Since the sun was already halfway into the sky, Dominic decided to take a nap as soon as possible. He didn’t feel comfortable doing it too close to the forest given the inhabitants he’d already encountered, but he found a nice stand of shady trees. Not a species either he or Leo recognised, b...
2023-12-04 20:55:00 +0000 UTC View PostHell! Dominic spat mentally as he counted nine more wolves surrounding him. Worse, they were actually bigger than the one he had been facing. Perhaps a level or two above the one he’d been fighting. If any of them had broken through into Tier 2, Dominic was in trouble. Heck, h...
2023-12-04 20:47:56 +0000 UTC View Post‘I agree with your thoughts about improving our sense of smell, Leo replied after a moment. It could certainly help us to find some females, he added. Perhaps we should consider enhancing our vocal cords. A more fearsome roar could help us as it highlights our power. Other...
2023-12-04 20:35:49 +0000 UTC View PostDecision made, Dominic jogged away from the bunch of kesh. He had some strange sense of a direction which he ought to go in. At first he’d just thought that it was because he was heading uphill, but as time had gone on, he’d realised that it wasn’t just that. There was a…pull. An attracti...
2023-12-04 20:34:02 +0000 UTC View PostA quick glance around showed that most of the kesh had already thrown their projectiles at Dominic, though there were a few which still had one. Those, Dominic avoided but kept an eye on, preparing to dodge. The ones which had already launched the rocks and nuts were turning away, clearly prepari...

2023-12-01 19:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostDominic braced himself, expecting for that download of information to hijack his mind again now that he’d thought the trigger word. A few moments later, he risked opening his eyes again from where he’d unintentionally closed them as he prepared himself.
It’s…not starting? Place ...

To his delight, it appeared that being able to choose two options last time hadn’t just been a fluke or reward specific to level 11 afte...
There was a moment of stillness as the two sides sized each other up. Their battle so far had landed mostly on Dominic’s side, with five hyenas dead and eight left, but they only needed to kill one of him to win a decisive victory. And if they managed to pin him like they had earlier, it might ...
2023-11-29 19:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostCrouching, he leapt into the air, landing behind the line of hyenas which surrounded him.
The hyenas were taken by surprise when an oversized lion flew over their heads, but they quickly skedaddled away once he’d landed. Still, Dominic was able to use their initial surprise to his advanta...
2023-11-28 19:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostThis whole thing is getting pretty weighty, Dominic thought to himself as he skimmed his status sheet, actually having to mentally scroll down to get to the bottom of it. He still remembered when it was only a few small sections, and fitted within the limits of his view. Perhaps I ca...
2023-11-26 19:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHealth situation visibly improved, Dominic decided to find the various Beast Cores scattered around the place before checking out his status screen. Wandering around, he hunted down the multi-coloured balls of almost-crystal. The scrin’s was the first one he went for, obvious in the area of fla...
2023-11-25 19:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe hyrilla clearly understood the challenge in his vocalisation and planted its curled paws on the ground, roaring back at him.
Once more, Dominic felt a bone-chilling sense of fear go through him. At this close distance it even served to make him freeze for a fraction of a second too long...
2023-11-24 19:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostJust before Dominic had slipped into hiding in the thorn bush, he’d taken a few moments to hook the Beast Core out of the zebra’s brain with a claw. Fortunately it was near the spinal cord, so he hadn’t had to go digging too far in the striped equine’s skull. Now he crunched it down and l...
2023-11-23 19:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostAhead of Dominic were a small herd of bad-tempered, striped horses: the instantly recognisable African residents known as zebras. While he didn’t know exactly what level this group of herbivores were now, he wouldn’t take them lightly even if they’d only gained a couple of levels: pre-Syste...
2023-11-22 19:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostWhere did all this come from? Dominic wondered, unintentionally projecting it to Leo.
I…. Leo hesitated. There was that moment with the creature of the stone cave. The…dungeon, I believe you call it. Something happened then. Perhaps this is linked. Dominic wou...
2023-11-21 19:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostDominic waited impatiently for Leo to finish his meal. It was an unspoken agreement that they would swap over once he was done and Dominic wanted to find out what the warthog’s core contained in terms of ability, eager to discover if his theory about Charge was correct.
Since the warthog ...
2023-11-19 19:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostFollowing the trail wasn’t as easy as Dominic had hoped - he wasn’t a blood-hound after all. Still, despite a few missteps, he found his prey.
The little family were rooting around in the ground, making grunting noises every so often. Two parents with their little brood of five youngst...
Of course, before he set off, there was just one more thing he wanted to do. He couldn’t test Second Wind properly yet - not only did he not want to use his hail mary for no reason, but he actually couldn’t activate it until his HP or SP were below 50%. However, that wasn’t the only new abi...
2023-11-17 19:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostAs he passed through the tunnel in which he’d once fought a pack of hyenas, Dominic became utterly convinced that he’d grown - and not only a little, either. His head was much closer to the ceiling of the tunnel than it had been, and his body was nearer the walls of it too.
Excellen...
2023-11-16 19:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostSo, that happened, Dominic started inanely. Leo had finally pushed himself upright only a few minutes ago and was currently grooming himself. Dominic felt both tempted to join him - because heaven knew he needed a bit of comfort after what had just happened - and awkward about doing so i...
2023-11-15 19:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostDominic didn’t have enough time to feel more than a sense of foreboding before pain was suddenly ripping through him. It felt like fingers were digging into his chest, clawed fingers. The pain was excruciating, almost as bad as using the magic scroll had been.
“Just agree to be...
2023-11-14 19:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostIn a blink, the dungeon around Dominic disappeared. Instead, he was in a blank white space which seemed to have no end. In front of him, a few paces away, crouched a lion.
Leo, Dominic realised. And he didn’t look friendly. Having inhabited a lion’s body for a few days now, Dom...
2023-11-12 19:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostTouching the Beast Core with one paw, Dominic mentally sent a request to absorb Second Wind.
[You have selected ability: Second Wind. You have a 50% chance of absorbing this ability successfully. Would you like to continue or return to the list of possible abilities?]
It’ll take some time to get used to this, Dominic decided after some experimentation with his new piece of equipment. It was heavy on his tail, the strain of the unaccustomed weight quickly making itself known. Clearly, this wasn’t actually something he was going to be able to use in...
2023-11-10 19:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostWhile continuing to consider the choice in the back of his mind, Dominic turned to the other three items in the box. One was a bag. Not an extra-dimensional one, unfortunately, as was obvious by the fact that it was showing the shape of the items stored inside.
A bit of judicious prodding s...
2023-11-09 19:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostThere was no foreboding rumble, and the statue didn't spring to life. Dominic decided to be grateful for small mercies. Though, nothing actually happened at all. Wondering whether it was a dud, or whether he’d simply missed something, Dominic hesitated for a long moment, frozen in his ...
2023-11-08 19:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostDominic didn’t know what had just happened. One moment he had been holding onto the warthog’s head with front paws and teeth, his back paws gouging out its throat. The next, he was flying through the air.
Colliding painfully with the wall - again - he dropped a good couple of metres to ...
2023-11-07 19:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostA twisted game of cat and mouse ensued where the cat was the mouse. In the few moments of thought he got, Dominic couldn’t help a sense of amusement from going through him at how similar his strategy was to the one Jerry used to play on Tom.
