He Who Survives

I sense an immense amount of heat bursting to my skin, its abnormally hot even for summer.

"Well, the grocery will not walk back to home by it's self wouldn't they?"

I brace myself to walk the suffocating heat to the nearest grocery store.

But holy god it is really that hot, i think it will cause some people faint from it.

"Thank you for your purchases." The store clerk said

"Uh huh."

I walk back to my apartment with weight around my hands carrying 2 huge size of plastic bag.

*Beep* *Beep* I heard a horn of a car coming closer to me in a split second.

*Screeech* The tires of car make a high pitch sound trying to brake.

Is this the end for me?

"Uh sorry to startling you man, there's a cat in front of you." the man said with his head peaking out of the window.

"It's ok, stay safe dude." I respond it with calm.

Guess today is not the day.

*cresh* The crispy sound of plastic bag hit the ground is really something that may seems insignificant but really a relief for some people like me.

*Huff* "And that's the last one." I emptied the content of plastic bag and then throw the plastic bag to my "May use later" collection.

I then sit in front of the TV watching for news.

"Today mark the hottest day in year." The broadcaster continue to speak and so on.

"So that's why the heat is killing me."

I turn off the TV and go to sink to wash my face.

*Splash* I splash water to rinse my face.

I wonder, how are they doing over there?

Mom and pops probably won't go outside since they're old, but how about her?

Considering she's pretty unpredictable, my sister could lay dormant inside the house or collapse from heat stroke in the middle of the road.

Well, whatever. Its not like I can do anything to help them since I've been kicked out the house.

.......

I open my eyes and meet with a wall of stone or cave in front of me.

"WAAHHH!!!!????" I scream as a reflex of shock and disbelief.

I take few steps back while looking my nearby environment. 

There's a bit of light coming out from the ceiling that illuminates the cave a little bit, but it's still dark and hard to see.

If this is a joke, then it was not funny at all.

"Man, these stains will be so hard to clean off." I utter it while checking my clothes condition

*tap* *tap*  I walk to what seems like the exit of this cave.

And then I saw it, the landscape of a deserted village in front of my eyes.

Well at least I know for sure that this is a work of magic and sorcery or just some random phenomenal. Like the one I've read when I was a kid.

Meh, its either I'm going to die here or some heavy hallucination happening.


I enter an already rundown house, seeing the furniture and all kind of things decaying.

"God its stinks!" I shout as unbearable aroma start to seeping to my nose.

 I exit the house without hesitation and greeted by unfamiliar creature waiting in front of the door.

It have structure such as short, bald, and green.

"A goblin?"  That is the first creature that come in my mind.

(Speaking in unknown language) "HUUMANN!!!" as It scream very loudly that can be heard all across the village

"DIE!!" *Swoosh* The goblin lunge at me with a dagger aimed at abdomen

"Shit!" I reflexively dodge with a back step and distance my self with it.

*Krak* As I hit the back of my self to a closet that crumble in an instance.

I quickly recover my self as fast I can and hop out the window of house.

*krang* The sound of glass shattering echoing near me, *thud* I then landed with bruise and cuts but luckily nothing fatal happens to me.

*drap* *drap* *drap* I then immediately flee and while seeing a bunch of goblin-like creature chasing me and they are hopping from rooftop to rooftop.

*huff* *huff* After running about 5 minutes I then found myself in another cave but this time the cave is... emitting light?

(Unknown language) "A soul that still lingering, lost haven't this poor one." Another creature greet somehow and this one is towering over me."

I'm actually not sensing a hostile intent with this one even though is is more scarier than the last one. I can't figure out its trait clearly because of the robe he's wearing but he's near 3 meter tall and his left hand is skeletal and he's hooding himself but he got a horn like a deer horn, an antlers to be precise.

"What is happening to me? Where am I?!" I frantically ask those question, hoping it can answer me.

But in the end only silence meet both of us.

*snap*  Then it suddenly snap it finger and then start talking to me with earth language.

"Myself believe you can understand myself now, though not in a way myself want talk, but your understanding should be clear. NOW! For your question, myself can't answer it fully as myself didn't know your circumstances, but you're on Loyd village now or what is remain of it.".

"And who are you." I asked to follow his question.

"Myself? You don't need to know, even myself don't remember its identity anymore.".

"If myself need to cast a language spell then it seems you're not from around here aren't you? What brings you here? Only thing a wanderer will meet is suffering if it have no destination.".

"I also have no idea. Last time I remember I was in the bathroom and than I instantly move inside an unknown cave. And then I got chased by those green things, and ended up here."

"So you got teleported from another world? How's that possible?...."

And then the silence return to us.

"..... Myself will help you by sending you into nearest safe haven now, and now heed my advice. Learn our language, and don't do anything stupid.

(unknown language) "I can't believe they still pulling people to here after all of that."

"Pity....." Is the last world I heard before I my conscious faded
