What came out of the deepest ends of the forest was a hideous creature, it was a 10-foot tall pitch black ball with different sized mouths all around it. It had elephant-sized legs as well as tentacles with eyes at the ends.

It made a high pitched shriek as it's multiple mouths open and close in sync.

What the fuck is that!?!?!? The monster people was weird but it didn't bother me too much but what in the hell is this thing?!?!?

The group of hunters got into some kind of formation, the girl with the staff was at the back whilst everyone else was in front.

The girl with the staff started to draw some kind of sign with her staff. This sign lit up a bright red and quick bolts of fire shot out of it and hit the giant abomination. As an effect of it being hit the abomination started charging at the group.

The group moved to the left to avoid being hit, the same thing was done when they were charged again. The staff girl is more signs full of different positioned lines and colors each one performing different actions.

What I'm watching right now feels like I'm watching one of those people that wave a red cape in front of the bull and he avoids it whenever it charges right at him. After a couple of dodges and range attacks, one of the males started to change, tufts of fur grew quickly, those tufts became clumps and these clumps so covered his whole body.

The man grew possibly 3 or 4 feet bigger, had a foot long razor sharp claws and had arrowhead teeth. His head resembled a cross between a wolf and a shark.

The wolf shark attacked the abomination head on slamming into pushing it back. In response, the abomination lashed back with one of its tentacles landing a direct hit, this attack left a large laceration on the chest of the wolf shark oozing with bright red blood.

Even with a large laceration oozing with blood the wolf shark stood up tall and didn’t even falter but instead choosing to counter-attack by slicing off one of its tentacles, the abomination screeches in pain losing control of its tentacles.

One tentacle hits the wolf shark and the abomination hitting a homerun sending the wolf shark flying in one direction. The rest of the group make their escape as they have lost what looks like their strongest member.

I gotta get outta here too, don’t want to stay this long with an abomination. As I turn the other direction I feel a slight uneasiness, like someone, is watching me…….or something.

I look behind me and I see a large eyeball

Oh shit!!! oh shit!!!

I point my BAR right up to the eye and fire a shot.

BANG!!!

The same greenish color bullet fires and explodes the abominations eyeball. It produced more ear deafening chipmunk screeches and the mouths bite down even harder.

Out of nowhere a tentacle swings and hits me, I get launched off my feet and into a tree. The tree I collided with snaps into two, immense pain could be felt in every inch of my body, I drop down on all fours sweating staring at the dirt ground. I puke out blood and blood stars dripping down my lip.

Something's broken……..something is definitely broken. I might die for a second time heh. Didn't last that long but it was interesting…….to see something after death.

The abomination moves in closer to me.

I crawl with all the strength I have left to pick up my BAR, I ain't going out without a fight you cocksucking black ball piece of shit!!!

Aiming directly at the body of the abomination I pull the trigger multiple times. Chunks of the body are blown off splattering onto the forest. The abomination stops right at its tracks not long after it collapses onto the ground.

Having regained some of my energy I get on my feet, any normal person would have been dead on impact with the tree……. I'm either extremely lucky or it's something about my body.

Awww shit I got dirt and blood on my suit! How am I supposed to clean it, sigh i'll think about it later. The guys at the tavern said that I'll get paid for magic vermin, am I able to get paid if I bring this back? Only one way to find out.

I carry as much of the abomination on my back and now the hard part is navigating how I'm gonna get back to the city. Lucky for me the group that fled not too long ago left trails.

After minutes of following the trail, I finally make it out of the forest. Hordes of hunters and groups still hovered around the entrance of the city. Asi walk passed the groups they give me astonished stares. Hmmm, I wonder why?

The guy said to go into the building with a sword on it, got it.

Entering the building I get the same astonished stare from the people inside. Walking up to the closest counter I put the chunks of the Abomination on the counter. The man on the other side of the counter was a fair young lady, a belt full of daggers around her waist and shot ginger colored hair.

“How much for this my lady?”

“T-This is this the monster in the forest?”

“I guess, I killed in a forest.”

The girl examined the chunks with eyes wide open.

“So how much will I get paid for this?

“T-Two hundred? N-No Three hundred……..you'll be getting 300…..300 gold Mecililles!”

300 gold Mecililles….how much even is that? I know gold is the highest level of the currency here but I still don't know how much that really is.

“I still don't believe you killed it! And you look completely fine!”

“Heh do I?”

Well, it's not like I did everything, I had quite a rough time with the abomination.

“Well, I'll be going now.”

“Alright see ya!”

Murmurs fill the room.

As I exit I'm able to catch one of the murmurs, “wow he killed the monster in the forest by himself, he must be really strong.” Well, that's not entirely true but it is a nice rumor to have.

Since it was getting dark the number of people wandering the streets decreased, the homeless must have some kind of shelter they gather at during the night. I guess it's also time for me to hit the hay.

Entering the tavern there was still quite a bit of people, they must be waiting for dinner. Speaking of dinner I'm quite hungry, I wonder what they have for dinner? I wonder what I can get for 300 gold Mecililles?

I walk up to one of the serving girls and ask what's good on the menu.

“Sir! I recommend the roast pork and vegetables!”

“Fine ill have that”

“Coming right up sir!”

The waitress leaves into the kitchen, I find the nearest empty table. I don't think it would be polite of me to join in at an occupied table, even if it's not full.

More people enter the tavern, horns, multiple limbs, you name it and I probably saw it. They wore expensive looking armor and weapons.

The group sat at an empty table.

The waitresses and the other customers all stared at the group, all with gazes of fear. One of the waitresses pushes another waitress in front of them.

“W-what would you like t-to order lord Ezekiel?

“The most expensive item you have please.”

“C-coming right up!”

Lord? Is he important? Well, that would explain his expensive getup. Does he work with humans? He’s a lord but humans control the empire…...so he must be with them.

A waitress walks to my direction.

Looks like my food is here.

“Here sir! Your roasted pork and vegetables!”

“Thank you.”

On my plate, there was a roasted pork fillet on top of peculiar vegetables, cabbage? Lettuce? Spinach? The vegetable looked like a combination of all three vegetables.

But……...it tastes great.

Th vegetables have a flavor I’m unfamiliar with, a flavor I’ve never tasted before back before I died.

“Oh I'm sorry I must’ve forgotten my money somewhere, you know what? Can this meal be on the house?”

What scumbag said that?

I look up to see the same lord talking to one of the waitresses. The lord wore a big smile but the waitress was shaking and cold sweat slid down behind her ears.

“Ah, n-no problem it's on the House!”

Abusing his position huh. If I owned this returning I wouldn’t let him leave until the bastard paid.

As the lord and his group got up and started to leave the lord stared back at me with a grin on his face and then left.

God damn bastard.

I finish my meal a bit irritated, I call the waitress over.

“How much?”

“5 silver mecililles”

I give her one golden mecililles.

“Sir this is way too much! Let me give back the change.”

“No need, you keep the change.”

“T-thank you T-thank you so much, mister!”

I walk to the old man behind the counter.

“How much for a room?”

“One gold mecililles per week.”

“Alright, I’ll take a week.”

He hands me a key with a number on it. 245 must be my room number. I walk up the stairs and locate my room.

Walking through the halls male and female noises came from multiple rooms. I guess if you pay enough this place becomes a cat house. Never liked cat houses, that’s why I’ve never dealt in the cat house business.

245………..ah found it.

Inside the room was one large bed, a wooden table, a window so you can see outside and clothes hooks on the door.

All the blood that was soaked into my suit dried up and soon became a brown color so there were large brown stains on my suit. I’m gonna have to get a new suit tomorrow a little too dark to go out.

Peering outside the window there were torches that gave some light so that travelers at night can navigate. Guys in heavy armor with warhammers patrolled the streets. They must also work with the human empire.

Well, it’s time for me to end the day. I take my suit off and hang it on the door as I lay in bed tired thinking about the events that have happened today. Soon I fall in deep sleep.
