《Undiminished》Meet the family
Advertisement
So here I am lost, alone, and basically invisible to any human being, while still somehow able to be interacted with by the local wildlife and monsters. I'm also in the middle of an encampment which is currently in the middle of freaking out over what in the hell is coming towards them. Now you may be asking why should this even bother you? Well just because I don't stay dead doesn't mean I don't feel pain, death hurts even in a situation where death should be instant. You see death can never happen fast enough to be painless which I'm guessing is part of this whole power-based thing. I'm pretty much guaranteed at least a full thirty seconds of the most excruciating pain imaginable every time I "die" so I very much would like to avoid dying as much as possible.
When I see these people freaking out it's my cue to be prepared for anything at this point, including finding the best possible means of escape. While I'm standing here thinking and believing I've done a good job about how fast my escape plan is coming together, I come to realize everyone who was surrounding me have already fled and left me standing by myself like an idiot. It was at this point I'm screwed and prepare myself to die as I'm sure nothing but death awaits me. Thinking about what could terrorize a group of people so much that they flee as if their lives depend on it while ignoring a large portion of the supplies they have gathered, leads me to believe it has to be some terrifying monster or weird-ass wildlife.
I'm obliviously not firing on all cylinders any more and I admit it could have been a lot of other things that could cause people to run away but having just been dropped to death not long ago by a creature straight out of a Cthulhu based nightmare. Well, fuck me I really shouldn't have written, spoke, or even thought that name because in this brave new world anything and everything seems possible and I would rather not see that one become a reality. And, here we go again with me getting off track even in the middle of a situation that should be getting my full attention but alas you'll have to forgive my scatter-brained self. Where was I? Ah yes standing around like a jackass doing nothing which seems to be my go-to move when I do anything.
It's as good of a time as any to tell you, good people, what was actually coming my way. I bet each and every one of you at this point has there own guess as to what is about to kill me this time and hell maybe even one or two of you will get it correct. I sure as hell wasn't prepared to see the most dapper and well-dressed group of people I have ever personally seen coming into view. I'm talking full-on tuxedos, top hats, golden pocket watches, beautiful hand-carved canes, and what I safely assume is also handstitched fancy schmancy shoes. Of course, the ladies in attendance were no less dressed to impress with some of the most eye-catching outfits I have ever seen.

Yeah, that sight alone was enough to blow me away with the strange. Here I am expecting something far more terrifying than a group of snooty rich people to come traipsing into view, in a list of the top one thousand things that my mind could possibly come up with this was never one of them. It also brought to question as to why everyone decided to get the fuck out as fast as possible, sure rich people can be annoying but to actually run in fear of them? That my friends is just an extremely weird reaction to have, not to mention the fact of them being able to notice them long before they came into view.
I'm not ashamed to admit I was thoroughly confused and a little freaked out at my current predicament of being surrounded by a group of wealthy people out in the middle of ass crack nowhere. Can't say I wasn't a little relieved upon what came into view because the worst thing these people could be were bandits and from my testing prior to them showing up I established I don't exist for human beings. As they get closer and closer to me I'm celebrating my good luck at not dying which may or may not have included a little dance "hey death as I have said before sucks ass" this was promptly interrupted when they proceeded to cross over the threshold of little campsite.
If everything hadn't been trying to kill me or confuse me I might have found this a very funny experience a grown man dancing on a plateau? I don't really know but I can tell you it was the only clear place in my sight and the people that were here had just started making a wall. It seemed a little redundant to me because you know we were inclosed by a field of cacti on one side, and well you know I guess I never looked at what was behind me. I'm really not doing so hot on the whole surviving thing, am I?
Welp, that's real life for you I suppose video games, movies, tv shows, and even books make it seem like you just go boom and surviving is the easiest thing to do in the whole world. I would like to formally say fuck you media for the false sense of security you have instilled into the general populace. Erm, off-topic again, anywho as this new group of people are entering this little campsite during my celebration, everything seems to come to stand still when they calmly ask me what I'm doing and if I am surrendering. Are you as confused as me? Good because that means I'm not as stupid as I thought.

Before I even get a chance to comprehend the question all dialog options are taken off the table when one of the well-dressed people walks up to me and bites my throat out. As the blood is gushing out of me and the pain is starting to take me I can hear the group of people complaining. Apparently I was supposed to be given the option to surrender and become a breeder to produce more cattle as they were running out of food and didn't need any more mouths to feed. I got to watch myself be eaten and head caved in while a group of intelligent people eaters talked about making humans into breeders, cattle, or immediate rations.
The "good" option out of the choices still ended with being forced to produce children that would become their food source. If you ask me ain't nothing good about that choice but hey I guess it really doesn't matter seeing as I died finally and was in the process of being respawned. I'm sure by now if you come from a world with zombies you're all screaming how can they be smart enough to dress fabulously let alone start cattle farms, my answer to that is fuck if I know. I couldn't even smell them which is what I'm guessing tipped everyone else off as to what was on the way. Hell, they could be some kind of vampire or just a bunch of super crazy cannibals at this point in time I had no idea what I was facing.
Here let me give you a checklist of weird and crazy shit that has happened to me over the course of one day.
1. Met some jackass with an insane level of magic or technology.
2. Learned death can't even get me out of this bullshit scenario.
3. Have someone or something that can alter the world and beam messages into my head following me around.
4. Appeared in the middle of nowhere with no clue as to my location.
5. Met a magic puppy that is connected to me and just so happened to cause my death a lot.....
6. Saw a creature that needs to be cleansed with fire.
7. Found out I can't interact with normal people or what I guess are normal people.
8. Realized humans are the top of the food chain.
What a fun god damned first day where I have ultimately learned nothing but that death hurts and I can be hunted by the top dogs around as a food source. I sure wish I had been giving some op bullshit power that allowed me to be invincible but nooooooooooo instead I get to die away my problems to bad the other part of my ability hasn't activated on any of my deaths. Today sucked and I'm fairly certain this is only the first of many days to come that aren't going to end up with me having a good time. I'm not in the least bit eager to find out how the other part of my ability works either, even if it promises to increase my power.
This has left me depressed and writing this is supposed to make me feel better, not worse but oh well guess you have to face reality sometime and it might as well be in a safish location. I sure hope this isn't going to be ignored just because I said my planet is no more. I assure you just because my planet is gone doesn't mean you won't find another in a situation like this one. I'm writing these to help others and at the same time myself and when I reach a good stopping point I'll leave this notebook behind for someone else to find. And with that, I'm signing off on this chapter and even tho this isn't going to be the end of the notebook I'm still going to say.
Goodbye and Good Luck Travelers.
