《Grand Defender》Chapter 2
Advertisement
As I ran from the rapidly approaching snake, I noticed a boulder.
I knew it would probably be useless to climb a tree since snakes can climb trees too, but this boulder looked smooth.
I leapt onto the boulder, where I was probably safe from the critter’s fangs.
The snake was faster than me, so running away wasn’t an option, I had to fight it.
I tried to move a nearby, smaller, boulder with [Geomancy] but it wouldn’t budge.
Thinking about it, I just don’t know how to use it.
A piece of the boulder where I stood looked cracked, so I gave it a good whack to loosen it up, the piece of stone came off pretty easily. I grabbed it and noticed that it had a 45° angle that was probably sharp enough to cut something like flesh. Probably.
The hissing snake glared at me as I jumped down from my safe spot, only to be greeted by a face stomp that pinned it down and a deep cut to its neck. I couldn’t sever the head from the body in just one hit, so I gave it another one.
Congratulations! You have earned 1 level in both [Geologist] and [Mason].

“Stats”, I said, thinking this would probably make my stat screen appear.

And it did!
This “System” seems to give me +5 to every stat with each level that I gain, and bonus stat points given by perks are between parenthesis.

These stat gains don’t seem to do much right now, but I’m sure it’ll stack up in the future.
The snake’s corpse laid lifeless on the ground, it was easily 5 meters long, and was starting to look delicious after all that running.
Can you eat snakes raw? Nah, I bet they have parasites.
I have to find a way to cook it.
I looked up into the sky and noticed the sun was almost reaching midday, that meant that I still had a lot of time to make a campfire or something. I climbed the boulder to gain a vantage point, and started looking around.
I saw some dry, and probably dead, trees in the distance, which I immediately started to approach.
Some of their branches had fallen off, so that saved me some time.
I got back to where the boulders were, branches in each hand.
It was time to make a campfire for the first time!
My hands hurt, my arms burn and my snake was burnt.
I woke up to the smell of a weird burnt meat, my palms were covered in dried blood and my arms felt like they were going to fall off.
I fell asleep!?
From exhaustion, I had collapsed next to my campfire after numerous attempts of creating one, although I did put the snake to roast before I collapsed. But that was for nothing, because my previously yellow snake was now pitch black.
I looked up into the sky, it was orange with glimpses of pink and blue, the sun nowhere to be seen. I grabbed my burnt snake and climbed the boulder yet again, this would be my bed for tonight.
But first, I’ll try to eat my piece of charcoal.
…
You have earned a Personal Perk!

The Dungeon Calls for a Sage
Archimedes was the ego behind one of the most powerful dungeons ever created. He grew and developed his halls, filling them with powerful monsters and beasts, over the course of thousands of years. He was a grand structure of ten thousand floors which even heroes had failed to defeat. However, an Evil God had come from another world, calling himself the Demon King, and a party of heroes were sent to do battle with it. Through their victory, they obtained enough strength to breeze through Archimedes' dungeon like it was nothing. Forseeing the end of his life, and realizing how pointless his pursuit of power had been, Archimedes destroyed himself, taking the heroes down with him. Still, Archimedes felt despair that he had lived a worthless life as something as pitiful and futile as a dungeon. Sensing his regret and potential, the voice of the world presented Archimedes with the chance to start anew and live a more meaningful life. Thrilled and hopeful for the first time in eons, Archimedes accepted the offer, only to be reborn again as a dungeon core with not a single room or monster to his name. Just what was the meaning of this?! Archimedes couldn't figure out what the voice of the world was thinking. Somehow, he would have to draw a sage into his dungeon to figure it out for him. _______________________ DCS is now a member of the WriTEr's Pledge, which means I have sworn to see it through to a satisfying end.
