That creature can not be killed by bullets or arrows. This much, Eric realized instinctively. The only way to kill should be the aura gun. However, an aura gun can not kill a creature of higher level than itself.

His return was as silent as his departure.However, that all changed when he brought out the treasure chests. “ How ? “ his grandmother breathed in, with wonder and disbelief on her face. “ The cove forming the bay is also raised in elevation, grandma. Water receded from their resting place. But … Do you know these chests ? “ he asked curiously. When he retrieved them, he thought they belonged to the game system that made him a player. “ We brought these chests with us when we escaped in the seventies. “ his grandmother told him. It seems his grandparents were residents of S-city, and they arrived here during the time of great dislocation… probably to avoid persecution. What’s even more surprising was that his grandfather retrieved a set of bronze keys from his pocket. He put it through the first chest, opened it cautiously. The entire chest was filled with pure gold bars. Eric’s eyes were dazzled. Even in the present day, gold has not depreciated much. His grandfather nonchala

Eric was innocently waiting on the platform for a subway when a hooded guy rushed past him straight onto the tracks.Eric pulled him back by instinct, but … at the last moment, the guy pivoted, flung Eric off. The strength added to Eric’s already forward motion and unstable stance, throwing Eric on the tracks, the hooded guy stood stably on the platform, watching Eric. Eric’s reflexes are still online. He got up immediately, made to climb onto the platform … He looked with wide eyes at the train rushing straight at him. The train is too near to stop.

“ Brother is an alien. That grandmother on the moon ?! Brother evicted her long ago. “ he told her. “ Really ?! “ Mimi asked in shock. “ Really ! “ Eric nodded his head with his most innocent expression. Mimi still looked unwilling. “ If you are too scared, how about your brother touching the stone along with you ? Then, brother would be teleported with you. If there’s another baby-eating grandmother on the moon, brother will throw her out. “ Eric convinced her. Mimi nodded reluctantly. She wanted to touch that stone. She was really scared she would be teleported to the moon. Eric lifted her easily onto his shoulders, then, her hand was put on his own, they both slowly touched the stone. Eric was so shocked with the result, he almost threw his sister down.

There are plenty of solar panels among the scraps. On top of them, he is going to buy new ones along with an inverter to power his grandfather’s house. From what he remembered, it is a very remote island. So much so, even these days, they had to live like primitive people. His grandmother and grandfather have electricity allowance. Getting an electricity station to their island is too expensive, so they were given an electricity subsidy by the government. Ofcourse, it is barely enough to buy and maintain a solar panel to keep a light bulb on. With what Eric had on his hand, he could probably light up their island like a christmas tree. Behind his grandmother’s back, his grandfather sent him his wishlist, along with cash. Eric noticed the machines his grandfather asked for all had something to do with his complaints last time he went. A mud crawler, so that they could drive on the mud flats easily. Iron mesh to keep out mosquitoes, and few odds and ends which are needed to repair th

There is a good reason that the filming crew chose the land besides his grandfather’s house to build their tents. The next plot was a fallen house, full of debris. After arranging rain catchers, Eric returned home, changed his clothes. When he came out, the filming crew could see his preparation. “ Grandson ! Are you going to an apocalyptic shoot out ? “ they asked humorously. “ It could very well be an apocalyptic shoot out. “ Eric answered, his voice muffled through the mask. He wore sturdy ranger boots, with leather overalls on a turtleneck. His nose is covered with a mask, his eyes are covered with sunglasses, his head is covered with a wide brim hat. The filming crew followed him. Eric first cut a giant fire break through the overgrown grass beside the fallen house. Just in time when he finished that, he retrieved water from the catchers. He poured it on the outer grass, leaving the inside dry. Then, he lit the inside on fire, stood at the entrance with the shovel and crowb

As Eric watched the eternal lightning that connected their island to the sky, he finally gave up on convincing his grandfather. Sometimes, you just have to wait for people to realize facts on their own. Worse yet, at his grandfather’s age, with valid reasons, he is more stubborn. Since they made their decision, Eric could only equip them with as many skills needed for survival as possible. The lightning made their continuing stay here uncomfortable, but they can’t go down just now. First, he needs to initiate them as players. Now that he has server chat activated, it is best if they are initiated as players. Their current talents being enhanced is more than enough to guarantee their survival and safety for the time being. It is just as well there is a tunnel from here to the dragon temple they could use. Eric took his mother down the tunnel first. Followed by mimi, and his grandparents.

The night has fallen like a wet blanket of darkness. In the deep darkness, a man is skating at top speed on sunglasses. He avoided all the obstacles easily, and made it to the only place in a fence with a hole in it. He effortlessly slipped through the fence, then entered an apartment through the backdoor. It’s Peter Ho’s apartment building. ◆◇◆A dark balloon reflecting the night sky flitted through the sky, gently sliding through the air. It arrived at the rooftop of a skyscraper, then came to a slow stop. A little girl in hot pants and a fitted black shirt jumped down from the balloon. There are holsters on her thighs, daggers on knee high boots, twin blades on her back and extendable claws on her elbows. She moved with the grace of a cat, jumping down from the building top, going floor by floor, she jumped into the third apartment from the top, and rolled into a stop, holding her gun at the ready. She looked all around, making sure no targets showed up in her map, then walked

“ What ? “ Eric thought he’s hearing auditory hallucinations. All soil on the island has been washed away ! The pier has been crushed into fertilizer , the fishing boat they have had for a mere month is twisted into a churro … they barely have a bag of rice left ! In such a scenario, the old man still wanted to live on the island ? Eric was dumbfounded. “ Grandfather, I think you do not understand ! There is no soil on the island, not even sand ! Before, we drove an ATV to ride up to the house on the plateau. Now, the same drive is impossible. The bay is still open, but … the pier is broken. The ramp we use to tow the boats through has become a cliff ! Just how do you plan to live on this island ? “ Eric was pissed. “ The bamboo grove is fine. I see it from here. “ His grandfather retorted. “ Do you want to be a panda, eating only bamboo ? In that case, sorry ! No chance ! The bamboo roots are rotting. Don’t forget, the grove has been soaked in salt water. It may look alive now

It was still raining heavily. Eric set up a tent one more time. A bigger and sturdier one - whose only disadvantage is being ugly. It’s not even fugly like a pug, it’s plain ugly like a plastic boat. Yet, it’s rain resistance is top notch, it came with a dry flooring of about a palm tall. Eric set up a water collector on one side, collecting the rainwater. At this height, they can drink it directly. His mother started cooking right away. Eric fiddled in the corner with setting up a diesel generator. His grandfather has gotten through to the old man on the island town, and informed them that they won’t need a rescue. All the same, the government is sending a medical team to check up on them. They still wore the oxygen nebulizers, but removed their life jackets. Mimi has long since came out of her child bag, and she is fast asleep in her own little bed. They all changed their clothes, had a bath, then, drank warming medicine brewed by his grandmother. The generator was up and runn
