《The King Of Sloth》Chapter 3
Advertisement
Looking around, I can't see anything but trees. Wait. Why is it so quiet? It's like there's no life at all. Well whatever, I wonder which way should I go? Eh who cares, I'll just walk straight ahead and hope for the best. But seriously, why are the trees so freaking huge? It gives the forest a 'haunted' vibe. Don't get me wrong I have nothing against ghosts, it's just creepy you know?
After walking in (what I think was) a Straight line, I found my first sign of life! In the shape of a big brown furry pile of muscle. Now I understand, there's no other animals because this thing scared them off! Now that I take a closer look at it, isn't that thing a bear? Since when were bears the size of houses? Well whatever, I should leave before this thing wakes up and decides to eat me. I turn around and start to walk away, when something so anticlimactic happened that I almost laughed at myself.
SNAP
I STEPPED ON A FUCKING TWIG!!!!
The I turn around to see if it woke up. And then bolted as soon as I saw a ten meter tall bear looking down on me. Wait a second how did that thing get up so fast!? I looked at it as soon as the twig snapped! Well whatever let's focus on running shall we?
Gained Skill: Sprint!
Ah, that's some nice timing it sounds pretty useful. For this situation that is.
Sprinting: Double agility when sprinting.
Passive Skill.
Wait. Isn't that totally useless? I mean all it does is make my agility 0.2 instead of 0.1. Yep. Ok. Thanks for nothing. All of this happened in my head in an instant. That Accelerated Thinking Skill sure is helpful.
I look behind me and see.....

What do I call this?
I guess a bear running at me at the speed of a bullet train would be a good way of expressing this picture. Also aren't those trees, like really sturdy? I mean the bear/train is avoiding them so he probably can't break them right? I guess I'll find out. I jump up with all of my strength, aiming for a low branch.
And miss it by a very large margin. I forgot that gravity was barely even affecting me right now. I am currently gliding OVER the giant trees. This might take a while.
Or not. I grabbed onto a branch that came near me and hung on it. First I checked for any signs of the bear/train. Which was gone. Then I looked for a thick branch. Which I found. Then I laid down and.....
Took a nap.
I opened my eyes and looked around. I was back on the ground. I guess I fell off the branch huh.

I came to realise after seeing that bear/train. I need an attack. Is it possible to do a gravity punch? Though I'm not sure gravity works that way....
But who cares I'll try it!
I imagine a giant fist hitting the tree.... and a giant pressure hits it.

The War of Two Kinds
Humanity was slowly dying out, resources scarce and only the reliance on technology and/or old primitive ways were the only choice to continue. Discovering old artefacts of yonder time, they found out the second being of life naming themselves as the Guardian species. With immense power in possibilities and their likeliness to humans, it was their only salvation as both kinds struggle their way to continue their desperate measure to keep the world alight. However, this wasn't all. A secret governmental team of operatives scouted from all around the world was trying to find a cure for *The Happening*. An endangering disaster that wiped out most of the male species, whether human, animal or any type of sexual reproduction in the other kingdoms. Most females too, once you scavenge more into the deeper truth. Equipped with weapons of bio-destruction made by both the species intelligence in weapons and nuclear scientists, they will mow down the terrorist groups, the hidden organizations, and any other party--that tries to stop their freedom and rights to a better tomorrow. However as much as they fight, Hell just needs to grasp them to a closer end, with worse corruption.

Rimward Bound
Every citizen of the sky-cities of His Majesty's Star-Empire knows that a ship, both sky- and star-, is more then just a few bits of metal. It is the grand sum of it's hull and the crew that sail it. 'Hulls of battle-steel and men to match!' That's what the Navy's recruitment poster's claim at least. Every sailor knows that there is one more component that the city-bound folk ignore at their own peril: the soul of the ship. That it takes both man and hull to make a true ship, and that neither alone serve well or for long. In 8225 Lord Jeffrye Saltonstall the Fourth, Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps, demands semi-automated ships to 'reduce the loss of life among our brave crews', manages to convince the other politicians and bureaucrats to fund them, and gets the Office of Ship Construction to sign off on the ships as structurally sound. Dockyard workers shake their heads at the ships, muttering that they are cursed from birth, even as construction drags on. In 8230 the Explorer, first of her class, is launched. She sets out in 8233 to great fanfare on a trip expected to last six months. Neither she nor her twelve-person crew is ever heard from again. By 8235, the remaining seven Explorers are are commissioned. Lord Saltonstall managed to find crews for six of them but at the cost of mass resignations. The Night Horse, last of the Explorer class, sat in reserve as her sister-ships served well enough despite ill luck and misfortune. The Office of Ship Construction quietly issues notice that no more semi-automated ships are to be built and that all active Semi-automated ships are to be quietly retired and broken up for scrap over the next ten years. The Night Horse, sitting in reserve, is missed due to bureaucratic oversight. In 8250 Lord Ayland Wynstryngham the Eighth assumes the office of Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps. His first act is to issue notice that no ship is to be without crew nor sit in dock or reserve for longer then required for maintenance and upkeep. The Night Horse, all but forgotten, is quietly brought back into active service. Recruiting a crew for her proves another matter entirely. What poor or desperate fool would willingly sign on to crew, much less command, a cursed ship and spend months or years in deep space? Well, you would, of course. Where else is a kid from the gutters going to find that kind of freedom in the service of His Majesty? A [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] 2021. Warnings: Second person is used in this work. Semi-Polished draft: Posted chapters are subject to revision as needed as things progress. Mild Profanity on occasion.
