"Excellence is not a gift, but a skill that takes practices, we do not act rightly
because we are excellent, in fact we achieve excellence by acting rightly" -
Plato
It's so dark, I can't see anything, nor speak and even take a single breath, no matter how much I struggle, I can't moved even a single part of my body, I stood there motionless and quietly like a doll.
"ACKKK! IT HURTS IT F#CK#NG HURTS!"
"F#ck, don't tell me I'm going to die as a virgin"
"Is this a prank? Sh#t I need to wake up!
Now!"
I subconsciously groan in pain, it's like I was pierce by a sharp pole through my cerebellum, the excruating pain made me mentally pass out.
Then I woke up, my head feels like it has been hit by a storm, my visual senses are blurred, my legs feels like noodles, every fiber and tissue in my body are screaming in anguish!
As I hardly stand up, trying to resist the pain, I find myself in a dense forest alone at night, then the hair in my body instinctively stands up.
I stood still staring at those trees, as my vision regain it's former senses, I caught of glimpse of a animal? mutant? No, it resembles a body of a humanoid, likely a human? as I force myself to breath, the unknown humanoid slowly started walking near me.
A sinister yet familiar aura is enveloping me, I can hardly see his appearance and yet I feel like I was standing in the middle of a blizzard in winter naked, surrounded by predators
"Who are you?"
"IDENTIFY YOURSELF!"
As I shouted at "him" receiving no response, I frozen in fear, gulping, I taken a step back, accidently tumbling down, while searching throught my memories, I remember the most important survival technique my father taught me.
With the help of adrelanine, boosting my speed, I directly dashed throught the forest straight ahead while effortless avoiding the tree roots and other obstacle, after running for presumeably half a hour, I stand still gasping for air, after securing that my position was safe, I lay down and rested under a tree.
After my mind was made out, I started plotting an idea escape out this place.
Plan A, if I stay in open areas, visible to the naked eyed, if there is, other people camping they may notice me, except that will make me a easy prey to that bastard, and what are the chances that bastard have some few acquitances residing here in this forest?
Plan B, Building a bonfire that will hopefully attract the attention of either other people or that monster, the latter have higher chances on occuring and I'm not gonna bet on that.
Plan C, frontal fight, possessing no firearms, weapons, both my quirk and "role" will both sigfinicanly affect the outcome of the fight, especially against a unknown enemy, still I have no idea what the other party is capable of.
Plan D, evade and maneuver,
in simple terms just running away.
Being alone in the woods, eh I'm not truly alone since there's a sinister humanoid monster chasing after me, but hey, putting at that way, it doesn't
seem to bad, Hehe, at least I can end up getting some spare time for myself!
Growing up as a optimistic person sometimes really can help!
My time was cut short as I heard, the leaves rustling
Thud! Thud!
The cold wind send shivers down my spine, as I heard the foot steps, I shockingly look back and get a glimpse of that humanoid, walking at a constant pace towards me.
NO WAY..... HOW DID HE MANAGE FIND ME?
I even make sure to cover my tracks at the end of the path and create a decoy
Does this guy possess a "quirk" or a "role" that has some tracking ability?
sh#tty luck
I follow up my most reasonable plan, ran straight ahead until I see a river or hopefully the road, while running I take
quick glance at "him" and he's still walking towards me.
"This person is the most dedicated stalker in history" I remark sarcastically
I countinue to run for hours only taking few brief rest every turn, my speed started to diminished, until I finally collapse due to exhaustion, since my fatigue, hunger, and thirst, started piling up.
Looking at the sky, laying down, while raggedly breathing, admiring those glistening stars. I feel awe also very insignificant.
As I look at my surroundings, those beautiful trees, wait... why there's no insects or other wildlife animals?
Jesus christ!
The situation is now more creepier than ever!
Wait don't tell me!
That this place is like what I read in those novels those "unable to leave part" where the character is trap, no matter where he go, conceal from the outside world, or it's more likely I'm inside a domain separated from the outside world this propably explains the lack of living things here.
Slowly but surely, I felt despair, fear seeps throught my bones, nevertheless, my face shows determination, clinging for that ray of hope
"hehahaha! Guess it will not be easy "
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The Unknown Humanoid finds himself confuse, searching for his prey in desolated spot but to no avail, he tries to look left, right, up the-
A giant hand completely enveloped by white fur, tenaciously grab his ankle, while the nails more like razor sharp claws dug deep through feet skinning it.
The ground shakes, and a monstrous humanoid wolf emerges from the pit, attacking relentlessly, giving his opponent no time to breath.
"DIEEEEE!"
I aggressively lunged forward, launching devastating attacks, swiping my claws and burying my sharp teeth through his neck, using my heightened strength and razor claws, I easily penetrated his body and rips it in half
Blood and organs splattered all over me, after I toss his lifeless body, I walk away thinking that it feels strange because it was to easy, then I look back and saw that the body is gone!
Laughter boom inside the forest, the trees are laughing, mocking me, for my futile effort, telling me that I can't prevent the inevitable.
Following that I my eyes are in awe, mind-blowing, the man I killed is still standing in front of me, unscathe, like a ghost.
a decoy? Illusion? halalucination?
Growl! Murderous intent surge through my body, I lunged forward directly at the target, expecting to rip him in half again to end this nightmare.
The branches unexpectedly started moving, trying to grab me, I manage to avoid the rest, but few manage to caught me, hindering my movement, then another wave of branches bombarded me, stabbing me, as I vomit blood.
If not for my heightened endurance and fast health regenaration, it's guaranteed my family would held a happy renioun party tomorrow.
The branches restricted my limbs, the more I struggle, the harder the grip.
Then that person slowly walk towards me again, yes again, sigh
Thud thud thud
"Just go ahead and f#cking kill me now!"
The man slowly approach me, he just looks at me blankly yet it's stared right through my soul, wait, why does I can't identify his face? It's all blurry.
Our faces are now close, just few centimeter away from each other.
A smile slowly appear in his cheek, a creepy disgusting wicked smile, a smile that seems to mocks, ridicule, distain and insult my petty existence.
"You f#cking bict-"
Pa! A loud noise echoed inside the forest as a man's body gets crush to bits by a tree.
The woods are ghost quiet, then the
cold wind slowly breeze to the surroundings, causing both the leaves and trees to dance and rustle.
DRINGGG!! DRIIINGG! DRINGGG!
tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock
I opened my eyes and immediately shut down the alarm. I stared blankly in the ceiling for a few seconds then sigh.
"What a..... dream"
