《Machinarium》Chapter 8: [Leveling up]
Advertisement
"Anyways, If we are to survive out here we will need to get stronger."
"Maybe, But im not going to kill things!" Bula said
"Ugh, Fine. Just stay here then."
"Fine. Maybe I WILL stay here!" Bula replied.
I roll back outside of my cave with alpha following, And I hear squeaking sounds.
"Huh? What is that?"
[It sounds like something that is living]
"I know that retard."
'Slow, Alpha. We don't want to alarm whatever that is.'
Alpha slows down and crouches to reduce chances of being found.
I slowly roll past the bush and i see a few hundred rabbits jumping around and feeding on the grass. One of the rabbits has giant sharp teeth and is feeding on another rabbit.
"What the fuck is that. Why is there a rabbit eating another rabbit?!"
[Its called survival of the fittest. Plus, this isn't your last world. Things arent "normal"]
'Alpha, sneak up to the cannibal rabbit and kill it'
Alpha begins to sneak through the bushes and gets up behind the cannibal rabbit. His sword extends and he stabs his sword into the cannibal rabbit, tearing open its skin and blood
flying everywhere. It shakes and twitches as it finally dies.
'Jesus, Did it have to be THAT brutal?'
'Anyways, Alpha, pick the rabbit up and let's go back home'
Alpha retracts his blade and grabs the rabbit by its ears.
'Hm, I'm going to have to add a basket to him sometime soon. This is too inefficient.'
We exit the bushes and begin to head back home.
'Hm, what should i do with this rabbit thing?'
[You can fuse items to your constructs using the upgrade menu. Doing so allows you to give your constructs magic or other useful items.]

The sun begins to shine in between the leaves as we finally make it back home.
'Alpha, Put the rabbit down.'
Alpha puts the rabbit's corpse down slowly, as not to damage it.
Bula walks up to the cannibal rabbit's corpse and says "Wait, Isn't this a killer rabbit? How did YOU kill it? Not even 3 orcs can kill it!"
"Well, as I said, I and my constructs are not organic. As such, I can fit many things inside of them. One of those things is this sword."
I queue alpha to extend his blade
"Wait, Where did that come from?" Bula says amazed
"It literally came from him. That's how he killed it."

An Unbound Soul
When Peter suffers a too-close encounter with a truck, he finds himself reborn in another world. At first glance it is a perfect fantasy land. There's magic to play with, elves singing in the forest and a hyperactive catgirl neighbour. There's even a System that lets him earn skills and level up. But it isn't long before he notices that the world is far too perfect. Just why is everyone so nice? Can Peter accept the alien morality of this world's self-proclaimed protector, or will he seek to overthrow her? Set after the events of A Lonely Dungeon, a few hundred years after the rebirth of civilization, this is a story about an earthling falling into Erryn's new world and the subsequent struggles of himself and Erryn to understand each other. It's a slow paced slice of life, and while there are pieces of action, don't expect any immediate grand conflict between Erryn and Peter. Published here, scribblehub and amazon. Two new chapters a week on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Steps of the Immortal Tree
Evan stood on a hill, staring calmly at the gate of his former clan. A crowd waited behind him, some eyeing the clan in an unresigned manner, others looking at their spiritual support. Some of the young children shivered at the gnawing cold. Wind howled in his ears, seemingly deploring his fate. A silvery cloud drifted over the mountains surrounding the compound. The roar of a river could be heard from underneath its frozen surface. He had reincarnated many years ago. Hailed as a prodigy from his youngest age, Evan had seemingly tread on a path to invincibility. He had gotten married with his childhood sweetheart and had cultivated with a group of friends, forming a considerable power of his own. Yet now, here he was, devoid of any path to move forward, with his energy locus destroyed. His wife was dead and his branch had been kicked out of the clan. He looked at his progeny that had been entrusted to him. The baby seemed content in his father’s strong arms, too young to understand anything but the warmth of the father’s beating heart. Signaling to the people behind him, he turned around and the procession gradually disappeared in the distance, as the sun gradually set and the stars acted as a guide. --- Author-san here. I originally started this novel on another account, but lost the login information for it, so I'll be restarting this story here. Thanks for understanding! This is my first fiction, so I appreciate any and all feedback! (^^) The cover picture is by Yuji Himukai (as pointed out by Truis). I found it on the internet. Please contact me if you want to have it taken down. If anyone is interested in drawing a cover, send it to me. I'll put it up if I feel it represents the book well, with your name in the credits.
