Chapter 2 - New Journey

POV Jack

I was born as a beastman and often discriminated against, that’s why I tried to level up as an adventurer and to run away to the newly formed Beastman Kingdom.

I thought my plan was perfect but I didn’t consider powerful monsters. Before me was a 4m tall Griffion, the adventurer guild classify Griffins as A-ranked monsters.

I tried to run away after making eye contact with the Griffin. My danger senses, developed after years of adventuring, were tingling like crazy. The intimidating aura around the Griffin made me freeze for a second, I tried to turn away from the Griffin but the surroundings began to blur and pain took over my mind. I saw a blood-like fluid flowing down my arm, but the pain was all I could think of. I probably collided with a nearby tree due to the Griffin's attack. I sat, barely able to move, slowly losing my consciousness……

“Uuuuu…. !!!”

I’m alive? But where am I? The surroundings looked nothing like a forest, there’s smooth stone covering the walls and floor, maybe a house? I wondered about my surroundings for a while, but, I’m tied up? Am I going to be sold as a slave?

“Zzzzzzz…. Zzzzzzzzz…”

Using my beast ears, I heard a faint snoring above me, someone was sleeping above me? I should wake them up for an explanation.

“HEY! WAKE UP!”

“Uuuu… Eh!?”

“WAKE UP!”

“SHUT UP! I NEED MY SLEEP!”

I tried to wake up the person sleeping above me but I was told off by a soft high pitched. Suddenly, before me stood…. A divine beastman? The female looking fox beastman in front of me had long black hair, a black tail and ears, fox beastmans only have orange or brown hair colour, only divine fox beastman have ‘irregular’ coloured hair.

“My, apologies, Divine beast-sama”

I tried to apologise for waking her up, but the half-asleep divine beastman that stood before me looked around confused.

“Eh? Divine beast? Oh, maybe it’s my Medical God job.”

Medical God job? What? She’s not just merely a divine beast, but God as well? Disrupting the sleep of God will get me killed! Well, at least I didn’t die to some Griffin.

“Hey, you’re a cat beastman, correct?”

“Yes, I am.”

“Don’t you say ‘nyaa’ at the end of your sentence?”

“N-nywaaa?”

I tried imitating what God said to me, the sound was like a purring panther. The Goddess before me was visibly trying to hold in her laughter but she couldn’t hold it and burst out laughing at me, God damn it! I will get my revenge for this, and the whole divine thing was probably a lie, there's no divine aura at all!

“Anyway, I found you lying in the forest so I brought you in-”

{Rumbles}

“Oh, uh, I’ll go cook something up. Cook! Breakfast 2!”

While saying so, the Divine beastman cooked breakfast using magic!? Amazing, as expected of a Divine beastman and a God, but I don't think a Divine beastman or God require food to sustain itself.

POV Kurogami

While cooking one of the 6 breakfast options, I decided to unleash the tied beastman and introduce myself.

“My name is Kurogami, just call me Kuro with honorifics.”

“Eh!? I can’t possibly call God by a pet name, I’m called Jack, I’m merely a common adventurer.”

“Ignore the God stuff, I’m just your average beastman living in a forest.”

“But-”

“No, buts.”

“Ok.”

While trying to make him call me by my name, I noticed a new skill. Sleep levelling, gain 100 exp for every 10s of sleeping, so this is the ‘cheat’ for being transferred into another world. While checking my status, I decided to ask Jack for directions to a town.

“Hey, Jack, do you know where the nearest town is?”

“Yeah, it’s Corella which is just south of here.”

“Cool, let’s head there, are you heading there too?”

“As expected of a God, you already know that I’m headed there.”

“Just ignore the fact that I’m a ‘God Of Medicine’, just guide me there.”

“Of course, Kami-sama.”

“Tsk.”

This Jack guy is getting annoying, I can see you trying to hold in your smirk dammit! Bloody bastard trying to make fun of me, I'll have my sweet revenge on you. While thinking so, I finished off breakfast and packed up the portable base up. I headed towards Corella with the annoying Jack leading the way in front of me.
