[ POV Change ]
The rays of the sun illuminated the land , even then the forest of gigantic and luscious trees stood in an eriee silence .
People of the Sacred Empire referred to this place as the Devil's Forest as many powerful demon spiritualist had gone into this forest and never returned but those that did return .... were not like they used to be .
These returnees all seemed to have been infected with some kind of mental disorder as these people were delusional , had disorganized speech , had trouble thinking and were not able to keep up with their training yet were considered mad geniuses .
Near the center of the Devil's Forest , an injured young man could be seen knocked out .
Suddenly Isaac's eyes opened .
A second later, he shoot up into a sitting position and coughed wet, painful coughs into his hand for almost a minute, taking wheezing breaths whenever his abused lungs would allow. He looked at his hand, grimacing at the flecks of red dotting his hand and at the copper taste coating his tongue.
The man turned his head around, confusion
welling up inside him as he stands on unsteady legs. This was neither heaven, hell, or a hospital.
All around is lush greenery that one would see in a fairly tropical region. A humid wind filled with the scent of recent rain blows through the leaves of the tall trees, sending a calm rustle rolling through the forest all around.
"What the fuck..?" Isaac murmured ,turning
only to hiss as the movement pulls at the glass stuck into his side. He gingerly touched that large shard that shredded through his shirt and stuck itself in his left side with a wince. While looking at his side, he noticed the dark lines burned into
the side of his shirt.
Isaac touched a finger to the left side of his
face and pulled it away, biting back a scream.
A trio of lines had burned into his face, his left eyes was completely gone .The flesh was cooked and bubbled in some places.The left part of his lip was also gone as a scar ran through the middle of his lip and another from the top of his forehead to his nose .
( A.N : Imagine the MC's scars )
"Don't touch my face, good to know..." he says to himself, returning his attention to the glass in his side.
Isaac looked around his to see that the boat he was on was lodged into the trunk of a tree . Isaac slowly pushed himself towards the crashed boat as he saw his backpack dangling on the side .
He gritted his teeth "This is gonna suck," he said while gripping the largest bit of glass.
With a wet schlick! the shard slipped out and Isaac bite his lip to hold back a scream. He quickly yanked what shards he could , out and let the bloody glass fall to the grassy ground. Thankfully none were in so deep that he risked bleeding out but he still took out the first aid kit and properly bandaged his wounds like he had taught .
"Thank God for small mercies," the man muttered, thankful his shirt is a button up and not a pull-over that he'd have to drag over his burns.
"Now, where the fuck am I?"
Isaac turned around carefully, trying to make
heads or tails of his location. Could he have
been picked up by the blast and flung here? He remembered reading about conspiracy theories about the Bermuda Triangle and how it could be a portal to another dimension .
He shakes his head. "What kind of cartoony shit is that? And I distinctly remember being on fire."
Just the phantom sensation of being
engulfed in flame paralyses the adventurer
and made his heart hammer. Sweat dotted his
brow and he struggled to breath, his mind
convinced that opening his mouth will let
the flames in.
Isaac took a few breaths to calm him down , he needed to assess the situation he was in and how he was going to survive ?
Taking out his Glock 19 , Isaac loaded the gun as he sat down with his back being protected by the tree trunk and his right protected by the body of the crashed boat .
( A.N : This is a Glock 19 )
Isaac took out his phone as he saw he had no network .
" ( ~Sigh~ ) What was I even hoping for ? "
( ~ RWRRR ~ )
Isaac's body froze as he heard that monstrous roar of power coming from the forest.
He brought his knees towards his chest as Isaac tried to hide his body from the wild animal that could be near his vicinity judging from the loudness of that roar .
( ~ Thud ~ )
Isaac froze as his eyes saw the paw of the animal .
Isaac took a silent deep breath as he tried to be as quiet as possible .
His breath was taken away as he gazed at the animal ... no...monster infront of him.
Shifting his gaze from the paws that looked like they could slice his entire body in half , Isaac saw the beasts wolf like body , covered in brownish purple fur on the upper part of the body and creamy white on the lower part . Magma like stones were lodged into it's shoulder and hind legs as the very top of it's head adorned a horn that emitted so much heat , Isaac could feel it as his scars throbbed in pain .
( A.N : Imagine this )
Isaac knew this was not his world anymore as something like the beast infront of him shouldn't exist anywhere , other then a fantasy story .
Taking a deep breath , Isaac lined his shot as he knew this was the best moment to kill this beast before it killed him as while he was proficient in firearms , he was not that good at firing a moving target that could potentially get close and kill him .
Feeling the cold metal of his glock , Isaac lined the shot towards the temple of the beast and fired .
