《Daniel Solhoeg (A TWI fanfic)》 1.0 D Daniel is a smart guy. it¡¯s what everyone keeps telling him. to his face at least. well they used to, until 6 months ago when he decided to go full anime detective on what the internet calls ¡°out of the blue¡± missing people ¡®hoax¡¯ It started with someone leaking surveillance footage from a shopping mall where 3 people just disappeared. the internet, of course, claimed that it was fabricated. but more and more people began to add similar stories on to the post with names, places and dates so as a bit of indulgent fun he put all of it on a map. names, places, dates. every three months for at least 6 years an ever-increasing number of teens to young adults would disappear. like clockwork it was spread all over the globe too. but see that was the interesting part. it gave daniel access to A LOT of data, how the barometers around the world at the location of the abduction sites would sudden start to drop exactly half an hour before someone would disappear how they would spike exactly 1min and 33 seconds after how when he went to the sites all over the world and measured them he would find an increased amount of gamma radiation. he had been kicked out of a lot of shops and even a few countries had banned him on the premise of spreading fear in the general populace. and what daniel had learned was that the pattern moved, it seemed random at first. but all patterns are random until you figure out its trick. The author''s tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.people used to call him smart for a reason but people didn¡¯t call him that anymore as no one would listen to him. his good reputation gone he had turned to a slightly crazy plan okay it was more than a little crazy you see according to Daniels calculations A Spot Of Disappearance would open just outside the west coast of Denmark, his home country so he had bought a boat and fitted it with cameras transponders, the whole shebang. and it would show the world via Youtube, Facebook, twitch and as many live streaming services as humanly possible the greatest disappearance act in the world. he had packed a bag of essentials for whatever would be on the other side. extra clothes, his laptop full of instruction manuals, on how to live in the wild. 2 external hard drives 1 with a terabyte of music and one with a terabyte of isekai anime plus or other cartoons such as Avatar, TLA and LOK, which was his favourite. As well as any form of story about surviving in a new world. A small steam engine that could charge his laptop (because who would bring electronics into the unknown without a way to charge it). 5 days worth of rations. he had also had a packet of seeds as well as a guide to how one would go about planting them. for weapons, daniel had packed his hunting rifle along with a katana he had bought before he started investigating the A.S.O.D cases. his police fathers service pistol and a Pump Action shotgun he had obtained through less savoury means. For protection, Daniel was wearing biker pants, jacket, gloves and Boots. but Daniel had been Stupid because one minute he was walking around on board his ship, rambling to his online audience. while a digital clock counted down in the background. A few hours later he stood in an inn. that under assault. by an Undead Horde 1.1 D one minute Daniel was on his ship rambling to an audience that sadly, only numbered in the thousands. the next, he was on a grassy plain rambling to an audience of 7. 7 green little men with feathers in their hair, who were very confused, but very still at seeing an oddly dressed human appear out of thin air not far from where they were tending to their wounds. ¡°so if my calculations are right I should be gone in¡­¡± as daniel glazed at where his digital clock should be he noticed that he was no longer at sea, but rather in a hilly valley of some sort. ¡°I¡­ jeg gjorde det, fuck yea ta den haters¡± #translated from danish he said, ¡°I¡­ I did it, fuck yea, take that, haters.¡± as daniel glanced around I noticed the little green men, people near him and placed his hand on his gun, ready to draw. ¡°Hey kan I forst? hvad jeg siger?¡± when the green men did not react so he switched to german ¡°Hey, Kannst du mich verstehen¡± german didn¡¯t work either ¡°Hey, tu peux me comprendre¡± neither did french, though the green men did begin to back away from the strange man. ¡°Hey, can you understand me?. the green men did twitch this time so daniel took that to mean they did ¡°Have you seen anyone who looks like me?¡± he gestured to his face. one of the green men nodded, which earned several pokes from his fellow green men. the green man that nodded did a series of hand gestures, which made the other green men grin and nod all around. I don¡¯t know if it can trust them, so I will keep my eyes on them as I follow them. the green man who nodded, turns to leave while waving at me to follow, so I do. the other 6 don¡¯t move though so I walk around their left side rather than walking in between them. I keep a distance of 3 meters and they follow me with their red eyes all the way. the 6 remain where they are as I follow nodder (as I have begun calling him in my head). For what feels like 10 minutes we walk with my long legs easily keeping up with nodder. We walk in silence and it helps the tension I had felt to ease somewhat, for all I know this green man is leading me into a trap. The hills are high, but oddly enough they don¡¯t stand base to base, there is an average of 50 meters between each hill, leaving large ¡®rivers¡¯ of grassland between each ¡®island¡¯. I was lost in thoughts such as these when we passed by a bush and i was jumped by the 6 other goblins. luckily I had kept my distance to every large rock or bush we had passed so far so there were a few meters between them and me. BANG BANG BANG I drew my gun and shot 3 times before Nodder and his friends were upon me. I got one in it¡¯s shoulder, one in its chest and one right between the eyes. 2 didn¡¯t get up again and the others wisened up and decided to bolt, but not before trying to shank me with their little knives. their knives just scratched off my armour. and they ran away. as they ran I aimed at their back, I decided to save my ammunition though. ¡°ah fuck, 15 minutter I en anden verden og jeg har allerede sl?et nogen ihjel¡± #ah fuck, 15 minutes in another world and I''ve already killed someone¡± Now did the nodder and his friend run for reinforcements or did they just run? I can''t take that chance so I go for the nearest hill. I soldiered the three shells I had fired before leaving. climbing it with my backpack was hard but not overly so and as I reached the top I could finally have a proper look around. At first, it was hard seeing anything but with the scope on my rifle I spotted a building. a building on a hill. which was in the opposite direction of where the goblins were leading me. ¡°sigh¡± course plotted, I began my trek towards this building the green men did not want me near. I shouldered the rifle and kept my hand on the gun. best be ready for the little green men, should they want revenge for their comrades. As I made my way down the hill I stepped into a hole that made my stumble and tumble all the way down, hitting my head on a rock as I did so. [Gunner Class Obtained!] [Gunner level 1] [Skill - Unerring Aim Obtained!] [Skill - Quick Draw Obtained!] I saw stars and heard voices, and I didn¡¯t know if and how long I had been unconscious. so I did the only sane thing I could think of. get my ass in gear towards my destination. Now I¡¯m not a small guy with my 2 meters in height it gives a nice frame to build some meat upon, buff but not overly so. my point is I can cover some ground whilst carrying a backpack of about 25 kg. I could see the inn now and better yet, there was light in the windows on the ground floor. Movement by the door someone was leaving, I couldn¡¯t see them clearly from where I was so I checked my surroundings before scoping them with my rifle. I danm near shat myself. a group of insect people had come out the door alongside a normal-looking human woman. they talked for a bit before the bug people left.

Report it. the woman went inside so I trekked the last bit. as I neared the inn I saw a Sign -¡°no killing Goblins¡± it said. Were the green men goblins? it was likely, given their appearance I knocked on the door¡­ ------ Erin pow Erin had just sat down and said farewell to Pawn and the workers, when there was a knock on the door. ¡®dun de de dun dun¡¯ pause ¡®dun dun¡¯ it seemed strangely familiar to how people back home would knock, it lifted her mood a tiny bit. and so she went to the door with a little spring in her step. When she opened the door her mouth dropped wide open before her stood the tallest man, she had seen since coming to this world. he had short blond hair and blue-greyish eyes and there was a purplish swelling on his forehead The most striking feature about him was what he was wearing though. as he was wearing a full-body biker suit. ¡°Uh I don¡¯t know if you can understand me miss, but if it isn¡¯t to much trouble could I come in and ask you a few questions, maybe spend the night¡± the man had a Scandinavian accent, Swedish Maybee, ¡°Erin Solstice¡± ¡°what¡± ¡°my name is Erin Solstice¡± ¡°right i''m Daniel Solhoeg¡± he just stood there ¡°soo, can I come in?¡± ¡°Right, sorry¡± Erin moved out of the doorway she had been blocking as Daniel moved inside he saw something and before Erin could stop him, he had a gun trained on Toren, who now crouched, ready to pounce ¡°NO, DON''T SHOOT, HE IS FRIENDLY. Toren, back of¡± ------ Daniels POW The lungs on this girl, made my ears ring oh something fierce. the skeleton obeys Erin thou so I lower my gun ¡°are you from home¡± I whirl around and look closely at her. her dress and shirt look medieval, but her shoes. they look positively modern. ¡°depends what you mean with ¡®home¡¯¡± I move so I can keep both the skeleton and Erin in my sight. ¡°well, you¡¯re from earth right. you know America, Europe, uhhm the geneva convention¡± ¡°2 state unions and an agreement of wartime behaviour, yes I¡¯m from earth¡± at that Erin storms me and hugs me, uf she is strong ¡°omgiwassoscaredatfirsttherewasadragontheigotchasedbygoblinsifoundthisinnbutitwassodirtyandicleaneditigottheinnkeeperclassand¡­ why is your face turning blue¡± ¡°can¡¯t breathe¡± I wheezed as I clapped her on her arm to get her attention she immediately let go and took a step back. ¡°oh,mygoshi¡¯msosorryiwasjustsohappytosomeonefromhomfmmm¡± I put a hand over her mouth to stop her from talking ¡°calm down, you¡¯re talking too fast, why don¡¯t we sit down and we can take this whole thing from the top.. Erin did calm down and she told me, in broad terms what she had done since coming here. and I told her how I had figured out when, where and who had disappeared. that no-one had cared and how I had live-streamed my disappearance both to prove that I was right but also to see if there was anything I could do from this end she dropped her jaw at that. ¡°I can¡¯t believe it, you would risk your life for a bunch of strangers¡±. well if you don¡¯t, believe me, I can show you I pulled out my laptop and showed her my maps and calculations. ¡°oh, that is soo cool. how did you come up with all of this?¡± ¡°oh I originally started doing it to prove how it was a hoax, but when I count find any of the people on the list I started looking into other phenomenons occurring at the same time as the abductions, at the time I figured if I could beat the hoax, I might as well feed it¡­ I scratched the back of my head at that. ¡°but it just kept making sense¡± ¡°then 3 months ago¡± ¡°IT¡¯S BEEN 3 MONTHS ALREADY?¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Erin was panicking slightly now, and so she had raised her voice she took a deep breath before continuing in a more level voice ¡°It has only been about 30 days here¡± she was wiping at her eyes now ¡°could be worse than a 3-1 time dilation¡± ¡°yes it could be worse but I want to go home and not have everyone grow old on me¡± ¡°I understand that Erin, I¡¯m just trying to be real with you¡± an idea occurs to me. ¡°would you like to watch a movie from home?¡± Erin brightened at that so I put on frozen, cuz you know. Disney 1.2 D we sat in the inn, Erin had made us pancakes and blue juice, (man that is delicious) and we were watching frozen, we were at the spot where Anna is frozen solid. when Erin shot to her feet I paused the movie as she was looking alarmed, ¡°what¡¯s wrong Erin?¡± ¡°don¡¯t you hear that?¡± ¡°hear what?¡± ¡°sounds like an alarm or something¡± I strained but I couldn¡¯t hear anything ¡°I don¡¯t hear anything Erin¡± she went over to a window and looked out, ¡°I can¡¯t see anything out there but I know something IS there¡± I unstrapped my rifle and went over to the window Erin was looking out of. looking through the scope I scanned the terrain furthest from the inn. ¡°I don¡¯t see anything Erin¡± a few tense moments passed by as the only thing that happened was the darkening of the sky and then Daniel saw it. ¡°Erin what am I looking at here¡± he handed the rifle to Erin and pointed her in the right direction. ¡°it looks like¡­ like Lizcor is under attack¡± ¡°you think they will come here¡± Erin and Daniel shared a look before both scrambled to get ready Erin¡¯s pov ----- Daniel flipped tables up so they could bar the windows and Erin propped up bottle after bottle of some kind of green glowing liquid on to the bar. all of the prep came to a halt, when one of the bug men came barreling through the door. Erin and David Both froze for a short moment before Erin relaxed ¡°Oh. Pawn. it¡¯s just you.¡± The Antinium stood in the doorway, nearly invisible in the fading light. Erin frowned. then she began to back away. ¡°Wait a second.¡± The antinium had four arms and two legs. Pawn- Pawn didn¡¯t have all his limbs anymore. but worker¡¯s weren¡¯t allowed to leave the city unattended, and this Antinium didn¡¯t have swords ¡°who¡­ are you?¡± He was familiar. At least, he seemed familiar, but he definitely wasn¡¯t Pawn or Ksmvr. The worker- if that¡¯s what he was- Shuddered. He shook slightly, and then stepped suddenly towards Erin. she backed up further away from him.¡± ¡°h-hello? can you hear me? Who are you? what do you want?¡± The workers head twitched suddenly. Erin let out a little ¡°eep¡± as she jumped slightly backwards ¡°hey bug, if you don¡¯t back up right now we are going to have a problem¡± Daniel had grabbed a shotgun and was advancing slowly towards the worker who didn¡¯t even register his presence ¡°I aM AnTiNium. I haVe a NaMe.¡± Erin backed up further . that wasn¡¯t what a worker normally sounded like. The one in front of her was speaking rapidly, his voice surging and falling. he sounded- insane. ¡°You have a name? um, good. That¡¯s good, right?¡± He stared at her. ¡°I Am iNdivIDuAL. BuT I reJECT. I rejEcT aLL.¡± ¡°last chance pal, back of¡± ¡°ThiS is yOUr FaulT¡± the antinium did not stop ¡°me? what did I do?¡± ¡°YOU DID THIS TO ME. yOu mAde me ThIS waY. bUT alL iS SuffERIng. Erin backed up But stumbled over an overturned table leg the antinium leaps forwards all arms ready to strike BLAM the Antinium landed limply on top of Erin with green blood sprayed all over her Erin was screaming and hitting the antinium who was just laying there on top of her Daniels POV --- Erin was scared of whatever this bug thing was, so when it leapt to strike her I shot it.

I bent over forwards and threw up I heard something running at the open door. so I snapped upright and armed my shotgun ¡®shu-shunk¡¯ another antinium stopped momentarily in the door to take in the scene before him ¡°freeze before I blow your head off¡± the antinium in the door raised its hand placatingly as it looked upon Erin scrambling out from underneath the headless antinium. ¡°Please. I mean Erin no harm¡± ¡°what about me?¡± ¡°do You mean Erin harm?¡± ¡°no, I was the one protecting her from your friend there¡± ¡°so we have an accord in that we both want Erin to live. we must hurry as the undead could be upon us any moment now¡± Erin had finally freed herself from the headless antinium and now looked at the one in the door for the first time. ¡°...Pawn?¡± ¡°I am not Pawn.¡± The worker shook his head. But he was not Ksmvr Either. He knelt before Erin suddenly, he spoke to her, voice loud in the silence. ¡°I am Knight.¡± ¡°Knight?¡± He nodded. The Worker stared up at Erin ¡°I have named myself. I have Chosen. I am individual, First and last of my kind. I am Knight and no one else is like me. And I am here to protect you¡­ We are here to protect you.¡± ¡°We?¡± ¡°Erin you should probably look outside, there are more of these¡­ whatever they are out there.¡± Erin Threw caution to the wind and raced outside, brushing past knight. there she stopped Daniel had followed her and now stood behind Erin as they looked upon the Antinium. Workers. They stood around the inn, Arms folded or holding weapons. Swords, maces, axes. But also other things. rolling pins, rocks, large branches¡­ even a large vase in one case. they all stared Silently at Erin as she froze in place. ¡°Who¡­¡± ¡°Excuse me, sir¡± Knight managed to squeeze around Daniel and out to Erin and the other Antinium ¡°The Dead are coming. Please remain inside. we will protect you with our lives.¡± Erin looked at him ¡°you? but who are you? Where¡¯s Pawn?¡± ¡°He is being kept in the hive by the Prognugator. he remains. But we have come. We have Chosen. We are individual.¡± ¡°Individual?¡± Knight nodded. in front of Erin, a worker turned. He Bowed to her, low, as far as his stiff exoskeleton would permit. ¡°I have chosen. I am Bishop.¡± Another Antinium turned, and then another. ¡°I too Chose. I have Decided. My Name is Vladimir¡± ¡°I am Calabrian.¡± ¡°I am Emanuel.¡± ¡°call me Garry¡± ¡°I wish to be known as Milner-berry.¡± ¡°Belgrade. I will die for you.¡± they spoke one by one, in the faint moonlight. antinium looked at Erin, all alike on the outside. But different on the inside, each one Individual. ¡°We will all die for you. I am Jose.¡± ¡°No, none of that. we have a fight in front of us and each of us must fight so that we can all live to tomorrow. If you believe in anything. believe in that.¡± Daniel had moved out of the ring of Antinium and had been scoping the approaching horde. ¡°There are more of them than there is of us, so we will have to be smart¡± And then the first of many zombie¡¯s appeared out of the darkness, one tried to take a bite out of Daniel¡¯s face. but got decapitated by Toren as he rushed past the Individual Antinium, he crashed into another 1.3 D Erin pov ----- Why do the dead try to kill the living? Is it hatred? Do they seek to defile the living, to drag them into the same unending torment of their lives? Do they envy those who still draw breath? Or is it a greater mystery? Do the undead simply want others to join them, to add to their endless numbers? Maybe, perhaps. The dead simply resent the living. Maybe they remember the past, and it hurts them. Or that they can understand the living and wish to ease their suffering. It could be they just know how ugly they are and don¡¯t want anyone to look. Erin screamed as an almost completely decomposed Gnoll came close. He had no face. Nothing that she would use that word for. Just¡ªrot. Horrible, black innards that still twitched and slapped together wetly as he lurched at her. A hand seized the zombie around the remains of his ruined head. Ignoring completely the flesh and other things that squelched around his fist, Knight tightened his grip until something crunched and the zombie jerked and fell still. The Worker dropped the corpse to the ground and kicked the body away. He stood, protectively shielding Erin at the entrance of the inn. Around the hill, the dead were struggling with the living. But there were no screams. At least, the Antinium did not scream. The dead did. They howled, or made ghastly sucking sounds or sometimes groaned, but the screaming was what terrified Erin. She felt they shouldn¡¯t be able to. The dead should be silent. But they weren¡¯t. If anything, it was the Workers who more closely resembled silent reapers. They moved in unison, fighting, blocking, forming a living line as they fought against the undead. Sometimes they spoke, but with a terrifying calmness of their own. ¡°Die.¡± ¡°Suffer.¡± ¡°Perish.¡± Two Antinium gripped a zombie by each arm and tore him apart. Another seized a skeleton with two hands and ripped out its ribs with the other two. They fought like machines. Uncaring machines that took apart the undead like a child taking apart legos. Sometimes it was a clean dissection. Other times they smashed the dead bodies to make them fall apart. But for all that, they were like children. None of the Workers knew how to fight. They were extremely strong, but clumsy. And the undead may have been rotting, but they were all killers. A Worker staggered back, arms grasping as a skeleton slid forwards, bashing at the Antinium¡¯s head with a mace. It nimbly dodged the Worker as it strove to seize a bony arm and raised its mace to crush the Antinium¡¯s skull. ¡°No!¡± The skeleton looked up and a flying frying pan crashed into its face. The yellow flames in its eyes dimmed and the Antinium took the chance to seize it. Erin watched the Worker begin to dismantle the skeleton and stared at her hand. She hadn¡¯t even realized she¡¯d thrown the frying pan. But more undead were charging up the hill towards the inn. ¡°Stay behind me, please.¡± Knight pushed Erin back as more undead crashed into the line of Antinium, this time from the back. The Antinium wavered as they struggled to hold the dead back. Erin saw one of the Workers slip and fall as a ghoul tackled him. The undead began tearing at him. He had a name. He¡¯d told it to Erin. Magnus. Magnus as in Magnus Carlsen, a name taken from the World Chess Champion. He fell down and Erin saw his blood. It was green. ¡°No!¡± She tried to run forwards, but Knight seized Erin by the waist and lifted her up. ¡°You must not. You must not put yourself in danger. We are here for your protection.¡± Magnus fell, shielding his face. Erin pulled harder, but Knight refused to let go. ¡°He¡¯s dying!¡± ¡°Yes. The enemy surrounds us. We are at a disadvantage. This must be rectified.¡± Knight pulled Erin back and raised his hand. He spoke calmly. ¡°[Defense Formation].¡± ¡®Bang¡¯ Daniel had shot the ghoul in its head with his gun, leaving Magnus to scramble behind the line. as the drake ghoul became unmoving once more ¡°[Attack Formation].¡± Erin felt the effects of the two Skills hit her as she raised another jar of acid and threw it. She felt lighter, so much lighter! And it seemed as though she had suddenly grown a pair of eyes on the back of her head. She was aware of the undead around her, just as she was aware of how the other Antinium were moving. They held the line. Even as the undead ran up the hill, the Workers met them, calmly ganging up on the individual undead in twos and threes. The Antinium had no sense of fair play, and the undead was hard-pressed to defend themselves against three sets of four hands stabbing at once. A ghoul rushed past two Antinium and ran towards Knight. The Antinium raised his sword, but a skeleton leapt past him and knifed the ghoul in the chest. Toren and the ghoul fell, stabbing and biting at each other. Erin spun. She lifted a pot and hurled it. A zombie staggered backwards. She had¡ªshe had quite a few pots and pans she¡¯d seized from her kitchen, but she was running out. She¡¯d hurled them into the crowd, trusting to her [Unerring Throw] skill. Daniel for his part had been shooting at any undead when they were close to overwhelming the line of antinium. Now the undead were falling, retreating. Erin stared as zombies began turning, running backwards. Was it a feint? Were more undead coming? She looked around wildly, searching for movement in the darkness. No. No more undead were coming for the moment¡ªthey were all dead. Toren pulled himself away from the ghoul, reclaiming an arm as the ghoul jerked once and then lay still. How many horrors had died here? A hundred? Two hundred? It felt like a thousand. ¡°Thirty-four.¡± Knight said it calmly as a skeleton fell down, skull cracked open from one of Erin¡¯s frying pans. She stared at the Worker as silence fell and the last corpse stopped twitching. ¡°What?¡± ¡°We have killed thirty-four of the undead. The rest have retreated. They will return in greater numbers, I believe.¡± Erin stared at Knight as the Antinium calmly cleaned gore off of his sword. Around her, the Workers were helping each other to their feet, carrying the bodies down, and¡­digging? Yes, the uninjured workers were digging in the ground. Dirt flew into the air as they dug a long, wide trench around the inn. They were building a moat. A moat. ¡°What¡¯s happening? What is all this?¡±Reading on this site? This novel is published elsewhere. Support the author by seeking out the original. Erin stared at the dead, at the Workers, and at Knight. She felt dizzy; sick. And not just from the carnage. Just a few moments ago she¡¯d been waiting for Rags, and now there were Workers with names and the living dead. And the smell. Erin threw up a little in her mouth but refused to let her stomach heave anything else up. Daniels pov ----- ¡°We need, more than a moat. get the rest of the tables from inside and the beds from upstairs, we can use them to make barricades¡± Daniel pointed out where he wanted the barricades and the workers who were not digging did as he told them. ¡°HEY TOREN, come here for a second¡± Toren stopped in his dismemberment of the corpses that had fallen around the inn and came towards Daniel. ¡°Okay, so you are the only one of us who can run around behind enemy lines, which if you do the job I have for you right, we might just stand a chance.¡± Toren followed Daniel as he walked into the inn, more specifically up to the bar. the bar that was very much filled with Things for Erin to throw Daniel took the bucket Toren had been collecting water with and placed it in Toren¡¯s pelvis. It was then fastened further with an extra bit of cloth. As he was working, Daniel told Toren what he wanted him to do. ¡°right so i want you to do what you have been doing up until now, however, if you see anything stronger than ghouls or zombies, I want you to prioritise those¡± Daniel was putting a lot of cloth into the bucket now alongside a dozen or so hand-sized bottles of fly acid. ¡°now if you are having trouble with those stronger ones, I want you to break one of these on them. like miss Erin does¡± When he was done packing the bottles into the bucket he looked at Toren¡¯s face. If the way Toren¡¯s eye fire had brightened, the Toren was Eager to follow this order. Great, Daniel had just invented a reuseable guided missle. ¡°do you understand this order¡± Toren nodded almost gravelly. ¡°Good, then I want you to go towards Lizcor until you find the other undead, advance with them as you cut them down¡± Toren just nodded and walked out the door, sword and knife in each hand. As Toren left the inn and Knight were comforting an Erin who was breaking down. Daniel laid out the ammunition he had brought with him from home onto the bar. he reloaded them as he listened to Erin and knight with half an ear. something about horns and a crypt, undead attack the city, a gate that hadn¡¯t been closed. In short the chaos of war. while Daniel had never been in active combat before, he had served as a radiographer for the Danish army and had been on a tour to Irak. which meant that he had been talking with several soldiers who had. soldiers whom he hadn¡¯t spoken to again. They had died. violently. ¡°Oh gods. there are thousands of them.¡± ¡°Hundreds. they are moving towards us.¡± Erin¡¯s words had brought him back from remembering dead friends, and Knights had brought him back to battle mode. never again ¡°hold on. What is that in the distance?¡± Erin and Daniel Both squinted. It was the white mass the undead were surrounding. At first, she thought it was just a bunch of them moving together, but it was something else. It was far away, but coming¡­closer? ¡°Is it¡­a giant slug?¡± ----- ¡°Oh god. What is that?¡± Daniel looked through his scope, it was a heavy one for all that it couldn¡¯t zoom much, it had another advantage. Night vision. so in shades of green Daniel could see the slug-like thing quite clearly, he could see how its ¡®skin¡¯ was that of The dead, how it pulled itself forward by its long thin arms. he moved his sight from ¡®the slug¡¯ to the hulking beasts that moved around it. Standing to people high, they towered over the ¡®regular¡¯ undead. with massive maws filled with broken and jagged teeth. ¡°come on, Toren where are you.¡± Daniel was sweeping the hordes of undead in search for the one undead that was on his side. They were getting close now. Suddenly the giant slug recoiled and clawed at its skin, it tore huge chunks of dead flesh from one side and then the other. ¡°where is, ha way to go Toren¡± ¡°Wha-what is happening ¡°Toren is what is happening, here take a look¡± Daniel gave the rifle to Erin so that she could have a look. ¡°I, what is he doing¡±. ¡°he was the only one that could infiltrate the undead so I gave him a bucket of acid and told him to take out the strongest ones he could find. the worm thing qualifies as the strongest thing¡± she handed the rifle back. ¡°but won''t he be destroyed like that?¡± ¡°Erin, if that thing gets here, it¡¯s over?¡± he sighed, ¡°but Toren is the only one of us capable of getting close to that thing, so¡­¡± the rest of what Daniel was about to say was whisked away as the horde of undead started sprinting towards their lines. ¡°Lorte lort¡± #Shitty shit. ¡°listen up we got deads coming in fast so ready for impact¡± the first to ram their moat and barricades where the faster ghouls, they clawed wildly as they were torn apart by the antinium. But every now and again they would score a hit, and an antinium would fall. by the time the ghoul''s ferocious charge had petered out and the moat had been filled with their corpses they were hit by the slower by more numerous skeletons and zombies. 20 Antinium had become 16. the worst of it was the crypt lords. As they lumbered forth, they spat poison from range that gradually weakened the workers to the point where the zombies and skeletons could take them out. Erin and Daniel did what they could. Erin throwing everything so could get her hands on and Daniel tried to shoot crypt lords that were coming to close for comfort. the rifle did little to deter them and the handgun was equally ineffective. only the shotgun could do actual damage to these horrors. a Screech rolled over the inn and both Erin and Daniel¡¯s gaze moved to the now much Closer Worm, as Toren tore out an eye from the thing. a Wave of absolute terror washed over David in a Crucial moment. As one of the few remaining Ghouls capitalised on Daniels frozen state, and clawed him across the face with one of its claws one moment, and Daniel could see no more. he felt chitinous hand grip him and drag him back. he was laid carefully on wooden floor. something was slouched against his face that made it sting like all hell. his hands rushed to his face. It was mangled beyond belief and every time he rubbed at a wound it seemed smaller until the wounds had closed fully. the ich was gone, but his sight did not return. ''How the fuck am I supposed to do this blind'' was the last thing daniel thought before he passed out.
