《Battlefront》4 -First fight
Advertisement
Pragna started walking through cave. He has been walking for almost 15 mins. At the pace he is going at he walked 0.9 kms.
He realized that this volcano's walls are quite sturdy. After walking for almost 1hr he reached the end of the cave. If not for the weird paradigm shift in his life, he might have quite enjoyed the scenery. Till his eyes could see the land was covered in lush forest. He walked out of the entrance of the cave and before he could walk he instinctively felt few presences! Those presences that he is sensing are definitely more than 2kilometers away, yet he could clearly feel 20 of them, like they were some kind of flickering flames!
Because you are flame itself you are extremely sensitive to the presence of any flame sources. It does not matter whether they are living beings or not.
A new skill that is created. Flame resonance, lvl1. Can sense flame sources up to 3kms.
After walking for 1km he suddenly sensed that some of the flickering flame sources noticed him. Five of those sources started approaching him. As they got closer they stopped at different locations. While some climbed the tree. Some tried to hide behind the rocks. If not for the flame resonance he never would have noticed them. As he got close to the tree one of the source climbed he noticed that flame is starting to flicker a lot. He understood that the moment he gets close the tree he will be attacked.
He calmly walked towards the tree. Just as he was about to cross the tree something huge tried to jump on him. He reflexively dodged to his left and jumped back few meters. The moment he dodged he heard a huge thud sound as that thing crashed onto the exact spot he was previously standing in.

And then he noticed it is gorilla like creature. Almost 7 feet tall if it stands on its legs. But what was impressive was its hands. They are thick and bulky, its wrist radius is minimum 13cms, and that is huge. It has red eyes, while it was breathing out hot steam.
While it is getting ready for another tackle, Pragna used Gift of knowledge on it

Pragna calmly assessed the situation. Stone gorilla started the charge. Pragna did not move. Right when it is in front of him, Pragna nimble moved into the center of the charge and before it could react he knee kicked it right under its jaw. Combining its momentum and the sudden knee kick its jaw cracked, but Pragna also suffered damage he broke his knee. But that did not stop him from further attacking. He rushed forward and shoved his hand right into its broken mouth and used highest temperature flames. When he kicked the gorilla he understood why it is called stone gorilla. Its exterior was tough as stone! but since it is a living organism he thought his inside must be definitely made of flesh. He took that gamble and it worked like a wonder. Even though it has fire attribute, comparing its skill to his is comparing a firefly to a sun. Even before it knew what was happening its tongue, throat and brain were burned to a charcoal condition and died without knowing what was happening.
Congratulations! you reached lvl 7
You killed someone of higher lvl on for your first kill! Next time when you face a enemy of higher lvl you have 0.5% higher chance of winning the fight
But Pragna did not have time to think about this. He noticed that rest of the four flame sources started moving towards him.

His broken knee is slowly healing. But that pace is not enough and also he needed the body of this gorilla. He slowly started dragging the gorilla's body back to the cave. They were slowly encroaching onto him. But the moment he neared the cave they stopped and when he entered the cave they dispersed. Pragna was relieved.
I am right! for some reason no species want to come near the cave .
But right now he has a bigger worry, his knee! He has to go back to lava lake drink some and eat the fire fruit. He decided that till his level rises to a sufficient point he will use the volcano as his base. Also after that he has to skin this gorilla and use it to cover himself up. He is really vulnerable if he is totally naked! and from looks of it these stones gorillas have really thick hide.
Slowly he dragged the 200 kgs gorilla body back to the volcano. When he reached the end of the cave he threw the body down. He almost fell down when climbed down to lava lake, the broken knee was hurting like hell!
He almost had to drag himself to the lake. He started drinking lava again
Your knee started healing at an accelerated pace. You realized fire has an healing effect on you.
He took few more gulps
Your knee is completely healed.You realized fire has an healing effect on you
He plucked some fire fruit and started eating them. He felt really great.
He dragged the stone gorilla's body neat the lake. He started skinning it from its head. Luckily the damage was only limited to its head. If not he would have lost valuable meat and skin.
After few trial and errors he skinned its back properly, but the rest was more or less got ripped.
And then came the meat! he was craving for it for last few days but he only got to eat fruit and drink lava!
He sat down and as he tried to eat the meat raw, for some reason it was too tough for his teeth to rip it. So he tried to cook it with flames.
This time he did not hurry. He held a small piece of meat and tried to cook it at low temperature. When it did not work he slowly increased temperature.
After few minutes, tissue softened up for him to eat. It was delicious! He started wolfing down the rest of the cooked meat
,just as he swallowed the last bit of the 120 kgs of the gorilla's meat his stomach felt that rare satisfaction feeling. He was feeling quiet content and just as he was about get up he got series of interesting notifications.
