*shaaa*
When Dante opened his, he was in a standing position. All around him was rain, so much that it was impossible to see more than five feet away.
Being familiar with these situations, Dante tried to be on guard and as vigilant as possible. Most of the time, this kind of situation resulted in him being killed in a way or another.
There was nothing anywhere near him, the ground was covered in black rough rocks. In the distance, he could barely see a massive flow of water, probably from the humongous amounts of rain.
Like before, he tried to explore. He had already been here before but just for a brief instance. Thinking logically, he tried to go up the flow as it meant that it there was a higher spot there.
It also secured his life because he wouldn't fall into some unseen pit hole. J
Just as his journey began, the rain became even heavier, it was as if the clouds had been doubled and so did the amount of rain falling on him.
At first, it was bearable but now he could feel his body becoming more limp as his every movements required him a lot of efforts.
Fortunately, it wasn't too cold or he would have had to worry about his head being slowly grinded away.
And so, he continued like that, slowly making his way toward the opposite flow of the huge river.
…
He hadn't had time to observe his environment but now, he could see it. The sky didn't appear, instead, black blue clouds could be seen.
He had been walking for what felt like hours, he was getting bored. If before the rain was unbearable, now it was impossible to survive without protection.
Luckily for him, when a hails of ice shards would fall on him, his torn and massacred limbs would regrown back in a few seconds. He had already lost his upper Academy's outfit which had been torn away with his limbs.
He could maintain a mana enhanced state so he used his healing mutation which allowed him to make a chitin armor on his shoulders, hands and forearms.
They didn't quite a good job at first but now, everything had become more in every fields be it number, speed and quantity.
The ice shards at first were repelled but now, they would straight up cripple and mutilate him.
He knew that he would come back here if he died but he would always make the same dreams, meaning that at one point or another, you had to face it.
Now he was considering giving up, his mana need for reattaching his limbs was small but now he needed to regrow them. His stamina was running low too.
Just as he was about to give up and lay his neck bare for the ice shards to destroy, he felt the ground shake violently. As if there was a land slide.
The rain of ice shards suddenly disappeared but the rain still kept going on, he fell on his butt then started being rolled around by the land slides.
After a few moments, everything calm down, Dante had closed his eyes and was hugging his neck in case something heavy fell on him.
When he realized it had calmed down, he opened his eyes then tried to stand up but quickly fell back.
Underneath him, what was a rocky ground now was as transparent as glass, underneath this transparent matter was something red.
At first he couldn't make sense out of it but after sometime, he felt his body shudder in fear.
What was the red glowing glow was in fact a humongous iris…
It was so big that he felt even smaller than a grain of sand before a skyscraper.
He had only understood what it was when it started following his movements, and its iris trying to adapt to the incoming light.
Preparing to be killed like always, Dante closed his eyes. Waiting for the morbid or instantaneous dead but was only met with silence.
When he reopened his eyes, nothing had changed.. Just when he thought he was finally safe, he started hearing squeaks coming from everywhere.
Confused, he tried to look out around him, the rain had greatly diminished, making his line of sight go farther away.
He however found nothing, then as if trying to look in the sky to know why the rain had diminished, he saw them…
They weren't gonna crawl on the ground like he thought but were in fact flying above him. They were extremely ugly deformed bird like
monsters.
Their bodies seemed to have mutated as if their entire beings were covered in cancers trying to grow out of their bodies, they were covered in fly like eyes but they had one thing in common. They all were staring at him….
Dante could guess that they were in the hundreds of thousands in numbers….
Before he could make any movement, they all swarmed him, as if battling for a prize. He could feel his skin being torn apart, his limbs cut off and eyeballs gouged out.
Before he could even make the slightest sound, his whole body had disappeared from existence…
...
"Haaa!" Dante violently woke up, gasping for air, he then gritted his jaw and shouted,
"I am tucking tired of this senseless shit! System! Why the fuck does this keep happening to me?! I'm sure this is not normal in this world right?! "
{How should I know? I am but an analyzing and support program. Find a way to reconnect to the Council and maybe we can find something.}
"As useless as always…" He dissed the system.
{Bit it's not necessarily only a bad thing :)}
"Stop being creepy again and how the hell is that supposed to be useful? Should have someone else experienced something like me then they would have gone mad!"
{I wonder :]}
