Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Chapter 1, the Boy and the Tree

All Words past this point are old, really old...

I'm currently re-writing all the story while trying to keep the MC inside the new plot.

Don't expect anything new to come out. Current story is not good, don't read it :)

Start of Chapter 1.

Chapter 1 Ver.5 (Future edits are to be expected)

All Grammer mistakes are being blamed on Grammarly!

-----

On a sunny field, where the sunlight shone on the ground giving the area the image of a pure place, stood a naked boy, his dark hair blown by the strong warm wind.

The Boy looked up to the sky, his dark eyes starting to water up with tears as he remembered his creator's words once again.

``Go and explore the world I've created, just remember never come back to this land, for you deserve not to be here!. . Goodbye.''

The boy's legs became like noodles as he fell to the grassy ground. He cried for seven whole days, and he sobbed there, where his creator abandoned him.

On the 7th day, the Boy wiped his watery face and stood up from the ground.

He once again looked up to the blue sky. Clouds were floating. The wind was still warm as it was the 1st day.

The Boy looked right, then left, on his left side was a tree, the tree was dead, the small number of brown leaves still left on the tree's branches were blowing by the wind.

The Boy looked at the trunk of the tree. He lifted his left hand and felt the rough tree surface with his hand. He said in a quiet voice, "I'm sorry, sister, it was because of what I did. It was all my fault.. ".

After several minutes of self-talking and apologizing to his sister, the Boy looked again at the sky before shouting with a trembling voice that could shake the ground, "Bormah!".

The name of his Father.

Three days have passed since the 7th day of sobbing. The Boy is walking through the dry land of sand. Because of who he was, he didn't need to drink, eat or sleep. He will be titled by the future generations, The First SosGod. (SosGod means demigod. If you want me to change it, please tell me.)

The Boy walked through the land of sand, searching for meaning within the world, or just searching for something that he didn't even know.

The Boy ambled, bathing himself in the sunlight of the hot sun as he did so in the last two and a half days, now in front of him was a small weird yellow hairy creature, the Boy looked at the being like he just saw something astonishing.

Boy's POV:

After three nights and days of walking, I finally found a living being! It has four tiny hairy legs and two big nippers. I wonder if it can speak?

"Hello? May I ask, what is your name?"

After I asked the creature the question, it started running away. I guess it's shy? Maybe it's having a bad day or something. I think I'll just follow him for now.

"Come on! Do something rather than just wandering around. Speak or something. I'm bored.." I asked the creature after 3 minutes of following it. The living entity just walked randomly. It doesn't seem to understand what I'm understanding, but what's annoying is how he looks! There is yellow sand everywhere I look, and this creature is yellow too, so it's tough to follow it. If I look away for even a second, it's like he went invisible.

It has been two whole hours now. The creature just killed a long yellow being that had like a billion legs. It looked disgusting, but I guess for the animal, it's a delicious meal or something because it ate it in only a few seconds.

"AHHH, you're boring! Do something!". I shouted at the creature. It's the 2nd day of following it. I started calling it by name. I dubbed him Scorp! Scrop the Boring.

"Hi~ Scrop~ Do you want to play a game? If you don't answer me, I'll take it as a yes!"Scorp didn't answer, so I started to think of an excellent game to play with him. To be honest, I don't know any games Scorp and I can play.

"Scorp! Do you know any good games to play?". After I asked Scorp, he started running in the direction where the sun sets before nighttime. I assumed what Scorp wanted to play, So without even thinking a second time, I turned around and started to run in the opposite direction to where Scorp ran!

To be honest, I don't know what kind of game we're playing, but I'm too bored to think about it.

I ran for a long time before I got bored of running, so I looked back, and then I realized something.

'Where is Scorp? Is he waiting for me where he stopped running?'. I looked behind me with that thought in mind. I looked behind me. Scorp was somewhere in that direction, I thought to myself, but I didn't know exactly where. I have to find him. I can't lose my first friend. I don't want to lose him. We just met a few days ago!

The sun rose behind me as I started to run at top speed to where Scorp ran, I ran and ran, but I never saw Scorp. I did see other creatures, but not Scorp.

I searched for him for days, telling myself that I might just see him waving his small little nipper at me when we meet, around us his friends, smiling at me and thanking me for accompanying Scorp for all those long hard days.

I ran for more than a week. My thoughts were now clouded. My only will is to go to where the sun sets and meet my friend, nothing else.

I saw lots of new things on my way that I'd never seen before, but I ignored them. I started to think again about my sister and how my actions made her suffer and my father mad.

I started to think about the day before my banishing, only a tiny mistake, which made all my life turn upside down.

My sad thoughts got cut though as I saw a giant mountain in the distance, the big mountain reached above the clouds, it looked amazing, like, well, a big mountain, I've never seen something that big and tall before!

As I got closer to the mountain, I saw dirt, finally something that wasn't yellow!

I think I was in that sandy land for over a month, but now, finally, some dirt, solid ground!

Looking around, I saw a weird creature once again, but now it wasn't yellow, but a black-furred creature with weirdly shaped horns!

"Hello! Who are you!? I've nev-" I wanted to know what the creature's name was, but before I could finish I saw his friends coming near him, his friends were much bigger than him, it looked just like the creature but like two or three times bigger!

I wanted to talk with the creature's friends and tell them hello, but then the biggest out of the creature's friends walked ford and looked down, showing me his big sharp, weirdly shaped horns. It started doing some weird dance with his legs before starting to rashing at me, I was a little bit spooked by the sudden change of behavior, but the large creature's friend stopped, then it started making weird growling sounds that I couldn't understand the meaning of does he wants to be friends?.

"Hello friend, it seems like we don't speak the same language, I know you might not understand what I'm saying, but would you be kind enough to tell me your name?"

I wanted to start talking with that creature. After all, it was the first creature that reacted to what I was doing without just running away.

It also seems like they have a language of their own, so I need to be friendly with them to learn their language.

I don't know what I did wrong, maybe I said something offensive in their language, but the creatures started to run away from me after my question, even the big creature ran away.

I didn't chase them. After all,l if someone started to speak to me in a language I don't know, I'd also be a little freaked out. Maybe they're all scared of outsiders?

I ignored the running creatures and started to walk to what looked like a massy body of water with a tone of green weirdly shaped trees.

I walked up to the water, I looked at the water, seeing how I look, I remembered my father and sister, after all, we all looked alike.

I forced myself to not cry about the past, after all, I can't change the past, I can't go back to the past and change it.

If I could I would've asked Scorp where we should meet after finishing the game.

I took some water in my hands and washed my dirty face, I didn't wash in over a month, I probably smelled, maybe that's why those creatures ran when they saw me? Maybe that's why the big creature's friend stopped midway from getting near me because I smell?

I went into the water, washing the dirt off my body, even though it was ice cold, I didn't stop, I didn't want to smell bad, it's much harder to make new friends if you smell rather when you smell really nice! That's what I told myself as I forced myself to wash the yuck off.

I washed every part of my body, then I noticed a pair of eyes that were of another weirdly shaped creature was looking at me.

That creature looked like a rock, it had weird spikes on his body, it looked kinda creepy, but it didn't attack me, it only stared, so I just ignored it, maybe he's just judging the newcomer, which is me.

I splashed some more water on myself, but then I looked at the rocky long creature, it was slowly swimming closer to me, so I assumed it wanted me to leave his waters, after all, I didn't ask for permission to lave here.

I took the lead and left the water, I was really wet, but then I heard a weird splashing sound coming from behind me, I looked behind me and saw the weird rocky long water creature biting me with its long jaws, his mouth had many sharp teeth, blood started to run out of my leg.

It felt weird, is that how it feels to be eaten alive?

I looked at the creature that's biting my leg.

I opened my mouth to speak, and said.

"Ahu sorry, but you're biting me, could you please stop?"
