《The power of an author》Surviving in the wastelands! - chapter 4
Advertisement
I was teleported in the middle of a deserted place!
[ ... ] ( Hiro )
So it was true! I am in another world!!
I was teleported into another world together with my classmates.
...
But I was disposed of in the wastelands!
Why did this happen?
Did I do something bad and now Karma is getting me back?
No!
I clenched my fist with all of my strength.
It's real! I'm not dreaming! I can feel pain in my hands from the grip!
I want to go home! I don't want to be here!
I started walking around.
There was nothing I could see in the distance!
Only Sand!... Sand...more sand....even more sand!!
Everywhere I looked, there was sand!
Will I survive? Am I going to die from starvation?!
Is this the end for me?
How did this happen?
I was in my classroom, sleeping while listening to my friends who were having fun and then...?
Where is everybody?
It's becoming hot!
I'm also getting thirsty!
How long have I been walking?
I need help!
My thoughts kept wandering around my head as I desperately kept walking, trying to find something!
I didn't care what it was, I wanted something I could eat or drink!
Can humans survive by eating sand?
Maybe if I try it, I can eat it!
I picked up some sand on my hand.
It was really hot! My hand was burning from the high temperature of the sand!
But I didn't care! I wanted to eat it!
[ Pffttttt ] ( Hiro )
I spat it out the moment it touched my tongue!
It was disgusting, super salty, and gross!
It was impossible to eat, and now my tongue was burnt from the hot sand!
What was I thinking?!
Why did I try to eat sand?

Sand can actually harm humans if they swallow it!
But what should I do?
I don't know how long I have been walking!
It must have been around two hours.
I don't know if time here is the same as on earth.
The sun was at the top of my head and its light was coming straight down in my body!
My body was burning from the sun's light!
I didn't know how long I was going to survive here,
There was nothing I could use here!
Even if I try to sit down and rest, I couldn't!
My body would get burned from the sand!
I already have lost my senses on my feet!
Even though I was walking, I couldn't feel them anymore!
I couldn't even take a rest because my feet would get sucked in the sand!
I hated this!
I wanted to survive!!
But what came later were things that I regretted saying earlier about the hot weather!
The weather in this place was unstable!
During the night, it became really cold!
I still didn't stop walking because I knew that my body would freeze to death!
I had to keep my body moving so I would warm up somehow!
Even though I was getting sleepy, I didn't stop!
I kept walking without resting!
For how long will this go on?
Am I going to die anytime soon?
No! I'm scared!
I'm lonely!
No one is near me!
I was abandoned! Disposed!
No one wanted me!
It hurts! My whole body hurts!
I'm hungry! Thirsty!
I want to sleep! I want to lie down and take a rest just for a bit!
Just for a bit is fine right?!
I can just lie down!!
Maybe if I sleep here, I will wake up in my room where I write my novels!

That's right, this is a dream, my actual body has fainted from overworking myself on my novels!
As I was about to lie down, I slapped myself really hard!
*Slap!*
What was I thinking!?
I will die if I lie down now!!
I can't let that happen!!?
I don't want to die!!
My whole body hurts!
My eyes, legs, arms, my back!!
It hurts!!
...
That's right, I have read a lot of stories where the main character gets transported into another world!
What would the main character do in this kind of situation?
He gets transported to another world as a hero, defeats his enemies, and enjoys his peaceful life with everyone!
There was no way for the hero to be treated like this!
But for me?
It was different!
They got rid of me! They didn't need me!
There is no way for someone to survive in this kind of situation!
Is my only option to die in this place?
Won't I be able to go back home?
My dream was to become a popular author!
But no matter how many times I wrote something, it was never getting enough attention!
Was it because I lack talent?
I don't know...
Is this happening to me because I tried too hard?
I don't know...
I don't know anything!
As I kept walking without a destination, I noticed the sun which was rising on the horizon!
It wasn't anything special or beautiful...
It just felt empty for a place like this!
I walked in that direction while holding my stomach from the pain.
I felt something bumping on my feet as I was trying to walk.
I looked down...
It was a human skeleton...
I wasn't scared...
Was this guy disposed of just like me?
It seems like he didn't make it...
I hope he didn't have a painful death...
...
The sun was out once again!
It was the second day ever since I was disposed of in this place!
I don't know how long I have been walking but there was one thing I knew...
I had to survive no matter what!
I didn't want to die in a place like this!
If I had the chance to choose how I die... I'd choose in a cool way!
But this... is just painful!
I still had hopes that at any moment I would find something or at least someone that would help me.
But the more time passed, the more I started realizing that no one was going to help me, nor will I find anything to survive!
This was the wastelands!

8 150Defenders of Fantasmyth
DROPPED: this story is unfinished and will likely remain that way. If you are looking for quality work that is still being updated, you're better off checking out my fanfiction. No, really. That wasn't a joke. Jakyra, a young-adult coairse* dragon with an affinity for wordplay and skill in fighting, is a pest to her government the Dragon Crown. This odd relationship leads her to make contact with a long-lost magical, draconic construct of great renown called Ismat, leading up to a string of bizarre, humorous, and troublesome events. Chance brings together the impulsive dragon, her quiet, resolute elven friend Sauda, amiable, honor-seeking dwarf Gunnar, and the construct Ismat. The Omniguards, Defenders of Fantasmyth, are born. *No, that is not a typo.

Can he ascend to the top and establish a new era of cultivation? I am a one man show, I do all this with the spare time I have. These are edited but not properly edited and I am aware of this. I will slowly go back from time to time and re edit and rephrase/word on earlier chapters when I am able to. I will make future announcments in the authors notes when I have done so. But I do not think as they are now it should hinder the experience of the novel that much. Thanks for your understanding and do hope you enjoy the Story. I do not own the picture used in the cover art, Found it online and thought it looked nice. Just temporary till i can find another. I am bad with genres, If you feel it should be different please let me know I do not have a set time for releases, as of now I write when I have the spare time. So sometimes I release 1 to 3 a week or it could be once every other week.
