Immortality System: The Last Human's Transmigration

After traveling at a speed at which I could conserve energy, I finally became incapable of seeing the red monkeys anymore.

This was mainly due to the fact that they were abnormal creatures that moved as slow as me, but at the same time could keep moving at that same speed for hours if not days.

The journey so far had not only made me more hungry than before, but the injuries that I had developed from being chased by the creature were beginning to come up once again as if they were old scars losing their ability to seal the wound anymore.

Of course, this was a huge pain in the ass since I knew that there was a very high chance that I probably would not be able to catch up to them, but I had already gotten this far and as if a devil was whispering to me from my shoulder, I chose to not give up and continue to move forward.

After running, jumping, and swerving from side to side every now and then to both avoid large tree roots as well as any ferocious beasts nearby, I finally found evidence of them having gone down this direction, making me sigh in relief.

It seemed like they had all dropped down to the ground for a reason I could not understand since they clearly had the advantage up at the rooftops of the forest, jumping from branch to branch, yet my question was answered rather quickly after I strolled a few hundred meters ahead of where they had landed.

There, in the middle of a battle-ridden landscape lay the corpse of what looked like a pterodactyl...

Its eyes were completely hollow not an ounce of flesh could be seen still sticking onto the bones of the creature.

From how its bones were aligned and scattered, it looked like its organs had been violently ripped out of its body, and destroyed with such a large difference in power that it had taken only seconds to pick it apart.

The creature's wings looked like they were probably made out of a thick membrane, but at the same time, they contained long jagged bones which went down and reached the end of the wings, probably even sticking out as if they were sharp little daggers.

Its head was elongated, and its talons were like three sharp hooks attached to the end of its legs.

This was the same flying creature that had killed the lizard-like beast that had ripped off my arm...

'Holy sh-'

Before I could curse, I heard a distinct rattling in the distance, making my entire being freeze before my head seemed to regain enough energy to finally look back.

My heart was racing at a pace that I only felt when my arm had been ripped off, and now that it was happening again, I knew exactly why...

It was fear...

One would probably retort with 'Of course you are scared. You are up against complete monsters', but to them, I would only have one thing to say.

This was not the same fear I felt on Earth, or should I say in the future... No. This was an indescribable fear mixed with a dreaded feeling which would have made any other man puke their guts out the moment they felt it.

This was something beyond the fear of death itself as if I was scared of something beyond it.

When my eyes had found the strength to look back at the thing that was coming up behind me, rattling in the nearby bushes and looking at me with its piercing eyes, I could not help but sigh in relief.

The creature that had snuck up on me looked a bit like a wolf mixed in with a gorilla to make the thing I saw. It was huge, but in no way was it more terrifying than the red monkeys I saw earlier.

I had already given up on hunting one of them by catching it by surprise, but seeing the corpse had been the flag for me to turn right back the way I had come from, throwing away the little semblance of hope that i had within my heart that was telling me that I could probably win if I take it by surprise.

'I can take on this thing, right?' I asked myself, clearly and utterly unaware of how weak I must be in front of this thing.

However, I had one thing on my side and that was my intelligence. An Intelligence that I believed that no one on this planet so far could rival.

Carefully, I took out the miniature spear I had created and used rocks that I could find in the cave to make it sharper and more deadly if something were to get stabbed by it.

"Alright, show me what you've got." I taunted the creature, and as if it could understand me, it began to growl and lower its center of gravity until it was ready to lunge at me.

Its deep black fur began to emanate a dark hue that I noticed almost immediately, making me a little more cautious about attacking the thing in front of me.

From what I could tell so far, things in this 'world' did not always follow the same rules that applied to us humans in the future.

'I have to be careful. I only have one arm so I might lose my balance at a crucial moment, but if this thing is as stupid as it seems, I should be able to kill it without having to get injured again.' I calculated while my eyes darted all over its body, trying to find a weak spot that wasn't located around its face.

When the wolf was around 5 meters away, I quickly sidestepped to the right, something it seemed to anticipate since it had also turned to at the same moment as me.

However, what it couldn't anticipate was that the moment it did so, I would immediately take a much bigger leap to the left, something it could not do immediately since it would have to sacrifice its balance, pronouncing it dead in the process.

At that moment, I could see in its eyes.

It had finally realized that I could threaten its life even though I was technically half its size.

​ And when it saw my sharp spear for the first time pointed towards it, it felt something that it would have probably only felt from something like the lizard-like creature or the pterodactyl from before...

It was fear.

'Doesn't feel so good now does it.' I inwardly mused with a strange smile perking up at the corner of my lips.

Holding my miniature spear, or more accurately, my wooden stake, I drove it towards the eye of the wolf, twisting every joint in the process and using all my body weight to cause as much damage as possible and to dig the stake as deep as possible.
