Hello World_\\:
Unit 4797 unfroze from its temporary shutdown, and immediately it was met with sharp claws. The connection of glass and keratin made a sound resembling a kitchen fork scraping against a ceramic plate.
Whatever attacked Unit 4797 shrieked back as it reacted negatively to the terrible noise. While the creature backed off, Unit 4797 grabbed the firearm on it’s belt and aimed.
Pow Pow Pow
Three shots fired before the creature dropped to the ground, dead. Unit 4797 didn’t let its guard down however, as it still aimed its barrel at the lifeless body.
Unit 4797 gazed at the creature on the ground and inspected it. Its features were similar to the Canis Lupus family, but the fur was patterned with yellow stripes and orange dots. The Canine has the mane of a lion as well, but colored yellow instead of the usual blonde.
The size of the whole beast was nine feet in length, and estimated to be around two hundred to three hundred pounds. The species of canine was unfamiliar with Unit 4797, scanning the corpse to render as a model in its files.
Before the scanning could finish its processing, the sound of crunching leaves was produced behind Unit 4797. Twirling around with its gun in hand, it fired two shot’s in the maw’s of the beast charging at it. The beast fell, and slid on the grass into the body of the wolf on the floor.
The beast was revealed to be a lookalike of the dead wolf right next to it. When Unit 4797 was examining and scanning the bodies, it heard another set of crunching leaves behind itself. Then another from its left. And then another from its right.
Soon Unit 4797 found itself surrounded by wolves. The wolves belonged to the same species that Unit 4797 euthanized previously. There were six wolves in total that were circling around Unit 4797. Unit 4797 was close to pulling the trigger before the sound of a howl interrupted it.
Looking at the source revealed a wolf much like the others. The difference was that it had no mane, and was twice the size of the ones circling around Unit 4797. Immediately when the wolf howled, its eyes were shielded by a thin material that shaded its eyes.
The others did the same, and all in unison, the fur and manes of the wolves flashed a bright and vibrant light. The light glitched out the cameras on Unit 4797’s hud which temporarily blinded it.
The sound of scratching metal and glass consumed the forests natural noise. Unit 4797 could hear some of the wolves whining from the horrid noise, while the others didn’t stop in their viscous assault.
Unit 4797 shot in directions it assumed they belonged to.
Pow Pow pow, Pow, Pow Pow- click, click.
During those shots, Unit 4797 heard two bodies hit the floor, and one wolf crying out in pain. Swiftly holstering the gun back into the belt, unit 4797 took on a fighting stance and waited for another strike to come its way.
When it felt a jaw of teeth scratch its left arm, it punched the snout of a wolf and heard the crunching of its top jaw. Then the sound of a body crumpling to the ground was heard, and no other noise followed after that.
The glitching camera was soon running again, though it showed a bright- almost deep fried- look to it. But it was enough for 4797 to see the other wolves huddled with the pack leader.
There was only three left, not counting the pack leader. 4797 saw that their eyelids were gone, and saw an opportunity. Unit 4797 pulled out a small ball with a pin connecting to it. Pulling the pin, it rolled at the feet of the pack leader.
The wolves looked at it and growled with confusion. Looking away, Unit 4797 waited for the inevitable-
BANG
And when it rung out, the sound of the wolves whining signaled that it worked. Unit 4797 pulled out their gun and ejected the empty magazine before catching it and replacing it with a full one. Reloaded, 4797 shot at the blinded pack leader’s head and chest.
Before 4797 could get another shot in, it howled. And when it howled, the subordinates quickly threw themselves in front of the pack leader. One went too far to it’s right, and 4797 shot it twice before it slumped over dead.
Quickly, 4797 shot at the rest, unloading its mags into the rest of the wolves. The shots only killed one, leaving the pack leader and one wolf left. With only two shots left, 4797 aimed the sight at the pack leader.
Before it pulled the trigger it quickly turned away. The fur of the two wolves shined behind 4797, and when it stopped, the last wolf licked away at the pack leaders wounds.
The wounds healed impossibly fast, as tissue was quickly being reformed in the matter of seconds. 4797 shot at the wolf mending the pack leader, and it fell dead. When it fell, the pack leader growled and took a stance.
It then quickly ran in zig-zags towards Unit 4797. 4797 waited for the pack leader to walk into the sight of its gun as it continued to cross the distance in a couple jumps.
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
It was ten feet away when 4797 finally shot at the pack leader charging at it. The shot landed on its chest, yet it didn’t stop or flinch in the slightest. 4797 tucked its gun away before the pack leader landed on top of it.
Unit 4797 quickly grasped on jaws, inches away from its scratched glass hud. Drool pooled on the surface as the pack leaders jaws inched its way slowly. The wolf growled and snarled with pure hatred- if it could possess the feeling.
Seeing no other option, 4797 kicked it in the stomach full force. The force was as if a metal ball the size of a football flew at two-hundred-sixty-two miles per hour. It was enough for the large and heavy beast to go a meter into the air.
The pack leader whined as its internal organs were surely either lethally damaged or torn. The pack leader heaved in breaths of air as 4797 jumped onto its feet and reloaded its firearm.
4797 quickly euthanized the miserable beast before it could suffer anymore. Looking around its surroundings, 4797 made sure nothing else was hiding or charging at it.
When 4797 lowered its guard down, it quickly checked on its statistic’s. Yet it couldn’t. 4797 tried multiple times to check on its statistic’s, but it still wasn’t able to. Finally, a display was shown in front of 4797.
Yet this display was digital. It wasn’t physical either, but it was there outside of its hud. And on that display wasn’t the statistics 4797 was hoping for, rather it was a long lengthy note.

When the time hit zero, the ground quaked violently. Enough so, that it knocked 4797 off of its feet and landed on its back. Looking around on the floor, Unit 4797 saw the trees start to dissipate into pure white nothingness.
The floor peeled like if it was an orange, and then imploded on itself into nothingness as well. Everything disappeared after a few minutes.
When everything was gone, it left 4797 floating in the ocean of nothingness. After an hour of floating and stillness, surroundings appeared instantly in a ‘blink-and-you’ll-miss-it’ motion.
As if a light switch was flipped, solid ground and sky revealed themselves. And laid in them was thousands of stars in the cloudless sheet.
When 4797 finally got to its feet, it saw pelts, small bags of coins, tokens, and a backpack laying next to it. Grabbing the items, 4797 stuffed everything into the backpack.
The backpack wasn’t special in anyway, only being a camping bag. However, when 4797 looked inside the bag, there was nothing. And then in the next moment they returned, as if nothing had happened.
4797 tried scanning the bag to compare it to that of a regular camping bag, but was met with a display instead.
*Backpack of Extreme Depths:
This backpack is capable of housing a set number of items that physically can’t fit or have enough room for.
This item is [Common] rarity, meaning you can only store [100] items.
The item could only be stored by its weight. One pound is one slot.*
4797 was pleased with the new found ability, yet was still in need of its scanning capability. 4797 then tried the manual scan, activated at the right brow of its head. Holding it down, it seemed that the manual scan was able to work.
4797 then compared a camping bag that its own resembled, and the camping bag currently in its possession. There was no differences in the way it looked. It was the same height, length, width, and depth. There was nothing physically inept about the two.
Unit 4797 set it aside, as it put the bag over its shoulders, and checked on its utility belt. Everything was there. There were its six magazines, its D.E Pistol, taser, magnetic cuffs, ziplock bags, and surgical gloves.
The gloves that 4797 currently wore was a hard knuckle tactical glove, and colored the same as his now ruined leather jacket. It had a nice black as its base, and a bright neon blue as a trim around the knuckles and palms.
When 4797 checked up on everything, it finally made a move on, traversing the trees and bushes.
