5. Humans !!

'Shit !' I have been running now for 5 days and even killed two 4m titans on my way. I even lost my arm just an hour ago because of an crazy titan. He did not try to catch and eat me. No he threw things at me. And one of those things he had next to his half-buried body was of course a wheelbarrow full of scrap metal. And thanks to my shitty luck one of those metals was sharp enough and landed perfectly on my shoulder. The good part is that i now know that each of my arms and legs has an percentage of my HP. If i loose a leg or arm i loose exactly 12.5% of my health. thanks to poison resistance i don't need to care for an infection...hopefully. what am i thinking ? sleeping will heal me so no worry's. But back to the real problem= where the frick is this Wall ?! All i found till now is some old ruins and a crazy titan. Of course i even saw some of the big guys but my new skill helped me hide. ==Skill's== °Excavation LVL 15 2.23% "Sometimes I dig holes for people to fall in. Then I shout, "I've got you!"― Amanda Mosher (Those are real quotes btw. i am not thinking of them on my own) This Skill lets you dig faster. when a hole gets refilled with this skill it lets the ground look like it's never been dug out.+ 15% dig speed. I got this one when i closed the hole after pooping. It never really helped but then came the little bonus of letting the ground look normal after filling it up again. I don't know why or how one of my skills got an extra bonus after reaching lvl 10 but i am grateful. With the help of my self made shovel i can dig a hole where i can hide from titans if they spot me from afar. I mostly run to the next big object to hide behind and then dig the hole. the titan then always comes to my location and leaves after 5 minutes. You can't miss those loud noises when they walk. But back to my problem ! The only thing made by humans that i saw till now where old ruins and 2 saddled horses. That must means that there are humans nearby. That's the reason why I did not give up yet but it's so dammn frustrating. 'I should rest on the next few ruins and sleep there.' It is getting dark and I don't like to run around with a half regenerating stump as an arm. It makes it so much harder to escape titans. I don't know how titans behave at night since I never saw one when it was dark. Maybe they get more aggressive. Maybe they sleep or have night vision or something. Anyway I don't want to find out. Now that I think about it I should have tried to ride one of the horses that I saw. Maybe I would have gotten a riding skill. I just dismissed it since I know I can't ride and I don't want to experience my first horse encounter again. I surely would have made me faster than by foot. For now I am gonna go full speed. thanks to those 5 days of traveling my Skill Running and my speed and vitality stats grew a bit. ==Status== Name: Kade Age: 10 ? LVL: 7 EXP: 921/6400 Title: None Health: 442/480 Regeneration: 0.03831/per second Stamina: 154/480 Regeneration: 0.8/per second Strength: 31+ Vitality: 48+ Speed: 49+ Agility: 50+ Intelligence: 11+ \/Free Points: 12\/ and my Running skill : ==Skill's== °Running LVL 33 1.78% This skill will passively increase your Movement speed by 33% and +9 Speed.Can also sacrifice 20 Stamina per second to increase Agility and Speed by 15. Running all the time helped Leveling the skill much. I just have to find a little bit protection to rest those sore foots for a bit. Well the next ruin I come across will be my resting place- As I was in thoughts a 5 meter titan came into my sight. "Shit not again !" I made myself ready and jumped as soon as he was in 8 Meter reach. A cool thing of my climbing skill is that it will help me get up to something I want and the way I want. It also counts to jump up something. And as I always do it I landed on the neck of the titan and used my only arm to slice a part of the neck. As soon as the neck part separated it fell lifeless to the ground. ==500 EXP gained== I quickly took a couple of steps back since I don't want to breath in that nasty steam. for me with an Smell Skill at LVL 14 it smells like burning plastic. I don't know how it smells like this but it does. And because of me jumping that high from the neck of the titan I saw 2 houses about 4 miles away from here. I activated my running skill and sprinted in the general direction. Feeling the wind blowing against my face is really relaxing. You feel free and it is a good workout too. After probably 20 minutes I reached the ruins and made myself home. I took out my bed and something to eat out of my inventory. Sadly my inventory is just a big invisible bag. It has the ability to stop time inside just like every system has. The only drawback is that I can only store things I can lift my self. But now enough thinking time to sleep ??? POV: We have now come across 3 titan an lost half of our man. If we do not find anything till our next rest we will have to come back empty-handed...'Those ruins look safe. Well at least safer than sleeping outside.' "EVERYONE ! We will use those ruins over there and rest. In the morning we will retreat!" Kade POV: 'Wow so that's my first encounter with humans huh ? I don't know if I should reveal my self right now. They could be hostile. I will confront them as soon as I know the circumstances of the people that live behind the wall.' And with that thought I jumped up the ruin from the other side and made sure that my hiding Skill is active. I hid inside the pile of straw that is on the highest floor and waited. After about 15 minutes of them talking and giving orders outside the settled down. some of them even came inside the house to rest here probably. Fuck I think 1 or 2 entered my room. No ones POV: person 1 : "I can't believe you lost our tent !!!" person 2 : "I didn't ! It was inside of Michael's bag." person 1 : " At least there is a pile of straw that we can sleep on.." Kade POV: 'FUUUUCK. Please don't go here' It would mean that if they find me they might think I tried to ambush them. I just have to survive the night without sleeping. If mother luck does not hate me then please don't let me be seen. They both jumped on top of the pile, without hesitation, not noticing the 10 year old kid inside it and instantly fell asleep. 'Must have been a hard day huh ? but I am sure that they will lead me eventually to their home.' 'Now I am even thinking like I am ambushing them in their home. Good that I did not show my self I would have probably startled them into attacking me.' about 10 hours later the finally woke up and left the house. I still waited 5 more minutes until I finally could move my body again. My hiding Skill literally exploded in LVL. ==Skill's== °Hiding LVL 39 67.90% This skill lets you hide better and also notifies you if other people are hiding, if the LVL difference ,of only the skill ,is 5. -39% chance of getting caught. This skill now lets you be able to pickpocket as well. - 39% chance of getting caught when pickpocketing. Wow. Hiding 10 hours without stop from 2 people and that only centimetres far away makes me better at hideng it seems. And the fact that I could not scratch my self or move at all was the worst !! Just one little move and the 2 would have noticed me. And I am Shure even if I would have gotten outside there must be people patroling in the night. I would get caught even faster than in here. But the unbelievable increase in the skill must mean that the accomplished must have been great. ' Well... I needed to act like a lifeless sack of flesh to not get noticed. I hate them already. But still...yea finally Humans !
