《Another World's Trespasser》Chapter 2: Nightmare
Advertisement
5 hours had passed since I stumbled upon that game-like development.
I continued hunting and dismantled all the parts that can be used from each remains.
There are two variants of monsters that I’ve encountered so far. One is the warrior type pig monster and the other is an archer type pig monster capable of long range attacks.
“Well I can at least handle all of them, using hit and run tactics.”
Every time I successfully kill a single monster, those annoying windows keeps popping out of nowhere. And after reaching level 6, the kill count needed for levelling up increased as well.
It’s pretty much the same as those MMORPGS that I’ve played back in my world. Every time you reach a higher level, the amount of XP needed to fill the XP bar also increases. Making it much more difficult to attain the next level.
After obtaining my 20th kill, I decided to change my priority on finding a nearby water reservoir.
I delved in deeper through the forest and collected herbs along the way.
10 feet tall gigantic ferns, carnivorous plants that fed on medium sized animals, flowers with glow in the dark petals, and all kinds of bizarre looking plants inhabited the grounds of this enchanting forest.
Soon, after walking for half an hour. I eventually found a lake in the middle of the forest.
Critters similar to rabbits, deers and squirrels peacefully drank water from the lake, a typical scene of nature that I subconsciously floated a relaxed smile in front of my face.
I then came back to my senses after being entranced by the scenery and collected a small amount of water for analysis.
All of my objectives today have been completed so I think it’s safe to call it a day.

*Growl*
After returning back home all in one piece, my tummy produced a growling sound that reminded of the sensation of hunger.
I sluggishly walked into the makeshift kitchen that I previously set up, and started to cook the ingredients obtained from my journey.
Cooking isn’t really my thing, but if the need arises, I think I can cook up a decent meal or two.
*Ding!*
You have successfully created Orcish stew!
“Eh… Orc?”
It’ll be a waste of ammo if I used the tranquilizer gun on hunting harmless animals so the only meat that I’ve collected was from the pig monster carcasses.
But why haven’t I thought of that? Pig faced + Muscular body = Orc ……
Well enough of that, It must’ve been because of hunger that my mind ceased in functioning properly.
And From now on, I’m changing the name from pig faced bastards to Orcs OK!
After having my fill of homemade goodness, which was unexpectedly delicious, I proceeded to my room and decided to hit the sack.
************************************************************************************
*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*
*RRrrOOooAAaarrRR!*
“Ughh, what now??”
Sounds of endless banging coupled with loud roars reverberated throughout the night as I’m trying to get some sleep.
I hurriedly climbed through the familiar stairs and soon arrived at the rooftop of the warehouse. It’s currently the middle of the day as the sun rests high above the vast blue sky. And in order to find out what was happening outside, I slowly walked to the edge and took a peek at the surrounding area.
There I saw about a thousand of orcs, trying to destroy the warehouse using gigantic maces and clubs.
It must’ve been one of those orcish scouts that I previously encountered. Informing other comrades and decided to annihilate the newly found threat which was undoubtedly me…

My drowsiness immediately vanished as I realized the current situation. Then I muttered:
“The foundation won’t last long if this keeps up!”
Defeating a thousand of them would be impossible! After all, the only weapon that I possess right now is the tranquilizer gun.
I’ve got think! Think of something that can be used to live through this nightmare! Something that can wipe them out! Aaaaah!
My mind was being consumed by fear as I desperately tried to find a way out of this mess.
The slight shaking that can be felt a minute ago, began to intensify after I repeatedly lost my balance. And then I remembered:
The most out of place ….
Giant Tesla Coil …..
That’s right! The concept of using Tesla coils as defensive structures was pretty common in games. It’s a long shot but there’s no harm in trying right?
Thankfully, the backup fusion reactor, which was used for emergencies, located inside the warehouse was left unscathed after the teleportation. So I immediately connected the power cable to the receptacle situated at the back of the machine.
*BBbzZzz*
The tesla coil started to emit a buzzing sound as I hurriedly returned back inside.
*Zap* *Zap* *Zap*
Endless torrents of lightning poured onto the surrounding monsters, producing burned corpses with each zapping sound that can be easily heard from my room.
My body felt so heavy as I lied on top of my bed. Not even bothering about what was happening outside, I slowly closed my eyes and eventually entered into deep slumber.
*Ding* *Ding* *Ding* *Ding*
“Ughh ….. Not again!?”
Yet again, my sleep was interrupted by the sounds made by those annoying windows. I rubbed my eyes and waited for my eyes to adjust from the light emitted by the window.
Congratulations you have reached level 50!
An amazed expression appeared on my face after rereading the contents of the message again and again.
I immediately got up from my bed and decided to inspect the aftermath of the incident.
Dead silence enveloped the whole surroundings as I carefully opened the front door.
The awful stench of burned corpses entered my nostrils which made me cover my nose with both hands.
Every one of them, burned into a crisp, leaving mountains of corpses that emitted smoke that eventually fused with the morning fog, creating a thick layer of smog around the premises of the warehouse.
I started in disposing of the bodies using a miniaturized backhoe, which is one of the many inventions inside the warehouse, and the day quickly passed by after finishing the monotonous work of burying each one of them.
Afterward, I decided to test out the changes in my body after reaching level 50. But the only things that changed was that my body feels a lot lighter and I could run for 30 minutes straight without breaking a sweat.
No super human strength! No ESP powers! No shooting laser beams from my eyes! Nothing!
To take my mind of those things, I set out and started hunting monsters. But to my surprise, I can’t find a single one of them even after combing through the whole forest. The monster population in this region dwindled by a large sum because of my idea being too effective.
“Ha! Ha! Ha! Haaa! That’s what they get after picking a fight with the almighty me!”
I let out a maniacal laughter that resounded through the forest, thinking that I’m currently at the top of the food chain.
