《The Bartender at the End of the Universe》Ch 111: The Rendezvous

Nugget looked up at the orb. Several of the tendril's that reached out from it were severed and flailed around as they sprayed thin bursts of black ink. Sparks flew from the strange object now and again as it let out a quiet buzzing sound.
She ruffled her feathers and finished preening herself before she turned towards the door to the room. With gravity mirroring the building's orientation, it was much easier for her to simply walk out the door.
Once she was out in the hallway, Nugget closed her eyes and lifted her beak up into the air. She stood completely still for almost an entire minute. Her chest barely moved as she slowed her breathing down.
While her eyes were still closed, she casually stepped to the side as a metal claw scraped against the ground where she had just been standing.
Nugget? Nugget!
The one-eyed creature was crouched on the ground with it's claw still embedded in the floor. It started down the chicken, while she kept her eyes shut. However, she did lower her beak down and aimed it directly towards her one-eyed opponent.
Hey Nugget! It's me! I'm here too, in this cage. Death shouted. You may not have recognized me because of the lack of a body. But, it's definitely me.
Nugget didn't move an inch. She continued to barely move, even from her breathing. Opposing her, the one eye appraised her cautiously. Both of them seemed to be waiting for the other to make a move.
Oh cool, are you guys done fighting? Nice. Anyway Nugget, we're here to stop some kind of explosion thing. Death stated, oblivious that the fight had already started.
"Ba-kaw." Nugget cooed softly.
As soon as she spoke, the one-eyed creature jumped towards her. Its claws were open and ready to strike. Again, as it was about to tear through Nugget's soft flesh, she stepped to the side and completely avoided the strike.

And again, the two of them turned to face each other. Then, Nugget slowly opened her eyes. Her two small orbs stared back into the large one set in it's hood.
Seriously, if I could vomit, I would have plastered you so much. Death commented. You're just tossing me around all haphazardly.
The hallway was silent as they both waited again. Death shifted his skull left, and then right as he tried to get a look around.
Uh, wait...Nugget, what did you say?
Nugget tilted her head to the side. "Bawk? Ba-kaw."
Oh right. Death nodded. I can't understand a thing you say.

Rise of an Undead in a Fantasy World
Have you ever wondered what would happen if an undead being that doesn't know what it is like to be alive got free will? What would that undead creature do? How would they think? How would they view the world around them? Would they see life as futile and conquer the world, making it a lifeless danger zone to all living beings? Well, none of that matters, because that's not happening. Our main character is your average gamer from the modern world, yada yada yada... gets transported to a fantasy world through obscure means, blah blah blah... you know how this works. What separates him from the masses, however, are his views on ethics, and world politics. ... Oh, and the fact that he doesn't need to breathe. Message From Author! Accept?: Yes No This is only my second novel, so keep that in mind. I will try to keep the quality of the story to an acceptable level. This means something that I, myself would read. The quantity, however, may put some people off. Adding onto the whole "villainous lead" thing, I will make sure to have the character develop into that perfect little villain over time, instead of starting him out as a bloodthirsty murder-hobo. Of course, there will still be a lot of murdering and he may be a hobo for some of it, but it will mostly not be out of malice in the very early chapters. Last but not least, I have decided there will not be a defined release schedule for this, as I have lost interest in forcing myself to upload x amount of times a week. I will upload whenever I get a good idea, and take my time. That is, if I even feel like writing in the first place. Instead of taking breaks from this novel to do my own thing, I will take breaks from my daily life to post on here. Also, I'm lazy. Thanks for reading, and if you're alright with everything above, feel free to give it a read, and without further ado, have a good one! - Your Author P.S.: I will have little to no romance in the story, as I can't bring myself to writing it, so you don't have to worry about harems.

Talius
The two moons of Talius gleam with a hypnotic glow; Araius with the color of a cooling blue, and Kranos beaming in a gentle orange. Arairus obscures Kranos with his enormous celestial body, letting Kranos peek out only halfway. This means that it's the month of Gantelos, the season of cold that hovers over Talius for half a year. It also notifies the residence of this planet that the dreadful Fuune will rise from the deep snow, deep from beneath the crust every night and feast on the humans who inhabit this tundra-infested world.
