1: My Noodles

"Two dollars for an instant noodles? Isn't that a bit of a rip off? Well I'll just hope they're worth the money." I whispered as I transfer the noodles to a bowl. The noodles smelled quite appetizing and even though I still dont understand what makes this worth two dollars, the smell lifted my mood up a bit, well that was until a huge hole on the floor appeared right next to me.

"ROAAR!" A loud roar woke me up from my surprise and then the building shook making my hand slip and then my bowl of noodles fell. "NO!" I screamed as I try to reach after it which made me lean into the hole and, stupidly, fall.

Well in my defense, that bowl of noodle costs two whole meal, and I havent even tasted it. My cheap ass just cant let that go to waste, well I'm about to fall to my death so I guess my cheap ass is turning into a waste, still if I do survive this, can I ask my landlord for a refund? I paid for a month in advance and now there's a huge hole in my floor.

"ROAAR!" The roar sounded again and just as I was about to fall flat to the ground, I looked down and saw a towering figure. Red skin, curled horns, and peirced snout. Well what do we have here? Isn't that a minotaur?

It lifted its huge axe and chopped down at the people below and stepped on the corpses, which I am soon about to join. Around it was ruins of the building, pillars and walls along with broken pieces of concrete littering the ground. Right next to is... a portal? What?

Falling straight down twenty stories down to a pile of corpses is not a very pleasant experience. As the thump of me falling sounded, my ears rang and my I can't move even a bit of my body. A feeling of numbness spread across my body and a few seconds after, it faded away and was replaced with pain enough to prevent me from standing up right.

Hearing loud foosteps, I do my best to look at where the sound came from and saw that the minotaur was hacking people up. As the ground floor has glass windows, I was able to peer outside and saw the situation. It was a pandemonium. Countless cars are left on the road, smoking or already burning, the buildings around are in a mess as creatures forced their way inside, people are running away while beasts chased after them. Wolves or creatures who resemble wolves ran in packs as they hunt the running people down. Green skinned humans who looked exactly like fantasy descriptions of goblins weilded spears, swords and bows as they ran after their victims, There are also this giants made of stone, golems. They walked slowly crushing everything beneath their feet and turning people in their ways to meat patties.

Breathing in, I saw the the seriousness of the situation. there are alot of casualties, just counting from the pile of bodies i fell down to. Monsters rampaged and even more poured out from portals that appeared everywhere. One even appeared on the ground floor of my apartment, letting out minotaurs and... kobolds? Monsters with the head of dogs wearing fur and wielding staves, scoured the floor for people, they formed group of threes and called the minotaur upon the sight of their prey.

'I am so not getting that refund' I thought as I try to breath quiter and pretend to be dead to avoid the attentions of those kobolds. I tried to calm myself down and ease down my tight nerves. My palms are sweaty and the pain is making me faint, even so, I try to stay concious as I dont know whether those kobolds might spot me or the minotaur might step accidentaly on me. Looking around once again to look for the monsters, I saw that they were quite far away gnawing at the body of a man.

"Ack-" I retched as I watch them munch on that body. The minotaur tore the body in half and ripped the limbs off, throwing them to the kobolds who awaited their share, While the monsters outside the building doing the same. The stench was thick, and as that smell of iron reached my nose, i woke up from this sense of surreality. Im going to die. Fear crept up my skin numbing the pain coursing through my body. Not that I feared death, no, I feared pain, I dont like pain. I have experienced pain most of my life and though my pain tolerance is higher than most people, why should I endure it? My body right now is already painful enough that it brought tears to my eyes but to experience your limbs be ripped apart and be gnawed on is something I never wanted to experience.

Well it seems that I have no say in that matter as i still cant move anything but my eyes and fingers. My thoughts are all over the place as I thought about the smell of blood, the corpses around me, how Im about to follow them, and the monsters nearby. The fear took over my body, making me paralyzed if I am not already. Though I am well aware that panicking is not going to help me out of this situation, the fear brought forth by the thought of being eaten is enough to stop my head from thinking straight, my prided wit nowhere. The breathing that i did my best to silence started to turn into gasping as the panic embedded itself in my head. I was so pre-occupied by my scattered thoughts and turned stupid by fear that I failed to notice that another voice was talking inside my head.
