《The Novel's Unifier》Chapter 17 - Food (1)

"What do you have there?" Arthur asked, as he spun around.
Danny did remember ordering something, but he though there was no way it was already here.
"Boxes," he replied, as Arthur huffed. Before opening them, he got a knife from the kitchen. He may have been able to open it with just his strength, but that seemed strangely barbaric to him.
He cut the tape on the smaller one, that lay on top of the bigger one. Inside the box was a dark, pitch black space that he couldn't see the bottom of.
Still, he carefully reached his hand through, feeling something.
He grabbed it, pulling it out of the box, only to find... another box.
'The mystery intensifies,' he thought to himself, as he opened the box.
Turns out, it was the earrings he had bought the day prior. It had many intricate carvings along the box, with swirls, lines, flowers, and waves, intertwining perfectly. But the earrings, despite seeming completely normal, had something that made him like it more.
It was much more simple, with a purple hue. It was shaped like a tear drop, hanging by a chain connected to a magnetic clasp.
"You got a girlfriend, or something?" Arthur teased, giggling to himself. Danny ignored him.
He clasped it onto his earlobe, feeling a tingling sensation through his body.
He couldn't check the Item's description, since he didn't have a Gift related to observing, but he had a Status.
A Status was only visible to someone who had reached a state of Enlightenment. No one really knew why it happened.
Anyway, he pulled out his phone, as Arthur grumbled in his chair. He glossed over his Status, seeing the changes he expected.

Danny stared at his Status, wondering if there was an error. Wasn't it meant to be C-?
He glanced at Arthur, who had healed him past his poisoned state. "Hey, Arthur," he called. Arthur perked up.
"Yes, little duckling lost on a path he knows nothing about?" he responded. Danny still found this to be weird, but didn't call it out.
"What Rank can you detoxify poison, with that remedy?" he asked, turning his head away from Arthur.
Arthur seemed to ponder his question, but excitedly answered anyway. "Around C- Rank, if you're lucky. Like you were."
Somehow, Danny saw Arthur playing a game that was definitely different from his previous game.
Danny focused onto the other box now. He opened it.
Just like before, he reached in, pulling something out. It was a body, one that was not human. It was a Monster, in the shape of an Armadillo, though much bigger. Its shell was a bright blue, almost like the sky. There was a small gap, which he fumbled around with.
He lifted it up, finding wings underneath. A shiver was sent through his body.
He moved to the kitchen, bringing the dead Armadillo-like creature with him. He plopped it onto a pan, turning the heat up. It would cook slowly.
Until it cooked, he was worried about how to get rid of the shell.

He searched it up, finding inconclusive words and advice that seemed wrong to him.
Even until it was fully cooked, he couldn't find a way to properly deshell the animal.
He just decided to cut through the underside, which was rather easy. Then, he peeled the shell off, still attached with some skin.
He didn't have to worry about blood, as it should have been drained by the person who caught it. Monster blood was a precious material, after all.
He waited for the Monster to cool down by watching Arthur play his game. It was basically the same as his previous, yet very different in art and characters.
But, there was one opponent who seemed to be targeting him. In addition, he also seemed quite good at the game.
"What did you do?" Danny asked, leaning on the chair. Arthur had died, for the fifth time, against the same person: .
"I don't know," Arthur cried, after he finished yelling at the screen. "I even switched games to avoid him."
Then, in the chat box, a message appeared:
Arthur screamed in rage, as he almost punched the screen. Luckily, Danny held him back, as he struggled to move.
Still, he could have escaped. But Danny let him go, after feeling he was calm enough, to check on his food.
It looked disgusting, as the insides were no longer inside. Instead, they were filtering out of the hole he cut earlier. But, it did seem cold enough to eat, so he ate a little bit of it.
There wasn't a notification, so he kept eating. And eating.
He ate it all. He was still hungry, as he started prepping his other Monster.
This one, he knew off the back of his hand.
It was one of the more common Monsters, a Horned Rabbit. As they were Rabbits, they were everywhere. They were normally left alone, since they were harmless. But, their numbers were dwindled a couple times a year, in order to stop them from reproducing too much.
Thankfully, he knew how to cook Rabbit. Although, scraping out the insides was still disgusting.

Guerdon
The sheer vastness of the planes of reality meant that if a combination of laws is stable enough, then it probably exists. The protagonist encounters one such stranger than fiction world that he has a hard time wrapping his head around. He is left alone in an Alien Reality. To him survival isn't the most important after all that he had been through, but he refuses defeat in his pursuit to understand the strange reality he finds himself in. Join this journey of his new story in finding out the answers and secrets of this world. I like this Genre to put it bluntly but I've always found that illogical 'Science' and flawed laws of the world, typical in these stories. So, I've decided to fix that. I have tried my best to make weirdness make sense in this World filled with Magic. Short of simulating them to verify, the laws of this new world should make some reasonable sense and will be consistent (As much as I humanely can keep it that way). This might mean my story might vary in it's progression speed but as a compensation, I promise to have a lot more sensible Cliffhangers if I must put them in. Also, I'm not a big fan of over using vocabulary when telling a story. So, My Language will be very unsophisticated. Hope that's not a putoff. So, Enjoy your reading!

Chasing Darkness
Lilith's first time parachuting at night was a disaster. Fictional Gods clashed before her eyes. Caught in the crossfire, Lilith traveled through Space and Time. Her reality was turned into her favorite childhood game, Pokemon. The beginning of journey shrouded in the Dark. A Pursuit of something Greater. *** Author Notes: As a writer, I enjoy the 'How' and 'Why' thing happen in a story over 'What' happens. This will not, however, diminish plot points in the story. Each Arc will be well thought out. This Fanfic explores what it would be like in a reality where Pokemon exist. Most other Fanfics are based on game or anime logic. I will be taking the point of view of a Progression Fantasy. I will try to update every Weekday at Noon Central. P.S. I do this for fun. As I am an amateur writer, I expect complaints and criticism. Anything other than constructive will be ignored. Well thought out Reviews, please. *I Do NOT own Pokemon in any way, shape or form. *I created the Cover in all its pixilated glory.
