Dimension Wars

I throw myself back onto the couch after 7 hours of dancing around throwing punches at the air and kicking invisible opponents. Even Jasper got bored of watching me act the idiot and is currently snoozing away in his corner.

Hey, Dart was that last sequence any good? it felt better than the last 30 fails.

[ The Host has managed to compile a low-quality stage one body refinement technique. This unnamed technique will improve the Host's overall body condition at a slow but noticeable rate until you plateau at you're the first Vital energy bottleneck]

"What bottleneck? And let's just call it Vital Flow 1.0 or VF1.0" I speak aloud to Dart.

[The Host should not worry about opening up Body energy nodes. with your current Vital Flow 1.0, it will take an exceptionally long time for you to reach such a stage. I would suggest improving VF1.0 as you train.]

Well, ill leave Vital energy alone for now. It's starting to get late I should head to bed and work on figuring out elemental energy training tomorrow.

Heading upstairs I take a quick shower and head into my room glancing at my collection of cheap swords brought at conventions. They might actually come in handy someday soon. Might want to upgrade to something more durable though.

Jasper manages to jump onto the bed with me... something he's not normally able to do.

"Jasper you been working out while I've been at work?" I asked jokingly as I rub his cute ugly little head.

Hey Dart, inspect Jasper for me.

[Target "Jasper" Inspecting]

Sex: Male

Rank: Zero Beast

Race: Canis lupus - Pug Variant

Bond: Currently sees itself in a close relationship of equals with Lee Long

[Higher Energy that resonates with the Target.

Resonance with Vital Energy (Body Tempering) - Above Average

Resonance with Psychic Energy - Zero

Resonance with Elemental Energy Law's- Above Average

Soul energy: Zero]

"wow, Jasper, when you get ripped, don't beat me up ok?" I Give him a tummy rub and wonder how I managed to train my pet to think of me as an equal... I'm clearly an Alpha... right?

Dart, how do beasts train?

[Beasts train by instinctively collecting Elemental energy into a core located in their brains. While Vital energy strengthens individual cells. Its all done on an involuntary way until they gain enough intelligence to start questioning the process and augmenting it themselves. Also eating the cores of other stronger beasts help them evolve and grow.]

Well, goodnight Dart we have a busy day in the morning I want to learn how to shoot lightning bolts from my fingers.

Closing my eyes I drift off to sleep looking forward to exploring this new world.

--

Waking up I feel the soft poking of grass digging into my skin and the warmth of the sun beating down on me.

"What the hell" I mumble to myself

I just went to bed right? Why am I outside? Why is the Sun so high? These questions race through my mind as I observe the world around me ...

A clearing in the middle of what looks like a Forest but it's hard to tell how large it may be.

Hey Dart, you there?

[host ... Soul bzt]

That was useful Dart, thanks for the input.

So this place must have something to do with my soul's strange configuration and Darts too much of an idiot at rank D to help out.

Looking down at myself I seem to be wearing nothing, except trousers made from some rough hemp-like material. All I'm missing now is a rusty sword and a slime to kill. Well that and a starting town with an NPC's to guide me.

Either I'm messing with myself using my own soul energy on an unconscious level... or Truck-kun killed me in my sleep and I'm now in another world ready to become the new Hero / Deamonlord! I'd need a better system than Dart though if that was the case.

I catch movement from the corner of my eye and slowly turn my head towards it.

Really!! I think to myself while I stare at the 40cm tall bunny happily munching on some grass, while the sun glistens off the 10cm horn protruding from the middle of its forehead.

Is that a frigging Unirabbit? Please don't let me die while being impaled by a Unirabbit horn... the indignity.

Keeping my eyes on the rabbit I take a slow step back. Sadly the movement seems to catch the things attention. "I just know this was going to happen... it always does in everything I've ever read," I mutter aloud.

Ok! time for the Hero to fight his first epic battle barehanded and half naked. with only 7 hours of "Training" under my belt.

I widen my stance and wait as the cute little bunny charges me with its horn leading the way.Just as it was about to hit me I spin to the left while kicking out with my right leg.

Or that's what I tried to do, In my head, it worked perfectly. In reality, I fell onto the rabbit as it passed under me pinning it to the ground. The rabbit couldn't get to anything vital with its horn as happily... It was currently stuck in the muscle just below my right collarbone.

"Bleep bleep bleep oh my good bleep god" I scream (very manfully, if I do say so myself) in pain as I tried to beat the rabbit to death with my unpracticed and uncontrolled punches too its very hard head. This had the undesired effect of jostling the horn currently sheathed in my flesh.

After an unknowable amount of time, pain, blood, and a weird rabbit scream every now and again, we both stopped fighting. The Rabbit because my weight must have smothered it to death because my punches did nothing at all. I stopped doing anything because well moving hurt like hell.

I finally plucked up the courage to unsheathe the horn from my body, only to regret it almost instantly as blood gushed out, in time with my rapidly beating heart.

I got up onto my knees while keeping one hand pressed hard against my chest. looking down at the corpse of my fallen foe I tried to figure out what was happening to me.

As I stared blankly for more than a minute trying to think as well as to not cry like a little kid from the pain. Something odd started to happen to the rabbit. motes of light stated to escape from its body and into my chest. The process rapidly sped up over the next 30sec's until the Unirabbit simply faded away into nothingness. Except for the oddly shaped horn dagger left in its place and the rush of energy that stormed through my (dream?) veins.

I took my hand away from my chest to look at my wound. To my surprise, it had stopped bleeding and now looked like a three week old puckered red scar. It still hurt but in a dull aching way instead of the sharp omfg way.

"So this is really happening to me... I fell asleep and dreamed myself into my own little fantasy world" I mumbled to myself as I leaned forward to pick up the dagger with my bloody hand. " Wait is this even a world? or is it just a small patch of land I've created with soul energy?"

OK, first things first I need to stay alive, heaven knows what would happen to me here if I died here. I could just wake up and everything would be fine. On the other hand, I could just not wake up at all.

Looking around the small clearing for any danger or something to use I fail to see anything of interest."I'll just head out and see if there's an edge to this world or if I've created an entire globe inside my dreams." I think to myself while walking towards the sun.

"I hope I don't leave the noob area, I'd hate to run into a Wyvern," I say aloud to myself to fill out the silence.

I spent the next few hours stumberling around the woods looking for a hill or large tree to climb to get a good view of the area.

sadly all I managed to find where 2 more rabbits and a bee the size of my fist. thankfully the bee was non agressive. The rabbits droped one horn and a rabbit skin.

so I get crafting materials aswell as finished items.makes sence if I'm making this up as i go along Ive always loved crafting in games.

what must have been 5 hours since I awoke here a wave of disorentation swept over me. I found myself laying in bed with jasper barking insanly at a ball of light and shadow swirling above my head.

As i was staring into the shadow-light wondering what the hell it was the tip of what looked like a horn stated to emerge. seeminly being created one molocual at a time.

Just as the materialization was about to compleat the hilt of the dagger. I managed to remember basic psyics and rolled off the side of my bed just avoiding the dagger as it plunged down into my bed point first... right where my neck would have been. while staring in confused horror at the dagger for a few seconds two more items droped atop the dagger. one rabbit horn and one skin.

"wow that was a close call" i say to Jasper as he sniffs the objects on my bed while I try to control my madly beating heart.

life just got even stranger!
