Ray happily opened one by one the coconuts he had picked. He drank the coconut water that he collected very greedily.
Across the lake that was quite close to where Ray was now, there was a black monster figure that was monitoring him from earlier. Even so Ray is still not aware of the figure. He just focused on enjoying the food he was taking.
“Hmp... haa.. Thanks for the food.” Say Ray while cleaning the scattered coconut skin. Ray stood up and walked to the lake to wash his hands and his sticky mouth due to the water and coconut meat he ate.
“Finally full too, fortunately here is a coconut fruit that grows so I can take it. I can't imagine how I would be if I hadn't eaten anything. Maybe I'll die in this place.”
While washing his hands and face, Ray was still thinking about the next destination where he was going. But before that, he also thought of a way to get away from where he now lives.
Every time Ray looked around, he felt that every corner of the lake was exactly like a reflection of the image.
‘After observing this place for quite a while, it somehow looks like a cage. Ha! If it's not wrong to name the dome, because it's so strange, every corner of this place is exactly the same. Even the part that is in front of me now is very much the same as the part that is behind me now.’ Inner Ray monologue.
After Ray finished washing the sticky part of his body, he went out of the lake.
Suddenly, Ray heard the sound of dried leaves being stepped on. He looked directly across the lake.
‘That sound!, I'm sure it was the sound of a stepped leaf. How can dry leaves can sound on their own if not stepped on by something.’ Ray who concluded inwardly while staring intently ahead.
Slowly Ray ventured to walk towards the voice. Every step that Ray took became more and more severe, he began to fear and start thinking negative things.
In the middle of his steps, he stopped and decided not to get too close to the source of the sound. Because Ray thinks if he is too close, maybe he will be caught by the figure behind the bushes.
‘If the one behind the dark bush is a ghost, how can I avoid it. I don't know what abilities I have.”
The frightened Ray took the wood right beside him and made it a weapon to defend and fight the figure behind the bush.
“Hei... You who are behind the bushes, quickly get out. I know you're hiding behind it. Where may the sound of dried leaves that were stepped on earlier was made by angina.” Shouted Ray loudly with both hands tightly holding the wood he had taken earlier.
After waiting long enough, Ray who could not bear to throw the wood he held towards the bushes. Directly, the figure that had been watching Ray finally came out.
The exit of the figure from the bush made Ray speechless and frightened. Not because what came out was a ghost or a human.
“No... impossible, i-it's a monster.” Said Ray with a brick tone.
After seeing the real figure behind the bush, Ray stepped back slowly while trembling. The reason that came out was a Nue, a monster with the head of a great ape, the body of a lion and the tail is a snake.
“Ba-how could I not be aware of his presence here. Even this monster could not move for so long to be unknown to me.”
The monster slowly approached Ray as if to finish him off. Ray, who was sweating coldly and afraid to stand up and run.
“Fuck…! why is it like this, why am I revived in a place like this. Please don't chase me a jerk, I'm not a good meal.” Shouted Ray loudly while frightened.
He ran very fast to avoid the monster. The faster Ray ran, the faster the monster chased Ray.
“NO NO NO…! I don't want to die here. Please, ugly monsters stop chasing me.”
After being chased by the Monster for quite a while, Ray ran into a tall tree that was quite close to his position. He jumped on the tree and climbed it to the top.
After arriving at the top of the tree, Ray looked down at the huge monster from a considerable distance.
“Finally I can avoid it, you ugly, dirty, brave creature who is weak.” Ray said insulting the monster that was right below him.
‘Luckily he could not climb, if he were an expert in climbing, maybe I would have died in the husk and made his dinner.’ Mumbles in the heart.
Ray, who was exhausted from just finishing the chase with the monster, immediately laid his body on a tree that was large enough to rest in peace.
‘Every comic book I read or fantasy movie I watch on tv, Reinkarnators will usually be given an amazing ability to survive. But... but why don't I have it at all.’ Inner Ray murmured and complained about the state he was in at the moment.
“Basic, I was tricked by the man who had brought me back to life. Be it an angel or a god even though I hate it so much, they think my life is a game what a spectacle.”
After Ray expressed his hatred, he immediately went silent and began to ponder something. Ray's face that was panicking suddenly turned grim.
“Why I'm always being played. In my old life, I was always played, ostracized and also in jahili. Will my present fate be the same as my former life. I think, I was born to be a spectacle material and jahilan material.” Slowly, Ray's tears began to stem.
“Hmm, when I met the mysterious figure, I thought everything he said would come true. He even said I would live happily in this new world, but I didn't. Indeed destiny can not be changed, because destiny has been written in this self that I am the most miserable human being.” After saying it with a faint smile, tears that could no longer be held back finally trickled down
Ray raised his right hand and touched his wet cheek from the passing tears to fall.
“Basic Ray is stupid, why cry try, because the wrong one is me. I agreed to live again, I agreed to accept the task of changing this world, and in fact I was brought to life to receive this misery.” Ray deduced the circumstances that were now befalling him.
“Hah..do I just give up and give myself to be eaten by the monster below. Because any effort will be in vain with my current situation.”
Desperation enveloped Ray's mind, he looked down and saw that the monster was still waiting for him.
