'Alright so I've already made a list of every species and creature of note on Eden six acc to the online forums on the eet. Acc to that list Jabbers and their subspecies as well as Saurians and their various species are the most abundant creatures on this rock. The tyrants in particur from the Saurians should have a lot of lifeford some det traits.' I thought as I stood outside the door after the old man kicked me out to fend for myself.
It was as I had e to expect humid and hot as I walked on the dry dark stoside the front of the manor towards the lift to the small "vilge" that was built with a deep chasm between it and the manor. It was mainly poputed with what only be described as hillbillies, like besides not being inbred(usually) they fit most of the other descriptors there. They were superstitious, kinda dumb ao themselves with their odd s and practices. The lift itself was just a metal ptform moved from the manor side to the vilge side by a set of turning wheels oher railing powered by what looked suspiciously to be arimine.-
The dirty folk of the vilge saw me ing but beside mild i at the topic of several rumors ing out of the manor after six months they didn't seem to care. The ramshackle wooden aal buildings that made up the vilge weren't really anything to talk about but the fact that it was built literally on top of a watery muddy s was. You could take two steps out of any building here and step into three inches of mud for fucks sake!-
'Good thing my new outfit was made for all terrain travel, including through space!' I thought with a smirk.
My new outfit was ohat I, d Hammerlock desigo be the ultimate apparel for the vast majority of biomes. The base yer was a skin tight airtight nanomaterial regeing esh that covered every part of my body except my hands and head. If I added a helmet and gloves I could go directly into the cold vacuum of space with just this yer alo wasn't very durable though so otherwise not an ideal outfit.-
I should also point out that you could see EVERYTHING when I was in just this yer, when I said skin tight I fug meant it. The yer on my lower half fixed this issue though as it was a sleek armored pair of leather pants and Grogskin boots. For my torso I had a opeed long sleeved syic armor threaded bck duster coat that had the word JAKOBS printed on the ba big bold taers, It had pockets too! The coat also had heating pads on the inside for cold climates. -
My favorite part of the outfit though was the facemask that was desigo filter the air I breath as well as give me a heads up dispy courtesy of the lenses of the eyes eg to my echo. The mask itself looked like a snarling Prowler or Lion with my thick dark hair spiked up behind it like a mane. Admittedly the design of the mask was Hammerlocks idea but to be fair he had a REALLY ving argument.
"If you are to bee the ultimate predator the least you do is look the part!" he had said and gods was he right.
I looked like I meant business with my gun on my right hip and my shield on my left in this outfit.
'Oh? A quest?' I thought surprised when I saw the big yellow excmation mark above one of the vilgers head.
Quests were a fasating subject about the universe I was in as they were more or less job requests that anyone could issue or take. It ointed out by that yellow mark and created via the echo HUD with your objective being marked clearly in the right side of your vision and the echo even highlighted the objective items for you, it was all very video game like and user friendly.-
That wasn't a fug ce either as the dude who made the echo's was a video game enthusiast and wao make reality mame like. It was a weirdly effective system too as those big bright yellow excmation points drew the eye and triggered a sort of impulse to iigate them. Anyways I walked up to the shirtless big bellied dude pig his hat had the quest.
"Whateed?" I asked curiously and more than a little excited to do my first quest.
"Huh? ht, well some grogs doole all ma shine! I want ya to get it bad kill those wasted Grogs while yer at it!" he said and I got the quest automatically added to my HUD as well as an area of my minimap being circled to tell me where the Grogs were. I the dude and started walking through the thick brown muck towards the spot marked.
"I just thought about it and I think i'll throw in a little somethira if ya use a fire on to kill them wasted Grogs!" The dude sent over my echo after I started to get close to the area with the Grogs.
"Fuck!" I cursed since I didn't have a fire on on me, just the current cryo of my gun.
I saw the Grogs in the distand identified them easily as [Pollygrog, Wasted Grog, Wasted fire Grog]. There were three of the first, five of the sed and one of the st. They all looked more or less the same but each type was slightly different from the st. Pollygrogs were small cat sized bipedal raptor looking things with leafy lookihers on their heads and rge frog eyes that holy made the things kinda cute, sharp teeth withstanding.-
'I see why they are kept as pets, kinda cuddly in a weird reptilian way, like an iguana.' I thought right before making all three of the things explode with a bullet each.
"SSSHHHHAAAAA!" the rog types screeched and came at me but I just watched as they stumbled about drunkedly.
"That's just sad." I ented and pulled the trigger five more times exploding all of the Grogs which looked the same as the Pollygrogs except were a little bigger, medium sized dog maybe, and had hers.
Once my gun was reloaded I casually blew the head off the Fire Grog that once again looked like a normal Grog but was even bigger, person sized right about, and had red skin. My quest updated after they were all dead and the dude spoke up.
"Ah shoot, I was kinda looking forward to seein a drunk Grog running around on fire. Welp might as well grab the rot gut a back here!" the dude said sounding disappointed.
I just chuckled and moved over the the Fire grog to grab my real prize.
{Fire Grog
Lifeforce: 572

'The fuck!? This thing has horny sweat? Why does this thing have horny sweat, like what fug reason would it evolve to have that!? God you there? I have questions man!' I thought absolutely bamboozled by that first trait.
That said I was SORELY tempted to grab it simply because it might e in handy if I ever wao get id. you image how erotic it would be for a chick to lick the sweat off you and it ACTUALLY makes them more horny? Wet dream material right there. I didn't actually take it though since I wasn't unreasonably insane, just mildly. I did take that [Fire resistahough, sioo enjoy not burning to death. As for the oil and spitting gnd traits those came with some ive side effects that I wasn't okay with. I moved on to the Grogs after that and upon seeing they had weaker versions of the Fire grogs traits minus the resistarait I just took the nifty three to four hundred units of lifeforce they each had.-
Pollygrogs had only one hundred ish units ead again raits. I was a bit disappointed in the haul this time but not every trait was going to be a winner. Grabbing the bottles of booze strewn about the Grog I checked for anything else but seeing as there wasn't anything of note I headed back to the due that gave me the quest.
"Shame ya couldn't set them Grogs on fire but ya got ma shine back so I'll say that's good enough. Here's ya pay." The dude said and a gun got transferred to my iory.
[Name: Jar227 pyro
Level: Unon
Type: Assault rifle
Damage type: PyroX1
Manufacturer: Jakobs
Affix: N/A]
I couldn't help but feel my eyebrow that had grown ba the st six months, twitch. I took a deep breath a it go since I doubted it was iional. For those w why I didn't just use the fire on I got from the vault the answer was I could only use one or two ons at a time. This wasn't a video game as much as it seemed like it sometimes and that meant I couldn't reasonably carry a small armory of ons on my person at all times.-
Digistrug the guns in my iory to my hand also wasn't a fast process and took a few seds to do. This meant that uhe ons were quite small I could only have maybe two holstered o a time one of which was always going to be my gun. I was being picky to simplify. I wanted my sed on to be really damn good just like my first, so no fire on at the moment.-
Anywho after taking care of that quest I simply left the vilge and followed the dirt road. It didn't take long doing so for me to find some more prey. [Ravager, Slinger] were the names of these ype of Saurians. Ravagers were effectively velociraptors but mly and Slingers were basically Ravagers but with hard spikes growing out of their long ft tails that they as the name implied slung at you. It took two shots for both species of which there were an even split of two each. I was mostly pleased with the traits though.-
{Ravager
Lifeforce: 792-821
Traits:[Aphrodisiacal sweat-Rare grade]- 5000 units, [Predator muscles-on grade]- 500 units, [Tough skin-on grade]- 500 units, [Poor smell-Trash grade]-50 units, [Stroh-on grade]-500 units}
{Slinger
Lifeforce: 801-857
Traits:[Aphrodisiacal sweat-Rare grade]- 5000 units, [Predator muscles-on grade]-500 units, [Tough skin-on grade]-500 units, [Poor smell-Trash grade]-50 units, [Stroh-on grade]-500 units, [Beion-Unon grade]-1000 units, [Projectile growths-Unon grade]-1000 units}
I took all four sets of [Predatory muscles], [Tough skin] and [Stroh] as well as both sets of [Beion] for a total of 8000 units of lifeforce spent. That left me at 1447 units of lifeforce but it was a good trade as once all these traits were fused and ied I'd get a sharp increase in my physical stats.
[Beion] however was a trait I took for a single reason, self healing. While in the Slingers it was used to rapidly regrow their projectile spikes that were made of bone in my case it meant broken bones weren't a fug problem any more as my bones healed themselves back perfectly in no time ft.
