3 A cruel fate 2
At first, only silence filled my mind. But after several tries to lift my heavy eyelids. I witnessed a man fighting a wild sabertooth tiger. The man was armed with a sharpened bone. He was trying to keep the tiger distanced by thrusting the bone forward from time to time. The tigers surface was ridden with scars and it had many bloody wounds on his fur. Despite the various injuries, the eyes were still locked onto his prey. The vicious predator was looking fiercely for an opening, to tear the man apart.
The man, on the other hand, was on death's door. Blood was oozing out of many places on his body, the animal hide he was wearing was torn to shreds. His body was covered in bite marks, some even left him with a clear view of his bones. Adrenaline was the only thing that keeping him alive at this point. Suddenly the man stormed forward launching the bone forward. At the same time, the tiger made its move ran at the man to maul him.
The bone pierced into the eye of the tiger, while the teeth sank into the shoulders of the man. Both issued a pained cry but none was willing to give up. The man used the bone as a leverage to get on top of the tiger. His right arm was left behind as a sacrifice.
What started as a hunt for the tiger now became a grim fight for its survival. With bloodshot eyes, the tiger was trying to throw the man off of his back. The man who was holding on for his dear life was thrown off but he managed to grab onto the bone and take it with him.
The tiger was furious, seemingly struggling with the thought of laying down his life to a measly human. The predators' honor was at stake and it was not very content with how the current situation played out.
The tiger was looking at the man and a deep growl left its throat. Getting ready to pounce on the man, it stared at the man trying to anticipate what the man is about to do. But the man did not move anymore.
The tiger waiting for any kind of reaction of his prey. The minutes passed but there was no movement. The tiger closed in and came closer and closer while being cautious of every little action. But nothing happened and the tiger looked proud at its meal. Just as the tiger wanted to take a bite the man moved and launched the bone aiming at the throat. Trying to back off, the bone still embedded itself into its target and a gurgling sound could be heard.
A feeling of doom came over the tiger and it lost any kind of reason and just wanted to make a mess out of that filthy human being. Running into the human while continuously trying to bite. The human tried to hold the tiger off by pushing against the bone with every fiber of his being hoping for a miracle.
Just as he could feel the tigers breath on his scalp, he has a wondrous feeling and his left hand was shrouded in a light flame. The human decided to punch at the wounded eye of the tiger. The tiger howled in pain but still kept on pushing on. Feeling the impact of this flame the man kept on punching on the tiger. Over and over until there was no feeling of breathing coming to him and the tiger collapsed onto him. The fight for survival came to an end the prey overcame the assault of the predator.
Suddenly a loud voice could be heard: "This is the story of our glorious Ancestor. He was the first person to use the power given by God. This was the beginning to our future conquest of this planet. This planet was called Tyrannis, because of all blood that has been spilled on our way to the top of the food chain.
"To honor the story and relieve the Golden Ages of the thrill of survival we made a game that reenacts the nature at that time. Fight to your heart's content, struggle and once again become the dominant species. For we are God's chosen Children.
Suddenly the image switched and the voice continued." Thanks for the watching our latest trailer that will be used to advertise our game. Now I welcome you to our current beta testing phase. I am the administrative system, that will be your guide and help for every question that might come up. To make it easier for you we from Casum Entertainment created a little survival guide with rules to maximize your experience.
Rule Guide for dominance.
In this realistic simulation, you start as prey. Not every animal is out to feast on you, but when threatened most of them will fight you. So plan your movement carefully.
1 The iron fist.
Because our flesh is weak we rely on our connection to god to fight with the vicious creatures. Lay low and try to awake your powers as soon as you can in order to ensure your survival otherwise you will just be cannon fodder. But fret not we have created respawn points in little villages. So you can try again if you happen to die.
2 The NPCs
The action of NPCs, be it a mere human or beast, are part of the decision-making process of our newly developed advanced AI. They will seem like rational beings to you. But of course, they are still not as intelligent, as we Chosen Ones. Even though they are beneath you, try to act friendly with this peasants. They can help you out with helpful advice and share some of their food with you. NPCs are not able to respawn. So try not to murder them if they fail to recognize your superiority.
3 Realism and myths.
This created world has a highly realistic standard. We created it after we paid a steep price to use time magic to look back in time and model this world after the things we saw. This world combines the development of our holy powers and the gruel unforgiving world of the past. You will feel pain sweat and the mud under your feet. In the future, we may add mythical creatures as a DLC. But that is just an inside information for the beta testers.
