《My Ordinary Life》Chapter 3 : The Ordinary Forest
Advertisement
--- Unknown Forest ---
Before I go deep into the forest, I confirmed that there is nothing else in the cave other than this clothes I'm wearing right now. Well, I forgot where I put the letter, but I can't find it when I searched earlier.
Then. first priority would be to find some food, and since I’m in the forest, that means fruit or vegetable.
Just after I walk a bit into the forest, I found a tree with some fruits looks just like a mango but has a blue skin. I do able to pick it, but, I don't know, whether it's safe to eat or not. But looking at this unique fruit, makes me realize that I might really have been in another world...
"I still can’t believe that I've already dead, but I also thought that no human would be alive after got hit by a train head-on"
"Haaa~"
It does resemble mango, but it's about twice the size and has blue skin. Is it safe?
That book from earlier is not really helping at all, it mostly only have information about this wrist-card and various races in this world, it should have great if there is a list of edible food. If I'm not careful, I might lost my life because of poison. And I heard that poisonous plant or animal are actually more beautiful than the non poisonous one. Yeah, I might need to find some plain looking one.
My priority is to find food, but since I don’t know what edible, that means I might need to find a shelter first.
Well, rather than find, I might even need to build one.
*step *step
"Huh?"
I heard a footstep coming closer to my place, and I hide reflexively behind a tree right beside me.

When I try to look to the direction where the footstep coming from, I saw a weird creature.
It has the same feature as human with height about 130 cm, and a light green skin.
Is that . . a goblin?
It wears a simple yet complete set of clothes, and it has a club as a weapon on his right hand.
Wait… what should I do in this kind of situation?
Fight it?
No, no, I don’t have a weapon, do I really have to fight him to begin with.
Then, run away?
No, no, I don’t know how many goblins around here, he might not be the only one here. If I run away, I might get caught.
Then, keep hiding here?
No, no, I don’t know why the goblin coming here for, he might come because he noticed there is something wrong around here.
Huh? Then what should I do?
Ah! Start a conversation with it?
.....Wait, can we even understand each other?
But, there is no other way out . . . I’ve got to gamble on it. First, calm yourself....
*inhale *exhale
You can do this Taka!!
*drum sound
When I got up and try to call out the goblin, I suddenly hear a sound of drum being hit from afar.
It was so loud that I dropped my guard and lose sight of the goblin.
But then, I realize that the goblin run as fast as it could to the source of the drum sound, not only one but there are about 3, no, 5 goblins running to the same direction.
I don’t know why, but my body moved by itself and follow the other goblins into the same direction, it might because I want to speak with him? Or it might because out of curiosity to find out what's going on.

I’m getting closer to the source, but I stop myself when I can see a kind of settlement as the source.
Is that . . . the goblin settlement?
That means, the drum sound might be about a festival? emergency? ceremony?
Wait, I should not think about that right now.
“GOGOBS KII”
I can hear a loud scream from the settlement. I don’t know what it means, but Isn’t this a perfect time to run away?
Yeah, since I still don’t know what the relation between human and the other races, and I don’t know the custom in this world, then getting away from a likely problem might be a correct choice now. Yeah, they come back running as fast as they can, it might be a bad news.
Then, without delay, I run as fast as I can to the opposite direction of the goblin’s settlement.
Huh? This place . . .
When I start following the goblins, I was lost. Now, I don't know how far I have run, but I am standing at a paved road. Which means, there might be a human civilization nearby.
"I might be able to survive"
Right then, the fatigue hit me all at once
I lost all my strength.... My body become heavy and my eyes are forced to close.
. . . . .
“Oi!”
“Oi! Wake up!”
“you should not sleep here you know!”
*Hngh
When I open my eyes, I can see 4 people around me.
"are you alright?"

Master of Dungeons
-This is my first attempt at uploading a story I created. It is not a fanfic, but uses several systems from other stories I've read. I hope you enjoy, and feel free to leave comments or criticisms as appropriate. Thank you.-Edwin Cast was your (mostly) regular guy living and working in Kentucky. He had a knack for working, and was always bouncing from job to job as fancy took him. Insatiably curious, he was always on the look out for new or interesting information or things to do. You could say he was a 'hard-work fanatic'.But with an ailing mother and the inability to realize that he was being shunned by those considered his 'betters', he met his mortal end at the hands of those people who he replaced. Beaten to death on the same day his mother died, he's soon pulled from the void into a world beyond his own imagination. Reborn into a fantasy world as the last 'Demon Lord', Edwin is expected to rule over a vast number of races, each of which are considered 'monsters' and demon-kin by the zealous human kingdoms of the world. And if that wasn't enough, the only way to progress and make ends meat is to build and control 'Dungeons' for the righteous humans to invade!Edwin will have to give it his all in a world he never expected even existed, and will have to learn to survive with his wits and growing power in order to establish something resembling peace in the war-torn lands of Eternia.-NOTE: I'm still in the process of working on the storyline, characters, and abilities that will be presented. A large number of themes are planned, and mature/adult content is planned. The story may also be a bit slow in some cases, so please bare with me. Thanks again!-NOTE: People have been mentioning the rough grammar and spelling errors that come with my posts; and while I've said so in the forum comments, I'm going to post it here as well. This is all basically a rough draft. I post the chapters as I write them, with only a spell-check for accuracy. None of the chapters are proofread. Once people point out blatant errors, I try to correct them; but otherwise I'm more interested in writing. If anyone wishes to proofread my work, shoot me a PM on the forums! Thanks again.

Life in the New World
On the Hiatus: I began writing this novel when I was, in all honesty, very bad at writing. I hope to revisit creative writing in the near future and I plan to, at some point in time, revisit this. I am flattered that many people have taken the time to read this story, but it is not what I intend to start with, as it will likely need a hard rewrite in order to correct many of the more glaring issues it has. Join our hero and follow his exciting adventure through a newly changed world! WARNING their will be violence, profanity,, and gore in this fiction. if any of these make you uncomfortable this is not a story for you turn around and walk away now!!!
