Island [#1]

Welcome to Skull Island!

Where everything wants to kill you.

'Shit-' His body shattered in two as the large beast snapped its teeth on his body, the impact itself was strong enough to kill him instantly, and he didn't feel that much pain from it.

"Uhhhh...." Getting up from his makeshift hammock, Devin groaned at the headache he felt- This was his 10th day inside this island. If you ignored the fact that he died, woke up in a plane, the plane fell into the ocean, and he somehow woke up on this island with some interesting powers. First of all, his system has many functions that he has unlocked, and to unlock them, he has to do tasks. The very first function he unlocked was the [Save and Load] function. This function works in a way so he can save a point in time and return to it at any time he wishes, but does so automatically if he dies.

The second function was the [Creation] function, which allowed him to craft and create things! From potions, salves, remedies, medicine, antidotes to weapons, armors, materials, and even otherworldly things that should help him survive this place- Well, that was his objective until he died for about 50 times already! Thankfully, each time he died, he returned to his [Save 1], which was this one point in time. He woke up with a headache because all his system functions were getting updated. Whenever he dies and goes back in time, his system functions all come back with him. Sadly, his stats and skills don't...

That's basically his stats! He spends a lot of time with the [Training] function activated to guide him on how he should work his body to improve it faster and faster, making his muscles and body grow stronger and stronger. When he arrived on this island 10 days ago (He died 50 times already, if he had to add up those days when he died, he spent more than 100 days inside this island already) his stats were all below 5 or at 5, thankfully he quickly grew stronger and stronger, or else he'd become food to every single thing inside this island! Sadly, this isn't the "normal" skull island as well because Devin has been killed by creatures he thought he'd only see in fiction- Dragons, Monsters, and even immaterial monsters such as a slime and a ghost. He was in a Nightmare Island where everything could and would kill him, even the fucking grass! For the past 9 days, he worked on getting a safe place to sleep, which is now this giant tree in which he made a home for himself.

The tree stands in the territory of the large herbivores of the island, the large Brontosaurus and Triceratops looking bitches- They were other creatures by different names, different sizes, different colors... The very first dinosaur he had to fight off was a dinosaur by the name Peracedon, a fishing carnivore who saw the opportunity to eat him and did so, that was the first time he died and it was painful and traumatizing- But hey, like he doesn't bring skills nor stats with him when he dies, he also doesn't bring trauma or PTSD with him! Which made the whole experience a lot more bearing... He does brings the memories of the happenings with him, but they're more like a movie, he watches it happen and is detached from the rather than connected to them. After going back in time for the first time, he ran into the island to hide from the 16 feet long dinosaur, only to run into an Aciedactylus, another long dinosaur that was a carnivore! And he died again.

Not from the Aciedactylus, no, those weren't too keen on fighting, they rather eat crabs and other mollusks, but he died by stepping into this small sharp rock, his blood called to the Nefandusaurus, a large bully of a dinosaur that although a quadruped was faster than the fucking Peracedon, its jaws were large and its bite strong enough to shatter his bones, he remember crawling desperately to try and get away from the big boy dinosaur, but he was eaten in the end.

After his 5th death, he started to get a little smarter about his circumstances and tried to go to the forest slowly, he made a makeshift lance with a stick and tried to keep a low profile by walking slowly, flinching at every sound he heard in fear that another big creature would jump out of the shadows and eat him alive again- Thankfully such thing did not happen! Devin managed to get to the Herbivore habitat, but it wasn't a surprise to see so many carnivores there, too, as their food lived there!

He came face to face with a Brontosaurus the size of an adult cow- Which was weird, until later on that he discovered that these herds of Brontosaurus were female biased, where the females would move from herd to herd to mate with the dominant bulls of the other herds, these dominant bulls reached the size of about 120 to 150 feet in size, outgrowing the smaller males that were kept as a form of canonfodder for the carnivores to feast upon. These smaller males were genetically suppressed by the dominant bull, who released hormones and pheromones that caused growth dystrophy between the recently born males, making so they cannot grow to their full height and become other bulls. Cruel? Not really. Although really rare, some were able to resist this, becoming bulls themselves and going to make their own herds! Devin was able to witness a full-on birth of a Brontosaurus.

Like, birth! These ones didn't lay eggs, which was weird as fuck, but he didn't care- He wanted one, no, he wanted a whole herd to be his safety net. He dreamed of making home atop the Bull Brontosaurus, the largest of them, and somehow control them like in Ark Survival Evolved.

But as it turns out, his dreams were futile. He died being stepped on by the large bull when he accidentally approached one of the little ones, recently born, and he learned the hard way that they were really territorial! Ferructus, or the large Triceratops-like dinosaur that followed along the herds of the Brontosaurus, were even more territorial and aggresive against those theg dis not recognized as their own, which had Devin keeping his distance from the herds and trying to make his own home amongst the treetops, but he had to get the really large and thick trees to live atop or else the Brontosaurus would tumble it down.

Of the more... Mystical creatures, Devin had an unfortunate encounter with a Pixie, a small humanoid with little wings that glowed and released light whenver they flapped their wings, these little things also sadly brought alongside them their predators, large beings made out of shadow that ate the Pixies, he called them Shadows because that's their name. "Fuck..." getting up from his hammock, Devin looked down at his own nakedness- he had used his clothes as makeshift wrapping clothe for rope and others, he needed them to make weapons, and to make substitute clothing he resolved to the cut fur of smaller mammals that were defensive and really hard to hunt, after all, they were adapted to this place! It's impossible for them to be easy to hunt unless he was one of the dinosaurs here. "At least I got what I wanted from that..." What he did before his most recent death? Well, on day 12 of his stay here, he went after a giant V-Rex to find and break one of its eggs, which was the last of his tasks to unlock the function he wanted the most:
