Claude already trapped here for 3 months. No wonder I never receive any news about Claude before I go to Lundeberg territory.... Maybe the Emperor nervous when the duke suddenly disappear from main wall against Demon Territory....
Emperor is coward. He remain sit in his throne, enjoy his life while the commoner struggle in hunger and danger demon invasion. When Grand Duke Claude disappear which his main shield, he become anxious and scared. He afraid that none will manage the protection of his empire from demon.
Maybe that's why he granted Claude's request. Because he think that Claude disappear on purpose. The Emperor need Claude but that guy.... Claude Lundeberg hate the Emperor. What a interesting master and slave relationship—
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
BUUKKKKKK!!!!!
Morgan immediately lay on ground with dirty clothes and face meanwhile she get bruise on her hands and legs. Her body feel so hurt and sore everywhere.
Ah. I forget that I'm training.
Morgan's blue eyes look at Claude's eyes. Her body still lay on ground as she look at Claude that stand clearly safe with no injuries.
"Kid, focus. If you keep dreaming on, your neck will be gone now." Said Claude with smug.
Morgan complain with fake tears, "Sir Claude.... Can't you be little gentle? My body is hurt you know... I'm just child."
"You little shit. If you want survive, get up!! Your training isn't over yet!!" Claude shout with harsh and cold.
"Yes sir...." Morgan immediately stand up and correct her position into combat. She ready to give free punch to her teacher, Claude.
After discuss with Claude, Morgan decide to learn how to survive. She have to learn about combat, weapon and nature about Abyss World. To be honest, she thought everything going easy but....
Yep, It's not easy like I thought.
THUMPP!!!
Morgan's body was lifted up and slammed into ground without mercy. She about vomited that how many times she get hit into ground.
Claude look at Morgan's with cold eyes. He really don't show any mercy just how many times he throw Morgan into ground, "Get up, lazy kid. "
"Sir Claude, Are you try to kill me?" Ask Morgan furiously and threats tone.
That motherfucker. He say he will tea h me but the things is, THAT'S NOT TEACH BUT BEAT!!! HE BEAT ME WITH NOT MERCY!!! THIS IS CHILD ABUSE!! CHILD ABUSE—
"MORGAN LAURENGHER!!!"
Ah. Shit, He use my full name. Dammit.
When she hear Claude shout her full name, Morgan immediately stand up and salute to Claude, "Yes, Sir!!!"
Everyday is hell. Morgan have to learn to survive and at same time, she has to avoid danger with monster nearby. She learn how to make campfire, arrow, medicine herb and poison herb.
Sadly, she can't eat the monster meat too much. There's not food in Abyss World. Even fruit over here, isn't exist in other world. There's too much poison tree that Claude have to remind Morgan to sharp her smell sense.
Morgan and Claude have to eat monster meat. Sometimes, there's poison meat that Claude already live here longer than Morgan. So, he know which poison or not. Morgan don't know how Claude can survive if he don't know which is poison or not but she know Claude have high poison resistance that high than normal human. So, no wonder Claude can survive.
[4 months later....]
It's been 4 months Morgan live in Abyss World and 7 months for Claude. Both of them grow up have good relationship as mentor and students.
Tap! Tap!! Tap!!!
Claude running chasing something in middle dark forest. It's small monster, like pig but have several horns. Why he chasing that things?
For dinner, of course.
"Oi, kid!! Get ready!!"
Far from there, up on tree, the shiny steel arrow ready to release. Morgan aim her arrow to the pig with horns, ready to kill it.
FOR DINNERRR!!!!!!!! Morgan shout inside her heart as she shoot the pig eyes.
Thud!!!
"BAAAEEEEEKKKKK!!!!!"
The pig let out goat screaming as it collapse on ground. Why would pig with horn but sound like goat? I don't know, maybe because Abyss World isn't normal, I guess?
Morgan jump off from tree to another tree and land safely. She run into the pig that already take by Claude.
"Nice!! Headshot!!!" Morgan scream victory with happy.
"It's bull's-eye. I guess you have little improvement." Said Claude as he take the pig and carry on his back.
"Oh come on!! Sir Claude, It's not little!! It's big!! I already mastered archery, medicinal, poison, trap and dagger in 4 months!! Praise me a little!! I'm just child!!"
Claude sighed as he put his hands on Morgan's hair. He immediately give her headpat that cause Morgan feel happy!!
"Where's my praise, Sir Claude!!?" Ask Morgan with hopeful child smile.
"Nope." And Claude just decline coldly.
"Ehhhhh..."
[Cave — Abyss World]
Claude immediately cut the pig without waste time. It's for dinner!! What do you expect!!? It's not always they can get this meat!!
In abyss, search food is absolutely hard as fuck. Some of monster have poison meat and smell meat. Some of them have appearance like rot meat and some of them have..... Little friend that we call it's caterpillar.
Morgan take side beside campfire while Claude cut the meat into pieces, "Sir Claude, how long we going be here?"
Claude sighed with annoyed, "For 206 times, I don't know. Can you stop ask me the same question for over 4 months?"
"Hehehe... I just want to annoying you. Don't be—"
Plakk!!!
One slice of monster pig arrived on Morgan's face. Morgan give confused face when Claude just throw meat into her face. She then look at Claude who very piss off right now.
"How about you shut your mouth before I'm the one who going shut it?"
"Gulp!! Yes sir...." Morgan turn around and put meat she get on black plate to cook the meet. Under the black plate, there's fire who burn friendly (Seriously, I don't know what to say).
Claude take sit in front the campfire and cook his pig meat on black plate. He then noticed something wrong with Morgan, "You get hurt again?"
Morgan startled and notice where Claude look. It's scar on her hands, "Ah! Yeah... I fall into cliff when I search herbs for my little experiment."
"I know you already get adapted in this crazy world but.... You still human. Don't let your mind lose against them.... Or you going be monster like them."
Morgan know what Claude's mean. In Abyss World, eat monster meat is absolutely crazy idea. The more you eat them, the more you become powerful. It's can increase your strength, speed and sometimes physical body.
For example, one day, you trapped in abyss world and there's no food. You catch monster and eat them. You body will slowly adapted into this nature, accepted the meat into your stomach but sometimes you will lost your humanity.
The more you eat them, the more you lost your humanity. And then, lastly, you going be monster.
Eat them is death wish. There's chance you get poison, there's chance your body have monster trait, there's chance you get strong and there's chance you will see heaven in one bite.
Most of monster meat in Abyss World can give you hallucination. It's common if you get hallucination after you eat monster meat but some of them can luring you to turn into monster. Your body going be giant or small, disgusting creatures and mindless. To eat monster meat, you have strong mind and don't get fool easily.

[The next day....]
"Sir Claude, I will go now!!" Said Morgan as she leave the cave.
"You better come back or I'll make you new gravestone!!"
"Alright, sir!!"
In this happy morning, Morgan decide to hunt near their cave because she so fucking bored. The morning in Abyss World is slight dark and and full with fog everywhere. It's not heavy fog but Morgan can see.
To make sure she don't get lost, she something mark the tree every time she passed, So Claude can search her. She shouldn't go far away from cave because who know? Maybe there's monster around?
Morgan jump on big rock in river one by one. She carry her bow and pack of arrow behind her, "So fucking boring.... How long I'm going trapped here?"
While she walk around searching her prey, something stare at her from far. Don't know what it is but Morgan feel someone stare at her.
Someone watch me? Monster?
Morgan immediately pull her bow and arrow. She pointed her bow around with alert, who know? Maybe it's monster?
"Gaaaauuurrrr!!!!!"
Suddenly, something dark, black attack Morgan from back. When Morgan's eyes turn into that things and widened with shocked, Morgan can see giant wolf open their mouth, ready to bite her.
"Shit!!"
Shooww!! With instantly, Morgan shoot the wolf with her arrow and jump off from there. She landing far from that wolf. The wolf screaming with pain when the arrow enter it mouth. The pain is temporarily, soon, the wolf recovered from pain because THIS IS ABYSS WORLD!! WHAT DO YOU EXPECT!!? IT'S CRAZY WORLD WITH CRAZY MONSTER!!!
"Fuck! Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck!!!!" While running away from the wolf that chasing her, Morgan continue swearing non-stop.
"FUUUUUUUUUCCCCCKKKK THIS WORLD!!!!!"
