It was late. The sun was beginning to bleed out and he had no energy to keep on. To make the matter worse he fell in the worst possible place he could of. Before him laid a soless body impaled from a huge sharp rock. Headless. His head nowhere to be seen.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oF1MLwCB1
He was in a huge site of death called *The Pit* (in the native language). It's tunnels so vast and ginormous that expanded through the whole world.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbRMAEcB73
They were massive craters which were created maybe millions of decades before and they had overpassed the life of most beings on earth. They reached so deep inside the core of the earth that you could find hundreds of cave systems.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGLhytbZB5
A ordinary human wouldn't be able to survive and get out of there alive. Inside of these pits laid creatures of the night and if you had just typical average human capabilities you wouldn't wanna cross one of them.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJbllpDoOv
But not Eleonad D'right. He was a browned eye, black haired man in his 30's, 6 ft 2 with 85 kg of pure muscle and manly jaw. He always had his sword with him and he didn't go anywhere without it in his possession not just because it was a necessary item to fight unwanted threats but looks like it was a aerlume that was passed from his family through generations.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDH144UVBH7
The Pits were not to be reckoned with even for the most skillful of fighters. But Eleonad had been trained since he was a small child on the art of beast hunting and has adapted in almost every situation possible of every creature seen and encountered by a man.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNxRWqZigy
He was a one man killing machine with enhanced human capabilities, great strength far superior of that of a normal human being, agility and speed.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH1sO2fYa9
Eleonad was also a master swordsman
and had more then 25 years combat experience, but probably the most notable martial art he possessed was monster hunting or as called Ascension.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZM2upxTkI
Ascension was a variety of old martial art techniques which was focused on hunting down or defending against various types of creatures and fighting arts. In order to achieve and fully acquire this art you had to go extensive training in many numerous monsters, settings and situations.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYlviQUbeV
Getting back on track Eleonad had spend 2 days inside these particular pit and was exhausted to death after repeatedly fighting distinct types of beasts.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW8J6Lhywh
He had enough food and resources to last for 1 more day and so he was not eating properly and didn't have sufficient nourishment to keep up with the creatures he was encountering.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakTDleaVel
To put it simply the human body needs food to operate. Food gives the body the necessary energy and has the proficiency to heal. Of course a normal healthy human can go 3 weeks without food but water was another problem.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHAacCvWYO
He had drained every single bit of it and had only 3 days to get out of the pit to survive. The human body can survive up to 3 days without water, after that it shuts down.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIdjyog44T
Of course this was not a lightly taken task because to get out of these pits was not easy even for the most experienced "Osgard" (How a Monster Hunter was called on the native language).
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NcIMFlrwT
On average you could get out in 12-15 days because of the mostly narrow and almost labyrinth style of construction that they had. But you could do it for less or more time defying on the circumstances.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCiDpa7s9l
These Pits had different paths and corridors which were called:
Entrances and Clearings.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ2BklOEyZ
Entrances were dark sometimes tight corridors and caves with ridiculous number of creatures and were obviously taken if it was exceptionally necessary or as a last resort.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5N6MwLAss
Clearings were spacy parts of the pit which had a huge advantage, the light of the sun was able to reach. In order to survive you would have to stay the furthest amount on time in these sections.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMknz5I1s7
The only down side was that when the night falls or the creatures come out of the caves and wonder around freely. The best course of action in these kind of situation was to find a hiding place and lower your heart rate so that they wouldn't sense your presence.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF1KgO3alz
The first few days that's exactly what Eleonad did. He mainly traveled at day until night fell.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lt3v4uqUr
At day time he would cover the longest amount of traveling and at night he would reduce it until was not safe to travel anymore.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpd6BfE56hm
The night consistently were occupied from huge number of creatures who would multiply as they got out of their dens.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0yokgHqvz
So he used mediation and breathing techniques which were executed for using the least amount of energy and lowering heart rate and blood pressure. That was fundamental for full capacity precision during day time since sleeping wasn't an option because he had to be wary for surprising monster assaults.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjZAfdqsAp
Eleonad walked for exactly 2 hours until he neared 2 pathways. In the right pathway he was able to determine that it had no air circulation after at least 150 m.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNwjBJOuvx
Master's are able to sense monsters in a radius of 150 m and since he was not able to sense any of them after 150 m he determined that the air circulation was limited thus no chance of survival. Although less monster equals good, the oxygen was required for survival.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvDCsZIBJf
From the left pathway came a strong breeze of cold air and had monster tracks alongside the entrance. Monster tracks often consisted of human remains, blood, scratches, huge nests etc.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklYsbwKg3X
He passed into the left one and arrived to the first Clearing in which he had to meditate and lay low for at least 10 hours until daylight provided passage. If he moved he risked of being a target of nearby monsters so he stayed in place until morning.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcivr62hMKx
Finally he arrived at his first monster nest. This one was consisted of Giant Spiders. The only way to kill them was by conflicting huge amounts of damage to the body or decapitation.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL13c9lbhSY
These kind of spiders weren't any different from the normal one's but of course they varied from anywhere to 3-10 meters long. Their food consisted of large animals, birds and even humans.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1JnciGb2f
The best way to survive was to pass them undetected but considering the large amount of them through the passage that was not an option.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWCaUYS70N
Eleonad had to slaughter enough spiders so he could open up a path through one of "The Entrances".
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xeKRHeSAe
He got his sword ready on the right hand and on the other he had a metal glove with spikes along the fingers which was used to perform extra damage.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOeGDW5k3c
The first spider was a 2 meter one, he could easily catch it off guard and cut his head right of with his sword and that's exactly what happened. But this was not going to work with the other bigger spiders.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KqyvOPFU8
The bigger ones had thicker and harder exoskeletons and it had to be weakened first before dealing the killing strike. The other spiders were alarmed by the sudden extermination of one of their kind and begun to attack Eleonad.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVrfXoCVZH
First a 4 meter spider with big fangs like claws tried to bite the lower part of his leg and another 3 meter one tried to bite out his arm. But he quickly got out of the way inflicting massive damage to the 3 meter spider cutting out 2 of its legs and doing a jump flick dodging the 4 meter one.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ504Yiri6V7
Because of this action the bigger spider accidentally stuck his fangs to the other damaged smaller spider. Like all spiders they had the ability to inject venom on their prey quickly killing them so they could devour their prey easier.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jfl829BJG
Even so they were immune to their own specific venom, so in order to create an antidote you had to kill the spider who bit you and inject their hemolymph to the blood stream, because of this a spider wasn't immune to a other's venom.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLGUWNbpD7
Fortunately the 3 meter one had taken a enormous bite to the sternum making it immobilized.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMtVcShpLF
The fangs of the 4 meter spider were stuck to the thick exoskeleton of the spider that it had bit and Eleonad wasn't to take this opening for granted.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdjoblkaB5
He rapidly rushed and jumped to the spider's sternum and decapitated with 3 instant sword swings as the spider screeched in pain.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWluLn0kp0
"Shit" Eleonad cursed.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBtlBp0JQt
A 10 meter spider appeared. It's fangs were at least 1.5 meters long and 1 meter thick. The exoskeleton was at least 5 times thicker and stronger, so if he was able to land an attack it would probably break his sword. Most of the 10 meter spider web's were toxic, if it would touch living tissue it would instantly burn it off.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcseZHJJ3Qo
Eleonad was strong but he knew when to back out of a fight. The only way to escape without being seen was to wait out for the spider to look for another hunting place.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sCmJYkzE9
He had no place to hide, expect inside the body of the other exterminated spiders.
"Fuck me" he sighed as he removed his clothes and cut the spider open to get inside.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmUqOfWhnF
After 8 hours of nice relaxing sleep inside the spider he got out and wore his removed clothes and begun once again walking through the never ending pit.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIV0Dm3thh0
His food and water stock was depleting and he had to find the quickest way to get out. First he had to find a water supply.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UA66onm4R
The solution was simple he had to find vegetation (trees, plants etc) and he had to dig a few feet in the ground to find running water. Of course after extracting the water he had to purify it. You could do that by setting a fire. After setting the fire you'd have to boil the water until it had rolling bubbles. Then after letting it to cool you have drinkable and purified water.
143Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9rhROjyqN
That's exactly what he did after finding a small garden of plants. The amount of water that he gathered was tiny but it had to do for the remainder of the trip.
