I decided to hide in the bushes and observed the chaotic scene where players were being crushed by dinosaurs.
Using my Lumina Blaster, I aimed at one of the dinosaurs and fired. The impact sent the creature crashing to the ground, although it was not dead yet. The double-barrel shotgun with magically imbued bullets was no joke.
This particular dinosaur was around 3 meters tall, walked on its hind legs, and had short thighs, long feet, and sharp claws. It was relatively easy to take down.
I seized two larger eggs nearby and quickly retreated. As I looked at the eggs I collected there was a screen appeared:
[Rewards: 1000 gold coins and 20 EXP.]
A bit disappointing, but I decided to carry them for now, with the option to discard them if I found better eggs.
The forest stretched out before me, a lush sea of green, with towering trees that made me feel small in comparison. These massive trees reached high into the sky, casting shadows that seemed to stretch on forever.
I continued walking, taking in the pleasant weather and the beautiful scenery around me. It was a refreshing change from the ruined city that greeted my eyes.
Among the trees, I spotted the herbivorous dinosaurs moving peacefully, their presence adding to the enchantment of this place – that was until someone decided to collect their eggs.
I had no intention of causing any trouble with these gentle giants or their gray eggs. After all, it was likely that the rewards were the same as those I'd obtained from the earlier egg - a disappointment.
Until I could hear the sound of someone mating. Yes... They were doing it in the middle of a forest full of dinosaurs.
What the hell were they thinking!? I peeked a bit, not like I wanted to alright?! It was just because they were in my way!
The man has brown hair on top of the woman with red hair. The man's name must be John, meanwhile the woman's name must be Mary. Why do I know all of that? Because of their moaning.
"Ahhh.. John deeper."
"My sweet Mary, you don't have any patience, do you?"
I sighed and decided to walk away from them. That was crazy, why the hell did they even do that!? I started to grumble and cursed them.
I hated how lucky they were to have sex even in the apocalyptic world! Meanwhile, I'm still a virgin as ever. Stupid couple, at least get a room!
After walking not far away from them, I found a girl calling me.
"Ah, do you ever see a man with brown hair and eyes? His name is John. He is my husband." said that woman.
That was a coincidence, since the two of them disturb my peace, why not tattle it to his wife?
"Yeah, he's not far from here, near those bushes," I replied, pointing in the direction of their rendezvous spot.
"Thank you," she said and hurried toward the bushes.
Nice, must be a great drama. I decided to follow that woman, I needed to know what happened next because why not? I am the one who started it anyway.
Then, I heard that woman's voice screaming all the cursed words I never knew existed and even slapping John and Mary.
"Stop it, Brenda! You've lost it!" John yelled, his frustration evident.
However, Brenda and Mary were beyond reasoning, and soon they were locked in a physical struggle, each grabbing the other's hair.
Their commotion drew more onlookers, including a man who seemed to be Mary's boyfriend. He intervened, shouting, "Hey! What's going on? Let go of Mary!"
Reluctantly, the two women released each other's hair, and Mary pointed at Brenda, angrily saying, "Richard, help me deal with this crazy woman!"
Brenda defended herself, "Your Mary was sleeping with my husband!"
"What the heck? Is this true, Mary?" Richard asked his expression a mix of shock and judgment.
Mary vehemently denied it, "No, she's lying!"
"You bitch, ask this boy over there!" Brenda pointed at me.
Huh, oh well, since the drama becomes more juicy anyway, let's just make it worse. I mean, let's tell them the truth.
"Yeah, she's right. Mary and John were having sex with each other," I started with a deadpan expression, relishing the chaos.
Richard's response was swift, "You piece of shit!" He lunged at John. Simultaneously, Mary and Brenda resumed their brawl.
The chaos escalated as John summoned a sword and struck at Richard, who, in turn, pulled out a gun and fired at John.
Damn! That was a mess!
As the number 7 in apocalyptic world stated:
Don't engage in affairs during an apocalypse, or you might find yourself meeting an untimely end at the hands of your lover, or perhaps in the midst of having sex.
It seems that people tend to lose their minds in such dire situations.
Suddenly a notification appeared on the screen.
[The Prince of Chaos activated]
[Your damage increased by 80% and the chaos will spread throughout the island]
What the... I forgot I had this title. So it could be activated with just a couple of quarrels, huh? That's interesting.
But not for now since I could hear the sound of another dinosaur closing. While Mary was suddenly lifted by the claw of a flying dinosaur.
Suddenly, the dinosaur that I shot back then appeared and started to attack John.
Well, this did not end well.
I should probably run. Oh man, it was indeed my unlucky day! This chaotic title would be the end of me.
And I'm really sorry for the people who ended up in this messy drama. Although, thanks for giving me a great spectacle before all of your death.
Maybe because of some kind of karma, I crushed something in the middle of running. Something small and slimy. I could feel the shell from it.
It was eggs. Incredibly small eggs.
In front of me were a bunch of small dinosaurs looking angry and ready to attack my feet. Yeah, I know they were small, like 20 cm (7.9 inches), but there were so many of them.
They were the dinosaurs that attacked that little girl in the movie!
Without hesitation, they swarmed around my legs, biting and scratching, causing my legs to bleed.
"Ouch, that hurts!" I exclaimed in pain.
Fuck it! I use my revolver to shoot all of them, then for some reason maybe because of the sound of my gun, the larger dinosaur has arrived.
These dinosaur arrivals resembled rhinoceroses, boasting formidable horns on their heads. It was gigantic, as long as a large truck, and was typically herbivores and peaceful creatures.
But, why the hell did it start to run over here!? It must be because of The Prince of Chaos! Panicking, I started firing both my revolver and shotgun at the oncoming giant, but it seemed like I was just making it angrier.
My title should be working, right? Why was this dinosaur so tough? I mean, I'd managed to hurt it a bit, making it bleed and maybe blinding it.
But it keeps running toward me! So I ended up running as fast as I could! that dinosaur was hard as fuck!
"Freaking hell!" I couldn't help but scream. My foolish decision to start that drama had set this dangerous chain of events in motion.
In the midst of the chaos and running, I could see someone running opposite me, someone that I know. Running away from the T-Rex holding the golden eggs.
It was Matthias!
Our eyes met and it wasn't long before he was running straight toward me.
"No, stop, Matthias!" I hollered, my breath rugged and my body drenched in sweat from all the running.
"Help me!" he pleaded.
"Can't you see I'm running for my life too?"
How did he manage to show up and make this dire situation even worse? He had a staff and magical spells, which were undoubtedly more useful than my gun. Yet here we were, being chased by two ferocious dinosaurs.
"You stupid ass!" I grumbled as I veered right, trying to put some distance between us and the relentless creatures.
Matthias followed my lead, his face smeared with dirt. What on earth was he thinking? It hadn't even been an hour since the game began.
"I didn't have a choice, okay?"
The sounds of its heavy, nearing footsteps suddenly ceased, replaced by the noise of a fierce struggle.
Glancing back, I saw the two dinosaurs locked in combat, the rhinoceros-like one clashing its horns with the T-Rex's menacing jaws.
At least we had a moment to escape. We continued running until we discovered a suitable hiding place: the tallest tree we could find.
We decided to scramble up the tree, frantically searching our surroundings, praying that no dinosaurs were lurking nearby, ready to strike.
Man, my terrible luck just couldn't cut me some slack, could it? Why did I keep finding myself in these nightmarish situations?
It was still broad daylight, and I couldn't help but wonder if my bad luck was ever going to let up. If it didn't, I feared I might not even make it through the night.
"What the fuck!? Where is your staff and spell?" I cursed at him. I was still catching my breath as my body was sweating.
"I couldn't use my spells, okay? And my regular attacks weren't very effective," Matthias explained, also trying to catch his breath.
Then, I saw him take three golden eggs, what a greedy man. "Give me one of those," I demanded, pointing at the eggs.
"No way, I've been running for ten minutes because of this! Can't you see how terrifying that T-Rex was!?" Matthias protested.
But, I didn't care. I took one of those eggs from him anyway, "What? If you come here I will kick you from this tree."
"You jerk," Matthias grumbled, sulking.
***
Oh yeah, the dinosaurs egg should be massive and impossible to just dump it into the basket. But the system making it much more smaller so it can be loaded.
This are the list dinosaur in this chapter:
- Herrerasaurus
- Compsognathus
- Triceratops
- T-rex (of course lol)
