To his luck, Raez's portal opened up above the Forest.
"Not again!!!" - Raez screamed, and prepared to hit the ground.

"Ouch, it hurts.., still it didn't hurt as much as the one in the temple..thanks to those trees.." - Raez gritted his teeth in slight pain, after hitting the ground.

• temple - actually was a cathedral •

Standing up, Raez observed his surroundings, biting the bottom lip he decided to explore, and look around for more people, in hopes to find others.

"Well..., I'm not sure how dangerous this place could be, I really need to find something to fight with." - sighting, starts examining, noticing a sturdy stick under the rocks.

• that's .....a log •

"It's alright for a start , at least now I won't have to fight bare handed," - said Raez, grabbing the stick and swinging it around. "Night will fall soon. I better find a shelter to stay for the night." - he added, as he kept strolling around.

*Many hours later*

After hours of walking, Raez couldn't find a single person, not even a shelter, let alone the city. The night has fallen down, and he started to tremble from the cold.

Worried about the fact whether or not he's been stranded alone, he didn't want to take the risk of travelling during the nighttime, and layed down under a nearby giant tree, to rest.

Yawning, he stared at the stars, "It's just me, myself, and I...all alone, in the middle of nowhere" shivering from cold he chuckled then added "I hope those guys are safe and sound, maybe they had more luck than I did" with that his eyes began to close, and soon he fell asleep.

*Couple of hours later*

Raez woke up in the middle of the night and felt something strange nearby so he decided to check it out. Behind the huge tree, in the bushes he noticed a weird creature that stayed still, not moving an inch.

*" A furball? No could be a furry monster...or a person??"* questioning the weird thing to himself, he slowly grabs his stick and carefully approaches it, to try to talk with it.

"Uhm, Hi! Little furball? Are you a living person? Do you know where we are?"- nervously he asked, but no sound of response came.

As words didn't go through those furball's ears, Raez determined it was a monster and swung his stick around starting to attack it. Furball didn't fight back, it just remained on the same spot, There wasn't a single noise other than raez hitting it

After attacking it continuously at the same spot it's skin started to appear

" It's awesome! I've wasted a lot of time over here.. " saying such he uses his utmost strength to cut through its skin, while he managed to cut it, his stick shattered with some of the pieces still stuck inside the monster.

" Ergh..... Disgusting , I need another weapon." grossed out, checking around, he discovered a few plants and mushrooms.

" I'll need those ." After inspecting it, he brought those back and later decided to make a paste out of mushroom, and used the plants as rope, so he could use the sharp shredded pieces of broken wood hoping to make it into a poisonous Needle .

• looks like a spear •

"Not sure if those mushrooms were poisonous, but this is my last bet "- praying, Raez started piercing the thing with his needle and after sometime the being disappeared.

" Wow.... That thing was as big as the Mayor's house back in my world!!" said Raez exhaustedly.

" Are all monsters in this world this big and strong..? Didn't those so-called God's tell us we'd have some special powers given??" Raez started questioning himself as his exhaustion suddenly disappeared.

"It was level 25!!! No wonder it took so long for me to kill it" Raez murmured to himself as he overlooked the drop that had appeared at the exact place, where being's body should have been and started walking away.

× Congratulations you've earned an achievement
"How does it feel to kill an infant?" ×

"*INFANT!!!! THAT THING WAS DOUBLE THE SIZE OF OUR OLD HOUSE AND YOU STILL CALL IT AN INFANT!!!*" Raez screams in his mind, still annoyed with the fact that it was so strong, despite being nothing but an infant.

"I wonder how big it would have gotten, if it wasn't an infant....? NO! I don't wanna think about it!" Raez shaked his head as he started to get chills just thinking about the possibility of it being able to fight back.
