I wake up from fear to tiredness.

And surprisingly, It's daytime...
And has the same day and night time cycle.

But I didn't sleep well...

"Ugh... That nightmare must've hit me hard... It was creepy..."

I pack up my only supplies and continued walking. Everything on these woods are extraordinary... There's many things to see.

But this isn't normal...

I hear howling sounds, and I feel like I'm being watched...

I know I escaped those creatures from horror books but, I think they're stalking me...

I continue to walk to find shelter. This world has a possibility of a civilization.

I walk and walk, I'm just going in different directions and I can't find a single civilization.

Many hours have passed. And I just spent my daytime finding a village or town and I haven't seen one.

I continue to walk.

"Axer, just keep walking... Don't be afraid..."

I walk and walk, I can run but that'll just waste my stamina.

But then... I smell a rotting corpse... I walk to where the smell was coming from and... I see a dead person... Were they hiking around here? No no... Their clothes looks like a normal villager, they weren't packed up with supplies.

Their eyes were full of maggots. Their organs are gone...

"I know I've been traumatized but... I'm never this traumatized..."

I couldn't get my eyes off the corpse... It was like I'm paralyzed, But that set me free...

There were crunching twigs heading to my direction...

I try to listen and look where the sound is coming from.

I see glowing eyes... And it made a growl...

"W-Well... That's good news... R-Right..?" I awkwardly smile with little sweat on my face form.

It growls... And started chasing me... Of course I have to run for my life. Or not...

I run again. Is this the same thing?.. Or am I just going through the past again?

I should probably toss aside these thoughts and focus on having a long life...

I ran as fast as I could, every step I take, A breath dies.
Every breath I catch, My stamina runs out.

I, again, I trip into something. Falling front face.
I groaned as I fall into a wet puddle. I get too much Deja vu...

I turned around just to see this... Creature in front of my face...

It looks like a he...

He growls at me...

"Huh... How would a weakling survive this long?.." He chuckled a little. Teasing me.

"Wha- y-you have been stalking m-me?.." I stare at him in shock and confusion.

He grabbed me by the collar, and pinned me to a nearby tree...

He smelled me around... I flustered a little.

"Huh... Looks like you're good for something instead..."

"Wh-What do you m-mean?.."
I ask for answers. And he gave me this...

A punch in the head knocking me out... He was strong...

I wake up... I Unblurred my eyes. Just to see myself imprisoned... Chains on my legs...

"This was the answer?.. An imprisonment?.. Why answer on this way?.."
