The Unbound (Multiverse: The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones?)
'What happens to you after a truck smashes you to death? A question I’ve asked myself a thousand times, as I read stories or watched animes involving Truck-kun. I’m sure many of you would have the same answer as me: ‘You get reincarnated silly.’ Or even those who’d say: ‘You meet an ROB and get a zillion wishes and go to your favorite world to build a harem and have cock measuring contests with everyone who looks wrong at you, DUH.’ I was surprised when I got to test it first hand. Scratch that, the only thought on my mind as I faced the enormous monstrosity, if there was any, was that I didn’t want to die, while my body thought it would magically solve the solution if I pissed and shat myself. Turns out that men shit themselves when they die, who knew?' This is a story about an ordinary man who suddenly found himself in a different world with a GAMER system! Or at least what appeared to be similar. Current World: Game of Thrones First World: The Walking Dead Second World: Game of Thrones I wish to do: Harry Potter, Danmchi, Marvel, DXD... Nothing is fixed yet, and I will be taking requests into consideration. ------------------------------------ Support me on Patreon and read up to 5 chapters ahead: patreon.com/xenongraves RELEASE RATE: I'm aiming for 10k words / week. so 1 chapter / day , with 2k words, though for now, I just post wherever I've reached. I haven't stockpiled chapters yet. ------------------------------------ Disclaimer: I do not own The Walking Dead. Thanks to LordValmar for the cover! ------------------------------------ This part is to help you decide if you want to read this or not. 1- Is this a HAREM story? I understand this is a deal breaker for a lot of people. So I'll avoid wasting your time. I didn't add a HAREM tag because it's not a HAREM story just yet. However, if you are ABSOLUTELY against the very idea of Harems, I suggest you avoid reading this, because as the author I am open to the possibility. However, at no point will this become a story where the MC gets any girl he wants just because he looked their way. I wish to make the interactions as human as possible. Needless to say, with the system, it might tip the scale in his favor. 2- Is the MC OP? At the start? Nope. he is as ordinary as they come. I'm trying to maintain a balance in the story. if he can speed run the world, there is no point in writing about his adventures at all if he's already a god. he will EVENTUALLY be OP, but not right off the bat. 3- Does the MC get wishes? No. If you have more questions, ask me in the comment, I'll give you an answer as soon as I can.
Chapter 26
- Xenon -
I finished my squirrel much faster than last time, with less yelling from Daryl. He did yell at me, alright, but I feel I've done a better job this time around. And since there was no Merle around this time, I got to do two squirrel, which brought my skill in skinning to level 2.
"Hey Daryl?"
"What?" Daryl always looked annoyed without trying to, a natural talent that made him quite the loner, even in the show.
"Can you teach me how to throw knives?" I asked.
"Why the fuck would you ask me that?" He intoned coldly. "Assuming I know that kind of stuff, I look like a ex-con or somethin' to you?"
"Quick question: Do you know how to throw knives?" I raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, but that's not the point." He answered, annoyed even more, though he smirked in the end. Phew, turns out he was joking. Don't scare me like that man. "Why do you wanna learn?"
"It gets boring around here, might as well learn something useful." I shrugged.
"And it's my fucking job to amuse you, right?" He glared at me. "Fuck off, kid. I ain't got the time."
"Come on, man, don't be like that! I'll even pay you back." He looked at me up and down, sending shivers down my spine.
"Nah, you're not my type." He waved his hand dismissively. DID HE JUST DO WHAT I THINK HE DID?!
"Oi, asshole, that's not what I meant. And I AM underage, so..."
"Yeah, and?" He frowned at me, 'puzzled' at why I brought age into this… then he chuckled and shook his head, before walking away.
'Ok, this is getting weirder and weirder…' I was thinking about how to convince him, when he stopped and looked at me, annoyed for some reason (more than usual): "you coming or not?"
Daryl explained to me the two ways he knew of throwing knives, though he said he's not even decent at them, and has horrible success rate, especially with varying distances, and that's the most difficult part apparently. He told me it's mostly because he never invested time in the skill, as he never had any use for it.
The first one was called 'Military Half-Spin', when you had to hold the knife from the blade, placing your thumb on top. The closer you are to the target, the lower your thumb should be, as it would control the rotation of the blade. I was glad my knife was one edges, otherwise this technique would be unusable for me right now.
The second one was called 'No Spin', and it's a technique where you launch the blade without spinning it to the target, unsurprisingly. It was apparently harder, and the rotation is still controlled by the thumb. He said there are a lot of techniques, but these were the ones he bothered to learn a bit about.
I did a few tries in front of him, on both techniques, where he did his best to correct my posture, before leaving me to my own devices. I won't complain, it's more than enough for me, and I'm sure with enough time, I'll learn how to do it.
I started practicing right away, but had to stop because it was time for lunch. I wolfed down my food, and went back to practice without wasting a second.

After five hours of practice and hundreds of throws, picking up the only knife I had to practice with, even when I completely missed the tree and sent it farther away… I've finally succeeded.
