《Judah Judas Adventures》Chapter 31 - Escaping from Danger Zone - Part 1
Advertisement
In the previous dream, I had a while ago, two guys, whose names are Julius and Hans, have been staying in a cave and decided to attack the enemies who are probably going to take them down any moment. Hans, from what I understand, is a wizard of a higher rank than me obviously, and Julius is just a warrior who wields a spear to attack enemies or water on him and his dear comrades.
Hans and Julius, who decided in the last dream that they will attack from both directions, are from behind and from the front, but the problem will be next. Which of them attacked you from behind and which from in front? This question made both fighters think.
"I will take the back and you'll take the front." says the guy named Julius.
"Why though?" asked Hans. "Just because you are a wizard and your strength and resistance are weak it means you have to attack from their back while I have to make a direct attack and to risk my life and spear to help you have a perfect shot with your spells?"
"Well... If you put it that way... Yes."
Julius sighs, then reply to his fighting colleague that he is accepting the attacking role and method of attacking. So, Hans stood behind Julius or the enemies and attacked you with spells like "Fireball" and others. I don't know what kind of spells that wizard has, but they will be strong if he's a good man. Julius, stand in front of Hans and kill every enemy that comes out in front of him with the spear he holds.
They both come out of the cave where they hid to heal from the attacks they suffered. Julius begins to feel the pain he has suffered because he has not healed properly, in fact, he has not been healed by any healing spell, and he asks Hans why he cannot use the healing spells, but he said something that I will definitely remember for the rest of my life.

"You see, not all magicians can use healing spells."
"Whoa, really? I thought every magician or wizard can do healing spells," says Julius to Hans being amazed at this information he heard from his war teammate.
"Yes. You see, there are two kinds of wizards in this vast world. The first one is common, and the other one is rare. Those rare magicians can create many spells at a very young age, and the common ones are... just some simple wizards who can barely create a waterball at the beginning. Those rare wizards appear randomly. There is no time, year, the century or even millennia specification, they just appear like hair flake on the navel or like a baby you forgot you had in a woman for about nine months."
"I-I see," says Julius to Hans while both of them have left the cave and continued to walk into the forest until they will arrive in the safe zone.
As long as we see life through Hans, I wondered if this person would somehow be a member of the Kingdom's Royal Army or a mere fighter. The same thing I wondered about Julius. Does the kingdom belong to what kingdom they belong to and at what time it is exactly because the surroundings of the forest through which they go seem familiar to me in the year in which I am currently located?
Hans and his friend Julius walked through the woods for a few meters, until they arrived in front of a dilapidated cottage. Julius decided to tell Hans that you were going there to find out what was going on in this hut, just to make sure it wasn't some kind of enemy trap.
Julius arrives after taking a few careful steps at the door of that cottage, and there he discovers a door that is open and that had not been locked for a long time. Possibly years, decades or even centuries, but if we think about centuries ... Such a thing would sound too exaggerated. Julius opens the door and looks in the abandoned house, and there he discovers something macabre. In the bed of that abandoned house, covered with dust, there are four skeletons of children between two and four years old. Julius, disgusted to see those four skeletons, ignored them and looked at the next thing that distracted him, a book stained with blood. Julius opens the book, takes a look at it, and puts it in his backpack, and leaves this abandoned house which was probably more like a prison for children or something like that.

When Julius left that abandoned building, he and Hans went on to the point where they would have to escape from this area. Julius told Hans that the safe area where they can take shelter and where there is a good hiding place where it is located almost a kilometre from them.
Julius and Hans run through the woods with their eyes wide open for any kind of trap that could be set at any moment. Hans could run, but Julius, having this idea of running, found it increasingly difficult to do so since his left leg was bandaged. Hans really wanted to propose the idea of resting somewhere, but Julius decided that to continue to walk to the safe zone, that rescue area is not far away from them.
Even when the two arrived in a beautiful forest area, one could see in front of them holes who were digging in the terrain that could even make the one paranoic man in real life thinking the aliens did this. Julius and Hans were looking at those holes for a few moments, and both of them concluded those holes are places where traps can be buried such as poisonous arrow launchers, spikes coming out of the ground, or the famous bear trap anointed with poisonous snake venom.
Hans and Julius have analysed those holes and breathed relief has happened, those holes are empty, which means those traps weren't set at all and they could walk past them without worrying about anything, but when they got in the middle of those traps, the luck came to a stroke of bad luck. In their front, three soldiers of the enemy have appeared, which they carried in a cart those traps were about to set. When the soldiers have seen Julius and Hans, they were about to take their weapons to destroy them, but Hans takes his wand faster aimed at one warrior with his wand, and says to him "Fireball!". A big ball that is completely in the fire has left the wand and hit that soldier Hans was aiming for. And Julius has taken his spear and with just one perfect distance, swing and power, he just cut the head of those two enemies. That enemy who was on fire was desperately trying to get rid of that fire that covers his entire skin unprotected by armour and begins to melt his human skin. Hans and Julius watched as that enemy rolled at him with all his might to escape the fire that had struck him.
Later, Hans and Julius go ahead and ignore those enemies that left them lifeless and continue to struggle. Hans and Julius take a path in this forest where they are located and walk a few meters straight ahead until the two fighters arrived in front of something that does not appear to be any animal or human. The two fighters arrive in front of a monster, which is a giant mouse or rat, with brown eyes and spider arms.
"Oh, shit! Sopider!" says Hans preparing the wand to create a spell
That monster who is called Spider saw those two and he is charging right to them. Julius was about to take the spear but something bad has happened, his broken leg has started to hurt him, so he leans over and watches as that monster combined with a rat and spider about two meters strong comes towards him.

Lone: The Wanderer [Rewrite]
Nine-to-five. The daily grind. Life. Painful years of school. Working as a slave for some undeserving corporate big-wig. The monotonous life of unemployment. We all experience this in one way or another, and we can all conclude one thing: it's dull. Such a fact rings true even for the fabled Lone Immortus, a powerful nine-tailed Golden Foxkin. However, what would you do if your monotony was suddenly ground to a halt and you were thrown out of your comfort zone along with a young girl forgotten by time? Perhaps you might have done things differently, been more organised, immediately died, gained control of the world in a matter of days, but this is Lone's tale, not yours. Watching two insecure people struggle to survive and find their place in an unfamiliar land just might be enjoyable to witness. Who knows? One thing's for certain: it won't be an easy path for them to tread, and what could possibly be more entertaining than watching people endure hardships and grow? I know of at least eight gods that would answer with, 'Absolutely nothing.' I wonder, after seeing this journey from start to finish, how would you answer?
