Chapter 2 - Episode 1 The End and the Beginning (2)

My body feels too heavy, I can't even raise my hands high enough. I tried to open my eyes but it was too hard, I groaned as I tried to get up.

-mmh...ugh!...

The depth of the redness of the sky is frightening and the thunder is so loud.

There were loud footsteps running and a noisy atmosphere.

I first tried to take a deep breath before I got up.

-ugh, my back hurts.

" Where am I? As I remember I just….."

-AAHHHHH!!!

As I was trying to gather my senses about what the events were, why I came here or whatever had happened to me, I suddenly cried out in shock as a heavy-headed man fell suddenly at my feet. Even though I'm a doctor, it's funny that I'm screaming inside out of fear.

I kicked his scary head quickly, it looked like he had been hit hard with a heavy and sharp object, and I stood up quickly.

-eww, ugh..... By the way, where am I again?

As I was shaking the dirt off my clothes, I noticed that I was on a street. I went out to see where I was and was shocked by what I saw.

There road were broken, people running in fear, and I couldn't see any proper houses and structures. There were also break parts of the houses.

I did not think twice because I was so scared and I just followed where the people were shouting while running.

I was so scared, I didn't know what was going on, why the surroundings were so dark and what was the reason why all of the houses were broken, as if there was a massive war going on even though I couldn't see any military and aircraft around.

-HELP! HELP!!!! 

I turned to the scream I heard while running, an old man's scream. I didn't know if I would help him, but I tried to stop and walk in front of him, but I was very surprised when he suddenly disappeared in front of me.

-AAHHHH!!!!!

To my surprise, I slowly approached the corner where the old man's body went.

I don't know why I get more nervous with every step I take. My heart beats faster and it seems like I can't hear the noise around me.

-SHREIIIKKK!!!!!

I was about to see what was going on, but at the same time, what I heard got louder, a sound that seemed like something was teared loudly.

-gassp!!!....

"What happened?"

I suddenly froze at what I saw, the man who I saw earlier is now lying with his stomach open, and I got scared when I saw the creature looking at me with their sharp red eyes.

-AHHHH!!!

I was suddenly surprised when someone bumped into me and ran away.

-HEYYY! Watch out!!!

-ughh…my arm..

It seems that  I suddenly forgot my nervousness and the fear I was feeling earlier, I suddenly heard again the loud shouts of people running hard.

I continued to run where everyone was heading to. 

The scary things that I saw just faded in my mind, but I know that the strange creatures that I saw will stay from my memories.

(Panting hardly)

I had run for five minutes from where I stopped, I was very tired, my chest was tight, and my heart was beating fast, but the yelling seemed to have subsided without me realizing it.

My mind is still a mess, but I know that all of us here have only one thought, we are better off here.

I moved away from the crowd, I walked to the side of the road to rest, when I noticed that I was in front of a convenience store.

I tried to look around to see if anyone could see me, but I don't think anyone would have noticed me because we were all confused and shocked by the rapid events.

I also tried to peek through the window of the convenience store to see if anyone was there, but I was not surprised that there was no one and it was a mess.

I quickly went in and looked for something to drink.

(Crash)

-ohh no…sigh..

I stumbled because of a small rock, it is because some of the walls and ceiling are broken.

" I should be careful."

(Glugging)

I was able to rest for a while but I don't know how long I will stay here.

-Nghh..ahh..no..

"What's that?"

I was alarmed by what I heard, I heard a boy's cry from the other end of where I was standing.

I tried to approach slowly, and realized that it was coming from the stockroom. I don't know but I feel like I'm experiencing deja vu.

I tried to hide so that those inside the stock room wouldn't see me, I peeked and saw a child lying down and sobbing.

I was suddenly horrified by what I saw, but I knew it was more intense than what I had felt before. 

A creature I could not fathom, they have a long and hooked nose, bat-like ears. Their body shape is like a human, but it is shorter than human stature. In addition to this are their terrifying red eyes.

"  What's that? What are they holding w-where did they come from?"

I didn't know what to do, because they were armed, it looked like they were holding a medieval weapon, it is a metal ball surrounded by spikes that is attached to a handle.

When I saw this, I suddenly tried to turn around to leave.

"Should I just leave?"

But I feel guilty…

I took a deep breath and slowly walked away from the stockroom.

I immediately picked up the  rock I stumbled upon earlier and threw it at the glass to get their attention.

I waited for them all to come out to have a chance to enter. I followed every step of their feet so that I would not be heard and visited.

- shhh! settle down, come with me.

I quickly removed his hand when it was tied, I don't know why his hand was tied, but it looks like they have a plan to take him.

" hey! let's go. Where are you..looking .... and?

I don't know why his eyes widened as if he was afraid while I was talking to him, so I looked behind me, to my surprise that there was still one of them left.

But it is noticeable that it is smaller compared to those that came out.

"Hey kid, take the pipes near you, give them to me."

"yes, give it to me slowly"

I don't know if it is right to kill that small…and disgusting creature, but I also don't know if one hit should be enough to knock him down."

-On the count of three, run as fast as you can to get outside, okay?

-..o..okay..yes...

"I don't know if he will run the guards outside..but I don't know how will I get out of here."

"I should do this faster, before those creature outside catch me"

(inhale...exhale....)

-1....2...3 GOOOOO!!!

I tried to hit his head but I was very surprised when he suddenly fell down.

"Is..Is that it?"

I sat down because I was so nervous that I might die now.

I tried to go out but suddenly I tried to hide because the strange creatures outside came back. I secretly closed the door so that they wouldn't see me, but unfortunately, I was caught and I quickly closed and blocked the door with the pipe so that they will not be able to come inside.

When I turned around, I saw that the one I hit earlier was still alive. I immediately gave him a flying kick as if seen in the movies and punched him, but we both fell down.

- WWWWAHHHH!!!!!!! If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be here and stuck.

I continued to curse and punch him in the face until my anger disappeared, but I suddenly stopped and noticed that he was unconscious.

Suddenly I felt tired and my fist hurt, but the creatures outside won't stop banging on the door.

"I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't even know if this is the end."

"I don't even know why this is happening to me, where I am, and how I got here"

"Things are happening too fast, but I hope the child I saved earlier is still safe now"

"But why does it seem weird, it's like I've been experiencing deja vu for a while, the strange things that are happening right  now are like..it's like I've seen it before, it happened before but I just can't remember it"

"What's the point, this is the end for me anyway, is this my second life?"

"Am I going to talk to myself again until I go crazy again, like how I did before I die?"

"Is something going to…pop out again? Will I see weird things again? It's like a screen in front of me again-?"

[ Congratulations!!! ]

I don't know if I'm seeing thing again, but I know this is what I saw before I died in my first life.

They say that everything starts from small things. Goblins are small and fast, they have different kinds of medieval-club like weapons. Finding out their predictable moves, the possibility to level up for new players will improve, in addition to this they easily feel fear.
