Chereads / Fallen Sky / Chapter 6 - Orcs

Chapter 6 - Orcs

*BOOM*

With a sudden explosion, Nainoa and Blue wake up. Cooper already barking in the darkness. Nainoa rushed to the balcony to see what was going on, and to his surprise he sees nothing. The city known as Honolulu was gone. Not a high rising tower in sight. Usually from his house, you can see the light of towers, but when he looked he can see that there is nothing but the coast. Not sure what was going he decides to try and sleep. If anything can take down a whole city, there's no point in running around on a small island. No matter where you go that danger would always be next door.

The next morning Nainoa got out of bed still tired, he didn't sleep until a couple of hours before he woke up. "Are we gonna be safe?" Damn, I forgot that he's here. "Yea, safer than being in town, with whatever did that." Hopefully, it doesn't come up here. "Well, I need you to do a few things. While I go and scout the town center for supplies." This is gonna keep him busy and safe. I'll leave Cooper here to protect Blue since he doesn't know how to fight just yet.' "Okay, as long as I don't have to go out." Well, you're gonna leave the house soon. "We need to make a small farm since dinner isn't guaranteed." I really need to do this eventually but since he's here might as well make him work, right?' "How do I do that?" "Just gather cardboard place it down on the dirt, from there just place wood chips on top. They just chipped a tree couple of weeks ago, so just grab those. Then we just gotta get some edible plants." Well, it sounds easy but really is a long and hard process. "Where do I get the cardboard?" Oh yea, that's kind of important. "There should be some in the closet, or in other people's houses. Just bring Cooper with you and it should be fine." Yep Cooper could definitely deal with goblins. "Okay..." He's old enough to handle this... At least he has to be now. "I'm going to go to the mall, just don't leave the neighborhood there could be monsters out there." I should probably look practice mana heart after I'm done checking the town center.

The Town Center is a sort of recreational spot for the residence of the town to enjoy food, and entertainment. It is shaped in a square that has been divided into 4 smaller squares. In the center, there is a stadium with a small stage. This area is meant for kids to roll around in the turfgrass, and local bands to play. This once happy atmosphere is now replaced by blood and dead bodies. Nainoa seeing this sight frowned, though it wasn't as much compared to the first day, it still a scene that nobody wants to see. Nainoa slowly making his way to the restaurants. The first thing he's concerned with is food. Other things can wait, since without eating there is no point. 'Ralts' Ralts appears next to him looking around confused seeing that it's in a different place. "Ralts stay alert, I'm not sure what how many enemies are there, but they're definitely are here." Though I know Ralts can't do much its better to have another set of eyes.

As Nainoa starts to head towards a W*lmart. As he's walking through the parking lot he sees multiple cars and other vehicles. Some like they have never been touched while others look like they have been in a car accident. As he gets closer to the entrance he sees that door was left open, rather forced open. Being one of the worst indicators, Nainoa contemplates if going inside was worth it. Before making his decision he decides to hide in a car to scout it out. He finds a car with a broken window, that has a view of the entrance. As he closes the door and peak out of the window. He sees a huge green figure come out. 'System what is this creature?' "It's an Orc, though they are big most of them have the same intelligence as humans. They shouldn't be considered monsters but rather another race." 'Is it possible to communicate with them?' "Not possible for Host since Host doesn't know the orcish language." Make sense... Maybe they can communicate through gestures. D*mn looks like I have to home empty-handed. We should have enough supplies for a week. Plus there should be another store about 5 miles west from here. I should prepare to set out tomorrow, and hopefully, I can get more supplies. Thinking of what to do for the rest of the day, a screen pops up and in front of him

*Ding* System has been ordered to give Host a Daily Quest. Daily Quest-

-0/100 push-ups

-0/100 sit-ups

-4/5 miles

Rewards:

x1 Random Reward

This is really helpful even though the items are random anything at this point could help. But what does it mean by 'ordered'? Am I being watched? 'System what do you mean ordered?' "Host does not have access to that information." It won't even give me a hint, other than its being controlled, and my progress is being watched. Well Doing the exercises cant really hurt. Especially with my strength, and speed, it should be fine.

As Nainoa starts doing the quest, a beast that looks like a giant sloth, but if it had two protruding horns that stick out from its head, and a long tail with a club at the end. It was all black and when in the dark, the only thing that's able to be seen is its red eyes. It lets out a booming roar. Buildings in the area start to shake. As the beast roars it stops, It turns to the left and a group of three Orcs charging it. These orcs were wearing clothes that made out some type of beast skin. Their weapons were made out of steel but with a shade of brown on the blade. They were about 8 feet tall and all muscles. Though they were huge themselves, the best made them look tiny. "Teg gudjag Zutgorak." (What a big monster) one of the orcs exclaimed in a weird language. "Do you think we would be able to kill this Duskbison?" "You're right it looked like it mutated." said the orc to the right. "Ha... should be easy, as killing a goblin." the orc in the front arrogantly said. At the moment all three of the orcs rushed the Duskbison. The duskbison lets out a fire covering the area with a massive flame. When a massive hand came from underneath its jaw, closing it quickly. The Duskbison jumped and used claws to scratch below it. The flames stopped and the other two, who had dived behind a car, ran out and charged the Duskbison, one jumped above it, going for the head. The other going for its side. Since there was no option to dodge both it moved its body to avoid the hit to the head, and take the hit in the body but avoid getting hit in vital areas. Seeing this the Orc that missed the head strike went for a slash towards the neck. Being held by the other Orc, the duskbison couldn't move, and before it could try and shake off the other orc, its head started to roll. Looking at the now limp duskbison, the two searched for their 3rd party member. When they look they see that the Orc that got scratched was bleeding profusely, and had been poisoned. The orcs taking a closer look a the duskbison claws notice a clear liquid coming from underneath the claw. The other seeing their friend suffer, grab his sword, and end the poisoned orcs suffering. "He was a good warrior but was too arrogant for his own good." said the orc to the left. "Yes, he became careless... We should bring this beast to the hideout, surely the claws could make for a good weapon." The orc to the right said, with a somewhat saddened face. "I'll see you in the after hunt brother." As the orc said this both of them grab their weapon and held it towards the dead orc, saying their goodbyes they grab the dead orc's sword, and carry the monster body towards a valley.
