Chapter 10 – The End
oOo
The dead forest was very vast, and monsters in here are very unnatural if I say so myself. I encountered a lot of monster, and because of my poison, they didn’t have much chance of winning. This gave me a lot of experience and it also made my skills stronger. Because I didn’t have the appraisal skill I don’t know what the names of the monster that I’ve encountered *like seriously when will I get the appraisal skill? Shhheessshh!! Making up names for this ugly ass monster is tiresome.*
First I encountered a pack of Demon Wolves, has a thin body with long legs, a red fur with lines coming from its snot to the tail. Black hollowed eyes, sharp claws and teeth, and three horns. There were a total of six of them, they’re fast, but they only manage to damage my rock armor. I cannot catch up with their speed, but I got them when I modified my armor to be much sharper and covered it with poison. It was just easy, I just let them attack me and let the poison do the killing.
Then I encountered the Draco Ground Snake, it was a lot bigger than the one I’ve eaten. When I look closely to it, it really looks similar to a dragon but has a snake body, its scales where made out of rough rocks, has large pair of fangs. It first tried to spit some poison on me, but it has no effect. *not even 1 point of damage -_-* But compared to the demonic wolves it was much faster, then it coils around me, and tries to crush me with brute force. I was deprived of my movements, so I used my [Toxic Mucus] reinforced with my poisons.
It did take a while, but then it slowly released me and even tried to run away. I impaled its body with rock spears; I didn’t expect that the paralysis will affect it. *but it somehow did, a little I guess* bones were starting to show out from its body as it’s rock armor was slowly falling one at a time, it no longer moves. So I start to devour it.
After I ate, I made a burrow using [Eragal Magic]. I hardened the walls and the cover so that it wouldn’t collapse on me, then I sleep for a bit.
oOo
*boom* *crrrkk* *boom* *ccrrrk*
I woke up because the ground was shaking and the loud noise hurts my lizard ears. I opened a hole on my burrow, and looked around. Nothing was there, not even my [Threat Sentient] was giving me alarm. *it must be far from here, but what could it be?*
Cannot bring myself back to sleep, I got up to the ground and looking at my burrow for a second, an idea came into my mind. I made the burrow much deeper and bigger. It’s maybe about 15 square meters *I think*, then I filled the bottom with spikes that were covered with poison, after that I covered it with a very thin sheet of hard soil.

I leave my trap, and continued to roam around. I always put the same trap if there was enough space to the ground; I think this will be a great way to catch some food. I wonder if I’ll get experience points from killing a monster indirectly.
After killing more rats, snakes and wolves, I found something interesting. It was a very old tomb, the door was made of rock, so I tried to open it, but it didn’t even budge. The whole place was covered with engraving that I can’t understand. I tried to open the door forcefully with my tale, but only a notification came out.
|You cannot open the door to the next level. You need to defeat first the boss of this floor.|
So I’m really inside a dungeon huh. If this is the entrance to the next floor, there should be a way up to the upper floor. I better find it, leaving the tomb behind, I also leave some small statue pointing to the direction of the tomb, and it would be helpful to find it again.
Continuing straight ahead, it was about 2 kilometer and I found the edge of the dungeon. Being so curious if I can destroy the stone wall, I hit it with my tail, but it didn’t even made a scratch. I tried hitting it another time, but a screen greeted me. But I cannot read it.
[WARNING! ! !]
*shit* not now, loud footsteps were coming closer and closer to me. I can also hear trees being smashed. I quickly run to the side, along side the dungeon walls.
*TUUUDDD*
I looked back and the monster hit the wall, smoke of dust was covering its appearance. But I can see 2 pair of bright red glowing eyes looking at me. I prepared 20 rock spears in front of me and spit on the tip with poison. The cloud of dirt was starting to clear up, but I quickly sent half of the spear to it.
When the cloud of smoke cleared up completely, the spear pierced it body, but it wasn’t deep enough. The monster was a very large bear, have four glowing red eyes, two large horns from the side of the head, a very dark fur. Its fur where like black needles, and then it randomly swings its arm at me. I quickly leaped far back using my tail.
A bunch of needles got pinned on the ground. I sent my remaining spears, but it just took it. I was sure that the poison should take care of it, but I was wrong. Its fur was so thick and hard, and it somehow had a characteristic to resist liquid, because I saw my poisons dropped to the ground. *it’s like a water proof material* I don’t know how it works, but it has a perfect defense for my poison, the only way to defeat it will be the holes on its body. *eyes, nose, ears etc.*

The needle bear starts to run toward me, while shooting black needles at the same time. I created a thick rock wall to defend from the needles, and move to the side. The bear smashed through the wall with ease, and its black fur started to glow.
*I don’t know what it is but it looks dangerous* I quickly spit at him, and create another rock wall.
*BOOM*
The rock wall was smashed into pieces as some small rocks flew to the surrounding. Electricity was now flowing on the bear’s fur, as sparks starts to strike the nearby trees and created a fire, * It even looks cool, to be honest, I want one LOL*.
*CCCRRRKKKSSSS*
The bear shoots a bolt of lightning to my direction.
It was so fast and I can’t even react that fast enough, I tried to dodge it but it still hits my body.
I received a little damage as my stone armor was destroyed by the powerful lightning attack.
*boom* *boom* *boom*
A barrage or attacks were coming. Creating multiple walls were not very effective as they were destroyed in an instant, I create another batch of walls while running fast. *this is the only thing I can think of right now.*
*crrrkkk* BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*
It was raining lightning all around me, dodging left and right. Each hit destroys my rock armor, thanks to my armor the damage to my health was not that high.
After gaining some distance, I turned around and look at the pursuing black bear. I start to shoot small rock at it, to slow it down while creating a hidden pit hole behind me. The bear begins to run so fast, it wants to rum me, while charging electricity to its fur. I made the hole deeper as much as I can; I also start to produce mucus beneath my feet and in front of me.
When the bear was about one and a half meter from me, I quickly jumped to the back using my tail. The black bear also jumped to catch me, but the mucus from its feet reduces the power of its jump. I was about to spit a mouthful of poison, but it blocked its head with its arms. Rotating my body forward, I made the tip of my tail a lot bigger using [Armor Modification], it was like a huge club, and with the force of my rotation and tail, I hammered down the blocking bear.
*crack* *crash*
The rock on the tip of my tail got destroyed, and some needles torn the flesh of my tail, but it was not a problem as the bear plummet down to the hidden hole.
*BOOM*
It crashed down to the bottom.
I was not about to make it to the other side, but I quickly extended the ground from the other side and made a platform. Without waiting for the bear to recover, I start producing poison and let it flow to the bear that was stuck at the bottom.
Regaining its consciousness, the bear start producing electricity but nothing was happening. It also tried climbing the walls, but he cannot do such a thing. The poison was almost reaching half of its body, the black bear starts to produce electricity none stop but there was nothing it could do.
From the continuous use of electricity, the poison was heating up and it started to boil. A thick purple smoke starts to rise from the pit, but it also slowly disappear.
The bear was also dead, because of the deadly smoke from the heated poison.
|Leveled up five times from killing the Guardian Bear.|
*hmmm maybe it was the guardian of the dungeon wall, and the notification that came out was a warning or something?*
*HHHAAAA!! Finally it was all over*
I start to regenerate my armor back to normal while raising the ground from the hole.
The black bear’s half body was covered with a solidified poison, and it was also smelled like a pouched meat with deadly poison sauce. *yum ^^ LOL*
Figuring out how to eat this bear, the upper body was raw and I can’t even cut through because the fur was so strong, but thanks for the hot liquid when it died, the lower part was a bit tender. I start to cut the belly using my claw; it took me ten attempts to successfully cut through the meat. I then start eating, and carefully bite the fur from the inside because it’s much safer.
*nom* *nom* *nom*
-END-
Thank you for reading ^^. . If you want to rate my story, at least give me a review please (or not), but i want to know the reason for giving me a low rate for my story. It would help me a lot if I know the reason why you didn't like my story, or what should I give attention more.

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.
