《DK (Dropped)》Chapter XI - South and East
Advertisement
It was still early in the night for me as the two warriors changed places.
With a head bow from Ragnar, he wished me a "Good night, Great DK!" as I waved with my left hand to him.
As Caesar took position at the entrance, he spoke to me. "Great DK, do you not wish to get some rest?"
"I am fine, the night is more beautiful to me than the day." (DK)
"It's true, such a splendid night with an alluring moon!" (Caesar)
There was a long pause in our conversation as we were just contemplating the sky.
"I already told this to Ragnar." (DK) "Starting tomorrow, he will focus on hunting bunnies during the day, I told him to not hunt in the night as it can be dangerous."
"Totally agree! It's best for us to hunt in the day, if you wish, I could join him in the hunt!" (Caesar)
"For now, only Ragnar should hunt, due to his wings!" (DK) "Besides, with me sleeping during the day, I want at least two of you in the Hive to protect Cleopatra and help her look after the young!"
"As expected of Great DK! You always suggest the right choices!" (Caesar)
(I still feel like it's too early to rest. Maybe this time I will take my time to check the other areas of my land!)
As I kept my hand on my chin everytime and I was deep in thoughts, Caesar knew something was up.
"Is there something bothering you?" The wasp inquired, worried that he had done something wrong.
"No, no, of course not!" (DK) "It's just that I was thinking about taking another walk trough my land."
"Another?" Caesar again inquired.

"Yes, I took a short one when Ragnar was on his shift." I informed him as I rose up from my spot at the entrance.
"I will be back, but there is a chance it wont be at the time of your shift, so have a good night and I will see you next day!" I told him as I departed
"Good night! Enjoy your walk!" (Caesar)
(This time I will try South, then East.) This was what I decided while descending down the hill.
Trough the forest of massive trees I walked again, around the same distance that I recalled from the North side.
"It seems the terrain here isn't rough like the previous one." I mumbled to myself, taking step after step.
Soon enough I found a new area, different from all the previous ones.
"A lake!" I shouted, it was a lake, a big one.
(I think I will take a look around?)
As I checked the area, walking around the lake and inspecting if I could find something new.
"Is that? Fish?" I wondered at the view of seeing them swimming around.
(Gray fish? Got no idea what they are called, but they are the same size of a bunny!)
It took me a long time, but finally I finished walking all around the lake.
"I saw no possible way for the water to get into the lake, maybe the water comes underground streams?"
Then, with a quick decision I decided to leave, heading towards East.
(I have no use for water or fish, but I bet it will help the wasps in the future!)
I kept walking, wondering about different things, until I reached the end of the East area.
"Compared to the rest of the land, this seems like a waste land!" I shouted while conteplating the view.

The ground was covered either by millions of small rocks or dirt.
Kept walking trough, the more steps I took, the bigger the rocks got.
(White, gray, brow rocks? I wonder if they are worth something?)
"I am no rock expert, but maybe this place has the potential of being a future mine!"
(Looking around, and still nothing but these rocks! Uh, maybe it is time to return?)
But then, I was troubled as I turned back.
(Fuck! I don't know the right direction for the hive from here!)
"Should I follow the path to the lake or try to follow a direct one to the hive?" I tried to decide.
"No! I cannot risk it, it's better to have a longer path rather than a chance of getting lost forever!" With the decision made, I picked the safest choice.
Since I took the long way, I was sure it was not long before sunrise was soon to happen as I finally returned to the hill.
There, Leonidas stood on guard duty, he waved at me as I reached the entrance.
"Caesar went to sleep?" I inquired Leonidas.
"Y-Yes Great DK! A long while ago and I am sure everyone will wake up soon." Leonidas politely answered.
"My apologies, but it is getting late, I must rest!" I told him as I preparing to dig in my grave.
"It, it is okay! Rest well!" (Leonidas)
(Maybe I am being rude to him, but fuck it, I already told the others what to do, besides my first skill should be done by now!)
Underground for the third time, there I was again, getting ready to check my tab skill.

Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!
