《Devoid of Luck》Chapter 02 - Shit, Where am I?

Advertisement

I still have a slight conflict in how should I handle the traveling part of the story... I'm releasing this chapter quite early because I don't want any misunderstanding about the MC after the white-space chapter. He will suffer.

---

The stench was so terrible that I wanted to just cut my nose off without thinking about any of the consequences and all to simply stop myself from smelling this horrible stench. I quickly stood up and then opened my eyes to see what was causing it.

“Holy mountains of shit.”

No better words could describe what was around me. There were animal feces everywhere!

Well at least that's what I think it is… It stretched around 100 meters into every direction.

I was right in the middle of this shit-hole, literally. Thankfully, after the “muddy” area there was something that seemed like a huge grassland that went as far as my eyes could see.

Circling this shit-hole, there was a simple red fence with a single gate which looked like the only exit from this place. Looking at my shit covered self, I could see I’m still wearing the same clothes that I had on me before I blacked out. At least the stench won’t stick to my skin...

I walked towards the gate, hoping that there won’t be any surprises in the “mud”,

almost slipping quite a few times, but thanks to the grip of the boots it seems I won’t suffer this fate any time soon. The boots were really helpful, people should really appreciate the invention of boots. After a minute of careful walking I have finally reached the gate.

“Just one more step and I’m safe.”

Stretching my hand towards the gate’s handle I lose my balance, I immediately try to regain it but without any avail. My face plunges into what I desperately want to be simple mud, but I know it isn’t.

*Splash*

Now I’m covered in shit both from behind and in the front. I really hope something kills me right now. Standing up with the help of the fence, I reach towards the gate’s handle again, this time holding myself with my other hand. Thankfully, the gate is not locked and it opens easily.

Taking my final step I’m finally out!

“Finally, I’m out! Who the hell placed this huge shit-hole in the middle of nowhere!?”

The smell was killing me, I should find some water and clean myself as soon as possible.

If there is no water around, I might as well just actually do what I wanted to do about my nose.

“I wonder if the power from the white-space still works around here…”

“I wish I’d have a few bathtubs full of warm rose scented water”

In front of my eyes a piece of paper appeared! But didn’t I ask for bathtubs?

The language seemed familiar, so I started reading it.

Hello Traveler!

I don’t know how you got here, but you’re welcome to stay.

You smell like shit though, so please clean yourself if you do.

Oh, and please make sure you don’t light a fire around this area.

We don’t want everything to go *bang*, do we?

Have fun and enjoy my humble gift!

From God.

With a pale face I kept reading the note over and over again.

“Where the hell am I?!”

In front of me appeared a weird wooden container, it was around 3 meters tall and 4 meters wide, it had four windows, one on each side, and a small door which means I could probably enter it. Stepping inside I saw a large wooden bathtub, overflowing with water that disappeared as soon as it hit the floor, probably some sort of a self cleaning mechanism.

It seemed as if the water supply was endless. The water smelled really good and so without any consideration and further exploration, I took of everything I had on me off and jumped inside.

“Perfect! Warm clean water that smells good was just what I needed!”

Sitting in the tub, looking around I see a small wooden chair underneath one of the windows, on it were exactly the same boots as mine, underneath the boots there was something that looked like folded clothes which were probably too exactly the same as mine. Near the boots there was a small leather pouch around 10cm in height, it looked full and behind it was a metal canteen.

“Probably coins and water…”

I was in the tub for around an hour by now. I should be getting out soon. I splashed my face with water for the last time and stood up. Suddenly I felt something disappearing.

Again, I was naked in the open world. The wooden box just vaporized with my old stuff, leaving only the wooden chair with a replica of my stuff, the pouch and the canteen on it.

“Oh well. At least I now I’m clean and smell good…”

I immediately step towards the chair and bent over in order to pick up the clothes from it.

“Dude! What the hell?! Cover yourself up!”, Hearing someone shout, I immediately turned around only to find a huge bulky man standing on a nearby hill.

“Oh shit.”

Embarrassed and blushing I hurry up and dress myself, then the man starts walking towards me. Not knowing how to react, I quickly hooked the pouch and canteen to my belt and started walking in his direction too.

“Don’t worry man, I won’t tell anyone you did what you did here so hurry up and leave, you’re trespassing in my farm…”

I think there is a slight misunderstanding between the two of us…
