《The horseman, death》Chapter 10
Advertisement
Okaaay so where should I start? I know let's say I fucked up. Currently i'm sitting in front of a pile of dust that was once cristal. Next to me was a large white horse with glowing silver eyes and bone-like armor on it's flesh. But the bones were in places that wouldn't inconvenience it. Now how should I start?
Let's go back to after leaving the horse. We ran for a while until sometime in the middle of the night cristal spoke up.
Cristal: Hey death, can we stop?
Me: Huh? Why? Were making such great time.
Cristal: Well i'm getting sleepy and I can't sleep hopping up and down on your back.
I thought about it a little weighing the pros and cons and came to a conclusion.
Me: Fine but were leaving early in the morning.
Cristal: That's good enough.
I found a spot in the forest that allows one to make a fire without the trees nearby to catch fire. I set cristal down and went out to hunt for food. Thanks to my ability to see souls I quickly found what looked like a deer and killed it with a orb. I thought about using the sword but the edible parts might dissolve before I get back to camp. I then harvested the edible parts with a knife, courtesy of dead bandits, and placed them in a bag and returned. When I got back cristal was already asleep. I figured I shouldn't wake her so I quickly cooked the meat and ate it leaving none for her. I then got up and went a few kilometers away to practice my magic. I took off the cloak and immediately the trees died around me. Though I almost immediately pulled in the area of effect.
After all I did more than just run this past week. I've been practicing my magic when cristal goes to sleep. The tiny orb project was kind of fighting me so I switched to the area effect around me. It took me a couple of days but I was able to reel in the magic that was leaving my body and keep it inside. The problem though now with this is I still need to be conscious of doing it. Which means I can't run, look at possible dangers ahead, focus on the tugging feeling on my chest while also listening to cristals lecture's to learn more about this world and keep my magic from leaking out.

Anyway I am currently working on the tiny orb project and something miraculous happened. I split a orb in 2. Now you may wonder how this is so great or why don't I just take a orb and shrink it. Well first off i don't know how to shrink one and I don't know what would happen if I fail. For all I know a explosion the size of a hydrogen bomb could go off. I really don't want that. So I figured split a orb in half then just keep splitting it until it's the size of a fly would be much safer.
However splitting one orb was very difficult and only now did I successfully do it. Anyway after this accomplishment I headed back to camp. But a little surprise was waiting for me. It was the little white horse we helped. I spaced out a little at seeing the little guy then I immediately began to wonder how he found us so easily and quickly. Only a slight grumbling sound brought me back to attention and I found the sound originated from the horse's stomach. Thinking it was hungry I grabbed the last apple we had and held it out in front of him.
But instead of eating the apple he took a small bite out of the side of my hand. I immediately jumped back and prepared to kill this thing when something unexpected happened. A dirty gray like light shot out of the horse immediately surrounding it. I had to shield my eyes from the sudden brightness. Then after a few seconds the light died down and standing where the little horse which was no older than a few years was a fully matured adult horse that had some serious muscle and bone armor on. However the most significant change was the air surrounding it.

It was heavy and menacing. It screamed DON'T FUCK WITH THIS ANIMAL. Cristal awoke because of this pressure and when she saw the horse she screamed and shot a beam out of probably reflex. However when the beam connected with the horse it looked pissed beyond reason and looked at her. It's eye's glowed and next thing I know cristal is aging rapidly. First a young adult, than 50 year old lady, than a elderly, then a corpse, then a skeleton, and finally dust.
I was analyzing the situation. There was the possible apocalypse, the hit marks in the book, plague, and finally this horse and the future. I began thinking I could continue towards plague but then what? My guide is dead and I doubt plague knows where places are in this world. At least not yet. It could take month's to get to General Lance Bearshriek and it would be to late. There was the chance plague found a town. But the chance she destroyed it was higher. The other 2 were an option but war is probably fighting and hunger is probably indulging his desires.
The horse seemed to calm down and was looking at me. It showed none of the hostility it had earlier so I had some breathing room.
Me: Guess this is the only option.
I took out the book of death and wrote

For a Change - A Slice of Life LitRPG
Change is constant. Starting over without your own memories? Connected to some System AI? Probably a pretty big change. Join Monday March as she attempts to deal with these changes and many others in a fantasy future with magic, monsters, AIs, and dating. Notes / Expectations: - About the writing style - Almost always First Person past tense (aside from the prologue), Chapters are short by design. Also, I'm not rushing to the conclusion, it's there, I'm in no hurry. - Genres - Fantasy is the most obvious umbrella, Action, Comedy, Romance, Psychological and everything else that makes a character into a comprehensive person will likely crop up, but won't be the main focus, at least not for hundreds of pages - Tags - Dungeon, Gender Bender (closer to gender themes), Post Apocalyptic and a few others might be a valid fit, but anything that doesn't fit most chapters will be set aside tag wise for now. Possible updates in the future if needed. - Content Warnings - While I want to write this story as accessible and friendly, sometimes a narrative gets messy, and sometimes people are naked, or get hurt either physically or mentally. Best to be prepared. As for cussing, well, our main character will avoid it. - Initial posting schedule is once a week, updates to the schedule will be posted here or in chapter notes.
