I sat in one of the old shops that littered the surrounding areas the fairy sat on my leg eating a piece of an apple I roasted for her, it has been three days since I left the hive and bought this fairy but nothing has changed.  I have played it safe and kept to the shadow’s when it comes to the monsters around here, most are huge monsters but there are a few smaller monsters that are on par with the insect leaders which is a problem because they hunt in pacts. Right now I was resting after escaping one of these packs, after preparing some food for the both of us I brought up my stats

    My stat’s hasn’t increased a lot in the amount of time I have spent killing things but I’m pretty sure I can get more levels if I start killing the monsters around here I just need to be smart about this. I’ve completely given up on fire arms unless I can shove the barrel in a monsters mouth and fire, a heavy caliber might harm them but that’s too loud and it will probably get me killed. I got up from my make-shift camp then checked my map, there were a few monsters around me but there are some that are along.

        I walked through the deserted street, the ruins of the fallen city surrounding me followed by the echoes of the new inhabitance. I approached one of the lone monsters that was hiding in a back alley, it was reptilian and had white scales all over it’s bodies but you could also see a few scars here and there layering it’s body.

                Shadowclaw (Variant)

a creature that uses the shadows to kill it's prey, has incredible instincts and is relentless in hunting it's prey, can rival insect leaders if alone

                Well if I can play my cards right I can probably take it down before it call’s others, if I remember right Shadowclaws hate bright lights and curious creatures. If they find something new even if their instincts are screaming at them to run away they will still try to investigate it which makes it easier for me. I lit the fuse on a homemade nail bomb then threw it beside the Shadowclaw, the creature turned to show off its crimson eyes and serrated teeth. I took cover behind a dumpster and followed by an explosion and shrapnel flying everywhere.

  The explosion called it’s brethren but they had no idea what caused the death of their kin but I didn’t let the opportunity pass. I threw a flash bang followed by another nail bomb. Cries of pain filled the air followed by another explosion this one didn’t work as well seeing how two Shadowclaws were still breathing just critically injured. I walked out of my hiding spot and ended their suffering with my spider glaive which I made from the spider queen, before any interruptions appeared I sent the corpses into my inventory.

                As I was heading to a safe place to check my notifications but when I was about to enter the building it was smashed by a giant reptilian that glared at me with murderous intent. The reptile looked like a giant version of the Shadowclaws but it was on all fours and calling it over grown was an understatement. People say you shouldn’t flush your pets; well this is the result of ignoring people.

If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

                Mother Shadowclaw (enraged)

this creature is the mother of all shadowclaws and has a paternal sense of their lives, if one of her children is killed she will make sure it's killers follow it's children 

                I turned and started to move only to be deafened by its roar which caused me to run for my life, buildings crashed and the ground shook as the creature rushed after me. Rubble crashed down smashing into my right arm, the creature started to gain ground on me as I struggled to keep moving while ignoring the crushing pain in my right arm. The creature came down for the final blow but I slid into the subway entrance just in time to avoid its mouth, I rolled down the stairs as the ceiling rumbled from the creature crashing to the gravel and cement.

                I landed at the bottom only to be enveloped in darkness, the only light that I had was the fairy that was flying beside me. She stared at me with worry but I only smile at her thinking about how lucky I was to find this subway entrance, I crawled over to the wall using it to get to my feet. Well I know what I should increase now; I opened my window and poured all of my points into my vitality.

Vitality reached 100 you have unlocked: viral immunity

from your high vitality your body wards of all virus's and poisons that may enter your body

you have other messages do you wish to view them?

“Yes”

you have passed the first bottle neck, you have unlocked guild function

with this function you can create a guild that will grow and give benefits to both leaders and members

for the first to succeed in passing the bottleneck you unlocked: claim land and 5 million gold

Claim land let's you own certain areas which give you a safe zone, people can't die in safe zones unless they are invaded by monsters or in a duel

do you wish to create a guild?

                When I said yes an information sheet appeared which asked me the details of my guild and what it was called. I stayed there filling out the sheet while I recovered my strength. The creature above me is still making a racket but can’t get in so I’m safe for now, the problem I have now is what creatures lurk in the dark?

Shadow claws are pretty much a guaranty but still there might be much worse down here, the only plus side is that Mama can’t get down here well not at the moment anyways. As I concentrated on the task before me the fairy flew over to my ruined arm, as I was about to ask what she was doing a small light appeared from her hands.

“Healing Light!” (Fairy)

first ability unlocked: Healing Light LV 1- all fairies have a healing ability and some are weaker than others this spell is one of those however it can be strengthened, all wounds in the light will be healed

you have been exposed to holy light, attribute unlocked: 1%

                My wound slowly closed but the pain was still there, I guess healing magic won’t make up for the pain of the wound and loss of blood but it will save a person’s life. This is still level one too so if we can increase the level we might be able to regrow lost limbs, the only problem will be the mana consumption I’m sure she can’t do this for long. Well on another note the guild registration is done.

              New World Order

Job: Production, protection, Promotion

our guild produces gear along with protects it's members given a reasonable amount of course, we also help our members increase in power either it be levels or skills, be warned though that if you commit crimes against the guild it will be dealt with severely 

Applications will be sent to players in the surrounding areas, when they reach LV 10 they have a option to leave the guild do you have any restrictions to this rule?

*those that leave will be required to keep guild secrets hidden

*All items produced from the guild and guild activities will be given back to the guild

*If turned hostile these people will be reset to where they were when they joined the guild, all advancement after leaving the guild will also be reset 

                Now that is done let’s get out of this subway and back to the surface, if I stay here too long creatures will be the least of my worries. I jumped down onto the tracks and continued forward into the darkness ahead leaving Mama’s pained roars in the distance.
