Alien in a world of magic

Miku Hara was your typical goal-orientated and driven kind of person. She was the CEO of her own small company and was living her best life when one day tragically while out for a jog she got killed by a falling piece of space debris. Now finds herself in a warm dark space with no idea of what's going on except a strange dark instinct to feed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, peeps Author here. A few things to start with I don't own anything except the generic fantasy world, if you own the cover image and don't want me to use it just send a message to me. With that, all done this will be one of my first ever stories like ever XD so I don't mind constructive criticism Key word is Constructive! I understand that some stories aren't for everyone so if this isn't yours then so be it. There's going to be 700-1000 words per chapter (hopefully) the story will be sporadic at first as I figure out a release schedule.

Chapter 11: Let the Hunt Begin!

After Miku finished up near the river, she slowly walked for about an hour down it as she looked for a new place to call home.

"hmm, that one might be the best as I can sorta hollow it out a bit, maybe make something cozy."

Miku says as she looks at a relatively large Hill right near the river with big dead trees that have fallen nearby for firewood. She then smiles and slowly gets to work, and as the sun finally goes down, a small cave is created out of the hill.

"There we go, something for me to sleep in, a place to call home for now." She then gathers wood and dry leaves and starts a campfire to help keep away some of the more timid creatures.

After that, she gathers a few sharp, sturdy sticks to make a small barricade of sorts."There my base is done; man, that was fun, like playing Minecraft though I bet people would laugh at this if they saw it."

Miku laughs and then slowly blinks her eyes, and her vision changes to a world of blue. " Now, I have my base, and it's close to the river, so there are all the basics. Now my only goal is to get stronger because I nearly died today, and I would rather not do that again; once is enough."

Disappearing into the forest with newfound speed, Miku quickly climbs a tree and heads off deeper into the woods. The nighttime Creatures proved to be much more formidable, as her first encounter was by surprise when a python-sized snake attacked her.

The snake was able to surprise her due to its being cold-blooded. Miku could react just barely, thanks to her new ear upgrades, as she had heard something odd coming from one side and was ready to guard that side.

Which had allowed her to be able to grab the snake's head before it could bite her. Sadly she wasn't able to stop it from wrapping around her, trapping one of her arms and making it useless.

The snake hisses at her as the venom drips from its fangs, constricting its body around her tighter, trying to crush her to death.

After a few minutes of struggling, Miku was able to use her tail to spike the snake in the head and kill it." Damm, too close I should have known better that cold-blooded creatures wouldn't show up in my thermal vision."

After wolfing down the snake faster than noodles, Miku pays closer attention to her surroundings as she continues to hunt her next prey. Miku leaps from tree to tree, this time being more careful of snakes and other cold-blooded creatures that might be hiding in their branches.

Just then, off in the distance, Miku spots a group of orange dots doing something. Slowly getting closer, she noticed that the orange dots were rather large wolf-like creatures hunting a boar.

Switching her eyes back, she can now see that the wolves are barely injured, and the boar is bleeding badly, probably due to the difference in sight. Keeping quiet, Miku climbs higher in the tree and positions herself above them, ready to pounce.

As the wolves circle the boar, it beats its hoove against the ground in both a threat and to get ready to charge. The wolves eventually get tired of waiting, and one positions itself in front and fakes an attack making the boar charge before leaping to the side.

As the other wolf dodges, the other lunges and claws deep into the boar's side, causing the boar to falter mid-charge and collapse due to pain and blood loss.

The boar slowly tries to stand up but falters again before its eyes slowly start to close, never to open again; the wolves circle for a bit before finally getting close and beginning to eat.

Unknown to the wolves above, Miku hangs from a branch with her tail wrapped around it as her legs bend, ready to push off and dive toward the wolves. Miku waits till they are entirely focused on eating before leaping down and rocketing toward them.

The lead wolf noticed something wasn't right, but before it could do anything, large claws pierced through its skull, killing it instantly before it could even yelp in pain.

The other wolf seeing the leader die, jumps into action, clawing Miku and sending her flying a few feet. After Miku recovers, she screeches and, using her newfound speed, charges the other wolf, but unlike the mindless boar, as the wolf dodges away, her tail grabs one of its legs.

Using her momentum, she swings her tail, yanking the wolf off its feet and throwing it into a nearby tree, making it yelp out in pain. Before it can recover, Miku once again leaps at it; her claws shred into the wolf's throat, cutting off its ability to breathe and killing it in seconds.

Miku sighs before smiling " Wow, it boggles my mind at how well this new body works. I mean, it's like it was made to kill things, but I have noticed it works much better in ambushes. I mean, I can fight head-on, but the fight becomes a lot more complicated than it needs to be."
