Elizabeth stayed by the torch as David continued to process the brine.
Bob was sleeping on a small fur pile that David set for him.
Ugh… this is so boring… How long have we been here?
Elizabeth takes a chunk off from the hunk of dried meat.
At least, this tastes good.
The three of them have spent at least 2 days in the dark. David and Elizabeth took turns processing the brine into salt. They also took turns taking watch during their sleep times.
Elizabeth knew that they were about to finish but she was still bored. These past few days have bee
David saw the monstrous reptiles rip and tear through the horde of night beasts but it wasn’t their brutality that caused him to fall but instead, it was Elizabeth. Elizabeth pushed him out of harm’s way. “Are you okay??” David saw Elizabeth’s worried face. He weakly nods. “Okay, that’s good. We need to get out of here now. I heard wings earlier and the Draco might come here.” David nods and he forces his body to stand up. He groans in pain.
One… Two… Three…David was stretching.A day passed since David’s declaration to Elizabeth.Despite the relaxing period, David still felt damaged. Each time he moved, he felt his wounds sting. He didn’t like staying in bed so he ignored the pain.It helped since he believed in the phrase “what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger.”So, he made sure to keep moving. If he spent all his time resting, he would feel restless.To reassure Elizabeth and Bob and prevent them from worrying, David made sure not to push his body too far.&
“So… why are we back at the cave?”Elizabeth looked around the massive cavern.It was an extremely dark abyss filled with both known and unknown monsters.Fortunately, the two of them brought fully lit torches.The light illuminated the general area around them.~This cave is full of resources. It wasn’t just a salt deposit. It also contains other materials and minerals.~“But aren’t there a lot of monsters here? You haven’t fully recovered, I don’t want to haul your dying ass out of here again. Also aren’t we endangering ours
In the infinite void, an entity watched the many universes around it unfold.The movement of each universe was extremely fast but it suddenly stops to show a world that the entity particularly liked. She looked down on the world and saw that her first guest still had the same problem.Hmm… David still can’t speak huh? Maybe I should remove that psychological barrier? Nah… He can handle it on his own. His mind is still intact, that’s the most important factor.Goddess looks at Foserense.The iron age huh? In 8 months, he’s progressed from using stone tools to heating up his first iron ore… It does help to have a bodyguard that’s immune to most physical d
David carried a bag full of charcoal towards the crude forge.The forge was already hot. It already had fuel in it but David continued to add more fuel so that the forge could reach the appropriate temperature.Without bellows to help him heat the forge, David had to devote a lot of energy so he can keep the heat at a high and optimal level.David continued this task for hours on end.He looked at the remaining supply of untouched iron ore. If he failed again, he would have to go back into the cave.David sighed at the thought of asking Elizabeth to cover for him again. He was semi-sure that Elizabeth would disapprove after the deception h
Elizabeth woke up.She looked at the cave window to see if it was already morning.A ray of sunlight was already hitting her body.Looking at the window, Elizabeth notices that the sun was rising.Without any delays, Elizabeth started to stretch to wake up her body.After a few minutes of warm-up, Elizabeth wears her newly skinned fur blankets and she goes out of her room.The fur blankets felt a bit uncomfortable but it was better than walking around naked. She trusted David but she didn’t like giving him a free show. At least, David was gentlemanly enough to look away.
Bob, David’s monkey friend, was traveling alone.Neither David nor Elizabeth was behind or in front of him. In this mission, Bob was entirely alone.There are times that Bob disappears from the waterfall.This doesn’t worry David as it simply means that Bob was either in the mood to explore or was looking for something.This usually happens when David is too busy with a task that requires him to stay at the waterfall. When he first started planting, David spent a long time reviewing the log and the plants nearby. Bob got bored and decided to climb down the waterfall on his own.When David noticed that his friend monkey disappeared, h
In comparison with David and Elizabeth, Bob had a slightly better vision in the dark.It didn’t allow for him to see things in the dark but he could pinpoint silhouettes and moving creatures better.As his surroundings slowly become dark, Bob starts to rely more on his hearing. He started to feel afraid, something he regularly felt when David and Elizabeth were in danger. To counter this, Bob thought of David’s satisfied look.Yes!David’s happiness was Bob’s goal. If he found a psion stone, David would feel extra happy thus Bob would feel happier.As he continues to traverse the cave, Bob starts to see some weak light from the distance.Ooooh.Bob made light monkey noises which signified his excitement. He quickly covers his mouth. He remembers the time he scolded Elizabeth for being noisy. Now, he fee
The ability to manipulate psionic energy allows the user to be able to do anything. This is not a metaphor or figure of speech. Someone with enough control and psionic power can warp reality to fit their needs, no matter how crazy their desires are. The greatest example is God/Goddess who theoretically has an infinite amount of control and psionic power thus granting him/her omnipotence. While the entity, called the voice, is powerful, there is no way to properly quantify its psionic ability or if it even uses such a resource. If we assume that the voice is powerful enough to prevent God/Goddess from banishing it from the universe which contradicts God/Goddess' omnipotence, then that means the voice is eithe
A couple of months before Elizabeth appeared, David was alone in Foserense. He had Bob but Bob wasn’t able to sign yet so he was basically a very adorable house pet that did nothing but make noises, eat, poop everywhere, and sleep.Because of his loneliness, David put all of his energy into improving his home.Cutting trees would usually take a large amount of time for normal people, even physically strong ones but at this point in time, David has already reached the Vusser stage.Only needing a few hours of sleep per day, David devoted all of his waking hours to work and work.In the morning, he fed Bob and slowly taught him how to sign. After teaching the adorable monkey how to communicate using advanc
Where is that thing?After following the roar and looking around, Twilight couldn’t find its source.One roar and it’s gone silent? Weird.Twilight scratched his head as he realized that the prowler or the source of the roar suddenly disappeared as if it was never there.Did it get accidentally killed again?Looking around, Twilight couldn’t find any sign of the emaciated jumper. There weren’t any dents on the nearby cars either.Maybe it jumped down?Sighing, Twilight conti
When the invasion started, the voice empowered its most loyal servants with unimaginable power that would allow them to dominate all life on Earth. These entities were called conduits, humans with a direct connection to the omnipresent voice. But the chosen were limited both in numbers and strength. The voice wanted new creatures to follow its bidding to quicken the invasion so it gave the conduits the ability to turn the creatures of Earth into monsters that followed their every whim. The conduits used this newfound power to create monsters that followed their will, ranging from petty human desires to causing genocide. Currently, a ma
Kenneth and Peter slowly entered the grocery store. They did their best to keep quiet and not to attract any attention. The entrance was full of husks but most of them were dormant which allowed the duo to walk past them without any problems. The grocery store was abandoned but they were both surprised when they reach the areas where food was stored. Peter’s eyes widen as he sees the grocery store’s state. Instead of being empty which would have been the norm in any apocalypse situation, most of the shop’s contents were still there. Many of them were already spoiled but most of the preserved food was still fine. “Ho-how??”
David scrunched his remaining right eyebrow in confusion.What?David wasn’t sure if he heard right.Did the Draco just talk? And in such an undignified way as well?The Draco looked at him with an extremely smug face.David spits out more blood that was building up in his lungs.Whatever. I don’t have time to think of that. I only have a few minutes left.David looked around. He saw Bob looking at him with crazed eyes.Poor Bob. Mu
While David has spent less than a year in Foserense, he has logged a lot of information in his divine gift. The log recorded all of David's thoughts and added its own usually more correct ideas. This didn't mean that David had wrong ideas, it's just that the log already had a repository of base information for almost anything. It didn't have information on things that evolved unless David observes the creature for a long period of time or experienced the evolution first-hand. While David logged in an enormous amount of information, these are some of them. BiotubesClassification: Plant (Fruit) Effects: Low-Quality Anti-Biotic Possible Effects: Low nourishment & Lethal at large amounts
GOTTA GET UP!!!Elizabeth screamed in her mind as she used every ounce of her willpower to move.But there was no movement.David didn’t lie when he said that the goros adrenaline pushes the human body past its limits. But it wasn’t this severe. With the help of the goros adrenaline, Elizabeth used her evolved gift multiple times to the point that it now became her default gift.It didn’t mean that her evolved gift became her default gift that the exhaustion it gave would suddenly disappear. Once the goros adrenaline wore off, Elizabeth’s body had to take the brunt of the adrenaline and the constant usage of her gift.
Despite her tough defenses, Elizabeth still suffered effects such as concussions should she take enough physical damage.Unfortunately for Elizabeth, falling from an insanely tall height would knock her out.Tsk… stupid gift.Elizabeth cursed her gift. She didn’t really hate it but she gets annoyed when her gift fails to protect her.If David heard her thoughts, he would be thoroughly angry with her and scold her.Fortunately for Elizabeth, David couldn’t hear her thoughts.As she slowly came to her senses, Elizabeth started to hear the sound of a fight going
