Chapter 7: Monsters and Barrier Stones

Chapter 7's

✓Monster and Barrier Stone

—Walk 373 kilometers in the forest.

Imagine how hard it makes me nauseous.

I don't just lack food, I don't even have water.

Of course, I can get some points, but…

Survive to reunite with Nanami - I will survive for it.

No, even without that goal, I can't just give up on survival. The reason I am currently living here even though auk was killed not too long ago definitely means that God told me to continue living.

I can't think of anything other than getting out of here alive.

I slapped both of my cheeks.

“I think I should walk!” (Mari)

Thanks to the map, at least I know the direction.

No matter how high the danger level is, it does not mean that I will definitely meet monsters.

There might only be monsters that I could avoid by running away.

It's too early to despair.

I confirmed the status window once again before descending from the tree.

My total audience was 1,876,540 and was growing every second.

It seems I garnered attention as an early laughing segment.

◇ ◆◆◆ ◇.

This was a forest where tall trees felt about 10 meters tall.

Not much grass grows, and this may be a favorable thing in misfortune, but it is not difficult to walk in.

The boots I used were the result of exchanging 1 point to fit me as if they were made on order.

There are not many monsters. I've been walking for about 30 minutes and I've never seen such a creature until now.

…Not only that, I don't even see animals.

It's creepy.

"Whatever the case may be, I can't lower my vigilance ..." (Mari)

According to the Highly Efficient World Map, this is Hazard Level 4.

Putting aside the mysterious presence that had swept across my skin, I felt this place was abnormal.

Or maybe even until now, I imagined seeing extremely intelligent monsters with their bows, or I would be eaten straight from the head by monsters that I could not even see.

Before I started walking, I had used 1 point to exchange for the item that I was now still holding in my hand as I walked.

With those boots and items, I now only have 19 points.

I was on the side of death.

The wind rustling the trees fanned my anxiety, and the fear of monsters attacking from anywhere eroded my mental stamina.

I always move my legs as if to remove that insecurity.

I've probably been walking for about 2 and a half hours.

Seeing the results alone, you could say it went very well.

Thinking of the level of danger, I was prepared to instantly fall into a precarious situation, but I even felt like I had been deceived here.

Climate that is neither cold nor hot.

It was not in the middle of the mountain but a relatively flat forest.

The distance I can travel in 10 days if everything goes well.

Thinking about it calmly, this might not be a bad place to move randomly.

If this were a snow mountain, I would definitely not survive. If it was a mountain and not a forest, going down alone would carry quite a high risk.

I was on the lucky side.

…But I'm wrong here.

It was not that there was no reason why there were no living beings around.

Just like how herbivorous animals did not approach the lion territory, the density of monsters was reduced in the territory of giant monsters.

I'm not seriously thinking about the meaning of level 4 danger level.

The first thing I heard was the sound of a tree creaking.

And then, I heard the rustling of the trees as if something was flying and rubbing through the trees.

I stopped my feet and looked around.

This is the first time I've heard 'voices made by other creatures'.

I hear birds chirping occasionally, but this is the first time I have felt the presence of living things so clearly.

"A monster…? Or maybe a monkey or something?” (Mari)

The sound of the trees continued unceasingly.

And I feel like it keeps getting closer.

"At least .. at least let it be a normal animal ..." (Mari)

I can't judge from which direction it came.

It approached this place slowly while circling around with me as its center.

God had announced earlier that there would be such things.

I taught Nanami this, and there may be a need for some combat abilities. That there might be a need to use points or something to strengthen your body and fight with weapons in hand…

But I didn't really think about the true meaning of facing monsters.

No, no one on Earth could think about their reality fighting monsters head-on.

The sound stopped after a while.

Then, the sound of something landing on the ground.

I reflexively looked in that direction.

And then.my desire to become an 'just an ordinary beast' shattered like a faint dream.

“...W-What is it?” (Mari)

It doesn't feel real.

The trees here in this forest might be slightly different from those on Earth, but their appearance was not so different that it would give an unpleasant impression, and the land was almost similar to Earth. The clouds, wind, and sun…

They are the things you believe they are on Earth if you are told about them.

However, it was a creature unlike the one on Earth.

It was about 4 meters tall, long and sharp fangs sticking out of its mouth, and most importantly, it was bright red. A giant monkey with fire all over its body.

It's not like it's burning because someone has burned it. His red fur was constantly releasing flames.

The upper body is developing. His arms were as thick as a large tree by his side and should have enough physical strength to kill 10 people with a single sweep.

His giant mouth that could swallow an entire human also had a hot mist coming out from it.

When I saw that, my heart started pounding as if it was about to explode, my legs lost strength, and blood flowed from my body.

I could not move a single finger as if my whole body was no longer mine.

I've been the target of absolute predators. I definitely won't survive this.

As if to understand this instinctively ...

“Gugyaaaaaa!!”

The giant monkey roared as if intimidating me.

To the monkey, I might look like a small, weak, and comfortable meal, but he didn't move immediately, and he just looked at me with his blazing eyes.

He had met a creature that should not be in this forest, so be careful?

Or maybe he was just enjoying the moment in front of his prey.

Only those fiery red eyes that I could not read his emotions were shining brightly.

It was a situation where you could tell that I was just as unconscious from the moment I met the giant monkey.

But in the short time the monkey measured me, I managed to turn my brain gears.

That's why, even as the monkey roared and charged towards me, I managed to use the item without hesitation.

I clasped the glass crystal in my right hand and broke it.

<>

The next second, a half-transparent glass ball with a radius of about 3 meters appeared.

At first glance it looked unreliable, but the giant monkey stopped as if its target had suddenly disappeared, and looked around uneasily.

It raised an angry shout as it smashed the ground furiously.

Sometimes it would spout fire and burn the surrounding trees.

It seems to be very crazy.

I sat helplessly on the ground about 10 meters away from him.

Power had been sucked completely from my bottom and I felt unable to get up for a while.

I sweat a lot from my whole body to an abnormal degree, to the point of making my clothes heavier.

The survival of the fittest.

The concept I learned in school now feels with all my skin. I could feel my entire body burning from the fact that I might have been devoured as a weakling.

This is an Other World.

The world I have to survive from now on.

(Please.. go...!) (Mari)

I might have 12 hours here, but if that giant monkey doesn't move at all from here, I'll checkmate.

I can use the Barrier Stone consecutively, but it requires 1 point.

I will lose my points in the blink of an eye, and will be eaten in the end.

It wasn't that my wish was delivered, but the monkey must have given up. It went somewhere.

I breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of my heart.

(So this is a level 4 danger, yes.) (Hikaru).

I did think I would meet a monster in the end.

But I might be too optimistic here thinking that there would likely be a monster that I could defeat by doing something somehow.

Like a strong monster but the movements are simple, or a monster that moves in groups but the individual strength is low.

But the monkey was big, strong, fast, most likely intelligent, and could spout fire.

Even with the perfect equipment, it might be impossible for me to defeat him.
