That Time When I Got Reincarnated as a Survivor

Unknown Stone

Ash is waking slowly while the dirt is all over his face and the blood that he lost has mixed with many dirty things.

‘’Oowaahahah! Hah? Ah, I woke up! Heh! Heh! Haaah! Safe! Nothing is missing from my body but Agh, it hurts…’’

Ash started to look right and left till he noticed that man’s message.

‘’’HERE IS THE PLACE! AFTER TWO NIGHTS! BRING ME SOMEONE’S HEAD’’’

‘’That bas**rd, how can I do that, they’re strong and monsters after all! damn! but… I have to do it! I have to gain his trust! For my family.’’

…

I took some steps ahead till a found some mushrooms, at first I thought they were poisoned or something but my belly couldn’t take it anymore, I took some of them, one after the other till I felt that I was full and at that moment some walking girls in red cloaks started to appear in front of me!

I took my defense position!

‘’What the hell are you!?’’

I asked while I was thinking about running because THEY WERE A LOT!!

‘’Hey! I asked you a question!’’

The girls continued their way just I was not there, at that moment, I ran as well but something stopped me, a huge grey wolf with some weird clothes.

‘’Are they an old woman’s sleeping clothes or what?’’

The wolf opened his mouth and his sharp tusks appeared, they were so big, like 30 centimeters, I couldn’t take that even I had that idea of facing him and get his head but I ran like prey that was about to be eaten.

‘’Haaaaah! Haaaah! Get away from me! Leave me alone!’’

I ran and I ran and I ran till I hit something like a rock then I wounded my head and fell… After some time, I woke up, and I realized that all that was just a hallucination of the story that I loved since my childhood…

But when I woke up, I found myself in some incredible place, a waterfall in a mountain, the water is flowing in a river till it goes down of the floating island, there are also some big birds that I didn’t want them to notice me because they were eating some dead bodies, but what a view! it’s just amazing, I took some steps to see what’s under the floating island but I didn’t see anything, the view was blocked by some smoky particles, and every time those particles try to enter the island something like a done with small holes prevent that from happening, I took a sip from that river then I went towards the forest again because at least it’s the safest place for someone like me.

…

The two nights have passed, I guess I have just some hours left to make my part out of that deal that we made which is to bring him someone’s head.

Ash is lying down on a tree branch thinking…

‘’I guess, it’s over for me, where can I find someone, and can I even do what he expects me to do? what a psychopath! I wish we had some island like this one, me and my family, just us, and live our lives till we go old and die but we’ll live a happy life, I guess having a Wifi network would be great, and some TV, Hmmmm… And what about a girlfriend? Haha! What the hell am I talking about…? But damn, at least one can dream sometimes in the middle of this m******e, everyone is ready to kill the other one for Gold, damn, what a world…’’

I was saying all that while some eyes were watching me till suddenly something moved!

‘’What! Hey! What are you!? Who is there?’’

I asked but no one answered, so I took a tree branch and landed on the ground.

‘’I am warning you! I could harm you!’’

Big wide eyes, small nose, small mouth with two teeth, fluffy fur, I guess the perfect example of cuteness has just appeared in front of me.

‘’Hey! Hey little guy, what are you doing here? are you from this island as well?’’

With its cute and innocent look, he kept staring at me like he is telling me to get closer…

‘’Hey! Don’t move, I just want to touch that fur of yous!’’

Little by little, I got closer till it became inches between us and at that moment I realized that I made a huge mistake! Because through that cute small body, something like my size or bigger has just got out! It was too black and his eyes were white! It was like those ghosts that I see in movies!

With one blow of his eyes! He destroyed the tree!

‘’I SHALL TAKE YOUR SOUL!!’’

I dodged that blow fastly, then I took some gravels and started to throw them at the damn black thing, and that moment I asked myself!

‘’What the hell was he doing inside that thing!?’’

Then the answer came to me automatically, because I liked watching those animals documentaries, I knew that there are some animals that make some traps to attract their prey, something that looks like food, something that looks like a place where you should enter, something like that, this is what the damn ghost thing was doing.

‘’You damn ghost thing! He-a?’’ - Ash

I gathered my courage and screamed to attack him directly then I realized that the gravels didn’t hit him but they passed through him like he was nothing.

‘’Hehah-Hehah-Hehah!’’

And that was the weirdest laugh that I have ever heard in my entire life!

‘’I GLAHT BE JYET-###’’

The monster started to speak some different language then he came at me like a black cloak!

I tried to dodge it but it covered me!

‘’Mmmmhhmmmmm!!!!’’ - Ash

I couldn’t breathe because the monster is getting inside my mouth and nose!

‘’Mmmmhhmmmmm!!!!’’

‘’Mmmmhhmmmmm!!!!’’

‘How can I kill it? How? I am out of ideas, at that moment, I thought my death was something inevitable till I screamed with all the oxygen that remained in my lengs!

‘’You piece of s**t!’’ - Ash

‘’…!?’’

The monster stopped suddenly!

At that moment, I captured the monster’s body which looks like a black cloak, at first, I wasn’t able to touch it, so I kept moving my hands in the air till I found something that was too solid, I squeezed it, but it didn’t do anything, so I decided to take it outside of the monster’s cloaked body!

‘’HEEEEAAAYH!!’’

A scream was heard then the monster has vanished and that solid thing stayed in my hand.

‘’What is this?’’ - Ash

It was like a stone with some glowing lines, then all of a sudden, it melted in my hand and covered my skin till I felt it inside my system.

‘’A parasite! A parasite!! What the hell is this? What is it!!? How can I get it out?!!’’ - Ash
