Monster Girl Ranching in Another World

Finding the centipede woman and whatever little winged demon was could only mean one thing. If there were two monsters in this world, that would mean there would be more, and that made me smile.

I was hoping that most of them were as hot as the bug lady was. If it hadn't been for those creepy legs, I would have beat that bug girls kitty like a red headed step child right now! ​​

I really didn't want to have to kill girls, that wasn't something I could do. I mean, I was in a new world, and I was the odd man out from what I understood, but I would have to find ways to deal with them if I had to without hurting them.

Maybe I was being stupid for being this way, and it was a dangerous attitude to adopt when I knew the world would be filled with danger. I already had dropped the chance to have the easy way, and now I was saddling myself with more personal restrictions.

I had to look at it in the way of just giving myself a handicap in this new life, especially after the way I had acted and cheated in my old life. I was only thirty, and really in the prime of my life!

So, giving myself some restrictions was good for me, but I wouldn't restrict myself to doing other things with the women if they were willing, hehe. This was a whole new world that I could get strong in, but I wouldn't have to fight monsters all the time, right?

I was coming up to an open part of the light grey rock walled canyon. The area was filled with bolder, and many other smaller rocks, and was about thirty meters in diameter.

At the opposite side it shrunk back to at the other end, and the canyon continued on. I looked to the left and right, and there were openings for paths just like the one I had just come from on both sides.

I turned back to notice something that looked like a shaking rock up ahead of me, and I got excited. Whatever this rock thing was, it was moving, so it was alive, and must be a monster!

Finally, something that I could try swinging a fist at, but I slowed down as the creature stood way up. A four meter tall man made out of stone that looked dark grey and jagged stood up with a shell of stone on its back.

I started to rethink how I was going to face this situation. The rock thing stood on thick heavy rectangular boulder boots, and its hands were covered the same.

The thing looked mean and grouchy and dangerous, but its elbows and knees weren't protected well. It also wasn't made completely out of stone, so I started to let my mind absorb everything to figure out a plan; I wasn't taking psychopede as my partner.

"What do you want, little man?" The rock man asked me in a slow and halting manner like he was missing some stones upstairs.

"Just passing by, and you look a bit out of my league, but I need to get by, so do you think I could sneak by?" I asked, trying to buy myself some more time.

"Hmmm? You just need to pass me?" The ugly-looking rock man pondered as he put a ground with his hand on his chin. "Sure, if you don't need to fight, then that's just fine; I don't mind at all."

I watched as the troll stepped back with a bow, but I could see the unrestrained grin creeping across his ugly human face, and this guy was a bad actor. I started to walk and act like I had no idea he was about to kick me.

I was insulted that he had the nerve to pull his foot back before trying to swing it forward, but I had already scoped a stone up off the ground. It was about the size of my head, and pretty heavy, but my new strength made it feel a lot lighter.

*Whoosh!*

The feeling and sound of the foot just barely missing made my clothes flap around, but I had just stepped back casually, seeing the foot coming in almost slow motion. I laughed as I turned around fast and hucked the rock at the kneecap of the leg still on the ground.

Whatever this thing was, it had thin elbow and knee joints, and they were just as weak as a humans. The shot I fired struck the monster and sent it tumbling to the ground.

I grabbed a bigger rock with a rough thirty-five-centimeter diameter, and walked over to the roaring and whining monster. This Rock man thought he was a wise crack, hmmm? I would be putting an end to this bastard's dirty tricks.

"What have you done to me! You broke my leg! Now, what am I going to do? This is all your fault, and now since I am hurt, I activate a quest to force you to go on a quest to help me!" The rock thing cried out in an agonized but victorious voice.

Nothing happened, and I continued walking forward, but the idea that doing a quest for someone would make you stonger was dumb. So that's what that minor bullshit system was, a way to suck me into random missions instead of just fighting monsters and getting stronger.

"Wait! You are supposed to be stopping! Why do you have that rock?" The rock man said as I got closer to him, raise the rock over my head.

The scream was cut off fast, and the rock made a squishing and bone-grinding cracking noise as it tore flesh and broke the creature's face. Blood sprayed, and chunks of flesh, broken bone, and brain matter squished out the sides from the force and size of the rock.

I stood all the way back up, and I did feel like this was a bit better now, finally getting a bit of natural adrenaline pumping inside of me. There was nobody to take care of, just me trying to get to the top of this monster-filled world without using some dumb cheat system.

"Essscoose me, I ssseem to be lossst," a sweet hissing voice asked me from behind.

I turned around, and I looked at the beautiful face of a woman with snakes for hair. The woman's grey clouded over eyes. Yeah, I think I just lost The Game.
