《Wandering the Borderlands》Start (1)

Waking up I found myself in a desert shirtless. Luckily I had pants and was night time. Next to my leg was a small dagger five inches long it seemed extremely sharp. Twirling it around I started to finalize myself with it. Scanning my area I was disappointed to the max. I hated the desert. The sand was trash. It was rough coarse and would get everywhere.
Standing up I saw a road with dried blood scattered around with body limbs roundly about and roadkill just laying there flies buzzing around it as it slowly ate the rotting corpse. Moving my head around I looked up to see a massive H looking down at the planet. So a futuristic world though how advanced is this universe or galaxy. Walking down the road I stuffed my dagger in my pocket as I looked for a town or civilized area. This planet was giving me some bad vibes.
Walking through I met weird dog things. They looked like demonic earth dogs. With crimson eyes, they stalked me from afar assessing me. It seems something was causing them to hesitate in coming over and murdering me as I saw one munching on an unfortunate traveler similar to me. They seemed to have three large jaws and durable teeth strong enough to pierce bones.
Another beast I met on my travels was a large behemoth that hulked with pure muscle. They had four arms and would launch themselves in the air like a slingshot or piston. I saw this creature also hesitating to engage with me as well which confused me. Why were these animals hesitating? Just like before I saw the many victims these creatures Pulverized. Skulls littered the entrance to what I believed were their dens.
The wildlife here was interesting. Though it also told me the conditions of this planet. Harsh animals evolve in harsh conditions. This place was a hell hole. Which although obvious by the corpse's was made more evident by the barren wasteland that I traveled.

*Roar*
Hearing Roar's I tensed. and looked around in caution. It was the first time I had came across trouble. Looking behind me I was met with trouble. The beast that roared towered over me with arms large enough to send me over heaven and tumbling down hell. With four arms it roared with Feroushisness as it stared down at me. It seems for some reason it was challenging me.
So it seems all the other animals saw me as a predator for some reason. An alpha. How nice. Taking out my dagger of a blade I stared down the beast as we met eye to eye. Confirming his challenge for dominance we walked in circles. In the corner of my eye, I saw many animals watching. Awaiting results as they looked on in anticipation of who was going to win.
*Snap*
Steeping on a twig we rushed forward. Swinging its hands it at me I jumped up which oddly for me was higher than I expected to cause me to jump over the beast instead of its head missing its eyes. A missed opportunity. Though my body seemed strong. Seeing its tiny legs I instead changed my target. Although it heavily relied on its muscled arms its legs had almost no strength to it. An easy target for snipping.
Twirling my blade I dashed forward this time the beast instead of swiping sideways, smashed downward, its hands slamming down. Smart. Rolling sideways My foot was slammed down. Limbing back. I felt my ankle hurt hard. One for Bullymony Zero for me, huh. Although my constitution was amazing for a human it seems it still hurt to be hit especially with that attack.
The Beast seeing me slow down Blitzed forward. Filled with vigor, it ran as if seeing a feast in front of it. Closing my eyes something blocked my vision. A blue screen of information.

Seeing the text in front of me I only smiled. It wasn't like anything was going to get worse. Murder.exe, huh. What a nice name for what's going to happen. Opening my I ran forward the pain in my foot gone as I rushed with newfound vigor. Gripping my blade I jumped on top of the behemoth stabbing its eye before running down its back my dagger clawing down its back before shanking its legs.
The beast screeching in pain twirled its arms in hopes of hitting me. Only for me too dodge my body twisting and lowering in an inhuman way. Looking at my hands and arm I realized my whole body radiated dark mist. With my arms being metallic.
"How peculiar," I muttered as I now refocused my attention to the frenzied Beast who now rapidly attacked me. Its attitude now pissed with my shift of power. Smiling I pushed forward with a new change of attitude as I rapidly stuck its arms, legs, and face. Sensing that my blade wasn't doing enough damage to the thing I retreated backward giving me some space so that it would allow me to think.
"Damn if this blade wasn't so useless," I muttered looking at it.
"I wish had a gun or something. Things would have ended by now," I complained before realizing my blade shinned with black instead of silver. Examining it I realized that the blade was a bit sharper than when I struck first. Reexamining the wounds of the beast who now had one eye I realized that every time I pierced the Beast it would get slowly easier to pierce its skin. An evolving blade? Time to test it again.
Dashing toward the one-eyed behemoth slid to the side of its blinded eye. Jumping on its arms I jumped once more before driving the blade straight through its throat. The blade now in its throat I violently twisted it before pulling it out and striking again numerous times each time becoming easier and easier as I slowly stopped feeling of the flesh and bone that I was piercing.
*Splash*
*Splash*
*Splash*
*Splash*
Now on the ground, my body returned to normal. As my dark metallic hands were replaced to back to my normal flesh and bones with the dark mist gone. Looking back the beast's body now shriveling to nothing but a husk. The beasts face looked mulled and ragged. feeling the blade tremor its blade now looked similar to a bayonet.
Examining it I smiled. So I either have to kill something or damage it enough for it to evolve. At least I have an edge in this world. Looking at the surrounding I found many of the wildlife Bowing as if seeing me as their alpha it felt surreal. Not knowing what to do with them I just continued to walk the road until I found a town or something and if I didn't well I would just die I guess.

Return, Synopsis In the Triangulum Galaxy, one of a number of galaxies controlled by the Empire of The DARK LORD, JENNA OF CHRISTOS finds herself on the run after she killed a patrolman. Becoming pilot on a pirate craft, several years later she and other pirates are devastated by attacks of the Imperial Legion and are now trying to regroup. Seeking funds that will help them hide out for a time, their leader THURGOD DRISTA and JENNA meet with a PROFESSOR of galactic history who gives them information, a map and an ancient artifact described as a singing stone. He tells them that this could lead them safely to a legendary treasure trove, called THE DARK LORDS HOARD, on the forbidden planet TRILLA. The hoard is supposed to belong to the ruler of the empire who vanished close to one thousand years before and is presumed to be gone. The treasure is believed to be hidden in a tunnel accessible from the planet surface but no one who has gone into the tunnel has ever come out alive or sane. Leaving the pirate hideout immediately after the meeting and avoiding a major attack by the legion, the pirates travel to the galactic rim for supplies and to leave a false trail. With them they take the PROFESSOR and ILISA, a serving girl. However CAPTAIN TRASKA the commander of a Legions task force called Detachment T, has guessed the pirates intentions and tracked them to the rim. The pirates leave on their next leg to TRILLA unaware that CAPTAIN TRASKA with his force of heavy cruisers, is already there and lying in wait for them. Allowing the pirates to land, including an unexpected second pirate ship, CAPTAIN TRASKA sends a force of troopers to capture both craft and their guards. Before they can do this, THURGOD, the PROFESSOR and others, numbering thirteen altogether and led by JENNA entered the tunnel complex. JENNA, warned by ILISA that she must be the one to hold the singing stone, carries it in the hope that it will guide her and her companions past the many dangers in the tunnel. Shortly afterward, VIS VISTRICER the Legions overall commander travels to Trilla in an armoured planetoid, a spacecraft as large as a moon. On his arrival at TRILLA, VIS VISTRICER meets with CAPTAIN TRASKA but before they can do much, they are both surprised by one of the LADIES OF THE CIRCLE who is waiting for the outcome of what is happening in the tunnels. In the tunnels, JENNA leads THURGOD and the rest of party through many dangers and tests. Four are killed in the tunnels but the rest finally come to their goal where, to their surprise, in a cavern they meet the DARK LORD who is alive and very well. He has been waiting for them so he can return to the Empire. JENNA finds out that the patrol officer is alive and that she and many others have been manipulated all this time by the DARK LORD. She also finds out that ILISA, whose real name is JURA, is a member of the CIRCLE OF LADIES and was sent to teach JENNA many years before on her home planet of Christos. The DARK LORD restores and fulfills a promise to release JURA from her service as a LADY. He next has each pirate declare their own fate and takes them to the surfaces of TRILLA. There, at their election, he executes two of the pirates while JENNA is pardoned and some have the death penalty reprieved. The rest will face the courts of the Legion. VIS VISTRICER is raised to the rank of STAR COMMANDER, the highest rank in the Legion while TRASKA becomes a COMMODORE. The DARK LORD returns to Tihab, the administrative centre of the empire. There he takes up his residence in a surprised and disconcerted imperial palace. JENNA is returned by COMMODORE TRASKA to the planet Christos where she is welcomed by the planets rulers and her family, some of whom were aware of some of what was happening.
