Chapter 5
Stepping out from behind the cactus, John dug his fingers into his shoulder, digging out a fifty caliber bullet. He had retreated into a hidden cavern, dug out from a cliff face, and concealed the U-Haul with the newly acquired windfall within.
Kristina had just rounded the corner, seeing John bleeding, and full of holes. Panicking, she ran to him, grabbing ahold of a medical kit and knife, along with some alcohol. Unable to get to the bullet wounds, she screamed at him, “Sit down, now!” Digging out the bullets from his shoulders and body, she poured the whole bottle of vodka over his massive frame.
“How are you still alive?” Panicking at the sheer amount of wounds, She began regretting following John's plan. However, after digging out around twenty bullets, she found his flesh and wounds beginning to react to the remaining bullets, and started pushing them out by itself.
Waiting a few more minutes, she began hearing bullets dropping to the floor from their wounds. Looking back up to the first wound she had pulled a bullet from, she found to her amazement, that it had completely sealed on its own. It no longer even had a scab on the surface.
After another hour, all of the wounds had healed, and no more blood was lost. Looking down to the ground, she was even more confused. “How the hell did you get shot that many times, and have that many wounds, and only bleed that much? I’ve seen more blood from a busted nose.”
Looking back at John’s body, she could see pink circles of newly grown flesh, from where he had been shot before. “Are you ok, and how the hell did you get here?” Smiling lightly, I walked back towards the cactus, walking behind it, only to disappear suddenly. Waiting, after another second I reappeared, to the shock and confusion of Kristina. “What the hell was that?”
Laughing, I explained. “I’m not too sure to be honest, it’s a new skill I got.” “It’s called forest jumping, and I can use it whenever there is any kind of vegetation or foliage around.” “I can jump into any type of vegetation, and come out wherever there is any related foliage growing.” “Did you get the money?” laughing, Kristina walked to the U-Haul, opening it to six bags full of cash. “Yes, I did!”
Stashing the money into the U-Haul, we knew we didn’t have long before the cops and police would be all over us. Pulling out into the Road, Kristina began driving to Montezuma castle in Arizona.
Sitting in the Back of the U-Haul and Feeling extremely hungry after the shootout, John took the two new corpses he had snagged from the fight and began devouring them, along with the remaining pigs from the farm raid. Ding, +10, ding, +10, Ding, +.5, Ding, +.5, Ding, +.5

Yes! Closing his eyes, he lost consciousness. Waking up to Kristina standing above him, trying to wake him up by picking up, his now massive head, no longer able to move his body.
Looking around, he felt the U-Haul was smaller than it used to be. Looking at Kristina, it finally dawned on him that his head was close to her in size. Finally, he turned to look at his new system page.

Reading his new system page, he realized, he was almost fifteen feet tall, and was almost too big to fit into the big U-Haul that they have been using. Looking to Kristina, she realized he was now awake.
“We are here.” Looking at the shutter gate, on the back of the U-Haul, he realized it was still light out. “Is there anyone outside?” Thinking for a moment, she replied, “Yes, It’s a national reserve, and monument, what, did you think no one would be here?”
Thinking for a moment, they both started laughing as he picked her up and put her on his shoulder. “I guess I’ll just have to get used to using my new skills.” Pulling up the shudder on the U-HAUL the light came flooding in, assaulting my eyes and senses. The heat of the area was like an even, easily over a hundred and fifteen degrees Fahrenheit.
Stepping off, the U-Haul truck bounced, finally free of his massive weight. Stepping onto the ground, the gravel shifted, bracing against him. Looking around the area for people, it was like being on a lookout on top of a tree. Finding a few dozen people walking around the immediate area, and more walking towards the valley and lake.
Feeling an attracting force coming from the valley and lake area, John, dove into a nearby tree, disappearing and reappearing from a tree a few hundred feet away. He continued doing this, avoiding the people walking in the area, until he made his way into the nearby lake. “This is where I feel the attractive force coming from.” Putting down Kristina, he jumped into the lake, following the feeling in his body down into the depth of the lake.
Following the force down, he felt a current pushing back on him, trying to push him out of the lake and back on the land. Fighting against the current he kept going down, eventually following the current and feeling into a hidden cavern near the bottom of the lake.
Crawling into the cavern, he found the top had air. Making his way up, he could finally breathe, and looked around the pitch black cavern. Not able to see anything, he held onto the walls, making his way farther into the darkness. After a few hundred feet in, he began to have a bad feeling, as if he were staring into the face of a predator.
Listening closely, he began to hear something rubbing on the rocks, and moving slowly towards him. Unsure of what it might be, he began backing away, until he remembered, he had a lighter in his pocket. Taking it out, he began trying to light it, but continued failing, from the massive size of his fingers.
Through the sparks, he finally noticed the outline of a massive water python. The pythons head alone was easily six feet long, and its body was as thick as a barrel. Looking around for anything he might use as a weapon, he realized the boulder in front of him did not appear to be attached to any other rock formation, and he might be able to use it.
Grabbing ahold of the boulder, he pulled it from the cavern floor, and tossed it towards the noise the python was making. Crash! ....Hiss!! Unsure if he had hit the snake, he was caught off guard, when he was smashed into the wall by its tail. Slam! Crash! “FUCK!!”
Stumbling to his feet, he looked into the dark, now completely discombobulated, and turned around. Listening, he could hear the sound of the snake moving all around, seemingly in every direction. HISSSS!! SLAM! The python slammed into him, biting down on his shoulder, and pulled him in, constricting him. HISSSSS!
Feeling weak, the snake continued to constrict, intent on making him its next meal. Who knows how long it has been since the snake had eaten a full meal, and who knows how long it will be to find one after this. Feeling his eyes beginning to shut, John heard the voice of his wife, telling him how much she needed him, and how she couldn’t live without him.
Opening his eyes, and feeling the massive snake still pumping venom and constricting him, he pulled his arms out from the coils, and grabbed ahold of the snakes head. Holding it still, he opened his mouth, and crunched into the snake’s throat. The monstrous creature began writhing around, frantically pumping the entirety of its venom into him, and using every ounce of muscle that it had.
However, it was not enough. Bite, by bite, John ate through the snake’s body, finally decapitating it. Tossing away the beast’s detached head, he devouring it’s still beating heart, finishing the beast off. Finally, after the snake fell, he too fell, alone, and in the dark.
Waking up hours, or days later, he was surprised to see the cavern was no longer dark. Getting up, he finally got a good look at the massive snake that almost killed him. The snake was massive, even bigger than he originally thought it was. The snake also had a strange set of teeth on it, completely different than any other snake he had ever seen.
They looked more like a set of shark’s teeth and looking at his shoulder, they were used in a similar fashion as well. The only thing that made this similar to a normal snake, was the two massive fangs on either side of the beasts mouth, and were pumping who knows what kind of poison into him. The snake was also very long, easily over seventy or eighty feet long, and wide enough to fit a truck down its throat.
This thing was a super predator. I wonder how it made its way down here, and why it stayed. Looking around, I suddenly realized, there was no new light source. Looking at my new system page, I finally understood.
