ARC 1: A hellish Greeting

 

 

---

 

So… one day, I found myself lying on some grass. What a way to touch grass, am I right? Like seriously… who In my class would pull a prank like this and throw me into the forest while I’m sleeping? 

…well, I suppose this is the most eventful thing that has happened during this school trip. 

Geez… stupid friends of mine….

…..

Okay, but seriously? Where am I? 

Ugh… 

We had a trip in the mountains, and they’d throw me into the forest? Like… for real? 

‘Sigh….’

Those idiots will pay when I get back to the camp. I swear…. 

….

Okay, as much as I hope that to be the case, there is a giant dogo that is very scary looking… have two heads and… yeah…. I’m hallucinating, ain’t I? 

Ahahaha…..

…..

Shit, I better runnnnn! 

….

Dear diary, I was cast into the forest when I had a field trip, or maybe… that’s irrelevant. This dog thing, however… very, very relevant. 

“Holy shit!” I screamed as I ran as fast as I could 

This thing is massive, and no normal dog, is it? 

Well… as much as I'm panicking and running for my dear life, it… it’s catching up. 

Sharp teeth: check

Enormous: check 

Scary: well, obviously…. 

Spewing fire: check…? 

WTF?!? Spewing fire!? 

And as I was ticking off the checklist. I ran into a tree, badly hitting my head against it… blood ran down my face as I ducked, groaning from pain and accidentally avoiding its attack as it fell the tree by just jumping into it…. 

“....” 

Wait! Run, boy, run! 

I got up on my feet again and wasn’t looking back, but as I heard its heavy sprint toward me, I thought it was over.

I covered my eyes and ears, hoping it wouldn’t be a ruthless death. 

“Ahh… mother, father, lil sis. I think this dogo ain’t so friendly….” 

……..

…..

…

…so… is dying this painless? I mean, except for the pain in my forehead, this is rather nice, isn’t it?

I slowly opened my eyes and, to my surprise, a giant bird was flying away with the dog that was just chasing me….

“So… that is not a bird… is it…?” 

Let me correct myself. 

It was a damned dragon! 

“Phew, at least I’m safe.” 

“.....siiieseis~” 

“......”

…okay, let me just say this. 

Never use that phrase!

Right after the giant dogo, this damned lizard appeared, like? What is this forest!? 

— :::: — 

After being chased around non-stop by monsters, I came to realise one or two things. 

One: yeah, I'm screwed. 

Two: pretty sure Earth doesn’t have these creatures! 

So… my conclusion was!? Yeah, obviously, this is another planet or world! But I place my bet on another world! Why? I mean, another planet in our universe sounds exciting and all. But there’s no magic in our universe… I think… so that would be dull…. 

And as I rid myself of those monsters. I found a somewhat safe place, and I’m currently gathering my thoughts. 

First things off, I need to clean the wound on my forehead. Then I need water, food, and some sort of shelter and find out if there is anyone besides me. If my classmates are here, I’d need to find someone… a.k.a, I need to find my sister.  

But wait, you may ask. Didn’t you call her lil sis? Why would she be here? 

Yes.

Yes….

…Hear me out… we’re not actual siblings since my father married her mother after he divorced my mom. 

…Wait… does that matter? 

Anyhow… this sister of mine is my age, and we were in the same class… get it now? If I’m not alone, and my classmates are here, then it’s likely she’s here as well… 

And… 

Nah, I think she’s fine! After all, she’s my sis! 

Well then…

I suppose it’s about time I find some drinkable water and food, though… how do I know it’s edible or drinkable? 

Ugh… I can’t choose to be picky now, can I? I mean, it’s either death by thirst or dying from some unknown water! 

Though I pray there aren’t any strange parasites and so on if I find some water…. 

Hmm… I do admit that these forests are huge, like… really huge! 

I’ve been sneaking around for a while now, and the only thing I’ve seen was some feet! Like actual human feet! With shoes to boot! Now on sale fooor~ freeee! 

…I suppose the monsters don’t have a foot fetish… I mean… they just leave them…. 

And I do recognise some shoes… 

‘Sigh…’ 

“At least they aren’t her’s….” I mumbled to myself. 

……

…..

…I honestly can’t pretend to be all lucky-go-happy, now… can I? I mean… I found the remains of my classmates, who were unfortunately eaten by something. 

My legs shivered, and I finally crumbled down. My whole body was shaking. 

I mean… why wouldn't they? 

This isn’t some bad dream. I’ve really been thrown into another world. Which is not only dangerous, but some of my classmates are already dead! 

Tears uncontrollably flooded my eyes. 

“Julia… I’m scared….” 

Please….

…I don’t want to find you like I did some the rest.
