《Tribe of fang》Chapter 6: A New Beast
Advertisement
After laying next to the water for a while and trying to catch my breath. I could feel the pain shooting through my ribs as I rolled over pushing myself up from the floor, my legs shaking below me. I felt a lot heavier than before.
Shaking off some of the water I got a bit lighter but I still took my movements pretty slow. Slowly making my way to the tentacle that was sitting on the bank of the water.
Laying down next to the tentacle I started taking small bites i never really liked seafood. But gotta do what I gotta do. Biting down on a larger piece of the tentacle I quickly swallowed the meat.
Gross bleh.
Spitting a few times into the water. That tasted so…
*Ping
New Skill: [Water bullet lvl:1] Minor healing of wounds
A Green circle suddenly drew on the floor. Soon after letters and symbols I've never seen before were being written inside the circle. After it finished a blinding green light beamed from the circle completely surrounded me.
Almost instantly after it disappeared. Standing up suddenly and taking a few steps back there was nothing…
Wait. The sharp pain from before is gone. it's more like a dull throbbing now…
I think people call it a magic circle... I've never seen one before well besides in games or anime in my past life. all have to look into it more later.
Looking at the sky it was pretty late in an hour or so it should be getting dark. I better start heading back. Looking over at the water only a small portion of the tentacle was laying out of the water.
I never did see how big you were did I…
Talking a few steps into the water I bit down on a larger piece of the tentacle digging my teeth in and I started pulling towards the water's edge. I pulled for what felt like half an hour but i could only pull up one of the tentacles the rest of the body must have gotten ripped off or something.

I started walking back home dragging the large tentacle behind me. It was pretty annoying dragging it through all the trees and such but I got home before night fall nonetheless.
Walking inside the cave I was greeted by Dawn who seemed pretty sleepy at the time she didn't even notice the large tentacle I was dragging behind me. I quickly put it with the rest of the stored food in the cave. There wasn't much, just a few scraps for the day before.
Now that I think about it how many days has it been since I got here?
Man, I really lost count. Maybe a month? No that doesn't sound right… hmm i guess it doesn't really matter.
After a few minutes of talking with Dawn. Winter and Dusk came out from the back of the cave and lit a small fire at the front of the den. All of us spent that night by the fire.
…
..
.
Days flew by and before I knew it I was almost the size of a adult wolf. My growth seems pretty abnormal for a wolf. I couldn't be any older than 2 month old maybe 3 for what I guess.
Since I killed that water monster everything in the forest has been progressing very slowly. There doesn't seem to be any new monsters. Only the ones I've already hunted.
That said, I really haven't gained any new skills ethier.
“Fang!”
Dawns shout encoded through the cave. Walking out from inside the cave Dawn was sitting with Winter and Dusk her tail beating the bushes around it.
“Hurry up, hurry up!”
Standing up she quickly paced in a circle. Winter Biting at the back of her neck.
“Calm down.” Winter's voice was calm but cold.
Dawn quickly sat down, her ears pushed back and looked back over at Winter with a pout.

“It's fine mom let her get excited. It's her first hunt and all.” Walking outside then Den and sitting next to them.
Dawn has been so excited to go for the past week. She was practically bouncing off the den walls. She normally has to sit inside the cave with whoever isn't hunting. I bet it gets pretty boring.
After Winter and Dusk finished giving her the talk she went off into the woods. After a few minutes I followed a bit behind her to making sure that she didn't notice me.
Winter, Dusk and I decided the night before that I would be following her while she's hunting to keep her safe. I really only need to show up if she runs into trouble but with the animals around here i think she should be fine as long as she stays away from the water.
It's pretty far from the den so i don't think she'll go over there anyway. After a couple of minutes I caught up with her. She got pretty far into the forest for her first time.
I stayed a good 40 feet back hiding in the tree line and bushes to make sure i'm out of her sight. Lucky there's no wind today or she might have caught my sent.
After following her for a couple of minutes she finally found a pair of tracks. Staying back after she followed the tracks and I quickly ran over to take a peek at the tracks. There was nothing unusual about the tracks, just a lone boar print, Heading off to the left of the den.
Hopefully she can handle it herself.
I quickly started following the tracks for how old Dawn was. She was pretty fast.
Within a few minutes I caught up with her. Hiding in the brush and keeping my distance tailing behind her.
Within a few minutes she slowly started to slow down. Hiding behind one of the trees she started to look around.
*Oink!
A loud squeal erupted from the tree line. The smell of iron filled the air. But something was wrong. I could clearly see Dawn hiding behind some trees. So if she didn't do it what did...
Trying to stay out of Dawn sight I quickly moved through the first towards the noise. I quickly found myself at the edge of a small clearing. Wanting to stay hidden I ducked into the bushes in the tree line and started walking the perimeter of the field.
After a minute or two of walking I came across a large blood stain in the grass. It looked more like a one sided murder then a fight… looking closer at the ground there were small gashes dug out from the earth.
They were very clean as if someone cut right through with some sort of blade. Walking a few feet from the blood stained grass there were three sets of tracks each a bit strange…
Each of the steps is staggered as if they were injured. Their steps were very short but left only small imprints on the ground.
They'll disappear soon leaving no trace...
The most exciting thing about it though… They walk on two legs that means it's not just monsters around here.

Minglings
Without any previous indication, all the televisions, smartphones, and radios start broadcasting a message recorded by the government leaders of the world. In it, they explain a horrible tragedy that is about to befall us. Our earth will blend with what is considered to be the primary dimension after having been apart for an unknown amount of time. The merger will not only affect the world, but also the beings on it, and humanity must mingle with other species or die out. Everybody will need to determine the other-dimensional race to pick. The world leaders have known of this for many years and have tried preparing people by creating popular fiction, games, and movies. These are nothing more than tutorials of what is about to happen.
8 86Windwalker
Having subdued its surrounding enemies, the former Sulic Empire is faced with unrest brewing from within. Society is torn in two. The reigning mentalists constantly persecute the subjugated elementals under the pretence of curbing the explosive potential of their destructive powers. Meanwhile, schemes and political interests clash as different groups within the Governance military elite vie for control. And in the shadows, Sulic’s old enemies have been lying in wait a long time, looking for the first sign of weakness to make their move. Against this backdrop, two ordinary individuals fight to maintain stability from opposing sides: a low ranking telepathic recruit with nothing to his name but good intentions, and an unregistered elemental contractor with a murky past. Can they reconcile their differences and help steer Sulic away from tearing itself apart? Windwalker explores themes of societal struggle and self-discovery. Book One: Rising Wind Kal has trained to be a soldier his entire life. His days are simple, and his duties clear: enforce the rules, upkeep the peace, and most important — police the elementals. If they step out of line, the Governance system corrects it. But when Kal encounters a young boy whom he suspects might be an illegal earthborn, he can’t bring himself to report him. Despite his training and the advice of friends, he decides to help him onto what he believes is the right path. This choice lands him in more trouble than he bargained for, and he soon discovers that the veneer the Governance is built upon an ugly and crumbling foundation.

8 271Don't Come Inside, Okay?
Lars Cromwell just got dumped by his girlfriend of 3 months, apparently because she found someone better. Although the normal man would have been bummed out by this, Lars didn't particularly mind. Because Lars just won the lottery, which meant he was about a billion dollars richer now. And he had one less person to share it with! Even if he was single, at least he was filthy stinking rich! In any case, this is Lars' story. A story that begins just like how many others do. With his death. Join Lars as he reincarnates into another world as his Avatar together with his favorite game's Dungeon and it's NPCs! = This Work is on an indefinite Hiatus. I do not know when I'll get back to this, but I plan to rewrite a bunch of stuff when I do. If you liked this, keep following it so that I can inform you of when I improve this! = Hello, I'm Lire, and this is my 2nd fiction. I recently got into the whole dungeon thing, and thought that I wanted to write one of my own! Chapter Length: 2000+ Words. It can only be more, never less. Chapter Release Schedule: Whenever I can write. I am juggling this with my main Fiction, so yeah... Disclaimer: - Don't expect much statistical growth from the MC. Although I plan for him to refine his techniques and increase his repertoire. - You can guess from the name, but there will not be too much action in the dungeon itself. Plus, the dungeon has been fully built, so not too many things will be added either. The whole idea is to kill potential intruders before they enter the Dungeon. - This will be more like a Kingdom building story, than a Dungeon Building one. MC will try to dominate his surroundings so that he can keep his Dungeon safe. - There will be Slice of life elements, since realistically speaking, events aren't supposed to happen all the time. - This work is inspired, to a certain extent, by Murayama-sama's Overlord Light novel. Minus the 'emotionless' undead MC, and the premise of misunderstandings. The NPCs will also be aware that they were characters in a game, that came to life for some reason, so no need for MC to role-play to pull the wool over the eyes of his own allies. Also, unlike Overlord, there is a chance for the cast of characters to increase through a built-in gacha system(This is not a spoiler, this will literally be explained in the first few chapters.), except that the rates are absolutely abysmal, so it won't happen frequently. Maybe I'll use a poll to decide the next ally? We'll see.
8 124The Rektoning: DeadHeads revolt
Not all births are a gift from God, some are in fact gruesome, bloody, and involve a lot of pain and trauma. This goes doubly so if you're a not quite zombie, not quite human undead man baby called DeadHead. Stuck dealing with gods who think of humans as playthings, Demons that won't shut the hell up, and a curse that thinks it owns his body. Witness the ugly and cruel conception of a new type of hero. Spoiler he doesn't survive the birth...
8 121Jinsei no Hogo
A 14 year old boy fed up with life decides to end his very own, only to be met with an abstract form of what one may call "God." It is now his duty to protect the lives he disregarded.
