Please remember that my first language is not English. And I don't own Warhammer 40k.
I'm lying on the ground, a headache makes it hard to think, but after half a minute, I realized it. I survived.

Solar? I thought to myself but before I could read the window that appeared, the room started to shake.
[Note. Ny Quest: Spite from the God]
Tzeentch in anger has cast a spell to destroy the planet, get to the ship before it blows up.
All tiredness disappeared and I jumped up and ran towards the hole where Hollie and Bartellophis is. Fuck! How will I, we, FUCK! Er, I remember what Tzeentch said about how to get out, but it is Tzeentch so… Ah, I have no choice.
"FUCK!" I screamed as I climbed into the hole.
"What is it now?" Bartellophis asked in English or whatever language we speak.
"The planet will blow up!".
"WHAT!". Bartellophis shouted in surprise at how the situation had changed during this short amont of time.
Instead of answering I took Bartellophis head and placed it on Hollie's stomach which made her scream out in pain but I just said sorry and picked her up and used Bull Headed on Endurance.
[Note. Endurance is now 15]
[Note. [Bull Headded Lv2] has become [Bull Headded Lv3]]
Neat, that's useful. I jumped into the hole with Hollie in my arms with Bartellophis in her arms.
Fortunately, I was not hurt by the fall and started running as fast as I could when I regained my balance.
#David, the fuck, what have you done to make the planet start exploding?#.
"Why do you think I'm responsible for that?" I asked, accusingly.
#How else could you know about it?#.
Oh fuck, he has a point. "I didn't start it!".
#But you know who did it, and it happened after you left, and you came right after it started and knew what was going to happen.#
Shit, I can't win an argument with a half-computer. "Can we have this talk later?"
#I doubt there will be a later…#
"Slow down, it hurts," Hollie said in a weak voice.
"We can't slow down," Bartellophis and I both answered at the same time.
I could finally see the outcome Tzeentch mentioned before, I could only hope he wasn't lying.
The passage looked the same as everything so far, I was wondering when we were going to cross the avalanche when I heard something a little way ahead, Gunfire.
I came running around the corner and entered a room and saw Ron with the Ogryn fight against a couple of demons. Ron, noticing someone coming up behind him turned to shoot, but before he could, he realized it was us.
"By the God Emperor, you live! Why are you wearing those clothes?". Ron asked as he looks at the togas, or Hollie's toga and my hatecrime of a toga.
"Ron! Hollie is injured and can't walk, do you know where the exit is?"
"Yes but we were broken up from the rest of the group". Ron pointed to the demons and the door on the other side where I can see a few others from the group shooting.
"Ok, let's hurry before the planet blows up".
"Wait what!?"
I didn't answer and just put Hollie down and Bartellophis on the ground before I pulled out my gun out of my Inventory in a way so no one could see it and i started firing at the demons.

"I don't know what it was, it could be my new levels or one of my new Skills, or is it that I've faced their God, but they don't look as dangerous or tough as before. They fall one by one and with the help of everyone else there, they were all dead within two minutes, unfortunately two minutes is too many.
+30 xp
The last of the demon's fall and it was now that I recognized where I was, we are in the first room. It looked a little different, but that's because we're on the other side of the wall that divided us. Haven't they gone anywhere?
Shit, I don't have time to think about this. I ran to Hollie and picked her up. "Come on, we have to get out of here now." I started running towards the stairs.
"Wait, you haven't answered my questions," Ron yelled as he and his men ran after me.
It didn't take long before we were at the surface again, it goes much faster when there aren't a lot of people in the way. It had become night, but part of the sky had been lit up by blue and purple fire shooting out of all the mountains. It looks like the end of the world, and it is for this one.
#Fast, towards the Ironstrider# Bartellophis said in binary.
I quickly ran up to one with a tech priest riding it and Bartellophis explained to them in binary what has happened and what will happen. Because of how binary it is, it took less than three seconds and the tech priest tilted the Ironstrider so we could easily get up.
Ron and the others came up from the Dungeon and yelled "What do you mean the planet... Why is the sky on fire?!".
"We can take it later, we have to get off the planet now".
Ron and all the others started unpacking, but the smart ones like Ron just made sure they were on an Ironstrider. We only have four and there can't be that many on them. By the time the last Ironstrider was packed and started running away, most of them were left, even all of the Ogryn. Except for Ed who followed Ron's order and jumped on a floating wagonin which followed the Ironstrider that Ron is on. It looked pretty stupid, but you can't complain when the ground beneath you is being destroyed every second.
Going there took 12 hours, it would have killed us to get back if it wasn't for the Ironstrider, with them it would only take five to four hours, but they were the most stressful hours I've had in my entire life.
The swamp is on fire and the ground breaks down and falls into that colorful fire. Even the giant frogs fall to their deaths. I'm glad the Ironstrider has legs, because no wheels can get to the ship in time.
After five hours of almost dying, and Hollie screaming because of the bumpy road it gets when the planet you're standing on explodes, we're almost there. The only good landing place in the vicinity, and there had become a great ravine between us.
"Fuck," Ron yelled when he saw it. We started running to the side and looked down at our only way out of here. "Damn, looks like they're going to leave us soon".
Honestly, I'm surprised thay hasn't gone yet, it took us five hours to get here, if I was tham I would have already left.
The chasm that had been created made it so that the ground we're standing on is higher up, but it's so far between us that we can't just jump over.
I looked around for some way to survive, I looked for it more than I ever had before. That's when I saw it, a huge tree, one that if it fell it could cover the distance from the ravine.
"Hey, remember what I did with the bridge? I will do the same with that tree".
Bartellophis who understood what I was talking about explained the plan to the tech priest and we started running towards the tree.
The tree is big in the way that it was tall, but not that wide. I picked up my power sword from my temporary sword sheath and swung up for an attack.
First Form: Mop Sweeping Strike.
The end of the sword became like a mop and hacked as hard as I could, but it wasn't enough. I almost fell off when the sword caught the tree, something I didn't know could happen to the power sword.
The power sword was more than half way into the tree and it started to burn where it was.
"Shit, I need to do it again, turn around".
Before I could get back, someone was trying to bring the tree down, someone too stupid to understand why, Ed. Ed had jumped off the tree at full speed and crashed into it, the tree started to lean the other way but it wasn't enough.
I was impressed that he understood my plan, but I couldn't be for long as I started to approach the tree again. I jumped off and thanks to the tree leaning the other way I was able to get it out quickly and prepare my attack, but that's when I remembered something. System, put all my points in Strength.
[Note. Strength is now 12]
[Note. You have 0 points left]
It should be enough. I took a deep breath and swung the sword again in a way that I only know when I do it.
First Form: Mop Sweeping Strike.
Muscle memory showed the way when again the tip of the power sword became like a mop and with surprising strength I cut the tree again. Me along with Ed pushed againstthe tree with everything we had so that the tree fell down in the right direction.
The tree falls with surprising weight down the other side and burrows a bit into the ground. Ed and I only had a few seconds to catch our breath before the others came back, Ed and I jumped on the Ed's floating wagon and we went over the fallen tree.
I expected the fire to burn up the tree, or the ground to collapse from under us, but none of that happened. We just went across and came to the same part of land that the ship is on.
"Wait wait! We are here, don't go!". Ron yelled at the ship and the door to them opened and we were able to enter, safe from the exploding planets.
A man from the ship ran towards Ron, meeting him halfway after jumping off the Ironstrider. "Ah good, you were waiting for us, for a second I thought that you would leave-".
"The keys the keys! Give me the keys". Ron, after being yelled at by that man, quickly took a key out of a pocket and threw it to the man, and he ran off.
"What was that about?" I asked as I walked up to him.
"Oh, yes that, I had the key to the ship so it couldn't leave without me and if I died it would be up to my sister to send help".
Well, that explained why it hadn't gone yet with a planet under them that goes up in smoke, if not even that.
I was broken out of my thoughts by the ship shaking and everyone starting to move.
"Shit, it's going off already, we better get stuck in the seat quickly." Ron pulled me to a pairseats with seat belts and pinned us down.
The journey down was terrible, but I don't want to sit loose on the way up.
I was right, it wasn't much fun, everything was shaking and I could hear Hollie screaming from somewhere, it took a couple of minutes but we docked to the main ship and we were finally able to get off.
I got off wanting nothing more than a shower and some real clothes. I watched as some men carried Hollie away presumably so a doctor could help her, Bartellophis gat carried off bay the tech priest we went with earlier, he was complaining about only being a head, and he needs a new body within six minutes, or so he will die, but the tech priest just made fun of him instead.
I looked through a window and saw the planet, all the water is gone, and the last of the greens are disappearing while part of the planet is collapsing in on itself. It's one thing to see a planet explode in a movie or game, but it's quite another thing to have actually been on the planet and breathe its air and see wildlife with your own eyes.

Oh, I had forgotten about that. Wait, why is it asking me now? Ron left the Dungeon a while ago, did the whole planet become a Dungeon? It doesn't matter, YES.

[Note. You have acquired Skill [Holy Healer Lv1]]

[Note. You have 1 Skill-point]
Oh hey, I have like four levels I should look at, and some Skill to go through, wait, Holy Healer… AND NOW YOU'RE GIVING ME A HEAL SKILL!
"David, the Captain wants to talk to you... After a shower".
I turned around and saw one of the guards I saw outside the boss lady room… oh fuck, am I in trouble? Heh of course I am, it could never be anything else.
Yea, that was fun. Ok, there will probably only be one more chapter on this story before I take a break and work on something else. This is the plan:
1 Survive in 40K Oh NO chapter 20
2 make chapter one of some ideas I've had for a while, even one that came from a dream.
3 Quirk X Hunter season 1
I will try to release them every week like I used to but it could go wrong somewhere..
Oh yes. peanutbutter6996 said I should write longer chapter, this is my answer so you all know.
I have tried, so it takes me a week to write 2500 words, and when I started it was only 1000. I will get better, but it will take me a while to get used to 2500 words like I did 1000 words so I can write more, but for now it will be around 2500… unless I get inspired.
