Attention!

“Hey you guys up yet?” (Red)

The newly evolved Emperor penguin turns his head to look around at his surroundings. 

“Looks like we didn't move from the cove but an hour or two has passed. Oh, we appear to be a baby again.” (Red)

“Hello? greetings? salutations?” (Red)

A bloodthirsty look grows in Fuck Off eyes which looks very out of place on the body of a small and fluffy baby emperor penguin.

“Hehe, let's have some fun.” (Red)

Waddling out of the cove, the fluffy body enters the penguin-filled bay. looking around it finds a level 5 chinstrap penguin which he locks eyes with. Letting out an angry squark it rushes at him, following as he retreats back into the cove. 

“Considering I am less than 3 days old and in the body of a baby, this makes you a child predator huh?” (Red) 

“SQUARK!”

“Wow, that was loud. You would definitely be a screamer in bed. Shame I don't have any ball gags hehe.” (Red) 

As Fuck Off reaches the middle of the cove he stops and faces the incoming attacker. With a manic glint in his eyes, Red waits until the attacker are almost upon him before he starts to move. 

Lifting one clawed foot into the air he pivots so that chinstrap penguin charges past. Then in one motion, He puts all of his weight onto the raised foot slamming it down onto the chinstrap penguin's foot, causing it to stumble. With all of his weight pressing on to the foot of the charging attacker, Red tilts his head back before slamming it into the penguin's side.

The momentum carries the attacker forward causing the beak to tear through its flesh with ease. Crimson liquid sprays over the cove as the chinstrap penguin falls to the ground, dead.

“Boring, easy, weak...boring. Yelp let's get started.” (Red)

With a little effort, Fuck Off managed to flip the corpse so that it was belly side up. Once in the desired position he ignored the loot option and slammed his beak to the soft flesh just under where the left collar bone would have been for a human. Then with a sawing motion and a lot of spraying blood he made a diagonal line down to the right hip, before repeating the process on the opposite side.  

This resulted in a large red X to be carved into the corpse, which a now bloody Fuck Off began to peel the sides off of to reveal the penguin insides.

“What really?!?! Who would have thought, well there's no getting past you is there. Now let's have a looky here” (Red)

After poking around the innards of the dead penguin for several minutes Red took a step back.

“Hmmm, yes it's as I thought. I have no fucking clue what the anatomy of a penguin is meant to look like. It looks like the heart is in a relatively similar location to that of a humans, which makes it an easy target. I can't find any magic core or anything and nothing is glowing. Bored now, loot.” (Red)  

As the body dissipated into blue lights Red gathered a small group of one level 4 chinstrap penguin, three level 5 chin straps and a single level 4 Emperor penguin. 

“So you guys ready for our little gang bang?” (Red)

“SQUARK!” X5

“No, you're meant to say yes, scream during and cry afterwards in regret. Come on, guys.” (Red)

 “SQUARK!” X5 The five penguins waddle towards Red, beady eyes filled with stupidity and rage. 

“Oh this should be fun” (Red)

As the miniature fluffy horde of death waddled forward, Red begins to circle around them, making sure that he would not be caught in the middle.

Red made sure to stay on the outside of the group as he circled around. Doing his best to duck and weave through the attacks. He would slap the other penguins using his flippers, scratching with his clawed feet and stab with his beak.    

This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

Before long the little horde was covered in cuts and scratches while two laid on the floor after being tripped. 

“They appear to be out of stamina. I suppose all the training was worth it. Should I finish them off?” (Red)

“Yes, you are wasting time.” (Grey)

“Please stop bullying them Red” (Green)

“Oh, you guys are back? Were you watching this whole time? Blush. I always thought you would watch my first time but to think where spying on me? I never thought you guys where closet perverts” (Red)

Fuck Off begins to kill each of the penguins with relative ease due to their exhausted state. While Grey replies in a monotone voice.

 “You know me, I just love watching people fight for the first time.” (Grey)

“I sexing recognised it” (Red)  [I fucking knew it in Red terms]

“I...I am not a...pervert” (Green)

“That is a lot of increases for that short amount of time.” (Grey)

“Maybe stats increase faster in combat?” (Red)

“That is what happens in...in the books we read and games...we played.”  (Green)

After waiting a couple of minutes to recover Fuck Off began to do its regular circuit of a lap of the colony followed by pushing the snow boulder up the slope.

“I am telling you guys this is a waste of time. We should be fighting not walking in circles.”(Red)  

“We are not walking in circles, we are raising our stats.” (Grey)

“In a safe way.” (Green)

“In a very unproductive way you FUCKING IDIOTS. Training while fighting increases our stats faster and we learn how to use our strengths and defend against our weaknesses. There is no point in having power if we don't know how to fucking use it. We don't even have to kill the little shits to avoid reaching max level so we can save out stat points until we cant increase them naturally.” (Red)

“I don't see the point in rushing. We are stuck here and we don't even know what the task is.  There is no need to cause their suffering or put us at risk for your amusement. ”(Grey)

“Yes, I like the thrill of fighting, the unpredictability of chaos, causing pain to those who DESERVE it, maybe a slight sadist and masochist. But while I may get out of hand occasionally, killing boring and innocent penguins is not what I would prefer to be doing.” said Red in an unusually serious tone. “And I highly doubt the task would be completed by taking it slow and nice. Look around us! We”er in a frozen tundra, one of the harshest places a person can live. Do you honestly think they put us here so we can be idle?” 

“But  we don't need to rush and we weren't given a time limit. Plus the task could be to see how we treat those weaker than us” States Grey 

“No…”(Red)

“No? So you do just want to kill and harm them? I am telling you we…” (Grey)

“YOU FUCKING MORON! What happened last time you sat idle huh? We made no friends and were alone. We failed tests and exams, got bullied and Oh that's right that ASSHOLE BEAT US HALF TO DEATH EVERY DAY WHILE HE FUCKED OUR DEAR BITCH OF A MOTHER WHILE SHE LAUGHED! You can't just expect to sit around in this situation. This isn't earth we can make a difference and enjoy ourselves if you pull your head out of your own FUCKING DICK HOLE, stop moping like a LITTLE BITCH and actually do something. Then maybe this time I won't get us all killed. Dad was summoned to this world like some cliche hero, probably to fight some cunt another God sent. You think we can just PISS about and not do anything productive not only is that FUCKING boring, but it's also stupid. This is a fantasy world just like we always dreamed off, presumably with magic and adventure. But there will also be high risk and danger and while I love the type of thing I don't want to be pushed around like the BITCH you are making us out to be. If we take this slow and don't take chances we won't get anywhere.” (Red)

“...”(Grey) 

“...Please...stop figh...fighting” (Green)

*Grrrr*

“What was that?”(Grey)

“Hey don't try and change the…”(Red)

*Grrrr*

“Its coming from our stomach? Are we hungry?” (Red)

“I...think so.” (Grey)

“It's been a while...si... since we felt hunger, what with be...being dead and all” (Green)

 “And we were also stuck inside the grapes anal cavity.” (Red)

“Penguins eat fish. So we should go fishing?” (Grey)

“Fine but I am not dropping this.” (Red)

Looking around they spot a group of penguins that appear to be heading into the water. After deciding the relative safety in numbers or as Red called it, more meat shields, they joined the back of the group and followed them into the water. 

After submerging into the frigid water and swimming out to open waters Fuck Offs eyes widen at the skeptical before them.  

Spires of pale coral reach from the depths of the ocean, creating an underwater forest for the unique ecosystem. Meter tall honeycombs scuttle along the ashen coral, occasionally opening a hexagon to produce a beautiful glow which drew the fish into one of its open maws. 

Colossal spherical shapes that produced bioluminescent spores into the waters, float amidst the spiraling and towing coral, which illuminated the surroundings.   

“Yeah, that's probably its equivalent to sperm.” (Red)

“That is a slightly disturbing thought.” (Grey)     

“We should go guzzle the stuff for protein.” (Red)

*Boom, crack, crunch*

A giant crab claw comes around from the corner of the spire and crushes one of the honeycomb creatures, causing its insides to spray out into the ocean.   

Attention!

You have activated Lucky bastard +100 luck for 30 seconds

“Da fuck?” (Red)

“Sor...sorry. I...didn't mean to. I just...got scared.” (Green)

“Well, we should make the most of it.” (Grey)

A flash of light in the shape of a fish flashes past them.

**********************************************************************************************************

Somewhere in South Africa

Sat on a sunflower which was rooted on the back of a beached whale sat two small figures who could wipe out the galaxy with less than a subconscious thought.    

“...and that's a royal flush, and now you are broke.” Said a pale looking boy with white hair and red eyes with a black and purple bird sat upon his head. 

“Well shit, sigh, alright roll the dice then.” Spoke a horse with the head of a whole male human baby which was holding the cards.

The boy throws four dice over his shoulder. One grows to the size of a house which obliterates the humans trying to help the beached whale. Another becomes smaller than the atoms that make up our reality. Another decides to grow wings and try to escape before turning into a polka-dotted shark, While the last goes into a different plane of existence where time is a tangible construct called the apple pie.  

“Well looks like you are going to Gia for our little bet. Shame the location only has three sentient beings. Well, off you go then.”

The horse with the head of a baby's body disappeared, presumably to carry out the end of the bet.  

The boy bursts out into laughter as his companion disappears. “Dumb Ass wore mirrored sunglass to a poker game hahaha.” 

He then turns to a screen which has appeared from nowhere where he sees the horse baby hybrid yell” I love sucking massive dick and watching duck porn!!!!!!!!!” underwater at Gias north pole causing a shock wave to be produced before both creatures teleported to sit upon a black hole.   

**********************************************************************************************************

Regular POV

Fuck Off is currently swimming along trying to find a fish to fill its stomach and an opportunity to not waste the added luck.

When suddenly a powerful and spontaneous shock wave pulsed throughout the ocean. Its power frightening the oceans inhabitants and striking dread and an overwhelming sense of inferiority to even the most powerful of monsters. 

This shock wave causes Fuck Off to be slammed into the coral head first. Miraculously his beak pieced through the flash of light what was swimming around them.   

“Sob, sob, sob” (Green)

“What...was...that?” (Grey)

“Well shit.” (Red)

Grey goes deep into thought as if understanding something "Red, you were right. We can't just sit idle...

Congratulations
