Chereads / Bypassing the System / Chapter 4 - Survival

Chapter 4 - Survival

I grabbed the first aid kit and the empty game box as I ran as fast as I could. I had no idea where I was going and it was too dark to tell what was near me.

I could hear animals fighting among themselves furiously.

Suddenly a huge ivory black lizard with pink and purple gems embedded on its scale growled in front of me.

It had some sharp metal near its tail and its claws were long and deadly.

SWoOsh-

It tried to smack me again and again with its claws and tail. I managed to roll away on the ground to safety and somehow avoided being hit.

I ran away without looking back. There was no way I am fighting that thing!

"System give sword. Lightweight. Durable. Best suitable for survival. Effective damage too." I had to have something to defend myself in case things go wrong...

I haven't even tested my own ability yet so I don't know what exactly I was capable of.

[Scanning materials. Best match found. AMBER'S CURSE. S Grade Legendary sword. Highly durable and indestructible. Increases agility stats on usage.]

"Cool! Gimme that!" I said excited.

A dark sword that had a faint light emitting from it gleamed in the moonlight as it slowly descended from the sky and gracefully placed itself on my arms.

There was something unearthly about that sword. The air around it felt chilly and haunted. But somehow I found myself deeply drawn to it....

"Let's test it out shall we?" I beamed, curious about the sword's ability.

I managed to evade the lizard's attacks. It was slower than expected but it's attack force was lethal, crushing whatever was in its path.

As soon as it smacked its massive rocky tail towards me, I ran towards it back and kept on poking it with my knife.

A dark smoky haze covered its wounds and it made a sound of distress.

Welp I never liked lizards...

There is no way I am going to fight that thing completely.

{Coward. Dominate. Step on it.}

As soon as it was distracted, I ran like my life depended on it ignoring the sus robot voice.

I ended up in some kind of cave that had a few shining gemstones around it providing light.

I collapsed on the hard rocky ground of the cave, exhausted from all the running.

"Phew...that was close! I almost ended up being the monster's midnight snack!" I gasped trying to take in deep breaths and calm down.

"What even are they?" I wondered aloud poking the shiny gemstones.

"Hmm...System give me a pickaxe. Strong material." I said while trying to pull out the shiny rocks.

It was unusually quiet....

"S...sytem?" My voice cracked a bit.

[Error 102. No connection found to main source. Initiating Emergency Shutdown. Time: 7 days 4 hours 12 minutes.]

Oh Hell Nah...

"How the (bleep) would I survive for a whole (bleeping) week without the cheat powers!"

Ah...Mr. Cuddles...He must have influenced me.

"What a nice freind...I wish he was here..." I sighed.

{Summoning contracted beast}

Ah the other sus robot is still active somehow!

PoOf~

Mr. Cuddles fell down in front of me with a heel is his hands still dressed up in whatever that was.

"...."

'....'

{I see you liked my gift. Nice taste~}

Sus bot sounded like it was smirking.

'HOW THE (BLEEPING) (BLEEP)! I WAS TRYING TO TAKE IT OFF YOU (BLEEP)'

Mr.Cuddles smacked the shoe in all directions with its muscular paws in fury.

"Ohhhh! Keep doing that!" I exclaimed happily seeing all the broken shiny crystal shards fall towards the ground.

My stomach suddenly growled and I remembered how hungry I was.

I wonder when was the last time I ate.

Hmm... I hope no one heard my stomach rumble.

'....'

"Never mind. I guess you heard that."

Mr. Cuddles sighed looking very tired and old.

'I give up okay.. I just give up so leave me alone. I have never been so humiliated in all my life.' He said stripping all of a sudden.

"Oh wow the therapy is working! You didn't cuss this time!" I said happy in seeing this growth.

{Oh my how scandalous!...Stripping in public like that without a care~}

'SHUT THE (BLEEP) UP YOU (BLEEPING) PERV!'

"Sigh...you need more therapy."

"I wonder if there's a mute option. System was much better than this creep." I thought as I heard the muscle bunny and sus bot bicker.

Aww...I think they are becoming freinds! My therapy might be showing some progress after all!

As my stomachs rumbling grew louder I couldn't help but wonder aloud "Say Mr. Cuddles are you edible? Kinda craving some rabbit soup right now..."

Mr. Cuddles just yeeted an entire shaft of rock and sat down in the corner with a huge crash quietly sobbing.

"Shh...Its okay. There's nothing wrong with a Macho man crying. It is completely natural to express emotions." I gave my professional advise to the rabbit as I felt up his biceps.

Mr. Cuddles kept on smacking his head against the cave's wall for some reason and sobbed even more.
