The Forest Chapter 1
Advertisement
A seemingly endless forest stood with towering trees and various monsters inhabiting, living off each other through the law of the jungle. Within the forest suddenly, a massive school which could hold thousands of students and faculty appeared in a random part of the jungle.
Within the school a classroom which didn’t stand out at all held about 20 students, there laid drake. He was about 5’8 feet tall with brown hair and brown eyes with a neither fat not skinny constitution. Drake was on the floor with blood flowing down his face from a cut on his head where it seems he got when the school appeared in the jungle.
“Ah, Damn this shit hurts, Rebecca.” Drake called out as he touched his wound on his head trying to assess the situation of the wound and what had happened. The woman that he called Rebecca didn’t seem to hear him as she looked out the window with her eyes glazed over with shock and fear.
Seeing that his previous call wasn’t effective Drake decided to get up and try to help himself, Drake new that within the teacher’s desk lied a medical pack which he can use to patch himself up, in fact all classrooms had one. When Drake walked past the students who are regaining consciences he glanced over to the windows where Rebecca stood looking out.
“What the fuck” Drake said softly and slowly as he came to a complete stop and looked out the window with a complicated expression. Outside the window lie a forest but that’s not the whole problem, the problem is that some people who belonged to the school were outside dead with green childlike creatures bashing in their brains with poorly designed clubs and knives.
Some of the green creatures finished killing and salvaging whatever they can from their bodies, like their backpacks or some of the hungry ones couldn’t wait to eat later and just started to feast on the bodies that lay there. Even more ganged up on some of the ones fighting back and ate them alive or dragged some females to do what none of us want to even imagine.

When we were busy watching the creatures, they got into the building apparently as there came blood curling screams which made all of us shiver. Snapping myself out of the fear and confusion I rushed over the students who either laid on the floor or some huddled up shaking and crying. I ran to the door, the only door which gives access to this room and we didn’t have to worry about the windows as we were on the 3rd floor out of 5 floors. Those small creatures wouldn’t be able to make up here and I was confused that nobody on any of the floors before us could put up a fight or delay them at all because they got here almost immediately.
Once I shut the door I locked it not knowing if they know how to work the door but not going to test my luck against it either. So, with the door locked I looked at my fellow students some I’m friends with as we talked during this year in chemistry class.
” Ok look, there are killer green small creatures who are coming to kill us and violate you. We need to stand together and fight them, any ideas?” I said to everyone huddled up crying and shaking with each blood curling scream or scratching sound which reverberated through the halls whenever their knives hit a metal surface.
As I finished giving my speech a couple of the guys in my class stood up and walked to me. Ben was the biggest of them a black 6-foot 3 man with muscles all over his body as he played for the school’s football team, I knew him because I played for the baseball team and I saw him at a couple of parties. His two friends where Carl a white 5-foot 10 man who also played football and Lee an Asian who stood at 6 feet 2.

Ben walked up to me and looked at me with a certain look in his eyes as he said, “I think I have an idea, but it’s going to be hard and I don’t know who would do it”.
“What’s the idea”? I asked with my eyes filling with questions as even though he was a jerk sometimes he usually was a good person.
“You see I watch anime and I know what those creatures are” Ben said as gasps from fellow students resounded and questions were about to fly out but before that he continued. “These creatures are Goblins and they are usually the weakest creatures in any fantasy world but from what I seen from the window I pray that’s wrong because just one is enough to take out an average adult”. Ben said this as he looked despondent at the chances of surviving this.
“So, I think we need to send someone, the fastest person out there to assess the situation and see what’s exactly happening and if possible lead back just one of those creatures so we can ambush it and make it talk and get some information”. Everyone in the classroom looked at me including Rebecca who no longer looked at the window in shock.
“Yeah, I thought him to as he’s one of the fastest guys in the school as fast as those track and field, but he’s injured, and we can’t send him out like that and I can’t go because I’m a linebacker I’m big not fast”. He said while looking at me nodding as if saying I got you bro, don’t worry.
“Does anybody volunteer, we really need this please and don’t worry I observed them a little they are not that fast even though you can’t out run them they can’t get you if you run full speed and not to mention we know this school, we know the shortcuts and ways to run away.” Despite his comforting words nobody stood up to volunteer, so an awkward pause and silence overtook the classroom before another blood curling scream broke the silence making everyone shake. The screams are moving closer and closer to this classroom.
“Fine, ill go. Just stay here and have the door ready for me just in case I need help”. Ben said as his hulking body moved to the door but before he got there to open the door and leave I stepped in his way and patted his shoulders as I gave him a look and a smile instead. “Don’t steal my heroics and my image of a hero so you can steal the hearts of these girls”. I joked half heartily as I stopped him from taking another step and pushed him back lightly with the same I got you bro look her gave me. Before he can say anything of protest I unlocked the door a sprinted out while shutting it behind me.
The wound on my head stopped bleeding but the sight of the gash on my head was barely covered by my hair which flowed like water on my head. I pulled off my shirt showing an average body with some fat on me, I put the shirt on my head wrapping it around my wound looking like I have a traditional wrap on my head. I tied it tightly as I walked closer to the sounds.

Chronicles of Xod (returning from hiatus)
After a long recovery over a chronic motion sickness issue, I feel I'm ready to return to writing this book. It might be slow at first, but I'm hoping to pick up where I left off. I apologize again for the long hiatus. The pages following are a true account. An account of how I, Josh--a teenage nerd from modern suburbia--ended up in a strange world filled with fantastic magic, bizarre creatures, and terrifying dungeons. Despite the troped-up fantasy feel of the world, this is hardly an ordinary tale. For one, don’t expect a happy ending. With the trials I’ve been through, the horrors I’ve seen and the atrocities I’ve committed, believe me when I tell you, this is not a happy tale filled with friendly rainbow bears or teenage flying unicorns. It’s more likely you’ll finish this book mentally scarred as I will not spare the details of my unfortunate adventures. With the help of my trusted companion Gui, I gain an insight that no one else in the world has. This knowledge allows me to exploit and, for lack of a better term, metagame the system which gave me a clear advantage over its residents. “With great power...,” someone might begin to quote to me. In my defense, I think maybe even you, reader, might have acted similarly with how this reality changed my view of good and evil. This story will be updated regularly on Wednesdays around 6 PM. There will only be about 1000 words per update. The focus is to finish the story before doing any major changes or editing. Please read as if this is a work in progress, not a finished product. Feel free to let me know if you see any error, whether glaring or minor. If you help me out, I'll be sure to add you to a thank you list at the front of the book when it is published. Chronicles of Xod is a first-person fantasy novel that follows the adventures of a young man from Earth. Through unknown circumstances, he finds himself in a fantasy world where life is not all wonders and happy endings. The story takes common fantasy concepts from my favorite video games, books and movies and gives them an adult edge. It also introduces some taboo concepts often glossed over by stories written for broad audiences. The style is meant to be immersive and heavily detailed. The short novel will be written in a way that attempts to bring a sense of realism to an unrealistic genre. Where there are realistic consequences and dangers in a world populated with violent monsters, cruel demons, bloodthirsty undead, and immoral bandits. In this fantasy world, the inhabitants are essentially gender blind as far as sexuality is concerned. There is also more variation amongst male and female physiology. This isn't meant to be any kind of promotion or demotion of social behavior in reality. Just a concept I thought would be an interesting idea to have in a fantasy setting. I highly discourage anyone from reading this material if you are personally concerned with being offended or traumatized. Both violent and sexual content will be graphically detailed. All characters involved in sexual scenes are mature and of the age of consent(18+).
