4 Who are you?

Going back in time, he found himself inside the black space again. Prior coming to this world, he wanted to escape from here as soon as possible, but now he doesn't feel so.

World outside is scary!

Such complicated feelings began to arise inside his heart. He was in a deep contemplation when, all of a sudden, the entire space shook. A red star can be seen in the distance, closing in. First it is the size of a bean, few seconds later, it was the size of a football, not long after it covers his entire field of view. He was enveloped in the light and all the darkness present swept away. The brightness was so dazzling that he could not even open his eyes.

When the brightness finally subsided, he finally opened his eyes, he was shocked to see that there is no longer that endless darkness, instead he was surrounded by countless white and red particles, colliding with each other and moving randomly. Whenever the red and white particles collides, a huge explosion took place akin to firecrackers in the sky. He wanted to grab a light particle, so he extended his hand forward but it passed through him without any resistance, as if it was an illusion.

"Do you like it?", Suddenly a voice can be heard coming from the depth of abyss. It was neither high pitch nor deep, a voice of neither male nor female.

His body became stiff when he heard that voice. All along, he thought that he was the only one here, but he never thought that someone else is also present in this dark world.

Calming his emotions he asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you? "

The voice remain silent for a moment before answering, "Don't worry, I will not harm you. You should consider me on your side, moreover you have to be extra careful next time because I may not be able to save you if this ever happens again. You should work with utmost prudence if you want to survive in this world".

Hearing his words he became extremely bewildered , why is he lecturing me?

But he still maintains his calm facade and asks back, "Who are you?"

"As I said before, I am on your side, Moreover you should hurry up and escape from this forest or you will be trapped here. With your current strength, it will be impossible for you to escape otherwise ".

"Haven't I died ?" he asked

The voice paused for a sec before continuing, "You should be waking up soon, don't worry that undead has been taken care of, but due to my interference in this world, I may not be able to help you in future for some time, that's why I am asking you to escape from here as soon as possible."

The voice continues on and on without my care, he got frustrated and shouted," Why am I here? Who are you?".

A sigh could be heard from the other side before the voice continued , "Now is not the right time lad. But I can assure you, I mean no harm. Quickly escape the forest and reunite with outside, as a reward for defeating that undead, I will give you some bonus and an escape route. Now go, my lad ".

"Wait!" he quickly shouted.

what the heck!

But, not giving him any chance, the black world began to twist and turn, He began feeling weightlessness and before long, he found himself lying in the ground along with other corpses.

he quickly stood up and swept his gaze across the village, all of the men have died, blood stained their clothes red. That undead is nowhere to be seen, but since that mysterious voice has said that it has been taken care of, he believed so.

The sky has became dark, but that bone piercing chilly aura is nowhere to be found, he quickly stood up, and tottered towards a hut nearby. Just when he was about to turn around, he heard wailing of ghosts and specter, his body became stiff due to fear, but to his relief, there were no undead nearby, when he searched for the source of the sound, his gaze landed on a large opening present alongside the rubble. He hesitated for a moment before proceeding towards the large hole which is three meter in diameter. The moment he was three steps away from the hole, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped. He stopped and decided to take a look for more clues in the morning. Turning around he selected a random hut, and began clearing up the corpses inside.

The wailing of ghosts never cease throughout the entire night, moreover he was too scared to even close his eyes even for a second.

Rubbing his eyes, he got up at dawn and began rummaging through the hut but it does not contain any valuable item nor any food . He got out from it and searched the entire village, but to his dismay other than bloody corpses there is nothing inside. He finally understood why those bearkin were drooling when they were staring at him.

Finally he decided to search the hut where that undead resided. That hut was the most luxurious among all present, clearly indicating the status of that undead. When he saw the rubble , a cold sweat broke out from his back. Even now, he did not understand how he survived nor did he understood how he defeated that last boss, but he is alive that's more important.

He was a man who believes in result not process.

He began clearing the rubble and began searching for any valuables or information regarding that undead, but all documents have been burnt by the intense fight. There are some ornaments present, but he can't carry them as it will be a hindrance. After An hour of searching, he did not found anything useful, this made him fell depressed.

Finally he decided to peek inside that hole. The hole was closed by a lid, which had broken off revealing a pitch black darkness. The wailing has ceased since morning, but he still has some lingering fear in his mind. Whenever he recall the events that took place, he still got shiver down his spine. That mysterious voice has suggested him to escape from here as quickly as possible, still he was curious, but he resisted his urge to climb down the hole.

Turning around, he began his journey towards the exit of this forest.
