《Grand Defender》Chapter 5
Advertisement
I made my way back to the boulder with the [Alpha]’s corpse in tow.
The other ones were left in the forest because I couldn’t carry them all.
Leaving the corpse aside, I started lighting up a fire for the third time.
It took me a good 10 minutes before it started burning, which was an improvement to my almost nonexistent survival skills.
The only things that kept me alive right now were [Spearman] and [Mason], without them I wouldn't have been able to catch the fish or fight the iguanas.
Grabbing a new stone, I placed it in the flat stone I had used to make my [Stone Spear Head].
I quickly chipped it into a knife shape thanks to [Mason], and altered its edge with [Geomancer].
Congratulations! You have crafted a [Stone Knife].
A makeshift tool and weapon created by [Sanjo].
Tier I
Attack+5
Great as a tool, but a mediocre weapon.
Trying to skin the [Alpha] with my new [Stone Knife], I quickly realized I didn’t know how to.
Giving up, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath before breaking down.
I’m tired. I don’t want this.
Why? Why am I here? I didn’t choose this.
“Defender of the Lands” my ass.
The only things I have done since coming here have been killing the wildlife.
And why am I the one to “defend” them? What do I have to defend them from?
I want to go back.
I want a bed.
I want real food.
My hands hurt, my feet hurt, my back hurts, everything hurts.
And to top it all off, I’m naked.
I want clothes, I want buggspray…
Conditions met! New Class available!
[Wimp] Special Class
Tier 1
Everything bothers you!
You want to cry, and you do!
…
Seriously?
Is this how the System tells me to “man-up”?

“Discard it!”
[Wimp] has been discarded.
Encouraged and angry, I grabbed my [Stone Knife] and started skinning the damn reptile.
I ended up doing a terrible job, but I got a good meal out of it. The iguana tasted a lot like chicken, but it was bland and boring because I had no spices.
Really, I need to get some of those.
A new System notification popped up as I burped.
Conditions met! New Classes available!
[Hunter] Utility Class
Tier I

“[Hunter]”
Congratulations! You have chosen the [Hunter] Class.
[Hunter] Utility Class
Tier I
Allows knowledge about animals and their habitats. Also gives you [Survival Skills] Personal Perk.
All Stats+5
Shouldn’t that be a Class Perk?
Whatever, this place makes no sense either way.
You have earned a Personal Perk!
[Survival Skills]
Tier I
Gives you “tips” when doing things related to [Hunter].
Suddenly, I vaguely knew what I did wrong when skinning the [Alpha].
I also knew how to start a fire faster and more efficiently.
[Survival Skills] might prove really useful both now and in the future.
I silently ate the bland meat for dinner after thinking about my situation for hours.
After a while, I came to accept it.
Did I want this? No.
Do I like it? No.
Can I go back? No.
Can I live with it without being a bitch about it? … Maybe.
It is frustrating, but this is my life now.
All of the commodities I was used to were now gone, and I would probably never see them again.
I’ll miss my bed as much as I’ll miss my friends and family.
Killing stuff was gross, too. Blood and innards got everywhere.
But these were all things that I would have to get used to.

And so, after washing my hands and face at the river, I climbed the now familiar boulder and went to sleep.

How the Stars Turned Red
Announcement as of 05 July 2022: I've been diagnosed with some pretty severe nerve damage in my left arm, rendering me unable to write effectively, and as such this story is on hold until it is healed. I am so sorry, and I promise to get back to writing as soon as possible. In the latter half of the 3rd millennium CE, humanity has spread across the stars, inhabiting close to five-hundred worlds across the Orion Arm. Earth has become irrelevant, a historical has-been. The galactic map is dominated by two mega-factions, both controlling vast amounts of territories either through direct control or through their many allies and treaty signatories. The Kingdom of Aurora is the political and economic hegemon despite consisting of only seven inhabited worlds; their strength lies in the Royal Union, an interstellar commonwealth composing an internal market and a common defence pact. These member worlds are myriad and varied, culturally as well as politically, but they all flock to the same banner. The Independent Systems Alliance, spearheaded by the Republic of Elysium, is the ascendant challenger to Aurora and the Union. A pseudo-federal multi-system polity, the Alliance economy and military is rapidly expanding, but at the cost of effective democratic and meritocratic involvement by its people. However, with two superpowers as this, chafing along a common border, and with a constant clamour of polemics, both sides have become convinced the other is constantly preparing for war and are on the look-out for any perceived weakness in their opponent. The predictable result is a huge arms race and a cold war spreading across the stars, requiring only a spark to set the galaxy aflame. Drawn into this game of high stakes are ordinary men and women, their peaceful lives, hopes, and aspirations swallowed by the vortex of conflict and distrust. This is their story. Cover art by Rhodex Designs (FB). Hope you like long chapters and adjectives. Note: English is not my first language. Another story set in the same universe, written by a good friend
