When the current slowly died down, it was time for me to swim to shore. The water was cold, muddy, you could'nt see anything under the surface. I wanted to get out of the large lake, since i was always afraid of large bodies of water. Especially, when you cannot see anything under.
I was close to the shore, but, for some reason i felt something wrapping on my leg. I was getting nervous, i had hoped it is not a unknown creature. I had trouble swimming, because of whatever had wrapped around my leg.
I tried to kick it, but, it did not affect the grip of this unknown creature. It was still holding on my leg, like an octopus refusing to let go. I tried to swim farther, for some reason it did not want me to swim away from its grasp.
My body was beginning to feel the coldness of the water, my arms and legs grew tired and soreness began to show. Thinking that i f i don't reach land anytime soon, if my body refused to move anymore, then i will for sure drown inside this river.
Panic began to spiral down inside my head "how do i get out of this?" Those words was the only thing that was going on inside my head. With the water slowly going inside my mouth and nose, i began to struggle catching air.
I panicked, i was kicking rapidly onto the creature that was holding me. With signs of it loosening its grip, i began to swim away.
My body felt heavy, since i was wearing shoes, i had a difficult kicking afloat. My arms did'nt want to swim no more, i began to swallow some of the water. It was one of my worst nightmare, at one moment i had passed out, the next thing i knew, i was on the shore. Laying down on my stomache, with sand sticking onto my face.
I looked around to see where i was, trying to remember what happened. I looked at my leg, there was a suction like mark on my left leg.
"This must from that unknown creature"
I sat so i could regulate my breathing, my body felt heavy, my ears were ringing, some water got inside my ear, i tried to get the water out my ear. My clothes were wet, i decided to take them off and hang them on a nearby tree branch.
I tried to make fire, so that my clothes could dry faster, so glad that i brought some lighters with me. I was only wearing my boxers, i looked at the time and it was already 5:40.
"Damn, its almost night"
The sun was setting fast, i had to make a fire and shelter real quick. I grabbed the machete that i placed inside my inventory when that Fenrir tackled me. There were a lot of dead branches that were hanging on a tree, i decided to gather at least many branches to last me through the night.
After gathering fire wood, i chopped off some trees so that i could make a shelter. After an hour, it was already night, it was 6:50 in the evening. The air got much colder, at least my clothes were dry and not wet.
I was checking my environment, in case that Fenrir suddenly appears. I bought some flashlights with me that i got earlier, from "borrowing" from the mall. It really got handed, i was glad that i had thought about bringing some flashlights, and also lighters.
I was getting hungry, so i grabbed some canned goods out the inventory and cooked it over the fire.
The smell took over my nose, it was like it was chasing the aroma of the food.
"Am i really this hungry?"
I asked my self, my mouth was watering and wanting to eat.
"I guess it was when i swam the river, the reason i am this hungry"
When it was done, i let it cool for a while, since it is still too hot for me to eat it. I used the lid of the can to make a spoon, since i did'nt bring any spoon with me. After five minutes, it cooled off, enough for me to eat it, without turning into a dragon.
"This goes well with rice"
I like rice since it makes the food feel complete to eat, i never understood the idea of eating a meal without rice. I understand not to eat rice if you are on a diet, but, if you are not on a diet and you don't eat rice, then is that even a meal? I mean its just my own opinion, rice just taste good with any meal.
After i finished eating, i made the finishing touches on my shelter. I made a bed, enough for me to comfortably lay on without discomfort. It was 7:24, it was still too early for me to sleep.
"I wonder where that massive Fenrir is now? I bet that thing is stalking me right now"
I could not afford to get caught lacking by that massive creature, i stayed awake for the whole night, so that i could survey the area. Since i camped near by the lake, that unknown thing that pulled my leg is still inside that massive body of water.
I slept for a couple of minutes, since i was paranoid and anxious that something will jump out and kill me. The time was now 2:19, it still far from the sun rising. I had to keep my mind occupied, so that i will not fall asleep. It was harder than it looks, i had wished i brought my phone with me. I had thought about returning to the orginal world, but, i did not want to.
This was something that i wanted to happen to me, ever since i have watched anime. I wanted to go into a another world, and explore the different places that are not found inside the normal world. And also, i wanted to get a harem for my self. But, since i am focusing on my self as of now. The thought of me getting attention from a girl is...below 20%.
I once had a girl that was interested in me when i was in middle school, i did'nt know her name. She said that she liked me, because i act like someone from an anime that she watches. That was the first time i had a girl that took an interest towards me, so for three months straight, i hung out with her every after school.
We talked about anime and stuff, she always has this big bright smile on her face everytime she talks about something anime related. We were close, i had met her parents when i delivered some notes to her house, because she was sick and could not attend school. Her parents were very kind towards me, and handed me snacks after i had delivered the notes.
After our middle school graduation, she said that she is moving to a another country, and will probably stay there for while. She suggested that we take a picture together, so that we could not forget each other. I agreed, she grabbed both of her parents, so we can take a picture together.
They did'nt hesitate, and told us to pose for the camera. Both of us wrapped our arms around each other and had a big smile on our faces. And that was the last memory that i had with her, and when i entered highschool. I could'nt make any friends, i am a quiet person, even when i was in middle school.
"Come to think of it, she was the only true friend that i had a genuine connection with"
Most of the people inside highschool were selfish and annoying. Most of them just wanted attention, and some acted like they were your friend, but, behind close doors, they secretly talk shit about you. That was the reason why i did not make....no i did not want to make any friends in highschool. Even now, i am still that quiet person, barely talking to people my age.
"Damn...i wonder where she is right now? I kinda miss talking to her"
I did not have any feelings to her, i just kinda missed our time spent together, when we were still a child.
After thinking about the past, my eyes were sleepy and i could not open them anymore. I closed my eyes and slept, hoping that i will not get attacked by some kind of hostile creatures.
When i finally slept, i felt an energy being emitted by the ground. Not a bad or ominous feeling, but, a warm and pleasant feeling. It was like my body was being recovered, the pain that i was feeling on my lower back was gone, the aching and throbbing pain that were present inside my arms were gone. It was the first time in a while not being bothered my sudden aching on my muscles.
It made me sleep so much better, although i was relaxed, i did not take the Fenrir out of my mind. And was very aware of my environment.
