Exploring the Dimension After Reincarnation: Academic

The Beginning of the Journey

Today we have two people traveling elsewhere. They are Szees and Peruru. It was already a long way from the first city. They were currently resting inside a bar, in a remote village. Although this looks like a regular break, but for Szec does not stop there. He focused on his sense of hearing and heard jumbled information from visitors there.

“Hey, did you hear? He said there's a weird penther in the savanna. I heard the area there suddenly dries up,” whispered one of the visitors.

“Really? I heard that too. But is that really true?” other visitors.

“That's not a rumor, I'm coming from that area. I saw the village there was hit by drought.”

“Really? Isn't that dangerous? Then how are the villagers?”

“Entahlah? Also, who cares? At most they've evacuated themselves.”

“No, no. There is a remote village. Access to the road there is very difficult. I went through the thickets to go back and forth from there to here. Not to mention the wild penther along the way. Amateurs will send life if it passes there.”

“Really? It's very bad, isn't it? Very concerning..”.

“There's nothing we can do. Just wait for the referrals from the Association. Anyway moving alone is suicide.”

“Szees, Black! Hello, Szees!” The rover called repeatedly.

Szesic just woke up to call Peruru. “Ah, sorry. I was thinking something. What's up?”

He was too focused on listening to rumors from other visitors. Most of the rumors obtained can not be confirmed, but the advantage he can get information faster than waiting for news on the official news page. Also, most of the bird news will not go into the official page. Listening to information from a bar is one way of getting information in a region.

“So what's up?” tanya Szees.

“I'm done here. What will we do next?” ask Peruru.

“Go to lodging. There's something I want to tell you,” replied Szees.

“Can't it be here?”

“This is a little secret. No problem if I say it here, but it is better to discuss this in secret.”

It didn't take long for them to move to the inn. It is easy to go to the inn or hotel that has been listed on the application.

“So what's up?” Peruru sat on the bed.

“Rumors. I heard rumors of chaos in the place we are going,” Szec said flatly.

“Eh? Not that it's dangerous! We must leave this place immediately!” The man shouted spontaneously. Hearing the word “chaos” is enough to make him shudder.

“No, no, quite the opposite.” Szec shook his head. “We'll go there. I want to know what kind of penther can make this kind of noise,” he continued with a grin.

“No! Nay! Stopit! I'm still easy! I don't want to die!” The roar shouted loudly.

“OE! It's noisy! You are disturbing other guests!” a voice shouted from another room.

“No.” Peruru shook his head.

“Good. Then we'll go there.”

They slept that night.

The next morning, they embark on a journey to a rumored remote village. Their journey was quite difficult. There is no road leading there. If anything, it was a small path that went through the forest. Their journey was filled with meetings with high weeds and low tree branches that blocked their movement. That's why they spend all day walking. They made it until when the sun was about to set.

"Huff.. huff. I thought I should just refuse to do anything to go here." The bow with hands on knees.

"stand! We should get to the village before sunset," Szec said emotionlessly. "Just now, there were a lot of penthers attacking us. At night I don't know what creatures are coming." In his mind he added, 'Well, I can flatten the entire forest if it is necessary.'

"Based on you, yes, yes!" The peruru shouted in annoyance. "At least give me some time off. Tired of earlier walking on difficult terrain. Can't you help?"

"What did you say?" Szec glanced while using the corner of his eyes.

"Ah, sorry, sorry. I don't mean..," Peruru's words stopped there. He did not dare to continue.

Before long they were arguing, a voice sounded from behind the bushes. Immediately Szes became alert and pay close attention to the bushes. He had prepared to fight if only the one who appeared was a penther who wanted to prey on them. They had already fought many other pents.

But unlike what they thought, what emerged from behind the bushes was not a penther. Not a creepy monster either. The one who appeared from there was the figure of a small boy. The conditions are quite alarming. He had some scars from scratches caused by low branches in the forest. Her clothes had many holes. Just like his body, it was scratched when he walked over here.

"Little Boy! What happened to you!" The roar screamed in panic.

*bruk!*

No more energy. The boy immediately collapsed to the ground after observing the figures of Peruru and Szes. He could not say a word to them.

"Just bother…. It was very difficult to get through the forest. And now what? Do we have to take care of the boy who's out of nowhere?" gerutu Sze.

"Ta-Tapi—."

"I know! I don't intend to abandon him!"

Szec pulled out some penthres. They are not normal penthres. Each of them had a black body layer on top of their bodies. They were the penthres who were under the influence of Shoggoth.

Then from Sze's orders, he ordered one of them to look for fruit, one to find firewood and another to arrange tents and other necessities. It is dangerous to set up camp in the forest.

The threat of ferocious beasts was everywhere and could come at any time. Sleep hours become disrupted by having to alternate to keep, beware of predators that come. But what about the fainting boy they found? Continue walking more troublesome. They don't know how much longer the distance needs to be traveled to get to the destination.

It does not take long, the tent stands fully with all the equipment. Peruru took out a P3K device and gave the boy first aid. On the other hand Szec sent penthers around to stand guard. Right, it's dark. In addition to sending penther to stand guard, he also cooked using a campfire. Easy to carry goods because the pet house is also able to accommodate materials.

"He's our informant. I don't need to explain to you what would happen if he died, do I?" threaten Szees.
