The Beginning Of Utopia

A Greater Adversary

After the problem of bleeding was solved Hannibal looked at the dagger. (BloodThirsty Dagger; when stabbed into the living for every 5 seconds the dagger is in 1/10 of damage dealt is recovered.) As it stood the dagger was a life stealer. Hannibal tucked it in his back pocket as he got up and started walking up the dreaded stairs.

The thrill of facing death was exciting to say the least. Hannibal got chills from the memory alone he felt fear from his own excitement.

 (Fourth Floor) As Hannibal stepped out it was pitch dark. The darkness was devoid of light as even a cat would see nothing in this room. Hannibal stumbled around the room reaching and feeling he was tense. Suddenly he got chills down his back as he lunged into a roll. He turned back as sparks flew from where he was standing before. In the brief moment of light a blob of darkness with eyes like the void, knife like claws and a human like body outline.

Its appearance hideous amplified by the darkness. Hannibal rushed toward the door and he saw the sparks again and the sound of nails scratching a chalk board. He lunged through the doorway and turned spear at the ready, but the creature didn't chase beyond like the rabbits. 

Hannibal broke down like a college student after midterms. The fear had outweighed the excitement of exploration and the will to conquer. 

Hannibal gathered himself and thought how to conquered the darkness. He looked around the 3rd floor and saw the rabbit corpses. He had a great idea.

On the 4th floor he threw the corpses all over the floor they didn't matter as he still had food from the previous rabbits. He heard sickening crunch's from the darkness, he took the dagger from his pocket and at the sound of the crunch he threw. It struck true a horrible cry echoed from the darkness as black blood spilt over the visible ground. A hour passed(+1 health) another hour (+1health). 

As Hannibal walked closer to the darkness the creature lunged, it was in a terrible state black blood covered its body and the knife glowed red with satisfaction. The creature lunged and Hannibal stabbed it screeched as the spear pierced the shadow like skin. It bit at Hannibal as he backed up and pushed forward in a deadly dance. The creature was on its last legs holding on for the battle. It maneuvered Hannibal into a wall and it lunged Hannibal slashed but he miscalculated the spear was still made of wood. In that second the creature sunk its claws into his shoulders. It but towards his neck as Hannibal thrashed for the dagger imbedded into the creatures side. 

He grabbed it as he felt the creatures breathe and stabbed into the side of its head. It froze and fell into him as Hannibal panted and looked at the abomination that had almost taken his life. Unconsciously he smiled, and fainted.
