81 A sgoods idea 1 (2/2)

Everywhere else I looked I just saw the calm lake as far as I could see. Since waiting here was out of the question, I proceeded with a lot of caution. Ending up as fish fodder was something I wanted ti to pass up on if possible.

Entering the water, I avoided actions that caused unnecessary ripples at the surface and held my head underwater in hopes of spotting these monsters. As a precaution, I had dipped my nails in my poison.

Sadly, this precaution while good in theory was also not such a great idea in the end. I noticed too late, that some small creatures I had fended off with my nails attracted even bigger fish. The further I came the higher the monsters were on the food chain. As even the sharks arrived devouring the fresh corpses of 2 swordfishes, I was left baffled as a bad feeling overcame me.

Not even 1 minute later I learned that these sharks were not on top of the food chain as an even bigger shark ate those pitiful sharks whole.It had an eerie resemblance to the Great White SharkI saw in front of my TV.They were attracted by the commotion I had caused. And I could only sigh as the trouble had just begun.

My poison while very effective has a very big drawback k, the larger the body of the infected victim the longer it would take before the monster would succumb to it.

You do not have to be very wise, to understand the problem, that arises out of that fact. As these monsters saw me, they began to swim towards me with bloodlust filling their eyes. Escape was impossible, as I could no swim as fast as a shark.

Leaving me with no other choice than to fight and hope for the best. I did not have to cause a life-threatening wound but only needed to inject my nails laced with poison into their bloodstream. Looking at the gigantic bodies of those sharks, this feat was easier said than done.

A hard-fought battle ensued, which I only survived by a hairs breath as the poison finally finished off these ferocious sharks. In the end, even they were no match for my unrivalled poison.

” I am sorry to interrupt your fantastic narration, but would you please refrain embellishing your story. As much as I admire your imagination, I do not want to listen to this fabrication?” said the Observer without any hint of anger in its cold metallic voice.

” What gave me away?” came the reply without a single shred of regret.

” You are currently sitting on a rather big island in the middle of this lake surrounded by calves. These calves should normally be next to the lake or the forest. Furthermore, you are covered in wounds that stem from many other creatures but not maritime ones. Might I add the horde of monsters furiously trying to cross the water to reach you as an indication, that you did something more than just swimming across a lake once?”

” I get it my elaborate scheme did not work on something as intelligent as you”

” Or the gigantic horn fully covered in blood you are currently holding in your hands. Or the flesh you are chewing on from time to time. Munching on an eyeball is a bit suspicious if you seriously try to convince me. Besides, I am aware it had never been your aim to led me astray in the first place.Your goal is far simpler, you just wanted to know how much I knew about your actions as to know what you can or what you can't do.” continued the Observer, ignoring my previous statement in its usual voice.

” Someone as simpleminded as me, would not dare to scheme against you. I only take on bets I am sure of winning.” The tone of this sentence was calm and collected but the implication should not have been missed by the Observer.

...........

The story differs after I killed that shitty eagle. Instead of running straight towards the lake I was caught by a wolf and fought tooth and nail with it. That son of a bitch truly refused to die, I had to decapitate to finish it off. The 2 claw marks at my abdomen were its final parting gift.Of course, that son of a bitch was not alone and brought some friends with it.

These 3 wolves were a lot more troublesome, than their friend as they did not have the courtesy to run at me and put their lives on the line. But that made the look on their eyes, that much more worthwhile as I had ripped their throats out.

The smell of blood permeating the air attracted more and more predators. Wolves, bears, foxes, a multitude of monsters arrived. Just like oil and water, this crowd did not mix very well and the fighting started once again. This scene was intoxicating as the dance of death was showing its beautiful countenance.

All the wounds on my body were meaningless, and thoughts deemed unnecessary. There was no need for fancy movements or strategies. No magic or supernatural power was needed. Just raw and pure violence in its simplest form.

My animalistic side was enjoying this carnage to its heart's content. Strangely I did not lose myself in this bloody dream. Clear-minded, I was still capable of actively witnessing the slaughter. This sensation was truly marvellous as all my previous worries were seeming put aside.

My consciousness recorded every blow and every wound, savouring this strange feeling. The taste of iron as blood dripped down my throat. The sweet taste of endorphins, that filled me after inflicting pain on others.

This state of mind was truly full of wonders, but I knew that sustaining it would be my demise in the long run.

The way to return was quite easy, all I had to do was lose my consciousness. Since that was out of the question since I still was surrounded by a horde of monsters. I decided on the next best option and was to talk to the perpetrator of this wonderful sensation.

After negotiating with my little tenant and spilling the beans about the inner workings of democracy I was finally allowed to return to my previous state.

That was what you were after right? You would not care about how the monsters appeared on this island as you know about all the details that happen to the creatures or players of this world, only my state of mind cannot be answered. That is why you agreed so easily to my request.

But since the story would not be complete without a fitting ending describing how exactly I ended uphere I will still give you a quick conclusion

. After waking up with my body barely functioning after this eccentric bloodbath, I decided to grab 3 corpses and ran for my life as long as those monsters were still fighting.

I arrived at the lake and decided to burn the dry forest to prevent the monsters from following me. To get rid of the thick smell of blood I had to take a bath as soon as possible. I threw the corpses into the lake and was just about to jump into it before I noticed the corpses disappearing in a matter of seconds.

I only managed to save a single one, but sadly even this corpse had to be sacrificed for the greater good. I laced it with poison to get rid of the monsters aiming for any living thing that dared to set a foot into the lake.

I managed to clean myself at the cost of my supply. Nevertheless, some monsters still arrived at this place and ran at me to duke it out. I was able to kill them, but more and more creatures came and left more and more wounds on my already gravely injured body.

Not wanting to repeat this cycle till the end of time, I had to take some risks and threw all of these corpses into the lake after lacing them with poison. My next goal was to just swim through the lake into the distance to avoid this catastrophe looming over my head.

The calves you see served me well, as I could take a seat at their backs and could pass the lake without risking my wellbeing. But the poison was a lot more effective as I imagined and I could arrive at this place without any problem and these calves are still going strong.

Now I can wait and recover my injuries while the endless slaughter resumes. Though I still have no clue how I should leave this island...
