Chapter 2 - Day 2.1 - Where am i? (Revised)

("HAHAHhA")

("I never thought he was chosen by that geezer.")

("Ye it is quite puzzling as to why he was chosen?")

("But still brothers, we need to be vigilant, we do not know what their goals are to achieve by bringing that corrupted piece of that old man.")

("Ye ye Pizmexler.")

("Don't be too carefree, Hkrvnkmux, we don't want what happened in Garbe to happen again.")

("That's not my name, Pizmexler, I don't want to be associated with that geezer.")

("This meeting is dismissed, brothers, and also when you get any more information about that rotten man, tell everyone immediately.")

("Geez, Sbjpmly, you should be ashamed because of your pride, we are fallen to this state, so don't command us with that prideful attitude as if everything is yours.")

Then, immediately, a suffocating atmosphere dropped down and was felt by everyone.

They dropped to their knees because of the pressure in the air.

("You should choose your word carefully, Ewqshiyw!")

("Ye ye i'm sorry Sbjpmly, I won't challenge you ever again!")

"Emet?" Then suddenly, a much greater pressure came; however, this time, everyone could feel some kind, intent on it, and then everyone realized what it was.

('Emet?!')

Then the pressure slowly faded away.

Immediately, some of the dark figures opened their arms, and a blue screen suddenly appeared in thin air.

("What was that? Who said that word that we erased from history!")

("It is that geezer chosen uiuuwv.")

("What really Illsglibi.")

("Ye he destroyed our surveillance on the rotten man.")

(That d**m geezer is hiding him!)

("Then this meeting is dismissed if you get any information you can get about that rotten man give it to us immediately, we must prevent this sheep not to learn about the truth.")

("Ok Sbjpmly.")

each of the dark figure vanish one by one until there are only one left.

("what is father trying to do?!")

As he vanish.

It was dark. 

When I suddenly felt a cloth rubbing against my skin.

"Jga, ycmg wr,"[1] I heard a little girl's voice.

As I opened my eyes, I saw a dark stone ceiling.

'Where am I?'

While still in a daze, a kid's shadowy head popped out in my vision.

"Jga, iwau, jg ku cycmg,"[2] the little girl said quietly.

'What? What are you talking about?'

I was lying there in the cold floor, as i wake up immediately got up and sat.

'Ouch, my back hurt,' while rubbing my back.

I noticed that my clothes were soaked with sweat.

'What happened to me??'

'Why am i soaked in sweats?'

'Wait! is it that glowing mushroom i eat?'

Suddenly, I smelled a foul smell like rotten food.

I started to look left and right and found out that I was in some kind of medieval structure with no light with a wooden door, but when I looked much more deeper and I saw a shadowy human silhouette on the floor and the walls. I could see 14 of them, 2 children and the rest are males.

'Where am I?'

This place looks like a dungeon of some kind.'

While in a daze, I felt a tap on my shoulder and saw it was the little girl.

"Jga, ctg aqw qm? Aqw ctg kp c fcbg,"[3] she said to me silently.

"jga ctg aqw qm, aqw ujqwnf jkfg eqog ykvj og."[4]

"What are you talki.. abo..?" immediately the kid covered my mouth and gestured me to not make a sound.

"Octa fqp'v dqvjgt jko cpf lwuv eqog vq og vjg Cpguvqg okijv ujqy wr htqo vjcv kfkqv."[5] Suddenly, I heard the voice of a man whispering.

When I faced the direction of the voice, I can see an intimidating hooded man that even in the dark you can feel something mysterious and scary about this man that made me remember a quote by H.P. lovecraft.

'The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.'

He was sitting on the cold floor in the corner close to the door.

Then I noticed something. The hooded man was carrying something in a cloth, as I stared at it deeply and was shocked to find that he was carrying a baby.

'A baby?!'

' Why is it not crying in this kind of situation? I have many experience with babies. They always cry when in this kind of situation. Like in the airplane?'

This dumbfounded me, and while in a daze, I saw the man faced me.

And our eyes meet each other.

Then I felt something surge around me, I could even see the other human silhouette flinch.

The man kept staring at me like a predator staring at its prey.

'What the f**k is this feeling?!'

My body begins to shake uncontrollably.

'What the h**k is that man? Why do I fear him?'

When suddenly the little girl blocked us in the middle and stared at the hooded man like she was protecting me.

"Uvqr kv, ngqtf!!"[6] the child screamed and echoed in the room.

Then suddenly, a creaking sound can be heard outside the room.

And chaos erupted. 

Two separate groups of people in two far corners of the room begin to fight like they want to be as far away from the dungeon door as possible.

I could see some of the people unconscious on the floor because of the fight.

Then suddenly, the child pulled me in my arms and brought me to where the hooded man was.

"Eqog swkemna, aqw pggf vq rkem c urqv dghqtg vjg Cpguvqg eqogu!!"[7] the child screamed.

The hooded man and I stared at each other for a minute, but we were interrupted by the sound of the door being opened.

'What are they afraid of? Is it a monster?'

As the door opened slowly, a human hand revealed itself, but what was scary about this hand was its fingers. 

It was sharp and had an eye on its palm, then suddenly a tube entered the gap of the door and spread some kind of gas.

"What the f**k is this?!" as I feel sleepy.

The gas spread, creating a mist in the room and one by one, the people fell unconscious.

'Is this really where I end?! Was this my fantasy isekai where I'm the main character?!' My last thought as I fell unconscious.

____________________________________________________________________________

"Who is this man?!" I heard my dad scream to my mother downstairs in the living room.

'Why's mom and dad fighting??'

"You brought someone while our kids are just up stare's?!" I got out of my room sneakily as to not alarm my parents and to see why my parents were fighting.

As I stepped on the stairs.

"Say something, why?! Just why?! I sacrificed myself to feed you and give you a perfect family that even your abusive family didn't give you!" I suddenly stop as to what my dad is talking about.

And i sneakily peeped at them and saw a man besides my mother.

"Cause I love him!" my mother screamed.

I was startled by what my mother said, and a word escaped my mouth, alarming them, but my parents did not push and just stared at each other with the man on the side of my mother.

I slowly and sneakily got to my room and sleep for the night.

Days later while at the party for my sister's birthday in some kind of fast food restaurant I could hear and see some of our guests talking about my family while taking a glance at my father, me and my sister.

"Their mother left them for another man. How sad."

While hearing this, I could see my older sister in his beautiful purple princess gown looking gloomy and awkward, even though it was his birthday.

I could also see my dad in his casual wear as if he did not put much effort to look good for my sister's birthday, but I see something in my dad's eyes that thought 'That's not dad?!' I could feel depression in my dads eyes, not like his previous self in my past.

Then I remember my mother's words 'Cause I love him!'

"Love ha?" I murmured.

'It destroyed my family!' While standing there clenching my hand into a fist with resentment in my eyes.

"Jga, ycmg wr,"[8] a quiet girl's voice suddenly echoed.

Then, immediately, I felt a hand shaking me in the back.

As I open my eyes, I see a familiar ceiling.

"What happened?" As I got up from the floor, and brushed the dirt on my clothes.

I could see people in the room on the floor and walls while I was watching them. I could feel their depression in the eyes like their soul had left their body.

'Why am I dreaming about that time, why now?!'

While in a daze, I noticed something was wrong. 

As I looked much more closely, I could see that half of the 14 people were missing.

I speculate on what happened to them and remember the scary hand and tube that spread a gas of some kind.

'Did that hand snatch them??' and that horrified me because I might be the one to be snatched from this group of people.

"Yjcv ctg aqw vcnmkpi cdqwv?"[9] the child said.

"Fqp'v dqvjgt ykvj jko, Octa,"[10] the hooded man said in the corner, carrying a baby.

While staring at the hooded man, I noticed something.

'Wait? Why is there no woman here because there are 14 people, and what are the chances they are all male?'

Then suddenly, a a loud howl can be heard outside.

"Kv dgicp, vjcv vqqm nqpi gpqwij."[11] The hooded man suddenly stood up, getting the attention of the people.

"Hqnnqy og, gxgtaqpg, kh aqw ycpv vq nkxg,"[12] and walked sneakily toward the wooden door.

Then he peeked and opened the door and walked out.

"Gxgtaqpg dg swkgv, qm, lwuv hqnnqy og, cpf yg yknn igv qwv qh jgtg."[13] The hooded man gestured to follow him.

'are you trying to escape this place??'

As the group followed him i also followed suit.

and when stepped outside the door i could see a dark hallway that creeped me out.

"Jga, jgtg."[14] said one man besides a wooden door.

"What are you saying?" I questioned him but the man never replied.

Then some of them got close to the man and opened the wooden door.

When they saw what it was, I could see their lit up with life.

And I walked to see what it was.

And saw that it was a pile of armors and weapons, some look ancient and some look new with blood on them.

And suddenly the hooded man came and put on some steel armor and picked 2 small swords and some throwing knives and a stick with cloth wrapped on top of it and tore a piece of cloth from a cloak on the pile and made a mask from it.

"Igv uqog ygcrqpu cpf ctoqt, dg tgcfa vq hkijv, cpf rwv qp c ocum vq rtgxgpv vjg rqkuqp,"[15] the hooded man said 

he raised his hand and open his palm.

'What are you doing?'

"Madura." he said silently and a fire came out of thin air in his hand and made a torch, and this shocked me.

'Magic?!'

However, as the light shone and I could now see my surroundings, and was shocked to see the room full of blood stains, and this almost made me vomit.

I knelt as my legs weakened, but was caught by the little girl.

As I looked closely at the girl, I found out that the child was just 4 to 5 years old with blond hair and diamond eyes that might make many youths fall in love with her, and was carrying the baby in his hand.

"Ctg aqw qm?"[16] said the little girl.

"Fqp'v jgnr jko cpaoqtg, jg'u c eqyctf, gcua vq fkg cpf gcua vq dgvtca aqw kp vjku yqtnf,"[17] the hooded man said while staring at me with hostility in his eyes.

When I look at the hooded man, I can see his face full of scars. With his brown hair, however, I can see fragments of a once handsome man that I felt jealous of even through all those scars.

He handed me a belt of some kind with a sheathed sword on it and a cloth.

As I held it, I was excited and thought of myself with a sword, saving a princess. 

At first, I thought this was much more heavy because it was made out of iron or steel but now its felt like carrying a child.

i walked on the pile and found a cool looking leather chest plate and i struggled a little to wear it.

'D**m i cant breath properly with this. But still i need this for protection.'

Then I found a big sword in the ground like one of the swords of Guts in 'Berserk'.

I was excited and lifted it but because of the heaviness I suddenly lost my balance and released it so as to not fall on the filthy floor with it.

As it touched the ground, it made a loud noise, alarming everyone on the room.

"How heavy is this? I've been lifting weights for 3 years."

Then suddenly, the hooded man threw a punch at me, making me vomit blood on my mouth, throwing me to the filthy floor.

"Oqvjgth***gt, aqw lwuv mknngf wu!!"[18] the hooded man screamed.

but I do not know what he was saying, however I could feel the anger in his voice.

"Gxgtaqpg rkem gxgtavjkpi wughwn kp c hkijv cpf dg tgcfa!"[19] And then he shouted looking everyone and commanding them.

As I stood up still in pain from the punch I could see all of the people properly now.

one of them was a young man with blond hair.

while there was also adult man who looked like an Indian, with a long beard and a well-built body.

and another old looking guy with white hair and a thin frame, however i could see muscle on him.

but what surprised me more was the other kid with his long blond braided hair, but he was actually a kid he was a dwarf in those fantasy movies that i mistook him as a fat kid.

'A dwarf i never thought i could see them while in this s**t hole.'

'And also why are they so jack? Maybe because they always used their body.'

and Then i saw everyone put on a mask and got ready, as I did the same.

And then a creaking sound suddenly came from outside the door.

Making everyone alert and ready to fight once the one who growled revealed itself.

[1] "Hey, wake up,"

[2] "Hey, guys, he is awake,"

[3] "Hey, are you ok? You are in a daze,"

[4] "hey are you ok, you should hide come with me."

[5] "Mary don't bother him and just come to me the Anestoe might show up from that idiot."

[6] "Stop it, leord!!"

[7] "Come quickly, you need to pick a spot before the Anestoe comes!!"

[8] "Hey, wake up,"

[9] "What are you talking about?"

[10] "Don't bother with him, Mary,"

[11] "It began, that took long enough."

[12] "Follow me, everyone, if you want to live,"

[13] "Everyone be quiet, ok, just follow me, and we will get out of here."

[14] "Hey, here."

[15] "Get some weapons and armor, be ready to fight, and put on a mask to prevent the poison,"

[16] "Are you ok?"

[17] "Don't help him anymore, he's a coward, easy to die and easy to betray you in this world,"

[18] "Motherf***er, you just killed us!!"

[19] "Everyone pick everything useful in a fight and be ready!"
