《TRX's Adventures》Vol. 4 Day 3: Sea and Land
Advertisement
Blocky was maintaining the ice platform she had created so they could all rest there. After what had happened, they really deserved a long rest.
- I want to go home... - said Roundy, who was about to cry.
Blocky went to try to comfort him. As she did so, TRX began to think: "After defeating those two, this world began to take more shape. Now we can see the stars and now there's enough light to see better... But the order in which those things appear reminds me of something, but I don't know what it is."
While TRX was meditatively gazing up at the firmament, Pointy kept watch for any other strange creatures approaching them.
After comforting Roundy, Blocky approached TRX and asked:
- What are you doing?
- Nothing interesting... Just...
- Enemies!
Out of nowhere, another strange creature that seemed to be a plant began to emerge from the depths of the abyss... Well, it emerged from the depths.
That strange plant had many tentacles or vines, 8 insect-like legs on each side, several mouths with sharp teeth and it had a giant flower with pink petals on top, and these... They had human faces that seemed to move. Oh, and it seemed to be five meters tall.
- Another monster? No way... - said Blocky out of nowhere.
- Shall we use super-strike again? It looks like it's going to do a lot of damage. - said TRX.
- Let's do it. - replied Blocky, who had already started to create the ice weapons.
The monster plant let out a high-pitched terrifying scream, which broke the ice the group was in. Everyone but Pointy fell back into the water. Instantly, Blocky created an ice platform again.
And yes, TRX and the others did not use complex tactics to defeat their enemies, they just attacked them waiting for something to happen.

As Blocky created another platform, the flower of the monster plant began to spin strangely.
- Watch out!
Pointy was the only thing he managed to say when he saw some kind of pink gas coming out of the flower. Everyone saw it and quickly dived, except for Pointy who flew higher to wait for it to dissipate.
That pink gas was poisonous. The quick reaction of TRX and the others saved them.
After seeing that, TRX and the others realized they couldn't attack it up close, so they decided to have Roundy use his telekinesis so they could attack it with ranged weapons that Blocky was going to create.
Blocky began to create ice spears and Roundy began to throw them. The creature was unfazed by these attacks.
- What now? - Roundy asked, frightened.
- I don't know. - Blocky replied.
- What if we pool all our energy and release it as a beam of light to hurt it? - suggested Pointy.
- But that's very difficult to do, we have to be well coordinated and think of exactly the same thing, and we only succeeded twice. - answered TRX. - Besides, I always faint because of fatigue...
- That doesn't matter, we have to do it again to defeat it! - shouted Blocky.
The group moved away from that monster. It was a considerable distance, about two hundred meters. They swam about twenty meters until Blocky froze the water.
The monster was getting closer to them, but it was very slow, so the group took the opportunity to try to use that strange ability.
The four of them made a circle and began to concentrate. None of them knew the origin of their powers, but they didn't care about it either, they just knew that they were very useful in different situations... And the situation they were in right now, as strange as it was, was one of life and death.

Almost instantly, lightning struck the monster. That caused it very serious damage, but even so it continued to chase the group... While it regenerated from within. It regenerated at such an impressive speed that it frightened everyone except TRX, who had passed out again.
Roundy charged TRX with his powers and they continued to run away from the creature. Blocky was already very tired of using her powers, but she couldn't stop, for if she did they were going to be slaughtered by the monster.
After five minutes, TRX woke up. They began to plan another strategy, while fleeing, in order to defeat it. From far away, Pointy tried to see if it had any weak point (the same as he did with the first monster), but he didn't find any.
It was strange, very strange. They didn't know what to do at that moment. Should they keep using the same combined attack until it was so damaged that it could no longer regenerate? That was the only thing they should do, but they could not do it since it consumed too much energy from the user.
At that moment Pointy realized something... He had forgotten a small detail about the monster: it regenerated from the inside. From the inside. FROM INSIDE.
- Hey, I realized something. - Pointy said to the group as they were fleeing.
- What's that? - the others replied.
- That monster... Its regeneration starts from the inside. - said Pointy.
- I mean... You mean it has a core that we can destroy to defeat it, don't you? - answered TRX.
- Then... You have to make an opening for someone to enter through to destroy that core, don't you? - said Roundy.
- Exactly, but that would be only if it has some kind of core, if it doesn't... - said Pointy.
- We have to try, I'll be the one to go in, because if we use our power, TRX will faint. - said Blocky, and added. - Besides, if the tissues are too hard I'll turn them into ice, break them and use a long spear to pierce it.
- Well, let's do it then. - said TRX.
And so they did. Everything happened more or less as they planned. The monster tried to attack the "parasite" with its tentacles, but it could not. It also expelled its purple gas, but it didn't harm Blocky, who was making her way through the guts of this creature. Finally, she reached something resembling a heart, which was made of a pink-colored stone, it glowed. Blocky then created an ice spear and attacked it, breaking it.
Blocky, from inside, watched as the creature began to disintegrate into purple smoke.
They had defeated the monster.
While the group was trying to recover after the fight, something completely unexpected happened.
TRX and the others were on an ice platform, they were staring into the void for a while until they realized that the ice was on land. The sea level had dropped rapidly.
The group was surprised by this, and they were more surprised when various plants began to sprout from the dry land they were on.
They could not get a good look at the plants, as it was too dark... But they were sure of one thing, they had just witnessed an unparalleled event.

Extermination Order
So it turns out that anime got something right: If you get hit by a truck, you're going to another world. Dennis became subject to that unknown quirk of reality when crossing a busy city street (despite having looked both ways). But that was quite some years ago. He's been around this new world 'Nassur' a time or two and knows how to live a good life. He also knows that adventuring friggin sucks. So, what is a man to do in a fantasy world with a shoddy leveling system that constantly suggests getting more XP, and a condition set by the gods that you must make the world a better place? Pest extermination. But reality is often fickle. Perhaps one day it is only rats, another, mechanical centipedes with lasers. Maybe the Dark Lord needs a shoulder to cry on because his dungeon simply can't be ready in time for the adventurers he likes to do battle against. Another poor soul from Earth could appear just as dazed and confused as the day you'd first arrived, requiring a good long talk about 'hey, what the hell is this, man'. And maybe... just maybe, that thick book of owed favors comes back to haunt you. For a man who desires a peaceful, productive life, Dennis can find it rather difficult for a week to go by where something doesn't go awry.
