The weight and smell of the predator was quite familiar to Damien. He had hesitated for a while to figure out what was happening, but then the predator kept digging its claws into his face. Damien didn't care much about how disfigured his face would look, he knew that he had the system medic to resort to. His closed eyes stole chance at vision and then he saw who was on top of him. It was at that moment that he realised that he didn't need much strength to hurl the predator away from himself. He grabbed the predator by both front limbs, jumped on his feet and began to swing it to the left and right over and over again till he had had enough. He could had hurled it into the far corner of the forest but decided to drop it on the earth instead. The predator tried to get back on its feet immediately but fell back down. It kept falling over and over again in attempt to balance itself. It was obvious the swinging had taken a toll on it. Damien looked away to the side. When he looked bac
EXCHANGE ONE SYSTEM GEM FOR A SWORD. Damien was quick to make a decision. At that thought, a sword grew out of his hand; he didn't have to bring the system up or browse through the system store to lay his hand on the sword. He turned cautiously in the circle where the four creatures had grounded and encircled him.He wasn't sure of what to do yet, but he knew that he couldn't keep standing there without choosing a decision. The four creatures were not making any move. Damien wanted to be done with this already. He had his mind getting ideas at that moment. At once he yelled,"Die!!!"He twirled his body in several directions, rolling and rolling until he had landed blows on each of the four creatures. He dropped back on one of his knees after the contacts, breathing heavily, his face to the earth. But then he felt something odd happening around him. He was expecting the creatures to drop or screech at the contacts of the sword, but nothing came. When he was about to raise his he
Damien almost lost it. It was as though his brain was on a fritz, as though he had leased the conscious state of his mind. It was too much for him process at that moment. He had no idea how to wrap this around his head. He had no idea what meaning to read to it. But as obvious and glaring as the fact was, he had just watched as four heads grew out of the necks of the Rumlans. And it happened in the blink of an eye. Damien saw the process of the germination. It was like a dead sprouting out of the mud, into a fine sturdy tree with edible fruits on it. And as if that was not enough, after he had destroyed the Rumlans with his superpower, they germinated again. He didn't know what to call them. Whether a creature or a plant.The Rumlans retained the former positions, standing there like they were about few moments. They wore no precise reaction writing on their faces, neither did they make a move to leave that spot. Damien had no idea what to do or how to address this situation. If h
Damien wasn't sure of what thoughts to nurse. There were so many things happening in his mind. So many things he wished he had answers to. As much as he was trying not to overthink things, yet he did know that he couldn't ignore these glaring facts. One thing to think was that... he took a pause. If he was really to nurse the thoughts, then they were couple things to put into consideration. But the most important of these was the fact that himself and Der still had a score to settle. Of course he remembered vividly that Der promised to come for him. Which might be what the wolf had really come to do? But with the cannibals?!!!To some extent, it was reasonable to Damien that the wolf had come to fight him. But again, the wolf was leading the cannibals?!! Damien couldn't wrap his head around it. He didn't know what meaning to make of it. The last time he checked, the wolf was never on good terms with the Cannibals. They never got along well. And now to see that he was leading all th
YOU DON'T THINK I'LL ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, DO YOU?Damien looked around to see where Der was. He couldn't see with his natural sight, so he made his eyes glow. Doing that made it quite easy for his vision to pierce through even the darkest part of the island. And behind a cluster of shrubs, he saw the wolf peeking. "That crazy fool."Damien didn't want her to hear that. She could only hear his thoughts from distance. I THOUGHT YOU WERE NOT --He couldn't hold unto the thoughts for long when the strange activities from around him knocked him back to reality. About a minute ago, when he had given the cannibals the instruction to drag him out of the circle, the cannibals had tried immediately but where knocked back. Damien who had anticipated that wasn't really moved. Truthfully speaking, he wasn't really banking on what the Cannibals could do. He neither expected the wolf to do anything either. He was just trolling everyone. But he knew what he wanted. He wanted a space to think, y
The cannibals kept on carrying him away. He should stop them and figure out what just happened. He had just shut his eyes for a sheer moment and before he opened it, the magic had happened. At first when he didn't see the Rumlans, he didn't allow himself to be swept off his feet. He knew it was a matter of time before they germinated. But then, the cannibals had broken the barrier and carried him out of the space?Though the fact was glaring to him, yet he didn't want to accept it. He wasn't even making an attempt to accept it. The only thought thay kept replaying in his mind was,IS THAT IT? DID THEY REALLY GET RID OF THE RUMLANS?Those were the obvious questions to ask. But he couldn't get an answer to either of the questions. "Stop! Stop!!!"He raised his voice and the cannibals halted. They had no idea why he had just ordered them to stop. Damien didn't think he could be quiet any longer. He wanted to really get to the root of this. Another thing which was puzzling was the in
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? wasn't really the question Damien found himself desperate to ask. Instead, he was more of being puzzled by the fact that the strange man appeared out of nowhere to assist him, and get him out of the situation? Help him solve the problem?Damien couldn't help but wonder how indestructible these Rumalns were. Because if they weren't, what would had made such a man appear out of nowhere to render help?He recalled the numbers of creatures which he had fought with an killed. Even when he had an encounter with the Ljorde while returning with the girls to Vegas in the yacht, the man didn't show up. But this time?Though Damien knew that he was actually avoiding the most important question, yet he wanted to feed his curious mind to stupor. Though he was yet to make words out of his thoughts, but his eyes were speaking an epistle. He looked lost and helpless. He wanted to do so many things and say so many things but he just couldn't find his voice. He wished he could
There was so much for Damien to process. At the end of the day, there was always so much he found himself worried about. His dilemma at that moment was seeking which of the troubles of his heart to elevate at the expense of the others. THE SYSTEM CLEANING FUNCTIONS?That was the nearest thing to the thoughts which kept choking him. He couldn't help but wonder that of all the skills and powers he had acquired, he would have to resort to the cleaning system function? Something that wasn't actually a skill?He didn't know what to wrap his head around. As much as he wanted to keep himself worried about the cleaning function talk, he quickly recalled something else,DER. His heart missed a beat when he recalled what he had just watched happen to the wolf. There was no way he could be sure that the wolf was fine. He hated to think that she---NO, SHE IS STRONGER THAN THAT. He nodded actively. He didn't want to overthink things, though that seemed like the only thing which he could do pas
