The sound of wings echoed through the forest as the Draco landed on a large open area. It flapped its wings, revealing its glorious and majestic body. Its horns, part of its current evolution, were terrifying to behold. Its body was made purely to destroy and rip apart its targets. It lightly growled to greet its challenger.
Across the Draco, there was a large bipedal animal. It roared at the Draco and thumped its chest with its powerful arms.
It was a berserker ape. Its giant body was adorned with evolved muscles. Compared to the one that evolved in front of Elizabeth, this berserker ape had the time to get used to its new abilities.
It was dangerous and even David would be hard-pressed to defeat one.
The Draco gripped the berserker ape's leg. Using its other free claw, it pushed down the ape's body by applying its enormous weight on the ape's chest. Using the chest as leverage, the Draco intended to rip the ape's leg from its body.The ape squirms as it futilely tries to get away from the Draco. Looking around with frantic eyes, the ape sees a nearby rock. It reaches out for it, an action that the Draco chuckled at.Fear gripped the ape’s heart as it felt the Draco slowly apply strength to its claw. At first, there was only a pulling sensation.The ape continued to thrash.Eventually, the pulling sensation started to become painful. The Draco was grinning the whole time.
David needed to move. Each second he spent standing still or not moving towards the Draco’s nest meant more seconds in which Elizabeth to fight the Draco. Each second wasted meant more chances that Elizabeth would die. Looking at the super reptiles surrounding him, David immediately charges at the one in front of him. The advance of the super reptiles suddenly stopped due to surprise. They did not expect their “prey” to advance towards them. David hefts the steel spear, an advanced weapon that elevated humanity from a bunch of cavemen to a warfaring species. It also allowed David to fight without fearing for his weapon breaking. Then h
Psionic energy is the primordial energy of the universe but unlike other forms of energy, psionic energy cannot be used except to create or change form. On its own, psionic energy cannot be used to power a car but with the right tools or power, it can be turned into an enormous amount of electric energy that can move the car. Psionic energy can be turned into any type of energy with a high exchange ratio. Everything in the universe, whether it be the light from the sun to the very thoughts of each and every single human, was once psionic energy. On Earth, psionic energy was suppressed due to unknown reasons and wasn’t discovered until humanity’s encounter with an entity called the voice. On
Elizabeth watched both in horror and excitement as the berserker ape stood up. She saw that its ripped open chest was fully healed. Its face was angry but not of blind rage but determined purpose.Taking a deep breath, the berserker ape releases a powerful roar that creates an invisible shockwave that affects all the living creatures that could hear it. Even the Draco was affected by the ape’s new challenge.The Draco turns around. It ignores Elizabeth in lieu of the more powerful threat. Elizabeth saw that the Draco was grinning.Crazy lizard…The Draco didn’t have the facial features of a human but anyone that saw it would immediately think that it had the smile of an
The Draco roared in pain as it experienced blindness on one side.~HOW!?!?! WHAT HAPPENED?!?!~Losing focus, the Draco feels a powerful force strike its chest and it’s pushed off Ximi. Ximi, who took advantage of the situation, runs towards the forest. The Draco didn’t understand what just occurred.How did the arrows that it ignored suddenly pierce its body?The Draco was still confused when Elizabeth runs forward and leaps off the tree.Midair, Elizabeth pulls out three steel-tipped arrows. Notching them, Elizabeth lets loose a barrage of steel hell. The Draco roars again as the three arr
David slowly crept into the Draco’s nest. It was surprisingly empty. Weird. David looks to his small companion and looks upward. Bob follows David’s line of sight. The ceiling of the cave had many large holes that seemed artificial. The hole didn’t scare David, it was the crawl marks that did. The Draco doesn’t need to crawl on the ceiling… it just needs to fly. Then David’s senses screamed murder. Dodging backward, David barely avoids the jaws of an exceptionally large super reptile. While dodging backward, David grabs Bob and throws him upwards to o
After following the road towards the city, Kenneth hides behind a ruined vehicle. On his side, hiding behind another vehicle, Peter was holding his rifle tightly with his index finger inside the trigger.Kenneth sighs inwardly. He realizes that his subordinate might need a bit more than just a guiding hand.Pissed that the kid couldn’t even hold a gun right, he calls Peter’s attention.“Psst!”Peter looks at him.Kenneth gestures to his finger. Peter looks at his finger then he looks at Kenneth again. A bit confused, Peter eventually realizes his mistake.
The Draco was not a sentient creature in the way that humans can talk, understand, or think about abstract concepts but it was still a living and breathing creature. It had desires, albeit not as complex, like all human beings.It desired food and had complex enough taste buds to prefer meals from tender meat in comparison to tough meat. It also preferred being in the sunlight as it felt more comfortable in the heat than cold. It enjoyed eating living animals compared to dead carcasses.And just like any good human parent, the Draco also wanted its true offspring to prosper and grow up to become like him or even better than him. On top of its almost human-like tendencies, it had paternal instincts, something that humans didn’t have.So, when the Draco
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
