Rock Bottom

"Hahahaha..."

'This is really rich isn't it. No family, no home, no wealth, no strength, I always wanted to be transferred to some other mythical place, but this this is really rich. I can't tell if having nobody is good or not.'

I felt with every time I laughed the surging of pain from my heart, but the pain was almost refreshing knowing this wasn't all fake. My heart felt like it was being ripped apart and opened, but at the same time it physically felt fine. My heartbeat was calm, normal, better than what is was like on earth. I used to be the normal fat kid I wasn't good at anything no matter what I did maybe here it will be different.

I woke up a while a go but my heart has been hurting to much to actually do anything. No it's not my heart actually, it felt more like my soul itself. When I first awoke I felt pain in my head to, but after all these new memories stopped flooding into my head the pain stopped shortly after. Here I had no home I was one of the many orphans in the world called Nixeus. I don't know how, but I just know that none of my family are here. Well now I know heaven isn't real, I wonder where they went?

Calling this world a huge game of Dungeons & Dragons wouldn't be to off. There was the Dragons, Kolbods, Orcs, Giants, and Goblins any monster you could imagine most likely existed here. Here though the monsters were not dumb idiots. All monsters were only slightly dumber than humans. The monsters all have one flaw though, Arrogance. If it wasn't that they regarded humans as to weak for them to care about we would have long been wiped out.

Humans were still killed often though leaving many children without homes to go to. Or with only one parent. I was one of those people my parents were killed by a group of goblins that was pillaging my town. I ran into our outhouse so the goblins wouldn't smell me quite disgusting. I heard my parent being butchered, but there was a stone cold feeling that it didn't matter, that this was normal and happened often. I felt regret knowing I couldn't help but the thing I felt was regret not sadness. Both me and the new me never felt sadness for others its kinda scary to think about. So we don't think about it we just live on ignoring those moments hoping nobody would find out.

'Kinda wack that I accepted all of this so quickly, but I mean I experienced all those memories at the same time so its not that weird right? I mean I always hoped for this in a way its like my dreams came true. I never expected I would feel so... weak. Not like physically weak but weak in the way that every single person could kill me. I don't want that I don't want to be a nobody I don't want to be at the bottom. I want to be above them all, I want everything and everyone that looks at me to feel fear and dread. But that never going to happen the only way I have survived till here is by roaming the woods hoping to catch a rabbit or a squirrel. I'm going to change though I will be the best'

"Hahahaha what am I some power hungry main character hahaha. I ain't no Ash Ketchum I don't believe in "the best" no I just want enough power to be able to live life peacefully and if that takes strength I will gain strength"

"Kid shut up will you? I've listened to you laugh for like the last 40 minutes and now you start talking like your a main character from a TV show. Ugh at least get up from the middle of the street you look like a maniac. If it wasn't for whatever the fuck just happened I wouldn't be surprised of those guards come and lock you up. Also your right in front of my stall you know how many people have walked around you?"

'Oh yeah I was in town wasn't I? I mean I guess if I want to get stronger I should stop laying in the middle of the street.'

I get up painfully but I mean it just feels like my soul is being shattered no big deal. I finally open my eyes to look around and I notice that I'm in the middle of the market but there is almost nobody here. Is nobody else facing this pain? I look to my right to see a cliche muscular fisher with his fish on display. "How could people walk around me when there is nobody around?" I ask him with sass. To much sass apparently because instantly his brows furrow. Like the jerk I am I laughed super hard and it hurt yet again, so yeah karma.

I hadn't just been laying down for 40 minutes for no reason though what I was doing was trying to think about what I should and at the same time get over my losses. After some time I was thinking what to do then I finally remembered something. "Excuse me Popeye do you think I could get some fishing line from you? I don't have money but I can pay you back within the week." I say to him while trying to show confidence when I had none.

" Yeah sure kid I will take your word on it right? An orphan like you who will do anything to get a quick buck? I remember when I gave you some fish and went and sold it five minutes later. And why are you calling me Popeye we ain't close enough for nicknames." He asks back with sarcasm and joking back at me.

Sadly I am the only orphan in town making it so everyone knows me. All the people have big lots of land here so even though there is lots of land there is few people. Everyone knows everyone here. This here is or used to be Sam the fisher man. He is quite the nice guy and I've cheated him a few times he comes from the main city so I'm surprised I was able to pull it off.

"Look I've changed I'm different know I wont cheat you." Still lying through my teeth and after some persuasion he gives me a one and a half feet of fishing line not a lot but enough for what I need. Lucky for me YouTube taught me how to trap.
