《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."

The Divine Gemstones
Vol.1It's currently the year 3318 in Greenterra. After the great mystical war, humans had an agreement to stop making harmful chemicals for the environment. Kings and queens limited the outcome of Chlorofluorocarbons. Winters were back at their best, and summers weren’t as burning-hot anymore. Plants and trees were growing once again all over the world; the making of downtown urban cities and cars was banned; therefore, all the human-made chemical ozone depletion stopped. Consequently, allowing the planet to produce more magic; giving people and animals more magic-flow that they could use and inherit. Unfortunately, this massive increase of magic produced by the planet also awakened a slumbered entity that was sealed off millions and millions of years ago by archangels. It made a group named, 'Black Tombstone' whose objective is to kidnap people and drain them of their magic to recover the entity's power back to its prime. Many humans and other mystical creatures have been suffering by the uprising of this terrorist group. A smart guy named, 'Rukito' is caught up in all of this; he gets targeted by one of the members to die, since his parents are one of the wealthiest people in Greenterra, and one of the few that know how to work and develop magic. While this is all happening, a new member is adopted into his family, a mysterious girl named 'Kasai' that is distant and reserved is now living with him in this colossal mansion, making matters even worse. Vol.2He starts uniting a group of people to start the search for the divine gemstones, each one of them having a tragic but hopeful past. Cover made by me, here's a link for the high-resolution picture, (Was a bit lazy to fully clean up the drawing lol) (And by the way, it might just spoil juuuuust a little lol)

In the name of blood
Geoffrey Robertson, real name Alexey Barintski, has his secrets, and on top of his adventurous nature also a very positive attitude towards meat. Bloody meat. After years spent with British special forces, he is getting bored, so he is starting to look for something more interesting, something more fun. However, he gets a simple message - they need help at home. Although he has not seen his blood relatives for more than a generation, he returns to his native hills and almost dies… --- A story about werewolves and vampires. Release schedule will be random, but I will try to post at least 2 chapters a month, 2000 words per chapter on average. This is my first attempt at writing, and English is not my native language, so expect a mistake or two, or three. EDIT: the past few months of my life have been hectic and I could not write much. Nonetheless, I have the story already planned out, and will finish it sooner or later.
