Story of Melancholy Hero

PROLOGUE "I'm home." Greeted by a young boy as he enters the door. He stares at his mother sitting on a couch as she drinks booze while watching television. "Ooh welcome back!" Said his mom in a drunk tone. "Big brother do you have spare money?" Her sister asked as usual. Then the young boy gave her the change. "Hey, kid start cooking for dinner! Your face itself sickens me as it reminds me of your father, be grateful I'm letting you live in here since your dead father left you here! You good for nothing !!" Yells by the mother. My sister doesn't care nor give a sign of concern. She only minds her own business as if she's not part of a family but greedily asked me for money every time I came back from a part-time job. Working with students was never easy. Life is always hard. I'm the one doing chores and everything. Every time my mother is drunk, she's always like that. And I hate it! Mom is always living a life of self-indulgence after father's death 3 years ago. Why is she even like that? What makes her changed into that? I'm tired of living this life. I can barely hang of it. The rope of living is getting thinner. Why am I being desperate to live into this? I think I should probably end my story here" He thought. In the middle of the night, the boy rose from his bed, leaving the room as he wears his jacket. he thought of going outside the house. All people are sleeping. He made sure to discreetly leave the house to visit a certain place. But in the process of walking through the quiet night in the middle of the road. Something unprecedented event happens to him. CHAPTER 1: WHERE AM I!!! The MC'S POV! "Where am I?" I woke up from an unfamiliar place. My body feels so refresh and my memory is hazy. I just woke up so it made sense my body feels like this. I rubbed my eyes and took a clear look at my front view only to saw a vast forest. "I see, Am I abducted? By whom? I could never imagine someone having a grudge on me though." I have so many questions piled up but I'll set that aside for now. I checked my right hand if there was a scar on my middle finger from when I got by picking the shard of glass I accidentally broke when I was a kid. Surprisingly my hand is scar-free. I tried spotting other bruised on my other parts as far I remembered only to find nothing but a masculine and healthy body. It's still early for me to jump conclusion. For me to be certain of what happened, I must know what this body's appearance looks like. The body feels different just recently from what I know, and it seems younger, this is already a hint. Too many uncertainties. Nevertheless I'm stark naked. "Now then, for starters, I better start moving than idling here guessing of impossible without evidence." I stand the ground when suddenly a shiver went down my spine as I feel someone's cold hand touched my right shoulder from my back. I can't look back as I was so scared and reflexively threw a punch to the source as I closed my eyes. I sprinted as fast as I and far as I can not knowing when to stop. Exhaustion got me after few minutes of running. "I've dried myself up, now I'm thirsty! Thanks to that scary ghost or something!" And so while I'm at it, I take a stroll searching for something useful to cover my lower part. Of course, I'm also needing for food and shelter necessary to survive in this wildlife. "Ooooh! Guess today is my lucky day!" I found a shirt. It was hanging on the tree, stuck. Though as I see it looks like an old brown shirt with scratches that reveal some of my skin, it's better than nothing. And so I start climbing on the tree. I saw the bird peeking under the shirt. I tried to scare it away using the branch I break from the tree. "Finally! Now I somehow do not worry about being cold? I guess it's fine even it's stinky." Just as I got the shirt, I heard the rattling sound from my side. I instantly know what it was. And that is when I felled of the tree as I instinctively know I needed to avoid that. "Aaagh! that sure is a bad trade." As I get up, I touched the things I needed. Yes! The one I needed! Vines with leaves. I didn't notice there were vines under the tree. And that covers my needed temporarily. I commenced my stroll again. I have travelled for an hour. Through my encounter, I find something odd. Yes. Something hard to believe or is it just my imagination? I saw this weird animal or maybe we can call it a monster? While I was gathering fruits that looks edible, I suddenly heard a loud thud and saw many birds flying. In any case, this feels like a dream, not a real world. though the sensation is real and I tried hurting myself but this is reality. This animal is scary as hell! It looks like a human-animal to me but that thing is like a combination of spider and human what's scarier is he's faceless! I think it's a modified human-animal experiment. No way that thing is friendly! But if it's modified then who is the mad and cruel scientist who created those and let them loose?! I manage to escape from it without getting noticed. Good thing if am to say. I manage to grab some weird fruits the textures feel different but I hope it's edible. Like this one shape like an apple and have 2 distinguished colours up and down. I'm in a different world now. This includes many new things changed I'm not accustomed to yet. Now I'm in this abandoned home. I found this house when I saw the almost covered in vines sign direction while travelling and followed its path hoping to find anything. I'm hoping there's no ghost suddenly popping around. This house is good for temporary shelter I guessed. It's a bit dusty on the inside. I'll leave tomorrows problem to tomorrow's me.
