It's as if I were in a dream. My surroundings were completly unfamiler. I stood up and tried to take my surroundings. It looks like I'm in a grassy area. There were trees surrounding me but it was very open and free. Dispute how open it was the surfaces were very jagged and had a lot of hills you could climb to. There were large mountains that were far away and I could see small puddles of water in the distance near the mountains. The sky had no sun or moon, it had this weird purple color that made my surroundings very dark but light enough to where I can still see clearly.
I looked next to me and I still had my bag of onigiri with me. I picked it up and it was completly fine. It looked exactly the same as it did when I first walked out the store. I finally remembered where I was before I fainted. I was walking home for a convenience store. But now I'm here, in this weird dream-like place. What the hell happened to me.
I decided to walk around. There wasn't really anything I could do in this situation. The best case scenario is that this was a dream, but then again I was walking home for a convenience store so why would I just randomly sleep, or for better word, faint.
I continued to walk for a couple of more hours. I couldn't find any other people or animals around, I only found more valleys with more trees and mountains in the distance. But the closer I looked at the trees I had noticed something that I was too confused to notice before. The trees were dead, the leafs were crumbled and gray. Some of the trees were on the verge of falling to the ground and some trees were straight up on the ground. All of the trees were like this, even the grass was a little gray.
While I was walking I found a nearby river, I went near it and tried to inspect it. The water at a closer glance was very disgusting. It was very grimy and it had a greenish color that made it look extremely gross. Out of curiosity, I decided to touch the water. The moment I touched I immediatly pulled my finger because it had burned it. I looked at my finger and it had severe a severe born on it that hurt me alot.
"Is this really a dream?" I thought to myself. No matter how strange this world can be the pain I felt when I touched the water was extremely real.
I decided to leave the river and continue exploring. The more I see of place the weirder it gets. Everything around me are things you would see in real life but in here they are all extremely lifeless, wherever I am, it seems completly inhabitable.
I continued walking until I decided to stop and rest. I felt exhausted, I had been walking for hours and I haven't found any food or water, so I decided to just sit down and eat my onigiri. I hadn't eaten up until now due to how confused I was before but now I'm too hungry to continue walking.
I sat and ate my onigiri. It didn't taste good probably because I didn't for a while but I'll just have to deal with it until I find more food. I tried to take a breather and try to rationalize what was happening. I was still confused and the more I explored all I got was more questions than answers.
But something interrupted me while I was relaxing. I looked up and in front of me was a creature. And it seemed to be alive
I immediatly stood up out of shock. It was just standing there looking at me. It looked like a demon. Something that doesn't exist in the real world. A being that's almost impossible to describe. It had red eyes and it had crooked but sharp teeth sticking out. It was slouched on its back and had no ears but had horns resembling a deer horn. Its body was completly red and it looked dangerous.
Suddenly it screeched out loud and jumped at me. It was incredibly fast and I could barely react. It tried to scratch me with its sharp claws and I dodged it just in time. I could usually read my opponents moves easily but this creature was too fast for me. Even though I had dodged, it still had cut off a bit of my ear. I fell to the ground from the shock. My ears were bleeding profusely and I felt an extreme amounts of pain. While I was distracted from the pain the creature jumped on me while I was laying on the ground and tried to scratch me again. I tried to fight it off but the creature was presetant and I had to struggle with it. Through out all of my years in fighting I never struggled in fights, I always beat my opponents swiftly even when I was still new to fighting. But here I am struggling with an almost demonic creature. I continued to struggle with it and I managed to push it off of me. I tried to run away as fast as I could, but the creature was chasing after me as well. I ran and I ran, but I wasn't fast enough and the creature had caught up to me. It slashed my lft leg's thigh with its claws and i fell to the ground. The slash was as painful as a sword. I fell to the ground and I was left completely defenceless.
I could run anymore because of my injured leg. All I could do was crawl but the creature was right in front off me, about to kill me. I had lost all hope. I was on the verge of death, but oddly I was fine with it. I was about to die but I had nothing to show for it. Even if I did make it back home, what was waiting for me there? Maybe death isn't that bad.
The creature stood before and as it was about to slash me again with its claws, it dropped to the ground. It happened so fast I couldn't tell what happened. All I saw was something shot into the creature and it fell.
While I was in confusion, laying on the ground bleeding out. A shadowy figure walked up to me. I could exactly make up it's face but it was a tall figure that looked like a human, and it was holding a bow and arrow.
"Hey, are you okay" the shadowy figure said.
