Chapter 29: Another World

Falling through the portal, I landed flat on the ground. Everything hurts. Ow.

I took a look around, I was in the middle of a desert.

"Shit, I just have to land in a desert of all places."

With the atmosphere humid and the air dry, scorching my throat, I head forward. I summoned Combo-Maker, using it as walking stick and just travelled forward.

Occasionally while walking through the desert, there would be monsters appearing out, trying eat me as prey.

Giant snake-worms appears time to time from the sands trying to devour me.

I had a very close encounter 35 minutes ago where one, the size of a Truck burst out trying to bite off my hand cleanly. I took Combo-Maker, using it to jump up a certain height and from there stab it in it's eyes.

Ending it off with using a 3-staff mode, I smashed the earth-worm's head to pulp. Panting heavily, I continued heading forward.

After 2 hours walking in the hot sun. There seem to be no end to any nearby civilization.

"I can't do this. It's too hot."

I reached out checking my inventory.

I still had the bottle from previously in the hotel.

But I already drank like half of it.

[Just a bit more. I think there should be a town ahead.]

I continue stepping ahead and walk forward, for the next 2 hours.

With the bottle completely empty and my lips cracked and dry. It looks like that it's the end for me. 

Trying to think about anything but the heat, I think I started to hallucinate due to the sudden emergence of a tower infront of my face.

That image kept me going for at least 30 minute. Until I heard someone saying "Halt."

I looked infront of me, 2 guards in strange looking arrmor was staring at me. The armor and weapons were mixed with animal parts and metal. They were also pretty jacked, where the muscles looks as if its going to pop out of the shirts. One of the guards take his palm and stopped me.

They started speaking to me in different manners but I was too tired, hungry and thirsty to hear them.

There must be water inside right. I asked them 

"Water?"

The moment they said yes, I took my staff and tried to bash through the doors.

However, the two guards were strong. They took their spear and slammed it against my staff.

It shocked me. I started retaliating by spinning the Staff alot and poke one of them, one of them nonchalantly just step one step to the left and punched me in my nose.

Pow-!!!

I blacked out again.

I woke up again, just to find myself hanged on the ropes on top on a tree.

A tree? in the desert?

I looked around trying to see what's going on, finding out that I'm not at the desert anymore? I'm at town now. The surrounding huts and houses were all made from natural materials as well as parts of animal, like their bones. 

Just as I was still looking around, A couple of kids were playing by one of the huts when suddenly one of the Giant Snake-worm popped out heading for the kids.

"WATCH OU___"

Bam-!!!

The Snake-Worm was cut in half cleanly.

The one who cut the Snake-Worms were the kids.

"Wow."

[Wow.]

[*Wow.*

The 3 of us gulped at the same time.

"So you're up now, fresh meat?"

I spin my body towards the back as I was dangling on the tree. 

On my back appeared a white haired Old man with a long sharp beard.

"Ho, Ho, you looked lively."

He starts spinning the rope that I was on.

"For you to be able to run through the Snake-Worm's main territory with just a stick and half a bottle, not bad kid."

He starts spinning faster and faster, making me feel nausea and continued speaking to me.

"But you know, if you want to stay here and survive. With you current skills, you won't be able to even win against those kids now."

I try looking at the kids, as they laugh among themselves and pointing at me before laughing again.

At one point the rope spin so hard that it snaps, plummeting me onto the ground with my face and the mask smacking the ground.

"Welcome to Hunter's Paradise, The country of Mydarn."

As he says that, he let's out a hearty laugh at me

Ryong then state:

[I need to recharge first, so I'm turning back into the charm mode now.]

And from there he turned back into Keychain charm.

The Old Man picked me up and brought me to his office.

There I was, seated there, all tied up while he went to brew a tea.

He came back passing me a cup of tea and started talking.

"So what's your story stranger. How on earth did you end up on the dessert."

I sat back quietly, didn't know how do I answered from here.

"As I see it, the resident of this country are quite strong that they are able to fend themselves through the dessert. When they travel from one town to another, they would either bring a mount for faster travel or bring more water.

But you, came all the way here with so little water and even barely surviving against the Snake-Worms. 

Such small critters are no issue for the people living here.

Which means, you're not from around here."

He glares at me, as I looked at him in his eyes.

I sighed and gave up all reasoning in this situation.

With no option, I just answered: " I came from another world."

He smirks at me, grinning and starts laughing again at what I said.

"I heard many things, from getting lost to infiltration to invasion. But that's the first time I've heard someone said that."

Suddenly the air around the atmosphere turns cold. it got heavier to breathe. An mass of aura seem to be appearing infront of me.

Yes. I know this feeling. It was Bloodlust.

Coming out from the man infront of me, he stares at me before asking: "Do you have the resolve to prove what you said is true or do you wish to die?"

With those words spoken out, I look at him directly in his eyes and said "Yes."
