SLAP* an audible slap echoes around the mostly empty valley as i groaned from he face palm i gave myself

'i could've not spent almost three fucking hours in these makeshift undies...fuckkkkkkk'

i quickly extract the clothes from the inventory and wear them, still berating myself for my stupidity

after wearing them i finally looked at the carcass of the visceroid only to see it disappear leaving a hard plastic dollar bill where it's body is supposed to be

picking it up i looked at the bill only to see it fade from my hands instantly

{10 credits gained}

'open shop'

...

'nothing, i can buy nothing with these prices except a fuckin simple weapon... can't even buy a single gun fuckk'

'buy chain sickle'

{recieved the item- chain sickle for 10 credits}

{item is deposited into inventory}

with a resigned sigh i took out the simple chain sickle in order to not be un-armed

maybe i should go for a faster build and use the chain sickle to disarm them, that way i'd be able to gain some new weapons once i end them"

'what use is a chain sickle in a world where almost everyone and their dog has guns... speaking of, open companion box

a huge paw suddenly sprung up from the ground a few feet away from me 'fuck fuck fuuuck'

i could only panic as it dug its way out of what looked like a pit of pure nothingness

"the fuck did i summon?" i gasped in panic as a black wolf dug its way up. it looked at me with a single glare of its one normal and one robotic red eye and charged at me

i didn't even get a second to prepare myself as it leapt upon me... and started licking my face like there was no tomorrow

"stop, stop" i managed to giggle out pushing at the almost 10 foot long wolf. it luckily understood and backed away and stood a few feet away wagging it's tail

'lets see what you are'

'wow' i whistled pricking up her ears as she looked excitedly towards me, "I'm gonna name you now girl, just gimme a second to think it up" i sat down cross legged and started thinking about names that i could call her, my new companion following suit and laying down next to me

...

"lune? no that's too corny... fenrir? na, that's worse..." its been a good few... half an hour ish and i still couldn't think up a good name for her, scratching my head i tried to think up names from my old world, any dog or wolf name that didn't come off as something cliche.

"mavka? or maybe zorya?" 'they don't sound that bad...maybe i should let her decide which of them I'll call her by

i looked around only to notice a huge mound of fur and armor wrapped around me a large furry head laying on my lap breathing peacefully asleep. i couldn't help myself as i slowly stroke her fur glistening in the ever fading daylight. forming a an array of light within the numerous hairs like as if it's it's own galaxy.at that moment all i could think about was "Astria"

'huh, guess thats gonna be her name' with the fading light bringing more danger into the valley as i lacked vision in the night, i had to find a place of shelter, only to realize I'm snuggled in a mobile shelter that would wake me up if ther was any danger... i make myself comfortable within the very soft furs of Astria and went to sleep
