《Retsuken Word》Chapter 9. "Tom Summer versus horde!"
Advertisement
"Mega Crocodile versus Tom Summer prepare to fight!" A deep voice said.
Everything went black for a few seconds, the water pressure no longer restricted me, but I had fallen into a very slimy bed, which looked yellow, because of that light, I looked to the sides and saw big teeth.
"Shit I'm into a mouth!" I said. I knew that the slimy bed was a tongue, I wanted to move my head to look for an exit, but again I could not move, then the mouth opened slightly, water entered the mouth and simultaneously the tongue moved pushing me made to the teeth.
The movement of the monster that had me trapped, teeth suddenly stopped and again I could move, I came to the conclusion that due to the end of the world, we were immersed in a orderly turn or shift system, where at the moment that I can move, the enemy cannot and vice versa.
I took my turn and nail my claws against the tongue. With what I saw that I could not do another action and the creature's turn started, she o he shook his head strongly to free herself from my attack, which I assumed was the equivalent of an ant sting, the shaking was strong, achieving with that movement, thata I detach from his tongue.
I was in an impossible situation that if it weren't for this shift system, I wouldn't have a chance, since in a matter of seconds, this monster would have me chewed and swallowed.
I had fallen between the teeth, a position in which if the monster closed its mouth,I be crushed, luckily I saw the uvula, taking advantage of my turn, I jumped towards it, reaching out and hugging it, with this my turn passed and the creature began to chew.
Luckily for me the creature had no eyes in its mouth, because then, it would know that my intentions were to make him vomit.

"10, 9, 8, 7, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0.! Ding, you have successfully copied the race: Magic Razanandrongobe!" The Omnivaiz told me.
"What!" I shout. Out of nowhere a countdown sounded, and I heard this, puzzled, wondering how this change would affect me, but at that moment the monster began to spin, as if it were a blender, I stumbled all over the place, but even so I was still tightly hugging the uvula, then something began to smell very bad, I saw that a pasty and bubbly, yellowish liquid came, rising from the throat. Then my turn came.
As if putting the cherry on the cake, ironically, the uvula began to give off a delicious smell of fresh meat, so I bit it, and then devoured it all, tasting the delicious taste of bloody meat. A truly reckless action becauseI fell on his throat, but I was sure that this will make this damn monster will have to vomited me. And avoid just trying to swallow me with the viscous liquid that was rising into his throat.
The monster in its turn, vomited me so hard, that it seemed that it was spitting me, out of its mouth, so strong that I left the pool at high speed.
"You have entered the Minerva University Dungeon!" I heard a voice that came from all over the University.
"Aaaaah aaaaah!” I couldn't help screaming the liquids that came out of the monster throat, it was highly acidic, I felt that I could smell my burned flesh in that stinky liquid. In my vision the Hp bar was divided into 4 parts, which said:
"10% skin, 14% muscle, 14% organs, 50% metal skeleton" It seemed like these organs were separate entities, with their life points apart. Imagine that even though my race had changed, I was still somehow a killing machine. Which means that my skin, muscle, organs were equal to 50% of my life points.

“Crack!” I suddenly collided with the window.
If someone had seen me come out of the water, they would have witnessed the flight of a half naked blue boy wrapped in a viscous liquid, while he was smoking, while his skeleton was not made of calcium, rather of metal.
The force was such that I went through the window and fell out.
"Tom Summer has left the building! Oh! And the battlefield!" Said the hoarse voice of the person who announce my battle, who in the future would be known as The Commentator.
…
"Aaaaaah!" I was still screaming, but this time it was because of the cuts I received from being cut by the glass. The Hp bars said:
"7% skin, 10% muscle, 13% organs, 50% skeleton." I think the reason I could think so clearly was that my body is 50% machine and pain sensors are likely to turn off after a certain amount of pain, or this is just to record the damage. Since when a human being is not capable of feeling pain, he is not capable of registering danger.
With only 7% of my skin healthy I assumed that the only thing that survived from my clothes was the area between my legs or to be very exact my boxer.
“Crack, Bam, wii u wii u wii u..!" The place where I crashed sounded, while an alarm started to sound. What I am most glad about, was that the yellow light was no longer around me.
My health bar was flashing yellow and it said:
"7% skin, 9% muscle, 10% organs, 47% skeleton." This time there was minimal damage to my skeleton. Along with this in numbers said:
“76 pts!” I got up, with difficulty since everything hurt, I was also bloody, but my blood was green.
"You got out without defeating the head of the University, prepare to receive your punishment!" A voice from the University said. Which was confusing because I didn't know what the hell he was talking about and I wasn't really sure who or what was talking to me.
I looked around me, and I saw horde of zombies, more or less 20 individuals, hearing the noise of the glass, they began to go to the broken window.
However, not all of them went there, a small horde of zombie, went to where I landed, which was a small red convertible car.
With my fall the lid of the engine and the trunk opened, where I saw a huge yellow tube, which I assume the owner used to remove the tires.
Although it was no longer going to be necessary, that I would worry too much about this horde, since the tires went flying like missiles, in various directions, displacing and tearing up the zombies, as they passed. Luckily for me.
“Ding ding !, you have acquired 50 pts of experience, for carrying out several involuntary murders!" Said the Omnivaiz. Although I wonder why he said murders instead of killing them, as if they were people and not bugs or monsters.
"Ding, you have gone up 1 level!” Said my Omnivaiz. Then I saw in the corner of my vision I see:
“..
Hp: 196/196 pts.
Metal skeleton: 40%.
Skin: 16%.
Muscles: 19%.
Organs: 25%.
Mp: 50/196 pts.
..”
The first thing I thought was that there was an error in my current state because it is assumed that the mechanical skeleton represented 50% of my body.
Suddenly, in a matter of seconds, my height and my body began to increase in size. I felt like a giant.
The yellow light illuminated the area I was in, while heavy rock music once again, began to play, and the commentator said:
"Tom Summer versus horde!"

Contact Through Voided Lenses
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Edit: Fixed some inaccuracies in the synopsis. The void is a vast unexplored ocean filled with various wonders and dangers all waiting to be explored by those brave enough to travel and record. Many souls do find themselves brave enough to face the vast distances, the various risks to personal safety and do the hundreds of task required on a craft. However, at times the void itself can be boring with absolutely nothing to do but as time pass and more and better technology is reached, things got better. The various trips got faster, communications became faster than light and you can be home to see your loved ones after only months now. Through the various planets whether rocky or gaseous, the various stars whether small or giant, the various systems both eerily similar or completely alien. As part of an expeditionary scientific exploratory survey craft, one could see that the void offers no reprieve from all the discoveries and wonders. At times, it can feel empty and silent where no soul can hear you scream and at others it can be overwhelming with sudden phenomenon that can overwhelm the brightest of minds. The void itself is a truly fascinating ocean where one must chart the various islands or drown in its deadly tidal waves. But the question still remained no matter how you try to hide it in of itself… is there truly other intelligent life out there? Are we alone in this ocean? Those very questions still haunt the minds of those on the crafts themselves as they brace for every jump ready for the unknown and the known. Many would try to explain that yes there is other intelligent life out there whilst other still say no after 2 centuries of continuous flight out of the home system. Still, those are questions that bury deep in the minds of the crew and those at home as the voidcraft jumps to a system with a single yellow star orbited by 8 other planets with one crowning blue jewel being the 3rd closest with its 5 oceans and 7 continents, a planet called Dirt which is inhabited by a primitive species called Humanity. Hello, author here and this is my newest dive into writing particularly for the Writathon currently in progress being my first one. I hope you give me story a try but in case you still want more information on what you’re getting into, below are some pointers about the story itself. First Contact: CTVL is a story about a first contact scenario between an advanced alien civilization and a slightly more advanced modern day humanity on their planet called Dirt. Characters: The story will take place mainly on the perspective of the alien visitors themselves though there will be human POV characters who will show how the rest of humanity react through media and forums. Action: It won’t be an actual alien invasion but you have to see for yourself how well first contact went. Sci-Fi: I will be very forward here, I WILL bend the rules of physics in order to add in parts of the plot and there WILL be parts that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Theme: It will be a brooding story talking about the futility of pe… Just kidding, it’s mostly wholesome stuff to be honest here. Alien: The aliens themselves will… actually why should I tell you, you have to go and read it to find out what the aliens are though I will draw a few things here and there to aid in the process. Extra tidbit: If you are a grammar nazi or someone who really wants a realistic scifi story... this story is probably not for you at all. Anyways, that’s pretty much all I can say before I spoil something major of the plot itself, the story is slice of life so make sure that type of story is what you like because I am terrible with anything else as I found out, anyways, have a good time everyone and good luck to the other Writathon participants.
