User blog:Darknessabove/The explorer, volume 1, chapter 1: Treasures and mayhem

The sun was bright, illuminating the sky as rays of light shone onto the ground below, the forest below being bathing in the light, creatures of all sizes going about their daily lives, peaceful, serene, beautiful.

"Stop there meat, your mine"

Cornered

The sudden noise caused creatures within hearing distance to scatter, birds fluttered away and any small creatures immediatly looked for the nearest place to hide as a young man ran through the thick forest, closly followed by a very angry woman, horns protuded from her head, which was covered in dark brown messy hair.

Light brown fur covered her legs up to her hips, there soft, lightly tanned skin covered the rest of her body, going up from her sizeable chest, which was barly covered by leather straps, which wrapped around a iron ring in the middle before they wrapped around her shoulders.

Her face had the same skin tone as her torso, deep blue eyes, which despite their soft color, belied her current mood.

With toned abs and muscular arms, which held a large axe, too heavy for a human to be able to wield, a long tail with a bushy end waved wildly, she was not in a good mood, the man she was chasing had just broken into a monster camp, stolen food and an artifact they had recently "aquired" from some order soldiers, humiliated the monsters on guard and then bolted, this wasn't some one she was planning on simply letting go, not when she hadn't been with a man for weeks, especially one that had the balls to break into a monster camp in the middle of the day, it was just unheard of, it made her wet just thinking about what she would do to this man once she got her hands on him.

That said, he had surprised her with his stanima, she had been chasing him for 15 minutes and had yet to tire, a feat considering he was human.

"If he as this much energy to run, i bet hes a wild one in bed" she though as she licked her lips, a sinister grin appearing on her face as she picked up the pace, he would tire soon, and when he did, she would wrap her arms around him... and her hands around other parts of him.

The man looked behind him, the minotaurus had not given up the chase, despite his attempts to shake her off by weaving inbetween the trees, if only he could break line of sight he'd have a chance to hide.

"Shes a persistant one, then again, monsters aren't known to be quitters" the man though to him self as he continued to run, panting heavily from the excersion.

The man stopped when he came to a clearing, which ended shortly in a sheer drop, below, more forest.

Looking down, the man saw that it wasn't a small drop, must of been a good 100 meters.

The sound of laughter behind him caused the man to turn around, the minotaurus was standing, smiling as she held her axe in one arm, undoing the straps on her chest, which fell down, revealing her very large chest.

"Getting a bit ahead of yourself aren't ya, you haven't even caught me yet" the man shouted, trying to keep eye contact with the minotaurus and not her chest, which was certainly very difficult if you took into account the size of both.

"I'm gonna put that energy of yours to much better use, meat" the minotaurus smiled as she walked closer towards the man, 10 meters seperated them and that gap was closing.

Over the edge

The man looked behind him again, he had rope, but there was no way he could set up a line before she grabbed him, he couldn't out run her at this distance and even if he did, he'd tire out long before she did.

The minotaurus got closer and closer until 6 meters was all that seperated them, stopping when she saw a smile creep on the mans face.

"I'm sorry, but your tits just aren't big enough for me, i'd rather that lovely holstaurus on the farm i came from a few days back, now she had a pair you could suffocate in" the man said, smiling as he licked his lips.

The minotaurus face changed from a confident smile to one of pure anger.

"You little bastard, i'm gonna make sure that mouth of yours is sore by the time i'm done with you" she said as she immediatly charged at the man, determined to pin him down and teach him that her breasts could easily rival any holstauruses.

In mere seconds she was in grabbing distance, her finger tips brushing agaisnt the mans clothing as he suddenly side stepped to the right, with her unable to change direction as she had put all her weight into the charge, not thinking about the drop that had cornered the man before.

"Shit" she said as she went over, gravity doing its job as she plummeted, the forest below getting closer as she put her arms infront of her face, hoping the fall would only break her arms.

Just as she was a few meters from the first tree, she came to a stop, she looked to see the tree in front of her, looking in disbelief, she looked up at her feet to see a rope tied around it, which extended up towards the cliff she'd just fallen down.

She saw the man at the top of it, with a big grin on his face.

"You enjoying your self there big tits" he shouted, which elicited a scowl from the minotaurus as she dangled there.

"You get down here you bastard and let me down from here and maybe i won't ride you so hard that your hips break" the mino shouted angrily.

"Well, i'll honor one part of that request" the man said as he drew a knife and started cutting the rope, the mino looked in shock but before she could say anything, the rope holding her up snapped, causing her to fall through the trees and branches below, hitting the ground below with a thud.

The mino got up after a few seconds, rubbing her head as she looked up, the man had gone.

"Dammit, i almost had him" the mino though to her self as she stood up, she was about to move when she heard the sound of shouting, which was promptly followed by a much louder shout.

"Look out below"

She heard the sound of snapping branches in the distance, but before she could investigate, a hornet girl landed by her, her spear at the ready.

"That man just jumped off the cliff with nothing to hold him up, he's a lunatic" the hornet lady said with a worried expression while the mino smiled, which confused the hornet lady.

"Why are you smiling Laura" the hornet lady asked, the mino, raising her eyebrow.

"This means the chase is still on" Laura said, licking her lips as she did.

Stolen Treasures

"Well, thats the last time i do that" the man said as he rubbed the back of his head, he was currently in a bush, which he had landed in after jumping from the cliff, the reason for him jumping off being the group of monster that had finally caught up to him from the camp, it was ether he tried to fight through them, or jumping, the second one would be much easier.....if riskier, but he did it and he was mostly unharmed, baring a few scratches from falling through the tree line.

"Well, its a good chance to see what i nabbed from that camp back there" the man though to him self as he opened up his back pack, taking out a small gold orb, which was encrusted with various jewels.

"Its fancy looking on the outside, but its the aura it gives off which is more interesting to me, must be a over decorated devil gem, i can certainly feel mana coming from it"

After observing it from all sides, the man put it back into his back pack.

"Well, it'll fetch a nice price if i can get to a nearby settlement, been needing some money to get my gear repaired, along with supplies" the man said to him self.

"Well you won't be having those worries for much longer, big bro" the man turned to face the source of the noise, barly having time to dodge the demonic energy ball aimed at him.

The man hit the dirt as he dodged, the ball of energy passing by as it hit a tree, saturating it with demonic energy, causing it to twist and turn as the energy corrupted it, giving it a new, more twisted form.

Observations

The man looked up to see a small girl...well....it had the form of a girl, but with furry legs, hoofs for feet and paws for hands, with long horns proturding from her head, this wasn't your typical girl, this was baphomet.

"Awww crap, it's the super loli" the man sighed, scrambling to his feet, staring directly at the baphomet, despite their small frame, they could easily go toe to toe with a dragon, mixed with powerful magical talent, they were one of the key figures in the demon lords army, not something the average, non blessed human would want to encounter.

The baphomet twirled a finger in her hair, shaking her body left to right as she stared at the man, grinning, moving her eyes up and down, scanning him, he was wearing a thick brown coat, which covered light brown trousers, a blue shirt, which seemed to be covering something underneath, possibly chainmail, due to the ring like impression on the shirt, she could not see his face however, where he wore the hood over his head, darkness covered the facial areas except for a single blue glow to the left of his face, most likely his eye.

"Some kind of enchantment" the baphomet though to her self, moving her eyes towards his hand, she saw him holding a dagger, with lettering carved into it.

"I can't let you go big bro, not after all that trouble you caused earlier" the baphomet said, walking closer towards the man, demonic energy gathering round her hand.

"I'm sorry super loli, but i've already got a little sister, which is ironic considering shes taller and more muscular then me, so i don't need a second one, besides, i'm into my well endowed women" the man replied, grinning, as his right hand disappearing into his coat before coming out again, his hand wrapped around something, the baphomet unable to tell what it was.

Tricksters cunning

The baphomet decided to focus on capturing the man instead of figuring out what was in his hand, after all, she wanted to throughly drill into the mans mind the depravity and charm of little girls and thus, began casting spells, firing at the man in sequence, but much to her surprise, he dodged, one after another, each spell fired at him.

"Not bad big bro, i'm liking you more and more" the baphomet said with a giggle before casting a new type of spell, a snaring spell, one that would be garenteed to catch him, black energy swirled just at his feet, erupting in a black mass around the man, though just before he was completely ingulfed, a dim light could be seen irradating from the man, along with her feeling the slightest surge of spiritual energy coming from him.

The baphomet smiled and giggled as she hopped and skipped towards the black mass, chanting a few words, causing the black mass to disappear, leaving the man standing there, his arms and legs bound by black chains.

"Now big brother, i'm gonna give you a really big hug before we get to the main event" the baphomet said with a giggle as she swayed her hips from side to side, but as she went to wrap her arms around him, rays of light started to erupt from him, followed by an explosion of light, blinding the baphomet temporarily.

"Ahhh, it hurts, big brothers being naughty" the baphomet shouted as she covered her eyes.

After a few moments, the light faded and the baphomet slowly uncovered her eyes to find the man gone, in his place, a small devil gem, along with a note.

"A little gift to remember me by, Garth" the note said, the baphomets face filled with anger.

"You can't hide from me big bro, i can sense your mana, i will find you, then, i'll make it so that you can't live without a monster in your arms" she shouted, before following the faint mana trail that was heading off into the forest.

After the baphomet left, a dark figure jumped down from one of the trees, it was the man.

"I probally shouldn't sign my name on those things, oh well, ain't like she's gonna find me any time soon, not with that little bit of bait i threw" Garth said, smiling as he walked in the opposite direction. "Still, for a monster as powerful as her, she sure was easy to fool with that little illusion of mine, guess it pays to carry excessive amounts of devil gems around for emergencies" Garth said to him self as he continued to walk, pulling a large piece of paper out from his back pack.

Skybound aggressor

"Okay, so if i've mapped this area out correctly, there should be a nearby river which i can follow towards the nearest town, which, while a monster held town, should none the less allow me to stock up on supplies" Garth though to him self, tracing his finger over the map as he did.

"Fuck, i'm hungry, i want to eat"

Up above Garth, a beelzebub was flying around, clutching her stomuch in hunger.

"Fuck, if only i had caught that man earlier when he broke into our camp, i could of filled my self to the brim with his fresh cream... ahhhh fuck" she shouted again, before a sweet scent caught her attention.

She sniffed, the scent filling her nose, it was the scent of sweat, one that caused her to start drooling and her nether regions to start dripping in anticipation, she looked down towards the scents source to find Garth looking at her, with a "oh shit" expression on his face.

"Dinner" she shouted as she dived towards him, Garth darting out the way before she could grab him with her claws.

Garth looked at the girl, typical of all beelzebub, her hair, which was a light purple color, was a complete mess, with to insect like anteena sticking out the top, giant purple wings came out of her back, the left set having a skull imprinted on it.

An insectiod abdomen protruded from just above her butt, while her legs had chitinous plating on them, though it was her arms which were particularly insect like, thin, chininous arms ran from her shoulders (her shoulders being covered in thick black fur), right towards what would normally be hands, instead, large, claw like hands with 3 "fingers" protruding from them, though it was her face which concerned Garth more currently, orange eyes glared at him, her face a beacon of pure lust and unending appitite, if he got caught by her, he knew he would not be getting away. The beelzebub charged at him again, using her wings to increase her speed in an attempt to get him, but again, he dodged out the way, which only served to frustrate her more.

"I only want to taste that thick, delicous cream i can sense inside you" she shouted, her eyes full of desire.

"Yeah, and i want a pet dragon, to bad life isn't always so fair love" Garth replied sarcastically.

Garth stared at her, there was no way he'd be able to out run her, much less hide from her, unless he could wash the sweat off his body, the stream he could hear nearby would be able to do that, but it would be useless if she knew he was there.

"Alright then, you say your hungry huh....well...i've got a treat for you then" Garth said smiling, which brougth a confused look from.

The beelzbub charged at Garth again, but this time stopped when he presented an apple to her, rotten to the core, with a maggot falling out of it.

"Don't worry, this thing has been left to rot for days, so its garrenteed to give a human food poisening" Garth said with a confident tone.

The beelzbub wasted no time trying to grab it, but Garth simply moved his hand away before she could grasp it.

"Give me... give me" she said, drool pouring from her mouth.

"You want it badly huh... then go fetch" Garth said as he threw the rotten apple, the beelzebub immeditaly shot after it, her speed would only give Garth a 5 second head start at most, but thats all he needed.

"So rotten, so smelly... sooooo goood" the beelzebub said as she devoured the apple, licking her chininous fingers as she did, before turning her attention back towards Garth's sweaty scent.

"and now... for the main course" she said with a grin on her face as she darted in the direction of Garth's scent, arriving at a river.

She looked around confused, the scent lead to this river, but Garth was no where to be seen, the beelzebub flew over the stream, trying to see if he was hiding underneath the water, but he wasn't.

"Where the fuck are you, you've made me this wet and hungry and now your hiding from me, i swear if you don't come out now, when i find you, i will drain yours balls so much that you won't be able to cum for a week" she shouted, before the scent of semen caught her nose, this caused her to get angry, yet, even hungrier then before.

"If you wanted to jack off so badly, you should let me at least feast on what comes out" she shouted, flying at full speed into the forest where the scent was coming from.

After she had left, Garth let out a sigh of relief, he was currently hding in one of the trees nearby.

"Christ, i really should of prepared more, considering i'm in monster territory, i haven't got any more of my "special packages" left to throw, though that one should hopefully draw any nearby monsters away from here, one of the perks from buying from the monster owned market, that you can get access to that kinda "fluid"... probally should bolt it before she finds out i tricked her" Garth mumbled to him self before jumping down from the tree, only to be met by a hand grabbing his throat.

Double trouble

Garth was shocked by the sudden attack, but as he calmed down and focused, he saw a familar face, it was the monitaurus from earlier, who had a trumphant grin on her face, though this time she had company with her, a hornet girl.

"I told you if we waited for him to jump down we'd catch him" the hornet girl said to the minotaurus.

"Well hello, Garth is it?" the mino said with a grin, causing Garth's eyes to widened, he had sensed something watching him earlier after escaping the baphomet, but being in monster territory, he had shrugged it off as paranoia, something he wanted to kick him self over right now.

"Well, i guess your smarter then you look, should of taken the offer from that bug girl earlier" Garth said, trying to elicit a grin, though the grip the mino held on his throat made air a bigger prioity.

The mino's eyes narrowed, an expression of anger appeared on her face as she threw Garth, causing him to fly into a tree nearby, the impact winding him as he gasped for breath.

"Cheeky bastard, i warned you what i would do if you ran your mouth off" the mino said as she nodded to the hornet girl, who darted towards garth, stabbing him with the spear she held onto, causing him to scream in pain.

Shock and awe

Garth clutched his side in pain, the spear had slashed his side, though the wound was light, it was what was coated on the spear, since hornets just loved to coat their spears in paralytic venom, which made their job of capturing men much easier.

"Well, before this paralytic takes full effect, its best i take an anti venom, after i'm done kicking your arse" Garth said confidently, rising to his feet, which shocked the mino and hornet.

"My queens going to LOVE it when i bring him back to the hive" the hornet said, readying for another charge, while the mino stood still, something about him just didn't sit right with her, minotaurus weren't known for brain power, but something in her gut was screaming at her, that he was dangerous.

The hornet girl charged at Garth again, but as her spear was about to slash him again, he stepped to the right and grabbed her arm with one hand, while the other barreled towards her, a devil gem in hand.

"This may sting a little" Garth said as he brought his fist to bare, hitting the hornet girl in the face, though the physical damage from the fist wasn't much, it was what came after, a bolt of lighting erupted from the gem, coursing through the hornet girl, causing her to quiver before going limp.

Garth let go of the hornet girl, who simply fell to the ground, her body quivering again occaisonally as she giggled.

"Wrong bloody gem, i meant to grab the one that contained a fireball" Garth said to himself, before going to grab another gem, only to be met with the minos axe, which he barely dodged.

"You may of taken out selena by surprise, but i won't give you the chance to use another gem" the mino said, swinging her axe again in an attempt to hit Garth, who was dodging, but with difficulty, not only was the venom taking effect more and more, some of the lighting had shot into him, which hadn't done him any favors.

Counterattack

The minotaurus kept up with her assault, swinging her axe left and right, trying to get one clean hit on Garth, every miss just pissing her off more and more.

"Just stand still you little shit" she shouted, Garth went to move out of her swinging range but found he couldn't move his foot, looking down, he found the hornet girl holding his leg.

"Paybacks... a bitch" she panted out as Garth looked towards the mino, who right now had a massive grin on her face as she swung her large axe with both hands, the blade hitting Garth square in the chest and catapulting him right over the river, hitting the ground and rolling on the dirt as he landed.

The mino looked pleased with the results as she walked over towards Garth, crossing the river, as the hornet girl got up, supporting her self on a nearby tree, she handn't quite recovered from the lighting burst Garth gave her earlier, though it hadn't hurt her, more, caused her body to flare up, simular to the effects of a thunderbird.

The mino stood over Garth, he wasn't moving, though he was breathing.

The mino picked up Garth, grabbing him with one hand and pulling his head up towards hers.

"Now lets see what you look like under that hood" the mino said witha grin as she folded the hood bakc behind Garth's head to reveal his face.

The minos and hornet girl stared in shock, they had expected a older man, considering how much havoc he had caused, but instead, they stared at the face of a young man, no more then 18 years old, short, light brown hair fluttered in the wind as the minos held his head, turning it from side to side, she saw tribal markings around his left eye, the same ones used by a group of amazonians a days walk from this forest.

"So, you escaped from an amazoness, thats a pretty difficult feat for a human, but don't you worry, i don't plan on handing you over to them, not after all the trouble you gave me" the minos said softly, she could barely contain her lust at this point as she brought her lips close to his.

"Just a taste, before you wake up" she said as she put her lips on his, before pushing her tongue into his mouth, the sensation causing her groin to become soaked with fluid as she closed her eyes, wishing to focus purely on the sensation of his mouth.

Suddenly, she felt him kissing back, opening her eyes, she found him staring at her, his left eye a bright blue, while his right eye was flickering with black energy.

"hmmmppp" she mumbled as she felt her strength start to leave her body, falling to her knees, she looked up to find Garth looking down at her, a massive grin on her face.

"That'll teach ya to try and steal a kiss without my permission" he said, though he wasn't in a great condition, he was panting heavily.

"What have you done, meat" she panted out, she tried to rise on her feet, but her body simply wouldn't do what she wanted.

"Well you know how you monsters drain spiritual energy, well, i just did the same to you, except instead of spiritual energy" Garth paused, a grin adorning his face, while the minos face was one of confusion.

"But thats... impossible, it can't be, your not a incubus, you can't feed on demonic energy" she replied, her voice sounded shaky and unsure.

"I never said i feed on it, i simply said i drained it" Garth replied, taking in a deep breath, trying to steady him self.

The minos quickly regained her composure and started to laugh, which got a look of curiosty from Garth before he started smiling again, which unnerved the mino.

"And before you think that you've marked me, i'm able to... tolorate a certain level of demonic energy, how do you think i can walk around in demon realms without sucumbing to the effects"

This statement caused the mino to just stare at him, her mind trying to process the information, something difficult for a species that thinks mostly about eating, drinking, sleeping, fighting and fucking.

Garth look away from the mino and towards the hornet girl, she was steadying her self, it wouldn't be long before she was able to attack him again, something he didn't want to risk.

"Well its been fun, but its time for me to bolt now, maybe i'll see ya around" Garth said as he turned around, casully skipping before stopping and turning around towards the minos.

"Btw, whats your name" he asked, the mino snapped outta her thoughs and answered without thinking.

"Laura" she said, before she realised what she said, causing her to look at the ground.

"Well Laura, ya tasted good, but i'd work on ya manners before trying to bed me again" Garth stated, though he quickly shut up and started running when the minos started getting up on her feet.

Onwards

Garth stopped running after a while, using a tree to hold him self up as he vomited.

"Tolorate demonic energy huh... can't believe i said that, any one with half a brain knows that there's no human alive that can withstand having demonic energy in there body, its a good thing i can at least filter it out" Garth said to him self weakly as he vomited again, black fluid pouring out of his mouth.

"I really need to find a new way to purge this crap from my body, can't be much harder then manipulating it for spell casting" Garth though to him self as he straightened him self up, staggering for a bit before he regained a normal walking pace, heading towards the direction of a monster village he had noted down on his map, intent on resting up and resupplying.

Determination

Laura and Selena sat on the grass where Garth had left them.

"Tough bastard wasn't he" Selena said, Laura barly acknowledging the comment, still spaced out from what happened.

"Hey, do you think what he said about him being able to tolorate our energy was true?" Laura asked, her eyes with a look of curisty uncharacteristic to minotauruses.

"I don't know, but he never said he was immune, so if he was pumped full of energy, he'd fall, like any other man" Selena said, applying more venom to her spear.

That statement caused Laura to grin, picking her axe up, she immediatly charged in the direction that Garth had ran off, Selena quickly grasping her spear and taking off, following Laura.

"When we meet again Garth, i'll make sure i'm the victor" Laura whispered to her self as she continued to sprint, she had tasted his spiritual energy, even if it was for a moment, but that was more then enough for any monster to be able to track down any man they desired.

Chapter 2

Index

Author notes:

So yeah, i'm back after some time, but thats not the important thing, what's important is what is going to happen with my fan fics.

As it is, the original fan fics (the explorer pre november the 5th and strange world) have been deleted, as per what jekkers was doing to clean up the sight and seperate officail material from fan fiction, during thsi time i looked at my fanfics and well, i was actually quite unhappy with what i did, many of the pages had grammar errors, the pacing was very fast (in the explorer pre november 5th, i had introduced about 6 different monsters in the space of 7-8 chapters) and overall, story structure just wasn't satisfying when i looked over it, to the point where i really wanted to do a complete rewrite, well, with the deletion and changes, it's given me that chance, especially with the explorer, since despite the title, he didn't do much... exploring (infact the monsters did more exploring... of his body).

So yeah, my plans are to do a completly fresh take on the explorer, the MC will still have his personaility intact mostly, but the pacing will be slower, permanent characters will be introduced more slowly, with more focus on character development then before, i want people to be able to read this and feel like the characters are alive... organic, who can change as the story goes on, especially the MC, who will be molded by the experiances he goes through, while doing more intensive grammar checks so its easier to read.

Update: 11-11-2014:

Okay thats chapter 1 finished, it turned out much longer then i though it would bge, but well, its set the stage, along with raising a few questions, but well, those questions will be answered another time.

Till then, darknessabove, signing off.

Btw critism is always welcome.
