《Machinarium》Chapter 8: [Leveling up]
Advertisement
"Anyways, If we are to survive out here we will need to get stronger."
"Maybe, But im not going to kill things!" Bula said
"Ugh, Fine. Just stay here then."
"Fine. Maybe I WILL stay here!" Bula replied.
I roll back outside of my cave with alpha following, And I hear squeaking sounds.
"Huh? What is that?"
[It sounds like something that is living]
"I know that retard."
'Slow, Alpha. We don't want to alarm whatever that is.'
Alpha slows down and crouches to reduce chances of being found.
I slowly roll past the bush and i see a few hundred rabbits jumping around and feeding on the grass. One of the rabbits has giant sharp teeth and is feeding on another rabbit.
"What the fuck is that. Why is there a rabbit eating another rabbit?!"
[Its called survival of the fittest. Plus, this isn't your last world. Things arent "normal"]
'Alpha, sneak up to the cannibal rabbit and kill it'
Alpha begins to sneak through the bushes and gets up behind the cannibal rabbit. His sword extends and he stabs his sword into the cannibal rabbit, tearing open its skin and blood
flying everywhere. It shakes and twitches as it finally dies.
'Jesus, Did it have to be THAT brutal?'
'Anyways, Alpha, pick the rabbit up and let's go back home'
Alpha retracts his blade and grabs the rabbit by its ears.
'Hm, I'm going to have to add a basket to him sometime soon. This is too inefficient.'
We exit the bushes and begin to head back home.
'Hm, what should i do with this rabbit thing?'
[You can fuse items to your constructs using the upgrade menu. Doing so allows you to give your constructs magic or other useful items.]

The sun begins to shine in between the leaves as we finally make it back home.
'Alpha, Put the rabbit down.'
Alpha puts the rabbit's corpse down slowly, as not to damage it.
Bula walks up to the cannibal rabbit's corpse and says "Wait, Isn't this a killer rabbit? How did YOU kill it? Not even 3 orcs can kill it!"
"Well, as I said, I and my constructs are not organic. As such, I can fit many things inside of them. One of those things is this sword."
I queue alpha to extend his blade
"Wait, Where did that come from?" Bula says amazed
"It literally came from him. That's how he killed it."

Jordan Leoren – A Tale From The Wizarding World
Jordan Leoren is, unfortunately, not your average 10-year-old boy. He is handsome, from a rich family, and has been a very popular child model and actor since the age of 4. His long golden locks and piercing blue eyes could be easily identified by anyone in England and many across the world...and he hates it. He doesn't want the fame and attention, nor does he want jealous looks from other boys when the girls swarm him. All he wants from life is to explore and discover the unknown. From artifacts and treasures located deep in dungeons to strange glyphs or languages found covering ancient ruins. He longs for adventure and to be free of his constricting schedule. If it wasn't for his parent's proud smiles and expectant eyes, he would have long ago quit and lived normally. He lives a kilometer or so from the small village of Godric's Hollow in his family's manor. This manor has been in his family for generations and they are considered one of the founders of the village. This, and the small-town vibe, basically ensure Jordan cannot go anywhere in the village without being immediately noticed and called for pictures, autographs, or asked to meet people's sons or daughters. Jordan's saving grace is the huge plot of land that his family owns around their manor, and it is his one source of adventure and escape. It is in this large expanse of rolling hills, lush and verdant forests, and rocky crags that he finds a secret. A secret found just days before his 11th birthday. A secret that truly starts his life. No more dreaming of adventure, it is time for him to experience it and discover the mysteries of a strange new world and his family's legacy. The legend of Jordan Godric Leoren is about to begin. Author's Note: Just a bit of fun from an amateur. This is my first attempt at writing and I have no planned release schedule. I am just doing this for my own amusement, but I hope that others enjoy and I would appreciate any and all feedback! ~~~ I do not own anything from this property. Harry Potter is (TM) and (C) J.K. Rowling. This is just a fandom piece and I make no claims to it whatsoever. ~~~ Image purchased through Etsy from PotterFinds.

Magikind
Disclaimer: This is a low-fantasy, soft-sci-fi genre. In fact, it's a variety of genres, so don't be too put off by the tags Through several centuries of selective breeding, these beings, known as mages, have become part of the very foundations of society. However, some humans refused to change or adapt along with them. They believed in purity and refused to interbreed with magikind. Known as the manush, they were a rarity among society. Now, in the fifth millennia, the manush are thought to be extinct. With magikind ruling the world, a three-way war grips society between Eurasia, Afro-Australian Alliance and The Americas. In these uncertain times, a manush called Gin enters the Eurasian army. From there, our journey unfolds. A story of how mankind could realistically evolve while still pushing boundaries. PS.
