[TIME REMAINING]
<<14:23:55:31>>
The lights blew out with a "thump" noise. I looked up as glowing red eyes stared at me.
<<Skill Activated [Speed]>>
Everything got slower. It felt like the time had slowed down. It was like I was watching a slo-mo video in VR.
A drop of blood fell from above.
My eyes followed it down as it fell in front of me, On my shirt.
I Looked up again, Only to see giant teeth right above me, Falling in the faint light.
The teeth were long and sharp. The tips of them were pointy.
The mouth shaped like a catfish's, Opened wide enough to swallow me in whole. Head shaped round like a balloon, With a small green stem on its head, at its end hung a small bud that faintly emitted a blueish light in the dark.
That Bud was the only thing that illuminated its face and the surrounding area, faintly.
As I pushed myself away, It landed on its all fours right in front of me, Exactly where I was just a moment ago. Splashing water all around, It looked towards me for a moment, And made a screeching sound,
<<Skill Deactivated: [Speed]>>
My ear ringing got worse I felt dizzier.
Its eyes were big and round and glowed red. Its eyes felt big for its face.
It gave it a terrifying look.
It did not have a neck. It was small. The head continued to its body, Just right above his arm, Where its muscle, Could be made out.
It did not have any fur. Its skin looked dried and thin.
It was hardly 4 feet tall in size, body like a chimpanzee. It knuckled walked on all four.
The strength of its forearms was immense. It could jump with them.
It climbed on a pillar and lept towards me.
My ears were still ringing and, I was still feeling dizzy and disorientated.
I barely managed to move again as it charged towards me, Screeching.
<<Skill Activated: [Speed]>>
I managed to Jump out of its way in the nick of time, As it went past me barely by straws landing on the wet ground again, As water splashed all around.
It breathed heavily. So do I.
<<Skill Deactivated: [Speed]>>
I Got up, Leaning on a pillar for support, and stood leaning on it, dizzy and exhausted.
[Skills]
I scrolled through It.
As it Screeched and screamed, Turning towards me, Before It Charged at me again, leaping on its all four.
I Activated, [Body of Steel].
<<Skill Activated: [Body Of Steel]>>
As it leaped on top of me, making me fall to the ground.
With its arms, it tried to crush my neck. Without the <<body of steel>>, It would have been certain death.
As it choked me with its full strength, I started to feel pressure on my neck that was going towards my head. It felt tighter and tighter.
I was having difficulty breathing my throat dried up. I wanted water.
I gathered the last bit of strength I had.
I put in all.
Using strength to the last bit, I Stabbed it with my bare hand.
As I pierced its cheat with my bare hand, Piercing through its thin skin, bones, and muscle underneath, It screamed and screeched. As it Tried to move, then hit me again, it struggled.
I grabbed its Heart as my hand went through it, Ripping its Heart out of its back as my hand went through it out the opposite side, holding its Heart tightly in my grip, black in color. Almost as to squeezing it, A dark brown frothy fluid dripped from its Heart and flowed out of the wound.
That frothy thing flowed down its mouth as it screamed for few seconds before falling limp and silent over me. That forthy thing got all over me.
As it died, ringing in my ear and the dizziness, Nausea, and disorientation went away.
I pushed its corpse to the side breathing heavily, exhausted.
<<Skill Deactivated: [Body Of Steel]>>
I laid there, looking upwards to the darkness. The only light being the one emitting from the thing on its head that faintly lit my face.
I got up, <<Item Box>> I took out an assault rifle from it, Putting the Rifle around my shoulder. I took out a big Flashlight, One of those that had a jerrycan-like handle.
and took a closer look at the glowing thing on its head,
It was a luminescent growth that grew on its head, I don't know what exactly it was, But it looked like some kind of, Plant. Maybe.
I did not touch it. Cause it could have been poisonous or, Who knows what else it could have been, maybe something even more dangerous or weirder.
I moved past the corpse.
Walking through the Knee-Deep water, I followed the sound of the water dripping, Heading in the direction that felt like the sound came from, looking for a path, A way out of the chamber.
I walked through the knee-deep water with a torch in my hand and a rifle on my shoulder.
Thus the Day 1 of survival began for me.
[TIME REMAINING]
<<14:22:03:07>>
I walked along the direction the sound came from the pillars become fewer and fewer insights.
As I walked through the water, more towards the direction the sound came from, It became more of a maze of rusted pipes.
Through them in the darkness glowed tiny red eyes, those were small monsters that looked like rats, the size of a cockroach those did not attack me instead hid themselves seeing the light and hearing something moving through the water.
I didn't attack them either.
When I pointed the torch towards a bunch of them, They immediately jumped away from the light. These monsters certainly did not like light.
I moved past them, Searching for the place the water was coming from using the torch to search through the maze of pipe for the leak.
