Chapter 2 - Another world 2

Sunlight filtered through the leaves. Eugene, who had been sleeping, woke up.

"Was this a dream?" he said after moments of confusion.

[No] said a voice from nowhere.

He sighed...

All of this was real.

[Yes] echoed the voice.

"So, I'm in the Tensura world. Of all the anime worlds, it had to be this one."

Eugene looked at his injured left hand, which had stopped bleeding but was still covered in dried blood.

[Thanks to the unique skill , this injury won't be a problem for you.]

After moments of confusion, Eugene fully regained his awareness.

"Hahaha, this is amazing."

"Muhahaha muahahahaha."

"Three, this is incredible. Hahaha."

[You are still in danger.]

"Oh... yes, that's right."

Even as he regained his composure, joy and excitement continued to shine in his blue eyes.

"Wait, forget the skills. I need to find a safe place first."

[Don't worry, this place is currently the safest.]

"Really..."

[Yes... That wolf was the pack leader, and with its death, the pack fled in fear.]

Eugene almost burst with relief and joy.

[But you need to move quickly...]

"Okay, you're boring ~" Eugene said, smiling.

Hours passed, and night fell.

With the help of , Eugene lit a fire and cut the wolf's meat using a knife he crafted from stone.

"Eugh, the wolf's blood smell is still on my hands."

"Did I really have to use my hands for this?"

[You wouldn't be able to eat otherwise.]

"....."

"Can't you be a bit kinder to me?"

[Stop whining and get ready for a fight.]

"What! Why?"

[The monsters are starting to come here.]

"What... I'm not strong enough to fight them."

[With the unique skill , you can win.]

"Really... but..." Eugene was still nervous, even with helping him stay calm.

[Leave it to me.]

"Alright, you can switch with me, right?" he asked, a bit of hope in his voice.

[Yes.]

Without another word, Eugene's blue eyes began to glow red. His face became expressionless, and his eyes shone in the darkness of the night as he looked at the place where the wolves began to appear, surrounding him from all directions.

In Eugene's vision, the wolves' movements became very slow. With controlling his body, all he could do now was watch.

Eugene's body moved quickly as the first wolf attacked. With a swift punch to the wolf's jaw, the wolf's body was sent flying.

"Well, this is going to be long," Eugene thought to himself.

---------

After hours of fighting with the wolf pack, blood and wolf corpses spread everywhere.

Eugene stood in the middle, covered in blood and his clothes torn.

"Huh... huh..."

"Fuck you, , this hurts so much!"

[Don't worry... With this pain, your strength has increased.]

"You didn't tell me it would hurt like this!" Eugene said, angry at what and the wolves did to him.

[It can absorb damage, not pain. Wounds cannot be treated either,] the guide said in an indifferent voice.

"Alright."

With blood spread across his face and black hair, Eugene started heading in the direction had told him.

Using 's ability, Eugene reached a river without much trouble. Some monsters attacked him on the way, but with his new strength, he managed to defeat them.

"Ha… cold water," Eugene said as he entered the water.

[It's nighttime, that's normal.]

"..."

After washing up and getting clean, Eugene used his white school shirt to dry himself and wore what was left of his clothes.

Moments later, he lit a fire as had taught him and began staring into it.

"Damn it."

"This really hurts," Eugene said with a hint of despair.

Everything was real.

After experiencing death twice, Eugene, a high school student, began to forget everything and think only about survival.

Survival was all he could think about.

", thank you."

And this was his hope for survival.

The next morning.

Eugene hadn't slept, worried about his precious life. In a place like this, he had to be cautious if he didn't want to be eaten alive.

"I feel uncomfortable, and all my clothes are torn," he said, looking at his clothes.

"And now, what do I do?" he wondered, looking around.

After thinking with , he made a plan to find a city or a safe place.

Find something to cover himself with.

Become stronger. With , he could search for monsters and let handle them.

"A new life, a new chance." With this thought, he started walking.
