Legends of the Terralands
Episode 1
Ugh, I hate dark, rainy days. Everything is at a painfully slow pace, the grass flows slowly, the flickering light barely flickers at all, and worst of all, the sun isn't out, which means monsters galore all day. For what seemed like the whole day, I had to slay some zombies, deal with flying skeleton birds, maneuver through undead archers, and try very hard to disarm bug bombers without letting them blast out my home. It wasn't till the sun finally came out midday, the sun was so warm, it's almost as if I were a greased, seasoned raw chicken being oven-baked alive.
For the afternoon, I spent my time repairing more broken wooden furniture in my house. The glass from the lamp broke while I was trying to slay those damned bug bombers, the wooden chair near my bed looked like a pile of wood badly chopped up, and I had to carefully remove arrows from my shoulder, leg, belly, and waist. Before the sun started setting, I grew really hungry from the repairs. There were no animals to slay for miles, and I ran out of food yesterday.
It seemed only from a distance I saw another adventurer walking to somewhere. The unknown character had a battleaxe in their hand, alongside a metal shield in the other. Their clothes looked like they bought it from a basic fashion designer, with a blue, sparkly shirt, a purple pair of jeans, and a face that, if the world was perfect, would be the most attractive face on the planet, and a bob cut hairstyle to put the icing on the triple layered cake.
In a desperate attempt for survival, I had a growing need to kill them for the food they might be holding, but held back the thought and instead thought they'd head towards a local town very far away. I waved and shouted to get the wandering traveler to notice me. Just before they could leave my sight, they noticed me and my shabby, broken down home, and started walking my way.
I had to stay prepared at all times. The last time I let a wandering traveler come to my home, they had bug bomber eggs and completely trashed my old fully log-based home. I had to move from my old location to a nearby river, since it was a perfect spot in a flat plains. I pulled out my rock-styled sword and kept a calm mood at the person. "Hello stranger! Seems kinda awkward for you to live in such a desolate setting." The stranger said in a male tone. The stranger's name was Julio. He was actually heading to a stadium to compete in a survival melee competition, and as I guessed my findings, it was in a town very far away. I told him I was low on food and was starving. He was kind enough to supply me some bread and a raw fish he caught while fishing by the river my home lived near. Turns out it was the only thing he caught other than a powerbook, leather helmets, fish teeth and even more useful fishing rods.
It was getting late, so Julio had to leave to the stadium, just as he left the house he said a couple of weird words and disappeared without a single trace. Afterwards, all I saw were monsters teasing me to fight. In which I did, all night long, till sunrise once more. My home wasn't damaged this time, as I fought the monsters at a nearby mountain.
Dawn came. The monsters ran away and started hiding in cheap spots to stay out of the heat of the sun. This was my signal to stop, as my sword couldn't take anymore swings before snapping in two.
When I got back home, I was thinking about the words Julio said when he was leaving. It sounded like "mlash vorp cadium". I tried to say it but nothing happened. I was thinking, "could he have been a wizard or something?" I didn't mind it for another second and thought about fishing. So I put some sticks and strings together to make a simple fishing rod. After spending the whole day catching something, all I got was a bloating fish. I wanted to eat it, but first, I had to cook it, well, until I found out they were really poisonous. It couldn't be cooked, so I slowly took one, small bite. Suddenly, my vision went blurry, I felt like my stomach was upchucking everything in it, and in an instant, I blacked out. I felt lost for hours, and for once, it was peaceful. Nothing bothered me for the whole night. It was something I never felt before, like being placed in a world full of wool and being able to bounce around and swim in it at the same time. It was true peace. Until…
