《Machinarium》Chapter 8: [Leveling up]

"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."

8 107The Rebirth of a Emperor
An Emperor reaches the end of his days, exiled and living in misery in a faraway land together with his entire dynasty and some friends from his time of rule. He regrets never being able to return to his beloved country and wonders if he made the right choice by leaving his throne to avoid a massive conflict but tries to comfort himself knowing many lives were spared. As he dies however, visions of a strange future appear as if to answer his doubt, making him shed tears of remorse, for his country's fate is not a good one after him, making his end truly a miserable one. However unexpectedly, his eyes open again to a place never seen before to a people he had no recollection of, in the embrace of a woman he at first has no idea of who it was. This strange, absurd situation quickly makes him realise what just happened, he does not know how he came to grasp the situation, but something made him understand this: This isnt his world and there is no turning back, no way to see his homeland again nor his family. In this horrible realisation, he cried, much like the infant he was now, marking his rebirth to this new world, which he saw as a punishment from God for his actions. ----------- Note from author: this story is the first i ever published, so please, to anyone who takes an interest in it, have a bit of patience with me and if you can, give me a bit of good old criticism. For now i will publish small chapters for i am not very confident in this, but as i write more and gain some experience i will release longer and better ones. Also English isn't my mother language so any advice or correction is welcomed.
