《The Quest To Devour All》Chapter 5 [Edited 18/12/19]

He started floating on the water and technically kept his breath in as he didn't really need to breathe because of his {Sunlight Photosynthesis} skill which included the production of oxygen as long as his skin encountered sunlight and carbon dioxide he found out early on while walking from the system.
He still questioned why he didn't need water for photosynthesis but he easily shrugged it off.
Back to his current situation, Tremis could feel the slight movements of the water getting closer and closer before he heard a blood-curdling scream.
"AHHHHHH! ITS A DEAD BODY!"
Hearing that the person was so close he tried to relax more to seem as if he was really dead and then purposefully opened his mouth to intake the water.
Fearing that he would die, he didn't really swallow the water but instead kept it in his mouth and shrinking his cheeks so it seems as if nothing was inside them.
Shit, they are very close..too close..uncomfortably close..
Soon Tremis heard another voice but this time it sounded like a male in his early 20s or even a teenager for that matter.
"What a body? I thought we were the only people inside this forest.."
This male voice was obviously more chill than the female who Tremis could obviously hear hyperventilating.
"That's exactly my point! How could anyone else be in this dangerous forest!.." the female voice said then with a softer voice she talked again.
"Danny..can you please..remove it?. We were supposed to be using this water to bathe but now it’s getting more bloody.."
"Yeah yeah I'll move it Fae.." the male voice said as he walked closer and closer to the "corpse" and picked it up as the turmoil inside Tremis' head increased.
Shit shit shit shit! This is not what I planned. I just wanted them to move away from the dead body. I guess that is too much to ask for..but I don't want to be left in this goddamn forest! I gotta show them I am still alive.

As the male named 'Danny' carried the "corpse" over his shoulder to shore not even bothering to look at it, it suddenly coughed as water spewed out its mouth then coughing a few more times.
"AHHH ITS A ZOMBIE!" the female named 'Fae' could be heard screaming as it could be easily assumed that she wasn't the most "brightest" of people.
"Idiot! It's not that its a zombie! It's because this person is alive!" as Danny said this, he quickened his steps to the shore and gently laying Tremis on the dirt.
Danny laid his hands on Tremis chest, starting to perform the Heimlich maneuvers.
Tremis had extra water in his mouth just for this situation as he coughed again making a little bit more water come out of his mouth as he inwardly thought that he was a genius.
He could hear another scream from the female he now had known as Fae immediately stopping any thought he had and thinking if she ever shuts up.
"What are you screaming about now?" Danny said as he looked over to Fae seeing her holding her hand over the lower half of her face.
"Nothing..just that why is such a..noble looking person would be out here and..naked.." then all Tremis could hear was somebody’s head being hit as Danny said, "He almost drowned and you told me to toss him away but then you act like a fangirl and start blushing over his appearance?"
Feeling as if he had enough time acting dead, Tremis slowly opened his eyes acting as if he had just woken up and started looking around then to the people who had "saved" him.
He saw the male called Danny, he was a short blonde-haired teenager with blue eyes and what appeared to be a set of bronze armor with steel-looking longsword hanging on his back.

He looks like the energetic type..just great..
Next, he saw Fae who appeared to be your typical mage airheaded character.
Long black hair, hazel eyes with a mole under her right and a red wizard hat accompanied with a red robe.
Then a mage..the old warrior and..fire?..mage combo eh?.the system did tell me they called upon the Gods and there was a fire one so I can only conclude with fire mage.
"Oh, he is waking up!" Danny said as he quickly went back to Tremis and put his hand under his head to support it if there was any trouble.
"He really is waking up!" Fae also said as he walked over to him as well then squatting down right next to him.
White...
"Hey! What's your name? How did you get here? Are you alright?" Danny said as he had a worried face while looking down at Tremis, quickly barraging him with questions.
Time to put my acting skills to good use!
Tremis pretended to be groggy and stared at Danny as he acted like he was thinking.
"Who are..you people?.."
Danny quickly said in a hurried manner "I am Danny and she is Fae.. we are an adventure group..we were coming over to this waterfall to take a bath then we heard noises and you were there floating on top of the water in a pool of blood. Now can you please answer my questions?"
"Oh..thank you for saving me..My name is..Tremis?..im sorry I can't remember anything other than that.."
Danny and Fae looked at each other with worry in their eyes as Danny looked back and kept talking.
"It’s alright..you might be suffering from amnesia so your memories would slowly become more clear later on so please hang with us until then!"
Danny gave an eye-blinding smile as did Fae as they looked at Tremis who had a faked "appreciative" face on.
"No please..please don’t stop whatever you are doing just for me. I could be out here by myself.."
Danny shouted back, "No! This forest is too dangerous for one person, especially someone with no memories. So please..stay with us"
Seems like my plan is coming together..ahh I feel bad for these suckers..actually no I don't!
"Oh..alright, thank you for letting me stay with you..but do you have some clothes to spare? I feel a bit embarrassed being naked and all.."
Tremis gave a nervous smile and scratched his head as both Danny and Fae blushed remembering that he was indeed naked.
"Of course! I have some, follow us to our camp and we can give you some of my clothes."
After Danny helped Tremis up and made sure that he could stand up when Tremis realized something.
Fucking shit im tall..im like 7 foot tall or something and this guy is like 6' 4'' and she is 5' 3''.. whatever I can't complain! Tall equals sexy!
As they turned around to walk away, Tremis faked nervous smile stopped as he gave a cold glare as if killing intent could be felt from him but every time they turned back to make sure he was ok he would give them a slight smile.
They all slowly walked to the camp as Tremis was thinking of his plan.
