could have major revisions done to it sporadically, it has more grammar errors than even the most mentally stable grammar nazi could withstand, and will not update at all regularly. This is an ad-hoc fun experimental work with forced motives, plotholes, and static characters. Don't expect too much. That said, this mutated mistake of a short novella follows a ditzy MC who has been transported to a new world with the dubiously useful skills origin and enigma and the obnoxiously imbalanced skill, traveler. If you'd like more incentive to give it a shot, you will never get spoilers about the plot because there isn't one (Actual synopsis coming soon, relative to eternity)

The First Primordial [DROPPED]
[Story dropped until further notice, I don't currently plan on restarting the story but will leave it as a possible option] During the Creation and before the inception of the Realms, there were 3 beings. Known as Primordials, beings even the God's knew little about that were rumoured to be myths or legends. Follow one of such beings that, given the unflattering name Arthur and the species of Demon, must figure out his place within the realms and find his fellow Primordials. Spending the beginning of creation within what will be called The White Realm then spending an unknown amount of time screwing around in the Demon Realm. Once he finally begins his story, he will be acquainted with a world full of grand vistas, religious nuts and floating rocks which will remove whatever little common sense he had remaining. Of course, there will be no shortage of trouble that will complicate things that (due to a poor ability in making good first impressions) will cause more than a few worlds changing events. These events include the destruction of a church and minor religion, including the death of that religion's God, messing with the reincarnated people and even introducing his own reincarnators along with the slight involvement of a war between the Demon Realm and the Creation Realm. Slow burn story; expect the story to be long with plot being introduced as it goes along. The story will include a main character with an actual mind and personality that will create, learn, and even destroy as the story progresses with an emphasis on what experiencing the other side of most novels, a perspective on that one whimsical god that brings the protagonist from one world to another that is only ever mentioned in the starting chapter. [PS- This will be my first time writing, so advice, tips and critiques will be appreciated. The release schedule is a bit iffy and unreliable but will mostly be every Sunday]
