《Gary the Mimic》Ch.7 moving
Advertisement
Taking a moment to stretch I begin experimenting with my new body part. I'm able to make claws. I can also make legs and paws but they aren't as useful. The claws though I can Improve my legs and use them as a cooking tool and as a weapon. I can actually make better meals and make things bite size. The sheep and goats are now on the table. Sadly I can't eat more skittish small animals due to the skill evolution.
I stare at the skill mind magic.
"How do I activate you!"
Wanting to learn, I start to think about the process again, even the pain I felt when I first used it. Yet still nothing happens. Why wont it wont! Ahhh I'll just deal with it later.
I start heading towards the water but I find someone in my hunting spot. They seem to be looking for something. I move away slowly not wanting to get spotted. Once he's out of sight I book it to the nearest tunnel. If one person is here then more will appear and if they find me I might as well be dead. I wish I could have stayed here longer though.
Pov change : Grale
So far there's only been a sighting from the adventurers and that was a few weeks ago. The dungeon is expanding more and more. On top of that I'm being told I'm working too slow and the worst part of all the news is the dungeon will become public soon.
"What is the king thinking this could put the kingdom at risk!"
I grab the paper that told me his plans and march towards the throne room. I slammed the door open and met eyes with the young king.
"Sire what is the meaning of this!"

I hold up the paper but he just stares blankly at it.
"You were taking too long and the resources of the kingdom are dwindling."
A lie really, the dungeons are easily making enough. I take a moment to calm down knowing brute force won't work.
"With all due respect letting the dungeon open without knowing the core monster could harm the dungeon. Not only this but with the mana level it's giving us, it could catch the eye of other kingdoms."
"I'll give you a month but if it's not done by then the dungeon will become open. I also expect you to prepare the dungeon to open at that time."
Knowing this is the best I can get, I head back to the endless paperwork and start to make plans for the tax on dungeon use. I also get ready to leave and judge the dungeon myself.
Pov change : Gary
After what felt like ages of walking I found a forest that was still in the cave.
"Finally I can find some food now."
I flop down happy and I relax a little. A Thought crosses my mind as I relax. It won't take long for them to get here. I stand up not wanting to see what happens if I get caught. That pressure I felt was horrible. I start to look for water, a good hunting spot. Well walking I try to use magic. I think deeper about why I felt the pain when I used trance. A very basic thought comes to mind. Trance is a way of being open to what others say. Well thinking this I feel a small string start to come out that I can't see.
"Did it work?"
"Unknown."
I look for the closest monster. I spot a slime and make the string move. It's connected!... dark thoughts flooding my mind I start to play with it. I tell the slime there's food to its left and bounces left then I say it's to the right and bounces. I quickly snap out of it telling myself not to play with food and I'm short on time. Just as I stop a window pops up.

[Title awarded : (promising mage) : the user has talent in magic and will continue to grow : (+1 int and spirit)]
A new title with a flat stat gane… nah I like my luck. The fact that it helped me with that wolf is the major selling point. Now back to my goals: find and taste new food and get stronger so they stop hunting me. I continue looking for water now in a good mood.
Well wandering around I found a sheep and followed it to a clearing with a stream. There were a few bigger monsters like bears and big crocodiles. Soon enough I found my first target, a wolf and its alone. I didn't get to try it out fully because I was in a rush. I sneak up using trance and get a clean hit in. I began to drag it towards the forest so others won't try and steal my food or attack me. Once I got into a more hidden spot in the forest I made the meal bite size. It has a bitter taste that doesn't taste good.
"*sigh*Thanks for the meal."

< improved hearing : (lv : 4) (rank : 3) (evo : 2) : the user can hear thing from farther away (requires ears)]
Well good thing I just got a pair of ears. I quickly summon them. It takes 10 mp, which sounds like a decent cost for the last scene.
Instantly I get deafened by noises making me try and cover them. Unactivating my ears I began to recover from the newly forming headache by taking a nap.

The Hand That Guides
The rust colored lands of Osnein are rich with artifacts and old-world technologies highly valued by the various empires and kingdoms inhabiting this distant world. Though many individuals make a living off what they can scavenge from ruins above ground, the true wealth lies beneath them in a iron labrynth known to all as 'The Network'. Whether it is in the pursuit of knowledge, artifacts of power or immeasurable wealth they all risk their lives in an effort to create a better future for themselves. However, entrances to The Network are far and few and rarely explored as metallic entities known as the Jötnar, guard its very depths. In order to defend themselves against such threats, humanity employs the use of Seidr, also known as sorcery. It is the foundation in which gives power to the incantations invoked from the realms beyond the veil... and through the blessing of 'Ljoss' bestowed upon humanity by the Goddess Oracle, the time may yet come for humanity to claim The Network for themselves... Yet wandering this vast region, with no place to call home, exists a curious individual by the name of Grit. Incapable of Seidr, he possesses a lineage mostly forgotten that he seeks to better understand. The fate that awaits him is likely one he never imagined for himself as he journeys to unravel the secrets of this world. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Disclaimer: This story may contain gore and use of profanity.

Our main character (a cat) adventures with his friends and encounters many situations.Author's Note:Hello. This is my first story. Though I hesitate to call it such. It is supposed to be relatively relaxed for the most part. Any constructive criticism is welcome. My updates will be slower than a snail and my chapters are relatively short so deal with it please and don't murder me. Romance should come in later. Thank you~
