Chapter 4 - 4: Good Ol' Plot Armor

*Stardew Valley OST- Stardew Valley Overture*

[what is 'Krartaxezemuth' anyway] Specs said.

Heh. I do appreciate the inquisitive mind of Specs.

He adjusted his glasses and ponder [Sounds like gibberish of a toddler. Hoo... Quite interesting, I might say]

.... Okay, Screw you!

[Where did you get the idea from?] Conny picked his nose with a careless expression.

"Heh. Bits of here and there... In short, a lot," I replied

Then he clicked his tongue and said, [uh-huh. Figures]

Chuni fixed himself up from the ground. Bruised but not bleeding [Sephiroth's name is cringy enough and added that with the plethora of cringy names... I-I can't even describe how embarrassing this is]

Dazed and confused. Monk pouted his lips [...She-phi-foth?]

Chuni facepalmed as he scrambled his tiny mind of his fatty body on the meaning of Monk's cluelessness.

[Hey! That's insulting] Chuni replied.

"Waa... you figured it out just now? Bravo" *slow clap*

[Eh! Quit yah yapping! Yu' Sully lots!] as Antique shouted as down. He then ran, while his belly jiggles, towards the First-person view screen and pointed at it [I think that's a tad important]

Conny is the first one to speak up [What about it?]

With a serious face, Antique lashed out [We'd inside a forest!! So many greens!! A Before' is full of white and a blue, but now this is green! why is it!]

[Again, What about it?] Conny replied

[--Ihh... let me handle it] Specs interrupted Conny as he skips his way towards Antique,

he added [shh- listen up old man...] then continued to distract him from his elderly thoughts

[yea- what are you doing quote-unquote 'sephiroth'] with the unhelpful gesture and the sarcastic tone of Chuni as he asks me.

I pursed my lips and made a responsive hum... and he did not like that reply at all.

Then I continued brisking my way.

--------

*Earlier*

So what am I doing? what happened earlier, you ask?

Let's see

Falling towards my death (Farking Liar! - Conny) and almost drown at that! (It enrages me so much how you exaggerate things- Specs) Thank Kami-sama, I am still alive! (You gonna be high fiving Kami-sama real soon, dickhead- Chuni)

As they started their usual bickering, as I am currently lying down on my back, staring at the sky, I can't help but wonder that I am-- Argh! Stupid grass! Made my butt itch.

I can't help but wonder that I really am here... except for the added nuisance that is stuck with me. Everything is so unbelievable. The feel of getting dragged to another world, this heavy disbelief that no words can describe, this... uh... adventure? New start? creating a harem? -- I don't know. Use your imagination.

Now, obviously, drench, I sat up and got a good look at the pond. It mostly resembles those secluded paradises that you see on social media... clean, pristine, undeniable beauty, and surely have its mystery. I may be wasting so many people's time describing this place. Still, the sudden comment of Antique does undoubtedly make it worthwhile [Ey! Ey! Ey! look over there. A showy cave that looks like a coochie of a smooth lassy from a winter night comes springtime. Ha! Ha! Ha!] as he pointed out the cave where the water is probably coming from. Aptly naming it [I want it! Hoochie Coochie! It is!] that sparked an eerily interest from Monk. He stared down on Antique and described that he should be restraining himself from perverting nature.

I stood up, with the muddy mess I am in... I need a bit of a cleanup. I crawled towards the waters' edge. Staring at my reflection from the pond. That grey silver hair is messed up with all the mud and dirt from the ground. That green-colored eye... well, the other one is blue. I can't remember Sephiroth having that... nevertheless, it's there. My Physique is currently of those at 7-8 years of age. That novice gear/apparel from Ragnarok Online is there, but where is that green sims crystal? Really was hoping I'd see it floating but oh well.

From the name, Sephiroth... I am still wondering why I chose it. I can't blame any of you if it's cringy. That name... well, it's cool (Fight me) that's the reason behind it—nothing else. Well, don't expect much from me, I panicked. The other name's a bit tricky at the moment cause the stupid naming bar said "Name already exists" a lot of times which infuriated me to a large degree. I'm not in the mood to discuss the other long name with you, but I can discuss the last name with you.

Dovsenjuelric. An amalgamation of names. Dovah, Dragons from Elder Scrolls. Senju - A family line in Naruto. Elric from Full Metal Alchemist…

Wait a sec, I need to clean myself up for a bit. A bit of water here, A bit of splashy there. A lot of water for the back of my head. I just realized that having long hair is quite annoying. Irritating rather.

Continuing on. I gung ho on the naming part cause it pissed me so much that the name "Cloud Strife" was already taken. But I kinda dumb it down when considering using "Isaac Clarke" name... for mental health reasons…

Dovah. Senju. Elric. This three name indeed carries weight, doesn't it? A Dragon-ninja-alchemist? kinda weird if we put it that way. As of now, no such things are happening or anything related to them... it might just be a flavor text.

I scratch my head and thought, "Now what?" here I am, thrust into another world and now to this situation. where do we go from here? I certainly am controlling this body. Those idiots are just in for the ride. Nothing will go wrong if I just head along the animal path, right?

-------------------------

*present*

[Antique is! or was? Stressing that you should not be walking along the animal path... Nor going away from the meadow] Specs Proclaimed.

"Sigh. Here we go again" I stop. I look. I listen. and my head starts to hurt again…

"Now what?" I asked with irritation

[He said that you shoul--] I don't know why but Chuni's voice gets on my nerve in the most absurd ways.

"I know what he said!" I cut Chuni off.

[Hearing from their elders is always a wise choice, Boy] As Monk nonchalantly passes this bit of saying (command)

I thought about it... I still don't want it but got outvoted for it.

Sigh.

[Okay. Let's hear you out] as I twirl my foot on the ground.

[Ouo. Signs of submission... hehehe] then Specs giggled away.

[Oyy! Oy! Ou! staph your barnanging nuisances] as Antique shouted at Specs. he fixes his collar then points his finger at the screen then timidly gestures at it. [Boy yo. The angsty ol' me just a tad wolly cause yur alone on this patchie, and there's a good chance that you'll get some unsuspecting danger... A larder of advice. Do not jolly around the wood parts when yar still watery]

"Did not understand one bit, Sir."

[That the spirit!] and he just laughed it off.

...but then, Conny spoke up

[You gonna die, kid]

I flinched at that statement.

"Why?" I asked.

[I'm pretty sure you are gonna die now, kid] and he clicked his tongue. Hinting at a direction.

[Oh. Plot Progression! Can the protagonist survive this confrontation?] somewhat, Chuni's voice changed, much like an experienced voice actor.

Honestly, why with sudden caution. it's not like something out here to kill me…

"What in the he--" Oh no.

As I did a double-take when I look ahead. There it was, A lone wolf with blue body fur and white shimmers. Wolfs from our world does not have that kind of pigment. Looking at me, and when I looked at it. The wrong move, I might say... cause it is now moving towards me... slowly. This just solidifies the current situation we are in. that we are in a different world. That I am about to die... Again.

[Old man, How'd you know this will happen?] as Chuni finds a seemingly different conclusion to the situation. He added [I think it's impossible for wild animals to smell us since we are wet. won't it get hard for our scent to get picked up by them?]

[Oh! astute observation, my fellow scientist] Specs said as he found a likable subject from Chuni. he added [I do also like to question this flow of logic. Seems unexpected?]

Antique sighed a heavy breath ['Been to the wild yet, lads?] he asked

[I usually just stayed at my room... so no.] Chuni said

[If you are considering the aspect of scien...] as Specs stopped as he saw that Antique is looking at him, mockingly. [No. I have not.]

[Then my good ol' story buddies...] then he looked at the screen where my eyes are locked with the eyes of the wolf [This is the wild!]

"Guys, u-uh --any suggestion will be nice," as I stay relatively still while being so nervous inside. Frantically hoping for any answers as I lock eyes with the wolf.

[You know, that thing is still going to kill you even if you just stay still] Conny pointed out

Not the answer I was looking for.

"Thank you very much, you shitty son of a bitch" as I retorted back.

[LANGUAGE!] as Monk shouted. Annoyed with the statement and the tone that I blurted out.

"[[[[IHH!!]]]" his booming voice (yet amazing voice) has jolted us from our arguments

As it stuns us from our arguments, In a few seconds and returns to sobriety, the rest of the power rangers (damn fools). Started showering me with bits and pieces of their scolding, insults, and the complete desire for me to die again (Chuni is the one doing this). I don't really stress it out that much at this point cause I am more stressed out. After all, the wolf is starting to gradually move faster by the moment. I am still not moving as the moments go by. Not a happy sign of things to come.

"I NEED HELP! YOU STUPID..."

... and then a bear showed up and mauled the wolf…

We were stammered with the current happening. The addition of the bear is surely a surprised one and indeed a welcome one.

As for Chuni and me, we are treating it as luck from the Gods. But not so much from the others. Especially from Antique.

[A cliche' save, huh? BUT! we are now on the path to being a protagonist!] Chuni celebrated

[Perplexing but highly intriguing. Wonders of karma is wonderfully unexpected.] as commented by Monk

[Boyyo, ar' yah sure its okay to be prancing around and celebrating? Me sure that thing is not friendly] as Antique tried to persuade me

"Uhm... Specs? Help?"

[What? Do I look like I can speak bear? Tell it to shoo!] as he said in a mocking manner

H-h-how am I gonna know that thing is not gonna eat me?!

Okay-okay-okay-okay. Breathe in

Breathe out…

This situation is bullsh--

*snap*

As I instinctively move back a bit when trying to sort out what to do with the bear. As I did, I broke a twig. The bear reared its head, looking for the sound, and now I am staring dead ahead with those huge eyes and its bloody teeth. Wrong move, Boy. Outstandingly, wrong move.

[Recken' its a good boy? a kind of care bear thingy?] said, Conny

[Gasp. How'd you know about carebears?] said Chuni excitingly

*ROAR

[Heh, kid. Well, that answered for itself.] Specs Remarked

The bear is running. The Bear is Running. THE BEAR IS RUNNING!!! AT ME!

[RUN!] as Conny was the first one to react

---------------------

Alright. Overlord here... NO! N-n-no. Stop calling me Chuni. Since we're in another world, it is only fitting that you call me this. Just you wait, when I get out of this mess, I'll rule the world! be so OP! have my own harem! And I'll be the face slapping god that I am!

... but for now, I will be telling you of the situation. So here's the bit…

First! some background music!

*Pokemon - battle theme music

Alright. The situation is this, as this stupid 'Sephiroth' finally snaps out of his stupor. he frantically ran away from the hungry-looking bear-- or a very angry bear? No idea. but something the old oji sure does speak of it a lot(Antique)

The current happening can be summarized into like the battle menu from Pokemon... I swear to Kami-sama if you don't know what Pokemon is... Argh! Oh, wait. I'm sorry.

Back to topic.

To summarize this, The Fight tab is Antique, The Pokeman switch tab is Monk, the bag is Conny, the run tab is currently being done already. I'm the narrator. Specs is fascinated with the bear and has ignored the rest of us altogether. Lastly, the sleeping one among us that is so useless is Leth.

Alright, up to speed? Good.

Antique is spewing all sorts of "suggestions" to do for the bear or against the bear. All were outright rejected cause we tried the 'make yourself as large and as noisy as possible. But us having the body of an 8-year-old and the voice of it too... let's just say that we dodge a slap from it, and it chunked out a considerable amount of the tree.

So we were adamantly against anything that requires us to stop for a sec.

For Monk, He's like a mother figure... in terms, he nags a lot for many things. Like running properly as we almost die. Breathe properly as we ran for our lives, and be thankful as we are still alive... hopefully, we can keep ourselves alive.

The reason why I said he's the pokemon switching tab is the main reason for his nagging. Damn old man starting shouted at everyone for anything.

That black Oni... Conny... I still hate him for beating me up... he does makes sense when he confronted us with the knowledge of "having a freaking backpack with nothing on it, but still fucking wearing it," he said. For our current getup has a backpack but with nothing on it. He continued on nudging 'sephiroth' to fiddling around. Looking for anything... he gave up moments later and told 'Sephiroth' to grab some sticks along the way. Throw it into the ground and hope it sticks so it can be a makeshift barricade.

Did it work? Of course not. Did not even make a dent in it or hurt it but only made it angrier or hungrier?? or both?

8-9 yrs of age looking kid, running away from a bear... hmm.

Huh. Why are we (him) even still alive?

P-P-P-PLOOT!! ARMOR!!

Cue some stupid theme music!
