CHAPTER 4. The Bizarre Moment

　　The next day

　　In a forest on earth, it was still dark, because the sun had not yet appeared in the sky. A spider that was in a cave seemed to stare at the bed where there was a burly man who had scars on his head, stomach, hands, and feet lying there.

　　“I have never seen or heard of, if there was a god or goddess who was so generous in saving the life of a mortal, unless the humans were people who served in the temple, such as High Priest, or High Priestess. Could something have happened between them? Ah, I do not have to think like that," muttered the spider, turning his attention to another direction.

　　The eight-legged creature was busy making a net in front of the cave, which was about to be completed, according to what the moon goddess had ordered. Not long after, the spider has managed to make a web, thus covering the target area. Spider looked satisfied, then started to jump on the wall, then walked the other way.

　　Thirty minutes later, slowly but surely, the fingers of the mortal male's right hand moved, although the movement was still weak. The atmosphere in the cave was quiet, because there were no other humans there, making even the slightest sound could be heard clearly. In less than two minutes, the two men's eyes opened wide. He did not seem to have said a word, as if he was still digesting what was going on.

　　“Where am I now?” murmured the thirty-five-year-old man.

　　He glanced around, trying to sit up, though it was a bit difficult to do so. A few moments later, the handsome man was able to change positions from lying to sitting. Now, the mortal male can observe the situation more clearly.

　　The scenery in the cave made the man surprised, confused and amazed at the same time. He could see many torches sticking to the walls as if someone other than him had inhabited the place. Not enough admiration disappeared. The man turned his head the other way. There was a wooden table that had a set of clean clothes, food, and drink available. “It is unbelievable. Who did all this?”

　　Meanwhile, a spider could be seen walking on the walls of the cave. He saw that the mortal male, who was still badly injured last night, had awakened. In fact, the man was already sitting on the bed. The spider continued to walk quickly towards the target, as if wanting to get a closer look at the human's face. When it arrived at the destination area, the eight-legged creature observed the strange man staring at the bed.

　　“Mortal male apparently has realized. It is a good situation for me. If it is like this, my duty as soon as possible finished. Just wait for him to leave this place, then all the things that Goddess Atvertha has mentioned will be mine,” muttered the spider.

　　Meanwhile, the green-eyed man stood up and walked towards a table of wood. He looked at the food, as well as the drinks that were there with gratitude. “Whoever has helped me, it was a blessing in disguise for me. I am still alive now and that is unbelievable grace. Thanks to the gods and goddesses who sent unexpected help through these humans.”

　　"Hey, mortals!" call the spider. However, the effort was in vain, because the person did not hear such words. "I just realized that he could not answer, because only witches, shamans, High Priest', High Priestess, gods, and goddesses only have the privilege of being able to listen and answer our voices."

　　The man who has a height of one hundred and ninety-two centimeters tall takes a drink of clean, fresh mineral water, then sips the water slowly. After completing this action, the right hand took the food, which turned out to be four pieces of bread, which were on the wooden table. He seemed to enjoy the simple dish that the moon goddess had given him, although the man did not know who had been kind enough to do so.

　　The man's left hand accidentally held his stomach. There was no pain there, so that moment made him confused. The muscular man stopped eating the bread, then touched another area, namely the head, but there was no pain at all. The right hand put a piece of bread back on the plate, then stared at his own body, especially in the area that was first touched.

　　The clothes worn remain the same and have not changed. Only there was no more blood that came out. The man with the strong jaw frowned, looking at the hand that was in the same situation. The man seemed to not believe what was happening, so he touched his head again. There was no pain at all like he had last night.

　　"Why now does my body not hurt anymore? Is this the miracle of the gods and goddesses? I guess so. Whoever has healed me in a short time, he or she was not an ordinary person. If someday I find him or her, I will express my gratitude," said the mortal male. The right hand again grabbed a piece of bread, then began to eat the food again in silence.

　　***

　　Five minutes later,

　　The mortal male seemed to have finished eating the bread until it was gone. However, there is an eight-legged creature, who is observing the actions of the man who has been saved by the moon goddess. He tried to get closer, though there was still quite a distance between them.

　　"Hello!" call the spider.

　　The spider was deliberately using a loud tone in order to attract the attention of the man who was still unconscious last night. However, the thirty-five-year-old human did not hear the spider's voice, so the spider could do nothing about the current situation. Meanwhile, the man with brown skin, because he often worked in the fields, seemed to take clean clothes that were placed on a wooden table.

　　The man who was seriously injured last night even almost died and began to remove all the clothes that were still attached to the body. He replaced the old clothes that no longer fit with new clothes. When he finished doing so, the mysterious guy looked around, as if he was looking for someone, even though it was futile.

　　"It is silent here. Nobody's here except me, so I become confused, because I really want to express my gratitude to the people who have helped my life, and even provided for all my needs. But now the problem is with whom I will say that?” muttered the man. The look of confusion was clear, but the spider had been watching him.

　　In less than two minutes, the macho man looked at the wall. There was a spider there, so the spider felt happy because the mortal male noticed his presence. However, the situation did not last long, as the green-eyed man was seen leaving the cave without saying a word.

　　"He is a part of a despicable nation! Humans were so ungrateful and just walked away like that! It was good that the moon goddess saved him, so now he is safe, and he does not die horribly! It is really upsetting the mortal act that was shown earlier. He saw me, but he said nothing at all!” grumbled the spider that did inhabit the cave.
