POV: A Not So Regular Hammer

Hey. How come so many things are happening so fast?

Why is there only white noise?

What am I tasting right now?

Why do I not know how to describe what I'm smelling?

Why can I not feel anything anymore?

Is the rank one mana sense that bad?

So bad that it makes my senses this sped up?

At least I don't have to deal with confinement. Yes, I noticed. I am confined. With this toddler. All alone. I wish I had a body.

What was that? Oh, nothing.

Wait! Something's happening! Slow down! Slow down GODDAMNIT! Who is that guy!? Where is Broly!?! Why is there a unicorn with two horns!?!? Why is the toddler eating shit!?!?!

The toddler's eating SHIT! Well... it is a toddler after all...

Not that I think they eat shit. No, it's just that... they eat shit. In a different sense.

Ok, I think something else is happening now. Let's take a look.

A~nd... everything is too fast for me to see. I guess I'l just wait it out.

----------------------------------------

 Oh! Things are finally starting to slow down!

Now, let's see here...

Congratulations! You Have Reached Maximmum Profieciency In A Skill!

For having reached maximum proficiency in a skill, it has now ranked up and improved!

The following skill(s) has/have ranked up:

Mana Sense

Your perception of time has now been corrected.

----------------------------------------

Integrating mana sense provided many difficulties for the processing system, as your previously occupied planet had a different sense of time, which is why only the first few seconds of your experience were regular time.

You will have to go through an extra rank up process, as this rank up was used a supplement.

We hope there are no more errors. 

Have a wonderful day.

At least that makes sense now...

Wait, does that mean humans lived thousands of years, in a sense, without realizing it? And turtles can barely move? Along with everything else on that planet?

Well, doesn't matter to me now. I'll just have to live with this theory for... thou~sands of years. Since I don't really have a lifespan now, being a hammer and all. I can just be repaired, too.

Will I die if I'm smelted down?

What if that toddler views me as nothing more than scrap metal, and eventually sells me?

...Can't I die way too easily?

In a sense, that would not even be my death, would it? As is said, you only actually die when you are forgotten.

What is death? I have experienced it, yet I still do not truly know.

Is death just a concept, to allow our puny minds some leeway, some form of reprieve from the fact that we will never really die, the same as myself...?

Never achieve our well-deserved rest...?

Or is it the undeniable truth, from which we will never escape...?

...

...

...

..

..

.

That was really deep.

Once again, I believe something is happening.

Only more questions keep piling up.

For example, why is the toddler fainti- Holy Shit! What is this fee-!

Those were my last thoughts as I faded into the empty abyss of unconsciousness.

----------------------------------------

I wake up feeling extremely puzzled. I can faint? How do my cognitive functions even shut down? I don't even have a brain.

Soon after regaining consciousness, I review my memories of Mana Sense. It is permanently activated after all.

I start to delve into my memory as deeply as I can, seeing some rather absurd scenes, and soon I gain a notification

Congratulations! You Have Performed A (Not So Excellent) Feat Of Excellence!

For performing a (Not So Excellent) Feat Of Excellence, you have recieved the skill Improved Memory!

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

With Improved Memory, you are guaranteed to vivdly remeber any type of first experience, even ones you will never have from your imagination!

Wow! Improved memory! That's actually really useful!

I've become completely numb to these poorly used sex jokes by now. Still, I'll probably remember each one of them at this rate.

I could probably solve puzzles in dungeons, remember how the currency works, remember the names of people not to piss off, remember important details during my journeys… hopefully I'll go an journeys.

Anyways, I went off on a tangent there. Like I always do.

Why does that happen so often?

What sort cruel, twisted thing would make me like this?

Well, I guess it's not that important, I am just a tool after all.

Those scenes were strange, though.

The first thing that happened after my loss of conscience, was the opening of the metal doors.

Some doors stayed closed though, including this one. I wonder why?

Why can I even see outside? Was there some mechanism blocking my sight?

I switched my attention back to my memories, and continued.

Movement stirred in all the open cells.

All sorts of creatures were released, from ogres, and horned rabbits, to griffins and things that looked like a flying brain, with multiple small intestines that have a mushroom shaped protrusion coming out of the end. That looks like a penis to me.

I think the last ones were mind flayers. People tend to eat them in fantasy books. Does that mean that they like to eat dick? Ba-dum tsh.

Back in real time, the mind flayers all stop once I think that, and turn towards my general direction.

Was it that bad?

Please don't hurt me for indirectly, and directly, calling you dick.

I didn't know you could read minds.

I'm sorry. I won't do that again. Probably.

All the mind flayers stop watching me, and continue their activities.

Thank god.

Wait, how can some of these large monsters fit inside this space? That makes no sense whatsoever.

Once again, back to the memories. The monsters started to enter other cells, and massacre the helplessly weak.

They continue to prey on them, collecting them, and eventually eating them.

Do take note that there are also plant monsters. 

Mind flayers just stuck one of their tentacles into something, and did what I presumed to be mind flaying.

Though I don't know why they always aimed for the anus.

Are they actually anus flayers?

I mentally shiver at the though of that, and pity the poor child that is with me.

He might have a very bad time.

Again, back to the memories.

This one is interesting. Very strange creatures that don't reflect any light. They seem to absorb it, and hide their very existence in a shroud of pure darkness.

These things even seemed to eat souls. I don't really know what a soul looks like, though.

 After a few minutes, most of the monsters were dead. Of course, because of the... uh... soul eaters.

God, I feel like a weeb saying that.

Well, the only monsters that are alive are those in confinement, or some anus flayers. They survived by connecting to what I think might be the anus of the soul eaters. After that, the soul eaters just stopped, and died.

How do I know they died?

I see using mana, of course. So, that light problem is obsolete for me.

Why didn't I describe them?

Because I can't. I simply don't know what to relate them to.

Well, after they died, the anus flayers continued their stuff.

They ended up moving towards the closed cells, and trying to enter.

Of course, they failed, since Rick is alive.

He is alive, isn't he?

Hopefully he's alive.

Ok, back to the mind flayers.

After horribly failing at entering the cells, they flailed around all their tentacles in what I assume is a tantrum. The tantrum lasted quite a while.

However, after they finished their tantrums, some of the cell doors simply fell over. Ours was not one of them.

Inside each of the closed cells was actually another bipedal intelligent fantasy being, with their own respective weapons hanging above them.

Well, the flayers still failed to flay, as they could not penetrate their potato sack clothes, or underwear.

Did I forget to mention that?

Rick is wearing one of those, too.

So, all the mind flayers escaped, and they made their escape down the long corridor with all the cells, and out of my vision.

Those flayers were quite dangerous. Who knows what could've happened if they were not clothed.

Other than being subjected to my perversion, of course.

Well, that is the end of the Mana Vision memories, so, i guess now we just wait.

How's it goi- FUCK!

What the hell is with all these weird surges today!?

Is that a fucking explosion!?!

All the stone walls started to crumble around us. Then the roof fell. Along with me.

Somehow, I was undamaged, and landed right next to the unconscious Rick, who was also relatively undamaged.

Soon after this happened, Rick began to stir, and slowly opened his eyes. He looked around in confusion for awhile, and decided to get up from his not so comfortable position.

The hand he used to support himself, somehow, ended up landing on me.

He began softly rubbing his hands along my long, hard shaft, eventually bringing me to a climax.

I wish.

Anyways, he realized I was a hammer, and said something under his breath, which I caught, since I have mana based hearing.

 "The hammer! I forgot about that! Though I don't know how, as it was used on me every day."

Wow! He doesn't even sound like a toddler!

I mean with his use of words. He obviously has a horrible high pitched voice.

After going through such a wonderful experience, I was immersed in my fantasies.

Just as soon, I was broken out of them by Ricks voice.

"What... happened?"

Oh, how I wish I could tell you my stories.

All the wonder, the bicorns, the shit eating, the random guy who wasn't Broly.

Even more so all the monsters, all the people, all the soul eaters.

Especially about the anus flayers. It was horrible.

Interrupting my line of though, some woman in shiny gold armor, along with a military escort, came to the area, and started picking up the children, along with their weapons. I immediately deemed them to be unconscious because of their unresponsiveness.

The woman then comes to Rick, and I decide to focus on her.

She has luscious wavy blonde hair, that seems luminescent even here away from the sun, as well as round ears of a human, and green eyes that are slightly giving off a bright green glow. Her eyes have a soft look, and she has high cheekbones. Her eyebrows are thin and sharp as well. Her lips are not as full as Ricks, but they are still pretty good, and her nose is thin, with the bridge not having too steep of an incline. She also has a pretty nice body shape.

The armor she is wearing seems to be more ornamental, as from my mana vision, I can see that it is only coated by gold, and made from copper. Along with the light armor, she is wearing a cloak that has a pin on the left side, close to where a normal persons heart would be. The pin is rather large, and seems to be engraved with a pheonix that is mid-flight.

Maybe she is a noble.

Once she reaches Rick and I, she says one sentence.

"Do you want to come with me, little boy?"

Her voice flows smoothly, and has a nice tone to it.

Come, or Cum? Personally, I think either one is fine.

Rick immediately responded with an enthusiastic "YES!" and has a strange glint in his eyes that I know very well.

The great eyes of lust. What used to be my special skill before I lost my eyes, has been inherited by this child. I'm starting to love Rick more and more.

The woman doesn't seem to notice this, and grabs his hand, helping him up. She then proceeds to hold his hand and bring him to the rest of the escort, taking me along with them.

Still, what was with all the monsters that were here?

Was this some sort of research facility?

If so, why were the children here?

More importantly, why the Anus Flayers?

We soon reach the escort after traversing through the rubblr, and reach the escort.

The woman begins to speak, as some men look at her with lust, and the rest look at Rick... with the very same lust.

'My Precious!! HISSSSS!!!!!'

Anyways, the woman began to speak, and said, "I'm keeping this one. The rest will be dealt with the way we planned."

What? Dealt with? Will they be given to anus flayers?

Not my problem. I just want to achieve my own goals.
