I was a college drop out. I always had a fancy looking at videos where people would vlog their adventures on ruins, old cities and survive on the forest.
I also wanted to have that kind of excitement in my life. Where I would feel alive, unlike this dull yet comfortable city life. Seeing danger is where the real fun begins. That's why I ultimately decided to drop out of college.
I travelled a lot to special places. The amazon rainforest, The deepest ocean Mariana trench, Chernobyl russia, Oradour-sur-Glane WW2 and more.
But alas where I was just ruin exploring, I somehow got caught off guard by the attention of a really dangerous cult. I am currently running away from them. While running I got shot in my lower spleen, just barely hit my kidney. But bleeding myself out and running out of blood fast, the cultist are also slowly closing the distance.
I did bring a gun, my M1903. I need to find cover and get some shots at them, even if just to slow them down.
I leaned myself to a wall, had my gun at the ready. I blasted my 5 rounds at them and hit one on the head and the other two just barely grazed them. I didn't think this through, I was just shooting wildly and was just hoping to injure them, I didn't think I would kill one. They seemed more pissed off, probably because I killed one of their goons.
I started running again, but then pain was starting to be unbearable. I started to slow down and also started lose some ground. At this rate I am gojng to get cornered on the rooftop.
They were relentlessly firing me, I don't know if it's a miracle or they are just bad shots, but they keep missing. But soon my luck would run out, now that I am cornered on the roof.
"Someday this was going to happen. But didn't think it would be this soon. Who'd knew there would be a crazy group in this area."
That was a lie, I was already warned beforehand that there was some sightings of a cult in the area and didn't think much of it. I thought it would just end up in a run and escape them. But I didn't think they would have guns.
I laughed pathetically, I started to slow down also getting dizzy and trying my best not to lose consciousness. I found some cover and I started to reload ammo in my gun. The group that was chasing my suddenly stopped at the entrance of the roof. They are surprisingly sharp, they knew I was at an advantage and decided to be careful.
"сдавайся и мы позволим тебе жить"
'Surrender and we will let you live'
Yeah like hell they will, I killed on of their goons. They will probably torture me and offer me to their god of sorts.
"А как насчет того, чтобы вернуться в задницу своей матери"
'How about you go back to your mother's ass'
I mocked them that reply, that would surely piss them off. Then my right arm suddenly felt hot. I got grazed, by a bullet, from where?
I panicked.
There was another entrance, the fire exit! This is bad they'll sorround me eventually! I got my gun up and shot wildly hoping they would hesitate to climb up at least that would buy me some time.
I was thinking of a plan to escape the situation, probably run and jump to get to the other side of the building. But I am too heavily injured and tire to make that kind of jump. Got to find another way, jumping straight 100 meters off ground? Probably won't survive doing so, but better than getting captured.
Then my gun clicked, but nothing came out. I ran out of bullets, so they started shooting back.
"Ugh!"
I got shot on the arm and body. Standing on the edge of the building, left with no choice I decided to fall...
I guess this is where it all ends, I wanted to face danger and it finally got me in the end.
I reaped what I sow.
Then my fall suddenly slowed down, I was on my feet, on the ground safe. What just happened, I could have sworn I was falling really fast.
"Найди тело и принеси его мне!"
'Find the body, bring it to me'
I heard footsteps coming closer, I ran as fast as I could. It started to rain so the blood that was dripping from my body would make it hard for them to track me.
I started to run aimlessly, there was a fog then it suddenly thickened. I guess this is good for me, I stopped on a nearby forest. Decided to put pressure on my wounds to slow the bleeding.
Now where in the world am I? I left all my gear on the rooftop except my knife and gun. I left my map with my bag, so I am pretty much lost. The fog suddenly have gotten thicker.
"You who seek danger and the unknown."
A voice, inside my head? Then I saw a figure beyond the mist. I tried moving closer, but I was not getting any nearer.
"Do you wish to venture to an unknown land, the barren sea and the high skies?"
What is happening? Suddenly giving me an offer? Did I really die from the fall? Is this heaven? But I killed a person so am I going to hell?
"I am giving you a chance, to do what you love to do most. To seek the unknown and face the most exciting dangers."
What is there to explore? This world is so barren and I can barely breathe underwater to explore the ocean.
"But this world is not the same as yours. It is a world composed of many worlds. Thus it is in need of a talent like your's"
Another world? I guess the universe is pretty big after all. Then I have a question, before I accept this offer of yours. Who are you and why me?
"I am merely a servant of the gods, but the God of Adventures have taken you to a liking, choosing you as it's disciple."
So god does exist? They also have taken interest on my adventures, I feel pretty accomplished from what I was doing now. Not that I didn't feel accomplished before, but now it all felt worth it!
"What is thoust answer?"
Is it not obvious? Of course I will! A new world with new horizons to explore! Nothing makes my blood boil more!
"Answer received, now we will proceed to transfer consciousness. You will wake up in a new form and beside you will be your most trusted tools and it will be blessed by the Goddess Ventura herself."
"I will pray for your travel and bless your journey! With this, thoust newest name shall be."
ABEL, The new dawn.
