Dragon pov
There has been many strange things happening in this city for the past few days. If I didn't know where Behemoth was, I'd have to turn an the endbringer alarms. With all all the underground quakes, ether Behemoth has a little brother, someone has taken up mining with TNT, or a new parahuman is digging a base.
It seems that the last one is the most likely. One of my droids found a six by six foot hole in the ground going straight down. I send a smaller one down while the bigger ones monitor the area. After two hours of flight down, their are four more paths to choose from.
I deploy more bots to scout the tunnels, but it'd take time to get there. It doesn't help that the only way that I'm controlling this one is the straight hole up. I shot a flair down and watch it's descent into the dark abyss. When the other bots get down there, I can no longer sense the light of the flare. How far does this go? I can't name anyone that can do this in a month, let alone a few days.
I set the droids to auto pilot and send them into the new tunnels. Hopefully, who ever did this is friendly, doesn't see the droids, or is already gone. Now all I can do is wait for them to come back with data.
The hero of Terraria/ BeamardAs I grab onto the lever, I trace the runes groved into the metal and think back at my life tell this point all those years ago. I started my life with a copper sword and tools. My only help at the time was a guide that I long since forgot the name of. At the time, I followed all that he said to do. Build a house, find metal, and build more. Those were the happy days in my life. Simple to do, low risk, and completely new to me.
If it wasn't for the mirror that I found, I'd have died so many times. Sure the dark unknown of the dark is scary, the monsters are terror inducing, and constant fear of death is horrible, but the loneliness was the true killer. With all the new people to talk to, I found out somthing very fast. All of them are fakes. Just dolls meant to do predetermined things. No free will to speak of. It was the most hunting thing I found.
After the first few years, I lost myself in a blur of gathering materials. Soon I found nothing left to gather. Luckily one of the spells could send me to a new world. After that point, my life started to get HARD.Stronger and new enemies all around, many new biomes to explore, and new this to horde. Soon I found a problem with storage. Thankfully I found a way around it. Chest inside chest with everything I have were stored inside of my vault. With my storage problem solved, I went back to my adventures in that new world.
After a lot of time, that world to was left a barren hole. That was my life, kill, dig, store, and move. I don't know how long I was lost in my greed for more, but all that time broke me. If I couldn't find a way for somthing new to happen, I'll just have to make it.
That is how I got here, looking at a lever. Alien tech tanks with wires and tubes lined up in perfect symmetry. Magic runes are marked all over the contraption. Pure magic, power, and essence of the strongest beings in the all time are contain inside the tanks. I check one last time in my mind's eye that I haven't frogot anything. At this point I know I'm just stalling. If this doesn't work, then I'm going to die. Either way I'm going to be free from this hell. Without waiting anymore, I slam down the lever.
Did I not wire it up right? I must have not-
" Fuck that was bright."
My first words in years and it was that. Moonlord that was bright. I haven't had the displeasure of being blinded since I made the best shield. Thankfully I get to see the green of trees soon after. Time for one of my oldest traditions of going to a new world, dig a hole straight to hell. I get comfy in my chair as I drill downwards. There seems to be a lack of caves here, but that's new so good. I take out a music box and count down the time that it takes to drill to hell.
Well, this is new but a little boring. Still just rock or dirt and some big veins of iron but nothing else. At this point I should be at hell or some super robot hell by now but nothing. After many hell worths of time, I come to the largest node of lava I've seen. No mather how long I dig around, I can't get around it. No way in all the hell's am I going down there, but there could be cool new loot.
I get out my swimming gear and lava potions. I chug one down and hop in. I haven't really needed to turn into a merfolk, but then again, I haven't needed to swim in a ocean of lava. There's just easier ways around it, but this is refreshingly new to me. After some time of swimming, I find the lava turning a weird consistency that I haven't felt before. I almost feels like how a slime looks. Weird, new, and hard to describe, I'm loving all this.
In the slime like lava I find gems, big rocks, and slimly metals. Is this how slimes are made? Now much else is down here so I go back up my hole. Somewhere near the top of my hole, I start to dig in all four directions. In the first one I found and had to plug a huge under ground water node. I catch two of each type of animal in there and leave. These will be a good new addition to the farm. The other two are just boring, so I start to head to the Mountain I saw when I arrived.
By now I should be under it, so up I go. As I near the top of the Mountain, I find out another new thing. The dirt falls like sand! I must test this out more. I dig to the service and start testing my materials.
It seems that everything falls now. Well, all but a few this I have. It also looks like things can fall over or into themselves. I'm going to have to build differently now. Near the base of the mountain I start to build a Chlorophyte foundation with long spikes going deep into the ground. Walls, life systems, plumbing, wiring, turrets, rooms, etc. Decorations line the walls, rooms, and ground. I try to imagine talking to people here. What would try do, where would they sit, or what have you. Moonlord I NEED to find real people.
I change into my scouting gear and grab my sniper. I Close up my home and chug a invisibility potion. Afterwards I fly upwards to scout the area. What I see is a little too new for me. Homes all over the place made of many different things. Big and small, brick and metal, wood and glass.
At first I thought the place was swarming with a horde of undead, but they're just badly dressed. It also seems that they don't wear any armor, or they're all proficient Mages and can do cosmetic changes to their looks, but why would so many look that badly. No, they're just wearing bad clothing. If this many people can walk around with no weapons or armour, their protectors must be very proficient.
I change my armors look into the first decent clothing I can find. I land in a vacant spot and drop the invisibility. I straighten my top hat and walk out in all my pink glory. It seems that no one is hostile to me, so I guess I'm in the clear. Some even look at me in shock and awe at the sight of me. I start to stroke my ginger beard as I look at the buildings.
It looks like these buildings are used for trade? I walk into one that looks like it sells technological accessories. I pick one up and start to examine it in detail. It seems to be a inferior PDA to me. It does have somthing called calling, texting, and internet though. I pick it up and walk to the merchant.
" Good evening my good Ms.-- Evens, I'd like to purchase this device. How much coin might it be?"
" Good evening to you Mr. Pink Guy. That one will cost you a pretty penny. Do you already have a sims card and provider?"
I pull out a Platinum coin and put it down on the counter. She stares at it with a shocked look and picks it up with shaking hands.
" I can make anything it requires and I can provide for myself, but thank you for the information Ms Evens. Have a wonderful day."
With that I walk back outside to look around more. After some time of walking I start to feel a strange ache in my stomach. It was at that point I smelled it. A new type of food! I speed walk into the building and sit down like the rest of the people. Watching the others, I looked at the listed foods. By Cthulhu's Blood, there's a free one! All I need to do is eat it all here.
" What you want to eat pinky?"
" I would like a Challenger please."
They write it down and walk away without another word. After some time a man with my food comes.
" If you don't know the rules, I'll tell ya them. Eat it all, by yourself, here, no leaving or ya pay. You'd not be the first I'd call the police on for not paying, and you'd not be the last. Now eat up or pay up."
I give him a big smile and nod at him. He give me a hard"?" look and walks into the back room. Thirty minutes later I'm done and look at my buff. Increase of 40% health with a 20% decrease in speed. This would go great with my defence build.
" By God ya ate it all with time to spare. Sam! Get the camera, the colorful giant did it."
" Ha, you hear that Justin? That's the sound of me winning the bet. Oh ya, the camera, catch!"
" Ya little fucker! How many times I tell ya not to throw shit! One more time, One!"
There's a flash then he puts a small painting of me on the wall.
" If ya start coming here every week and eat like that I'll throw you out. Unless ya crook from the grease! Do use both a favor and don't eat here again tell at least a month goes by. Now get!"
I do a simple tip of my hat.
" Thank you for the food Sr."
With that I leave this building to continue to map out this place. After some time I notice the buildings start to look older. They should really fix this place up. I'd probably get yelled at if I start to mess with others homes. Maybe I could plant some trees and flowers? I couldn't see why I couldn't do that.
" Hey you fuckin gay ass giant, your money or your life! Maybe if ya be quick we'll only beat ya half ta death."
Ten people, five with "normal?" handguns, four with trash melee weapons, and a guy in a Steel mask. Easy to kill, low risk, talk?
" You all look like reasonable people. How about we enjoy this wonderful sunlight and go about our day."
With a snarl, one of the bald ones pulls out his gun from his pants. With a single shot, the illusion on my armor breaks. It looks like they want to kill me, so I guess I'll do that too. I summon my gun and start to unload exploding hell onto them. I wait for the dust to settle and find a metal golem?
It charges at me at a rather slow speed. I switch out for a more corrosive ammo to kill it. It tries to run after I start to shot it from within my spacecraft, but after some time it can't move anymore. It seems that a person is in there? I start to rip into the chest to find the masked man. I wonder how he did that? I pick him up, give us both a invisibility flask.
It seems that no one got inside. I lock the man down and start to study him. I've seen butterflys with more magic so that's out. No tech on him. His insides are strange but doesn't cause his ability, it only is a by-product.
It seems that the link is a parasite that makes the host want fight. It looks Hollow in nature, and is most likely a link to a interdimensional creature of power. "Small?" reasoning power and or lack of creativity. What does it want? Maybe they want to grow more? They can't even think enough to be bored or at least I think it can't.
Hopefully I can get it out without killing him, but if not? To bad to be him. With a button press, the link is floating in a jar. It seems to still think it's doing its job. The jar is simulating what the host would do in everyday life and the host is alive? A kick get a pained mon, so I think he'll live?
Hopefully this big trashcan is a good bed for him. If not, hurts to be him. Now since that's done, I can go back to looking around. The sun looks beautiful when it rises. I'm in a fishing mood right now.
Clothes check, earring, defense accessories, and illusion in place are all checked. I put down a chair, bait the hook, drink a fishing potion, and cast out my line. As the day passes, I think to myself, why am I not talking with more people?
And End!I hope someone likes this and makes somthing for me to read! If you don't get somthing i wrote, cool, your not a clone of myself that I that have to find and kill to be the only me out there.Before anyone types somthing bad about this, all I have to say is --"Make your own Weeb ass fanfics so you can beat your dicks off to it."Now someone may get mad at that and that's cool.By weird people of the web.
