Chereads / The Kings of The Unstable World / Chapter 3 - Tale of the Beasts Ch.3

Chapter 3 - Tale of the Beasts Ch.3

[Kages pov.]

Well that quest wasn't very difficult. *ping pling* I look at my Sliver as it displays a message:

"Congratulations on completing your first quest! You were team No.5 to complete quest: Establish a residence, You have been rewarded accordingly!" I glance to my left as 50 Chests fall from the sky, 20 Wooden, 20 Silver and 10 Gold outlined.

I barely get a chance to move before another message pops up.

"New quest!

Quest Name: Establish a Guild

*Note, Guild must have a Minimum of 10 members and consisting of atleast one medic.*

World time limit: N/A

Reward: TBD

Quest type: Mandatory"

"Well shit, No breaks for us eh?" I say looking over at Typhon still passed out beside the house. "Guess all that wracking did something to his body" I think outloud.

I sigh and sit down next to him, Back against the wood and for the first time since waking up I realize I have no clothes on.

*Ping Pling*

"Side quest:

Quest name: Aquire clothing

Time limit: 15 Hours

Penalty: Freezing to death

*Note, You are team No.1 to unlock this side quest.*

Reward: Life

Quest type: Mandatory."

"Welp, Guess there's that." I continue to think outloud.

I grab Typhon and sling him over my shoulder. After walking into the house I find a spot thats more reinforced than everywhere else and put him down to rest there.

After making sure he won't get killed whilst I'm gone I leave the house and walk into the forest.

After an hour or so of walking I decide to stop and close my eyes to listen to the forest around me.

*Ping pling*

"FUCK"

*You have stumbled upon the lair of "Tale of the beasts"

This is a Z grade monster. You have 10 minutes before they awaken.*

"They??" Alarm bells are going off in my head as I pull up my Sliver "What Grade am I registered at"

*Ping pling*

*currently registered at "Wandering soldier grade" better known as "G-Grade"

With your current skill level you can take on opponents up to "Lower Z grade"*

"Damnit, This thing is probably Upper Z grade. Well fuck it, No time like the present." I say as I engulf my body with a lightning shroud and extend a flame to my blade.

*Legendary ability "Fight to survive" has been activated. With your level stamina you have 30 minutes with this ability before it dissipates.*

I try my hardest to locate it before it wakes up. Or well, "They" wake up.

After 6 Minutes I stumble upon a cave and as I enter it I hear a low, heavy grumble.

"Shit, Has it already been 10 minutes?" I say before hearing a small voice in my left ear "Jump" Before I can think my legs lift me off the ground as what looks like a tree trunk swipes directly where I was.

As I land I swing my fiery blade infront of my to try to see. As my blade reaches the peak of its crescent I see 6 glowing eyes.

I jump back into an area with more light as one of the pairs of eyes charge at me. *It's a bear?!* I dodge to the right and plung my blade into its side, Igniting its bodily fluids.

The bears fur is now on fire as it rears up and tries to pounce. I dodge to the left and then back. I lift my blade up infront of me and notice my left arm has a 5 inch cut from my elbow down towards my wrist.

*Ping pling*

*Damage taken, All physical stats have gone up due to the effects of "Fight to survive"*

"Well that's useful" I say through gritted teeth as I feint a slash down only to lunge forwards and strike the burning bear directly in the heart.

"Sliver!" I call out "Analyze the situation"

*pling*

"Well that's a big fucking Bear." I say as I swiftly dodge the second bears attack.

I lunge forward again as the second bear rears up, Intending to slay it in the same way as the first.

"You look down on me, Human"

I hear those words right before I hear in my left ear again "Left....Right....Below....Jump back"

I have barely a split second to react before an attack appears from every angle the voice foretold. As I land I pour more energy into my blade, turning the fire white.

*Pling*

*Damage taken, Stamina has increased accordingly*

I feel a surge of energy rush through my body as I notice a gash on my chest.

I dash in and feint both a right and left swing into a pierce. I barely scrape the bear as my blade ignites its fur and it screams out in pain. My blade plunges into the ground as I land with both hands on the hilt.

I wince, Momentarily remembering my two wounds I acquired my chest throbs and my arm gives out but for a moment.

"Ditch the blade, On your right"

*That damned voice again*

Though I may dislike it, Again I obey. I dash to the left and jump back, Leaving my beautiful blade in the soil.

The bear half growls as I raise my fists and motion with my fingers for him to come towards me.

He charges and I dodge down-right and uppercut to the armpit then a quick left strike to a pressure point, Disabling that arm.

Of course this action lands me a paw square to the face, knocking me onto the cold hard dirt. I groan in pain as a stabbing sensation shoots through my wounds. I didn't even need to hear this noise this time, I got an upgrade.

I get up and dodge back as I make a circular motion with my left arm on my right shoulder, stretching and cracking it. I dash to the left of the bear and sucker punched his groin.

Then with my left fist I punch under his ribs and my right foot plants a kick to his kidney before I jump back. As I'm boxing this bear I use my Sliver to send a message to Typhon.

"... ___ ... 1.7800048764N :-;0.238782210048W"

I mark the message as urgent before wiping blood from my mouth and taunting the bear.
