《Living Life as a Plant in a Magical World, Quite Strange Right?》Chapter 4: That is so unfair!
Advertisement
I see you guys in the comment section and yes I'm going to wait once more because some of you bring some pretty good points on the table. Since some of you guys really hate harems for the fact that they just make girls or boys fall in love with the main character for no reason.
Well, it would be interesting to challenge that concept but for now, I will wait for feed back.

"Thank you for everything you did for me, but it seems like my life is cut short."
A boy said with his black colored suit, stained in crimson red as it leaked downwards on to the floor without stop. He laid there without anything to hold him up as his body is covered in cuts or holes that fill his body with suffering. A beautiful girl was position there with her black hair tied to form a pony tail and a white colored dress with tears streaming on her face. "W-why would you do this."
She continued to cry with died bodies surrounding them until a person walks in as he claps his hand in slow motion non-stop. This person made a devious smile as he approached the two who had seen his incoming from a mile away. The boy made one last attempt to get up, as he raised on his two feet and gotten in front of the young girl. "What the fuck do you want Auran Porina!"
The boy screamed in anger at the person who had caused all the distress in the area and with a devious smile Auran pulled out a gun. It looks like a revolver but with eight bullets instead of six, and he holds up his black long hair with his purple eyes gazing upon the boy. "Now, now you should calm down or else I will kill her."
Auran pointed towards the pony tail girl with his revolver ignoring the boy as he was getting ready to shoot. Everything seemed to stop, as the boy had only this much strength to support his legs from falling down and Auran made a smile only his dead brother can compete with. "Why are you doing this!?! We used to be best friends, with your Allison, Lamerian, me, and you hanging out together!"
The boy said as blood dropped on the floor that was already covered in blood. With really no other option, he held his ground with blood coming out of his mouth and with time he will die of lost of blood. He kept on talking as if he will get through Auran "What would your brother think of what you become?!"
Auran made a frown as memories flooded his perception but he didn't let up his stance his he said a three words. "I killed him." The boy was dumbstruck at the words he heard as Auran put both of his hands in the air. "Yes! I was the one that killed him by sending in the SWAT team on his little hide out of his to have him killed! I even did it when his teammates were out!"
Auran roared his announcement towards the boy about his decease brother with a smile on his face. "Everyone we know who died so far was no accident or by someone else, it was all by my hand!" He once again pointed the gun towards the boy "And now you're next!"
As Auran was about to shoot, the boy took out a letter and a pendant that showed a beautiful girl with black hair on a wheel chair as two other boys smiling in it. One of them made a goofy smile, while the other just made a much calmer smile but with a hand covering his head. One was much taller then both of them, which is Lamerian and the other one was his sister and Auran.

"I found this after she died, it was inside her hospital bed as she was on her death bed". The boy continued "The letter says 'Auran, thank you for everything you were done, even though I was the useless out of the three of us you still took care of me, so please forgive Lamerian for not being here. He was even studying about botany to help me get better!
I heard that he finally got the medicine to make me better, it was going to be brought in after he finally found a way to get to me without causing attention! He always sent letters homes but you always ignored them, so I read them because he cares about us as a big brother.'
This was on the same date you went missing and the same day Lamerian died." Auran started to hold his ears as he analyzed the information "S-so you telling I k-killed Lamerian and Allison for no reason?" Auran said as the boy had made a mourning look but his lost blood finally caught up to him as he lost all of his strength "Really, how did I get such a smart yet dumb friend."
The boy said before collapsing on the floor with the pony tail girl holding on to him. Auran had gone mad as he held on to his head, while, trying to reorganize his thoughts one last time. Finally, that was the end of the boy's story as he starts anew, as a goblin...
I was woken up from my nightmare as I remember that tragic day as Auran prepares to finish me off with a bullet in the head but he never did that. Whatever, that was my pass life, I don't think it will be worth holding anymore as I take a bite out of a rabbit with my sharp teeth that go along with my body.
I have proper and somewhat fancy clothing that uses quite a lot of things I hunted, such as animals hide and knits to sow on my clothes and made some sort of wolf fur clothes. When I was still in the goblin village, I created arrows and other stuff in their workshop, while I secretly took a knife and some other stuff.
All of this was done secrecy, while I prepared all my things to leave and become something stronger and live out my life freely. It was all done in 20 days because of how quickly goblins grow, but I still kinda of miss being inside the village because my sister is still there. And if I were to come back, I would be branded as a traitor to them and probably be killed for it.
Oh, yeah, I also evolve to become a hobgoblin, now I'm more powerful I gotta say from killing wolves, deer, horned bunnies, and even orcs. Really, I went quite far and found some real equipment like leather armor pieces that uses tough animal skin pieces for my shoulder and of such. I also looked in the lake nearby before and when I turned into a hobgoblin I became what I call a mirror image of my previous self with slight differences.
I have the blond hair that reaches to my neck and blue eyes, with long ears but I also have dark green skin which really makes me different from the other goblin's bright green. I wonder if that's a sign of something I thought to myself, as I picked up my pack bag and covered my face with an hoodie.
I had taken any safety measure I can to be sure I don't die, so I'm always on high alert and making sure no enemies strike me in my sleep. So, with me gaining quite a lot of strength I decided to go back to the village and watch it from afar. I just want to check on them after so long, maybe they are doing well, at least make sure if my sister hurt.

Well, at least, I finally know that feeling when Auran always cared about his sister like some sort of big siscon he is. I thought to myself, as I got on to one of the trees and climbed it as I got an overview of the village with my eyes resting on top of it. Something caught my eye but just barely as it snuck around the bushes, it had something akin to roses on it.
It moved extremely quickly and even for me I had trouble keeping track of it from here as the plant thing strikes at the main gate with a ball and vines surrounding the plant. The ball had roses and vines surrounding it and thorns that are incredibly dangerous as I watched it from afar. It killed one of the sentries within a few second as loud out cry came from the other goblin and attracted all of them to suddenly come out.
But as the goblin screamed, it died as well as the rose-like plant had already killed that plant within seconds. I looked upon the scene as I think about the type of options I have as of right now. Do I want to help the village, or should I just escape with my sister because I'm pretty sure that plant thing will kill just about everybody in there even the chief?
Saving anyone else is just outright impossible because I have to fight the rose plant and I don't know how well that is going to turn out. Let's just say that if I do win, is the village going to let me live? I wouldn't bet my ass on something as silly as that and not take any chances after what I learned from my past life.
So, here is my four-step plan on how I'm going to handle the situation, get into the village, avoid contact, grab sister, sneak out of the place. Yea, simple right? Well, I don't have time to plan out the most complicated and intricate plan okay. I thought to myself as I jumped down from the skies and landed on to the floor.
I rushed lighting fast avoiding the branches that are on the ground as I speed to run by but made sure not to make any sound. I got to the "fence" that my kind like to call but it's nothing more than a couple of piled up sticks. I broke through the branches by cutting it fast with my knife but made no sound.
I located the house where my sister, Gora was at, as I'm reminded that human girls are usually used to born goblin children. I remember this because I don't have any parents at home in my younger goblin days, while my dad was probably killed in some sort of hunt.
I hated my younger days because I felt absolutely useless with no power at all, as I gone into my sister's home which is a crummy mud house with nothing inside of it. I walked in slowly, as my sister was wide awake and looking around in fright but I taught her how to fight when she was younger.
She acts like this to catch her opponent off guard and strike at them, was what I told her to do. My sister was an outstanding beauty that actually looked like a girl when I first saw her it gave me a surprise attack. She had long blond hair that flooded to her elbow with rugs dressing her green petite body as her face looked much more different than usual goblins.
"W-who is there!?" She screamed but I just flipped my hoodie up as my sister (fake)frighten look brighten up into a smile. My sister tackles me to the ground as her hugs were much stronger because of practice in muscle training. If anyone in the goblin village right tried to attack my sister, they will get a surprise I will just say that for sure.
"Now, now I wonder how you were able to find out how your brother looked, even after evolution," I said surprised at such an adorable young girl was capable of finding me apart even though I looked like any other goblin when I was younger. "How could I forget my brother's smell!" I didn't hear that correctly so I told her to repeat. "Hmm, can you repeat that?"
"Repeat what?" She said suddenly as I thought maybe it was just imagination. My hand then went to grabbing on to the shoulders of my sister. "Come on, we're leaving," I said with my hand pulling on to my sister. "W-why?" She questions me, now she is much smarter than your average goblin, as she memories whatever I taught her about.
"We need to leave now! At the moment, we are under attack by some sort of plant thing, so we need to escape before we perish with the village." My sister accepting my answer followed right behind me with her looking around, while I also did it as well. I decided to give her a knife before continuing onward as she might need to defend herself.
I looked at the front gate as most of the goblins were being killed and in panic as I see a died chieftain with a hole on his head right in front of me. Tsk! It seems like they didn't put up a good fight against the plant but they are better as a distraction than anything else.
I said as I sense something whooshing through the air as I took my sister and myself to the ground. A bullet like object came crashing towards the ground and digging itself through the dirt. With us avoiding it, I instantly located where the sniper is and pushed Gora to a house near us to protect ourself.
I then saw the rose plant finish what's left of the goblin soldiers and targets us with its thorns aiming towards us. I gritted my teeth as I pulled out my newly prepared knife that was extra sharpened towards killing things in one or two slices. Keeping the sniper in check, I got into a defensive position as I aimed the knife towards the plant and gotten to my feet.
I felt the gazing of the sniper's eyes and kept that in check as my mind gone into a complete fighting mode. The Rose plant soon burst towards me like a meteor breaking through the sound barrier and came crashing down at my first position. I quickly jumped above the rose plant as getting hit by those poison thorns won't be very good for my health.
Something messed with my mind, as a sweet smell came over me but I shook it off with pure willpower and looked at where the smell is coming from. The flowers seemed to give out an aroma that freshly made anything with a nose fall asleep. Okay, these flowers give out a sleeping effect, anything else I need to know about before fighting this thing?
So, I covered my nose and analyze the disadvantage I am at right now, it made me completely feel weak. There is a sniper, poisoning, and sleeping smell that limits my options to only a few as I took out my knife and charged towards the plant. The plant prepared against my charged but I stopped it by jumping into the air above the plant and came slashing down.
Knowing that trickery and messing with its reaction time will be the only way to coordinate a victory out of this smart moving plant. But instead, I felt nothing being sliced, as the plant moved away from that position, with a sniper shot coming towards me in a fast moving pace.
I prepared for that as I taken a gamble at where it might hit and threw a stone towards it, to messed with it's aiming. Completely throwing it off coarse and hitting the grow next to me, I quickly looked at the projectile and saw a thorn. I put two and two together as I prepared for my next strike against the enemy.
In such quick session, I prepared all of the material I earned throughout my adventures outside of the goblin village and aimed towards a better life. I took a breather, as I grab on to my knife and sprinted towards the plant with another stone in hand. This time, I stopped all my momentum in my tracks and pulled out a bow with lighting speed on my backpack, while I took out an arrow on my quiver.
I aimed the bow at the sniper as fast as I can and draw the bow extremely fast even compare to an Olympic bow shooter. Without thinking about anything else, I shot it, the air blowing from the string being release hurts my hand a little bit. I knew the rose plant was ready to kill me and end my life but I did what I could do.
I threw down the bow and sprinted towards the rose plant with my knife getting ready to strike down on the plant. My right hand was holding on to the knife as I strike against the plant in quick secession but it seemed to avoided it with clear movement. As it began the relentless attacks coming from all sorts of direction, left, right, below, above, center, diagonal, horizontal, and even snake-like attacks as well.
I start sweating as the attacks were predictable but are very fast as I attacked right back with a forward slice. I miss as the fighting gets even more intense with each hit almost ending the other one's life as I thought this back and forth battle will last forever. I could feel the sweat dripping off my face as I finally found an opening in the plant's defense.
I ran forward and strikes down with all my power but...at that moment a yellow flower popped up from the ground right in front of me as my foot hit it. My foot hitting the flower, felt like hitting hard concrete as it broken my center of gravity and made me fall back but that was enough time for the plant to rush as I felt my life flash between my eyes.
I thought that was the end of my life, but instead, the attack stopped as a smell similar to the aroma filled my nostrils and made me faint to the floor, as I see Gora running towards me. My little sister thrust her knife towards the plant but was easily dodge as the plant did the same thing to her and made her faint using the flowers. That was the last thing I saw before my vision was taken away from my eyes and dark covers me.

Epilogue
Revised version now available! Amazon paperback, ebook, audiobook, Kobo, B&N, Google In the war-torn land of Cyraveil, four heroes strove to overthrow an empire. By cold steel and elemental sorcery, they brought peace to a warring land on the brink of destruction. As the flames died, the realm needed strong leadership, and who better than the champions who had saved the kingdom? But when the people sought out their saviors... they vanished. Matt, Blake, Jen, and Carl: the four mysterious companions, who together had deposed an insane ruler and saved countless lives, were gone—spirited back in a whirlwind of magic to a sleepy suburb in Mellbridge, Oregon, never to return. The friends found themselves home in the real world, exactly as they'd been the night they were taken, as if no time had passed... except only three came back. Hi there! This was my entry for National Novel Writing Month, because why only write one series at a time? The more the merrier! (meanwhile, my keyboard bursts into flames...) I'm also the writer of The Last Science, an ongoing low-fantasy/speculative sci-fi series. If you're familiar with that, you know what to expect here: lots of character-focused drama and dialogue, not a whole lot of traditional action. However, I'm writing a bit differently than usual here, and in a very different structure, so there should be some surprises for returning readers. I hope you enjoy it! [Discord] — for those of you who want to hang out and chat. Cover art (fullsize): Path of Revelation, by taenaron (Tobias Roetsch), modified by Etzoli. Normally I like to do my own cover art from scratch, but I was in a rush for the contest. Might be replaced down the line if I get time.
