《The horseman, death》Chapter 10
Advertisement
Okaaay so where should I start? I know let's say I fucked up. Currently i'm sitting in front of a pile of dust that was once cristal. Next to me was a large white horse with glowing silver eyes and bone-like armor on it's flesh. But the bones were in places that wouldn't inconvenience it. Now how should I start?
Let's go back to after leaving the horse. We ran for a while until sometime in the middle of the night cristal spoke up.
Cristal: Hey death, can we stop?
Me: Huh? Why? Were making such great time.
Cristal: Well i'm getting sleepy and I can't sleep hopping up and down on your back.
I thought about it a little weighing the pros and cons and came to a conclusion.
Me: Fine but were leaving early in the morning.
Cristal: That's good enough.
I found a spot in the forest that allows one to make a fire without the trees nearby to catch fire. I set cristal down and went out to hunt for food. Thanks to my ability to see souls I quickly found what looked like a deer and killed it with a orb. I thought about using the sword but the edible parts might dissolve before I get back to camp. I then harvested the edible parts with a knife, courtesy of dead bandits, and placed them in a bag and returned. When I got back cristal was already asleep. I figured I shouldn't wake her so I quickly cooked the meat and ate it leaving none for her. I then got up and went a few kilometers away to practice my magic. I took off the cloak and immediately the trees died around me. Though I almost immediately pulled in the area of effect.
After all I did more than just run this past week. I've been practicing my magic when cristal goes to sleep. The tiny orb project was kind of fighting me so I switched to the area effect around me. It took me a couple of days but I was able to reel in the magic that was leaving my body and keep it inside. The problem though now with this is I still need to be conscious of doing it. Which means I can't run, look at possible dangers ahead, focus on the tugging feeling on my chest while also listening to cristals lecture's to learn more about this world and keep my magic from leaking out.

Anyway I am currently working on the tiny orb project and something miraculous happened. I split a orb in 2. Now you may wonder how this is so great or why don't I just take a orb and shrink it. Well first off i don't know how to shrink one and I don't know what would happen if I fail. For all I know a explosion the size of a hydrogen bomb could go off. I really don't want that. So I figured split a orb in half then just keep splitting it until it's the size of a fly would be much safer.
However splitting one orb was very difficult and only now did I successfully do it. Anyway after this accomplishment I headed back to camp. But a little surprise was waiting for me. It was the little white horse we helped. I spaced out a little at seeing the little guy then I immediately began to wonder how he found us so easily and quickly. Only a slight grumbling sound brought me back to attention and I found the sound originated from the horse's stomach. Thinking it was hungry I grabbed the last apple we had and held it out in front of him.
But instead of eating the apple he took a small bite out of the side of my hand. I immediately jumped back and prepared to kill this thing when something unexpected happened. A dirty gray like light shot out of the horse immediately surrounding it. I had to shield my eyes from the sudden brightness. Then after a few seconds the light died down and standing where the little horse which was no older than a few years was a fully matured adult horse that had some serious muscle and bone armor on. However the most significant change was the air surrounding it.

It was heavy and menacing. It screamed DON'T FUCK WITH THIS ANIMAL. Cristal awoke because of this pressure and when she saw the horse she screamed and shot a beam out of probably reflex. However when the beam connected with the horse it looked pissed beyond reason and looked at her. It's eye's glowed and next thing I know cristal is aging rapidly. First a young adult, than 50 year old lady, than a elderly, then a corpse, then a skeleton, and finally dust.
I was analyzing the situation. There was the possible apocalypse, the hit marks in the book, plague, and finally this horse and the future. I began thinking I could continue towards plague but then what? My guide is dead and I doubt plague knows where places are in this world. At least not yet. It could take month's to get to General Lance Bearshriek and it would be to late. There was the chance plague found a town. But the chance she destroyed it was higher. The other 2 were an option but war is probably fighting and hunger is probably indulging his desires.
The horse seemed to calm down and was looking at me. It showed none of the hostility it had earlier so I had some breathing room.
Me: Guess this is the only option.
I took out the book of death and wrote

Don't Come Inside, Okay?
Lars Cromwell just got dumped by his girlfriend of 3 months, apparently because she found someone better. Although the normal man would have been bummed out by this, Lars didn't particularly mind. Because Lars just won the lottery, which meant he was about a billion dollars richer now. And he had one less person to share it with! Even if he was single, at least he was filthy stinking rich! In any case, this is Lars' story. A story that begins just like how many others do. With his death. Join Lars as he reincarnates into another world as his Avatar together with his favorite game's Dungeon and it's NPCs! = This Work is on an indefinite Hiatus. I do not know when I'll get back to this, but I plan to rewrite a bunch of stuff when I do. If you liked this, keep following it so that I can inform you of when I improve this! = Hello, I'm Lire, and this is my 2nd fiction. I recently got into the whole dungeon thing, and thought that I wanted to write one of my own! Chapter Length: 2000+ Words. It can only be more, never less. Chapter Release Schedule: Whenever I can write. I am juggling this with my main Fiction, so yeah... Disclaimer: - Don't expect much statistical growth from the MC. Although I plan for him to refine his techniques and increase his repertoire. - You can guess from the name, but there will not be too much action in the dungeon itself. Plus, the dungeon has been fully built, so not too many things will be added either. The whole idea is to kill potential intruders before they enter the Dungeon. - This will be more like a Kingdom building story, than a Dungeon Building one. MC will try to dominate his surroundings so that he can keep his Dungeon safe. - There will be Slice of life elements, since realistically speaking, events aren't supposed to happen all the time. - This work is inspired, to a certain extent, by Murayama-sama's Overlord Light novel. Minus the 'emotionless' undead MC, and the premise of misunderstandings. The NPCs will also be aware that they were characters in a game, that came to life for some reason, so no need for MC to role-play to pull the wool over the eyes of his own allies. Also, unlike Overlord, there is a chance for the cast of characters to increase through a built-in gacha system(This is not a spoiler, this will literally be explained in the first few chapters.), except that the rates are absolutely abysmal, so it won't happen frequently. Maybe I'll use a poll to decide the next ally? We'll see.
