Chapter 0

Haa haa... no way!! no way!! Shouting as i try to breathed while running for my life brushing though the tall grass not caring where i'm heading into.

Thick trees all around me, trees after trees went passed me as i run with all my strength, trying to get away from the thing that's running after me, i can hear the sound of crashing and breaking of smaller trees from behind, and sounds of smaller animals trying to get away as far as possible from me and the thing that's chasing after me.

Grrrsssss... I can hear its snakelike growl like it cant wait to get its fangs on me, i can almost feel it breathing behind my back, i know I'm probably just imagining it, but i swear i can feel and smell the stench of its breath.

I'm trying the best i could not to throw up when running with all my strength, i can hear it coming closer and closer from my back,

I can even picture the damn thing licking its lips. While thinking on ways on how to devour me,

And believe me its not a pleasant feeling.

I kept on running as adrenaline starts to kick in, jumping over the fallen tree stumbling over the forest floor, got bruised all over my legs and arms from tripping all over, it's not like I'm running on flat even ground.

In the forest floor all kinds of things littered the floor, rocks and fallen tree even small animals, my knees are bleeding from scraping in the rock protruding on the ground, i also tripped on a vine while trying to jump over it...

Blood from my knees are dripping and flying all over the place as i passed.

I know that blood can attract monsters or wild animals but there nothing i can do about it, as i was already being chase by this monstrous thing, i know its gigantic just from sounds of its paws touching the ground i can hear its paws digging deep into the forest floor while running after me.

Haa..haa ouch! got a cut on my cheeks from hitting the branch extending from the plants, and its not the first cuts i've got, i have cuts from all over my face my arms and legs from running through this thick forest...

But i payed no attention to it at all, all i care about is how to get away from this monster as fast as possible, i also know just a slight delay and a little mistake, and it's game over, and i'll be monster chow. howling of monsters can be heard from all over the forest, but i ignore that as well, and just focus on getting away from the monster thats been relentlessly chasing after me...

As i was running, i was thinking on how the hell i've ended up in this mess up situation.

When just moments ago i was enjoying myself in eating delicious fruit i found in the forest, and the next thing i knew i was running for my life, it's so mess up.

And the funniest thing is that i dont even know what's chasing after me, coz the moment i heard the growling and breathing of something heading toward me i bolted and started running!

And when i look back, this black thing is chasing after me...

So I started cursing in my mind on what kind of rotten luck i have, darn it darn it! spitting the word, while i run without looking back.

As my mind wondered for a bit i made a big mistake and made the wrong turn somewhere....

No way im dead, im telling you im dead.

Coz i just realized the place i'm heading into is a dead end cliff and right before the cliff a giant creature is sleeping...

I was probably about 100 meters away from it, and to my right a cliffs wall, on my left an endless swamp that's probably infested with all manner of disgusting creatures,

But i think the main monster i can see on the swamp is a crocodile like monster except each and every one is at-least 10 to 20+ meters long, this kind of monsters is equipped with sharp spike like scales, and two sword like horns protruding from it head, and on the center of its forehead a big eye twice as big as its normal eyes, how can i tell? coz one of them is looking straight at me probable thinking if he should join the hunt for a fresh and unluckily human.

good thing it didn't...

Back to the problem at hand, an unknown black monster is chasing after me, and the only reason it hasn't catched up to me yet is b'coz theres quite a lot of big and giant trees sticking close to other one after another, and that's the only thing that prevents it from having me as its meal..

B'coz of those trees blocking its way it has no choice but to maneuver its way around the trees to get to me, the good thing is that the trees are quite wide, some are as wide as a house so most of the time it's been delayed, and was falling behind.

But b'coz of its size and speed it can quickly catch up to me only to find another tree is blocking its way.

I thought it will give up after sometime, but to my surprise its getting more and more exited from chasing me.

Maybe it's been looking for something to play with all along or maybe it's just simply bored and looking for some entertainment, and i just so happen to come along...

Cursing! as continue to run, just my luck! of all the monster to encounter I've got a bored or maybe a perverted one who like to play with its meal... darn it...

I was running a good 20mins or so and the distance between us hasn't change much, or maybe it's getting closer..

But i notice that although I'm breathing hard from running all over the forest I'm not tired nor there's any fatigue at all in fact for some reason i feel like my whole body is full of energy, and did i mention, I'm not fond of exercise, exercise is for the weak! as i use to say to all those who try to invite me to go to gym.

But seriously what's wrong with my body did i eat some super power mushroom or something or get a shining star (ref. Mario brothers). Without me knowing?

Well ill put that issue on hold for now, as i have a gigantic black thing chasing after me thats far more important than any issue regarding the changes in my body, and in fact just in front of me is another problem that can be far worse than the thing that's been chasing me,

for i can already if not vaguely see the partial body of the monster in front of me, if not for some of the trees and plants or tall grass barring my view, i can already see what it really look like, but frankly i don't want to see, much less meet it, but i have no choice but to continue moving towards it praying some miracle to happen..

50 meters until i reach the sleeping monster, and from what i see it look like a behemoth, if you're not familiar with the name imagine a 6 meter tall muscular bulldog and instead of skin it has scales similar to dragon, 5 meters wide and has a very sharp claws, and on its back ten two meter tall spikes protruding on its back like external spine, and add to that a thin like tail that look like a serpent body specifically made to use as a whip, and on the end of its tail a trident like spear thats dripping with bluish liquid, and every time it drips on the grass it withered and turn to ash, so yeah it has poison, the behemoth's length is around 20 to 30 meters long..

How can i tell? well it's looking right at me, and it notice me the moment i enter the 30 meters marks.

The behemoth is standing up on all four and looking very angry for ruining its rest, and at the same time silently watching and maybe thinking on who dares to disturb its rest.

What am i going to do next? I kept thinking...

But i didn't stop running! I kept on running coz i can almost feel the monster behind me, in fact it's growl has become more louder as it kept getting closer.

20 meters..

15 meters..

10 meters..

I can now see the full view of the monster in front of me, it's a behemoth! And i can see it in all its glory..

It has deep blue color and a dragon like scales, it looks majestic up close, but scary as hell.

I kept on running towards it, Crazy? I know! But i have choice though, in fact i went in faster.

I run straight for the behemoth, and if someone else see me, they'll think i'm a crazy person, or a suicide bomber or something.

well i have to admit it's a little crazy to go straight for the behemoth but on my defense its was all part of plan or gamble or whatever you want to call it, and besides i have very little choice at the moment, for me it's like choosing which belly ill end up being digested.

And so i decided to make a gamble and go for broke, and went straight for the behemoth, why?

Well for one it's not looking at me but rather to the one that's been chasing after me.

And second, if that fails and i made the a mistake all i have to do is just jump off the cliff..

Thats assuming i didn't get eaten first before i reach the cliff...

How i know ill be safe if i jump off the cliff?

Well coz for awhile now i can hear a river at the end of the cliff so i figured my chances of survival is a lot higher than staying here with these two monsters.

as i got closer to the behemoth, it is also getting ready for battle by entering a crouching battle stance, as i get closer and closer i kept my eyes on it but it didn't even look at me even not a glance...

9 meters.. 8 meters... And finally 5 meters!

The moment i reached the five meter mark the behemoth suddenly jump straight at me Ahhhhhhhh i shouted!................ I'm dead....

Or not, it went past over me and went straight for the monster thats been chasing me, it attack mouth open, i can see the long sharp fang flashing in the moonlight, and its claws glinting and ready to strike on the monster thats been chasing me all over the forest...

I slide back the exact same time the behemoth attack the thing that's been chasing me, i almost end up falling off to the cliff ahead of me, as i look down i can see the raging river running a good 50 to 60 meter below the cliff, so i turn back for the first time since i started running from that thing that's been chasing, now i can see what it really look like, it has jet black snake like scales, with a red like tribal design running through its whole body,

it's like a cross breed between a panther and a black mamba snake, the body is like a panther but its head is like A snake the whole body is covered with a snake like scales so pretty like a gem glinting under the moonlight, a serpent like fork tongue hissing and growling at same time,

eyes jet black, two sharp fangs dripping with black poison liquid that's been dripping from its sharp fang, it has four front legs instead of two and most of all it's twice as big as the behemoth....

They are fighting in rage like manner, loud hiss like growl can be heard as they pounce at each other, clawing biting at each other and every time they move the earth shook like two truck hitting each other on a head on collision, is very loud!

and even though the behemoth is losing in size and strength, its more than make up for it with speed and technique.

anyone can tell that both monster is very good at fighting, but the think behemoth has more chances in winning, why? Well it has variety of weapons, under its arsenal its greatest weapon is its tail, yes its tail, its tail is capable of attacking in high speed like a whip.

And this whip is slashing at the panther/snake monster at ultra high speed exceeding the speed of sound, you hear a whistle like sound every time the behemoth tail is use, and afterwards a sonic booms follows.

it can be heard one after another every time the behemoth use its spear like tail it stab and slash at the panther, one look and you can tell the two monsters fighting in front if me is not your average monster living in this part of the forest... As i was watching the two super monster in front of me my mind has started to wonder on the first time i awoke from this unknown world....
