Chapter 2: Tyrannical World
BANG!!!
Nix got hit.
His body was sent flying close to a building entrance.
"SOMEBODY, CALL THE AMBULANCE"
"A-alright!"
The people around the crash site began to began to talk,
And some went to the crash site.
They first looked at the driver inside the truck.
"Shit...I fucked up... my life is over...
Ahh... No...No...No..."
Teas began spilling from His eyes as the driver grabs his remaining hair.
The people who are checking the area, saw the expression and random muttering of the driver.
They distanced themselves giving the man personal space then,
"Hey lets check on the young man..."
As they head toward Nix's location what they saw is...
Nothing?
"Huh where did he go?"
"His body was just there a moment ago."
They looked around,
"Hey has any of you seen where he's been?"
He asked the bystanders.
"Im sorry sir, we are also clueless where he could've gone... He was just there... but when we blinked he was gone..."
Silence...
...
Nix was walking normally,
Far from the crash site.
He's in a park with barely any people around.
His thoughts are now cleared up thanks to the crash.
"Huff... that was... troublesome..."
He dusted dirt off his clothes and continued walking but this time with a clear mind...
Before he could formulate another thought a crack suddenly appeared in front of him.
'Huh...?'
Nix raised an eyebrow looking at the crack on the ground with curiousity.
The crack on the ground is not a construction damage,
but more like shards...
'What is happening...'
The crack then began to show to show sparks of dark, red, purple electrical current and it began expanding.
Nix widened his eyes,
His instincts screamed of danger tried to move away,
But the fast cracking on the floor is extremely sudden.
Nix with all his physical ability couldn't outrun the growing crack...
Nix suddenly fell down...
Silence...
No one saw what happened to him,
It all happened too quick.
...
Nix suddenly opened his eyes and a heavy pressure was pressed upon him...
"Khurg-..."
Nix despite not knowing want happened,
He immediately analyzed His current condition and surroundings with logical precision.
'T-this pressure... could it be gravity...?'
Nix looked around,
It looked like he's in a forest that he's never seen before.
Many unique shaped trees all with extremely thick barks and roots,
Multi color plants with different shapes and sizes.
'This... these things aren't from earth...'
Nix realized,
His head spin with many theories and came up with a conclusion...
'Is this what those people call isekai??'
As Nix wondered he tried to stand up but the extreme weight is absolutely crushing him.
'Khrugh... I haven't felt this back on earth for a very long time.
My bones feel like shattering, my muscles feels like breaking.
Im also in the middle of nowhere... this is bad...'
One look at Nix's current condition shows him sweating profusely from exerting his muscles just to keep up with the oppressive gravity,
His polo also got dirtied by the forest.
Just as He is thinking, the bush behind him moved.
Despite the overwhelming gravity,
He moved back as far as he could with all his might because his instincts screamed danger in the face of the unknown.
Then out of the bush came out a hare with a narwhal like horn in the middle of it's forehead.
Nix seeing this froze.
He didn't know if it's hostile or not,
so He began moving back slowly avoiding triggering a response for the creature,
But sure enough it twisted it's head to Nix's direction and prepare to charge at him.
As Nix walks back his back felt a solid matter behind him, he felt it with one hand not daring to take His eyes off the creature.
The hare began thumping it's hind legs.
PWEEFFF!
PWEEFFF!
It began making noises.
Cornered, Nix is already thinking of what to do in his mind with fast speed.
'Since the gravity of this place he's in is extremely heavy and that hare appearing to be a native,
it should possess superior strength and speed...'
'Ill have to anticipate the hare's charging direction and instinctively move to the side'
The moment the plan was made his body immediately acted on instinct pushing through the extremely heavy gravity,
When he blinked the hare was already at a rock where he once stood,
Nix has avoided death.
Fortunately the stupid hare accelerated so hard that it bashed it's skull when Nix dodged in advance.
Nix looked at the corpse of the creature, it's horns still somehow intact but the head turned into a spray of blood with brain and skull fragments covering the side of the rock.
'Despite being so fast, the durability of the hare is mediocre...'
Nix thought.
Nix then went closer to look at the body of the creature,
He saw a the shining horn laying next to the dead hare's body,
Nix took the horn and it's surprisingly light,
Nix could tell even under heavy gravity.
'The durability and sharpness of his horn could be useful,
It's just what I need to Hunt and Craft...'
Just as Nix is thinking of what to do next he heard a sound behind him of multiple people.
"Hey Guys it's a person in the forest..."
Nix immediately turned around, weary of the people.
When He turned around as quickly as he can under the heavy gravity,
His eyes landed on Three people,
He clenched the sharp horn he obtained,
Nix was prepared to fight but He didn't take on a fighting stance in order to avoid misunderstandings.
Nix also noted the fact that they're speaking completely a different language compared to what He learned back on Earth.
'Judging of their aura, they're strong...
Extremely so, I feel like an ant in their presence.'
Nix thought while keeping a poker face.
"Hey man what are you doing out here?"
A handsome blonde haired man with blue eyes on an attire made for hunting asked.
Nix was silence...
He did not understand a single word that came out of the man's mouth.
"Hoo, This guy is really handsome~"
She licked her lips staring at Nix
A woman with green eyes and short black hair also sporting a hunter like attire behind the blonde haired man commented.
WACK!!!
"Jeez, Stop that... You're scaring Him."
"OUCH, WHY DID YOU DO THAT!"
The woman complained, rubbing her head with a sulking expression.
The man who smacked the woman behind the head is a tall man with a wide frame and long black hair and dark eyes also sporting a hunter attire.
'I kept a poker face as I observe them.'
The handsome blonde haired man chuckled at their behavior then went back and gazed at me with a neutral expression.
'I kept a silent front.'
"Hmm, Hey man can you understand us?"
Nix still stayed silent which indicated He isn't from around here.
"Alex, I dont think he can understand us."
The man with long black hair said to the blonde hair man.
"hmmm... Oh that's right, Captain we communicate via drawings on the ground or gestures!"
The woman with green eyes suggested to the blonde haired man.
"Great idea!"
The blonde haired man then slowly walked up to Nix with his hands raised up high, Showing that He meant no harm.
Nix worried, stopped him immediately once 5 meters by gesturing a stop sign with difficulty.
The blonde haired man immediately understood and stopped,
He then picked up a stick in the ground near Him and started to draw.
Nix observing saw the blonde haired man picking up a stick.
Being cautious, Nix immediately prepared himself but when He saw the man drawing He still kept his guard up waiting.
The man with long dark hair and the woman with green eyes watched with neutral expressions.
Alex then draw a humanoid figure on the ground with houses, pointing at Nix with questions marks.
Nix immediately interpreted this as:
"Where are you from?"
Nix then slowly took a stick from the ground aswell having a hard time with the gravity,
He slowly drew to give back an answer.
Nix a humanoid figure and a village far from the humanoid figure,
Indicating that he's from somewhere far.
The blonde man nooded and immediately went back to drawing again,
This time he drew a humanoid figure with trees around it and question marks.
"This man asking why im here?"
Nix then drew a figure shrugging it's shoulders with question marks around it.
The blonde haired man nooded and drew three figures together and one figure separate from the three and made point signs that forms a circle.
Nix immediately interpreted it as:
"Wanna come with us?"
Nix thought about it and weighted the pros and cons regarding his future decision.
After three seconds Nix nooded His head.
'It's better to gamble going with them than aimlessly wonder our this forest with many unknowns.'
"Great, Come along with us!"
The blonde haired man smiled, bright light radiating from his handsome smile.
Nix then walked but his pace was slow due to the gravity.
The others noticed his slow pace but doesn't know why so the man with long back hair stepped up and gave him a hand.
"Hey man, i know you might not even understand what im saying but here, ill help ya."
Nix looked at the hand stretched out to him.
Nix's lips cracked a little bit giving his face a warm smile...
'How long... How long has it been since someone offered their hand to help me...'
The trio looked at Nixed and also cracked a smile.
'Oh dear he's too handsome~'
The woman with green eyes thought.
Nix then grabbed the man's hand.
The man smiled and placed Nix's hand over his nape, supporting him in walking.
"Hmm, despite this man having a good build how can he not move properly?"
The black hair man commented.
"He's probably injured or something."
Said the woman with green eyes.
"Whatever happened to Him it's all okay now since he's alive."
"By the way are still going to hunt?"
asked the woman with gree eyes.
"We will while walking along the way."
The blonde haired man replied.
"Well I'll just hold and stand by this gentleman while you both hunt."
The man with long black hair smiled.
"Mhm you're just lazy."
The woman with green eyes pouted.
...
As they walk Nix listen to their discussions, although he doesn't understand what they're saying he can see how close they are just being seeing how they communicate.
Nix began feeling jealous, He wish He could be like that too...
The blonde haired man suddenly stopped,
He the slowly took out a danger from his pocket.
Nix still being helped by the man with long dark hair observed.
The blonde haired man suddenly flickered out of Nix's perspective and into a bush,
The blond haired man stabbed something in the bush and he pulled out a large horned hare.
"Woah nice one Alex!"
The girl with green eyes praised.
"Thats a big one!"
The man with long black hair praised while still helping Nix.
"That's what she said~"
The blonde haired man joked.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
The man with long hair laughed while Nix is confused.
"Hmph, Men."
The woman with green eyes snorted.
"Hahaha, well this will be my meal tonight~"
The man with blonde hair chuckled.
"Can you hunt one for me too?"
The man with long black hair requested to the blonde haired man.
"Can't you just get the ones we hunted that's in the bag?"
The woman with green eyes interjected.
"No, we have to sell all of them,
it's better if we just hunt our own meals."
The man with long black hair replied
"I agree."
The blonde haired man nodded.
Nix observed them collecting data.
'It seem like they're all hunters,
Im lucky I came across them.
The way they hunt and move, it's like they're all superhumans.
So this is the strength of the natives of this world, the gravity literally allows them to be physically superior than most,
But I feel like it's more than just gravity.'
Nix began to theorize while observing the Hunters and Memorizing the environment all at the same time.
