Chapter 5 - The other candidates

While Jack was thinking about his race, the other candidates had also been watching as their creations lived throughout Ludum Mundi.

"Ah, what the hell man, how come 3 of my guys are already dead?"-Hector

"This is bull crap man"-Hector

[]Well, host the skills you chose have led your race to be more violent, but because they are so new and you had help to make them, they just can't match up yet[]

"But they were meant to be badass demon dogs that could rip out spines and eat hearts, not wild idiots"-Hector

[]You said it yourself. It is meant to be your future, but you did not think of the present more[]

"How many do I have left then 9?"-Hector

[]Correct all Candidates started with 12 of their species[]

"Oh, did they, but i thought people who went in the monster direction instead of a civilization way get a nest that they spawn from"-Hector

[]Yes, but you will only gain access to the nest once the 100-year period is over[]

"Well, that's stupid. Why?"-Hector

[]Well, host the[]

"No, shut up, that wasn't a question, your machine!"-Hector

Currently, in a magical-looking winter forest, a group of small blue creatures were staring at each other. The strange thing was they weren't a group, but they still stayed within range of each other as the frost fell.

"Hmmm, why aren't they being friends? Shouldn't they help each other?"-Nancy

[]No host they are currently wild creatures, though it is interesting that they seem to understand their problem. They are physically weak and small, so they stay near each other, maybe to increase the chance of survival. Like how prey animals stay together to decrease the chance of them being killed in groups and having more eyes watching around in case of attack[]

"Alright then, but will they eventually get to that point?"-Nancy

[]If they are lucky, then yes, maybe they will lay low and hide until they gain more intelligence or instinct, which the skill you chose seems to have helped so far[]

"Alright, but at least they still look kinda cute in a more wild kind of way"-Nancy

In a different environment, more specifically, the ocean, a skinny human-like creature, was currently swimming away from a large shark-like monster that was hunting it.

"Come, girl, you can do this. Just keep running. Don't stop!"-Ida

The aquatic creatures quickly swam towards a small crevice in a large piece of rock on the ocean floor. Before its skin started to change and camouflage to look like the rock.

The shark looked confused, wondering what happened to its prey it didn't waste any more time trying to find it and quickly left. The aquatic creature gave a type of smile before also leaving to get some fish.

"Yes!, I knew that skill was gonna be good"-Ida

[]It's a useful skill host. Let us hope they continue to survive[]

In a lush and beautiful forest that went on forever, a group of animals were blissfully lying around another creature. A small female with 4 wings that fluttered as she was flying through the air playing with the leaves and watching the strange animals.

For whatever reason, they liked her and would sleep near her and even sometimes share food, making the little lady's life very calm and happy.

"I'm glad it worked out how I wanted it to. I just hope they will harness the power that comes with it and can become truly formidable"-Gabriela

[]Host had gone down a unique path not many have tried, so I'm sure the viewers will be excited to see the outcome[]

"Dude, look at how radical these look they are kings of the sky"-Chase

Chase was talking about his giant owls as they were based on the biggest owl on earth. They were a sight to see.

Chase was currently watching one in its nest high up in a tree at least 150 meters in the air. The nest was the size of a bus with a decent amount of space.

If a normal person were to look down from there, they wouldn't see much on the floor, but the owl with its amazing eyes could see every little detail. This allowed it to snatch up small rodents and slightly bigger prey as well because of its increased size.

"I wonder if they could pick up a person or even if a person could ride them?"-Chase

[]I would say yes, they could with a wingspan of 12 feet, and the body is quite large, so I think it depends on the person[]

"Awesome"-Chase

[]But they are more likely to eat a human[]

"Wait, what?"-Chase

A small rodent was quickly running for its life as it was being hunted, and it didn't know where it was, which was the most concerning. It was just eating some food it found with some of its herd of 6 just eating while watching the surroundings. When one of them disappeared.

Then another two with the last screaming as it was being killed, the surviving 3 ran in one direction, but even then, two were still captured and killed. The worst part was they never saw it coming.

The reason for that was actually because what was eating them was up above not even in the air it was just tall, had eight legs, and 6 eyes.

It was a car-sized spider that crushed the bones of the rodent as the flesh slouched in its acidic mouth something truly horrific.

"This is gonna be a slaughter. My little beauties are gonna easily survive this"-Naya

[]They are quite effective host[]

In the deep swamp, a lizard-type man was walking through and seemed like a perfect fit for the environment. It had hard scales and sharp claws and teeth with a large tail that was beneath its spine and seemed quite content.

"This is boring"-Wagner

[]Well, host time dilation will start after a week, nothing to worry about. Besides, you should be glad none of your race has died yet[]

In the grasslands, there was a group of insects that looked like large ants, 7 of them were currently digging a nest while a larger insect stood by and watched. An odd thing was that the insects looked more like drones than creatures with wills of their own. While the others just watched them doing the hard work.

"My swarm is slowly coming together it's sad 3 died, but they are drones, nothing special more can be made"-Hyun

Back in the ocean, a truly monstrous being was swimming with the look of a king in its castle. As most of the weak aquatic fish stayed away, the creature in question was a large 9-foot-tall shark. It had some humanoid features with hands and feet but still had its shark features.

Such as a shark fin behind its head and some large shark teeth but also the gills, making it a truly enormous and impressive sight.

"They will be invincible in the water soon, and this planet's oceans will be mine"-Evaline

[]Indeed, host your future is bright. Well done in creating such an impressive race, but may i remind you there's more to the world than water[]
