I floated in a vast void of black. I couldn't see anything no matter where I looked, even with enhanced senses, even staring into infrared or ultraviolet. The universe was black.

I tried moving. I tried contacting Maturin. I tried to do a lot of things. Nothing worked. So I waited.

And waited.

And waited.

I couldn't access my inventory, or my inner world. I couldn't trigger any skills. I just had time.

And nothing happened.

I checked over my perks, and all of them were greyed out except the option to kill myself forever.

I waited.

My clock was broken, so I don't know if it was months, years, centuries later, I saw it. A train larger than a planet, a star, shooting through the sky. It had no track, but it moved, and twisted around itself in impossible ways, making a tower as tall as a galaxy.

It kept falling off its imaginary tracks. Like it was breaking. It twisted and struggled, black metal and flaming wheels shaking around the black nothingness.

Quest automatically accepted. Stabilise the timeline.

I woke up, staring at a beautiful countryside. I was in a wooden cabin, looking at a book case, an open door, a rope next to it. I could smell several herbs and I could feel a lust for flesh.

Don't escape. You are a werewolf, a monster of night and moon who desires flesh. Due to your own considerable abilities your bloodline has been upgraded, and you can now infect others. Prevent your escape, or cause this world to end.

I had a whole list of temporary werewolf perks that granted me enhanced strength, healing, durability, and generally made me pretty able to murder people.

Off to work I guess. I couldn't remember though. Were you meant to use the root or not?

I went outside, and looked around. I could see a village in the distance. I felt a strong urge to run there, to feed and eat. The sky was dark, cloudy and unpleasant, and I could feel the moon would soon come out.

I needed to get my own mind in order first.

I triggered a bunch of wisdom and intelligence perks, and sat outside to meditate. In my inner world, I inspected the damage.

The Brethern Moon was dead. Thanks to my class perk, I still had it. It was now a corpse floating in the sky, ready to serve me. My class had levelled up as well. For just 2000 perk points, almost all my remaining stock, I could access it.

Flame of hestia. Designate a single flame in your home. This flame will no longer degrade or run out so long as you are close to your home, is under your control, and will grant you a scaling bonus to crafting efforts.

I wasn't sure I needed that, but I bought it anyway since it would make my stat bonuses scale more, and make my trapping myself easier.

I then went through my inner world and cleared out the trash. I sliced apart the flood, the necromorphs, the zombies. The pyramid had long since broken, with no connection to the outside. I was free.

I asked Maturin what the hell was up.

"Autumn broke the world. I am working on fixing things. A lot of worlds are starting to break. Bring them back on track.."

And the connection cut.

Well, that was my mission.

I went out and looked around. The village looked pretty medieval. I doubt they were armed, so if I came after them they would die. There were a few mushrooms around, some logs, and a trunk with an axe in it. I took the axe, and with a heave of my inhuman strength, ripped out the trunk as well. I was a royal werewolf now, and so I couldn't trust on staying safe here if I followed the canon path. I fiddled around with the roof, and pulled out a steel chain.

It felt cool in my hands. If I remembered correctly, the rope, the chain, a locked window, and a locked door was enough to secure myself. I wandered around the back of the hut and found a few mushrooms to pick and took those as well and thought I would find nothing else of note, till I found a grave.

The dirt was a bit disturbed. I shoved my hand in the shallow grave reached all around and found-

A wet tongue licked my face. Cure leapt out of the grave, my fluffy and adorable dog. I hugged them, smelling the dirt of the grave on them. "I love you too buddy. But you gotta go. I'm about to turn into a werewolf."

They shook their heard and barked at me. "You want to help? Well fine. This will go faster." With their help I dragged all of the wood inside. I searched around the house and grabbed a flask off the desk next to the papers, and looked over the gun over the mantle. My inventory was looking pretty fine, but I had space after losing the truck, so I stole it. I grabbed some herbs and meat from my basement and the broom from the corner.

I then turned to my bed and the open window and looked out at nature. Pretty. Cure hopped up on my bed, and shook grave dirt all over it.

"Thanks for seasoning it." I gave him a thumbs up. He whined happily.

I finished looting. I had a hammer and nails, I had a table, I had a wardrobe I had barrels, I had poisoned meat, I had barrels, I had a bed, I had a chest, I had chains, I had an axe, I had a tinderbox, I had a village of people to eat. As such, I solved the problem in the most logical manner possible.

I carefully got all that wood, used the rope and the broom to rig it up to fall down on the basement, and climbed down into the basement with the barrel. The basement was basically just a small cube of space below the house, but with some force I got it in. Then, I hopped down, hid in the barrel, and yanked the rope to slam everything down, locking me in the basement. I had an axe, so I could work my way out if I needed to, but a dumb wolf would just be stuck with around a ton of weight over their head, and almost no space, while stuck in a barrel, with the poisoned meat next to me.

I then waited. I was ready for the royal wolf to overpower me like so many others, and see if my plan was good enough to trap a werewolf. I waited for the full moon to appear.

Gamer's Body and Gamer's Mind have overridden and destroyed royal werewolf curse. Gain 500 perk points.

Oh. I guess spending 3000 perk points had some perks.

Hyperion. It is hard to defeat one enemy. Two or three though? Much easier.

Dice-King. Typewriter basically grants +10 to luck for a murder. It's not a god. It just helps with critical hits and fails in quick fights.

On holiday, so I'll be around less for a week or two.

Next chapter, another horrorverse.
