They are so fast, I suppose they are afraid of something is there any higher level monster here?

" What! Why don't I get a reward?"

" you are already quite lucky to be alive"

" But this is this, that is that"

" Anyway, I am out of here"

" First, I need to cut its damn stomach"

Its whole stomach can be considered to be a body, Its heart, liver, kidney is in it, seeing outwardly there seems to be no change but its stomach can contract or extract according to its intention. If it not were for the specially made arrows there was not a single method that it can be killed.

It is only imaginative someone can survive in its stomach, the truth is the second any foreign object goes down its mouth they are attacked by acids corrosive enough to dissolve steel, if not for a miracle, I cannot survive for seconds.

Slashing it's stomach for five minutes, gave me the opening.

" That is easy"

" Don't Dose off, run now"

" Yess"

" lets see what are the chance I am going to die?"

" If I follow the old path I will die either by meeting the ex- fellow men or by the snakes itself"

" All I need is to not follow the old path"

" If I turn around and go to level 3 region there is some chance that I could survive"

" If I stay here,there is chance I will be killed, by the approaching monsters"

" I should use something that mismatches the sense of smell, It has some risk but not enough to take the opportunity"

I searched through the lake to find some faeces. I couldn't bring myself to cover my body, I searched more until I find its hideout. I could even smell the fishiness, I glance around to make sure there is no one nearby;

The first sight is a pool of wobbly liquid in the middle of the cave, It is purely transparent just as the surface of the late monster. It doesn't have any odour but it seems shiny.

" It should be what I am looking for, I hope this do not do any type of damage"

'splash'

" This should be okay"

" no reaction, no worry"

'shriek'

I looked around to see 50 dark coloured monsters flying over the lake, they circled around and sniffed the air, a red one shrieked loudly taking it with 45 of them towards the armed men direction.

Five of them flew towards the cave.

"Why is this happening" I asked

"they have already noticed you"

"Five of them are enough for you"

"You are saying I am weak"

"Yes"

I couldn't refute it.

I searched my mind once again to find anything that could save myself, only to have disappointment, through the cave I could find some woods and its splinters.

" They are only outside waiting for me to go outside, that means I have enough time to rest"

The tiredness of the journey, the thrill of the fight, the adrenaline rush on the journey to the death, the miracle situation before death , the life saving straw which I caught desperately, the fight of the monster, the finding of the cave have already drawn me out, The unsafe area and the fear before death have already made me restless enough, the final monsters shriek has made me want to sleep.

And I will sleep right here.

The Fishy smell, the shrieking of the bats, the stillness in the lake made a funeral scene.

" Wake up, its already Morning"

" Ah, those lucky days sleeping in my cosy bed, I miss it. The morning rays brought with it a new energy for me.

I sorted all my thoughts, My brain working in full speed ignoring my gurgling stomach I asked the foremost question urging me all the time.

" Are you a devil"

" NO, What am I, You will know the right time"

" Were you the cube that hit me''

" NO"

" Then, how come I saw a phenomenon that time"

" You have a cube in your mind"

" Would it harm me"

" I wont tell you, Everything has a price, you are already in debt and you u cannot afford it"

" Okay"

I should make a plan to escape.

These monsters have fighting style instilled in them the only weakness I can think of is they might be afraid of fire.

Wait, I can make a fire though the oil contained here, the question is If I light a fire, would I burn myself?

I am taking my only choice, the chance of survival is very less, If I waited here I could survive even less, If I do not choose the fire and choose to run out I could get highly injured, a highly injured one in a jungle is equal to free food.

" I have to use a nomadic method here, I am lucky to have a sword if not I will be in a deep trouble. I collected older woods nearby and some hays, using it I started making fire.

'screech,screech'

' Damn it is not working'

' Right, I have to use more pressure downward'

After a number of trial and errors, I succeeded in making a flint, useful I n making a fire out of nothing.

With a rod of fire, I rushed out of the cave, before fear overcomes me, The monsters started screeching, it swooped down upon me, I used the stones in my hand to throw at the first figure, a moment they came to halt, and a moment for me to run back to the cave and lit the oil.

'swish, Ahh' the fire burned brightly for a second enough to burn the thin membrane of the five monsters. A hole in their webs to bring them down.

Like an ostrich protecting its head, I used the same method to save my head. I had to roll down again and again to put down the fire.

My lucky suit protected me from not having a serious burn, breaking it self apart during the process. I a naked man has to use whatever I could get to cover myself.

The suicidal action cost me five claw marks on my back, burnt injury of various sizes and lots of pain.

Aerial damage doesn't mean it is totally immobile.

I corned a single one using the fire rod a killed it off with a slash. The same fate for the rest of them.

'I guessed it right'

I know, I the great could kill it off.

Flesh=food=energy,

My eyes glued upon the monsters burnt flesh , I dreamed of chicken fry.

'don't eat it or you will suffer'

Withought heeding the warning, I did what I want to do. I didn't care of the consequences. I needed to eat something, so I ate its flesh, I needed to drink something so I drank its blood.

' Something might happen in the future, well its future, I will see upon arriving there.'

Taking a short break and reinvigorating myself I set out of the cave.

Without any equipment I find it very difficult to determine the direction, I guess the gateway is in north west direction and if I want to avoid them, I need to reroute towards western direction.

I need to cover up through crossing slime territory again. Hours of easy travel would take me a few days to cover up.

Slime Territory-

It is vastly different from my previous encounter, there is not a single slime nearby, I wondered whether I have come to the right direction.

The sounds of crow in the air is a particular distinction, I know something is happening, and I also know curiosity kills the cats, but I want to find it out.

I am moving in my own pace saving my energy. Excessive drinking of blood made me more thirsty, I need water and I could hear the sound of rushing water even though it is not audible enough.

The ground started shaking arithmetically in my opposite direction, I felt something is not right, I ran with all my might towards the source of water.

I stopped rushing when I couldn't feel the vibration. My whole body ached as I stopped; I need to run yet I know it would be foolish is I don't conserve my strength.

I used a tree trunk as a hideout and prepared for a short nap.

After half an hour-

'Have I heard something'

I immediately opened my eyes as my instinct screamed for action. A blue dot sprang upon me, I used the most fastest way in my life to deflect its attack.

A bloody print on my chest saved me from losing my neck. It positioned itself for the second attack and so did I.

I know there is only one chance to kill off the feline monster. I know there is no chance I could dodge it, I did whatever I could to protect my neck, it tried to use its jaw to cut of my hands, I used my utmost force to hold onto it, I bit its neck.

I used both my hands to further constrict it and used more force in my jaws. It used its claw to mark my cheeks, but to no avail. I held on it like a teddy bear. I used my own body force to propel myself downward, using the last blow for its life.

" What the hell, I couldn't even take nap"

"I feel,My face got more handsomeness"

" You should probably look at your arms"

" Its alright, I can deal wit h it"

Binding the wound with my clothes I moved on.

I ripped open its skin, drank its blood and ate it raw. I vomited it back and took it back. I took its skeleton and hung it on my back.

I never stopped,my back is itching, my arms hurt like hell, I know I cannot stop. The happiness of miracle and a girly voice in my mind pushed me forward.

I heard the sound of rushing water, Hearing the most beautiful voice rushed with new vigour.

On the side of the river-

'Sweetest of all'

Taking a little break,I drank the water with descipline, my eyes ran around the area.

'Voila! I found a box'

If a person gets a 100 credit note on a road, would it be called coincidence or predetermined plan?,.In the same way, I found a bright wooden box.

A pale white light shone as I opened it, opening my eyes I found a sword shaped pale white revolver in it.

I took it out, observed for its ownership, without any progress I opened up the holder to find a blood coloured bullet in it.

From the very looks of it I know it is not ordinary,

building a raft, is a skill every villager knows, i am confident, i can survive from here out.

After two days-

I left the raft to take me in the direction it wants, It took me for a distance, the water started rushing in as the force of the river increased, I could only watch the raft disintegrate slowly and slowly.Swimming is dangerous, I prayed to Goddess of fate, and swimmed with dense heart.

The water became more denser and denser I couldn't ever estimate the depths of it, I could fell some line moving along the river and I instantly thought I have to hold to it. If not I could never have another choice. In split second I decided to hold onto the line and found out it's a tree root.

After 10 minutes

I had to use much effort to leave the river.

I tried to walk, only to find two teeths to sunk in my thighs, I pulled it out, blood started gushing out like a fountain, I pressed on my wound to stop the bleeding, I couldn't walk so I crawled.

I insisted on crawling towards further distance as river is angry.
