Even though he was practically 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 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 gain nothing from that experience
For the next days and weeks Sobek remained in the area. 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 e
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 tell the story in detail, many mor
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 to bite into a tree trunk to let off steam. Damn commercial! Apparently the evils of television were the same in any world of any size. 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 even fo
"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 ofte
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 be aired or posted on social media, someone would see it. 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 reach 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 t
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. Fina
With that single battle, Sobek had resolved all his doubts.Even though he already knew it, it was a great satisfaction to be able to take down a tyrannosaurus. Watching the predator try in vain to bite him was something truly rewarding! Its bite hadn't even tickled him. How many people could say they felt nothing when a thirteen meters long tyrannosaurus bit them?Now he could say with certainty that the title 'apex superpredator' was not fake. He had truly become the absolute pinnacle of the food chain.But what made him most happy was realizing that [Linguistics] hadn't bothered him. Even though he had heard that dying tyrannosaurus begging its brother to escape, he hadn't felt the slightest pity for it. In his head there was nothing but pride in completing the kill.Being a spinosaurus had really turned his heart to stone. He didn't know if this was due to his nature or if all his adventures had tempered him, but he felt absolutely nothing in killing
