Her dress couldn’t be any more of a rag than it is. I was done removing the metals and stopping the bleeding. Even so her life is still slowly fading. She had lost so much of blood. … What now? Such a waste to do all this and then she dies. I unbuckle the belt of the small back around my waist. I know the viles in there were broken. I didn’t really check only the wet sensation on my trousers told me so. Carefully, I open it. Here’s to hoping for something of a ‘miracle’. Would you look at that. How convenient. She has luck. They were really smashed but a couple viles weren’t completely shattered and still had a little potion in. A little of the weird looking potion and the greenish-blue one. They weren’t plenty but they should help her to some extent. With how potent the potion should be it should be able to stall for quite a bit. From what the old woman said either applying it to the wound or ingesting would do. One for general and the other for concentrated and quick healing on

“Reporting.” The man, in his latter 30’s, clearly not startled, looked up from the papers before him to the one who had just appeared without a sound. The slightly muscled man in a dull colored shirt with only a light armor breastplate strapped to the right and another strap over his left shoulder down to his lower right which held his sheathed sword. He didn’t look like one you would peg for having a skill synonymous to an assassin. “What is it?” “The one the former mayor had met was a young teen. Speculation was he may have been some young noble but upon further questioning it was highly likely he is a young hunter.” “We had no notice of a noble coming here. In any case as you sure he is the very same the spy had seen at the docks?” “Yes sir.” “…Hmm” He looked like one in thought. “I have a question. Are we not reporting this?” “It was Grenjad’s own foolishness to have done something like that but it made it easier taking over … I would have love to kept it under wraps. But t

It didn’t take long for her body to calm and look a bit eased…Nothing to do, rather a little in mind I stood up and got close to the pond, staring straight at the island. The place was calm except for the ripples caused by the still falling water.The flame didn’t look like it would go out even when I distance myself and as the elf was in the open she would still be in my line of sight. I train my sense on her in case any wandering monster saw her as easy picking.A foot into the water, then the other going deeper in. Half submerged I lower myself swimming towards the island.I aware myself of my surroundings, but didn’t feel anything stir beneath the water…It was a little distant. Drawing closer I saw the land which the tree stood was quite large, so too the pond it seemed, and the tree which stood away from the center, its trunk really wide. It was in bloom. Leaves long dried, and some losing their color, scattered around on the roots and laying in the grasses.I stood on its shore

Just like that four days went by. There was no sign of life around me, no monsters nearby. The caves where just quiet. Thought two days ago there was slight tremors which I thought could have been the giant worms moving about a little far away or probably another collapse above.I wonder if the elf is okay. She has been asleep for a long while. Wouldn’t she be hungry for sleeping that long.The caverns seems far reaching. No matter where we went the size barely changed. Instead there were many branches and chambers that seems to go on. If it wasn’t for its natural look one would think it was man-made. I wasn’t using the flame after drying up because there was no need in the first place. The caverns was slightly illuminated by moss which grew on the walls and stuck onto some boulders.I’ll be honest I’m on thin rope because of my hunger. My consideration of eating the elf grows stronger and if I don’t find prey soon, I would definitely eat her. I think I can only hold on for a while lo

… Suddenly my feet stop not wanting to move anymore. The elf between my pit fell with a heavy thud. I have no time to care for her right now. I had ignored the hunger that was gnawing that I missed the reason why I sought to keep myself sated. even at minimum. And now it seems, it is trying to take over once more.How foolish of me. I staggered away finding it difficult to balance myself. To my knees I fell. Half my sight turned dark. It wasn’t that I couldn’t see from it, no, I could, rather exceptionally clear just with a darker hue, it was more like it wasn’t mine to use.Try hard to resist the take over.“Ugh!”I felt the change from my teeth. I’m starting to lose myself——The elf! I force myself to turn to her. I can’t let myself get taken over. I know I said she is an investment but if I do get taken over again who knows what might happen. I push myself to crawl towards her. The smell that came from her, how enticing.If I eat her it’ll settle and I will gain control again. I g

Why is it so? Because their smell is all over the place so much that I can’t tell where I’m heading, tracking. It’s no different wandering in here. And Iya. They seem to be moving in a pattern, in a peculiar direction for a while now. And I can’t dedicate time to finding my way out without running into monsters, if not, probably end up lost, since I have no clue where to look. Will think of what to do after I deal with these scorpions closing in. The stingers on them are the most annoying, having to handle their pincers and then they attack with it. I just have to pay extra attention to them, cut them, deflect or distance myself if I can’t, keep them from so much as scratching the elf or me. It’d kill her, but only slow me down which would make it easier for them getting to her. Don’t let them circle around me. They had been since the begin, so I should instead escape the encirclement and prevent any from closing in from behind. Their bodies are tough. To cut through takes a lo

… After a long climb the reach the top. The sun had set only the orange glow remain, slowly dimming. "We should make camp here." The blond hair companion said. "… No, just the rest is okay, we should move deeper in." Lira rejected. "You can go on, right?" She directed at Allora. "Yes, I've got lots of stamina to spare." "Fine by me…" The blond young man accepted. "I was trying to be a bit considerate since you're girls. Guess there wasn't the need to you two pretty much handle yourself well," His companion said. "as well as many others. Time really have changed. I forgot about that." He muttered to himself. "Then we rest for an hour then move on." … When they finally settled for the day it was long deep into the night. As the dark sky was slowly swept away by the dull blue the party was already up and moving… "Looks like we have company. From behind." The blonde young man suddenly spoke. They all stop and turned. "You…" The blond young man's companion voiced. A few meters

The concrete chips crunched under a pair of boots that trudged.Somewhere on the sands, where where only what seemed to be once walls stood, now lay to the sandy floor as chips and blocks.The person slowly moved through the rubble.At the corner of his eyes he spotted a figure leaning on a slab her head dropped.“To think I’d find someone out here…” He drew closer. “A dead hunter.”They took a knee to her side looking at the wounds on the corpse(?), blood soaked into the sand.“Doesn’t seem to be from a monster… Bandits? No. They would have taken everything on her. It would be a miracle her corpse was left unsullied.Infighting, huh. She looks pretty dead, but, just to be certain…”Reaching their right hand to their back they grabbed a short weird stick and with the left placed it to the corpse’s neck.“… I was right… Just barely alive. Sure is tenacious.” He took his hand of her and the weird stick, looking around.“Was she abandoned and left for dead? But what would they be doing ou

… Above watching the ongoing battle. The mage with the mercantile smile stood in his deep brown Sith robe. The ground was little with corpses and dismembered corpses. Blood stained sands that had soaked and drained the life of those that fell. The two sides, one side the majority of therianthropes and the other humans, clash letting loose their savagery on each other. It was a gruesome sight where swords clash, severing and disemboweling of the clashing races alike. An observer would question the necessity of the savagery. In a would were there was on the expanse of desert, who knew whether there would be another settlement other than that of the two sides. So why did they not cooperative to increase their chances of survival in this cruel new world? The answer is basic: Superiority of species. One with the stronger physique wanted to declare themselves master, and the other with smarts wanted for control. So

“Are you okay.” I look to where her voice came. Chika had somehow gotten herself out of the binding around her arm. When I glanced it seemed like it was cut. And in her hand was a very small knife, I’m sure she tucked it somewhere they wouldn’t find. She was checking on the two, cutting their bindings. I took a step to move closer. “Ugh…” I thought it would take a while to kick in. I finally got to relax seeing everything was fine, but immediately I did. I felt pain grip my entire body. My grip turned slippery from the blood that was slipping from the gunshot wound on my shoulder, and from the one that wasn’t mine. If that was all then I could deal with it, it would probably healed after a while. Aside from the nicks and cuts. I got careless back there. True, with this new found strength and reflexes you could do much, but when your are under fire it’s easy to be blindsided that was it. And that was what happ

“… I’m here to collect my friends. And I wouldn’t hesitate to cut anyone down anyone who stands in my way!” I say as I straightened my poster, walking. “Intruder at the entrance. Men down.” … “Don’t let him in. Do whatever it takes to put him down.” I could hear the distressed voices of the men in this place. They were scrambling to get here. And those that were already close by were let lose bullets. From long before I’ve known them to be rather conservative of their ammunition, after all, the amount would be so little. But it still rained. I weaved through the debris, walls, and any cover as they closed in with cover fire. Those that chose close combat with their machetes and knives were cut down by the scythe. I closed in one by one on their gunners taking them out and moving away before I got pinned. Why? Why? Why? Why do I feel like this? Despite the rage in me, hypocritical, it may be, why

“I’d appreciate it if you could get on with it.”“… Absolutely. Brest is his name.”Why do I get the feeling the sound of his name is exactly how he looks?“Who is he? What is his role in all this?”“The same for anyone in his position. A seat. Somewhere to belong, to hold authority.”“… I don’t get it. He’s already made his way into the top brass of that opposition faction, I assume, so why the need for more power.”Not just anyone could make it into the elites, in this case faction heads. He has to have something they need and is of the same mindset.“… Show me a person who has no greed and I will show you a world without without suffering…”Greed? In this situation do I seem to have that?… I guess. Despite having Amara, a unique to existence, I still wanted for Chika. Is that greed or lust. And then the fact, though not my own, I preferred her to be the one in control. Dose that also count.“… What do you think a desperate man would do, if you were in his situation?” He as

When the sun got over the horizon, I got out of Chika’s place. Using the Scythe as support I dragged my aching body towards the settlement. Damn it! My whole body hurts like hell. Despite it only being sunrise the settlement is bustling. The hunt must have already been gathered and people where already up to collect their ration for the day. Technically there should be enough to ration them for months if the meat is cured, but with the time it took to cure and the amount of people that came in occasionally the daily hunts were mostly shared daily until the ones in stores was cured. I’m somewhat a familiar figure around here. Draped in a cloak, much better from the very first tarp I used, though it was old. They knew of the relation I had with Chika and the fact I was one of those who hunted most people stayed cleared of me. Then there’s the rumor about the scythe. Something about the weapon being cursed and me being a dangerous and cruel character, That really hurt my feeling, you

[A/N: About half of this was part of the previous chapter/ Please go through the latter half] It began slow at first but soon she got passionate, like her body was reacting to something she had yearned for, for so long. I pulled her in closer.I didn’t have any top on so she could only wrap her arms around my neck leaving me to undo her buttons. Her lips never left mine as I worked to free her trapped bust. She was just right. I’m not one to like ‘em big or small, but in the middle, maybe a tad big than that average, just like how she was.I cupped a breast feeling it’s soft, sinking goodness in my hand. Breaking off I traced her neck, kissing all the way the cherry which sat perfectly on her mound taking it into my mouth, sucking on it.“Ah…” Her moans were soft, afraid to let it out. Her hand found my buckle as I undid her with a hand, slowly sinking into the mood.Gently lean her backward until her back touched the bed.On my knees I pulled off her pants and underwear, feasting on

[A/N: Believe the is longest i've written. Not edited so please bear with me.] In this few months I’ve active here. I got to see, well hear, about the fights that have been going on. With the exception of a few other races, their opponents were indeed the Theriantropes and a few other monster looking humanoids. Can’t really call them monsters if they can communicate, can we?. Here’s me, a guy who is avid about fantasy setting and the like and its inhabitants, seeing them do this breaks my heart. It goes as far to see the Demi-human, you know those animal/monster ears, tail and other parts, but looking no different, if not slightly, from humans being affect. Oh my dear Waifus. I was more active later in the night and hardly witnessed any. I mostly rested during the day, if not going to Chika’s or the old/young which listening to their reports, and gossips. From the reports they harassment was mainly guerrilla. Even still with that they were still at a stalemate, both side unable ov

It breaks past the limits of your current self, even if it’s only a little improvements, my body left tight and robust.If people of our time knew about this, they’d rush in droves to get some without hesitation.…Right.Survival trivia:If you must know how they deal with the water problem. They had secured a reservoir and other containers around the place, rationing it along with the daily hunts. It’s not much considering this sweltering heat which calls for constant rehydration, but there’s nothing you can do than survive with the little you got. —Well there’s the option of plundering from others, as long as you don’t get caught or deal with an witness. And that is something that seems to happen around here.How do they deal with the refiling? Well from what I know they made sure to collect the rare yet occasional rains which somehow still fall.

Motor control has slowed down to a dull, I can’t even keep my position leaning to the wooden hut,The same time as the door opened I had swayed to the side falling in towards the old lady. Luckily though, for some reason the scythe is still tight in my grip.“Woah, I didn’t think you’d want this old lady that bad that you’d throw yourself upon me.” She must have gotten a closer look at me, “You don’t look so good. Let’s get you in.” She supported me leading me inside.How is a frail old lady able to hold me upright. It’d be a blow to my pride as a man if it was my weight, but it isn’t.I’ve had my suspicions but this woman isn’t as she seems.She laid me on a cloth-made bed.“I should get your gift in before someone makes away with it.”I get how you feel about securing resources detrimental to survival but someone’s dying here.I get it now. I did ask the price of a life in this new world. Now I seem to know what it cost.It didn’t take long to hear the d
