Tales Of Mc - Chapter 6

I checked my Item Box. The contents were,

{

Clothes x(12)

Water x(20 containers)

Cooked Meat x(500 slices)

Dry Rations x(1200 packets)

}

My money was also,

Copper Coin x(100), Silver Coin x(100), Gold Coin x(10)

By now I had eaten a bit, and decided to begin my journey. So I turned west and started walking.

Let me tell you something about walking in a desert. In deserts, the sand is of a dull, sometimes vibrant red colour. It could heat up like hell during in the day, and cool down to very low temperatures during the night.

None of this affected my much. Due to [Fortify], I couldn’t feel any discomfort from the sand. What actually annoyed me was the bloody dunes. It increases your travel time if you walk around them, so the easiest option was to climb over them.

But when climbing the slopes would affect the speed, and slow you down. This would again decrease the travel time, but not as much as when you’re going around them.

I continued like this for two days, walking over dunes and resting on top of a dune at nighttime. I actually didn’t need to rest but felt like it makes me quite normal when think about my Abnormal Cheat Skill.

But the dunes started getting on my nerve. I had to climb over 200 a day, to keep going forward.

But, finally I had an idea.

“Hey Indy, you said I can store anything in a six feet radius right?” (MC)

<< Yeah, why? >>

“Bwahahahahahaha, I’m a genius” (MC)

<< What the hell is wrong with you? >>

“Indy, open my item box… you’ve got a show to watch” (MC)

With my Item Box opened, i started running.. and every where I passed, the sand above ground level was getting sucked into my Item Box in a 6ft radius around me.

I began to run right through dunes.

“hahaha, Indy, are you there?” (MC)

She didn’t talk for a while. But then,

<< To use an item box like this, you’re either a genius like no other or a thundering buffoon. >>

“hahaha, no one can stop me now!” (MC)

I underestimated the power of flags…. even as I raised a huge one.

Just as I spoke, the sand burst apart right in front of me. A huge dust coated dragon like monster, exploded right out and headed straight for me.

<< Whoa, a Sand Wyrm. >>

It’s speed was really high, and rammed straight into me. I flew back like a stone thrown against a train and landed far away on a dune. Due to my Item Box being open, the dune began to sink in and then I began to fall through the sandy floor. I closed the Item Box, and tried to climb out, but couldn’t find any footing.

“Indy, what the hell is going on?” (MC)

<
It’s a monster found in this desert. By ranking, Its an upper C-class monster, and would need a C-Rank party to subjugate it.>>

As I tried to climb out, the Sand Wyrm, raced over again and rammed into me. It could move like a fish in water, and I was sinking like a rock thrown in an ocean. The worst part was, it didn’t give me a moment even to climb up and find my footing.

<< It’s using an innate skill. >>

“What?”, I almost swallowed sand.

<< [Quick Sand], it converts immediate surroundings to quick sand, and traps it’s prey inside it. Then after the prey loses strength, it moves in for the kill. >>

“Wait, kill! Nooooooooooo!” (MC)
