Chapter 2 ( I'm going to die again in this world aren't I?)

I would rather be anywhere but here, almost any other world than this one, and in time, war is coming. Robert is already king, even though from my memories I don't know how long he has been king, it doesn't matter it means a war fought with dragons and the undead is coming.

Growl!!!!!

A sound snaps me from my thoughts as I turn to my right to see a dog, a black average sized malnourished dog that's looking at me like it wants to devour me whole.

As I saw it, a familiar feeling appeared, consuming my mind and thoughts, fear, it took over my very being making me completely forget to even breathe.

As I froze from fear, the dog waited on no one as it rushed towards me and jumped opening its mouth aiming for my neck, clearly wanting to end this in one attack.

As its mouth neared me, its horrendous-smelling breath reached my nose and snapped my back to reality, but it was too late, as even if things looked as if they were barely moving I knew I couldn't move quick enough to dodge its attack.

'This was it. This was how my new life would end after only living it for less than an hour, at least I wouldn't have to live an average life again.' I thought as I waited for the pain.

YELP!!!!

YELP!!!!

Instead of pain, the sounds of the dog crying in pain sounded and with it, I felt all the strength in my body suddenly disappear, as the world turned dark and I lost consciousness.

( Hours later)

AHHHH!!!

My head was killing me even more than before, as I looked around I realized I was still in the forest, and I wasn't even injured, just even weaker than I was before.

GROWL!!!!!

My stomach growled, the original body died of starvation, I had ignored it before, but now it was even worse, and I didn't have the energy to find food to eat.

As I was thinking of a solution, the smell of burning flesh entered my nose, and I looked behind me and saw the source.

It was the dog from before, it was dead and from the looks of it, it was burned to death.

I didn't have to be a genius to understand what had happened.

I had the power of the Mera-Mera no mi, it's a logia my body was made of fire it seems the dog passed through my body and was burned by the fire.

The smell of burnt dog flesh entered my nose and instead of disgust, it made me salivate, one could imagine how hungry I was.

The truth of the matter was simple, I didn't have the strength to stand right now, from this body's first death because of starvation then the elementalization of my body that took the little energy I had left.

I literally have no energy left, I need to eat, even if it's this dog meat.

Even if it is to live another average life I want to live to see another day.

As I mentally made that decision my fingers dug into the ground as I dragged my body in the direction of the roasted dog.

As I neared the body, the smell became even stronger, probably the worst thing I have ever smelt in my life.

Under normal circumstances, I would never eat this, but the circumstances now aren't normal in the slightest.

I had arrived at the body, and before the new feeling of disgust completely overtook me, I bit into the hind leg.

Trying my best to ignore the disgusting taste and chewing the minimum amount possible, I continued eating the hind leg till it was gone, moving on to another.

I ate until I was full and as soon as I stopped and was about to relax, the barely digested roast dog had made its way from my stomach back to my mouth trying to escape.

Left with no choice, I clamped my mouth shut, and even though it was even more disgusting than eating the dog the first time I forced everything back down.

I knew if I threw it what I had eaten I would die, and death scared me more than anything else so I would do almost anything to. avoid it, especially a death full of suffering like starvation.

It took me almost half an hour to completely get rid of the impulse to throw up, now I was on my back thinking of what I just did.

" Was it the right choice?"

" Truthfully, I stay alive there are many other more painful ways I could die, dying by starvation in this world may have been mercy."

As I looked at the stars in the night sky, thinking over my choice, one thought invaded my mind.

" I am going to die again in this world aren't I?"
