15 More Land, More DP, More Monsters, and More Stuff...
One month has passed, and a bird can be seen silently floating over Sandbox. The sun can also be seen slowly setting in the distance. And the bird decides to descend and rest for the night
The bird lands on a tree branch in the vast forests of Sandbox, and falls asleep... And when morning comes, the bird wakes up. It stretches for a bit before relaxing on the branch, taking in the fresh morning air
And then, the bird hears a loud crashing sound, and watches as a massive spiky bear comes flying through a couple of trees before crashing into the tree the bird is perched on
The bird quickly flutters into another nearby tree as the one it was just in is destroyed, and looks back at the massive and badly injured creature down below
That creature would be a Dire Bear. An impressively sized monster around 2 to 3 times the size of the average grizzly bear. And more impressively, is a creature holding the rank of C
But with such a high rank and massive size... What sort of creature could have possibly sent it flying...
Not wanting to be around for whatever happens next, the bird takes off and fly's into the distance...
The Dire Bear sees this, and wishes that it had a pear of wings in order to escape the monster that is assaulting it...
And speaking of said monster, the Dire Bear spots it slowly approaching from the wrecked trees. Seeing this, the bear stands up, gathers the last bit of energy it has left, and lets out a deafening roar that echoes throughout the forest. The bear then charges towards its foe in a fury, choosing to fight as a last sign of resistance towards its opponent
Seeing this, its opponent charges towards the Dire Bear with monstrous amounts of speed. The bear can barely react as its opponent seemingly disappears and reappears before its very eyes
This opponent then proceeds to start pummeling the bear at incredible speeds with its fists. So fast, that there appears to be multiple fist afterimages also battering the bear... But what kind of creature could do such a thing... What kind of monstrosity... What kind of...
(Bruce) "MUDA!!! MUDA!!! MUDA!!! MUDA!!! MUDA!!! MUDA!!! MUDA!!! MUDA!!! MUDA!!! MUDA!!! MUDA!!! MUDA!!! MUDA!!!... *Winds up for one last heavy punch* MUUUDDDAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!"
(Dire Bear) "GRRAAWWR!!!" *Pained roar after getting muda muda muda'd...*
...
Weeb... Thats what kind of monster it is... A weeb...
(Bruce) "Well that covers the testing for my new physical strength enhancing upgrades. So system, what do you think?"
(System) '...'
(System) 'I think you should learn more self control. You got way to carried away in that fight, and honestly, it was quite disturbing to watch...'
(Bruce) "Oh come on, I didn't get all that carried away during the fight..."
Bruce looks back at the unrecognizable corpse of the Dire Bear... And as he stares at it for a good 10 seconds... His dungeon core brain realizes what system meant...
(Bruce) "You know... I think you might have a point..."
(System) '...'
(System) 'Actually... It's not just the fighting that your getting carried away with'
(Bruce) "..."
(System) 'Lets look at the islands expansion. You've expanded it from 20 miles to 45 miles in just a month'
(Bruce) "..."
(Bruce) "I deny nothing..."
(System) '...'
(Bruce) "You know what they say... Make like Russia, and get bigger"
(System) 'I'm starting to comprehend what a German is...'
(Bruce) "Hey! I already know that I've failed miserably at controlling my German side, so give me a break already..."
(System) '...'
(System) 'And the outrageous upgrades you've made to your golem body are-'
(Bruce) "I'M SORRY OKAY!!! I just can't help myself when I'm in the middle of designing something!"
(System) '...'
(System) 'What is Russia anyways...'
While Bruce continues to argue with system... Sandbox carries on like normal, and the islands zones, expansions, and other things are as follows...
{Zones}
-Clawbster Cave: A cave located in the heart of the island and is surrounded by many other zones, new and old. (Currently undiscovered by the colonists) There is only one entrance to the Clawbster cave. The Clawbster cave is also located above the dungeon core room (Final Zone) (Hides/protects the dungeon core room(s)/the dungeon core/Bruce... that's a lot of /'s)
-Shady Cave System: This cave system is connected to the Clawbster caves entrance. This cave system is difficult to traverse, as conditions inside of itself are extremely dangerous. Filled with all sorts of terrifying creatures that get progressively more dangerous the deeper into the caves system you go (Currently undiscovered by the colonists)
-Monstrous Mountain Range (New!!!): A mountain range surrounding the Shady Cave System. While it may be somewhat small for a mountain range at present. As Sandbox increases in size, it will surely live up to its name... This mountain range is also built in a way that will hopefully divert attention up to the mountain ranges peak, instead of into the mountain ranges depths (This diversion has become its own zone) (Currently undiscovered by the colonists)
-Final Peak (New!!!): This is the peak of the Monstrous Mountain Range, and is built to act as a fake final zone. This zone will hopefully be hard to reach, as the Monstrous Mountain Range is treacherous and deadly, and it will take a lot of hard work to make it up to the Final Peak. Once reached however... The danger will only increase (Visible to the colonists)
-Horrific Mist (New!!!): This mist surrounds the Monstrous Mountain Range, making it extremely difficult to navigate. The mist surrounding the MMR is extremely thick, impairing vision by a massive amount. The mist also messes with magic detection, clairvoyance, compasses, ones sense of direction, and the use of magic itself. As the mist absorbs mana at a super high rate, making spells harder to cast, longer to cast, more expensive to cast, and less powerful. This mist also houses many monstrous creatures specifically tailored to the harsh environment. They are extremely aggressive, powerful, terrifying, and most of all... Deadly... [I'm imagining something similar to the Wraith monster from the game Evolve, by Turtle Rock Studios... And if you don't know what the Wraith Evolve is... Look up {Wraith Evolve} on google, and I guarantee you'll like what you see...] The mist also acts as a cover for the Monstrous Mountain Ranges expansion, with the peak of the mountain being the only thing peeking out from the top of the massive cloud of mist in order to draw in more attention (Visible to the colonists)
-Fishy Lake: This lake is located in the Scaly Forest, and it gives off a strange feeling... As there's... Well..... Something fishy and strange about it... Its a lake in the middle of the forest... BUT!!! There has to be something more to it! A catch maybe? Who knows, but you'll find out eventually..... eventually............ (Currently undiscovered by colonists)
-Scaly Forest: The default zone of the island, and is home to many different creatures. Some deadly, some not... (Being explored by the colonists)
-Danger Swamp: A swamp located on the opposite side of the island from the colony. It is filled with many dangerous creatures tailored to its murky depths (Currently undiscovered by colonists)
-Flaming Cavern: This cavern is located near the entrance of the shady cave system, and actually blocks it somewhat. The cavern is filled with all sorts of fiery demons and creatures. Combined with its already harsh environment, the cavern becomes a highly dangerous place to traverse (Currently undiscovered by colonists)
-Lime Slime Beach: A beach littered with Lime Slimes..... That's about it... (Each zone does have a boss monster however... So I wonder...) (Being explored by colonists... Not that there's all that much to be explored in the first place...)
{Current Dungeon Rank = A}
{DP...}
DP = 50,000
{Colony}
Population: around 300
{Bruce's Golem Form}
Rank: B+ (Without Equipment)
Rank: A- (With Equipment)
{End}
Meanwhile at the colony, a fleet of ships can be seen approaching Sandbox, some of which are damaged
The colonists seem excited for their arrival at Sandbox, as Captain Jem has informed them already about their arrival, and the colonists are eager for the new colonists to show up for many reasons. Whether its friends, family, or simply just a massive boost to their work force
The ships keep getting closer and closer to the colony, and eventually they reach it. Docking at the makeshift shipyard the colony prepared to make unloading supplies/etc easier
As the ships dock at the colony, Bruce stops arguing with system and remembers the colonists talk about more colonists arriving eventually...
(Bruce) "WAIT, It's that time already!"
Bruce hurries back to Clawbster cave in a hurry, accidentally bumping into one of the mist creatures from the Horrific Mist zone along the way, effectively scaring the living S##t out of him...
(Bruce) "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
After having a mental heart attack, Bruce had to take a few minutes to recover before continuing his journey back to his golem lab in Clawbster Cave
(Bruce) 'Well at least their scare levels are good if not overboard..... Actually... Yes, it is overboard... Very, VERY! much overboard'
Bruce thinks about the adventurers who will try and traverse the mist in the future... And gives them a preemptive moment of silence, seeing as the mist creatures will be their problem in the future, before finishing his journey back to the Clawbster Cave...
After reaching the Clawbster Cave, Bruce puts his golem body away in his golem design lab before he focuses all his attention on the new arrivals on the island...
The fleet of ships arriving at the island are carrying around 1200 people. Making the colonies total population around 1500
While the colonists are busy unloading supplies and conversing with one another however... Two people are standing in the middle of the town square with a massive ring of people surrounding them...
(Jem) "Are you sure you want to do this? Its not to late to back down now, as it'll spare you the trouble of losing again"
Captain Jem grins smugly at the man standing before him. That man would be the one he was talking to on the magic communication device a month ago
(Walter) "Of course I do, I have to make sure your not rusty after all"
His name is Walter Redbrook, and he's around the same age as Jem, with somewhat gray hair. He and Jem are currently facing off against each other, both of them wielding a shortsword for the duel
(Jem) "Well alright then, seeing as we haven't seen each other for quite some time. I'd definitely be up for a duel, as long as your cool with losing that is"
(Walter) "Whatever..."
Walter and Jem take their stances, and a random person from the crowd is counting them down
When the count reaches zero, both Walter and Jem take off towards each other. Creating shockwaves as they fight
Walter attacks Jem aggressively with his short sword, swinging it with perfect form. But even though his form is flawless, and the raw power behind the attacks alone pack quite the serious punch. Jem just simply blocks the attacks with ease before releasing a barrage of counter attacks... As the two C ranked fighters duel. Bruce watches in awe as the two superhumans dish it out
(Bruce) 'Are they really human system? I get that they're C ranked and all, but still! That strength and speed is monstrous, even for the increased physical standards of this world!'
(System) 'They are definitely human, I assure you. And theirs still many more people out there much more powerful then they are as well...'
(Bruce) '...'
Bruce looks back toward the superhuman fight going on at the colony, just to find Jem and Walter moving/fighting even faster/harder than before, and the ground beneath the two of them reduced to rubble
(Bruce) 'I looked away for a few seconds!!! A few seconds!!!'
Meanwhile, at the duel
(Jem) "Do you have the feeling we're being watched" *Swish-TIIING-BOOOM!!!*
(Walter) "Hmm... I guess I do have that feeling" *Swoosh-TAAANG-VOOOM!!!* "But I think were just imagining it"
(Jem) "Meh, I guess..." *Voosh-KAATIIING-CRASH*
