"Where is this?.." Fyar opened his eyes and looked around him. Tall trees. Wet grass, strange plants.
A forest? I'm in a forest?.. Wait, wait a minute... am I dreaming?... Wasn't I just on a mission?... Mmm, what I remember is shooting that perverted political businessman in the head... and after that, I shot his mirror because I found it interesting... Mmm, what went wrong?.. Wait, wait, could it be because I shot the mirror?.. Hypnosis? Damn it, I'm not drunk!
Fyar looked at the pistol he held in his right hand and a watch worth his pride in his left.
The weapon I brought is still here... mm. The watch isn't working here? It shows 23:00... that's the time I killed him... I have to stay calm, I have to stay calm... For now, I'll think about what just happened...
Fyar walked carefully through the forest. Fyar sometimes pinched his cheek and hit himself to make sure this wasn't a dream.
Fyar then leaned against a tree and checked the items he kept in his jacket pocket. Among them were a chocolate bread, 45 bullets, a knife, and anti-radiation glasses. Fyar realized that something was missing: his phone!
Only the phone is missing... this is too strange... how could I suddenly be in this forest... no matter how I look at it, this doesn't make any sense!
Rawr!!
Rawwr!!!
Aaaaaaaaa!!!
Not long after, Fyar heard a roar like a lion's and also a scream that sounded human!
Fyar instinctively hid in the bushes, trying not to make a sound, and carefully approached the source of the noise.
That sound... it's like a lion's roar and also like a human scream... what's happening?? Wait, is that a human voice?.. I'm not sure...
Once he was not too far away, Fyar saw a monster like a one-eyed wolf opening its mouth and letting out a scream like a lion's and a human's!
What the f**k was that???
Damn, what is that? I've never seen a creature like that in my life... what is this? Is that internet conspiracy theory about an SCP creature real?.. Damn, what the hell is actually happening!
I have to shoot that thing...
I can guess that if it notices my presence, it will kill me in less than 10 seconds!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Three bullets hit the head of the one-eyed wolf-like creature and successfully brought it down!
It worked! Phew, Fyar breathed a sigh of relief and slowly approached the strange monster's corpse. He then observed it.
Fyar's expression froze when he saw the monster, because it was the kind of monster usually found in games, anime, novels, and manga!
The monster had six legs, three tails. Its skin was dark blue, and its eye was red. Its claws were as sharp as knives, and its teeth were like human teeth.
Unbelievable... I could probably assume I'm dreaming or being hypnotized... or maybe it's a lucid dream. That's the only logical reason for now.
Fyar continued walking around the forest.
The further Fyar explored the forest, the stranger the things he encountered.
Giant human-sized mushrooms, towering trees, winged caterpillars, butterflies with the faces of bears, and also snakes with legs.
Seeing this, Fyar became more convinced that he was dreaming or had been forcibly hypnotized by his enemy!
Fyar then heard the sound of splashing water and decided to go to the source and wash his face.
"A river..." Fyar muttered.
He approached the water and saw his reflection, still wearing the clothes from his mission to kill a politician.
Purple hair, purple eyes. A sharp jawline, neat hair, a black shirt, a black blazer, a black tie, a black jacket, and a prominent nose.
Fyar wet his hair with water and slicked it back.
At that moment, Fyar felt a little more handsome.
Fyar had decided that he was under the influence of hypnosis or a dream, which calmed him down a bit.
Because according to Fyar, that was the only logical explanation for now!
"Maybe I should just enjoy it... it's not often I get entertainment like this, hehe," Fyar muttered.
Fyar straightened his tie and shirt collar, and also his shoes.
After that, Fyar explored the forest area until he finally managed to get out and saw a road.
Fyar breathed a sigh of relief and planned to follow the road, hoping to find something.
After walking for 15 minutes, Fyar began to feel thirsty, and eventually, he felt like he was about to faint from exhaustion and thirst. The scorching heat of the sun made him want to just fall asleep.
Fortunately, he could endure a situation like this thanks to his 4 years of experience at the academy.
"Spare us!!"
"Spare us!!"
"We'll give you
all our fortune!!"
"Please don't kill us!!"
Humans? Human screams?
Wait, it could be a monster! Fyar muttered to himself.
After hearing the pleas for help, Fyar quickly hid behind a tree beside the road and slowly approached the source of the cries.
He approached slowly, in a stance ready to shoot anything he saw.
Once he was close enough, Fyar could clearly see the source of the screams.
It really was humans!
An old man with white hair and a beautiful woman with green eyes and long white hair were raising their hands towards a group of masked bandits.
Behind them, two bandits seemed to be preparing to drive a horse-drawn vehicle that appeared to belong to the old man and the beautiful woman.
Meanwhile, two other bandits were watching and threatening the woman and the old man.
"Spare us.
We've already handed over our merchandise and gold."
"We swear we won't report this to the kingdom!!
Please don't kill us!" the old man said.
The bandit looked at the beautiful woman to the old man's right.
"I'll spare your life,
but I'm taking the woman beside you," the bandit said.
"Please don't!!! She's my only remaining daughter!! Just kill me,
take me, not her!!" the old man pleaded with the two bandits in front of him.
"You're not the one who decides!"
After saying that, the bandit grabbed the beautiful woman's arm.
"Nooo, father, help me!! Father, father!!! Forgive me!! Please s-spare me!! Please," the beautiful woman cried out.
"It's her or I kill your father!!
You shut up too, old man, or I'll kill your daughter!!" the bandit shouted.
Bang!
The bandit holding the woman suddenly collapsed to the ground with a hole in his eye.
The old man quickly approached and hugged the beautiful woman, his daughter.
"W-what happened?!
Damn it, an enemy? Is this magic?" the other bandit panicked when he saw his partner suddenly fall.
BANG!
A shot hit that bandit right in the head and made him fall to the ground.
The two bandits by the carriage panicked, confused as to why their two companions had suddenly fallen.
"Wha-"
Bang!
Bang!
Before he could finish his word,
both bandits were shot right in the head.
"Spare us, spare us!"
The old man was still hugging the beautiful woman who was his daughter.
Not long after, the man saw someone wearing what he considered strange, all-black clothing with purple hair walk out from behind a tree and approach them.
"Don't panic... I'm just a lost adventurer... As a token of your gratitude, please give me some money and take me to the city. Oh, and also, allow me to introduce myself. The name's Fyar, or 77,"
Fyar said, giving the old man and the woman a cynical smile.
