《Contract: Restart》Chapter 8+bonus
Advertisement
I woke up surrounded by tall meadows. I straightened myself and got up. As I initially stood pain surged through me from my legs. There was an arrow lodged in it. I broke it’s tip and quickly drew it out. As it went out blood slowly streamed out from the wound. I ignored the pain and inspected my surroundings.
I was in a savanna with very few trees and full of tall meadows. To my north was a rocky and barren land that seems to be devoid of life. The setting sun glowed with orange and yellowy gold as they mixed together making the savanna more beautiful. Blood still continued to steam from my thigh so I took my clothe and tear it apart. I then bandaged my leg and then
Ding!
You have learned the skill First aid.
First Aid lvl.1(beginner)
By giving quick remedy to wounds or sickness you are able to patch up small wounds.
As soon as I was able to finish patching up I then tried to recall what happened. My head almost burst as soon as my memories came to me. Tears slowly streamed out of my eyes. I dropped to the ground kneeling. I was alone again. No one to turn to. Kairos, my fucking god was has forsaken. No wait he was the God of desolate so this might have been his plan…or not. I couldn’t really tell but one thing I do know is that I must never again trust people thinking that they will always be there for me.
I was foolish for thinking that. Have I not already learned my lesson the first time I was betrayed? Man I guess the saying goes Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on you was a good implication on my current predicament. I laughed. Yes I laughed at how stupid I was while kneeling with tears flowing from my eyes. If people could have seen me they would have think of me as an insane person.
But then It dawned on me. This world. Why have I even accepted that contract, am I simply a mere amusement to Kairos? A sadistic god that enjoys the suffering of others. Wouldn’t it be better for me to just die? Lightning then came crashing in front of me. The nearest tree burst into flames as it made contact with the flash of light. What the hell! Was that a sign for me? Was that sign a yes or no?
“If that was a sign you fucking God, give me a rain if it’s a no and a tornado if yes!”
Rain immediately poured and the heat from my body began to dissipate. I guess that fucking God wants me to suffer more. Fine then if he wants me to suffer I will take along with me those Fucking Ass holes and that entire village with me. But first it was nearly nightfall and I’m pretty sure that in these lands monsters would mostly spawn at night. I haven’t ever gone outside the village in my 10 years in this new life and knowing that outside will probably be dangerous didn’t even dare to get out. Oh how I regretted it now.

I didn’t know what kind of monsters there are in this place but it would be best that I find shelter for the night. I frantically began my search for shelter going through a random direction so long as I know it’s not going back to the village.
An hour has already passed and I found no good place for shelter. The sun was already almost down. And going to my last resort took off to a tree that I deemed to be high enough. I started to climb the tree and my thigh throbbed in pain. It started to bleed gain and my shirt got red. Once I arrived at the top I strode towards a thick branch that I deemed would be large enough to not break at my weight. I sat there with my back on another branch that overlapped.
I just let the wound be since I didn’t have any healing spell and early on tomorrow I’m going to find a Queen glove herb. I learned different types of herbs and what their implications may be from reading medical books at the library. I guess knowledge really is power. Let’s just hope there aren’t any monsters that might spot me at night, or if maybe they do spot me let’s just hope It doesn’t know how to climb a tree. Or that I don’t bleed out to death first. I started to feel drowsy so I went to sleep.
The next day the Morning rays entered my greeted me and I woke up still sleazy. But then The pain in my thigh still throbbed this time it was far more painful. This is bad I could have gotten an infection and I felt like my strength was far less than yesterday. It seems I loss a lot of blood. I started to climb down from the tree and immediately went out to search for the herb. They mostly grow at the softer soils and I didn’t know where it was so yet again I went out for another pointless search going at a random direction.
3 hours has already passed and it seems I managed to hit gold as I felt that the soil got softer and softer as I moved on. I guess lady luck was now starting to smile at me and not Mr. Grim reaper eh? Another hour has passed and now I am parched. Without water my lips was now starting to get dryer and my stomach growled as it hasn’t eaten anything for hours now.
I finally found the herb a few minutes later. It appeared to be like a gumamela (google it) plant with scarlet red petals and long stalks. I immediately picked it out of the ground and started to take the petals off. This was important part from what I read and started to chew on it. Once it was moist enough I took my shirt that I wrapped on my wound and plastered the saliva coated…abomination on my wound and wrapped it with my shirt again.

Now that I managed to solve that problem onto the next which was hydration a.k.a water. It was very hard finding water on the wilds. I just ignored the gnawing of my stomach for now since humans can survive a month without food but less than three days without water.
I read in a book that the most effective way to find water was following animal tracks but this time I guess monster tracks. I gave a sigh I wish I just filtered that rain that fucking god gave me man I am such an Idiot. I started to investigate animal tracks and finally I found one. It had a hoof print on it and started to follow it to where it may lead. Hours has already gone by and a few crazy directions managed to find a running stream. Also I learned a skill called tracking.
Yes thank god! Without waiting for another second quickly plunged myself into the water and drank my fill. Lukewarm water entered my throat and my dry lips finally regained their moisture. I made a marker in my mind map on where the river may be. Then what aroused me was the movement of a bush or maybe a tall grass nearby. This indicated an predator…or prey depends anyway.
I quickly got out of the river and jump into a hiding spot quickly. I then observed what came out. What appeared was like a cross breed between a lion and a rhino. It had a large mane on it’s neck with fangs protruding from its snout and had two horns sticking out of its upper snout. It had a large thick gray hide that could probably prevent blades from piercing it’s body. With a body less bigger than a rhino’s it looked like a dangerous beast to encounter.
My mind said to run away as soon as I can, my heart said to find a corner and cower in fear, but my stomach said attack that living meat tank. I didn’t know what it was called so I just gave it a nickname Hairy balls. Which was quite true actually.
Without any weapon all I have was my fists and feet. As soon as it turned it’s back I immediately started to follow it. I tried to find the right moment to ambush it.

You have gained the skill Stealth
Stealth lvl.1(beginner)

Moments later I found the opening and Immediately pounced on it. I landed on Its back . It was alarmed and immediately started to flail wildly trying to get me off. I rode it like a matador and activated body strengthening as well as warrior’s instinct and started hitting the back of its neck. Its mane proved to be troublesome. It was thicker than it looked and was far more harder.
I kept on hitting the back of its neck with full force all the while trying to keep my balance as hairy balls kept on flailing. I kept on hitting in quick succession not knowing how long it will take. I was finally knocked off its back and landed on my butt. The beast immediately charged at me pointing its big ass horn at me. I rolled to the left to dodge. But hairy balls was far more agile than it looked. It quickly changed direction bulldozing all on its way and hitting square on the shoulder.
I flew back with a snap. My left shoulder was dislocated and I lost 400 health points. Oh man if that hit me fair and square I’m as good as dead. I immediately lodged back my shoulder on its rightful place and pain seeped as a snapping sound could be heard. I gritted my teeth and I was almost near fainting but I kept on my will and faced another oncoming charge of hairy balls.
As it charged forth recklessly I made a sidestep and immediately grabbed its horn. As I grabbed it I forced myself to hold onto it and held it so that it wouldn’t be able to turn its head. Forcing every ounce of strength I made and using a judo move I saw on tv before threw it down on the ground. It made an arc as it fell on its back. It’s stomach was now exposed and I took this opening and activated backlash blow. A fury of punches assaulted it’s stomach until it breathed its last wisp of air.
I was exhausted from that but the spoils was great. With the meat now available and with great force broke both its horns and started to sharpen it with the closest stone I could get. It took 2 hours to make the horn sharp enough to penetrate it’s hide.
I slowly skinned it and then

Later on did I realize that It would prove troublesome to sleep at the ground instead at the tree.

Life is Wilde
There is a world where fiction meets reality. A world where human logic may prevail. Where human logic is the main thing that binds humanity. A world where Humanity is lesser to The World.Synopsis (For Chapters after Authors Note):Oscar is a child alike most others. He loves his mother, doesn't know his dad, and lives in a dome. Only, his greatest dream is to explore the vast wildes that plague the world. The problem is, the wildes house strange creatures mutated by radiation and a mysterious energy called "The Essence". How will Oscar ever survive in this chaotic world? Come, watch as our beloved character grows, makes friends, and paves a road into the firmaments as he establish his name in the new historical categories.Author's note*:This is an idea I'm roughing out. I'll be writing randomly, attenmpting to forge a storyline from my own sweat, determination, and creativity. It's loosely based on some Wuxia/Xuanhuan fictions I've read. It will have elements of human physiology, psychology, environmental science, nature vs man, man vs nature, human nature vs humanity, etc. This story is mean to be a work of fiction. It encompasses some of my views on morality. It will have corruption, foul-language, ignorance, racism. It will glean a bright world with imagination fused with the dark shadows for some to seek refuge. Though, in the world I will be creating... Refuge comes at a cost. A steep one.That is the Way of the World. The way of my world.Need cover art plz
