《The Monsters We Become ( dropped??)》Chapter 9: The Reason.
Advertisement
Once back in the cavern Thesa leads us over to a big fire along the wall that we just came from.
“ You now cook food. I show.” She picks up a long thin stick much like a skewer, and just impales the fish along the entire length, then sits near the fire and pokes the skewered fish in the flames. The others do the same. Once I skewer one of mine I look around, I head over to Lily.
“ Do you mind holding mine I want to grab some stuff quickly.” I ask her.
“ Ok brother.” She smiles at me.
With that I run back into the lake room I rummage around the shore and find a couple of flat rocks I rinse them off in the water then run back, it’s tiring but hey and my nut sack keeps falling out of the edges. Back at the fire I place the rock in front of the fire I grab a larger stick and push the rocks into the edge of the fire. I go and get my fish back off Lily. I sit next to her to finish cooking it.
When it’s finished I take a bit, ummm fuck yes that’s nice. Heading back to my rocks I realize I will need to grab another rock to cut the fish and snake so not to get dirt into the meat. While chomping on the fish I head back to the lake and find a third rock. I sit down near the rocks in the fire. Un-stringing the fish and snake I place them next to the rock. I then cut the snake into strips and the same with the fish. Get the stick I used to push them in, I pull them out an I place the meat on them I push the one with the snake closer to the fire right on the edge, I plan to make jerky with snake meat. Using the bone knife I flip the fish to cook the other side.
Leaving it a few minutes, the eyes of everyone else are shining and all the mouths are drooling. Flipping the fish once more to make sure, I pick one a have a taste, umm delicious.
“ Everyone, take a piece, and I mean A piece.” Every one dashes over salivating. While every one is eating I pull the snake out. It’s not perfect jerky but it will do for now, stashing most of the pieces into a pouch. I take the remainder over to Thesa.
“ Here, I saw you eyeing it up earlier.” Handing her the last of the snake.
“ UMMMM, snake *Slurp*. Sorry, to much drool.” She answers.” Thank you.” Quickly snatching up the meat she shoves half in a pouch and the other into her free flowing mouth.
“ Whhaat * chomp chomp* Zhat.” She asks around mouth full of food, while pointing to the snake skin flask.
“ OH, it’s the snake skin, I filled it with water.” I inform her.
Finishing swallowing she responds. “ Um, ok.”
Tonka stomps back over. “ Time to go back, now.” She instructs. All of our group get up an all of them look tired. As we lazily follow Tonka.
Thesa waves good bye.
Once back in the room the others go straight to bed. Using the last of the material from last night I make a quick sheath for the bone dagger tucked into my belt , I make it so it can attach to the front of the bandoleer, with the handle pointing to my shoulder. I modify my underwear making them more comfortable and fitting. Now they look like a mans G-string. It keeps every thing tucked in and unswinging.

I shift the pouches about moving one to my belt and one to the back of the bandoleer, and the rest further down the front. I do my usual stretch routine and I add some push up sets and squats sets to start building the condition of my up, despite it’s locked stats, hopefully I have a good base for my body will give a boast of stats once the cap goes.
Laying down next to Lily I start my nightly routine but telling my body to rise an hour earlier than usual.
Waking up I feel refreshed, stretching I get up.
“ URRRGGG.” Shit I woke Lily, rubbing her eyes. “ WHAT doing brother.”
I feel my self blush I turn around, damn she got a quite rack over night. Fuck, why am I embarrassed.
“ UM..UM..UM. Wait a second I’ll be back.” I tell her as I have an idea, dashing to the room I keep stealing the fabric from. I search around for what I’m looking for, aha that will work, it’s about a foot wide and about 7 foot long, it’s brilliant.
Walking back into the room. “ AHHH.” I turn around again Lily is groping her breasts.
“ Look brother I’m bigger than Tonka hehhehe.” Wow that laugh is quite lecherous.
“ UMMm AHHH, here use this wrap it around them.” I tell her.
“ Why.” She asks with a quizzical look.
“ AH..Ahh..ummmm. AH so they wont get in the way and bounce around when..when training, yes training.” Wooooh quick thinking, I’m not sure why I’m getting embarrassed about this.
I feel her taking it from me. After a minute, I ask. “ Are you done.”
“ UMmmmm…..No. I don’t know how, show me.” She pleads, her speech has improved quite a bit. She is almost better than the other goblins I’ve meet apart from the eldest goblins.
“ You’re sure???” I ask.
“ Yes.” She pleads.
“ Ok….” I turn around. I slap my head she’s tried tying the cloth around one of her boobs. “ Not like that.” I walk over and take the fabric off her
“ Like this.” I show her on myself, holding one edge in my left hand and grabbing the top in my right, I pull it behind me the pressing the edge to my side I run my hand along the top pulling it to my front. I grab the top edge with my left forefinger pressing it to edge of the fabric held against my body, and fling the rest of the fabric around my back and grab it again in my right I repeat this once more, each time making sure to tighten it then tuck the loose end under the fabric to secure it.
Even though its quite bumpy due the bandoleer it show the results. “ Like this.” I tell here. Quickly undoing it I hand her it. After a few false starts she does it.
“ I’ll make you something better later for you so it’s easier.” I state.
“ YAY, I done it and yaaay brother make me things.” She expresses, then looks at her chest and bounces up and down.
“ Hehehehe.” Looking up at me. “ You said train.” Grinning from ear to ear while making little nodding movements.
Damn she’s excited about training.
“ Ok, yes. Ummm. Right.. follow what I do a well as you can.” I instruct her.
I start my morning stretches, she keeps up relatively well only slipping a few times but I correct her footing and we carry on. Then I start with the sit and push up reps. Lily does admirably on these while not doing as many still pulls of quite a few. And finally alternating between running on the spot and burpees, to help endurance and explosive muscle power.

She gets a bit confused during the burpee, but after showing her slowly a few times she picks it up quite quickly.
Just as we finish Tonka tries to sneak in, upon seeing us she stops, I think it’s even earlier than yesterday.
Enhanced Physique Gained
Racial Trait gained Passing The Knowledge
WHAT! I’m going to hav…
“ ARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGG. STUPID STUPID FREAK FREAK FREAAAAAK, WHY YOU NOT SLEEP. STUPID FREAK GOB SHOULD BE SLEEP SO I KICK WAKE.*………..* AHHHHHHH, WHY NOT FREAK SLEEP. STUPID GREY FREAK AAHHHHHHHHHRRRRG. IT NOT RIGHT NOT NOT NOT RIGHT. SHOULD BE HURT, LEARN NOT BE FREAK.” Tonka starts ranting and stamping in circles waking the others up, they all look mystified and slightly scared. So that’s how she truly feels.
Lily on the other and is fuming and starts to take a step towards her, I think to strike her, I put a hand on arm. She looks at me and I shake my head. With a look of puzzlement. Fuck new gains and now the stupid bitch is going off on one, I’ll have to check them later. I can’t let my guard down with her like that.
“ ARRGG, follow now all!!!!” She screeches. “ Heheheheheheheehehe, he learn hehhehe yeah learn, yes yes.” She utters to her self, I’m not liking that at all.
Once in the cavern we head down a corridor along another wall, after a hundred feet or so we can start to hear grunting and slapping of flesh against flesh. That sound I know to well. We enter another cave about half the size of the cavern, it’s lit by glowing rock in the ceiling. It’s brighter than all the other rooms by a margin.
In the centre of the room is a couple of young gobs brawling. In a ring around the two are about 20 young gobs and 6 adults gobs.
The young ones are all silent watching, the older gobs are shouting randomly, all different ring side jabber, one would hear at a boxing match.
“ You gobs learn fight today. Heheheh.” Tonka chants cheerily. “ Go sit in circle.”
We all head over, the circle opens up and everyone shuffles a bit letting us all sit.
We watch a couple of more fights between different gobs a pair of the older gobs get up and spar in the ring to help show us how, not that I need that help. I smile to myself I’m going to dominate. Nothing I’ve seen so far even comes close to what I learned and was taught in my world.
My world, my thoughts turn sour and I sober up a little. Yes, I’m here for a reason though it may be far off, I need to get stronger, faster, smarter. I need to get better in every aspect. I’ll need to use my knowledge to get an edge. I look at Lily and my siblings, and make others better, stronger. Lily’s noticing that my mood has changed speaks to me.
“ Gray don’t worry, you won’t loose, you smarter than rest.” Smiling she gives me a hug. The other are looking at me and Lily.
“ Yes. Yes I am.*sigh* I’ve decided I’m going to teach you all.” I tell my brothers and sisters. “ How to fight, how to plan and how to craft. To make you stronger, superior in every way.” They’re all nodding looking eager.
“ YAY, time with brother.” All the girls chime, looking happy. And the boys to determined to become stronger. They all sneak a glance at Lily, with her having spent the most time with me they can see she is more advanced than them already. The girls then sneak a glance at her bust then their own then both are smaller than her, their glances shift to her top, then to me. Catching me watching them they blush, I can barely tell they both darken slightly in the cheeks.
“FREAK NEXT.” Tonka shouts out. As the last fight finishes. “ I fight him, to teach hehehe.”
What.
“NO. Young gobs fight young gobs to learn, not fight big gobs.” A bigger darker male gob shouts, he has a boxers face, and many scars on his body. Heh a fighter then.
“ YES I FIGHT FREAK” She shrieks. “ HE NOT RIGHT, HE THINK HE BETTER, SPEAK BETTER. MAKE THING NOT TAUGHT TO AND AND THING WE NEVER MAKE BEFORE. SO I FIGHT. KNOCK HIM DOWN. MAKE. HIM. LEARN. NOT. BETTER. JUST.FREAK.FREAK. NEED. BEATING. HE. LEARN.”
All the goblins are shocked to hear her tirade. Some are nodding in agreement with smug looks on there faces, and others with looks of confusion.
Lily has a look of shock, then stares at me when I stand, she looks scared and grabs my leg.
“ NO, you’ll get hurt.” She pleads.
Barely at an audible level just enough for her to hear. “ No I won’t, she will.”
She has a shocked look again, licks her lip, nods and lets go. “ Look after my stuff please.” I ask.
I undo my belt and shrug off the bandoleer and start to unwrap the loin cloth from around me. The other gobs are looking at me in disgust. Until it’s removed and the see my underwear. They all looked amazed and confused at the same time.
“SEE.SEE. HE FREAK FREAAAAAAAK.” Tonka shrieks again.
Walking out into the arena I stand just off centre.
Raising my hand I beckon her. I then shut of all my emotions, a emptiness overcoming my entire being. A emptiness that shows nothing, betrays nothing, as if even the dead shun me. A shiver runs through every person there, and it horrifies them without even knowing the reason, all you the young whimper and shy back from the circle, a few even piss themselves.
Tonka squeaks in surprise at the sudden change.
This.... This is one of the reasons the monsters feared me.
Even before hearing my name, knowing it's.... MY reputation.
AVATAR OF THE ABYSS.

Life, the struggle for existence
What would happen when man had to, once again, fight for its own right to live? Would the evolutionary counterparts of our ancestors manage to life through the struggle for survival? What would happen to society if a new reason for living came up, other than the enjoyment of the well-built environment? A reason that could either unite or destroy humanity.This is the struggle for their right of existence.As earth and its inhabitants are faced with the fear of unknown danger and the peril of monstrosities, some will falter, some will die and some will live on to tell the tales of those forgotten. As reality dictates, most will be part of the first two groups and only a small faction will be part of the latter. *This is my first attempt at writing fantasy, so I do hope you’ll enjoy it. The story is one of apocalyptic nature, with gigantic monsters, unfathomable powers and also a critial view on humanity and what it means to be human. I will definitely try to stay away from any tropes that are not neccesary to write fantasy, as I thoroughly despise non-creativity. There shall be no harems, no unrealistic behavior and absolutely no standard scene of dimwitted bandits that try to rob whatever similarly rock-brained princess they encounter. The main character is not black and white, because no human is completely good or completely evil. They’re human, not some idealistic concept of what one is supposed to be. Enjoy!Warning: Tagged 17+ for the occasional strong language and violence, some mild sexual content can occur in the distant future.
