100 100 ways to die (1/2)

As the name survival suggests it is very likely that we will be tasked with a test of survival. Whether the time is limited or not only changes the perimeter which decides how the situation is going to develop. The core theme remains the same, all that has to be done is to stay alive.

Though Tom was having difficulties understanding this simplistic task. Why would he look that perturbed by something so simple? He is a player, his death does mean a thing in this space if he fails he will just respawn.

I do not doubt, that this change in his behaviour is caused by circumstances that seem unlucky to him. Otherwise, he would have never made it into the Church, an elite like him should not be afraid of anything thrown at him.

That leaves several possibilities but the most likely cause it that, the survival mission does not involve him at all and he has to rely on me. That would explain his downcast expression and the general change in his bearing. Also, his questions would make a lot more sense if he had known about the upcoming task.

This hypothesis would not change the current objective but would mean that the aftermath will be a lot harder to deal with than initially expected. Though that can wait until we have survived the upcoming ordeal.

Although my decision to risk so much in the fight against the Observer would surely come back to bite me in the ass, my body was still in a good enough shape to fight against some monsters especially if I aim at their weak points. At least Ishould still possess that much strength.

” Any important information you could tell me about this so-called survival?” I yelled directly at him to get some information out of him. He surely would not talk if I was just waiting for the inevitable to happen.

” 100 ways.You need 100 ways.” he sounded desperate and I was none the wiser what he was talking about.

100 ways to seduce a woman? 100 ways to consume oatmeal? What is he talking about?

” You need to find 100 different ways to kill, otherwise we will never be able to escape from here.” That's it? Why does have such a look of concern on his face for just a simple task like this? There must be a hidden condition or something similar making it nearly impossible to fulfil this quest.

Are the monsters unbelievably strong or are they monsters invisible or is there a time limit? Very fitting for something made up from the Observer he would not make something that could be defeated so easily. I could not help myself but anticipate what kind of challenge I would have to face today.

There has to be some sort of intent hidden behind a task like that, finding 100 different ways to kill. Oh, I get it, it's referring to the ”torture” I had suffered back when I started. Back then they only managed to kill me in 36 different ways.

So bring it on, what kind of atrocity would I face? I got rid of the clothes on my upper body as it surely would get destroyed in the upcoming battle.

” Lets fucking go”

Heightening my senses I was preparing myself for the worst and I was slowly riling myself up to feel the thrill of the battle once more. My blood was nearly seething and my heartbeat could be heard from the outside.

I could hardly wait, but I had to suppress my urges. Tension is good but it would be foolish to dive headfirst into battle. I had to wait to gauge what options I can take and what not to do.

The earth began to shake and a heavy wind began to blow. The sky suddenly darkened accompanied by thunder and tosing rain. This heavy atmosphere was exactly what I had in mind. Bloodshed and carnage should not happen surrounded by sunshine and happiness. These dirty and desolate surroundings needed some optical changes so they can have the optimal appearance,

They came out of the shadows in the distant, I heard the distant cries of monsters, they howling was haunting and shook one's mind to the core. Their build was impressive and just their shadows were enough to cast doubt onto any heart.

These Monsters were standing there menacingly and started to growl into my direction. That's it the silence before the storm. Moments like this make life worthwhile.

With the next thunder lightening up the scene I started to run towards the enemy, It was finally time, the monsters started to run towards me as well. The clash was imminent and it would not take too long before the fun begins.

I threw my right fist with all of my force to welcome the first monster that came close to me. Much to my dislike, the impact I felt was rather soft. The monster flew away after meeting my fist and lost its life directly on the spot.

[001 Cause of Death: Trauma to the brain]

I had not noticed it due to my excitement but those monsters were still the same young wolves I had previously used as a test subject for Tom. You have got to be kidding me, all of that preparation all of my emotions, all of that for fucking young wolves.

The wave of young wolves had surrounded me but the thrill of the battle was gone. A boring and tedious task remained. The next wolves that ran at me were ignored and I just grabbed one of them while backing off.

Without any difficulty, I crushed its windpipe and dropped its body on the spot letting it succumb to its deadly injury.

The next target found my nail inserted into its heart and it was also left behind while the near-endless amount of small wolves followed me.

Afterwards, I pummeled a wolf, until his breath was shallow and then all I had to do was wait once more. What an eventful day, this day will be remembered forever. This must be some sort of sick and twisted punishment, why else would he threw those small fries at me. Find 100 unique ways to kill this small useless animal and you are free to go.

I will have to get to such great lengths for such a meagre pay off.My official second victim was a wolf who had been decapitated after slitting his throat.

[002 Cause of Death: Decapitation]

This gruesome spectacle did not cause any emotions in me other than a bitter disappointment. I could not find any enjoyment in killing the weak. I had a premonition that these seemingly easy rules were a lot more restrictive than previously imagined.

If it only accepts the cause of death if it leads to imminent death, then multiple ways of killing my opponent are effectively the same.For example, If I were to choke a wolf to death, would it not be the same as what I did after crushing its throat? Both of them cause the target to suffocate, both of them restrict the blood flow to the brain.

[003 Cause of Death: Suffocation caused by restricted blood flow to the brain]

[004 Cause of Death: Inner haemorrhage leading to multiple organ failure ]

[005 Cause of Death: Perforated heart causing a ruptured artery]

The next wolf founds its neck turned around nearly 360 degrees, it was dead instantaneously. Before the confirmation could appear in front of my eyes I had already thrown 2 hairs laced in poison onto 2 different wolves.

[006 Cause of Death: Snapped Neck]

Using my sharp teeth I managed to get number 7 and 8.

[007 Cause of Death: Shock and loss of blood after the body was torn apart]

[008 Cause of Death: Depletion of Lifeforce]

I did not know, but by keeping my teeth inside of its flesh I could absorb all of the life forces of my enemy.I have not a single clue what lifeforce might refer to, but the corpse looked all shrivelled up and dry after the procedure was done. The result was strikingly similar to the coin, I had picked up on this strange sacrificial site.

[009 Cause of Death: Septic shock caused by poison]

[010 Cause of Death: Muscle spasms leading to cardiac arrest]

After the poison had done its work, I finally completed the first 10 kills. And I had no idea how to continue forward until I have completed my task. Despite my cluelessness, I continued to try various things.

[011 Cause of Death: Burned alive] - achieved by holding a wolf over my head until it was roasted.

[012 Cause of Death: Removal of heart] not very glamorous but quite effective.

[013 Cause of Death: Dissolvement in an acid] Cutting the wolf apart and then swallowing it without chewing. Took multiple times before it was achieved.

[014 Cause of Death: Gravity] Launched in the air several times, not caught even once.

[015 Cause of Death: Multiple burn wounds and abrasions] Dragging the corpse over the ground while I was running around.

Every one of these achievements did not happen without any resistance many small wolves were giving their all to ruin my mood even more. I did my best and killed them as they closed in on me though none of my attacks was awarded another notification.

[016 Cause of Death: Bitten to death by another wolf] Incapitating one wolf and using the other wolf to bite him all over its body.

[017 Cause of Death: Killed by direct impact from a wolf] Turning the corpse of a wolf into a projectile

[018 Cause of Death; Ruptured Rectum] I wish I could disinfect my hands.

[019 Cause of Death: Crushed] Letting my body fall on one of them was enough to end its life. My body still was heavy, despite my outer appearance indicating otherwise.

[020 Cause of Death: Buried alive] Covered enough distance so I could dig a small hole and buried it inside of it.

Seems like someone took pity on me and decided to count unique ways to take the life of these wolves as well. Otherwise, I might have needed to stand here till the end of times. But I still had to find another 80 ways to kill these creatures. Dying of natural causes or old age is sadly not an option.

[021 Cause of Death: Eyes pushed in until they burst] I had to say my thanks to a certain Mountain.

[022 Cause of Death: Drowned in blood] A lot of work to get enough blood out of those corpses to kill a single wolf.

[023 Cause of Death: Hit by lightning strike] A repetition of throwing it upwards into the sky and catching it until there was no need to anymore.

[024 Cause of Death; Trampled to death] If one stomp was not enough, do it again.

[025Cause of Death Impalement] Using my nails I simply had to impale them and wait for their demise.

While I was at it, I wondered why I was so adamant on pushing myself through this as fast as possible. I could use this situation to absorb some necessary nutrients and test somethings I always wanted to know. He had no chance of joining the competition anyway so I can do whatever I want.

[026 Cause of Death: Clubbed a wolf to death with another wolf]. They make a bad weapon on their own, even by holding its legs their body was falling apart after just 4 hits. Though their fur was remarkable as only its bones suffered after the impact.

[027 Cause of Death: Flaying] Their fur felt rather soft but had a certain elasticity that would make a good fabric to make clothes. Testing its resistance to fire left me disappointed because it was set ablaze just after the slightest contact with my hair.

[028 Cause of Death: Dismemberment] The body was showing better properties after the limbs had been removed. While it could not be used to strike an enemy it was a good projectile to launch at an enemy.

[029 Cause of Death: Used as a shield] Although it could function as a weapon its ability to defend was abysmal even the weak attacks from those wolves left considerable damage on its body.

[030 Cause of Death: Sudden Violent Removal of their fangs] Their teeth were quite sharp and could be used for many things, including being added to weapons.

After my experimentation I had started I did not pay much attention to my progress but my discoveries opened a lot of possibilities for the upcoming competition. Who said, that we have to participate directly to make a name for himself?

For the time being, I have to use this abundance of monsters to gather some resources. Such a situation might never come again I am sure he will understand my reasoning.

[031 Cause of Death: Killed by their fangs] Caused by an accident, I achieved another unique kill. Being annoyed at the tenacity of these guys surely helps at times. Especially if I throw those teeth around to vent my frustration.

[032 Cause of Death: Removal of blood] The coin I had demanded to get back from the Observer was still picky about its blood as it only absorbed one wolf before refusing to absorb anything more I am sure it would not complain about my blood though and suck me dry.

[033 Cause of Death: Pure Frustration] Come on, now it is just mocking me I throw away one coin, taking the life of a monster and it counts that stuff as a unique kill that's just unfair. If that's all that takes I might as well just do something random. Here look at me a backflip. Of course, nothing happened. If you want to make a fool out of me just come on.

[034 Cause of Death: Skewered by arm hair] So even their suicide is worth such a notification? All it did was jump onto my arm getting impaled by my arm hair. It still feels like this unique kills are being casually awarded for the weirdest stuff. I fell back and sat down, I had erected a small mountain of corpses to defend myself from my attackers.

[035 Cause of Death: Being sat on] For fuck's sake, why do I get kills for something stupid as this. If you are trying to utterly ridicule me you are on a good course. I devoured the rest of the corpses that I did not have any use for. It was a nice change of pace to just sit down for a while. Consuming all the corpses was secondary though the taste was truly bad.

Let's see how would a tongue taste if I cook it well? After removing a tongue from a wolf I held it in my burning hair

[036 Cause of Death: Removal of the tongue]Why is nearly every target of my actions still alive and brings me another unique kill for something so arbitrary? The taste was quite good though not going to lie, but I would have to wait way too long if I wanted to cook everything.

I let my upper body fall backwards and looked at the dark sky. This lovely atmosphere is truly wasted on an occasion like this. Sometimes I truly wish to return to the Earth just to marvel at all the small little things.

[037 Cause of Death: Arson] Don't tell me. Looking behind me I saw how my hair had started a big fire and my pile of monster had been set ablaze starting a chain reaction and the fire spread even more. I can not even have one ounce of peace in this tutorial world.

[038 Cause of Death: Stampede caused by their instinct]

[039 Cause of Death: Depravation of air]

[040 Cause of Death: Inhalation of smoke] A stampede caused by their instinct to avoid fire caused their demise and as the air is getting used to sustain the flames more and more wolves breathe in smoke or carbon dioxide causing their death.

It felt like I had achieved more by not doing anything then by actually trying. Or rather that I got more results after someone had taken pity on me. I wondered what chaos and shenanigans would still arise to fulfil my quest. Would a random fart kill a wolf? Or should I just breathe at one to erase his existence?

That would be too ridiculous even for the stuff that has happened now. My actions while unlikely still are unique ways to end the life of a wolf. Although it had never been my intention to end it in such a manner.

[041 Cause of Death: Dehydration] Wait how? Forget it I do not even want to know how anymore. I might as well embrace the chaos and throw my hair around laced in all sorts of different poisons. I have no clue what might happen, as I have only discussed some of their effects.

It did not even take a minute before the results became apparent before my very own eyes.

[042 Cause of Death: Cannibalismn]

[043 Cause of Death: Explosion of the heart]

[044 Cause of Death: Visually and auditory hallucinations leading to self-harm,]

[045 Cause of Death: Ceasing of brain functions]

[046 Cause of Death: Induced heart failure by continuous copulation.]

[047 Cause of Death: Body could not endure its explosive growth.]

[048 Cause of Death: Clot of blood clumping the veins of the heart]

[049 Cause of Death: Complications of a fever]

[050 Cause of Death: Lungs filled with blood]

After reaching 50 kills I could only nod my head at all of the diverse effects from the poisons inside of my body.Number 46 should have been the only to die with a smile on its face though. Its fiery passion would last a lifetime. Welp, I joust found out number 51.

[051 Cause of Death: Burned from the Inside] Inserted my burning hair and waited for the result to happen

My behaviour must look quite odd, looking at it from the perspective of a player. He certainly would have thought of different ways to kill these wolves.

[052 Cause of Death: Lung embolism] Although it might be very similar to the clot of blood that clumped the veins of the heart I will not complain. Its struggle lasted a lot longer than the other deaths induced my poison.

48 to go but I felt a bit stuck at the moment. I have used most of my available tools and my mind seems a bit blank if I think about new ways to kill those wolves. If possible I did not want to divulge the existence of the queen ant to get more kills

There was one thing I could do, but do I want to be that inhuman.

[053 Cause of Death: Castration]It was hard for me but not for it anymore. While I was at it I decided to use all the unethical ways to end their lives.

[054 Cause of Death: Roasting ] Cooking a wolf over a fire of its dead brethren was wrong on so many levels. But its taste was phenomenal.

[055 Cause of Death: Boiling] Making a stew by digging a hole and waiting till it was filled with rainwater and blood I had pressed out of a few wolves. Before heating it with my flames and putting another wolf inside of it. The great wall of fire was a good obstacle for any wolf trying to get on my nerves.

[056 Cause of Death: Removal of the brain] I am just glad that those wolves get their memories erased. I can not fathom how that must have felt.

[057 Cause of Death: Sawed in half] We have officially included the human torture methodology. Using my nail as a saw was suboptimal but was achieved with numerous attempts

[058 Cause of Death: Strangulation]Was easy to achieve by utilizing the fur of the deceased.

[059 Cause of Death: Rupture of the stomach mucosal lining] Force-feeding a wolf until its stomach was torn apart. I had never thought the day would come where I had to use such a method.

[060 Cause of Death: Diarrhoea] I did not want to induce such a thing, but my previous test subject which I had tried force-feeding on had suffered under these consequences.
