Chapter 2 - A New World

Allen woke up hearing the sound of people talking.He looked around him and saw a person laying on a piece of rubble in a pool of blood.It seemed that he had not died yet but circumstances were not to his favor.

Allen stood at the spot and his body ached at multiple locations and there even seemed some fractures.

He walked a little towards a tree but it seemed that he jumped instead of walking.He looked beneath his foot and saw mushroom like bouncy thing.

"It must have acted as cushion for me"Allen thought.

He leaned against a nearby tree and sat down.He heard a person loudly calling for alive people to gather.

Allen heard the voice but did not move.Though he wanted to stay in a group, right now even standing was a burden to him.Would they simply take someone with his condition along with them for free.

He did really want to gamble with his life.So he stared looking for nearby herbs that may help him.He did find some plants which looked like herbs but how was he supposed to tell what were they.

He thought he might have to choose a herb randomly but he stopped when he noticed something pleasant going into his nostrils.

He had never felt something like this.At his previous planet the thing below their eyes was more of a decoration than a useful thing.He had never heard of anyone taking anything through those nostrils except for funny tricks.

But here he did seemed to be taking in something.He did not know if it was beneficial or not,so he tried to stop taking anything.He did succeed but he felt that he was forcing something unnatural to happen.He felt slight discomfort but nothing else.

He had remembered which plant gave a more good feeling to him and bit the bullet and ate it.He laid down then and there to await for his body to heal.

But it was taking unusually long, usually his arm injury would heal in few hours.If fracture then few days.But now the process seemed slow.Even some small scratches took more than 10 minutes to heal.And if not for that herb it might have taken more than 20 minutes which was very long for him compared to past.

Now that he felt better he started walking towards the source of voice.It would be best to stay in a group right now.He needed some sleep in this unknown place.

He was just walking towards the group when he felt strong vibrations followed by loud voices.They seemed to be saying something but he couldn't distinguish due to the distance.He decided to stop and observe what was happening.

He hid behind a bush like plant and peeked through its gaps.He saw that more than 80% of the group was safe and gathered together.They had equipped their weapons right now and were prepared for battle.Battles between people was nothing out of the ordinary for them before they arrived here.And that was the last thing they were afraid of.

Soon Allen understood what was the source of that loud tremor.It was a smaller version of horse found on their planet.

Their horse was user-friendly and would not even harm rabbits.While the one in front of him looked quite aggressive like eating people was a everyday matter.So terrifying.

Though they had made a nice entrance their strength seemed very low.The swords they held in their hands were very thin and might even break from a pinch from any person among them excluding him of course.

It seemed the group shared his viewpoint,they did not take the enemies seriously and they might not even bother with them if they were not at an unknown place which might be filled with dangers.

They were soon proved dead wrong as a spear like object thrown by an enemy riding on the horse penetrated right through the chest of man nailing him and the person behind him to the ground.The others were alarmed but alas it was too late,by the time they came to the massacre had begun.After 80% of remaining survivors had died they rounded everyone up.

The captain of ship was surprisingly still alive.

They asked who had the most authority in them and started torturing the man for their purpose here right in front of them.

Even though they were used to bloodshed,he was not.

The sight in front of him caused his sight to spin.

The internal organs were literally laying on the ground.And the captain had already spilled the beans.

So he could not trick them by saying he knew the information they needed.After torturing few more people, it seemed they had their fill and started loading the remaining people into carriages.

It seems they had come prepared but how could they be prepared in such short time.

Allen had just thanked the God for saving him and was gonna start walking towards another direction.However he saw a shadow of a person other than his on the ground.He was gonna jump away when he was hit on the neck with force and the last thing he knew was he lost consciousness.
