If his SDI within the Apocalypse World could be called abhorrent, his SDI in reality had quickly grown to catch up. Dante was discharged from the chamber slowly once he woke up, first having the liquid looking gel drain away before the various tubes that had been plugged into him slowly removed. He was surprised because these tubes were not there when he first went under, which meant that they came later. That was probably why he had to go under, because the feeling of being pierced in so many…-

Dante rested beside the tree near the northern edge of the clearing. His weapons were kept in his arm as he closed his eyes, but focused his hearing acutely. In this deathly silent forest, apart from his own steady breathing, he could hear nothing else. Soon, there was the inevitable sound of rustling from the energy bushes as a whole group of the Weeper Rabbits rushed over while hopping excitedly, diving into the plentiful flesh available. They paid Dante no attention as they gorged themselves as…

The forest was starkly different from the nearby outpost he just came from. In the outpost, there was a lot of noise and a bustling scenario as human life in the settlement forged on, but the usually lively forest with plenty of animal sounds was deathly silent. In truth, most of the world was like this, according to what Dante had researched pre-descent. If you heard a noise in the wild, that was rather a horrifying indicator of immense danger and incoming demise. This was exactly why the…

As naps go, Dante had one that was very banal. It didn't do much to refresh him, but it also did alleviate the building stress and tension. Since he had dropped into this world, he had slept about 4 times over the course of 2 or so days. It was either he was very easily fatigued or there was a severe underestimation by the normal people about how tiring dangerous scenarios were. When he got up, he saw that the cat was asleep in its cradle, purring silently. Beside it was a few empty cans,…

If a normal human had been jumped like this, they would probably panic and react instinctively, defending their facial area from whatever was attacking. However, Dante who had almost 4 times the agility and dexterity of the average human, was not even phased. He simply reached out a hand to grad before him and captured the shadow that was leaping at him, revealing a… cat! It was a relatively small cat with a very human-like expression on its face, showing fear and shock. Its body and fur…

If the monster claimed to have a superpower of its own that was similar to the famous force scream of a certain spinning senate, Dante would believe it. The sound caused him to black for a split second as it pounced on him, and he could only hurriedly dash backward lamely in response. The claws barely missed him, but they struck a tree behind him. To Dante's shock and horror, they almost sliced through the solid bark like it was butter. It got about halfway through before it got somewhat stuck…

Soon his meal was ready and he ate like a ravenous beast. He practically inhaled the food like a certain pink star warrior, leaving nothing behind. After cleaning up, he went to bathe and then left his residence. He had immediately scheduled his first gene treatment at the Institution of Student Enhancements out of the free 15 granted him. From the moment Dante landed in that fight with the wolves, he had direly understood the importance of stats, especially after using absorption. He had been…

At this time, Dante was surprisingly extremely lucid. He would normally go into shock from such pain, but the endless adrenaline being pumped into his system kept him awake and the rapid battle commands coming from his brain kept him on his toes. At this moment, with his right arm locked and about to be mauled as a chunk of flesh would likely be ripped out while his back was sending him signals of pain that made him want to curl up and cry on the ground, Dante felt like he had never been more…

This was quite an… interesting scene. There was a man, a bunch of whimpering mutated dogs, and one final mutated dog deep in death throes that was spraying extremely toxic body fluids and innards around as it writhed in pain. If this was supposed to be funny, it really wasn't. If this was supposed to be horrifying... it also kinda wasn't. Neither amusing nor blood curdling left one with a feeling of speechlessness. The other mutated dogs hung back while watching their buddy die slowly in…
