The Hollow Zone (Dropped)

A man dies due to a earthquake and gets transported to a place where he thinks is "another world." Here he discovers that his species of creatures in this new world gets stronger the more they hunt and eat creatures to the point where their physical and mental form are enhanced. A month in this new life he sees humans, discovering that he wasn't in a new world but in a area on earth that was revealed thanks to the earthquake. Will he turn on the humans leading swarms of creatures to attack them or will he side by them and help them in this new world. (Hi, this is the author as you probably can see this novel has been dropped due to a major reason that impacts this novel, I do not know much about animal biology. I'm keeping the chapters up so authors who wish to use my novel as a inspiration could do so.)

"It's the beginning of the fourth week of being in this new life. As expected the other continents crashed into my continent. The damage was severe."

"Many new mountains were made, chasms were formed, and a lot of creatures died in the process. They either died from being crushed by the flying rocks, the water from nearby rivers, lakes, and ponds rising up and drowning them, or by other creatures who took advantage of the disaster."

"Even though it sounds like I wasn't affected by the disaster, in reality I was. I had to abandon my home when the rising waters came."

Luke wrote down on the wall of a cave that he had found. Luke began to recall what had occurred just an hour or so ago.

Luke woke up like usual and was really hungry. So he left the cave and went to the nearby river to hunt for creatures there. When he arrived he found several Hiders leaving the pond and running in a direction. Confused Luke looked at them and he soon found out why they ran.

The ground underneath him soon began to rumble and several loud noises were heard. Soon enough Luke saw something falling from the sky and when he looked at it closely he saw that it was a rock. Luke began to run away from the spot he was currently on.

As Luke ran he, turned around to see what was going on and saw more rocks hurtling towards him. Seeing this he sped up and continued running in a straight line.

As he ran away he noticed several more creatures running along side him. At first he thought they were here to hunt him, but figured out that they to were running from the falling rocks. Soon more and more creatures showed up around them and began to follow them. As he ran he saw many creatures be crushed by the falling rocks that were hurtling at them.

After minutes of running, the hoard of creatures finally stopped running and looked back at the chaos that occurred. What they saw shocked all of them.

There were trees collapsed on the ground and many large mountains were created. To the left of them a big chasm was created and to the right of them the nearby ponds water rised and created a lake. The rising water caused many caves in the area to be covered in water, Luke's cave was not sparred in this act.

As Luke finished reminiscing of what had occurred he looked at the marks that he made. "I should quite writing this down" Luke said as he got up and left the cave that he was in.

As he walked out he saw herds of thunder hooves tending to the injured creatures. Many creatures were seen dragging bodies of creatures that were killed in the continents crashing together or were sleeping in the caves that were made thanks to the earthquakes that occurred in the crash.

Luke sighed out as he saw the scene around him even though they hunted and hated each other in the past, these creatures still worked together to help each other.

Well some helped each other.

"Creagh*" Roared a stalker as it attacked a injured Shrieker. Seeing this Luke ran towards the stalker and slashed at it using his claws. When the claws connected with the stalkers face a deep gash in its left eye was made. The stalker screeched a bit before running away from Luke. Luke looked at the injured Shrieker with a look of pity. The stalker torn off the Shriekers left wing and the Shrieker can only move via flight, so with out it, its nothing but a injured lamb surrounded by wolves.

"Can't believe I'm doing this" Luke said as he picked the Shrieker up and brought it into his temporary cave. The Shrieker at first thought it was going to be eaten, so it began to shriek loudly. Many nearby creatures that heard the shrieks ran away and avoided the Shrieker. The only thing that didn't run away was Luke who was carrying it into his cave.

"Mate try having a Shrieker colony live near you and them shrieking all night at such a high pitch that will cause your ears to bleed. You'll be immune to such loud noises" Luke said as he dragged the Shrieker back into his cave.

The Shrieker tried to fight back by using its dagger like tale and tried to stab me. But when it hit me the dagger like tail bounced off my shell. Luke tossed the Shrieker onto a bed made out of grass. "Where did I put that claw" Luke said as he walked away and began to scrounge around a pile of legs and arms of various creatures.

Luke got these spare parts when creatures were bringing in corpses. They were being originally meant to be used as food, but Luke took "some" spare parts for himself.

"Ah found it" Luke said as he brought out a Stinger wing from the pile of body parts. Luke turned around and saw the Shrieker trying to get away from him "oh no you dont" Luke said as he used his, what he calls, weapon tails to drag Shrieker back to the bed.

As he did so he grabbed a rock that had a deep hole at the tip of it, when Luke moved the rock a bit a squelching noise could be heard from within. Luke then tossed the creature onto the bed, then used the Stinger wing he just grabbed and put it onto the spot where the ripped off wing was at. Luke then poured some sort of liquid out from the rocks open hole. When the liquid touched the arm torn off flesh that connected the torn off wing the the Stinger wing, the Shrieker began to screech loudly as if it was in pain.

As the Shrieker continued screeching loudly, it didn't notice that the Stingers wing was slowly combing with the socket that connected to its old wing. After a couple of minutes did the pain go away for the Shrieker. It naturally moved its wing in a attempt to get away, but when it moved its wings did it finally notice the new wing.

"Cree?*" The Shrieker was at first confused, then shocked, and then it finally understood what Luek was doing. "Cree*" the Shrieker, grateful for Luke's help, began to rub its head against his body as a sign of gratitude.

"Yeah yeah your welcome, now get out" Luke then moved the Shrieker out of the cave and it flew to what is left of its hive/pack.

Seeing the Shrieker regaining it's lost limb, many creatures began to see Luke as a creature to look up to. Feeling the gazes of the many creatures in the area, Luke went back into his cave and put the rock back into the area it was originally at.

What Luke just applied to the Shrieker was a liquid that he made himself when he discovered something marvelous about the Dipo. You see the Dipos are able to regenerate any lost or damaged limbs in a matter of minutes, thirty minutes top. So he combined the Dipos flesh with the thunder hooves healing saliva, and what was made was a liquid that could reattach lost limbs. Of course the making process of this liquid is long due to where you have to get the ingredients from.

The thunder hooves saliva is easy since they will give their saliva willingly, but the Dipo flesh is hard to get since they are dangerous to fight especially against a pack. Thankfully there were a lot of dead Dipos so getting the flesh of one was quite easy. All that was left form him to do was cut the flesh to tiny bits, crush and stir them with the saliva, and let it ferment in a rock.

...

A hour has passed since Luke has stayed in his temporary cave, he had several creatures come to him to give them new limbs, and he reluctantly gave them the new limbs.

As Luke, who was asleep, was minding his own business in his cave. He felt something was wrong. Luke got up and walked outside. As he walked out he could see almost every creature looking at the sky. Luke followed their gaze and what he saw shocked him.

There was a black pillar falling from the "sky" and heading towards the land. "Is that a drill" Luke said as he could see something at the bottom of the pillar. When the pillar reached a certain point in the sky, something unexpected happened. Cracks began to form in the sky as if it was going to shatter.

Soon a loud pitched noise was heard inside his head and it wasn't only him who heard this noise as the creatures around him began to act weirdly. This noise he was hearing was annoying him and the other creatures, and they knew where it was coming from.

"Kraaah*" Many ferocious roars were heard from every part of the world as all the creatures in the world began to look at the black pillar with hatred in their eyes.

Soon the cracks on the sky finally shattered ans the once bright and sunny sky was replaced with dark cold rocks. "What" Luke said shocked at the sudden change. From the center of the shattering sky the pillar was seen and it soon fell down and touched the grown.

The frequency of the pitched noise began to become louder and louder until it finally disappeared. Once the noise was gone Luke could feel liquid running down his face. Luke moved his right claw and touched the liquid that was running down he cheek and saw a red liquid on the tip of his claw. "Blood" Luke said as he stared at the pillar that was connected to the ground and the now replaced sky.

Anger began to build up in his body and after sometime he roared outloud, the noise he made sounded as if hundreds of thunder bolts just fell from the sky. When the creatures heard him roar they were shocked and backed away from him. They could feel the anger that was building up in him.

"What is it doing?"

"Why is it mad?"

"Is it mad at the pillar?"

Luke then heard voices that he never once heard from the nearby creatures. Luke didn't care about this and looked back at the white pillar that just got rid of the beautiful sky, that made him hear the ringing noise, and that made him bleed from his ears.

"Who ever is in that pillar will pay" Luke roared outloud as he began to tun towards the pillar. Hearing what Luke just said made the nearby creatures figure out why he was mad and reminded them what the pillar just did. Soon anger began to build up them and one by one they roared as well and charged towards the pillar.

Soon a wave of beasts that was made out of anger and bloodlust was formed and their target was the pillar.

"Hello everyone as you can see we made it to the core of the earth" a man in a full on white suit and was wearing a helmet said as he looked back at a camera. The man was not by themselves as about a hundred other were with this man wearing the same suit.

"As you can see we reached the center of the earth and are about to walk in uncharted territory. This new world will become humanities hope for the next generation" the man said as he pressed a button to his right. Soon apart of the wall began to rise up and show the outside world.

"Humities new hope" the man said as he pressed another button and stairs began to slide from underneath him and head to the solid ground.

Unknown to him, he had caused serious of good and bad events for humanity to now play out.
