Chapter 2 - Ch. 2

RECAP↓

I looked around, and saw a small green thing. It had a loincloth covering its groin area, and its nose was sharp and long. Its skin is filled with pimples and bumps, it was holding a tiny club. And it had sharp teeth.

It was disgusting.

"Ew." I said out of reaction, in that singular moment. Dread washed over me, it bashed in some guys face.

I tried getting up but I couldn't... What was I supposed to do? I'm in danger and can't move, what bullcrap.

"Move!" I had tears falling down my face, I looked at my legs. They were trembling as if it was under the weight of gods.

"Move! Dang it... I'm going to die." I looked down, my eyes were emotionless.

Multiple thoughts and emotions running through my mind.

"+&;8#-#!28_-$(#-+" it was incomprehensible, my thoughts were like a wild boar running from a predator...

I looked up, and there it was. The monster was in my face, Looking at me like food.

[User has gained.]

.

A stoic female voice spoke, it was light and elegant... Almost as if it was a person.

[User has gained the skill, "Regression".]

Time must have stopped at that moment, when I looked at the floating red tablet, it was see through.

"What?" I spoke out loud in confusion.

I looked back at the monster, in fear. The monster pulled its arms back, and swung at me. I yelled in fear.

I closed my eyes, everything went quiet... But there was a splatter I heard, what was that? I slowly opened my eyes.

My heart skipped a beat, the monster which I assumed was a goblin was lifeless, it had a spear lodged in its head.

The brain and blood all splattered in the ground, slowly it had disintegrated into dust.

[Player #789,000 "Shujinkō Botsuraku", has killed the first goblin Ever.]

I looked in Surprise, so did the other people. I looked to my left, and there she was... Shujinkō Botsuraku, the first ever monster hunter.

She was stunning, she had golden brown hair that glistened in the sun, her eyes were a sharp red. And she had a well proportioned body, she was Caucasian as well and She seemed elastic and stoic.

She breathed in, her breath was elegant. But she stopped. She spoke again, and looked at me.

"...where is... Jikan..." She spoke, her speech was light and elegant. As expected from her looks.

It took me a second to process what she said, I looked surprised and had a sweat drop.

"...why do you need Jikan?" I spoke in confusion and a tad bit of fear.

"He was in ■." She put her hands behind her back, and hid her mouth lower in her hoodie.

"What?" I was fully confused now. What was that censor, and why was it so high pitched?

All of a sudden a woman came walking to us, she looked battered and scared.

The woman was skinny and almost malnourished, her eyes were heavy and droopy, but were a stunning dark pink. She had disheveled short black hair, and she was light skinned.

"What happened?" I said in surprise. "Too many things are going on! First there are censored words! second Shujinkō is looking for me, and third this second woman looks like she was abused!!!" I thought to myself, why is this so complicated.

I looked at the woman and she looked at me.

"Sorry... I'm sorry for bothering you." She cried, her voice cracked and she was sore.

She ran away, and I watched in confusion, why is this happening to me of all people?! When I looked back at Shujinkō, she was as confused as I was.

"Ahem, Back to what I was saying." She spoke and I was a little surprised. "How can you not understand, ■?"

I looked confused and angry, why was that word censored?!

"It's filtered out! I can't understand it!" I yelled out in anger.

The people that were confused, looked at me from afar. I was a little embarrassed, how did I? Have such a bratty outburst. I don't need that, I just need to know my next move. And calm down.

"Calm down," she mumbled under her breath, but she walked away. Was I of no use anymore?

"What did I do wrong?" That's what I thought to myself, was I too pushy? No it can't be that.

I stood up, looking around all that I could see was grass. So I decided to start walking.

[6 hours later]

I've been walking for hours, I was exhausted and tired. But when I looked up, it was surprising. There it was... a stunning city, filled with clocks.

The city was filled with clocks and futuristic tech, there were people and monsters. Even robots were in this world.

"It's beautiful." I said to myself quietly, I can't believe my eyes.

I ran towards the clock City, and as soon as I entered, was as soon as I was surrounded. Multiple robots held spears at my head.

The spears were odd, they had futuristic blue small panels on the pole, and the tip of the spear had a laser beam.

"You're unregistered, you are now slave 71." The robots said.

All of a sudden I got teleported, and when I looked up, I was in shock.

I was in a prison, and nonetheless. This prison has others, but they were people I saw from the start.

What are they doing here? I thought I was the first one, but now isn't the time to worry about that.

One of my pupils changed, it had a clock. And a timer. This timer was about my time until death, why am I going to die? I ran here for civilization.

"I can't die now!" I yelled out, and the others woke up, they were in fear and were dazed.

"Let me out!" I yelled out in anger and fear, "this is a misunderstanding!"

I fell to my knees, if only I was stronger. I wouldn't be in this mess, I can't die now. Even if I could regress... I. Don't. Want. To. Die.
