What now!?

*Waking up to a chick with a terrible sleeping posture not too far from me.

She was no longer in the sleeping bag but it got warm enough with a goblin curled up between us.

We all stayed warm enough thanks to perv.

I groan As I got up my joints seem a bit stiff.

When I was getting up I felt a bit taller and the ceiling seems closer...

None the less I get up.

Looking at the girl and goblin I got a feeling of satisfaction.

I am safe enough to sleep, even next to someone I wasn't bothered or intimidated.

She has only been here since last night and yet she seems so comfortable... I almost don't want to wake her up.

Do not get me wrong it's not because she is cute or that I want to watch her sleep that's frigging creepy.

Which again don't get me wrong she is cute with black hair, eyes, and white skin.

It's just she has terrible mannerisms...

She is like a thug from those high school mangas.

Anyway, it's time to get up at least it is for me.

Perv and I have a routine and I may not talk about it but as I have continued it every day I have also added to our daily routine.

I can do 200 push-ups, 150 squats, 150 sit-ups, 100 jumping jaxs, and 100 goblin lifts for each arm.

Perv doesn't mind the goofy thing that may enjoy it more than I Do.

As for Rory...

I will let her sleep.

or so I thought?

After our work out she got up and was not bashful at all... *

Rory: Where are some different pants?

Rico: In the bags tied to the ladder.

I am preparing breakfast, which is just a refried piece of meat from dinner with an extra special side dish.

Its eggs.

We found some big ass eggs in a nest and I got all of them.

*after the smell of cooking food was wafting around our hideout and only then did the lazy Rory bother to get up.

Which in hindsight I guess I don't mind since it seems it has been a while since she slept so well.

Since any of us slept well I guess...

*Maybe it is because we are safer in numbers...

Rory: Smells good.

where were the clothes at?

Rico: Pants are In the first bag and that third bag there is a bag with all kinds of clothes some of them might fit you.

If you dig a bit deeper I even have some skirts...

Hey don't judge me with those eyes I was going to be using them as patches for other clothes.

Rory: I want to question that a bit?

Rico: Don't question something with such a lewd misunderstanding.

Perv and I raided a Mall turns out it was a goblin nest or village.

We grabbed what we could on the way out and burned it to the ground.

Turns out there are way more females clothing stores in a mall.

Since I just grabbed as I was running and we went past the shops a few times.

I decided why just single something out.

Rory: You began chucking stuff into those wagons?

Rico: Well... Yeah Since I know how to sew I feel like it would be wasteful when I already have it.

I was just like screw it since I can put it to use as patches or extra fabric when fixing other clothes.

I mean We won't always have stores or other things close by so if I rip it I can repair it.

It makes my skills better who knows maybe I can be a tailor in the future.

Rory: what do you mean by we won't always have things close by?

Rico: well, eventually, I will leave this city for the next and one day In my future I will find a nice place to settle and then create a haven.

Rory: That's kind of cool.

Rico: Then I will begin to fight to conquer this world as my kingdom!

I am thinking King... No Emperor Silver.

Rory: that was quite heroic until the end... that last part Is a bit villain-ish but I am not complaining.

At least you have a goal I am still figuring out what the f*c* to do...

Rico: well what it is and what it will be are a world apart.

Surviving is the goal For now.

What do you say want to conquer some sh*t with me?

I mean I am in no rush, We have an entire life to sort this Sh*t out.

Rory: I see... maybe?

*after my little chat with Rory, she went silent I decided to crack one of those eggs.

I mean it is still breakfast time so I added it to the meat and MRE randomness.

Little to my surprise out of the four eggs, one was missing?

The other three were still present though.

I just grabbed another shrugging the missing one-off as collateral.

Perv probably couldn't help itself and ate one I mean It contributed.

No complaints from me.

*I cracked it and the yolk was gorgeous as it was enough to feed two I decided that the one was enough and the other two would be dinner.

I had an extra bag of rice that was yet to go bad and well even with weevils.

I'll still eat it their just protein.

I was just about to sit when out of the corner of my eye I saw the fourth egg it had sprouted legs from Its little bottom and was walking around like a blind chicken.

Pecking the floor with a Twunk Tink, every few seconds like it was using sonar.

I walked over and picked it up it chirped and tucked its legs in.

I could feel the little fellow shiver in its shell.

I giggled and decided to help the little fellow out.

After I remove it from the shell it chirped happily in my hand it was a plump little grey feathered chick about the size of a full-grown chicken but it was just a chick.

It chirped again at my food with a long stare of glee.

I happily ate as I fed it bits of what might be deer steak with eggs...

Yes, I made it commit a terrible act of cannibalism but hey it was hungry.

After we ate I decided to go on a hunt...

I left Rory at the hideout much to her protest but the moment.

I mean the moment!

I handed her that bird she shut up and acted like it was a plush toy.

I heard nothing else besides gleeful squeals and awws from her after that.

I left mainly to go scout out the area and plan on my best route out.

It's not that I don't trust Rory, I just don't trust myself enough to share my whole plan "Yet".

Thinking about the situation I am currently facing made my head hurt.

Or so I thought!?

I felt a pinch in my brain behind my ears as if someone grabbed my head.

The back of my Skull began a buzzing Deep in-ears inside my head a loud buzzing.

which I have been left with no breath thanks to that ringing buzz it was dangerous almost making me blackout.

It pushed into my thoughts making my head split to the point of no return.

I cringing and buckling overlooking at perv it seems i was not alone and had no choice but to return to the hideout early.

I knew it was only so long before I passed out with this now fierce headache, I didn't want to do anything.

I wasn't the only one when I got back i saw Rory and perv both had this issue too.

Thinking it was an attack of some sort we stayed hidden clutching our ears which only made the Ring worse for me...

After about an hour or more of the buzzing, we all heard a voice and I mean. "We and All"

Everyone on earth to be exact and Everything even the new creatures that appeared from the rifts on earth.

Everyone able to listen heard this voice like it was reverberating into our minds.*

-(mystery voice)-

Inhabitants of planet 3 of sector 6-363.

This is the Progenitors or as you may call us God's, or Deities.

We, Progenitors, are truly a few levels above even that.

We, have given you this message from a courtesy that is extended by the Primary Codex.

The Alpha system is now active.

At the proceedings of surviving a month, Or One month of your systems time.

We have determined the rewards for your star system, As the connection has taken longer than normal.

The current rewards are set at one natural skill.

(Rank ?)

Any being passed this point will be able to interact with your Deities, mana, and its uses including much more information that I cannot reveal.

As you may have noticed many benefits are to be taken from this power.

Adding on that, the action of connecting the Alpha system later than normal is tragic but not unseen.

As you, humans have been out of the loop with Deities, mana, and natural power for so long, yet still, this little rock contains large amounts of imagination and growth.

There have been some that have found it harder to take it in and with your current technologies.

Which again the tragedy has not gone unseen We are not unjust, Nor cruel!

The disasters have been astounding, the total of nine billion-plus sentient life forms has taken a major hit with just under three and a half billion left.

Along with the delay of the Alpha system, we have determined that compensation is in order.

With that, I apologize since we could not warn you by the laws.

I am here to warn and inform everyone present right now!

This is your chance to begin Rising.

With the system active you will have the aid of the celestial powers deities some of you may have already discovered a few of the perks.

Others may have already made friends. the unknown.

You are no longer alone a species of apex predators no more.

Each rift open in this star sector is a link to a new realm as in a whole world is beyond each gate.

Along with the infinite possibilities, I hear so much from the others.

The races of Galactic region 1-Sol, sector 6-363 planet 3.

you should be interested so, I expect some big things from a very adaptive race like this one.

As a little bonus, From the Primary codex, it is up to your species on how you act...

"there is extraterrestrial close, as for celestial and demonic forces they are already there.

Ready to take your world!"

And we Progenitors hope you would do the absolute best to prepare.

As that is for your species alone, The only help you will ever hear.

Do not take me lightly foolish mortals, I have seen to many go extinct under the circumstances. -

* After the being shut his mouth the buzzing stopped and a window popped into my view making my mind spin.

Rory, On the other hand, seemed elated as if she was just given candy.

she was even more gleeful it seems as she was playing with the little grey bird.

even perv was enjoying the screens it was like he was rather familiar with it.

I looked at mine in an exhausting manner it was like an RPG game screen.

This is not what bothered me but the thing that did was the millions of new issues that have arisen I now had stirring in my mind and heart.

It was like I was thrust into an all-new galaxy and the worst part... I will never be able to comprehend my questions.

Along with the words of the creepy voice, who did I have to ask?

Now this sh*t is stacking in mountains I was always told sh*t rolls downhill and in this situation, I am certainly at the bottom!

Giving up from the massive headache I decided to read them after a nap, as soon as I laid down so did the rest of the group.

That was painful so extremely painful!

What was I supposed to do now??
