《Chaos uploaded》Chapter 12- Natural predator(part 2)
Advertisement
Author's note: Soo...this was a bit of a challenge for me to write, since I had no idea how to do it...and so I simply improvised a lot. XD Also it is shorter than usual, mainly because it is a filler to some extend. XD
======================================
Inas POV
As I ran, I couldn't help but notice how quickly my body, and mind adapted to situations. Why, exactly? Because even if temporarily, I managed to create legs! Legs good enough to run as fast as the predator! But yet, there was something else. Something that made things quite harder for me.
I lacked any sort of eyesight, meaning I often bumped into obstacles. Get out of the way, carts! get out of the way, farmers! I couldn't help but find the situation nervous, since I bumped into something every few seconds. I felt like I was as lost as a blind man in a shootout!
The windows came up so often that I swear, even if I had sight I wouldn't be able to see anything! I mean, sure it is helpful to keep track of my health, but there is a limit to it!
Stop hugging the wall!-3 HP
open the door before entering!-5 HP
(failed)Hug of death!-8 HP
You tried to run, but a cart was in the way!-5 HP
By running constantly, your body became more agile!+1 AGI
See?....well the last window was a bit more helpful, but it isn't enough to make me escape my predator, and the damage was constant, to the point it was outdoing my regeneration!
Somebody help me! Anybody! Any villager, please save me from this bloodthirsty monster!
But even as I thought such words as strongly as possible, I couldn't hear any footsteps except the one from the predator, which was just a few feet away from me.

Amiita POV
Oh, gueez! Who knew that slimes could be so fast? If she was silver-colored, I would consider her the fabled silver slime which appeared in old RPGs, which give a lot of XP if defeated! But that made it all the more fun to go after her!
And then, I realized something. The slime was extremely clumsy, to the point she kept bumping into everything. She had bumped straight into a wall, although instead of staying quiet and falling down into the ground, like a relatively normal human would, she ended up 'bouncing' on the wall, and nearly going into my arms.
Keyword, nearly. She passed by me, just inches out of my reach as she returned to running...leaving me to hit the wall as well. Thankfully, due to my specie, I wasn't hurt by the collision, but it made me somewhat surprised...and excited. This was somebody I needed to catch, even if it is only for the challenge of it! And so, I returned to the slime chase.
Next time, I managed to hug the slippery slime...and she simply slipped: I hugged her too tight, and then she acted almost like a soap, slipping off my grasp and moving under my arms, then between my legs and escaping behind me. It took a few seconds for me to realize what had just happened, and all I could do was to be glad that I wasn't wearing a skirt, and instead was wearing leather armor!
After I recovered from the shock, I tried to run after the slime, my face now red in embarrassment in the next few seconds, before turning back into its normal color...and now the girl ran inside of a wooden cart full of fruits, hard enough to knock it down, and then kept running forward without losing any speed. Meanwhile, I tried to jump over the cart...only to land on the fruits, and slipped down, falling down on my tail.

I quickly got back on my feet, to chase my prey. But every time I got too close to her... the slime girl got lucky, and managed to gain some distance from me again! The chase kept going strong, though, I'm not letting such rare prey run away from me!
"..Stop...running..." I mumbled, panting as I grabbed the slime's arm...and then I felt everything go black, along with my thoughts. Too soft...too comfortable...
Inas POV
I was extremely tired after a dozen of minutes of running around, although by the end of it...I didn't manage to throw the hunter off. My arm was caught by the hunter, and even though I could just break off simply by shapeshifting... I was too exhausted for it.
At this point, maybe the death penalty wouldn't be so bad, at least I'd get a small rest. But yet, death never came. Instead, I felt a weight on my body, as I was pushed onto the ground, and there was...something...or rather, somebody on top of me. At first I was scared. Very scared, I was helpless to whatever that thing wanted.
But then all fear disappeared, in the moment I heard a noise. The noise of snoring, along with the feeling of something sticky, warm over my body...probably being saliva. Gross! But yet...I was far too tired to care about such things like how gross the drool was, and instead, enjoyed the body warmth as I slowly drifted down to sleep, right under my predator.
Innkeeper POV
I couldn't help but become curious about the mess outside of the inn. There were various adventurers and travelers who even paid the bill and headed outside, even before they had finished their meal.
Anything that could do such thing was far from something normal. Deciding to leave the rest of the shift for my assistant, I came out of the inn...only to see a hectic scene, of a draconian chasing a slime in the shape of a woman.
...I...surely have never seen anything like this in my life. They both looked exhausted, but yet, they were faster than I could ever hope to run.
"They've been at it for half hour." A man told me, helping me understand something. How inhuman these people were...but yet, I saw the draconian finally grab the slime's arm, and falling on top of her.
At first, I was somewhat worried about what sort of scene might happen...but instead, I saw a sight that could only be considered 'cute'. the draconian fell asleep on top of the slime, and the slime soon followed the dragon into the land of dreams.
"Alright folks, the show is over." I declared boldly, before anybody did anything wrong. "Somebody help me to carry them to a room in the inn." I added, hoping there was somebody kind in the crowd. After all this was done and over, I'd ask for payment, but for now, it just didn't sit right for me to let these two sleep on the streets, even if they didn't seem the kind to carry money.

The Arcane Gunslinger
A lazy celestial being's mistake leads to Sergeant William Remington, a decorated member of the Coalition Marines, to be placed into a new body. His old life aboard the Valkyrie, an interstellar destroyer has also been replaced as he finds his new body in an unknown world. Where he learns of magic, skills, the system, helhorses, and slinging lead with ancient revolvers. Initially, he is skeptical of his new norm but the desire to survive leads him to try to earn a living while he figures out what just happened to his life. He's a fighter but far from the elite, a grunt with some experience. But what better way than to fall back to what he's familiar with, weapons and going after criminals and rebels. With the added challenges of monsters. This is my first Litrpg writing. It's a wild west fantasy setting with the MC taking a role as a gun-slinging bounty hunter in a world of magic and monsters. Hope you enjoy it. UPDATES AT 3PM EST ON MONDAYS AND THURSDAYS! Warning. The story has a slow start because I'm trying to keep my MC realistic. It takes him some time to adjust to his new surroundings, start to make some friends, and really get into the swing of it. I kind of think it's dumb when an isekai's MC manages to blink twice and suddenly adapts to their new world without any sort of struggle or learning period. So not doing that but don't worry Will may be confused and a bit unfocused at first but he'll grow into his own. Also using it to practice my digital artwork... which is far from par but improving. Keep an eye on author notes for maps and depictions of monsters and characters.

Bear with me or contact me if you find something that is just too bad for you. Actually, I appreciate any reports of errors (spelling or continuity) that you find and let me know about. In the discord I have a dedicated channel for these reports. If you don't want to join... I do read the chapter comments. ;)There is one thing I want to point out though. And that is that I chose to place this story in a LitRPG and game universe so it doesn't have to be 100% scientifically correct. Also: Clarke's 3rd law!

Ortus
A woman wakes up in a forest, naked, alone, and injured. She has nothing but a strange, black dagger and mysterious, floating, blue boxes to aid her. Can she find food and water? Survive the deadly animals? Escape the forest? Learn about the life-altering magic the boxes provide her? She has to use her wits, her knowledge, and maths to do so. But first, baby steps. She doesn't even understand the language, yet. If you see any maths mistakes or strange story decisions, leave a comment and I will either fix it or consider changing it. This is also, essentially, a first draft. That means I will edit older chapters and nothing is final, including numbers. Any major changes are listed in the changelog below each chapter. Since this is a first draft, the start is noticably bad and inconsistent compared to the more recent chapters so you will have to endure that to get to the good stuff. Rewritten version of Ortus (Old Version)

However, when Soletus’s resolve to help starts to waiver, Mien does something unexpected and Soletus decides that the boy deserves a second chance not as an act of duty but as a friend. Hy'Ruh-Ha is a what I consider a chronicle fantasy. It is a fantasy drama coming of age story inspired by slice-of-life stories I've read and watched. It is heavy on the slice-of-life and does move slow. It is low-stakes fantasy. This particular story is romance free.(2 out the of 4 is re-uploaded under this title) And if you are someone who cares, the POV character is asexual. Crossroad(formally labeled as the intermission stories)- is a novella collection continuing the tale where Hy'ruh-Ha. The collection as followed: Wolf- After spending several months in the swamp post, Oeric'Sheldmartin returns to repair the chasm between him and his son, Soletus. However, a ghost from his past comes to haunt him and could ruin the life he's made completely. Note: Wolf is a bit of a character piece. POV character is Oeric. The Priest and the Priestess- A novella written in the POV of Mien and then Kiao after a series of unexpected events that change their lives. Mien's POV- Mien has spent the last couple of years working not only in the infirmary but training to become a combat chanter as part of his penitence.
