Isekai: The Dream World

Chapter 3 ~ Admire yourself.

Arata walked without direction again for a while. Arata was getting tired of the scenery he saw, since he was reincarnated into this world all he saw was the environment of caves, caves, and caves continues. Then Arata kicked a small stone because of his boredom and accidentally hit a bear that was eating a wolf not far from him, as usual Arata was friendly to apologize to him. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it" of course the bear didn't understand Arata's words and getting angrier, the bear took his eyes off his food and stood up and looked at Arata with anger. The bear is 2 times larger than the largest bear ever hunted by humans on earth.

"Well! It must be a storm again!" I murmured in my heart.

The bear attacked Arata so quickly that Arata could not escape it. Arata also bounced and hit the cave wall quite hard. Arata slightly vomited blood from his mouth.

"sick! Turns out this is not a dream, so strong are you. Was the green creature in this cave only as tall as a slime huh?" Arata tries to get up despite his body being very sick, blood flows from his head down slowly but Arata does not care much.

"Interesting!" said Arata. Arata runs towards the bear, then Arata jumps up and hits the bear with all his strength, the bear strikes again but Arata can avoid it.

The bear managed to hit Arata once because of Arata's own carelessness. Arata with the bear attacked each other, but the bear attack nothing hit Arata while Arata attack always hit it even though the attack is not too big effect.

when the bear's head was within range of Arata's kick, Arata did not waste the opportunity and then launched a kick attack with a very strong right foot on his head until the bear bounced a little and fell.

Arata also looks very tired and the blood coming out of his head is also quite a lot. Arata fell on his stomach due to exhaustion. If the bear rises again, it is certain that Arata will lose and die but unfortunately fate is on Arata's side. I don't know why the Bear died with just Arata's last right-footed kick. Arata got up and said with irregular breathing "strong as well as you, to make me like this, damn it!"

After fighting so fiercely with the bear, Arata was hungry. Arata looked around and it turned out that the food was nearby, there was only in front of him, there was nothing else. Arata looked at it hesitantly.If he did not want to eat it then it was certain that Arata would bleed to death and starve.

Arata still does not believe in the bear's flesh but he has no other choice until Arata searches for a sharp stone to separate the flesh from his skin and dismember the flesh into pieces smaller.

A few moments later. Arata had already finished separating the flesh with the skin and cut it into pieces. Arata is currently holding the thigh of the bear. He felt somewhat disgusted because his meat was still raw. He had tried to find wood but there was none in this cave until Arata decided to eat it raw. Suddenly Arata vomited blood again, he immediately ate the raw meat by force.

"Good meal" said Arata and he ate it. Arata had just eaten one bite and then he vomited it again.

It feels really bad but it's better than blood loss and starvation. I have to immediately recover my condition to its prime, I do not know any strange animals or monsters that will meet me.

Arata continued to eat it by force but he tried to hold it in and swallowed it until he finished everything. Arata laid his body on the cave floor and said "ah! I don't want to eat it anymore. It was like eating garbage, seriously. No lie!"

after eating until full, Arata also felt sleepy. He looked around and made sure it was safe. Arata closed his eyes and fell asleep.

A few hours later. Arata wakes up from sleep, now he looks better than ever. His wounds healed like there was never any wound. Arata, who realized that there was no pain, examined his body, legs, hands, cheeks, all completely healed, as if he had never been hurt.

Arata was astonished and surprised because all of his wounds suddenly healed.

"Well! That's grand! Just left to sleep healed everything. Is my healing power extraordinary? Or..." Arata thought for a while and continued "because of that bear meat huh? It looks like it was from the bear's meat. It's impossible too, the time just left sleeping all the wounds healed, it's very strange. Although it's a fantasy world, but I'd rather believe that bear meat is beneficial for healing wounds. Someone once said to me..."

"Don't you just look from the outside, it looks really bad but it could be very good for you" a man told me.

"That's what he said"

Arata wakes up and his spirit returns to its original state. "Yosha! Now I'm fully healed. I can continue my journey and immediately go out of this cave. Just wait, what a beautiful outside world!" Arata ran south with vigor.

It has been a few months Arata walked constantly looking for a way out but all this time he had not found anything strange, not even living things existed. At the moment he looked extremely pitiful with his body looking thinner compared to before, his hands and feet as well.

At first I just wanted my life to be comedy, school and romance like in Japanese anime, but my life is now Isekai genre. If I hadn't gone to the bank that night, maybe this wouldn't have happened.

I remember someone's word.

"Don't give up, keep pushing forward vigorously even though the path you choose has many thorns" said a smiling man.

The path you chose, right? Since when did I choose a path like this, but thanks to you I will continue to move forward and I seem to have to be happy yes, regretting that has passed will not be of any use at all, I better figure out a way to get out of here as soon as possible. I'm hungry too but I haven't seen any living creatures since that day. I'm also not sure why I can still live without eating and drinking but the most likely thing is that I've been learning martial arts and doing some really hard exercises and I also fast often, maybe this makes no sense but that's all I'm thinking about right now.

Arata who was starving finally fell but he did not faint. He tried to raise his head and coincidentally in front of him was a strange, purple-colored grass that filled several places on the cave floor around Arata. Once again Arata is faced with a difficult choice, eating this strange grass or starving to death.

Arata did not think about it further, he immediately ate the strange purple grass like a hungry goat, Arata was quite surprised because it tastes chewy-wet delicious like instant noodles that he used to eat in Indonesia. He ate it with strange grass.

Arata did not know that the purple grass was purple grass or commonly called Purple Grass. If anyone eats it and he is not strong enough to withstand the poison then he will die, otherwise if he is strong enough to withstand the poison then it will gain enormous power. Until now no one had managed to hold back the poison and ended up dying to dry up. Therefore, this plant is a forbidden plant in some countries.

Suddenly Arata felt very dizzy, his vision blurred, his throat felt very dry even more dry than before, his body dried up like a living corpse but by chance there is a pool of water with a size of four times two square meters (4×2 m²)

Arata went straight to him and drowned his head while drinking the water. Dizziness, blurred vision, and other symptoms of pain including his body returning to normal as before. Arata also gained immense strength, for a moment Arata's body released an enormous purple aura that enveloped his entire body but Arata did not notice it. He just felt so grateful that his pain was gone and his hunger was gone as well.

Huh! Congrats! Congrats! I thought I was gonna die again. Actually what the fuck the grass, it tastes good like instant noodles turned out to be very poisonous huh. I should be even more careful next time when choosing food in this cave.

Arata looked at the pool again and saw his face in the reflection of the pool water. Arata sees a handsome male looking 15-16 years old with silvery white hair and golden yellow eyes and he wears a plain black shirt. His body was also as normal as the body of a teenager his age. That man was none other than Arata.

Is this me? handsome is also me, his eyes and hair also suits my taste. Really good, is this possible because I gave myself a name back then huh? Not likely.

Arata cleared his mind while shaking his head quickly.

You better admire yourself up here first. I must leave immediately and find another human city.

Arata continued his journey. When Arata was walking casually, Arata accidentally stepped on a secret button that made a door on the wall of the cave to the right of Arata open suddenly.

Arata was curious about the door that would take him anywhere, until finally Arata decided to enter into it without suspicion in the slightest. Moments later, Arata arrived in a room, this room is only five times four square meters (5 × 4 m²) only.

This room looks more like a small library because there are shelves on each wall of the room containing a lot of books. Arata tried to pick up one of the books.

"What book is this?" Arata said with surprise, the cover of this book is just plain red without the slightest picture or writing. Arata wondered what the contents of this plain red book were, he decided to open this book. Arata was more surprised, what he saw after opening the book was all the writing in the book in the form of Javanese script.

"Java Axara? What the hell does this mean? Do I enter Isekai Jawa? Not Japanese Isekai in general?" Arata turned the pages of his book again and said again "wow! I became more curious about what the world outside this world was like" Arata read the book until it ran out and took another book to read. Arata has always liked to read books so much that he does not feel bored or troubled.

Soon, Arata had read all the books in the room.

"Oh so yes, this second life will probably be very interesting" Arata said as he closed the last book he read.

As Arata was about to head towards the exit of this room, he suddenly fell down. Arata did not expect that there would be a trap in front of the door right, but the beginning of Arata entered there was no trap or anything. Maybe it was a one-way trap.

Arata glides like gliding in the water slide until he finally fell from above and arrived Arata in another strange place in this cave. Arata nyungsep, he slowly stood up and looked around.
