《Grand Defender》Chapter 6
Advertisement
I was woken up by a weak drizzle, the skies had turned gray with distant patches of blue.
My “bed” had gotten slippery and dark as the water passed through its almost invisible pores.
My hair was wet and I stank of sweat, the nearby bones of my past meal were gathering flies, which looked like a dark cloud because of their numbers. It really was impressive.
With a new outlook on life, I jumped down from the boulder and scared away the flies.
I gathered the smelly yellowish bones and threw them near some trees, the flies gathering again soon after.
Today is the day I get some clothes.
I grabbed my [Stone Spear] and marched towards the nearby plains in search of grass or some other material that would make for a good piece of “cloth”.
And it was a good idea.
The plains that I saw earlier were filled to the brim with grass that easily reached 4 meters in height.
After cutting down several tufts of grass with my [Stone Knife], I returned to what started to feel like my new home, the boulder.
The rain had gone away, the sky returning to its usual blue. I lit a fire easier than ever, and placed the grass near it to dry.
Some time had passed since I went out fishing, maybe forty minutes.
Returning to find some dried grass ready for weaving, I placed my freshly caught fish in the flat stone and gutted them, then placed them in skewers on top of the fire.

“[Sixth Sense]”

[Sixth Sense]
Tier I
Allows for a new sense.
After choosing my Class Perk, I grabbed a long grass blade and split it horizontally in two.
The resulting strands were about 2m in length and 5cm thick, I then split these vertically with ease.
I repeated this process another 4 times and weaved the results into a simple rope.
[Survival Skills] really is useful.
Then, I cut even more grass and weaved it into a flat cloth, which I attached to the rope to make a grass skirt.
The resulting piece of clothing was a little itchy and uncomfortable, but I would get used to it.
It’s better than nothing.
The rest of the grass I gathered had completely dried up, and was now beige in color.
Now being hay, I figured that I could eventually use it as a bed or roof if I got more of it.
Remembering those videos of Indian guys building stuff in a forest, it probably wasn’t that hard to build a house from scratch.
I quickly ate my fish and stood up, grabbed my [Stone Knife] and went for more grass.
Time to make a house! … or something that resembles a house.

Of Men and Dragons, Book 1
Book 1 is now available on Kindle, or in paperback/hardcover! You can buy it here! Jack crash-landed on a planet where the natives are seven-foot-tall carnivorous cat-lizards currently somewhere between stone and bronze age. The good news is the natives think the ship that crashed into their mountain is a dragon and are steering clear of it. The bad news is they just left one of their own as a sacrifice to appease the beast. No matter what Jack and his AI co-pilot decide, his life just got a lot more complicated... ATTENTION: This is soft sci-fi rather than hard sci-fi, hence why I chose that tag. For those of you unfamiliar with the distinction, here's what Wikipedia had to say. 1. It explores the "soft" sciences, and especially the social sciences (for example, anthropology, sociology, or psychology), rather than engineering or the "hard" sciences (for example, physics, astronomy, or chemistry). 2. It is not scientifically accurate or plausible; the opposite of hard science fiction. Soft science fiction of either type is often more concerned with character and speculative societies, rather than speculative science or engineering. The term first appeared in the late 1970s and is attributed to Australian literary scholar Peter Nicholls.

The Wu Clan's Rise: Legends of the twin dragons
The Immortal Domain is a vast cosmos consisting of the Upper Realm and the Lower Realms, both of which are controlled by the Three Great Families, the Wang family, the Lui family, and the Xue family. Each one of them holds an immense amount of power that could overturn the heavens, reverse yin and yang and change the fate of anyone or anything in the Immortal Domain as they see fit. But, with all of that being said, our story doesn't start from those ancient overpowered families in the Upper Realm, it starts from one of the countless fragmented Lower Realms, called the Wither Daemon Realm, in which there was a planet named Daiyu. On this planet, heavenly prodigies that were born with one of the thirty, rare Legendary Physiques were starting to pop up like common weeds. Longwei, born into the Wu Clan while in possession of the third rank Legendary Physique, was known as one of the six monster-level geniuses on planet Daiyu. His brother Longmin on the other hand, though was a genius in his own right, had faded into obscurity since his birth and was shunned by his own father after a certain ‘incident’. This story is the supposed legends of two dragons, who, through a journey of bloodshed and betrayal led their clan to unify the Immortal Domain and stand above trillions as the highest existence. ******* If you lovely readers can't be bothered to use your eyes, you can join my Patreon and get to stream my audio chapters like everyone else. https://www.patreon.com/TSETH Discord: https://discord.gg/tEdkhmrj5g
