*Dug, dug ....
"Huakhn!?"
My breath snapped, expanding my chest with a single pull from shock. The sensation was loud, exactly the same as when I woke up from a nightmare all of a sudden.
My eyes were dark, unable to see the end of my vision, wherever I pointed my head, no reflection of light was received. In an unstable condition, my breathing was also boosted due to a slight panic over an unknown condition.
"A-I'm dead?" my mumbling groped my own body like a foreign object in a pitch-black room.
"I guess not, Ivan."
"Huh?"
There my intention was to talk to myself, muttered often when I was sure no one was listening. When a question that generally sounds silly is heard by others, it feels quite embarrassing.
But, whatever it is, the answer to that question is answered. Farrell seems to still be in the same room. I don't know exactly where he is, but most importantly he shows the existence of life with me.
"If you were here together, that means you managed to time a monster opponent just now?" askaku as a form of information search.
"I don't know, I don't know the details either. When I realized, I was here, too, not as far apart as you, Ivan."
"Hn?" my response buzzed briefly wondering. "Can't you?"
"I'd like to ask. You should know better, right?"
It became a weapon back. I who should have been Farrel's guide in the wizarding world asked him instead. But, what can I do, I was in a state of semi-consciousness and fell unconscious due to blood loss.
"At least tell me what you last saw before you got here?" I asked Farrel who still did not know where his body was, continued talking in the dark.
"When I carried you, the monster stopped attacking. He was suddenly silent, daydreaming, I kept coming to my senses and was already here. That's it, I don't remember us taking him south or not."
"Hmn ...," my hum responded making the tone think. "The monster stopped moving you said?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Hmn ...."
I tried to think again. If death doesn't pick us both up or at least one of us, that means the mission and the task given has been completed. That is what makes me confused, but I am sure that the plan made on target where to lure the monster to where the elephant is and take his head.
This is a re-recap of the legend story. About one of the figures who was decapitated and replaced by the head of an elephant. The plan should have worked if I could bring together the elephant and the monster in the south corner.
But, we're both here now. If Farrel and I don't have a memory up to that point, it means we solved the puzzle in a different way.
"Okay, think about it later, Ivan. If we succeed, it means there should be someone else here too."
*light
Farrell said this while lighting a fire. There was the sound of a match and followed by a dim light from a small fire. The action made the pitch-black room visible.
I squinted, the pitch-black state turned into glare when there was light even though the source was dim. I haven't had time to look around, but the fire in the match forms a round light that attracts attention.
"Where'd you get a match, Farrel?"
"Korek? Didn't we get a lot from the box before? This one's in my pocket."
"Hmm?"
The light from the match started to catch my eyes now. Based on his reflection, I began to be able to see the dark room that was originally left black without end.
"Oh, it turns out that there's a lamp here" Farrel said at the end while carrying the match light source.
*switch
The lamp switch is pressed, the bright white light from the power source also replaces the color of soot fire. Now, the room was fully bright, I could see every corner clearly. It was a room, with no windows, and had two main mattresses on its left right side. Then, of course on the other side of the room there are piles of items from the box that I took in the forest.
"Hmn .. like it was intentionally, the tool we take from the box has become the main supply," I muttered to see the room.
"Good, if so we are not in vain two days around looking for a box in the forest," replied Farrel who accompanied a small murmur in the room. "But, Ivan. I think you should change your clothes."
"Hn?"
Bajuku ...?
I look at my clothes because of reflexes.
Uaa ....
Turns out, my clothes over there are already forty percent broken. It is true that the clothes I used at that time were not strong. Last time I faced the monster, I wore a regular thin shirt to make it easier to move agile. Especially for long distance stamina, clothing is very influential in air circulation, sweat, and clothing weight.
However, the result is still bad. I managed to get chased, and instead got a lot of injuries due to a little protection from my clothes. Due to the last attack when many twigs and branches of wood pierced me, my clothes are now still being carried away by the damage.
But back again, strange things. My body is now clean there is no blood, and there is not even dirt left. When my clothes were in tatters full of holes, they were now separated with dust and the forest soil that was originally soiling. My condition is now, a new body, clean from wounds and blood, and no dirt attached. The proof that the fight wasn't a dream was that my clothes were torn.
I was there changing clothes, especially the top. Among the items I took in the box, there were still many decent clothes and made from strong. I choose from one that is at least the most comfortable to use.
In addition to the clothes, the weapon we got in the first is the ax is also still attached intact at the waist. In fact, I believe that my ax was gone when my body floated hit by a monster. Maybe it's part of the world's rules. The axe will continue to be the basic equipment of every player and will not just come off.
"Is this a special room for us?" I asked Farrel.
"I think it is."
"Hmn .. I wonder if other people have the same challenge as us."
"Maybe you should have asked that to someone else again."
"Hoo ... So, is there anyone else here?" manya.
"That's not what I mean" Farrel said, rejecting the conclusion. "I'm just the origin of the talk. If you want to know, why don't you come out now?" he continued pointing at the door with his eyes.
"..."
I received Farrel's sentence there, reflexively my eyes also pointed at the door. I didn't realize it, because the position right behind me was not clearly visible.
After everything goes like this. I also want to know the news of others in this world. If they accept a challenge similar to mine where there are huge monsters becoming enemies, I suspect few of them can escape. Because, of all the people my age there, the only one with combat power is Amalia.
Following that instinct, I opened the door in the room, walked straight and right into the main hall room. The place was so simple in form, there was no branching at all that it was impossible for me to get lost. In fact, I was initially quite afraid because it seemed to be being herded like a sheep farm.
But, it was just a momentary feeling. When the short hallway I went down, I finally got to the door to the octagonal hall where we had first determined our previous partner.
*sex
The door opened, a thin wave of emotions greeted. There were already people waiting there.
