Story 11 Great Great Asset Chapter 2

Dim lights filled the factory entrance I came into. And as I looked around I noticed that it was a lot more... Habitable or even welcoming for an entrance to such a hellhole apparently filled with monsters.

Like chairs and some benches were lining the walls and as I looked around the large greeting room my bracelet buzzed and in of my vision something glowed so I looked over at the glowing object and my lips twitched seeing it. 'Really?'

I walked over and took the item that was awash with 'primordial energy of the universe.'

"A fucking cosmic, rubber ducky?" I muttered with a wry smile as my bracelet's small screen beeped into life with its price tag being displayed. [Rubber Ducky 43$]

After a moment of thought, I shrugged and then pulled off my bracelet and it automatically expanded to form a ring that I could fit the Rubber Ducky of cosmic power around and with a hum the bracelet shot a ring of light above itself eventually forming a cylinder of bright light that completely encapsulated the object.

And then after a couple of moments, the light faded away with the rubber ducky disappearing and allowing me to put back on my bracelet before I looked at the entrance doors of the factory before I took a breath and went deeper inside.

Leaving the front entrance and heading down a large hallway with dirty linoleum floors I heard a small rustle in the distance before with a loud squeaking noise a rat crossed the length of the hallway and entered a small hole in the wall making me grimace at the sight before I continued on down the hallway until I reached a two way intersection heading left and right.

Unbidden as I looked down both sides all I could think was an imaginary sign on the wall saying. [Heaven to the left <. Hell on the right>.] Now that would be just my luck but relying on the way of keeping track of where you are going by continually going right or left, I went the way of my dominant hand in taking the right side.

This hallway actually had a strong curve to it so I couldn't see all the way down it as I walked down and eventually. I found an industrial metal door on the wall but it was locked so I had to keep going down the hallway even as my tension rose at the lack of any noise besides the crackling noise of the industrial lights.

A bit more walking down this way and I froze at the sight before me. I had seemingly left the factory... And somehow I was in an enclosed Mall or something with a lot of lights filling the large open area with light while in the roof were skylights letting in natural sunlight. 'Probably more special objects in here I guess.' I thought as I slowly entered the mall and as I looked around I saw a lot of stores that were boarded or otherwise closed down with metal shutters closing off the innards of the shop.

But as I looked around I saw a massive storefront that wasn't blocked off and it was a sports goods store!

'I can get a weapon and tools here!' I thought excitedly as I imagined getting some axes or something to pry off the plywood covering the fronts of the shops to see the loot within so I quickly but carefully walked towards the sports goods store while being mindful of the metal and glass debris on the floor that had originated from the broken skylight above.

The sports store was rather similar in design to the major sports and hunting stores of my previous life with a huge box-like design with two floors and a large escalator going between the floors and the roof was a good thirty maybe even forty meters above my head.

But as I looked around my face fell as the entire sporting good store was utterly wrecked! Like it wasn't an exaggeration at all to say that a bull went through this damned place as it looked like a fork lift or something had run through several area's leaving clear tracks through the path of destruction whatever it was took.

I bit my lip while listening to see if I could hear anything and after not hearing nothing I went up to the escalator to see if I the upstairs portion was wrecked as well but as I went up. I heard my bracelet ping quietly and as I looked over at the source of the pinging noise I saw the source was the hunting section!

So I quickly ran over to the hunting section praying for guns or something to be left behind and as I reached the area I grimaced seeing empty shelves and wall mounts but as I kept looking I first found the special item in a whistle that was glowing slightly so I grabbed that and then started shifting some piles of junk on the ground to see if there was anything hidden in the piles of debris of a couple fallen shelves.

"Aha!" I cheered quietly as I pulled out a cheap-looking collection of three small fishing or hunting knives that also had a longer thick blade marked for [Chopping through the toughest of sticks in the harsh wild!]

The only issue... Was the thick plastic packaging so I used a hunk of metal debris to cut it open and took out the knives but as I put the three smaller fold-out knives in the pockets of my jeans and took the longer knife into my hand I could have sworn I heard something in the distance that made me pause.

After a moment of thought I took some duct tape, I found and then thoroughly duct tapped the three smaller fold-out knives into a triangle pyramid-shaped point on the end of a broom stick so I could make a spear

It was like when you were in an utterly silent room but you could hear the 'buzz' of a tv or something across the house now that I thought about the noise in the distance more.

'Well I have a weapon now... Maybe I can be a bit braver now.' I thought as I looked around the sporting goods store and picked up a large backpack so I could put some canned, and other preserved snacks in the bag while also grabbing some bottled water out of the front fridges near the cash registers.

I experimentally took a drink of the cold and clear water and idly wondered if I could find the Ikea Building SCP so I could make a life there as a base. 

But as I stowed away my water bottle I froze as I heard loud noises coming. The rapid staccato of shoes running across the ground and then behind the noise was an all-encompassing dragging noise that also got louder so I whirled around to look at the entrance of the sporting goods store and saw my first living being here in this world.

'Human?' I thought seeing a woman in a somewhat revealing dress running while bawling crying out as a monster was obviously following her. And as the woman... Literally tripped on some debris and fell to her face I beheld the terrible monster that was going to devour her!

I blinked and rolled my eyes seeing the admittedly massive cockroach that was about five feet long and a good meter tall.

I looked behind at the entrance and not seeing any other monsters I didn't see an issue in killing the singluar bug as I had an important thought. and as the woman screamed bloody fucking murder as the massive bug which was screeching as it rushed towards her downed form.

I left my hiding place behind a fallen aisle and ran in from the side and with a crunching noise my three-bladed tipped spear crunched through the oversized cockroaches exoskeleton making it hiss in agony as I twisted the three blades making a large fist sized hole appear as I ripped out the blades with a hunk of its internal flesh and innards following on the serrated knives edges.

The cockroach whirled on me with its multiple stubby legs giving it more speed then I thought but it's turning its head towards me was a mistake as even as it raised its face and two massive baseball-sized eyes at me I just slammed the makeshift spear into its face with a loud squelching noise I popped its eyes and cored out it's brain as I once again broke through the thin exo-skeleton.

The cockroach violently twitched and I cursed as the force it used on the handle of my spear as its death twitch pushed me back across the ground and I grimaced at the reminder of how damned strong insects were once they were scaled up.

But thankfully it seems like I actually killed the cockroach as my braclet pinged out with the cockroaches corpse glowing slightly making me smile as my assumption was right.

'So the monster's are actually of value at least.' I thought with a smile but outwardly I was flexing my hands to get the feeling back in from the final death shove the cockroach gave.

"You saved me?" The woman whispered looking at me in utter confusion and then she loudly sniffled as she continued. "Why did you put yourself-"

I cut her off as I said with a wry smile. "It was a bug... Granted a big bug, but what kinda man would I be if I ignored a woman screaming about a simple bug?" 

Even as she boggled at me I took a breath as I wondered if I should try to stick together with her, or if she was utter deadweight. As I looked over her form I saw that she was actually rather beautiful with dark brown hair and matching brown eyes and with very ample and healthy curves that filled out her dress as she was still slightly panting to recover her breath.

Finally I shook my head and remembering my patron's reminders that I needed to get the points and money to support myself I was about to say my farewells as the woman stood up and while clearly wary of me she placed a hand over her chest and spoke. "My name is Mizuhara Chizuru what is your name please?"

And that's how I met a virgin hooker.
