Jacks pov
"Finally, the two snakes are dead, that took way too long," Jack said while breathing heavily.
Sung Jin-woo " Ye, hopefully, it means double the reward though, as your presence affected this dungeon quite drastically, well according to my system anyway." He said also breathing heavily.
Jack "Well I've already said I didn't mean for this to happen, this isn't even my power that got me here..." A sad look comes across Jack's face.
Jinn-Woo "Sorry, as I said before, I'm here to help whenever I can and with anything, I sort of know what it's like losing family."
"Thank you, Jin-Woo... also here you should have these, not really my style, also I can't use this potion so you should have it."
[accept trade from Jack lion}
"accept"
[gained +1 kasaka's venom fang! +1 kasaka's venom gland}
after this interaction, the instant dungeon disappears, as the two now appear in the normal subway.
"it's quite empty isn't it, what's the time?"
"no clue Jin,"
{Jack will be forced back to his world, the group chat will now be active, group dungeons, group raids and group summoning will now be available to both parties}
"oh, umm good luck Jack, and let's keep in touch, ye speak to you soon." A comforting smile on Jin-woo's face.
"ye let's do that."
Jack then is pulled into a blue portal, appearing where he left, only hours later.
Sophia " Jaaaaaack! As she bear hugs his legs, we're, where did you go, I was worried."
"Sorry Sophie, I'll warn you next time, ok, I did that so I could deal with my frustration was all. Sorry I made you worry ok."
nyxondra "There you are!"
"oh shi."

Sapphire pov
1 year later
a once lively village within a thick forest of trees now lays silent, buildings destroyed, and corpses lying everywhere, ripped apart, nothing was spared.
a bone while the creature stands among the wreckage with smiling eyes shoving the recent souls, and corpses into its mouth.
consuming the last souls within the village, a sudden vortex of magic and unknown pressure surround the white creature, sucking in evenly the last drop of magic that is within the area, as it starts to grow larger and larger, its form changes and shifts. It roars in delight as it grows stronger.
only for it to stop suddenly, its mask cracking, falling apart.
what once stood tall now roaring in a panic as it starts trying to keep its mask together, pushing back on with its clawed hands, only for one of its hands to do the opposite, tearing and breaking the mask more and more.
after a long struggle, the mask breaks fully, and a shell of the creature is left behind, before falling and shattering into many pieces, what's left behind, is a Kristine with white hair, a heavily scared body, messy hair and a miserable look as her hair is patchy and messy, her tails similarly missing fur and her body skinny.
she collapses onto the floor exhausted.
Hours later.
The young girl slowly wakes up.
with extreme effort she crawls forward, hunger clouding her mind.
Hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry.
she can be seen tearing into one of the many corpses left behind, not even bones are left hind.
"unknown adventure " what kind of monsters clear out a village like this, there is nothing left, nothing, like seriously, no money, no weapons, no money, no gear no body, no bones, just blood, it like it was raided of everything that was not nailed down, and monsters eat whatever was left, this is bizarre, let's report this to the guild.
"ye, this is really creepy, the pace is nearly standing, and look at these claw marks, and the mana within the area is severely drained, like there is nothing, are spellcaster can barely do anything without severely draining their own mana.
sapphire quite a distance away can be seen eating a whole deer, it's been a couple of days since she exited the village, wearing some random clothes she picked up from a line, the clothes are mismatched in colour and have been patched with leaves, sap and moss.
{hunt}
hunt to gain your strength back
{15/10 animals eaten daily mission}
{115/200 creatures consumed, until full restore.}
{Gain full heal, stats restored, title, survivor,}
sapphire continues to hunt animals until she hits 20, before heading to a den she found and fought for.
Her den is a cave, it is not too deep and has an elk pelt outside drying, a small Dakota fire pit in front of the den, a small collection of sap in a stolen bowl, moss in another, and fire-making in another.
near the right end of the cave, she has a covered pit, this pit has many different poisonous bugs within it and a small bottle with a small amount of liquid within.
{poison resistance has gone up}
sapphire puts a vile down and walks to the edge of her den checking some basic traps she made around her den checking to see if they have caught anything.
After a bit of time, sapphire has a solen bowl over her pit fire with ice within. An additional brown with water next to it, and drinks some of the freshwaters.
The bushes rustle,
"Cave, mine now."
"fuck off."
"cave, mine!"
"no."
the bush catches fire as a bear rushes out, its fur sparking embers.
The bear charges into the elk pelt burning it.
"my fucking rug!"
Sapphire jumps towards the bear and punches it in the face.
Sadly to little effect.
the bear retaliates by slamming its paws into Sapphire, sending her flying into a tree, making Sapphire cough saliva.
the bear once again charges towards Sapphire.
Its fur spitting embers, showing its anger towards the bipedal creature in front of it.
Sapphire still dazed rolls to the right, her leg slightly winged from the bear's fur, and the bear itself smacking into the tree.
with this opportunity sapphire extends her claws, and with a reckless dive she slashes one of its eyes, only to be sent into the air. The bear wildly swings in her direction as it loses some of its eyesight.
a cracking sound from Sapphire's ribs could be heard as once again is sent into a tree.
"pain, hurts, damn fox!"
Sapphire gets up. And runs towards the small vial of liquid next to the covered pit.
Picking up the vile she's able to dip 2 claw tips into it before needing to drop the vile. Avoiding a reckless charge of the bear once more.
Sapphire backs up and waits for the bear to strike, the sparing bear seeing this, turns up the heat, instead of sparking, it is now fully on fire as it pounces towards Sapphire, knowing if it did so, she would be pinned she once again rolls, this time to the right, avoiding the crushing weight of the flaming bear, slashing at the bears legs, she cuts into it slightly, but not really affecting the bear it swipes at her.
Sapphire quickly dodges underneath the paw and once again slashes at the bear, this time cutting a bit deeper, but getting burned in the process.
Sapphire lunges toward the damaged eye of the bear with her two coated claws, piercing the eyes once more.
the bear roars in anger it swings wildly burning Sapphire and once again flings her in a random direction, thankfully no tree to stop her as she hits the ground.
"Fox will regret this, will be back!"
as the flaming bear's coat is flickering, and running out, the bear turns tail and runs.
Sapphire waits for a couple of seconds before slowly following the smouldering paw tracks of the bear, seeing where it went.
