tutorial boss fight ended

Future edit here.
Got my wisdom teeth removed on Wednesday, not as fun as expected.
I thought ice cream all-day and while that can be true I didn't know I needed to eat soft food. Fairy odd parents did not mention all this extra nonsense.
My cheeks swelling, hard to open mouth, pain, and worse still is the medication I was recommended is NOWHERE! Why? Cause some neanderthals went "hay why don't I abuse this so it becomes very hard to sell so creatures like me won't abuse it and people who need it won't get it."
Shit babies. The lot of them.
The replacement drugs I do have taste bad and suck to eat, I imagine the one's I'm supposed to have are the same.
But that' would be purposely ignoring that you would inject it not eat it. Probably.

I drag myself to a sapling with weak enough wood to make a hopefully weaker bow that I can pull and replace the one I lost at sea.
That's all I've been doing since I woke up on the beach and had a panic attack cause of the tentacle monster on my legs.
"Eggcup hi jzhjj!"
Thankfully I'm male.
Dragging the Chu chu low ho (gah need to shorten that) from my legs I take note of my surroundings.
The sand of the beach is colored an honest gold sparkling condiments and where silver water splashes on the beach a haze of colors drift out making a shining fog obscure my vision of the ocean.
The beach stretches out left and right to far to see and is thick enough to comfortably hold a carnival while still leaving room to make sand Castles without water nipping people's heels.
I miss going to clean, beaches.
The last oddity is the twisted shapes of blood-colored saplings that dot the beach each as tall as a grown man and give the ominous presence of a victim of starvation barely hanging to life. But even then they still stand like the redwoods that give way to the same beach they live on.
Grabbing onto a fallen branch I take note of the hollow feeling it has, like dropped skin of a reptile, dead.
"...Craft. (Bow)"
The branch thins out into a denser form fibers that poked from the edges making the string, a bow forms in my hand.
「 「mission: complete!
"Archery trait"」
Make (3/3) bows and either break them from use/lose them
rewards: 1 exp, .1 pp, Level 1 Archery, [Soulless bow of slaughter]」
「Archery Level 1 GAINED
Perk1 (aim) can now aim bow」
Every time I used the bow up to now I notice I could only fire from the hip. Now I'm unstoppable. And I have this cutie.
___________________
[Soulless bow of slaughter]
A bow that takes the appearance of metal purposely rusted for it's color, thin almost pink lines style it's surface that spirals down from both ends creating an X in the center signaling where your hand will go.
Even like this, the [Soulless bow of slaughter] doesn't look like a real bow, its really a curved bit of wood that somehow functions as a bow.
The bowstring is a muted orange color that looks and feels like a the line made from a spider, and just like the beginning of a spider's web is so thin it's hard to see even if looking directly at it. The only way to see the string is to catch the hint of light reflected by a natural light source.
[R] good
[Da] .5-1
___________________
The bow I made now has a underlined name I can see above it and a bio. It's not a new thing like I expected the I would get but still.
"Success!"
I'm so excited I can even ignore the rain approaching from the water.
How wonderful~ I have a new weapon and I'min top form~ this would be the best time for a. Boss.
Fight. Wouldn't it?
That wasn't rain.
If the sound from before was a pressured air cutting water that didn't become comforting as it was not a 'threat'.
Then the sound now would be linked to a chainsaw striking metal that's churning out meat.
*SsspPppPlllllCccKckcCccC
I whip around to bare witness a tower of silver reaching the sky reflecting light in a kaleidoscope of light, the drops coming down looking like building-sized daggers slicing into the beach.
Suddenly the silver tower is cut in two by a dorsal fin at least as tall as a whale and spreads backwards into the translucent shape of a bat wing colored a greenish-brown.
Arms filled with section cups cover me en mass protecting me from a sharpened raindrop with a volume similar to a backyard swimming pool.
"Vat-dta-fiuck?"
When the shadows cast by my living shield gives way to the mother of all barracuda I wondered why my question had to be answered with this.
The name hovering comfortably in my vision, however, concerns to me that even the ocean in this dimension is cursed like the last.
{Small baby Bisecto}
"Yes but WHY?!"
It lets out a shriek that seems to break the air around it, I'm stunned, made deaf and somehow blinded by the colossal creature. When I'm able to open my eyes I see I'm caught in the most unique place.
A blizzard of sand rages around us as a barracuda the size of which would me banned, launches torpedos down on the Chu chu low ho creating many conflagrations staining the the sky red.
"Shit." Pulling my [Soulless bow of slaughter] from my hammer space I quickly start with fumbling arrows onto the string to shoot.
When I'm finally able to get a 'groove' that allows me to shoot fast, to an amateur, but missing most shots I start to realise how useless it is the few that do strike its armored body burst like a balloon on contact. Not breaking, just, popping.
This gives me the impression of a raid boss that only two showed up to fight.
A cage of tentacles spread around {Small baby Bisecto} dragging it under the waves causing a tsunami to rise up, up and up.
As that is happening in running away, away and away.
The waves reach their peak getting slashed up the middle from the emerging fishy entity, roaring in defiance, tentacles detaching from its massive frame.
Small baby Bisecto right there.
Small. Baby.
A thought pushes into my mind, a facial expression but no face. I'm given the impression of a 'what the fuck!' face.
『Luwcky staw activated?!』
Lucky. Star?
It's like time froze, my vision gets a complete overhaul, I can see I way to victory, the {Small baby Bisecto}'s eye stands out to me.
It's in the ocean but for some reason from my position on the beach.
"I can hit it."
I take a stance I don't recognize and can't put the effort into looking to memorize it.
Lifting my bow, pulling it Taunt, and aiming at my target in one smooth surprises me, but not as much as the arch the arrow I didn't realize I let go shoots off into the distance.
None of that surprised me as much as the fact I hit the eye of the beast. What am I supposed by more, the fact it it or how far it went?
『...????』
「tutorial boss fight ended
Reward survived boss fight」
I did it-
"NO! Fuck no! Bring your ass back here bitch!"
「!」『!』
"You got me fucked up if you think that's my reward fucker give me the goods I know your hiding it! I know it's there!"
I put my hand on my flexing arm menacingly.
"I felt it! I FELT SOMETHING! Don't screw with me!"
There's a momentary silence filled only with the sound of my breath coming back to me. I wait a bit and almost wonder if I yelled at nothing before glaring hard at nothing, steeling my resolve.
When the sound of slippery arms moving along the ground to me join my slowing breath I'm gifted with a very unenthusiastic ding.
「 for surviving a battle between two much higher leveled entities you are given tutorial boss fight Participation rewards」
Not a gift, my reward. I fought for this.
「「masochist bag」destroyed, 3 exp, up ENU .1 (.1 pp due to level), .5 pp, "level difference", INT up .1 (.1 pp due to level)」
I got 3 exp for a boss fight.
"You wat!?"

I'm in pain, I dropped my pills, and I'm hungry. But I'm writing.
Yes ENU
So the fourth of July was nice... I hope...
Yours was too.
If you celebrated it...
This chapter I took to dipping my toes in a boss fight, in the future they will be longer and could be more than one chapter or just dip into multi chapters.
Also 13k stuff. Wo! It was at 10k with the last actual chapter I published, that felt nice to look at, by the way, I think its views? It's by the eye so that's a lot. A lot of traffic on this site, but this is probably better looking that my chapter 1 over on fanfiction, and that's just for the layout.
Sometimes I give more info than needed.
Bye.
