----------

A.N: This chapter is filled with info dump and some time skips

Also I use Grammarly on this one hopefully it's a lot better than previous one, although I need to change phone since I can't find it in play store on my main phone

----------

It has been some time now since I've been here, maybe it has been 3 years ago that I have my first hunt. 

I remember that day very well, how I struggled to skin it, how I struggled to make a fire pit, and how bland and yet how delicious it is for me cause I know I can survive on my no matter how hard it is. 

I remember I cried while eating it, the realization I will never taste my mom's cooking again, never have a yelling match with my father again thinking that I know more than him yet here I am realizing that I know so little about life and struggle. 

Never fighting with my big brother at one moment and then having fun together the next day, never playing and making fun of my little sister and threatening the boys that will be in her life. 

But at least I can stand back up and make up my mind to focus on survival, no matter what it takes. So I start scavenging, gatherings everything that I can use. 

The next few days I keep hunting in the morning until the sky started getting darker, sure not every time on my hunts that I succeeded like my first day of hunting, but at least it make me learn more and more about what to do and not, how to make my step lighter what to bring and not. 

On my 15th day, I encountered a giant Kelbi which I failed to give a fatal blow, and instead of running away like I first thought, it turn around and keep attacking me, trying to impale me with its giant horn. That day was the second time I struggled with life and death from an attack.

Yet that same day I noticed something, my injuries heal faster, sure not to the point of having regeneration powers like some characters, but it takes only a few days to heal a gash on my arm.

'I was wondering if it was just my imagination that I am stronger and have more stamina, I'm in a running club and parkour community before that's why I know my limit very well' 

It's funny how I got transported against my will and yet I gain something from it, sure it's not like those golden fingers I read in fanfictions and novels but at least I got something which I'm sure it's from that lake underground.

I learn many things since then, from creating stuff, sewing, cooking, looking for traces, making traps, and more.

On the 34th day, I start exploring deeper and deeper into the surrounding forests, I start gathering all kinds of plants, fruits, and nuts to see if any of them can be used as spices or not.

I try to find if they have some particular smells that maybe I smelled before, wrap some of them on the meats, use some for cooking, boiled them in water.

I start drawing and making notes in my notebook of what plants are working, their tastes, and their smells.

Some of them even have some weird effects that make me see stuff and all that.

I have my fair of fights with creatures around here, gathered scars from each hunt and expedition, and found some body of water after following some weird blue monkeys. I even found a lot of crashed spaceships there along with corpses.

But right now, here I am on a branch of a tree, wearing jet-black leather armor with a jet-black coat with hoodie, red sash, metal vambrace and glove, and metal greave that I take from the soldiers' corpses. Overall I looked like someone came from Assassin's Creed or someone trying to cosplay as Connor. I try to use armor but I find it's slowing me down when I try to freerun in the forest.

I have a small axe or Tomahawk on my right, a few throwing knives on my left that are coated with narcotics, jagged knives that would make sure to bite into the flesh that connected with a rope on the end, and a spear.

Honestly, most of my equipment and tools are inspired by that game.

So what am I doing here? I was waiting for my prey, I have been hunting this thing for days now. I have watched its habits, again and again, what its favorite food is, and where is the nest.

A few times I have a close call with this thing, but now I remembered everything about it. So here I am waiting patiently while looking at the bait down there, an adult Kelbi freshly hunted.

I keep crouching here patiently and calmly while focusing my ear to hear everything around me.

'here it is' the moment, I heard heavy steps, I crouch lower while holding my spear tightly and sure enough, that thing came from between the trees, the same bastard which hunt me down when I came to this place.

'this bastard is confident enough that nothing will challenge him and doesn't even look around to find anything suspicious' the thing keeps walking leisurely without a care since it is the apex predator in this place.

'come on...' as it's coming closer and closer, I readying myself to jump it while watching it calmly. If it was me from 3 years ago, I'm sure I would start panicking and doubting the plan, but not the me that is now.

As that thing starts feasting and as I planned that my position would be right above its back, I immediately start running along the branch while holding my spear tightly before I jump toward that thing while holding my spear right above my head with both hands.

But that thing immediately lookup, and sure enough, its instinct is great as that thing immediately tries to dodge.

So instead of stabbing its head, I stab it straight on the shoulder, the bastard roared so loudly as it moves around violently I immediately pull out one of my throwing knives and stab it right at this bastard before I got thrown off to the ground.

As I finished rolling, I immediately stand up and take off my Tomahawk from my waist and get ready for plan B.

'No matter, I know it wouldn't be that easy' after all, all according to my calculations 

------------------

CHANGE OF POV 

------------------

It recognized its self as the strongest.

It is the apex predators, the ruler of this place and nothing- NOTHING dare to challenge it 

When it came, other weak things will run away immediately. When weak things is preying on another weak things, they immediately run away leaving behind its prey, for everything is rightfully owned by itself.

For it is unique, one of it's kind on this place. But if there's one thing that it despite is those black metal two-legs with their light spawning box and if it not because of those two yellow eyes two-legs with light stick and their weird feelings, it will slaughter all of those black two legs.

But that furless yellow eyed do something to this great one without even touching it while the long fur one only watch, although it wonder why it's fur only on the head.

They tied this one with those steel before they put it into the flying box before all the shaking start and it find itself on the ground once again. So it start slaughter all of those black metal two-legs.

But all that is memories from distant past, along with when the sky turn to red, for the first time on that day this great one run away to hide, when those flying box start coming down from the skies, where those feathered two-legs fighting against the white metal two-legs.

At that time all it need to do was wait, and the weak feathered's female and cubs start running to the forest and it have great feast. At least until the skies filled with those small flying box before every thing turn red and fire rise high.

After that, it never seen those two-legs again no matter where it go, except that time when it see one of those two-legs, a young one yet it run fast.

*Sniff* 

Right when it is thinking to hunt something as it walk around it's territory, it smelled blood 

As it walk toward where smells came from, sure enough it see the source, one of those little weak things and yet have the sweetest taste, it's favorite.

It's look like what killed left it behind, sure enough terrified of this great one, when it see the body it can't help but wonder what weak thing killed this thing since there's a deep hole on it's body.

No matter, that weak thing know it's place. But somehow it's taste a little bit… Different?

Suddenly, it feel something from above, as it turn to look what it is, it's instinct scream at it to dodge before it feel it…

PAIN!!

As it look what caused it, which weak thing challenge it 

"Yo asshole… Remember me?" 

It can't understand what it say but it know this thing challenge this great one

It recognized this one, anger filled it's body as the two-legs that once runaway from this great one now dare to challenge it.

"You still look ugly as before huh… No matter, it's time for the hunter become the hunted"

"ROAAAARRRRR!!!!"

Hopefully this chapter is better than the previous one since I use Grammarly, but I need to change to other phone since I can't find it on play store on my phone.

Bab 8: Fate Aligned

I rolled on the ground to dodge a swipe of its scythe-like limb and swipe my tomahawk on its leg making it groan before I immediately dash forward once again.

It's been a few minutes now that I'm doing this hit-and-run with this bastard, it surely has a lot of scars on its limbs, especially the area of the joints since I deliberately aim for it, and I can see it starting to take effect on its movement.

As I stood there looking at this bastard after throwing my throwing knife at it aiming at the scar that I have given to it, waiting for it to do what I want it to do.

And sure enough, it immediately turns around and raises its giant left hand to slam at me, I immediately run backward before doing a backflip to make enough distance far enough to not get hit, but close enough to do what I'm planning as I immediately dash forward to climb its hand as its use it to hit me.

I use my last throwing knife as an extra grip as I stab its arm and jump while swinging my Tomahawk at its shoulder to help me climb faster as its hand slams at the position where I'm previously as it roars in pain. I don't know if it is because of my tomahawk or because it hit the knife and make it deeper, doesn't matter to me.

I have got my objective, the spear. You may wondering why this bastard didn't pull it out because I didn't let it, the moment it try anything I immediately attack it again and again

I grab my spear with my left hand and pulled it out making it stand up because of the pain while I use the back of my tomahawk to make extra damage to it while sliding down.

'Pity, I was aiming to stab your stupid bald head… No matter' as soon I came down I immediately stab its leg joint with my spear. 

But my instinct immediately screams at me.

I immediately jump backward while using my arms to guard my chest and head as I fly backward before sliding on my back.

"Ugghh… Fuck… Did that bastard just bitchslap me…" I groaned on the ground as my hand felt numb.

But luckily, I did enough damage and stalled time long enough for it to take effect.

"hahaha… What's wrong? You start swaying there… Feel a little dizzy?" I chuckle as I slowly stand up.

Sure enough, that thing looking at me while shaking its head and swaying left and right 

"You know, I'm grateful… After all, if it isn't because of you, I wouldn't be what I am today… And surely I wouldn't fall into that lake" I said while panting, I crouch down to take my tomahawk.

"You hit hard by the way" I turn around to look at something behind on the ground.

"And because of that lake, make all of this possible… How is that Kelbi taste by the way? I give it some spice for you" there 2 ropes attached to a piece of metal to the ground and run right to the bush, I'm honestly surprised one of them hasn't snapped yet with how much tension it has.

"I give it a healthy dose of what I called sleep herbs mixed with some narcoberry, I also coated it on those knives too… But I also coated my knives with oil of poisonous berries that are a pain in the ass to create" I put my leg on one of the metal rods, and I can feel that thing starting to regain its bearing as it roared and run toward me.

"and the funny thing about that particular berry, after you process it and squeeze the oil out not only is it extremely toxic but also-" I slam the metal rod making it pulled from the ground as the bastard is right behind me and immediately two sharp logs the size of adult arm shot up from between the bushes stabbing it on its left shoulder and right chest making it stop its charge.

"it is also flammable" I kick the last rod and immediately run as fast as I could toward the forest as something swing down from above me.

A big metal constructs the size of an adult chest that consists of two metal boxes, one long with a hole right in the middle with something sharp slightly pointing out and the other one shorter connected with a hinge with a small gap between them connected to a wood that connected to a branch of a tree with ropes.

I immediately jumped to take cover behind a tree and lay down as the construct hit the bastard right on the chest, making the two box to snap between each other as the sharp object slightly pushed back hard enough to make the object inside the shorter box make a spark and burn everything inside it, fire lightened up so suddenly without a way out making it explode inside and create a shock wave to shot up the sharp object like a bullet piercing through its chest and straight deep into a tree trunk while shattered the construct into pieces that flying everywhere.

After hearing the sound of the explosion and a loud thud, I slowly came out from where I taking cover to take a look.

The bushes around it were just outright gone with the surrounding tree having pieces of metal on them, slowly I walk toward the bastard that hunt me down three years ago as it lay down on its pool of blackish blood.

There is a big hole right on its chest and some metal scraps piercing its body and a metal plate right on its lower jaw, after looking at it for a few seconds I walk past it to take my spear that laying on the ground before I walk back to its body 

"Payback motherfucker" I stab its head with my spear right to the brain and twist it around inside before pulling it out and taking a deep breath. It's finally over.

The wind starts blowing, making everything start swaying as leaves fall and the breeze hit me making me feel the cold sensation on my scalp.

I stood there silently listening as the wind blew.

As the voices start sounding once more, whispered in my ears. Slowly I look at the sky 

"Something is coming" I look at the blue sky for a few seconds before I pulled my hoodie to cover my head and walk deeper into the forest.

It looks like the hunt isn't over yet.

Change of POV 

—------

"Thank you, big sister!" I smiled as I crouch down to pat the little Twi'lek on her head trying not to touch her leku since I know it's sensitive when they are young.

"Ma'am thank you so much for helping us, really thank you *sob*" an adult blue Twi'lek said while she is sobbing bowing down while holding the little girl's shoulder.

Not just her, but currently I'm surrounded by a lot of adults and younglings from all kinds of races, when they heard the woman Twi'lek they sound their agreement and start bowing down toward me.

"Please, it is my duty to help while the Force may guide me here, it is my duty as a Jedi to help those who suffer" I said while smiling at them, I can see a male human with scars running from his brow to his lip walk toward me slowly

"My lady, thank you very much for helping us, forgive me for saying this but we already lost hope to gain any help, not from the Republic or the Jedi Order… But I guess some Jedi do care about us" the man said, hearing this I can only smile sadly since I have been wandering around the Galaxy and so I heard the same opinions from a lot of planets, especially those from Outer Rim

"But alas I'm not here to have,

a debate about that, I'm here to invite you, my lady to have dinner with us among the soldiers and the free folks" the man says while smiling, and the surrounding people start getting excited while inviting her to eat with them 

"Forgive me but I can't, for the force is guiding me toward another calling" even now I can feel the force whispered to me, guiding me toward my main destination.

The children can only groan while I can only smile at them and giggle at their behavior 

"then at least, let us give you some rations for your journey"

—-----

It has been a few centuries now since I gain my mastery.

Although I have become a Jedi Master, I didn't take a Padawan since I know it is not my calling for the Force whispered to me, guiding me toward something more.

At first, the Force guided me toward where conflict will happen, where the people struggled and oppressed. For years I go from planet to planet fulfilling my duty as best as I could, and yet I can feel the Force telling me that it's not time yet, that soon the Force will guide me toward the destination it willed it to be.

So years after years I keep waiting, until suddenly 3 years ago the Force actively whispered to me, guiding where me toward where it wanted me to be deeper and deeper into the Outer Rim and nearer to the Unknown Region.

Even now I can feel it, that my destination is close and sure enough I can see it, a beautiful planet that I remember very well before I become a Jedi Master.

A tragedy where because of miss information, because of fear, and greed, a whole planet was razed to the ground.

I wonder why the Force guided me here, but soon I will find the answer.

"I am one with the Force, the Force is with me"
