《The Assassin Before Time》C3 Into the New Land
Advertisement
'Hey, system, can you open the map.'
{opening map}
'mmm.. so it looks like I will be soon entering another clearing lets hope this time there are easier to deal with dinosaurs there.
So I will have to move out of Sudan into South Sudan, then on D.R. Congo, and last into Angola, which is right next to the Atlantic Sea. From there, I will have to use the boat I will get as a reward to cross the Atlantic and then head into the mountains and hopefully meet the people who live in the town.
Well, now that I have the route all planned out, I think it would be best to get a move on. When I look around this dark forest, it gives me the chills, and I know that I have o move on fast or there could be some creature lurking here that I don't know anything about. So I start to sprint, and with my second wish, I don't need to breathe, so I can keep sprinting without getting tired.
When running through the forest, I see all manner of creature. Luckily with my silent run from assassins creed, I can run quietly without getting noticed. ' if I were to get caught, I don't think I would make it through the forest alive. The creatures I saw in there were terrifying. I don't know what archaeologists were doing their whole life. Still, they missed so many prehuman creatures I am starting to think they were keeping all of the dinosaurs from the public, which worries me considerably because if they missed or didn't talk about these kinds of things, what else is there out there that I don't know about.
After an hour or two of running, I see the light in the distance, just barely peeking through the curtain of the forest. As I get closer, it started to get bigger. I know that I am about to make the clearing shown on the map feature of the system. As I am about 50 yards away, I start to slow down, making a slower approach to make sure there isn't something terrible waiting on the other side of the last few trees.

To my great surprise; there are about 100 to 150 small dinosaurs in the area.
'hey system, what are those creatures?'
{Tyrannosaur: Dilong
Weight:25 pounds
Threat: D
Description: The king of the dinosaurs, Tyrannosaurus Rex, measured 40 feet from head to tail and weighed 7 or 8 tons—but its fellow tyrannosaur Dilong, tipped the scales at 25 pounds, an object lesson in how plus-sized creatures tend to evolve from wee ancestors. }
'Man, these things are for the slaughter, and since they are so weak, I might as well start to get some exp.
I pull out my kyoketsu-shoge and Katana, preparing myself to surprise attack from the cover of trees. Then an idea hit me, I started to walk back into the forest searching for some small prey.
I didn't want to go too deep into the forest so I wouldn't encounter some of the larger creatures. About 200 yards in, I found a large pigeon-like bird sitting on one of the branches. I snuck up on the bird using silent movement, making sure to stay in the shadows. The bird slowly started to open its wings, like it was about to take off. I quickly shot my Kyoketsu-shoge at it, hitting it right in the neck, letting it fall onto the ground.
I walked up to the bird, looking at it.
'what kind of bird is this system.'
{Ibermesornis
Weight: 2 pounds
Threat: F
Description: The Cretaceous period birds weren't any bigger than their modern counterparts, The Pigeon. However, this specific bird was bigger than most.}
{Gained 0 Exp, for killing an Ibermesornis}(A/N: It's weak, common on)
'Uh, Weird'
I pick up the bird taking it back to the edge of the forest. Looking at the dead bird. I looked up, seeing the Dilongs were marching along doing nothing. I gave the bird a weight test the hurled it into the center of the pile of dilongs. It turned into an all-out war zone, each dilong snaping at each other, not letting any of the others get to it while also trying to get to it first.
I snuck up on the closes one and dispatched it with a slice from the katana. Quickly moving to the next, I did the same. I was able to dispatch about half their number in this time, but eventually, one managed to finish the bird off. Surprisingly, they didn't kill each other in the process, but once they finished off the bird, they all looked at me standing, surrounded in half their brethren's blood. They quickly surrounded me. We stood there staring at each other I could see the notification of the kills I had.

{57 tyrannosauri: dilongs killed, 57 exp rewarded}
we were both waiting for the other to make a move. We waited. One took a step out into the ring, and immediately, I lashed out with my kyoketsu-shoge, striking it right into the neck. It feels over dead. The others looked at it then at me and charged. The fastest one reached me in no time at all. With its big head and eyes, it looked comical, but no the less with an efficient chop, I took its head off. The next one reached, and it got a stab in the heart. I swung around and put a dagger in the eye of the next. They were starting to surround me, so I focused on the right side, cutting, slashing, and stabbing my way through. Their number was down by three quarters. With around 30 left, I was in bad shape. With only 60 HP left, I dashed the forset. Once I entered the forest, the dilongs didn't seem to want to follow, so I climbed a tree and stood there looking at them move back and forth in front of the trees.
{You killed 29 tyrannosauri: dilongs. you are rewarded with 29 exp}
'system is it possible to convert gold into system coins}
{It is possible, but every five gold is worth 1 system point and could possibly change.}
'Is it possible to get an emo hammock from the store?'
{yes, there will be a penalty; the next item you buy will be tripled, and then so would the next purchase you make before level 10. They would stack}
'ok'
{what color}
'black'
{here are you choices:
Regular Hammock: 1p
Double Hammock:2p
2 six-foot Hammock ropes:2p
2 fourteen foot hammock ropes:4p}
'Get me the regular and the fourteen.'
{that will be 25g. Are you sure}
'yes'
{you received:
Regular Hammock
2 fourteen foot hammock ropes}
I strung them up between two trees look out toward the clearing watching the Dilong. They were eating there fallen, which was grossing me out to no end, but I guess they have to eat right.
As the sun started to go down, I still watched, and it didn't look like they were going to move on. As the sunset, the 29 remaining Dilongs went to sleep. I want to take advantage of their stupidness, took down the hammock, and stored it in the system crept down from the tree. Towards where they slept and killed them all in their sleep, and I started to run again, toward the route I had set during the forest.

The Discarded
The Umbrae Lunae existed before man, beautiful abominations birthed in the nightmares of mad gods. They wait for humanity to misstep, for the angels to look away. For the moment when they can cloak the world in moon shadows once again. But even horrors have children. Even nightmares must feed. One child, unlike the others, finds his way to a school for young abominations. Will he be a sheep cast before the wolves, or a terror that wears the skin of wool to entice the wolf close? The flesh of his body was his only coin, strips cut to pay debts that never ended. Everyone has scars, stories in a life led, lessons learned, and licks taken. Luminous bodies touched by darkness. There are a cursed few that are the opposite, black shadows consumed by scars, twisted minds devoured by diseased hungers, bodies tortured misshapen works of gouged flesh, silver lines of blade thin cuts, ragged tears of teeth and glass. For them, the scars are marks of homecoming, the mangled wasteland the only place they feel at peace. Hell is a place. It's made of concrete, steel and glass. It's the sounds of starving kids crying themselves to sleep, huddling into small balls as creepers come and take their due of innocence and tender meat. It's eating rotten food and carrying ticks in your hair. It’s having no one and nothing while surrounded by everything. It's the life of a street kid. What abomination was birthed in the corrupt womb of man’s cast-off shit? Pretty people don't know the power of ugly. They can't see the strength in a broken soul or the power in a calloused heart. Those secrets are for the discarded alone. Only the broken understand the grace of darkness. The blessed folds that hide scars and tears, the protection of its concealing umbra.
