《The Way Back Home》The Way Back Home: Chapter 18

===================
Waiting for them to leave might not be the best decision after all. The Duram he observed were still grazing for eternity as if it was their last day on this world, whatever this world was called.
Thanks to them taking their fucking time grazing, he was forced to eat one ration instead of the freshly cooked meat. Since he had no time to test the inventory's features, he didn't know whether it had freshness preservation. Hunting the two-horned wolves? Ha! Why would he if he lacked information about them?
Moments ago he got attacked for letting his guard down. It was miracle that he somehow fooled the lizard, but it wouldn't happen the second time! To attack enemies, he must know both side's strength.
Ivan took a sip from his water skin. Like a hawk, his eyes never left their target.
Damn it, just leave already! Ivan groaned, feeling annoyed laying prone and watching some dumb cows eating grass.
To him, time was as valuable as precious metals. Time dictated his destiny, his life and death. Not being able to locate a safe spot before sunset spelt doom.
Finally!
The herds of Duram slowly returned to the forest. The thumps of their footsteps were heavy and powerful just like a steel forging machine, and they headed for his direction. The ground underneath him trembled as they plodded past him. The adults clearly were aware of his whereabouts, but decided to ignore him.
Ivan couldn't stop shaking. His heartbeat was uncontrollable and his breathing shallow. The thunderous footsteps passed him and disappeared into the forest for the reason unknown. When the sounds disappeared completely, he found the courage to move his body. He was powerless under their powerful gaze, like an insect caught in a spiderweb.

Slowly he stood and walked towards the specific location in his doodle. The tall grass felt nice to his hands and the serene green colour radiated peace. This place was a haven in this hellish forest.
Far in the distance he saw another Duram herds returning to the forest, but beyond that he could see nothing but jungle and mountain range.
This looks like the place.
He remembered one of the Duram eating something over here. Crouching, he groped around among the tall grass to find... a plant with two wide leaves.
What is this? Is this edible?
It had no particularly strong smell and looked normal, just like any other leaf on a tree.
All of a sudden everything clicked.
The Duram survived on this plants and they willfully walked a long distance to consume this. This, whatever this plant was, depended on sunlight to grow as opposed to mushrooms that did not need light to grow.
Alright! With this I can tame them.
Ivan gathered more and reluctantly returned to the forest, whilst being haunted by a nagging thought.
Why would they travel so far and then come back to the forest?

Crimson Pervert
Markus gets - quite literally - thrown into an RPG Fantasy world. Casually gaining game-breakingly great power is the very first thing of course, but afterwards travelling the world, building a harem and having plain fun is on the agenda. Note: No room to hide the fact that this is heavily inspired by the "Death March" web novel. I will give it my own touch by not having a Japanese-ish main character (Japan is cool and everything, but why have a harem if you never ever do something "H" with them?). Everything (characters, story, etc) is basically my creation, but I consider it a re-think of the original, so I can neither call it an "Original" nor a "Fan Fic". Don't expect it to be overly innovative. I will add an 18+ warning as soon as something like that happens, the first chapter just has a bit of undramatic blood. Comments welcome.

Tales of the Old World Demon Lord
1984 had indeed come, however it was 100 years late. In 2084 a man named [Sovereign] had taken control of the entire globe and the destiny of Humanity itself was in his hands. Many called him evil, perhaps he was, but Sovereign believed that he was cultivating the future of humanity; he knew that if Humanity continued on its current trajectory it would not last. However his plans came to an abrupt end when he was tragically murdered by his closest confidante. For a time after that the world finally found peace as their evil overlord had been overthrown but as Sovereign had predicted the world indeed came to an end. Humanity had returned to its old ways, they reconstructed borders, created separations known as 'countries' and in the end without unification and a single future, war had once again engulfed the world. Slowly as it choked on its own ineptitude the humans killed themselves off as their resources depleted and the planet was made uninhabitable. However this was not the end of the story for Sovereign, but a new beginning. Born again in a world of swords and sorcery he quietly evaluates the mettle of these new humans. Should they not come to meet his standards then 'Sovereign' would also be reborn. "To the primitive fools who believe magic reigns supreme, allow me to demonstrate the might of the old world technology."Arc 1: Kenesis Enhancement Project/SovereignArc 2: Human Immortalization Project/Nemesis Arc 3: The Skyfall Project/Gungnir
