" Danno do you know that some people started a forum for the game ? " Cap said as he leaped over a broken tree in his path.
" Already ? Well it's not that hard to imagine since viewers love to watch streams of the game. its beautiful graphics even confuse some people. They even think it's an real life stream. " Danno said " I even heard something about a streamer who used to get just 1-2 viewers shooting up to like 20-30 viewers because he was lucky to be able to get in before the limit was reached."
" I'm thinking of starting a live streaming channel as well. What do you think should I do it ? " Cap asked Danno
" Do you know the saying ' a donkey shouldn't try to become a horse ' ? "
"Umm... no ? That's like the first time I have heard this saying. What does it mean ? " cap said looking confused
" The saying means we should accept ourselves and the position we are in currently. We should try to better ourselves in the work we are good at instead of trying to pursue something completely different and unrelated. " Danno said
" Oh I get it ! Your indirectly saying I shouldn't try to be a streamer and get into a field I have no knowledge about , but instead focus on my Medical studies degree and excel in that ?. " Cap said
"No I just wanted to compare you to a donkey " Danno said as he finally broke into a chuckle
"..." Cap didn't even know how to respond back after hearing such an awful joke .
Danno stopped his chuckle but after seeing Cap's expression he couldn't control himself and started laughing like a maniac. It took some time before he regained his composure back.
" we've been searching for a place to settle since forever ! Make your mind up man ! "
" I'll make up my mind when i see a good place ! A place that looks nice you know ? Has some natural cover in case a fight breaks out. "
Suddenly Cap and Danno overhead an argument coming from over the tall shrubs to their right. They couldn't make out what the conversation was about bu they could tell people were talking.
Cap lowered his hands to the axe hanging from his waist. He motioned Danno to do the same.
" They could be tribals " Cap whispered to Danno as he crouched and approached the shrubs " Support me from behind "
Danno wanted to say he was being overly cautious, but he chose not to incase they actually were tribals.
Cap has grown much more vary of his surroundings after he got attacked by the tribals. Even more so after he had learned that another group of players were attacked by them yesterday. He even looked up some some tutorials on how to fight with an small axe or hammer if they get attacked again. You could say he had some paranoia.
" And when are we gonna sell our maps ? At this rate the other groups will already have their maps ready. Before we can sell ours. "
" They won't. The first thing most groups are looking for is a good place to settle in. Like us , after that they'll probably look for alliance with others , not try to make a map. "
Cap tightened his grip on the axe as the voices came closer.
As one of the voices pushed the shrubs away they saw cap standing straight with a axe in his hand about to strike.
Racko was completely taken aback and reflexively jerked his head back and stumbled backwards falling to the ground. Rick behind him was also taken aback and put his hands up in a boxing stance. There were a few second of silence.
" Oh I'm sorry. I thought you were some tribals " Cap finally said
" It's a misunderstanding on our part. " Danno said after Cap
Rick lowered his guard and helped Racko back up.
" You scarred the shit out of me man ! " Racko said as he chuckled a little
" I was about to throw a punch bro you have to more careful with that axe. You show that to the wrong people and a fight may break out." Rick said
" It's just extra caution. After I heard about how the tribals attack another group. I've been cautious" Cap said
" There's been another attack ?! We just fought in a battle yesterday man ! " Racko said looking surprised
" No , no that's the attack I'm referring to. And did you say you fought in it ? Can you me tell me about it ? " Cap asked
" Yeah man it was a mess. There were so many people fighting at once. I'm sorry I can't give you the whole rundown of things as we're currently busy and looking for a nice place to settle in. Do you by any chance know a place like that ? " Asked Racko
Cap was about to say they don't, but Danno interrupted him before he could say something " What would we get for telling you of a place like that ? "
Danno thought for a minute and firmly said " depends on how good the place is. "
Danno smiled and said " I'm just pulling your leg. I don't know a place like that but what I can tell you is that if you follow this path only a overgrown patch of trees will be in your way. I suggest you find a different direction to follow "
Racko was about to offer them one of the map tablets if they knew a place like that. The tablets were precious but a good place to live in was more valuable to them for the long run.
" Thanks for the heads up ! " Rick said
After that both of them parted ways.
" Really wished he told me about the attack I could have learned more about the tribals " Cap said looking disappointed
" Don't fuss over it bro , chill a little. A lot of them have died in the recent battles I think it will take quite a bit of time for them to attack us again " Danno said trying to lighten Cap's spirit

" Blow the fans louder ! "
" Where are the dishes !? "
" The the next set of dancers quick ! "
A range of commands could be overheard in the brightly lit up area. Tall wodden pillers were standing with powerful torch's tied diagonally on top of them . The pillars made a path leading to a massive chair. On that chair sat an equally massive man.
The chair was made quite bulky to be able to withstand the giant's weight. He sat with his legs crossed and rested his head on one of his hands. A small plank was attached to the right of the chair in which a normal sized tribal used to sit. He was sitting just a moment ago until he was called to discuss an important matter.
Loud music was being played by musicians sitting a few metres away from him on a wodden platform. As an array of dancers performed infront of him.
Suddenly the tribals who sat beside the giant ran , climbed of the plank and whispered something into the giant's ears.
The giant expression gradually changed from boredom , to intrest and finally to pure rage.
He at once got up from his chair and roared " who dare defy me and kill my men ! Sent out another fleet at once and bring me their heads ! I shall make them work for eternity ! "
" Please calm down chief. We'll definitely crush all of them. We will be sending about 100 men team. It has 70 men and 30 skeleton warriors " He said as he tried to calm the chief down
After a bit more persuading he finally calmed down. He sat back in his chair with a sigh and ordered food to be brought.
A wodden platform carried by four men on their shoulders was brought infront of him. On the platform layed dead and decaying bodies of rabbits , birds , small mammals and 2 human beings. Fungus had started to grow on some of bodies aswell.
"These are the defectors chief , who tried to abondon the great and mighty tribe. We caught them and served them appropriate punishment. " His advisor said pointing to the dead humans.
" You know my taste well " the chief said as he picked one of the bodies from its leg.
He opened his teeth and ripped half the body , putting it in his mouth. He chewed for some time and occasionally spat the bones out. After that he put the other half inside his mouth and eat that aswell.
After that he devoured the other bodies and finally let out a long burp.
He then ordered the musicians and the dancers to stop as he got up and went out his sleeping room for some rest.
