When I awoke I saw a frog,
Frog: croak
I was running away from the frog when it hit me with FLIES? What is going on?
I was attacked over and over again until I got sick of it
"you know what? No,you think your so tough? I disagree with that" I towered over him "run along now little frog, before I let myself come loose and attack you, then blood will roll down this forest and further shatter the peace that you broke by attacking me for no reason"
The frog seemed to understand what I said and ran away crying
Sheesh dang frogs trying to kill me
I walked blindly into the town that was nearby, the town had a café, 2 hotels and 40 houses nearby, to the east of town was a river bank that seemed to stretch for eternity. To the west was some grassland that seemed to be housing some shop keepers and humble farmers with a looming laboratory . To the north was where I came from that housed a forest that grown underground that seemed to be growing nicely. To the south was a lake larger than life itself, with fishermonsters driving boats catching some form of crustacean.
?: STOP
I turned and saw a group of well armed individuals
"you are in violation of the orders probation order 5/ 1/ b"
"all humans must be eradicated"
They raised their weapons and seemed to be preparing to attack
"excuse me! What are you doing?" I asked desperately
"DIE"
?: "STOP FIGHTING MY FRIEND!" forte yelled from a distancce
Forte seemed to be walking at a slow pace, and the soldiers seemed terrified of him
Forte: "which rebellion are you from dear soldiers?"
Forte moved directly in front of me
?:" we a-are from the ashtin d-district" they said shakily
Forte:" are you ready to fight the co-leader?"
?:"not yet no"
?:"come-on lets go boys" he said relieved seemingly relieved for some reason
The group left with a relieved expression
Forte is looked at me
Forte:"sorry about that, the rebellion leaders tried to kill the former co-leader of the royal army"
Forte:"don't worry though, they thought I was, Humerus:" he cackled a laugh with his perfect teeth
Forte:"alright would you like to go home?"
"ok" I said quietly
Forte:"wait"
F:"I think it's time I let you go, after all you can go home as much as it pains me, I will let you go on your journey now, I won't help you from this point, so you better start understanding how these things work" Forte said sadly
F:"I can't keep you here, it's out of my control what you do from this point, but I will give you a hint" his tone turned dark
F"do not kill a single monster, or you will face my incoming wrath"
I turned to look at him
"Forte? Are you okay there bud?" I said to him
F:"…."
I blinked and he disappeared. After making sure he was gone and not just hiding I heard footsteps behind me.
?: "fear not human! I shall protect you from all harms in this world!" said an overly dramatic voice for the occasion
I turned around and saw…what? What the heck? It was a pot of a man; the person had some form of tape strapped all over his body. A cape that seemed made to flap in the wind yet was failing to do so, even in the harsh winter wind, it was made of duct tape and was peeling off. In the center was some cardboard that was very off-centered, which seemed to be ripping apart from him moving, and a mask, as though it meant to hide his identity but only covered his eyes, it was made of some duct tape that must have been used 4 years ago and he had duct tape on his joints, he looked like a cosplay of a superhero that went out of hype 24 years before it was made.
He moved a bit too quickly and I heard the ripping sound of skin against duck tape, he grimaced in pain
?:" hello?" came a tiny voice behind him, the kid looked about 7 and was gripped on to this person looking shy and scared of some unknown evil, he seemed to be a replica of the taller, much rounder and older person, except only his joints had duct tape and his mask seemed to be made of a bandana that seemed to fit him despite the clear tape covering him throwing off any sense of normal.
?:"so how do you do human?" he said as though pretending to be someone else
"oh im sorry my name is TapeMan, and this is my son TapeBoy" he said as he put his hand on his chest and pulsed it outwards
Tapeboy:"hi….how do you do?"
"just fine how do you do?"
Tapeman:"Enough with small talk! Have you seen this person?" he held up his hand which had a crude drawing of 3 triangles connecting together over a green balloon thing? What?
Tapeman:"he went missing over 2 months ago! Have you seen him?" he looked into my eyes as though my eyes can somehow tell him what I know
"no, no I haven't" I said meekly
Tapeman:"ok, Tapeboy come on!, Tapeman is on the case!" Tapeman said as he went off into the direction of the river, he did not seemed to know where he was going, which made the situation funny
Tapeboy looked at me, almost as curiosity
Tapeboy: "hope to see you around" he said then walked after his father
I heard my stomach growl from the lack of food, so I walked into the café and burst through the doors I saw only two people, a old Gecko that was as large as a man with his head slouching 12 inches over his chest,blue scales with orange lines going down the side of his face, the position of his neck made it clear, it had white hair and had wrinkles covering it, his face had red sunglasses in the shape of a large V and wrinkles covering his skin, he also had a red hoodie on that looked brand new, with gray fur covering the edges. the other person was a completely normal looking human except for his large katana in his hilt, he was averagely tall for a young man and had broad shoulders, he was wearing a white t-shirt and khakis
?:"hmm?" he said as I walked in, I also noticed his voice wasn't as deep as I expected but it wasn't light either
?:"oh! New customer! Have a seat have a seat!" the gecko person thing said as he prepared a glass of some liquid
?:"my name is Koch! Nice to meet you! What are you in the mood for?" Koch said cheerfully
"may I have a menu?"
K:"sure! Here you go….?"
" Kaŝitan…my name is Kaŝitan"
K:"nice to meet you Kaŝitan!" he said cheerfully as he put his hands in the sink
"I would like a….pizda?"
K:"feeling cheesy or pepperoni?" he said as he started making pizda
"pepperoni please"
K:"that will be 24 gold" he said
I searched my pockets, nothing
"umm…im sorry but I don't have any mon-"
?:"well of course you do!"the man in the white t shirt said like I was a idiot
"no I actually don-" I noticed 24 gold pieces on top of my menu
?:"the names swak" the man said grinning
Swak got up and drank the last of his coffee
S:"see ya around Koch" he said as he walked to the door of the café
K:"see you around! Remember to tell your friends!"
S:"Koch ive been here so many times there's no more friends to tell!"
He looked back at me and grinned
S:"well maybe you, go to koch's food and see ya again soon" he said walking out backwards
I chuckled at his joke then continued daydreaming only to be interrupted by Koch
K:"so whose child are you?" he said in a happy manner
"actually I fell down here from that hill on the surface" I told him
K:"….." apparently what I said surprised him and sent shockwaves through him
K:"how are y-you a-alive?" he asked with concern and shakily
"what do you mean?"
K:"there is 5 different rebellions g-going o-on….and you survived one of the leaders strongest men…I saw them walking through the town a few minutes before you arrived...They want to kill you...no ALL humans….and use your souls to make their leader a God…..the only reason there is so many different rebel groups is because they want different leaders to become God…"
I heard a stove ding
K:"I can't tell you to stay here or go into hiding, but im warning you, you better watch out." He pulled my pizda out of the oven
K:"eat up!" he readjusted his odd glasses. Then smiled as I gave him the money
I ate the pizda, it tasted great but it was a bit hot.
After I walked out I walked towards the laboratory as the shadow loomed over the grassland near it, it had a farmer next to it, looking for someone, and the laboratory had holes in it with vines climbing the walls the white paint was rotting away and the entire laboratory looked abandoned
?:"have you seen my daughter?" the slime person asked
"no I haven't, you are the first person like yourself that I have seen" I informed him
?:"alright, thanks for telling me though"
I saw a sign that said "Laboratory Delta, scientist count 24" except it had a large red X marked over it and in red paint written "DO NOT ENTER, DANGER DANGER"
Curiosity, I was always known as a curious one, so of course I opened the door, a large metal electronic door that also had paint peeling off
?:"what are you doing?! Don't enter there! Stop!" the farmer yelled as the large metal electronic door shut behind me and I heard the lock
A large boom traveled across the laboratory as I heard a large animal growl
