Chapter 2 first fight, someone called?
The sound of metal hitting something just as hard made me open my eyes as the sound of battle cries and bestial growls were certainly enough to wake practically anyone up!
And yeah, I got a few things to say! this is weird for me as well as the location again is a fucking forest, and I am butt naked in the middle of nowhere, and a group of kids was killing a huge ass lizard that was bigger than a fucking car!
Where the hell am I? and I need some fucking clothes!! (sorry lost myself for a bit there)
I scanned the area to see a lot of tall trees vacated of small animals or usable plants, so I hurried away as that being that sent me here tried to kill me, as I had received the info dump on my offerings and how to use them as well as some locked memories blended with mine!
Okay, at least I know the general location. I was in the world of soul sacrifice delta the southern realm Elvenvale, the forest of the elven queen. It wasn't too far from the Gingerbread village rather queer, no? that majority of the monsters and places are named after myths, legends, and Grimm tales, yet last time I checked, there weren't friggin dragons in the game other than that final boss you fight!
Unless this was an alternate version of the game, or what was that term again?
Ah yes, invasive species since the gods like to make life harder for the residence of this world since it was 100x larger than the earth I knew, better and greater amounts of resources. Population-wise it'd be a perfect world to use for faith and gathering believers. Yeah, it looks like it is still the cruel yet beautiful world as I remembered it by!
I quickly left the group of people and dragons fighting each other to continue what they were doing then looked around for some usable rubble as an offering. At the same time, I did manage to find a twig to take the form of my favorite weapon when needed, even if it was too weak right now. I also found some fruits to use as my healing offering, then finally some leaves that I quickly made into armor. It was a temporary solution, and I don't have that many choices here.
As I no longer felt the air blowing around my hanging sack anymore and the cool thing about the armor, it was like another layer of skin and muscle, haha! It made me excited about what I'll look like if I use other offerings later for armor, but back to finding more stuff. I tried exploring the area despite the ongoing fight as I stumbled upon a piece of metal that I could use a throwing knife offering.
So I quickly reached out to grab it, only for another dragon to get in the way and step on it, breaking the exact item I wanted.
The creature had large arms with blade-like claws. Its body was ripped full of muscle and power capable of overpowering humans, with two curved horns towards its back, a tail that was longer than its body, a long tongue as red saliva dripped from its mouth it wasn't injured. So that meant that a human or humans got eaten by this beast. But back to my precious, the dumb dragon just broke it....!
I felt some of my veins on my forehead pop as since I lacked resources. As I hoarded items for myself, I was a very miserly man, and those that waste offerings in games tended to demand a PVP match. To which I slaughtered them thanks to my offering layout and experience.
So I Clutched the twig that transformed into a magically enhanced wooden spear. It can handle 20 seconds of my mana before turning back into a twig. Well, it was a subpar item, but it will do.
While it seemed like quite some time but only 2 seconds had passed before the hungry and wild beast tried attacking.
*GRRRRRRRRR* "GWWAAAAARRRRRRRRRR"
The beast was even worse gremlins as it charged at me so confidently that its mouth was wide open while it swung its arms at a wide-angle hoping to squash me; however, spear's reach was farther than its arms giving the beast a full smack to the face since the item I made wasn't strong enough to pierce it. Still, It did break some of its teeth!
(A quick side note about the sorcerers of this world.
The terror of sorcerers lies in how they adapt and use everything to their disposal.
So if they managed to get an item that can be used as an offering. Especially for a weapon or armor that can reach the strength or power of their enemy?
either you kill them as soon as possible, or you will regret it because if the fight goes on, they grow with every offering they collect.)
(Item ranks from weakest to strongest, Subpar>normal>bronze>silver>gold>black>diamond)
A pained howl followed as one of its teeth landed near me. I smiled in delight at the item as it was nearly two ranks higher than my current item, so I unsummoned my subpar ranked spear and clutched the tooth creating a new spear that was even more terrifying than my previous one.
It looked very jagged and as if it was made for tearing flesh and blood, which made me think, I wonder if I'll be able to create a spear similar to Gae Bolg, the only reason why I know about it was the master of that weapon was sort of an idol to me, as he used spears then again I think he influenced me into specializing in such weapons both in the games and in real life.
But back to the crying beast, it was done trying to soothe its pain before charging again but more cautiously due to my earlier attack but sadly, thanks to my setup when I customized my body and the attack I delivered previously, I knew I was strong, powerful just not op.
Thus I met its charge after putting away my new item to begin testing how I'd fare through the strength boosted by my armor!
As I tackled the beast by the chest, failing to realize just how much my armor boosted me, mostly due to my mana!
I was still running, crashing the beast, that I was 'carrying' with my momentum, through some trees as it coughed up some flames only to stop from the pain, smaller boulders served to deliver more damage to it causing the dragon to try and claw at my back, then finally a small hill with a stone wall that is perfect for my brakes as I seem to be unable to stop....yeah, this is gonna hurt!
*BAAAAAAMMMMMM* *SFXs for a Dragon's death throe!*
With the sound of trees collapsing and my collision with the wall, I'd say I and this now dead beast with its tongue hanging to the side made quite the mess and a lot of noise, feeling a bit dizzy from the impact.
I flopped to the ground facing upward as everything was spinning~
But I quickly got my bearings.
After making sure that no one was nearby to interrupt me, I got up then began gathering whatever spoils that could be used or eaten from the carcass of the lesser dragon.
So I collected an eye, a claw, some meat, some scales, the horn that broke from the collision, and finally, its heart which I needed for a particular experiment, then I sacrificed it to increase my strength before getting the fuck out of there. Which by the way, the memories I got from it, it turns out that little fucker was a lesser dragon under orders of a stronger dragon and gave me an exciting subskill called fire breath. The offering need was mana!
So I'll get to practicing this As soon as possible!
One of my childhood dreams is about to come true, and I could even make fun of my friend's favorite move can't really remember the exact words, but I'll call the super-infused version fire roar tahahaha. Oh gosh, if my friend heard this, she'd probably kill me.
Fire roar pfft yeah, I think I should stop since who knows if I can have this kind of experience. What are the chances of my friend get it too?
Nah, not possible, with her luck psshh. Just don't tell her I said that, or she just might come here and beat the shit out of me! Okay, guys? Please? Pretty please?
Meanwhile at the town, the mess he caused made quite the stir as the local hunters reported there was a handsome yet naked man running around the forest, as well as some kind of green monster that beat the shit out of one of the lesser dragons that usually needs a group of 8 trained hunters to kill it.
----inside of a specific forest that our protagonist was in before he got teleported away-----
a young woman's voice cried out, "WHERE THE HELL IS THIS!?"
Back to our protagonist.
"Why did I feel a sudden chill?"
