《Beyond Mortality》Chapter 2- Forces of the World
Advertisement
Locux was in deep thought as he looked at the weapon. He had no idea how to bring out the maximum potential of the weapon. It must be understood that any weapon regardless of how primal it may seem in design requires skill and a certain degree of expertise in order to conquer their foes.The Weapon was Locux crafted seemed to resemble a spear of some kind.
“This just requires some practice,” Locux said.
He proceeded to execute series of basic actions such as slashing and stabbing.Locux, in the beginning, was slow and the attacks held no intent or force. The attacks were shallow and resembled that of a toddler attempting to walk. The slashes held lackluster momentum. The stabbing attacks were not stable and his body wasn’t able to control the force in order to maintain balance. He repeated these two actions for what seems like 2 days before a strange occurrence! He was slashing again but this time the slashes were followed by a tyrannical and overbearing force! The stabs and thrust were like dragons raging in the heavens and earth, completely shrouded with the charm and bearing of a sovereign.
“HA” Locux yelled as he performed a series of moves
ThwacK!
Locux saw deep scars on the small tree he was hitting
“I’m barely passable. The creatures that live here aren’t trees unfortunately and they will devour me if I don’t kill them with overwhelming strength”
At that moment realized that he had a strong sense of hunger and went looking at the small moat that surrounded his makeshift tent.
While Looking he discovered 3 small creatures that resembled rats with horns impaled by his traps. Locux after looking at them with disgust for a second decides to collect their dead bodies. He takes them near his tent and proceeds to dashed them with his makeshift weapon before setting up a small fire. He cuts up the creatures and stores a fee pieces of meat away in the tent while cooking the rest.

“Hmm, that was surprisingly tasty! I guess I shouldn’t judge by looks haha”
The next few days went quietly. The most dangerous occurrence happened when Locux saw a tiger the size of a small tree. This tiger was almost completely muscled just based on appearance and it had the smell of blood lingering on it. When Locux saw this Tiger his first instinct was to run! This didn’t work out too well. Despite being massive the tiger was a nimble and fast as a rodent. Locux could only extend the chase by making a series of complicated turns that slowed the Tiger because of its lack of flexibility. The Locux while running saw a path between two trees that could get him but not the two tigers. He decided to slow down when he reached path and when the tiger was about to pounce he navigated between these two trees which resulted in a comical scene of a huge tiger stuck between two trees. Locux turned back and saw the tiger was slowly releasing itself and it also had a fire burning in its eyes while it looked Locux down.
When had it ever been so humiliated before? It had to wash the shame away with the blood of the human that disgraced it. Locux knew he was not going to live because even if he escaped the tiger could potentially track him down. Knowing this Locux created distance between him and the creature and then proceeded to roll around in the dirt in order to mask his scent from the beast.
Locux thanks to his quick wit and sharp instincts survived but he had to stay away from his original location because the items within the camp carried his scent.
Locux had to set up camp once again.
While setting up camp a voice was heard
“I’ve found you! You slippery little bastard”
