- Mhmm!!! - tries to scream, he opens his mouth until he feels that he runs out of air, but there is no sound, it is like he only hears his own scream in his head.
- Hey hey hey, calm down, nothing is going to happen to you here - again that voice sounds, now like an echo through all this darkness.
As soon as Apollo hears that, his body seems to shut down, he suddenly stops feeling anything, better said, he has stopped feeling from his body to any emotion at the moment, he just keeps a neutral face at that moment.
- What is this, am I dead? Who is talking to me? - For some reason his voice is now heard, though it feels like speaking in his mind, as he can't even feel his mouth or throat moving.
An inconspicuous figure appears ahead, only a thin mouth and jaw that seem feminine, the rest seems to be covered by the same darkness or by some kind of veil so dark that does not make the difference.
- Despite not feeling anything you sound anxious human, but well, I guess I must answer your questions...
- Now you are in a place you call heaven, Hell, Valhalla, The Hel, Tartarus, Elysium or many other names you call it and before you go crazy again, no, you are not dead so there is nothing, although for atheists that is how it ends anyway.
I don't understand shit
He thought with a face like he had smoked something.
- I will ignore that gesture, there is not much time left, the reason you are here is to fulfill a task, to influence the destiny of a world different from your own.
Like an isekai? - Apollo answers with an expression of surprise and excitement.
- What? No. What is that?
- Eeh nothing, how am I supposed to do all that and why me, or am I dreaming?
- I don't have an answer for that, I only complied by choosing you, what happens from now on is up to you, but there is something important that you should keep in mind, I... I have several names... hehe, but you can call me Tan - Right after saying that a sadistic smile forms that covers all that could be seen of face, black and sharp teeth, they seem bordered with a purple.
She approaches him to the point of grabbing his face with both hands, where one is made only of bones, he manages to see his eyes, they are so black that they give the impression of being empty. He feels her body again at the touch of her hands, only to feel paralyzed by the figure before him.
- Your existence, your new life will be to satisfy me, you are the one chosen by me- as he says this he proceeds to push his thumbs towards his eyes, making them explode.
- Aaaagh!!! - An indescribable pain that goes through his body, he feels as if every nerve is being destroyed and recreated, something has changed inside him.
it hurts, it hurts, help!!!!!
He says to himself, as he cannot release the words of pain.
In the state of blindness he is in, he feels as if his body starts to rise at a high speed and suddenly an explosion of light in front of him.
- What, my eyes!!! - He touches his eyelids and realizes they are still there - What a relief, I think it was a nightmare, I think I fell asleep watching something from corpse husband or so.... - after calming down he takes a look around and realizes he's not in a familiar place at all.
- What the...! - he notices he's in some kind of pink forest, but everything around him within 10 meters seems to be withering or turning to dust, taking a better look below Apollo there's a strange looking summoning circle.
- T-this can't be true, right? - He sees how there are people kneeling in front of him, already dead and turning to dust, it seems that they have been there for a while because of their state of decomposition.
With his trembling hand he tries to pull his cell phone out of his pants pocket, although there is juice, it seems to be no signal at all.
- W-well this is not good at all... there is only one thing left to do in this situation... HEEEEEELPPP!!!!!
And so he started screaming at the top of his lungs until he almost lost his voice, after a while and almost losing hope, he hears something approaching from among the big pink trees.
Suddenly Apollo begins to feel pulsations in his eyes, he begins to see everything in a black and white color, a blood-red aura is seen where he heard the movements.
W-whatever it is, it doesn't look good.... And I'm not going to stick around to find out!
Instinctively, like a prey, it starts running in the opposite direction. Whatever is on the other side seems to notice the situation because it starts bellowing like a deer, but with a serious distortion.
- I'm in no shape for this shit! - he shouts as he feels at his limit, he hasn't run too much, but his lack of exercise is taking its toll and the creature is extremely close to him, to the point of feeling its presence on his back.
As he dodges the branches and trees that come his way, the world loses its colors again, his eyes pulsate again and begin to weep blood this time.
But... UGH!!!
Apollo feels as if something pierces his abdomen with something sharp, he looks and sees claws that quickly go up to his head and....
-Not yet
The world goes back to color and Apollo falls to his knees due to pain and dizziness.
I...
A few inches above his head a shadow passes only to fall in front, a beast full of black colored hair, twice as tall as a human, its legs look like deer legs and its arms are straight up like maces with spikes on it, and its head is the skull of a deer.
Apollo is in his limit and can no longer move, and when it looks like the beast is about to deliver a final blow.... A lightning bolt coming from the right through several trees impales the monster from its chest into the ground, revealing that the lightning bolt was actually a type of spear.
- JE, SOMEONE AS DEFENSELESS AS YOU SHOULD NOT BE IN THESE AREAS OF THE REGION - exclaims a voice that is both loud and kind at the same time.
A light almost as fast as the lightning from before approaches to pick up the spear.
From the ground, with blurred vision and what little consciousness Apollo has left, he sees an imposing figure before him, the back of a tall black man, full of muscles and scars, but not compared to his arm which seems to be made of lights and lightnings.
- Boy, you're not from here, are you? - He looks at Apollo with a worried face, his eyes are yellow and have a star in them.
Moments later, Apollo loses consciousness.
