Shian didn't realize what was going on until he had fallen through the portal.
"Shit. I'm so dead, did that asshole not see where he was going." Shian didn't know what to do. He got up to have a good look of his surroundings.The first thing that came into his view was the extremely bright orange light that was immediately filtered out by his vision and the slightly sandy wind blowing on his face that was unlike anything he had ever experienced in his life.The ground was completely arid with nothing but orange rocks covering it, there were various cracks in the ground and small rocky hills in the distance with the abnormal shapes of semicircles.Orange glowing balls covered some of the orange sky that Shian could not tell were either moons or stars. Out of the seemingly completely dry dead ground, grew purple flowers of dazzling beauty, its deep purple glow very profound, some of them growing straight out of the tiny cracks on the ground.Shian turned around frantically, hoping to find a base where he could go to and head back to earth, but unfortunately, he found none.__________Back on earth"Did you do it?" A muscular boy with thick white hair asked a man who walked into an alley where he was."Of course I did, no one even noticed a thing" The man replied.As the man spoke, his skin shifted, it changed color and texture, all his wrinkles disappeared, he became taller and thinner, his hair changed color and length, it changed from brown to blonde, his clothes weren't spared from the changed.His whole body changed from the man who pushed Shian through the portal to one of the boys who followed Seth."Let's see how he will evade that now" Druber said with a cold smile as the trio walked away.__________Shian could be seen walking on the arid and dusty ground with blood dripping down his left arm."Demons. Those spiders are demons" Shian said with bated breath.As he said that, he heard a clattering sound behind him, something seemed to be closing in on him as the sound kept getting louder."Why won't this spiders just leave me alone"He knew what was making the clattering sounds and summoned a weapon.A long scythe weaved itself out of nothing into his hands. The scythe had a long brown handle, while the blade was black with a jagged end. It was one of the basic tier weapons that Shian had.Beast equipments boosted the users agility, strength, defense and stamina, depending on the tier of the weapon and the quality of the equipment.Right now the scythe Shian was wielding boosted his agility, strength and stamina.He watched and waited for the spiders to show up. The spiders didn't make him wait for long as a one meter tall spider, with eight red glowing eyes and eight long powerful limbs that looked to be made of metal jumped at him from his side. Shian slashed at the spider, severing it cleanly in half.Killing that spider had triggered the other spiders to attack. Immediately they attacked, all hell was let loose.Shian hacked, whacked and slashed repeatedly. The spiders kept pouring out of wherever they came from. Shian didn't know how long it went on, but eventually he prevailed.He stood in the midst of the dead beasts with his scythe in his hands and blood pouring down his body. The black blood of the beasts and his own red blood mixed together created a gruesome wallpaper.Shian bent down to collect the beast crystals in the beasts, he replaced his war scythe with a short dagger and began working.After a while, Shian was done with gathering the crystals. As he turned around to leave, the ground rumbled.He picked up speed and began to run, not willing to face the abomination that made the ground quake.After reaching a good distance he stopped to catch his breath, he was really lucky to not have encountered any powerful beasts based on the fact that he was in a red portal, he saw a cave ahead and walked towards it, after confirming that there was no danger, he lay down on his back and brought out a pillow from his space ring."It's a good thing I brought this." Shian said to himself. "You never know when you might need it."Soon he was fast asleep.__________Back where he had massacred the spiders, a beast was feasting on the dead bodies of the spiders, it chewed on both the flesh and metal-like chitin of their legs.While Shian had struggled to even scratch their metal-like limbs, the beast easily broke them between its maws.The beast was black-skinned in colour with thick black fur covering it's body, it was ripped and walked on all fours. It had razor-sharp fangs on its snout and two pairs of narrow yellow eyes and most importantly it was gargantuan in size, so large that it could rival a one story building.It devoured all the carcasses and licked its mouth.The ear of the beast twitched, it sniffed the air and turned to the west where Shian had headed and began to walk in that direction.__________Meanwhile, Shian was sleeping peacefully without a care in the world.A mound in a corner of the cave suddenly began to move, it circled him slowly a few times then began to move towards him with frightening speed, when it got close to him, the creature in the mound jumped out and opened it's mouth to reveal circular rows of sharp tooths. It bit down with force and then..........blackblood splattered everywhere.Shian had already noticed the movement from the beginning and raised his guard up, waiting for the perfect moment to deal with whatever was stalking him. He had spent most of his life living in the outskirts where beasts were much, so it was hard for someone or something to sneak up on him.Just like that, the hunter had been hunted.Shian deemed that place unsafe and began his journey once again. He placed the pillow back into the space ring, he retrieved the crystal from the dead beast, cleaned the sword he used to kill the beast, got up and left the cave.2 hours laterShian had walked until his legs were hurting, he sat down on the dry ground and brought out a flask of cool water that he had stored in the ring."Come to think of it, I've not really thought about how I got here. Sure I know that that man pushed me in here accidentally, but the place he was headed was weird, if I wasn't in the way, he would have walked right into the portal." Shian spoke to himself. He thought out loud in hopes of solving the mystery easily. He thought deeply for a while before eventually coming to a conclusion."That's it. He must have been sent, but who could have sent someone to kill me. I barely know anyone, or could it be that dude called Druber because I remember he said that 'I'm dead'.""No he can't be the one." Shian said while shaking his head, but the more he thought of it, the more it seemed like the truth.Just then the ground began to rumble, much more fiercer and louder than the previous time. Shian scanned the area and saw a black dot closing in on him with blurring speed."I knew this was going to happen but not this soon. Well, it looks like I'll need to fight for my life."Shian was tensed, he knew he will eventually face a high tier beast, but he wasn't expecting it to be this soon."If it's an intermediate tier beast, I can defeat it if I use all the weapons in my arsenal, but if it's on a higher tier, I don't think I have any other choice but to run.The black dot kept getting bigger and the ground quaked more fiercely."If only this beast didn't make the ground shake so much, I could have escaped."Or so he thought, if Shian knew that the beast had smelt him from afar, he will not be having those thoughts.Shian waited with his trusty weapon in hand —his scythe. He steadied his breath to calm himself down and vested his armour.A grey breastplate appeared on his body, a pair of blue gauntlets covered his hands with an opening for his fingers so that only his palm and wrist were covered, a pair of dun colored boots that reached his shin appeared on his foot and last but not least, a red helmet that covered his whole head with a T-shaped opening for hi
Shian began to convulse terribly, his blood which was splattered everywhere began to flow in reverse, his bones snapped back into position, which was a very painful process. Black blood began to flow out of his mouth and the pores of his skin, his eyes turned bloodshot and he coughed violently.A grey aura began to seep out of his body gradually, then abruptly, it burst out with power, ravaging the surroundings and destroying everything within it. The wolf sensing danger turned around to flee but a suction force pulled it towards Shian.The wolf was using all the strength it could muster to run, but it wasn't making any difference.As it was pulled back, it left a trail on the ground, it's sharp claws dug into the metal floor but the suction force disavailed it of that advantage and it was finally pulled away.The wolf was sucked into the area and devoured by the aura Shian was releasing. Shian's eyes which were bloodshot previously were now glowing with power. Shian didn't know wha
Shian left the room and made a mental note of the location. He walked out of the building and chose a direction to go. As he walked he reminisced about his life with his father and neighbours, unknown to him as he thought about them, a smile crept up his face. He thought about how they all took care of each other like one family, but it all got ruined for him when his father died, the smile in his face slowly faded and was replaced with a frown."That's why I need to get stronger, so I will be able to take care of myself and those around me. I will awaken my ability no matter what and become the strongest human in the world, or even the universe."As Shian finished his thoughts he looked ahead of him and saw a lake in the distance, he rushed towards it and got down on his knees and began to gulp mouthfuls of water. He hadn't realized that he was that thirsty until he saw the water and after drinking to his fill, he brought out his flask and refilled it.He took off his amour and cloth
Shian began to kill beasts with more fervor. After witnessing a beast eat all the crystals he had saved for opening the portal, he was extremely annoyed which lead him to almost double his kill count. If Shian could kill two beasts in three minutes, now he could kill four beasts in four minutes. Shian's main aim to enter a beast realm was to get high tier crystals in order to use them to forge a new set of beast equipments. He also planned to sell some crystals in order for him to have some money with him. Shian had gathered enough crystals and was heading back to the base, he placed the crystal in the compartment of the portal and closed the lid. He turned it on and waited, the blue glow in the portal intensified, Shian was about to go through it when the glow dimmed down. Shian quietly went to a corner and sat down, he was seriously depressed, the crystals were not enough to power the portal. Shian was tired and he had several injuries on his body that were struggling to heal. He
Shian waited for some minutes to gather his energy before getting up. He studied the dead rhino at his side, poking random places at intervals, he went round the rhino but didn't move close to the bite mark on its neck, he felt that of he touched it he would die instantly. After scrutinizing the rhino enough, he produced a dagger from his space ring and began to cut in between the armor-plated skin of the beast. After an hour of arduous struggle, he finally got to the core of the beast and saw a massive crystal the size of his head glowing brightly. Shian was mesmerized, he had never seen anything so breathtaking in his life. While he was looking at it, a fight was happening inside him, he was resisting the urge to grab the crystal simply because of its beauty, but his rational self knew better that if he touched the crystal, the system that was synchronizing with him, will synchronize completely and he didn't want to know what will happen if it did, so Shian did what he had been do
Shian lay down on the floor to rest, then remembered that he had to hunt for crystals to power the portal and return back to earth, he sat there for a while, too lazy to get up and hunt beasts.He soon got up to go and gather crystals but returned later to rest with nothing in his hands. He got up again to go and get crystals and once again but returned with nothing, this continued on for weeks without Shian noticing anything wrong with his actions, albeit each time he returned he always had one thought. 'I went outside for a reason right, well, I'll think about it later'.Shian walked out of the base, his scythe in hands, with the intent to complete his mission. As he walked towards the beasts in the distance, his mind began to wander, he thought of irrelevant things and soon found himself walking back to the base while thinking.'What the Fuck did I come out to do!!!'Shian was getting angry but didn't know why. He walked briskly back to the base and entered an empty room, he slamme
Shian stood there with his bruised and battered body staring at the moving rock. The giant head revealed itself, four tortoise like arms burst out from four sides of the rock. A ceature that looked like a tortoise made out of uneven orange rocks scrutinized him briefly, before turning around and walking away. Shian heaved a sigh of relief and sat down, he was relieved of the tension that had built up in him in that short moment. For a second, he thought he was going to fight with his life on the line again, but when the beast turned around and left, he suddenly felt weak and fell on his butt.Not long after that encounter, he felt a vibration in the ground and the sky turn dark, he looked up and saw a giant circluar foot coming down on him, if he lingered any longer, he would be crushed into an ugly mush in no time.Shian picked himself up and assessed the situation, he chose a direction that could lead him faster out of the area of impact of the giant foot and ran with all his might,
Shian swung his scythe wildly, severing and dissecting several beasts at the same time, he tried his best not to move his legs too much because of the pain that might distract him, but some beasts unknowingly forced him to, and those beasts... He gave them a very cruel death. A beast charged at him with its horns, aiming to gore him to death, Shian jumped to the side and avoided it but his legs were strained in the process.Shian gritted his teeth and gave the beast a threatening stare, if stares could kill, the beast would have died a dozen times already. The beast felt a shiver run down its spine, it ignored the threatening gaze of Shian and charged at him again. Shian who was slashing at a beast suddenly stopped, caught the horns of the beast charging at him and snapped them, the beast wailed but it was short-lived as Shian stabbed the beast to death with its own horns and then...he smiled. 'Have a taste of your own medicine' He thought coldly.The beast he had neglected to kill s
