Day 32
"Wake up... Your Hell Training begins today."-Mother
We traveled the entire day going at a reasonable pace towards mother's destination for my training.
By nightfall we arrived at a cliff and I was starving. We didn't take any rest breaks or didn't hunt for any food at all. I got the notification that we entered the 12th level and that the gravity is 3 times stronger. The scenery also changed and it turned into a kind of desertyish kind of place instead of a forest.
'hmm... mother must have traveled around a lot.'
I went near the edge of the cliff due to my curiosity and was awed by how far down it went. I couldn't even see the bottom. It was like an endless abyss that wanted to swallow you whole. This place kind of reminded of the Grand Canyon because it was huge. As I was about to lie down...
"Finally we can take a bre-EEEEEEEAAAAAAAKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!"-Me
Something slammed into me hard and I fell down into the ravine.
I faintly heard a 'good luck' while I was in the air but I couldn't respond because I was busy trying to grab on to something so that I don't become mashed tiger at the end of the fall.
I desperately attempted to hold onto the walls with my claws but the rocks were covered with a wet substance that didn't allow me to find a firm foothold, and due to gravity and my mass I wasn't able to slow down to lessen my fall.
I hit a large branch that was growing out of the earth and I definitely heard some cracks within my body.
'Yup... I broke some bones... again.'
And it hurt... a lot....
I thought that I was saved by the large branch but I heard a loud crack and the tree branch broke and down I went again into the abyss while crying like a baby.
The fall was definitely shorter this time and the landing was less painful, but because of my broken bones it still hurt plenty. The myth that cats always land on their feet is definitely a lie....
*ding*
For surviving from such a long fall you have learned the skill: Free Fall.
This skill allows you to take 10% less damage from falling from dangerous heights.
'Sigh... what the hell... why couldn't I have gotten this earlier?'
Due to your race you get 10% bonus to all stats in the dark.
You have entered the dungeon: Cavern of the Monsters of the Abyss.
The gravity is 5 times stronger here.
I could immediately feel the effects of the stronger gravity here and had to activate mana strengthening in order to stand.
It was really dark in here. I couldn't see anything. I had to rely on my sense of smell and hearing to move around.
I bumped into the walls of the ravine a bunch of times before I could move around. It was painful walking because of my injuries but I tried my best to ignore the pain and move on.
'I need to find a safe place to stay that don't have any predators lurking around.'
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
After about an hour of painfully, and blindly searching for a place to spend the darkness my vision slowly was able to adapt to the darkness. While walking I gained several stats in endurance, stamina and strength.
*ding*
You have learned: Night Vision
This skill allows you to see in the dark.
'Wow... Thanks a lot.... You would have been helpful soooo much earlier.'
With this new skill I could now see my surroundings much better and I saw that this place was filled with... well... rocks.
Lots and lots of rocks. There were a few plants that I didn't know the names of but other than that there was no other form of life that I could see.
'Oooh look a small stream.'
I limped over and drank thirstily from the stream.
'Sigh... how the hell am I going to get out of here?'
I look up and am barely able to see the light shining down from above.
'Well... I better find a place to stay the night first.'
I was exploring this area looking for a place to rest and suddenly the earth began shaking...
Rumble... rumble... rumble....
At first I thought it was just a small earthquake then I realized that they were footsteps... and that they were gradually getting closer... and closer....
The shaking of the earth increased more and more. I turned around and saw a big ass lizard.
Or more accurately a lizard that looked very similar to a tyrannosaurus rex... except that it had tiny curled horns on its head and its arms were well... lets say that it actually had usable arms.... and was twice the size of me....
It sniffed the air and turned in my direction...
"RROOOAAARRR!!!!"-Dinosaur
'Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, I'm fucked....'
I brought all of my mana to my feet and ran as fast as I could away from the beast that saw me as dinner, while ignoring the pain in my body.
The footsteps from the gigantic beast were slowly getting closer.. I turned my head around saw that the freaking dinosaur could also use mana strengthening and was fucking closing in on me.
I internally screamed in my mind like a little bitch and cursed mother for putting me in this situation.
With renewed vigor I ran with even more strength than before. After about a minute of intense running, I saw a cave that I could fit into that the dinosaur couldn't. With joy I increased my speed and ran towards the cave.
I heard a loud chomp behind me and an intense pain from my tail.
'Shit... that bastard ate a part of my tail!!!'
I ignored the pain, grit my teeth and leaped into the cave and I once more heard a loud biting noise behind me.
The dinosaur thingy attempted to break into the cave but wasn't able to fit in and eventually gave up and left.
'Whew.... shit...'
I checked my tail and looked at my injury..
'That bastard at least bit off 2 inches of my fucking tail...'
I licked it and tried to will the pain to go away.
Then I heard a growl behind me.
"Grrrr....."-???
