The Introduction 8 : To The Land Of Death

  So its you. Sorry I almost broke your stuff.

  Irresponsible idiot. You don't think I will just let you go like that, do you?

  Ah! You are at it again. See, its just a little damage, and it wasn't even intentional. Please... just let me return already...

  It's not my fault you are so dumb. Just pay me already, little damage or not intentional; what I am doing here is business...

  Okay, greedy bitch, what do you want?

  Mmm... How about you quit? Maintaining your vessel alone cost me a lot of resources and...

  Ah... Please just stop there. There is no way I will quit, you already know that.

  How about we do this? You stay with me for a duration of time until I consider your payment for the damage done has been paid, then you can leave.

  Are you saying I stay with you here as payment and you will let me leave when you will? I have got no say at all?

  Yes, its just about three small...

  Nah... not gonna work. By the time I leave here, all the fun below will already be over. How about this I won't log...

  No, Its not enough to cover everything you damaged.

  Please, how about I add...

  Hmph. If you sign this in addition, I may let you go.

  Fuck it! You are asking me to do the impossible.

  Agree to it or stay here.

  Okay, bitch, just wait, I...

  ***

  The groan of a figure—laid flat on a grainy sand that is also buried under dry flaky large decomposing grass leaves and is hidden between super tall brown grasses—broke the silence of the tranquil Savannah bathing under a colossal golden moon that seems about to make contact with its vastness.

  F, U, C, K, why always me?... Skylar grumbled, carefully spelling the first word in his mind.

  Is everything in this world actually magnified by a lot? Everything just make me look like an ant in the world of giants. And where the hell is this place? Everywhere is burning hot, even that giant shrub over there is wobbly... I will find that stupid bitch and teach her manners when I have the time later.

  Shit! How did I even get here in the first place? I might be forgetting something, well... if its important, I will surely remember...

  Thinking to himself after he took a careful look at the place that was revealed to him, Skylar will-clicked an holographic icon in his mind

  Click. [ Map ]

  Fuck! how? How did I make this crazy leap? What really happened that time? Well... who cares. Its a good thing I am getting closer to a safe zone..

  Although, still buried in dirt, Skylar after locating his position with the help of the holographic 3D map display before him, withdrew it with a thought. Then he stretch his mysterious sense to have a feel of his surroundings.

  Ah, fuck! I can feel them already... there are so many of them. And why are they hiding like cowards?... That large one over there in that hole should be able to see me, or is there something I am missing...

  Confused by the behaviour of the creatures around, Skylar slowly dig himself out and took to a sitting position, trying to observe the place with his eyes.

  However, just a few seconds later, his figure in the sitting position stiffened with perspiration oozing out of his pores like waterfalls, after which he suddenly stood on his feet.

  Fuck! Its probably too late. I didn't get the message...

  Lamenting internally, Skylar suddenly transitioned into a record breaking sprint—one that definitely surpass the top speed of a sport car.

  As he ran in a straight line through brown giant grasses, over tall sandy mounds, across deep pits littered with bones, past sky reaching shrubs, and past many other hiding comrades; the howling of a wolf traveling from a very far distance coerced his mind to release the limit of its body capacity, which really happened as his speed multiply by three fold—an unbelievable feat he doesn't have the time to enjoy, since there is danger behind.

  Shit! This bastard had locked onto me already... hey, wait, that guy, talk about coincidence...

  Thinking to himself as he is still moving like an arrow riding a tail wind, he spotted a familiar comrade far ahead in front who is also running to escape the unknown and an unwanted fate chasing them behind.

  The scene of a black blur, followed far behind by a strange creature shouting as they run and leap at certain times, becomes the source of entertainment for several mighty and extremely powerful creatures with feelings of relief, gratefulness, happiness and a little bit of satisfaction from the plight of there comrades on the radar of something irresistible and inevitable coming for only them, but not them anymore.

  A moment later, the black blur in front reached an area with a group of rocks that looks like a giant mountain ridge according to a regular human perspective. And the black blur while maintaining its insane speed took a curved turn and drifted with an enviable flair into the opening provided by one of this enormous rocks.

  A little while later, Skylar zooming figure coming from afar came to a slow and a frictional stop a few meters from the location of the cave the black blur escaped into.

  Without haste, Skylar stepped into the cave flooded with a cool blue light, which together with the natural carved patterns on the cave's wall demands the reverent attention of its beholder.

  Not pausing to enjoy the otherworldly view of the cave, Skylar approached the previous black blur that have turned to a black creature who is sitting at one corner with its head lowered, looking lonely and maybe frightened.

  "Longest time, Mr Rabbit." Sounding elated, Skylar moved close to the very first creature he met in this world while also extending his hand for a handshake.

  However, the large rabbit not having it, responded with a swipe of its metallic claw, lunging at the rude and bold creature that id invading his space. And dodging, Skylar leaned backwards, went down on his naked butt and rolled on his back away from the incoming claws—a set of fanciful and artistic motion that will impress him if he were watching it.

  "Hey! Mr! I don't think we should fight in this situation." Skylar who now stood a few distance away from the gnarling giant rabbit implored.

  Both illuminated by the bright rays of light from the heavens that is forcing its way through the gap left on top of the giant rock cavern had a brief contest of staring and making faces.

  ...

  A short time later.

  "Mr rabbit. Its not like you are an idiot. Why will you always go first for violence and not reason out with someone?" Skylar now sitting next to the large rabbit who he had reason with somehow questioned while not really expecting an answer. Then he stared blankly, looking thoughtful.

  Can we shake off that guy by just hiding here? What should we do when things go south? Yes.. my status window...

  Skylar thought, after which he raised his head to look at the floating home symbol. Then he will-clicked on it

  [ Attributes ]

  [ Constitution : D- ]

  [ Perception : D+]

  [ Spirit : D+]

  [ Intelligence : F+]

  [ Energy : Ether( chemical ), Natural ]

  ...

  My start are increasing somehow. How does this level up thing works? Its not like they mentioned it in the message. And shouldn't my current stat make me a bit as strong as an npc in this tutorial land? And what's the deal with the natural energy?...

  Scrutinizing his status on the holographic display suspended in front of his eyes, Skylar seek answers in his mind. However, soon after, both man and beast raised their head skywards, their bodies tensed and their faces marred with a grave expression.

  However, after a few seconds, the duo simultaneously gave a sigh of relief as color returned to their faces, and at the same time, they simultaneously turned to look at one another with gazes carrying the banner of victory.

  "That was scary,l. I thought we were doomed... Mr rabbit what's the problem." Skylar who have changed his seating position and posture, now directly facing Mr rabbit first gave a comment and then questioned the giant rabbit that is acting extremely frightened and terrified, looking funny.

  Wait... its brighter for some reason and the draft in here has changed pace...

  While musing internally, Skylar saw the rabbit go down flat on his face, trembling and shaking—doing like a creature having a seizure.

  Ignoring the strange state of the rabbit and curious about the reason for the drastic change in ambience, Skylar raised his head to look at the source of the cave's illumination that has changed. And what he saw was the spectating heaven and its glories in attendance—a view that surprised and shocked him.

  The top of the enormous rock has been cut off and removed. And above this recently formed gap, is the introductory figure of a colossal white beast at one side—one which along with few others probably stand above all creatures in this land in the pecking order.

  Then few seconds after he raised his head, Skylar still stunned by the sight in front of him, watched as the enormous rock hiding them, which is as tall as the devil peak rose into the air slowly and then after reaching a certain distance from the ground, it flew into the horizon with great speed. Actually, it was pulled by the colossal beast about a thousand meter in height from the ground, and thrown into the distance like a stone.

  ***

  Several hours after getting abducted by the wolf.

  Fuck! Where is this guy taking us? Its speed is killing me and l can't even get a view of anything... Skylar grumbled inwardly while holding fast and tightly to the bars of the cage he's being held and which also hang loosely on the back of the colossal beast, despite the unending jarring force coming from different directions randomly.

  Mr Rabbit sitting comfortably in the same cage, unlike the disoriented Skylar who has his eyes tightly shut tapped him on his back with his super sharp metallic claw, and he pointed the same claw when Skylar opened his eyes in the direction their capturer is taking them.

  Fuck! what's with that place, its just like a mini paradise, is that the lair of this guy...

  Skylar with an expression colored with shock and disbelief thought as he sets his eyes on what his partner pointed at—a place which is probably their destination.
