Neanderthals' city

Unbeknownst to Sobek, the Neanderthals he had encountered lived not far from the lake, on a rather high hill that soared above all the surrounding environment. The choice of that place was purely logistical: from an elevated position it was easier to see any large predators and it was possible to establish with more confidence whether it was safe to go out or not. The perfect place, therefore, to locate a city.

The Neanderthals' city was in fact surrounded by a huge wooden palisade made up of layers and layers of logs, seven meters high and almost two meters thick. If a large carnivorous dinosaur had worked hard, it might have been able to take it down, but no predator would have been stupid enough to waste time and energy on such small preys. In addition, the Neanderthals would have bombarded it from above with spears and arrows, and perhaps even with stones, which, although not very efficient, would have annoyed and perhaps even wounded it if they had hit in the right places. Any pre

    The mythology of the Neanderthals (or at least those of that particular tribe) was quite varied. According to them above all was Eywa, the Creator Principle, an entity who had shaped everything and everyone, and that constantly reigned over the whole universe moving the sun, moon and stars in the sky and making sure that the balance between life and death wasn't affected. Below her were other supreme beings called Lords of the World, creatures halfway between the divine and the mortal world, created by Eywa at the dawn of time to rule over the elements. Probably in the Western mentality of the Earth they could have identified as spirits, angels or even demigods. There was the Lord of the Waters, the Patron of the Mountains, the Lightning Master... The Neanderthals believed that such entities incarnated themselves in the form of legendary animals (a bit like Egyptian gods or the Native American totems). The Lightning Master, for example, was pictured as an extremely large pterosaur, so

    Even though he was basically being idolized as a god, Sobek didn't notice anything.The reason was simple: the city of Thirkiom had just over ten thousand inhabitants. Furthermore, the Neanderthals had no contact with other cities: due to the large predators it had never been possible in history to establish trade routes. Even the Homo sapiens sapiens had never had contact with other tribes before the advent of firearms.As a result, the fame points Sobek had earned were just ten thousand. Perhaps he would have noticed that little change when he was still a Spinosaurus aegyptiacus, when the fame points bar peaked at one million, but now that that bar had expanded to one hundred million a change of only ten thousand points remained unnoticed.On the other hand, Sobek had better things to think about than Neanderthals. He had initially been tempted to follow their scent to see their city, but he soon dismissed that thought: he would have gained nothing from such experience. He couldn't g

    For the next days and weeks Sobek remained in that area to explore it properly. Although he could have eaten quite a lot of fishes, he hadn't seen many big carnivores. Unfortunately, the presence of the large herd of spinosaurs discouraged other predators. And since he didn't like the idea to eat his own 'family', Sobek had to settle for smaller preys, such as freshwater sharks and some dwarf crocodiles. In fact, he hadn't gotten many skill points.But just when he had started to think that staying there hadn't been such a good idea, fate came to his aid again. Or rather, it hit him. Straight to the right shoulder, and with a lot of force.Sobek was swimming placidly in the waters of the lake, watching the spinosaurs feast on nearby fishes when something hit him like a train. Sobek had been pushed at least ten meters to the side by something huge. When he recovered, he saw a giant crocodile furiously biting his neck!He had been attacked by another sarcosuchus!If they had met earlier,

    Sobek retreated to the forest and pulled a cellphone out of his inventory. He typed 'spinosaurus' into G****e and the first result he got left him speechless for a moment.The first thing that appeared was a two-hour video titled 'The little girl and the spinosaurus'!Sobek quickly scrambled and discovered that the video was nothing more than a documentary produced and directed by a certain Michael Crichton. Sobek had no idea who he was, but searching for information on Internet he discovered that he was a very famous international director and producer.Suddenly everything became clear to him: the increase in fame points was due to that documentary! A lot of people must have seen it. Even if the same rule applied to the news, namely that only those who would have fixed his existence in the heart could have provided him with fame points, a documentary was very different from an article in a scientific magazine or a television news. After this would have told the story in detail, many m

    Sobek cursed several times in his mind as he tried to move the tiny cursor to skip the commercial. When he finally did, he was so nervous that he was thankful for having something to distract himself with, or he would have had to bite into a tree trunk to let off steam.Damn commercial! Apparently the evils of the television were the same in any world in existence.The documentary resumed, and the spinosaurus was shown meekly carrying large carcasses to Jocelyne and gently pulling her down from the tree to let her eat. The narrator told how for the next few days he had done nothing but bring her the results of his hunt. "But after a little time, a new enemy arrives"With a quick cut, a huge paw banging on the ground was framed; soon after, the gigantic body of a carcharodontosaurus appeared on the screen. "A new superpredator has begun to prowl around. Almost 13 meters long and second in power only to the fearsome tyrannosaurus rex, a carcharodontosaurus is a very dangerous opponent ev

    "However, after a wait of almost nine days, the spinosaurus finally smells a familiar smell" the narrator continued. Subsequent scenes showed the spinosaurus sniffing the air and fidgeting.Jocelyne briefly recounted how the spinosaurus started acting weird and then grabbed her and carried away. In the reconstruction, his words took shape like the scenes of a film.Finally there was the long-awaited moment: the reunion of the little girl with her family. This time the reconstruction was interspersed with real scenes, shot by cameras incorporated into the vests of the soldiers in the field. At that point the narrator said something strange: "But Jocelyne's parents inadvertently make a mistake""Uh?" Sobek thought. What was the narrator saying?The reconstruction showed the spinosaurus observing the scene from behind the trees; as soon as there was an embrace, the animal got nervous and began to move forward.Cut to Max. "What for us is a demonstration of affection, for animals often it

    Sobek put the cell phone back in the [Inventory]. He couldn't be more satisfied.Beyond the excellent figure that the director had made him do, the documentary would have guaranteed him a continuous influx of fame points. Every time it would have been aired or posted on social media, someone would have seen him. And since it was the work of a famous director, it was impossible for it to disappear from the scene very quickly. As a result, the number of people who would have been interested in him would have increased a lot. Sobek was more than certain that even if he didn't do anything more he would have reached the one hundred million fame points he needed for his third evolution sooner or later.However, there was one thing that worried him. The fact that humans had baptized him 'Spinosaurus superior'.Did that mean that the names of his evolutions coincided with those that humans would have given him? In that case, did it mean that before his next evolution he would have to meet them

  • I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army   Tyrannosaurus rex

    Tyrannosaurus rex had such haughty name for a reason. Through millions of years of relentless evolution, it had reached a level that no other creature in the world could compare. It was the killer par excellence, the absolute pinnacle of the food chain.While there were larger carnivorous dinosaurs, such as the giganotosaurus, the t-rex was on a far superior level in all aspects. It possessed the best sense of smell in the animal world, surpassed only by a few vultures. Its eyesight matched, if not surpassed, those of eagles, and its hearing could sense movement miles away. Its bite was among the most powerful ever, capable of crushing a car effortlessly, and was surpassed only by the megalodon and the purussaurus. Its hind legs contained rows and rows of muscles and tendons that allowed for a fast run and its feathers made it more aerodynamic, favoring very quick sprints and runs. Its front legs, however small, were equipped with very strong hooked claws capable of holding prey. Final

    Epilogue

    It took Sobek a few moments before he realized he was back in the room where it all began. That room where time and space ceased to exist, and where everything and nothing seemed to have changed at the same time. He already knew where he had to go; walking through the infinitely large (or perhaps infinitely small) room, in a few minutes (or perhaps a few centuries, who knows) he reached the familiar armchair on which was seated a woman with white skin and light hair.God didn't even seem to move since she sent him to Eden. Even her expression didn't seem to have changed at all. She was still the same, beautiful and terrible at the same time, whose gaze was both magnetic and loving on him. “Welcome back, son,” she greeted him in her crystal clear voice.Sobek advanced on her. This time there wasn't an armchair waiting for him, but a large mattress wide enough to allow him to lie down. She lay back on it and gazed intently at God. Even now, after he'd grown i

    Death of a legend

    On the continent of Maakanar, near a river that was once a typical spinosaurus nesting place, something immense could be seen. A huge creature was lying on its belly, but nevertheless it was so tall that its dorsal sail towered over the surrounding masts.Sobek was now thirty-three years old. To say he had grown into a behemoth was an understatement: he now measured 150 meters from head to tail and reached 45.6 meters in height. Even without activating the mutation he was now larger than Godzilla: the gigantic atomic reptile was a tiny lizard compared to him. All kaiju would be small compared to him. Even King Ghidorah would have been forced to acknowledge its superiority.In the last five years he had hardly moved. After the death of his last loyalist he returned to his birthplace and settled there. He ate what was provided to him from the [Personal Manger] and drank the water from the river. Otherwise, he remained calm, warming himself in the sun or admiring the star

    The last fight

    After a few days Nefertiti settled at the lake together with her father and her last remaining uncle. With the help and indications of Sobek she built a comfortable nest and there she laid her egg.Thus began the brood. The female spinosaurus never moved from above her little egg, keeping it constantly warm. Sobek and Buck brought her food and water. When Nefertiti was hot, Sobek used her huge wing as a parasol and Buck fanned her with his tail. In the rare moments when it was cold, the two of her huddled to help her warm up.That routine went on for three months. Finally, at the end of the third month, a familiar clicking sound came from under Nefertiti's paws.The female spinosaurus reared up and looked down. A small crack was opening on the egg. With a smile she moved from above it. The crack widened more and more and finally a large piece of egg broke off, showing a lively green eye that stared intently at Nefertiti.“Hello, baby. I'm your mothe

    The first true hunt

    Time had passed again. Sobek couldn't even figure out how much time had actually passed now. One year? Two? Maybe three? He didn't know.After his retirement, Sobek had gone deep into the forest of Maakanar. It was hard for him to move his huge body through the trees and very often ended up destroying them: his passage was evident as a trail of uprooted trunks was always behind him. He had moved permanently to the lake where he had met Buck and where he had established his first army. And he hadn't gone there alone.Carnopo and Buck had joined him just a month after his departure. They, too, had decided they'd had enough and abandoned their roles entirely. After all, in the new world there was no longer a need for either an army commander or one of the shock legion. Now there was peace, and the old war veterans had no reason to try to find their place in their world. So they had decided to do what they had always done: follow their pack leader.The trio spent th

    Passing to the next generation

    Another year had passed. In Sobek's eyes, time seemed to have begun to flow more rapidly. The months and weeks all passed almost the same and in a flash the morning turned into evening.Humanity had continued its advance. By now, Aphrodites had been fully colonized. Whole cities had sprung up on it and millions of settlers had begun to live there. Davis had now reached more than a billion inhabitants and Hermes now owned thousands of mining establishments.Thanks to teleportation technology it was so advanced that traveling between planets was even easier than going from one city to another. Since energy and material consumption were now no longer a concern thanks to solar panels on Hermes and mining plants on asteroids, everyone had a portable teleportation device. By now, being hired to work a mine on an asteroid was no different than being hired to work at the local convenience store.Colonies on the moons of Leviathan and Behemoth had multiplied, providing e

    More time, more changes. In just one year, many things had changed.Nefertiti had assumed control of the entire astrophysics division of the dinosaur pack, effectively acting as acting pack leader for them. After the first shared mission, she had begun to promote more policies of integration and union between humans and animals. She had facilitated interspecies interspace operations, sending animals and humans to work together in the new worlds to be colonized. Furthermore, there was still much to colonize, as human attention was slowly shifting beyond the outer Solar System to the dwarf planets and comets of the Oort Cloud.The work was not cheap and with it the possibilities of working together. With the Dyson Sphere nearing completion, energy was no longer an issue. After determining which moons to colonize, the Eden Union had begun an intensive mining program in the asteroids of the main belt in order to be able to build huge lenses to capture the sunlight and also

    Path of the giant

    One more year, more innovations. The more time passed, the more progress seemed to accelerate. It was like a speeding train that multiplied its speed every second: first slow, then faster and faster, until it turned into a giant projectile.Sobek knew that progress was bound to accelerate more and more, after all it was his nature. For each new discovery, countless doors open. And every door leads to other doors. This was the nature of progress. It was no coincidence that it took humanity less than two hundred years to go from horses to aircraft capable of leaving the orbit of their home planet.He recalled that on Earth, where he came from, progress had become so fast in the 21st century that it was enough to be born even a generation later or further back to find oneself in a completely different world. While in 1990 the main communication system was the satellite phone, in 2020 people used social networks for the most disparate things. While in 1990 movies were watc

    Science is eternal

    More time had passed. This time it was a year… or maybe a year and a half? I don't know. Not that it mattered much, actually.The world's attention to the inner solar system was gradually waning. Now that three planets had been terraformed, even if one of them still wasn't enough, and Hermes had become a stable colony that was continuously producing large panels of glass that joined in the orbit of the Sun to form the Dyson Sphere, the humanity was beginning to anticipate new challenges. From the inner solar system it was time to move to the outer solar system.Although some colony outposts were already present on some moons of Behemoth, they could not be defined as true colonies. However, now that energy consumption was no longer a problem thanks to the Dyson Sphere, which although not completed already released enormous amounts of energy, the Eden Union decided to start an exploration program of the entire outer solar system, or at least of the space between B

    Giant of the skies

    Two more years had passed. The advance of humanity towards the stars continued inexorably.The hypotheses of the scientists had proved to be correct: using a combination of gravity control technology and energy obtained from the Dyson sphere, although still incomplete, they had managed to accelerate the rotation of Aphrodites. The planet was slowly accelerating, though not too fast. There was generally talk of an hour each week. At this speed there was no risk of destroying the infrastructure already present on the planet. Yes two years, the rotation period had gone from 2082 hours to 1978 hours. Continuing at this rate, it was expected to reach 24 hours in 'just' another 38 years.Once this process was completed, the huge orbiting mirrors could finally be taken off. The day/night cycle would no longer be artificially determined and there would no longer be the risk that something would go wrong due to the impact of a micrometeorite. In addition, the accelerated rotati
