MAZE - Chapter 910 - Taking over a city

########## Author's Note ##########
Hey everyone. sorry about the late chapter, I messed up the schedule of this one.
##############################


The moment the barrier dropped, the Alliance was ready to attack. They pretended to fire a weaker Elemental Meteor, as if they were running out of steam but instead attacked with a barrage of various spells, all aimed at the battlements of the city. Still, the humans were able to answer to the assault quickly enough to reduce th...

Energy Eater - Chapter 13 - Some have game

It took the rest of the morning to finish cleaning up the boar’s carcass. The meat was being sun cooked, and I made sure to put as much in the stone as I could. With some luck, the heat of the sun would start to boil the small amounts of fat left in the strips of meat that I was unable to remove and then drying it would be easier. Then again, if I didn’t have to worry about rationing, I might end up eating this entire boar very quickly. All this effort to make the meat last for a while mi...

Energy Eater - Chapter 12 - Between a rock and a hard place

My heart was pounding like crazy. It was hard to tell if that was just the adrenaline or my Body level was actually making the organ beat faster. Glancing towards the foot of the mountain, a part of me was expecting an Eater to appear. My best option was to run away. But… this mutated boar could have a good skill for me. Maybe it would help me to get out of this place, and there was that feeling of particles getting back to my body.

But the Eater…

Shit, shit, shit. What do I d...

MAZE - Chapter 909 - Operation's End

‘Left or right?’ Nimbus asked.

‘Right,’ Viper replied as they all turned to follow the path.

The Alliance was able to get a map for the city, but the blueprint for the actual power station was a different story. They tried their best, but the intelligence agency was only able to find the manual for operating the controls. Considering how much time they had to gather all the intel, that was already impressive.

But this created a problem for Nimbus, Lurize, Viper, a...

Energy Eater - Chapter 11 - Dwindling Supplies

#### Author's Note ####
Hey everyone! Sorry about the delay on this chapters, my dumbass scheduled it for the wrong day.

##################

My next couple of days were mostly the same. Only two things of note happened. First, despite not needing to drink as much water, I noticed that my food intake was significantly larger than before. Maybe because I spent almost the entire day using {Body Regeneration} to fix myself up. Or it had something to do with the h...

MAZE - Chapter 908 - Enter the power plant

“Hera, do you have any news about your court?” Kaela approached the Ophidianite.

“Nothing after the signal that they crossed the barrier.”

The Scoutmaster looked at her watch, “They should’ve arrived at the power plant by now. Maybe something went wrong.”

“Could be, but I know they are still around. If they were destroyed, I would know.”

“All of them are still alive?”

Hera nodded, “Yeah. I can’t tell if they are too injured or not, but i...

Energy Eater - Chapter 10 - Only one thing to do

It was still dark out when I opened my eyes. At first, I just turned around and tried to go back to sleep, but after tossing and turning for what felt like hours, I gave up.

‘System, what time is it?’ I asked, hoping to hear the good news that the sun would go up soon.

[System is unable to give accurate information about current time.]

‘What? Why not? Aren’t you also a personal assistant that can keep track of those things?’ while I frowned, I also got to my feet a...

Energy Eater - Chapter 9 - Tell me about skills

Once it was clear that no one else was around, I had nothing else to do besides staying in the cave and recovering. It didn’t hurt to move anymore, but my body still felt stiff. This was likely due to the massive scar covering most of my stomach. Even my belly button was gone.

With a sigh, I sat back down away from the entrance, making sure I couldn’t be seen from the outside. A bit before the end of the cave, there was a small tunnel leading to an opening to the left. That would le...

Energy Eater - Chapter 8 - What can the System do?

[Wa….]

[…..ng]

[Warning]

[Warning]

[User Cassandra must wake up.]

The System’s voice woke me up, but I still felt really tired.

“What? Why?” I asked out loud with a groggy voice, my jaw no longer stuck. 

[User must use the skill {Body Regeneration} immediately.]

“Why?” I still felt woozy, being woken up out of nowhere wasn’t fun.

[User currently has internal bleeding. System was unable to identify...

MAZE - Chapter 907 - Crossing the City

After having killed the general, or whatever the rank of that human was, the titled blades rushed out of the gym while back in their weapon forms. They couldn’t waste any more time. Leaving through a window on the opposite side of the building, they floated down and continued following the path they set up during planning. The entire city had been evacuated to a few bunkers that were used during rampages. Anyone who was outside was a member of the human army, which made things easier for th...

MAZE - Chapter 906 - Dirty Job

On the edge of the forest, just a few meters before one of the craters, there was a small opening. One that led to a massive hole in the ground. That was a path to an underground water source that was constantly being cleaned by the treatment plant of the city. When looking towards the canal, they could see a tunnel made out of large pipes. Those were wide enough for the group to walk on their bipedal forms, but they still decided to continue like they were now. It was better, just in case th...

MAZE - Chapter 905 - I can do this all day

The Alliance army arrived at the camp, the families cheered and quickly set themselves up to leave. Hera was still in the healing tent and she was feeling better, but it would take some time for her to be back in peak condition. Her court, on the other hand, was mostly ready to go. Only Crimson was still too injured to come out, which also meant that Viper was out of commission as well.

Helena was with her cousin, helping everyone get their belongings, mostly clothes, to leave. They wo...

MAZE - Chapter 904 - Friends for life

One hour after the battle was over, people were already preparing for a possible second wave of attacks. It wasn’t entirely out of the realm of possibility, but it was something that everyone hoped wouldn’t happen. According to Kaela’s intel, the humans were now focusing on defending their own city, and no large groups had been seen moving around. Even then, the Scoutmaster told people to remove the bodies from the traps, and reset the ones that could be reset. Not so much because she w...

MAZE - Chapter 903 - Defense successful

The two Soldiers of Strength were bringing up the rear of the attack. It was hard to tell why the humans thought that to be a good idea. Maybe the hope was to have them cleaning up after the rest of the army, or to tire out the Alliance before coming to deal with whoever still remained or who proved to be a problem. Either way, they were now gone, and that also created ripples across the battlefield.

Hera wasn’t able to help with that final wave of enemies, then again, she didn’t ha...

MAZE - Chapter 902 - Soldier of Strength

As soon as Livy called, Hera rushed over. She got by the Leviathan’s side in time to see her being kicked in the stomach by one of the humans, pushing her back several meters. Even if the man had to jump to hit her properly, the blow still had enough force to force Livy to make a large drag mark on the ground.

Hera jumped to her side, holding the two hand axes as the two humans stared them down.

‘Are they stronger than you?’ the Empress asked Livy, through her intention it ...

MAZE - Chapter 901 - Relentless Assault

Even with the combo of Livy’s tidal wave, the wall of bodies that was created because of it and the traps that were still active, the humans didn’t give up. While they dealt with the monsters who turned against them, the creatures that still remained in the valley continued pushing towards the camp. All alliance members who were capable of long range attacks fired everything they had at the remaining wave of monsters. Everyone had hopes of killing those beasts before they triggered the la...

Energy Eater - Chapter 7 - What is the System

Walking was rough, even with the walking stick. The main problem was that the pole was too heavy. Well, no. That’s not true. I wasn’t struggling to move the pole as much as I expected, but my wounds were holding me back. The scarred tissue that covered my stomach was able to save me, but it was far from being in a healthy state. Large movements would put too much strain on the damaged muscles that covered my torso. Still, I didn’t have another option.

Slow and steady wins the race...

Energy Eater - Chapter 6 - The first human user

The following events rushed by my mind in a flash. This time, it was clear that they were not happening, but were memories. I saw the eaters still moving after the explosion. My frenzy in trying to escape. The moment Pops, Michael, and Vanessa were revealed, thanks to the lightning. When I attacked the Eater. When it came after me. My tumble after trying to dodge its attack. Seeing the monster broken and bruised before it jumped towards me. The moment my stomach was pierced. And how I died…...

Energy Eater - Chapter 5 - My last birthday

After class, the kids’ parents came to pick them up. Usually, that was something that would only happen to Penelope or PJ. All the other children could go back on their own. After all, the village was tiny. It would be impossible for any of them to get lost while going home. Not to mention it also gave them some sense of independence, and the sooner they got that, the better.

However, after seeing the Eater, I warned the parents about the topic of today’s class. The old world. They ...

Energy Eater - Chapter 4 - The old world

I walked inside the classroom with a tray full of cookies. It took a lot of effort to make this, and some ingredients were hard to come by. The only reason why we could have warm meals without worrying too much about the fire was because of a cave in the village where a hot spring was located. Pops managed to make an 'oven' of sorts, rigging the water to pass through some pipes. But that was about it; not only was it a tiny pool of water, being just 40 centimeters across, or 15 inches, but al...

Energy Eater - Chapter 3 - Before the storm

I woke up at the crack of dawn as usual. Pops had made a setup with mirrors on the top of the house that made the light of the sun become a natural alarm clock. Or at least that's what he called it. I've only seen alarm clocks in movies or shows. They were too noisy to be used in the village; more specifically, they were too artificial to be used here.

At some point during the war, the Eaters learned to differentiate between natural sounds, like a waterfall or a tree falling, from the o...

Energy Eater - Chapter 2 - The calm

"Can you pass me the potatoes?"

Pops voice sounded muffled, as if he was speaking underwater. Or maybe I was the one who was underwater. But everything was so dark, so calm.

"Can you pass me the potatoes?" his voice sounded louder, but still muffled. I was feeling warm. Was I cold before?

"Cass? Can you pass me the potatoes?" his voice finally was able to snap me out of my stupor.

Blinking a few times, I tried to get my bearings. For some reason, I had no memory about ...

Energy Eater - Chapter 1 - My final moments

The explosion almost knocked me out, but I managed to push through. That was our last resort. Our hail Mary, our light at the end of the tunnel. From what anyone knew, it’s been decades since the last time a blast like that hit an Eater. Maybe there was enough time for them to have lost the way to defend against missiles like they had in the past. Or maybe this group wasn’t capable or surviving something like that to begin with.

Either way, I kept running as the pouring rain flew at...

Energy Eater - Prologue

########### Author's Note ###########
Here we go! A small heads up, the prologue is not a mandatory part of the story. If you are not the type who enjoys reading about the worldbuilding, skip to the next chapter. But here some questions will be answered, and more of them will be created. To me that's a plus, but again, feel free to skip ahead.

HERE COMES A NEW STORY! ENERGY EATER

Hey everyone!

It’s been a long time coming but my new story is finally getting started! And before anyone freaks out, MAZE is not going anywhere, it will still be posted 4 times a week like usual.

I’ll give you a synopsis of Energy Eater and tell what to expect.

Synopsis:

It’s been 50 years since the fall, 50 years since the year of the Eaters. The last few members of the human race now live simple lives in hidden villages. Some are happy, some a...

MAZE - Chapter 900 - Human attack

The first group of humans rushed towards the camp with everything they had. Sure, they could see the defensive structures, arcane turrents and walls placed by the entrance, but that was it. All the traps, ditches, and spell circles the Alliance created were hidden. If this was a regular fight, then people might be wary of that kind of thing. But according to Tania, the human propaganda machine was flaring at all cylinders. People were saying the other species were lesser, stupid, unable to ma...

MAZE - Chapter 899 - Protect the camp

A couple of hours later, the biggest parts of the defense were already set up. Aside from the crafters, who were still making various structures to help with any incoming attacks, the rest of the team focused on resting. Every extra second they had to recover their energy could make a difference in a prolonged fight. And since no one knew exactly how long any attacks on the camp would be, they were all preparing for the worst.

Their plans also had changed a lot. Initially, they were go...

MAZE - Chapter 898 - Defensive Measures

Once they were inside the mines, Alan explained to Helena what they were doing. As the fight started, some of the people working in this area rushed here to hide. They had the option of going to the one on the opposite side of the valley, but it was more dangerous there. According to the man, monsters would occasionally get inside the tunnels, and that didn’t happen here.

After arriving, some of the people who didn’t come with their families, or the ones that were brave enough, wou...

MAZE - Chapter 897 - Elite guards

‘Did you two notice that this kind of thing keeps happening to us?’ Nimbus jumped back, parrying a strike that came from one of the three humans the trio was facing. He was now a few steps away, getting a moment to breathe.

‘Do you mean the fact that even with all these people fighting we somehow, get the undivided attention of three of the strongest guards in the camp?’ Lurize pushed a man back after blocking his sword. To follow up, he went for an upward slash with his Zweih�...

MAZE - Chapter 896 - Hostage Camp

While waiting for Kaela’s signal on top of the plateau, Hera approached Helena, “As soon as we land, go after the people. Don’t try to fight, it’s easier for you to move around. Just grab as many as you can and try to hide in a safe location.”

“Yes ma’am,” Helena chuckled, “Sorry it’s just a bit odd having you looking out for me. It was the other way around.”

Hera nodded, “Yeah, but just because I couldn’t do much to help you. Not because I didn’t want ...
