Chapter 5 - I Hate This World II

"I… Said… Likon my balls, bitch!" I do my best to shout despite it being just a barely audible whisper it's enough to cause the entire group to freeze. As I finish by spiting blood in this asshole's face.

And with that, I feel the pressure around my neck tighten until…

*SNAP*

And I lose all feeling in my body as a cold darkness fills my vision and the last thing I hear is Likon saying, "Good riddance scum."

[Achievement Unlocked: First Death- Murdered by the Angelic Scion of Clan Nudreen, Likon Nudreen for having the misfortune of crossing their path.]

The message passes across my screen before I wake up in the alleyway once more.

[Death Count: 1]

"Fuck!" I shout as I rub my neck and the phantom pain from being murdered by that asshole slowly subsides. "Who knew this game would be so violent! Shit!" I curse before digging around the trash to find a coat that I could use to hide my wings into and wrap my tail around my thin waist a couple of times to keep it hidden underneath my shirt before grabbing a crud-covered cap to hide my horn nubs.

Checking into the shattered mirror, I now look like a young elf instead of an incubus, though my features make me look a lot more androgynous than I anticipated with the clothing hiding my body even more making my body shape more indeterminate.

I also noticed that a bruise in the shape of a hand now wrapped around my neck.

I grabbed a scarf to cover up the wound.

"Fuck… I'll make due with this for now, but I seriously need to bulk up if I'm going to seduce any hot babes…" I say aloud before going back into the throng of the crowd to try and figure out what kind of world would let a murder happen in broad daylight.

Walking around this time, the looks I receive show a mix of pity, indifference, and occasional lust…

Except it's by shady-looking pervy old men who catcall me as I pass asking things like, "Hey baby,", "How much for an hour,", and "Come with me, I'll make you a real woman,", to which I respond with by either glaring at them, flipping them off, or cursing.

Needless to say they got the hint and I was able to explore this new world with a minimal amount of lecherous gazes impeding my study.

I pick up a discarded newspaper and find out that this world is called Aqua, and it has approximately the same amount of water my old world did, but lacks continents and instead a large number of archipelagos dot this world's oceans. Each island or chain of islands serving as the 'nation' of a race or races.

After snooping around I discover the 'Dark Zone' is about a quarter of the entire size of 'The Zone' and where most of the dark or traditionally evil races call their home. And only really powerful dark-raced individuals or those who travel in disguise can travel the rest of 'The Zone' without being harassed or degraded.

I definitely wasn't strong enough to be out in the open leading me to fall into the latter category.

I wander around the streets looking for food before eventually giving up and sleeping under the bridge in a park I was familiar with, luckily the city is pretty similar to the one I had been living in before falling out of my window.

Finding some dirty clothes to act as a makeshift blanket before sleeping for the night.

I wake up to a new notification.

[Achievment Unlocked: First Night in a New World- While not glamorous, you found shelter and were able to rest in relative safety.]
