The Red Planet was unlike anything they had ever seen before. As they emerged from the giant gates of the human settlement, all clad in a body suit. Their senses were immediately overwhelmed by the alien nature of the world before them. The ground beneath their feet was a deep, crimson hue, vast stretches of red sand and rock stretching as far as the eye could see. Massive jagged mountains rose in the distance, their dark silhouettes outlined against an eerie sky that was not the familiar blue of Earth, but a deep, swirling red tinged with violet streaks. The atmosphere was strange and oppressive, a blend of gases that were thicker and more difficult to breathe, though the suit they wore filtered the air just enough to keep them alive.The air itself had a metallic tang to it, almost as if iron dust filled the skies. A faint red haze floated just above the surface, shifting and swirling with every gust of wind, which blew with a force that sent the red sands skittering in chaotic pa
"Hey what are you doing?" Rina walks out of the tent and what hit her was the aroma of a well roasted meat. Vondrel didn't reply her, but she continued walking and sat opposite him. "Here have some" He passed a piece for her.She looked at the meat trying to inspect it, but the aroma kept drawing her, making her salivate. "Stop checking and dive in already " Vondrel said after noticing that she was hesitating. "You can as well just take a bite to check how it tastes" he added. As if she was waiting for his permission, she took a bite almost immediately."Hmm...." Rina hummed and began to consume the meat like an hungry beast."So how does it ta...." Vondrel was about asking how the meat tasted, before stopping half way. He was surprised at the speed at which Rina ate the meat, just for him to check the piece he is smoking and raise his head to inquire if she likes the taste, she already consumed the meat. The moist dripping down her arm as she licked it off with her tongue.'What
The tentacled beast ate the meal it brought with it even though it was injured, it decided to consume it's last meal which is Vondrel.The beast lifted Vondrel effortlessly and squeezed him with such force that the few remaining bones in his body cracked and shattered. Some splintered into his kidney, puncturing it, while others drove into his heart. His entire body was broken, and jagged bones pierced through his skin. Vondrel couldn't scream or groan; the agony was too overwhelming, paralyzing his senses.All he could think about was the desperate wish for the plan to stop."Is this really how I am meant to die??' Vondrel wondered, his mind drifting through the haze of torment. 'Why is my life being cut short again and again?? My mother's smile, my siblings, my dad, my friends…..this is where it all ends.'In the midst of his suffering, a faint smile crept across his face as these final thoughts passed through his mind. Vondrel felt his existence slipping, but deep within, every ce
"Where is the road leading outside?" Vondrel asked"Use your full speed and scale the wall" the system answered "Hmm...how am i meant to pull that off ?" Vondrel complained. Seeing how high the walls were."Stay right there and expect miracle. Ahh i blame the world for punishing me with this dry head of an host" the system exclaimed. Vondrel...."_"Vondrel made a stance and immediately bolted forward with immense speed making dust and the rocks and where he was previously standing to be blasted upward.'Swoosh' In the blink of an eye, he scaled the wall with astonishing speed, his body moving with the grace of a predator. His hands gripped the rough surface as his feet found perfect footholds, allowing him to ascend effortlessly. For a fleeting moment, it seemed like he had mastered the impossible, defying gravity with ease. But just as quickly as he reached the top, his lack of control betrayed him.His momentum carried him forward without precision, and before he could steady him
'Hissss'The huge legged tortoise hissed. It then faced Vondrel and snarled at him, identifying him as a threat."I had no choice but to kill them, that was the main reason we are all here in the first place, and about the tentacled beast well, i just paid it back. Everything that dies in my hand vanish from existence." Vondrel said not knowing he actually growled like a true beast and he was exuding a domineering and predatory aura. "Is he an hybrid?""Did he just grolwed?""He might be a tribrid, that explains his inhumane strength ""Strange""Vanishing from existence, what a weird ability " Were the thoughts running through the students head.The tortoise seeing Vondrel ignoring him, immediately charged at him. Tortoise are meant to be sluggish but with even the hugeness of the legged tortoise it was still very fast.'Vooom'It appeared in Vondrel's front in a curled up form and tried to bash him with its shell.'Woosh' Vondrel narrowly avoided the attack and sent his fist for
"Vondrel!!!" Rina shouted.Unable to suppress her emotions any longer, she ran with speed before jumping on him. "it's really you, you are alive, i thought we lost you" she said while droplets of water could be seen at the corner of her eyes. Everyone..... "_""Do they have a connection before?" "Are they acquaintances?""Where does Rina know this strong guy from? ""Wow they are so close for her to jump on him that way"" How does this unknown strong guy, knows the beautiful ice princess."Multiple thoughts and murmurs was running in the minds and mouths of the students there."Hey are you not going to allow us hug our brother?" Sam voiced out, seemly waiting for Rina to let go.Vondrel dropped Rina whose face was bright red and flushed, she was feeling embarrassed and shy, she couldn't understand what prompted her to act that way to someone she rarely know. She just had to follow her instinct. ' I really did that ' she thought, feeling more embarrassed at her action.The friends
The hunt continued the next day, it was a walk in the pack by the two groups joined together, they were able to locate beasts easily with the help of one of Vondrel. Due to one of his innate abilities, he was able to sniff the air and locate where other beasts could be found. Once they come across groups of beasts they choose themselves to take care of the beasts, one group will take care of a selected numbers, while the second group will take care of the other. "Should we pay the eyes eaters a visit? " Sam asked during their recuperation."That is a great idea" a guy which goes by the name Mikel said with enthusiasm. "Are you sure, they actually said they were plenty and overwhelming, i don't want to get caught up in it" another guy voiced out, fright evident in his word. A foreign energy seeped into the environment, everyone could feel it and they all felt fear as if death was hovering over them. They all stared in a certain direction.Vondrel was exuding a foreign energy from h
