2025-02-20 20:17:55I should mention the date. About a month has passed. The attack happened on 16 April. Today is 23 of May. A little more than a month.
But everyone is gone. Do I have to count? It could be done with the phones. So let's not worry about that.
Hello, this is Clive Belmont. I am departing from the capital today to head south. I want to see the sea. So I am taking a bike and a few necessities.
My partner is my dog Hazel whom I found on the way to the capital. She really is smart. Helping me always.
It's May. So it should be summer. But since the war, the climate has changed.
Seasons are nonexistent. Summer and winter are all we have left. But for these two months we get a spring like season.
It isn't that hot or cold during the day. But it gets cold at night.
I have already left the city and passing through the grasslands.
Hazel is with me. I have attached a carrier at the side of the bike. She is sitting there.
I think with this speed, I can reach the sea in 4 days.
This country is quite big.
I have been unable to concentrate. I am driving in a daze. If not for Hazel, I would have crashed already.
I stop the bike and get off.
I am currently a little away from my town Daedalus.
I should make a stop at that town.
Even if I am like this I should say one last goodbye to that town.
Even then, I really can't think of anything that could even remotely be called as fun.
I look at Hazel who is standing beside me.
Thinking back, this is a little away from the place where we first met.
I think we should pay a respect to her previous master.
I ask her,
"Should we go and pay our respects to your master?"
I don't know if I am right or not but she nodded in disagreement.
"What? Don't want to?"
She nodded again.
Probably doesn't want to remember her previous master.
This is supposed to be a slow life story.
But the pace is a little too slow.
The author has lost his drive.
Do your best author-san.
I say this cheer the author.
I am thinking of just sleeping.
A good nights sleep will help me clear my mind.
So I get on my bike. Only a few hours away from Daedalus.
So I step on the gas. Hazel is still with me.
Can't abandon her. I mean, in this whole wide world, the only human who is me should have a companion.
She is doing a splendid job.
I drive straight and fast. We reach Daedalus by evening.
I still have my apartment key with me.
I didn't check it out last time.
So I have to check whether that is still in one piece or not.
I drive straight to my home.
The road is perfectly clear. No debris and dead bodies found.
And I look at a building. Only 4 story high.
I lived on the third floor.
The building is standing. Probably because the entire building was empty.
That's a relief.
"Let's go, Hazel." I tell her.
I parked the bike in the garage and went upstairs to my room.
I open the door and find my old room.
"Home Sweet Home." I say in a loud tone.
But this town is a total ghost town.
My voice echoed.
"Well how about that?" I look at Hazel who was looking at me.
"How about it? A bath." I say.
She wagged her tail. She probably likes to take a bath.
I have seen her play in water before.
I close the door and went to take a bath.
I washed myself nice and clean. This constant traveling has made me tired.
Hazel is also with me. We both soaked in the tub.
I heard it is dangerous to have your pet in the tub.
But Hazel is perfectly fine with that.
Her brown fur which is nice to begin with is now dripping wet.
I can't wait to see her after her bath.
Wait! Why am I acting like a boyfriend.
Like she is my girlfriend and I am waiting to see her after her bath.
Have I seriously developed a weird fetish?
Anyway, I will say that I haven't.
No matter what anyone says, I am grateful to her.
But I think of her in a platonic way.
She is an indispensable part of my life.
After the bath, I dry her with a blow dryer.
She is looking good. Her fur is soft and nice to touch and is really soft.
I made dinner and we ate. Then it's time for bed.
It's only 9'o clock but I don't have anything to do.
"How about we sleep?" I say to her.
She also nodded and went in the bed.
I lie down and turn off the light.
It wouldn't hurt to sleep a little more.
So I decide to sleep and I think I will stay here for a while.
With this I fall into a deep slumber.

Entering the ship I thought that science fiction had come true.But I can't find anything science related.I mean, where is the bridge? And also, it looks like it's made from steel but it feels different.I search the ship. And after a while, I thought of giving up.I mean, I can't find anything. It doesn't look like it has a power source. Then, how the hell did this thing fly?Something like an engine or a reactor should be here.But no matter where I searched, I couldn't find it.Maybe it's hidden.I am dejected. I look at Hazel."Can you find something?" I ask her.She sniffed around a bit and started running.I follow her. And two minutes later, I am in front of a door.This door looks a little different.A little taller than me. Come to think of it, I have searched all of this ship.But, from the outside, it looked pretty small.I believe I have walked over a kilometer just searching this ship once.I ask Hazel,"Do you feel anything?"She nodded and wagged her tail.Maybe she w

I am spying on the aliens. I have also stolen a few of their stuff.So it turns out that I can understand them if I wear the amulet.I am hiding behind a tree. Hazel is with me.It is quite an amateurish move but based on their behavior, I don't think they will notice.I hear their conversation."It didn't go as we planned.""Yes. We killed them as planned but we didn't get that.""But it's too quick to give up.""Right. Let's right a report and leave this wretched place.""Yes. Nothing but death lingers. It's too eerie.""Yes. Let's go inside."They went inside of the ship.I am stuck. They came here for a reason but it wasn't here.I am very interested in them. But I have found some interesting stuff.That gun and staff is still with me.I should test them out. But not now.I should probably wait. Let's stalk them.I look at the ship.It doesn't look like it's going to fly away. So I head back to my place.It's already night after all. But how did this much time pass?I didn't even

I am now at the same place. This is a nice open field with grass.But the forest is nearby. Wild animals still live there and sometimes come out from there.I have to be extra careful. I stand alone as Hazel is sitting at a distance.I didn't even tell her but she is already sitting away.I am hurt. But also grateful that she is that smart.Saves me a lot of work. I currently have the gun that I stole with me.It is still weird. A lot like a space gun but nothing that could be said as ammunition is there.I look closely. It is carved with intricate artwork.Is this a ritual or something or maybe the general model? I can see a trigger.I hold the gun and pull the trigger.To my surprise nothing happened. I wasn't even expecting it so no surprise there.I pulled it again but still no answer.Hazel is looking at me and I thought, 'why not?'I point the gun at Hazel and pull the trigger.This time, I can see light gathering at the muzzle.Arehh? Isn't something happening? But before I kne

I wake up. I am still at the field. But it's evening.The sun is setting and the moon could be seen. I see Hazel sitting beside me."Thank you for keeping watch. I think I can walk now." I thank her and pat her head.My energy is back. But it's not like my physical energy was gone. So what kind of energy does it use?And the firepower was incredible. If I shot a human with that, not even a bone would survive.I take the gun and head back. I should think about it.I should first read the book and research. First, know your enemy. Better than themselves.Because the enemy has let their guard down. And they would be back in a while.So I need to get ready so I can leave this planet.I wanted to discover new places on this planet. But I think, I should greet them first.I get back at home and I start reading the book.I won't describe the whole book but here's the summary:This world has many planets. On some, there is life.

It has been another month. I feel like time is kinda passing too fast. But hey, I am training.So it kinda helps that time is passing by so fast.

My reaction speed has increased a lot as well.My training has paid off. I totally went for a shaolin style training where those baldies did some weird training.To be honest I wasn't too sure but now I see.Results speak louder than words. I haven't touched that staff or the gun in this time.But, I think I can shoot at least twice without passing out. Hazel has been with me for all this time.She was following me everywhere. She even sat under the waterfall with me.It felt like she was training too. Many people are saying that I am an idiot.I'd like to digress. It's true that my formal education stopped after that incident.But that doesn't mean

I have lied about my amnesia and being stranded on this planet. Let's just hope she isn't too good at deducting.Hearing this Fay made a really dumb face. Like she completely believes me. She is giving me a pitiful smile."Don't worry. Everything will be just fine." (Fay)She says and embraces me. She is rubbing my head and trying to show me some pity.Is she just dumb or is she like me? I can't get a read on her. But now that she has embraced me, I feel something hitting me.Two mounds are pushing against me. I totally feel them.She is petite. So I thought she would be flat. But she has nice curves. Still, she is short.About 150 centimetres. And her expressions are like a doll. Calculated till the very end.Well, that's my first impression of her. But first impressions aren't everything. She might show something weird or something deadly."Mmm...ummmm....can you….let me...go now?" I ask her. Her twin mounds hitting me is nice and all but it might lead to trouble if it went on for

I am here at the field again. Why are they landing here of all places? And near this city?It is a question I would like to ask. I am back in the position again. Behind the same tree, I am eavesdropping on them.But the numbers have increased. There are 5 of them. Judging from their looks, one of them is a female. At least I think.I have left Hazel and Eden back at home. Bringing them to a potential battle zone would be careless.I have the amulet with me. So I can hear them talk.I can see them talking. And now that I look carefully, they are....handsome.They look really handsome. And that supposed female is also beautiful. What is with this?If they were from this planet, they would be super models. Anyway, they are flashy in terms of appearance.With weird hair color and styles.They have red, green, blue, purple and blonde hair respectively.The supposed female has blonde hair and her attire is different from the men.The air she has around her has a regal feel. Like she is a no

I have already taken the gun. It turned out to be a . I have taken the staff as well.But what can the staff do is still unknown. I am in that open field. Testing out my new weapons. Mastering the weapons would give me a better shot at beating them up.My plan is simple. When the next ship comes, I will attack them. I mean, I will ambush them. Being ambushed is something everyone hates, right?And I will restrain them or more like kill them. It is often said that never spare your enemy because they will come back and get their revenge.I am not doing this for revenge. I am just doing this to survive. I don't think they would spare me if they found out about me.So before I fall into their clutches, I will do something by myself. Maybe go to their planet and hide. From what I saw, they look like normal humans. It would be easy if I can just blend in with them. And with this my future planning is done.Now I focus on my staff and equip it. I just have to wish for it to be

The gun and staff suddenly glowing and my weird dream might be connected. So I should check this out.Cautious people would say to be careful. But I believe that I have to explore every possible event.This event is quite exciting. A stolen alien gun and staff which is too draining and doesn't use any ammunition suddenly glowing is weird in its own right. But I got a weird dream.And judging by the timing I would say this is that common trope.When the protagonist levels up he gets new powers and abilities which often manifests itself through his dream.I get up and walk to the glowing gun. It is glowing but faintly and it's blinking.The lights is glowing like an S.O.S signal. Is this weapon actually alive? I haven't tested it yet after my training but I should have leveled up.If my guess is correct then it uses spiritual energy as a power source. So I did both physical and mental training in which I tempered my body and soul.Let's see the results. I touch the gun and it stopped gl

Living with a cub. And a dog. Was I always like this? A guy into beastiality.No!!! I am not. But situation has forced my hands. Besides, Hazel has her uses. A bear cub or two won't hurt.Still, I am kinda uneasy. Because the bear cub has been too clingy.I am currently in the bath with the cub and Hazel.The bath is small. So two was pushing it. Now another one. This is cramped.And here I am. Waking up and finding Hazel beside me and the bear cub above.When the hell did I eat dinner and fall asleep?I remember taking a bath and then I don't remember. Did I black out? But I clearly see the dishes washed and I am in my sleepwear.What happened? I try to remember. But nothing came up. I am drawing a blank.It's morning. But where did my memories of those few hours go?I don't remember. But I am feeling weird. I am getting sleepy again.Well, I don't have work anyway. So I lay down and fall asleep again.For the past few days, I have been losing my consciousness. I don't remember how o

I know this a bit weird but I am doing it backwards. Hello, this the author. I decided I should do a special chapter for passing 1k views. This is an introduction chapter but there are only 2 characters. So I will add a special POV too. ————————————————Clive Belmont: The MC. He is a apathetic boy of 17. Taller than average with a height of 181.5 centimeters. And a weight of 69 kilograms.His personality is a bit twisted. Unpredictable. In a word that's it. Too disconnected from reality. Brash and does not understand feelings of others. Also a little too level headed. One might think, he is not human. Totally unfazed by irregular things and quite accepting.Wants a peaceful life and is dependent on the flow. He does not make a decision and let nature run its course.Hazel: His partner. A brown dog. Gender female. Met Clive after a day of the annihilation. A really clever dog. Always understands what Clive says and gives him advice. Whenever they come across a dead body, she always b
