getting up from the very soft and fluffy Astria, i stretched my body up and looked at my now recovered body
my muscles somewhat returned on my skeleton like body and my body didn't feel as lethargic. i quickly did a few warm up stretches and started to exercise
'everyone knows that exercise is the first and most op way to gain stats afterall'
{Hidden Objective Completed}
{You have found out a way to increase your stats without using stat points}
{rewards - daily mission, random title upgrade, 3000 credits, true artificial eye prosthetic, boss battle ticket}
{title - x003 upgraded to SS005}
{rewards deposited into inventory}
'hidden objectives? maybe i can find out more and get better rewards by using this method...wait, an artificial eye? is this because of my completely tiberium eye on my right? will this fix my vision?'
i quickly opened the inventory and equipped the artificial eye without reading the description, my vision finally became whole again
i brought my hand towards my right eye to see it as clear as day, and in very high definition, more clearly than my normal eye... i felt the eye only to feel some kind of goggle like structure surrounding it. 'maybe this is the artifical eye' i looked around woth my normal eye closed in the dim light of dawn only to see that i could see perfectly fine, like it was all in the height of noon
'lets look at the definition of my new title now'
{Title - SS005}
{the result of NOD using the Tacitus to make a super soldier using the Tiberium Cruentus variant , this is the only positive result as the subject has perfectly merged with the tiberium becoming a walking tiberium core despite the instability of the tiberium Cruentus and its inability to spread
Gain immunity to tiberium radiation and mutation
Able to power machinery with tiberium
Ability to mould tiberium according to the users wish
Ability to produce red tiberium by absorbing minerals and metals}
"JACKPOTTTT!!!" i couldn't help but yell out Astria up as she looked at me puzzled as to why i was jumping around, and then she joined me in my celebration
just as i finished celebrating my stomach growled reminding me that i haven't eaten since my reincarnation
'maybe the shop might have something for the both of us' i said opening up the menu and going to shop to look at the various catalogs
finally finding the category [rations] i opened it up
{Iron ration
A-ration
B-ration
C-ration
D-ration
K-ration
Jungle ration
Mountain ration
5-in-1 ration
10-in-1 food parcel
...
raw rabbit meat}
getting fed up with so many options i decided to take a jungle ration and few mineral water bottles for c15 and serveral raw rabbit meat for Astria rounding the final credits used to a c50
{purchased items deposited into inventory}
taking out the small mound of raw rabbit meat for the local salivating canine, i stepped away and told her to eat only to have her jump and start swallowing lumps of meat whole, which was kinda obvious since she be over 10 foot long
sighing to myself in resignation at the messy habit of astria, i took out my rations and started preparing my own meal
...
"burp" i burped much to the surprise of the now resting astria, the small mound of rabbit meat gone. as i sat on the ground leaning on her armor plates protecting her body from all sides and started casually arranging stuff in my inventory for ease of mind and to pass the time
...
"think i can ride you around?" i questioned astria as we walked around trying to find civilization or a mob, hunting those mobs we do find with my now upgraded sickle and chain, the chain now extending from the protruding crystals on my forearm as the chain has linked with the numerous red tiberium links forming an even longer chain than before, one i could freely use and store
the blade now sporting red edges as i covered the damages done to it through the few battles using my tiberium
"woof" astria let out a bark as to say yes and stopped, wagging her tail and awaiting me to go climb on top of her "thanks girl, we can get to safer zones faster this way" i leapt on top of her back and she started walking slowly, helping me regain my sense of balance as i told her where and how to move
the it slowly became a trot and then she started running, the many tiberium on the surface and the veins of it slowly becoming a blur as she sped up faster an faster towards somewhere that she chose to take us to.
as we were traveling i saw a different sight to the many visceroids, this one larger and felt more threatening, two vertical golden barsfloating just above its head, luckily we were traveling far from its detection range yet close enough for me to use observe on it
{visceroid lvl 25}
{veteran}
{hp 500/500}
{essentially a large, unstable body mass, constantly changing their shape and never reaching a stable state. Parts of the original victim may be recognized within the Visceroid}
'whats this veteran?' i thought as i clicked on it's description
{A promoted unit gains significant boosts to stats and a 20% higher rate of fire for each level of promotion. Furthermore, some elite units gain additional features, this is the first of two levels of veterancy available to this type of unit}
...
'i didn't know how close i had been to a game over' i let out a sigh in relief and addressed my canine mount "let's keep as far away from them as possible for now astria"
she let out a small woof as she kept running the same direction she had been
author note:
