I really miss the first male Exenophage series >.
******************************
In the darkness
Sometime later....
Sleepy... I'm so sleepy.... Yet I must... Get up.... for.... work, sigh*
Wait... I'm not working, but... I... Still have to get up.... €£¥%! Well at least I don't have work to do.... But what kind of work am I thinking about? Ow!!! What the hell!! Ouch!!! What in blue blazes... Argh!!!... is going on.
(The wall of darkness thins a bit...)
(A bunch of short figures filled with light were moving in a weird fashion... While tall figure of light stood in the background. Following the motion...Realization)
Some damned turds are fricken....HITTING ME!!!!!!!!
(Rage)
(Darkness expands)
(Tentacle hands form and quickly grabs one of the small figures of light)
(The figure was crushed and the light faded quickly into non-existence)
[..............................]
Holy shit!!!
Ralph!!!!! Nooooo!!!!
(Crunch* Splat*]
Run!!!!!
[...........................]
Well at least they're gone... And since I can move? I should probably relocate before I go to sleep... I'm starting to miss those streaks of light.
Nah. I lied. I hate that kind of light with a bloody vengeance.... Time to go.
Wait where do I go? Probably up? But where's up? Oh right! I move the tenta hand in all directions until it hits something that had the most resistance!! Brilliant! ^.^
(Tenta hand flails around, lots of stuff is crushed or obliterated into dust and fragments. Until it finally thumps into the ground and goes about 2 or 3 feet down before stopping)
Ok I found the ground... I should check to make sure...
(Darkness spreads out in a very small areas allowing a dim light in...)
I can see... Great... ^.^
At least it isn't that bright...
(Noticing the hand was embedded into the floor he... Started to move around)

Where the fuck is the exit?! This place is a total mess, lame....
(Looks towards the ground..)
So the ground is glowing.... Weird....
(Looks up...)
Ceiling is as dark as the darkness... I'm starting to like this world ^.^
I bet if I take the darkness in I can open an exit?... Shouldn't take long.
(Hand rises up from the ground and touches the ceiling.... A ripple effect occurs on it and then a swirling reverse whirlpool flowed into the hand... After 10 seconds a bright light shown through)
Fuck!! I shoulda known... >,
(Darkness closes hole and remains thin)
It would've been the most awesome world ever if the sky was as black as the darkness... But life ain't fair...
I guess I should get going since I probably made it easier to find me...
(Hand reaches upward and beyond the hole, then reaches out a bit and grabs hold. As soon as hand begins to pull the main body up, the hand pulls the dark stuff down instead)
I guess I'm not as brilliant as I thought I was....
Now that I think about it...
I'm kinda glad that I'm not brilliant... I wonder why?
Well I'll have plenty of time to think about it as soon as I find a place to hide... But first I should get out...
The solution for this kind of problem is probably the fact I don't have enough hands...
(7 more hands spawn out of the darkness and attempt to pull themselves out through the gap... More of the dirt falls and is absorbed.... Then 19 more hands come out and continue to pull and collect more dirt....)
You'd think that I'd be out of this place by now... Maybe I'm to heavy for my little hands?
Then I probably need...to....

(All 27 hands whip around and spirals together before fusing into one big hand. That extends out even farther than before and embeds itself deep into the ground...)
If this doesn't work I don't know what to do...
(The big hands arm begins to shorten and then the dirt gives way once more)
Fuck!!!! How am I still on the surface if I weigh to much to pull myself up???
(Just then the light below him fades... And then he begins to sink downwards...)
I guess that's it for me... I'm not ever gonna see anything else.... For a while... Might as well sleep...
(The big hand releases its hold and quickly recedes into the ground following after the main body that continues to sink into the ground as though it was lead in water....)
Zzzzzz...Zzzzzzzz....
[...........................]
Somewhere deep down....
(Rumbling)
Gyeeeek?* What the hell?
I better get away fast or I'll get crushed by another cave in again. (Shudders)
(Small dark figure with a bean shaped head flees the area... Just in time to as the cave begins to fall in on itself)
Creeeeeeeeeee* hooooollllyyyyy Shiiiiiiiiiiioooot!!!!!!!!!!!
(Fleeing speed turns into full on sprinting as more of the cave falls in...)
(After sprinting non-stop for what felt like forever the little figure jumps out of the cave into an old mining shaft... The collapsing stops almost magically due to the old support beams that hold the shaft open...)
Gyaaa*.... Haaa*...haaaa*....
Finally safe... (Deep breaths)
(Small figure collapses on ground)
***********************************
And I'm done for today... I used like um... 3 and a half or so hours to write this...now I'm tired >.
I still have a class to go to in like 2 hours sooooo I'm gonna get some sleep... Probably near the baseball field as there practice won't start until sometime after lunch... (Plus my thumb is numb from all this typing)

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)
