Chapter 1: A New Beginning
When I came to I was in the middle of nowhere surrounded by thick trees from all directions, but there was one thing that stood out in my field of view.
It was a human sitting in front of a campfire, in the middle of his thirties wearing old and ragged clothing.
I came closer to greet the Middle-aged man.
"Hello?"
"... Oh, it seems like your awake now, I got worried when I suddenly found you lying on the ground"
"Im ok now... I think, by the way do you know where we are?"
The Middle-aged man went quiet and looked at the sky and said...
"... I don't know myself, I was just wandering around aimlessly until I found you lying unconscious in the ground"
The Middle-aged man said while having a painful look in his face.
I decided not to pry any further.
"I see... Thank you for saving me"
"... Guess I'll go hunt some food"
"Let me help you"
"No, you were unconscious when I found you, stay here and get some rest, I'll handle everything"
The Middle-aged man was more kind than I thought.
"... Ok"
Then the Middle-aged man smiled and went deeper into the forest.
After a while I got bored and picked up some stones in the ground and threw them into some trees.
"..."
"... Whats taking him so long?
I got impatient and went and looked for him. While looking for him I found some berries in some bushes and didn't know if it was edible or not, but at that time I was too hungry to care.
"mhm, this stuff is delicious so delicious"
I was crying rivers while eating these berry-like plants.
After having my fill, I went and looked for the guy.
Everything was not going well while I was looking for the middle-aged man. First I ran into some weird looking animals it looked like a wolf but something was different, and then we made eye contact, now I was sweating oceans, and ran for my dear life and I took a glance behind me and there were suddenly more of them i counted there was a total of 6 strange animals wanting my a taste of me.
"Gasp! Hah! Hah! Hah! Haaaaaaaaaaa!"
After running for a bit and surveying the surrounding areas I was glad I wasn't being chased anymore.
I don't remember much other than running for my life while those wolf like things started chasing me.
And then I noticed something... I looked all around me...
"Where am I?
Yes, I am now lost in the middle of nowhere, and my legs can no longer support me, then I fell to the ground. Also I was extremely dehydrated, but I saw a small watering hole just in front of me.
I gathered all my remaining strength to crawl to the watering hole.
"ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Come on!!!!! Gah"
After drinking some water I suddenly felt alive for a moment but still can't move.
I was just there laying in my back looking at the sky, I was saving my energy but didn't dare falling asleep because I was too scared if some scary beast would kill me in my sleep.
All this time I was thinking...
"Please no baddies, Please don't get near me, Please ignore me if you see me!!"
After roughly 4 hours have passed, Luckily no beasts were going near me in all that time.
Then I tried to stand up, I was still tired, but atleast I can walk now.
"I wonder where's that middle-aged man?"
"Maybe he's looking for me, or maybe he still hasn't come back."
Then I just chose a direction to walk towards and hopes it leads me to a village or that man from before...
If I don't find than man it can't be helped atleast I know he can survive in his own what im worried about here is me, I don't have any survival skills, or any tools so how am I supposed to stay alive.
I didn't think too much of it and if its too much of a problem I can always think later how I'm gonna do, but thats not a problem for today but a problem for later.
"As I always say it is always later than earlier"
"haaaaaaah"
Then I looked at the sky and hoped that I can Stay sane from all of this.
...
After a day of walking by myself I arrived at a clearing.
"Finally an open field"
I was ecstatic when I was finally out of the forest.
"Grrrrrrr"
Then my stomach made a noise I didn't know it can make. I was so excited but when I finally heard that growl I suddenly felt Tired and so hungry also thirsty... and I lost consciousness...
...
When I woke up I saw an unfamiliar ceiling made of wood, and I suddenly rose up and looked all around me.
"!"
I was in a horse driven carriage and it looks well decorated.
I saw 3 people a somewhat handsome young man, a somewhat young woman in the middle of her twenties, I think, and an infant, the child was on the womans arms and the man was sitting beside the woman. It looks like they were a family...
"Yo"
The man was the first to greet me.
"Hello"
"What were you doing here? When I found you, you were lying in the open, I just felt bad so I brought you here"
"That so..."
"!"
"No, I mean thank you"
"Don't let it bother you, just talk to us like you would to your friends"
The young man was a kind soul.
"Oh, we still haven't introduced ourselves, Im Jake, this beautiful woman is my wife Sera, and our cute little boy, Hermes.
It looks like they were happy together.
"And whats yours?"
"!"
"Im sorry, im-"
"!"
Whats my name?! No more importantly where am I how can I not remember anything?
"Im... Fuki"
"Nice to meet you Fuki, Pleased to make your acquaintance"
"Same here, By the way where are we going?"
"We're going to Pycea, we're about to see it any moment now"
Then we came to clearing and my eyes widened to its maximum potential, It was I gigantic place with a large castle in the center.
"Looks beautiful ain't it, Fuki?"
"Sure does!"
They all smiled when they looked at me while my eyes were looked to Pycea. But I remember... something I don't have money"
"... Jake I don't have any money how am I supposed to pay you for letting me take a ride?"
"!"
Jake looked suprised and then.
"Hahahahaha!!!"
"You don't have to, im just happy I could help a soul in need"
Jake said while having a smile on his face. Then I looked at Sera and she smiled back at me.
"How are there people as kind as this family..."
"What did you say?"
"N- Nothing!"
Im happy I met people like these and once again looked at Pycea... How on earth do I make money?
