Ch4,

"A dessert!"

"A god damn dessert!"

"Why?!"

A sound of complain are heard across the dessert,

A group of 15 womans, all dressed in a ridiculous fantasy outfit that will make anyone questions if there is a cosplay event nearby

""We are gonna die!"" 2 dogos screamed in snyc as they hugs each other for comfort

"We are not gonna die! We only need to find something to give us shade until the sun goes down,

Kiara, can you fly?" A girl with pink (Ah fuck it) Calli said to the half naked girl (That mini skirt is not covering anything)

"I don't know, let me try" Kiara close her eyes and imagining her self flying,

She puffed her cheeks and clench her fists while pumping them as if that would works

Suddenly she got enveloped by a wall of fire

"Kiara!" Gura called at her, almost ready to shoot her with water canon

"I am okay! Don't worry about me!" At first Kiara is also surprised by the fire vortex but she soon begin to calm down as she realize the fire does not feel hot at all

The wall of fire soon begin to disperse and what left is a beautifull giant flaming bird

"Kiara?" Ame calls out to the bird and it flaps it wings excitedly

"KIKIRIKIIIIII!" The bird chirped excitedly as it try to fly away

She launched herself to the sky leaving her friends on the dust while she fly freely

"Holy shit i am a bird!" Realisation comes stricking her down as she feels her body had gotten weird

Gone was her long slender arms, replace by a giant flaming wings of a phoenix

Her mouth turnes into a beak and her hair turned into flaming feathers on top of her head

"Kiara!" Her friends has finally grow bored at watching Kiara Flies through the air and calls out to her

She flies down towards her friend and her ody get engulfed in flame once again as she transform back

"THAT WAS AWESOME!" She jumps in place in excitement remembering her previous flying experience

"Did you see that?! I turn into a bird! A flaminf bird! Oh my god this new live is the best!"

"Alright calm your horses Kiara, we need to find a place to stay, preferebly near water sources but considering where we are.... I think a cave would suffice" Calli calm the excited phoenix down

"Ehehe sorry, alright then i am off!" She turns into a phoenix again "not yet, i am coming with you" but before she can fly off, Calli stopped her

"Well, sure but how? Are you gonna ride me~?" The giant falming phoenix teased her friend while getting closer to the reaper

"*Sigh, yes Kiara, i am gonna ride you, we don't know where we are so it'll be too dangerous for you to fly alone" Calli after years of being friends with her, she is already used to her antics.

"Then isn't it better for you to stay here? Who's gonna protect them?" Kiara said looking at the other members

"Protect them? From what? Do you realize how strong is our group?

We have 9 Epic race, not including the two of us, and 2 Rare race, no offense Watson and Shiori, but really i don't think there is anything they can't handle" Calli explain the situation to her friend as it is true, it will take a subtantial ammount of dissaster to even hurt their group

"And For the last time FuwaMoco! We are not gonna die! You are an Epic race! Act like it!" The two doggos are still crying out in the back, they all just ignore them as it is a common occurance for them

"Ahaha, right, i forgot about those. Alright then come aboard!" Kiara lean down to make it easire for Calli to climb up to him

"Hold on, why are you the one that gets to fly with her? I wanna fly to!" Gura stop Calli and Before they fly off

"Yeah!" Watson agreed

"Because i am an Epic Race so i can protect my self and her while she is flying" Calli kick them where it hurts and Both Gura and Ame grumbled at her

"Well i am an Epic Race too" Ina calmly responded to her

"Yeah! You can't just get a free flying pass like that! That's not fair! Let Ina go too!" Gura after being hit by the Emotional Damage from Calli decide to side with Ina

"Yeah!" So is Watson

"Sorry but i don't think i can carry more than one person, this is my first time flying after all" Kiara said

"Well then let's just let Ina go! Come down Calli!" Gura said while pushing Ina

"Wait, i don't even want to fly" Ina actually don't want to fly as she is just saying that she is an Epic race

"Too late for that Ina, Up you go!" Gura keep pushing her but Ina finally tried to stop the little girl and she is much stronger physically so the little shark have no chance

"Damn it!" Gura grumbled beneath her breath

"See, Ina don't want to fly so i am going" Calli said

"Wait! I want to fly! And i am also an Epic race!" Bijou suddenly said as she want to try to fly

"No" Kiara answerd quickly

"Why?!"

"You are a Golem"

"And?! Are you a racist now?"

"No, you are made of rocks"

"So what?!"

"So you are heavy"

"Are you calling me fat!?" Shiori can't help but laugh at their interaction, so is the other Advent members

"What about me?! I am light and i am strong!" This time Bae is the one wanted to claim her seat

"No" Calli responded

"Why?!"

"Senpai privileged"

"THAT'S NOT EVEN FAIR!" Bae throw a tantrum while Fauna tries to calm her down

Kronii is already down laughing from the start

As they laugh and throw tantrums Kiara decide to just fly away and let them on their own with Calli on top of her

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The two girls fly across the dessert, trying to find any water source they can find

Well that is easier said than done

They have been flying for half an hour and they see nothing but sands, sands, and sands,

Also do mention that they see sands?

And of course they see giant worms eating people

"Giant worms eating people?!"

Both woman fly towards the rucuss as they see hundreds of human being devoured by the worms

They feel sick, if they have eaten anything right now they would've let it out

"We gotta help them!" Kiara tried to dived down and help the poor people but Calli stopped her

"Are you crazy?! Look at the situation! There is 4 of them! How are you gonna beat all of that?!" Calli tried to reason with her and Kiara begrudgingly listen

"Just calm down, if there is a survivor we'll try to rescue them, but if there isn't then there is no sense in throwing ourself to danger" Kiara nodded and spectate the battle from afar

That's when they see something interesting

"A human?" Kiara look at something, something small but her hightened sense can perceive it clearly

She sees a human, well a humanoid person, for all she knows he can be a Vampire or half elf

"He could be a great spirit like the councils, there is no way a human can do all of that" Calli commentes as she sees the "Human" cutting up giant worms left and right

"No, the council have much more mana than him" Kiara shake her head

"You can sense Mana?"

"Yeah! Didn't i tell you?"

"No you didn't"

"Huh, anyway should we help him?" Kiara said, looking at the exhausted human she is sure he can't keep going for long

"Alright maybe we should help him now" but before they can help, the worm has swallowed the Human whole

They look at him being swallowed by the worm in shocked

This is not the first time they have seen someone died but it never got easier

"Damn it"

"Welp, he is dead, let's continue our search for now"

"Hold on, his mana is still there"

"Maybe it's from the corpse, let's go"

"Let's just. Wait for a minute okay?" While the both of them have their conversation, a blade of pure mana suddenly splurge out of the worm's neck from the inside

Soon after the blade begin to move, it decapitate the Worm's neck, leaving blood splurting everywhere

"See?!, that guy is still alive" Kiara look at the man, falling off of the Worm's neck and lay down in the sand, exhausted

Soon another worm begin to emerge

"Quick help him!" Calli not wanting to be late again tell Kiara to quickly dived down and save the man,

They manage to reach the man before the worm and fly up to safety

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So that's what happends" Kiara said after recollecting the story

"So in other words, you fail to find a place for us to stay, but you find a man instead?" Ame said after being told the story

Gura: "Why do you bring him here?"

Kiara: "Well we can't just left him there, he is going to die"

Kronii: "And that suppose to be our problems?"

Fauna: "Kronii!"

Kronii: "Look, i am just saying this is a new world, morality, rules, and law, is nothing here, no offence Mumei but it's survival of the fittest now"

Mumei: "none taken"

Fauna: "well it's still good to save someone, so i am okay with this"

Biboo: "what are we gonna do with him?"

Fauna: "Heal him?"

Shiori: "After that?"

Mococo: "Maybe he can join us? We can make him our body guard"

Calli: "again, Mococo, we don't need a body guard, we are strong enough as it is, after we heal him we can just left him somewhere safe, after that let nature takes it course"

Everyone nodded at her and they agreed

Fauna begin walk towards him and try to heal him

How can she heal him? She don't even know herself but it feels like she can just, Do it (Simple explanation, Bullshit magic)

As Fauna healed him, they finally notice something that they have been overlooking because of all the blood

Mumei: "why is he naked?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..." ×69

Kiara: "His... Clothes must've been destroyed from his fight"

All of the members of hololive step back and avert their eyes from him.

It's not like they are an innocent teenager or something, but seeing someone butt naked while the laying down with his face looking up is.... Embarassing

Except for Fauna, she have no choice but to keep healing him with blushing face while trying her best not to look down

Down.

Gura: "wow"

Maybe it's instinct, maybe it's a natural body function, but our boy right here has "woken up" from it's slumber

Standing proudly like a tower piercing the sky, our boy has woken up and demand some release

Kronii: "That can't be natural"

Nerissa: "is it always this big?"

Fauna, Calli, and Ina tried their best not to look at it,

The other are looking with curiosity as if seeing a new species

Biboo's eyes are covered by Shiori

Ina wanted to cover Gura's eyes but she is afraid Gura is gonna bite her hand

*Poke

Bae has gone away and poke it

Everyone: "BAE!"

Bae: "what? i am just curious, wonder how it feels like"

She poked it again and Kronii drag her away from that thing

Fauna: "I am done, let's get away from here"

With blushing face Fauna finished healing him, making sure she did not see the thing,

But her mind are still filled with imagination of that thing

She finished the healing and walk back to her friends

Fuwamoco: ""What about him?""

Fauna: "just... leave him here, he is already fine anyway"

Bae: "aren't you the one that want to help him so bad? Why are you abandoning him now?"

Bae tease her green friend while grinning at her

Fauna: "let's just.... let's just go, please let's get away from here"

Bae: "why~? You suddenly don't like him anymore? Is the shape not to your liking?"

Fauna: "Bae!"

Calli: "alright enough teasing, i agree with Fauna, we still need to find a place to stay and this time, i think it will be better if we all walk together while Kiara fly on top of us to see if there is something nearby"

Kiara: "who makes you the leader?"

Calli: "no one, but someone need to step up and get things done, unfortunately it has to be me, if you have a better idea please go on and tell us"

Kiara: "well i do have a plan! Remember the carcass of the previous worms hunted by this man? Why not use them as place to hide till night, and then we can go find water at night,

Also maybe we can eat it's meat? It might not be the most delicious food but we gotta eat what we have"

Nerissa: "so we are just gonna take his hard earned prize like that?"

Kronii: "we heal his wound and save his life, that should be enough to pay for the meat and shade"

Ina: "but are we really gonna wait inside of a corpse until the sun goes down"

Gura: "urgh, just thinking about it makes me want to puke"

Calli: "well, i guess that's the best option we have, let's just hope the smell is not too bad"

All of the holo member finally agreed to go towards their next destination

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ugh" a man was seen waking up from his slumber on the sand

He feels his front part scorching hot from the suns exposure and immedietly try to sit

"Where am i?" He rubbed his head and pat his body,

His body is currently covered with sands making him feels an uncomforatble itch all over his body

A sudden surge of memory comes to his mind as he jerks awake and get back to his fighting stance

Sword ready in his hand, observing his surrounding for any sudden movement he can sense

A few second pass and he realize that he is no longer in danger, there is nothing there except for sands for as long as he can see

Even the worms carcass are no longer there

'maybe something else eats it?' he shakes his head and relaxed his body

He look down and see that he is conpletely naked

"Well this is gonna be a problem"

~A few hours later~

We see the same man walking around the sand again

But this time he have something covering his body

'what a very generous lizards, giving his skins to be my clothes and meat to be my foods, the occupant of this world sure is kind'

The man walks the arpund the dessert wirh a makeshift robe made out of lizard's skin,

'although i still feel naked because i am only wearing a robe but whatever, better than nothing'

He walks around with no directions or anything, just keep walking until he found something

He create water from his mana but because of his lack of affinity, it costs him more mana than the mermaid

'i wonder if they are okay, ah who am i kidding, they are probably dead'

He drinks the water and continue in his path

Boredom begin to strike him, not as much as the heat from the sun but it's still there

'is drinking mana made by myself the same as drinking my own piss?' his mind are filled with weird thought as the sun keeps hitting him with it's deadly laser

~2 hours later~

(Akane's POV)

Hey do you know what blood taste like?

I know, because i have been drinking it.

"God it taste bad" i have been murdering any creature i can find and consume them as much as i can.

I can't any find water source so i drink what i gotta drink okay?

Well, most things, the disgusting and obviously poisonous one are left behind

The not so obvious one? I throw them at any living creature i can find, see if they can eat it

'thank you for being my test subjects. Your contribution towards my survival will be greatly appreciated(forgotten)'

"Oy! Are you from earth?!" Suddenly i hear something from the distance

A group of people are waving their hands trying to get my attention

'Finally'

"SOCIAL ACTIVITY!" I run towards them, happy to see someone else are here

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So that's what happends" Our mc explained his tragic backstory to the new group

"I see, we did encouter these giant worms as well and we manage to escape, but..... Not all of us are" a half man half orc said with grim faces after he listened to Tatsuya's story

"Yeah, who knows this new world would be so ruthless at the start" Tatsuya tried to sympathize with them but he make them even sadder

"So uh, do you guys have any water source or something? I have been drinking my own mana for the past few hours but i gotta tell you, that is not good, your mana won't recharge if you only drink that" he have been experimenting a lot on how his new body works

He found out that

1 your status will be refreshed whenever you level'd up, that's how he manage to survive

2. Water magica are drinkable, but if comes from your own mana then the effect will be less than desired

3. Everytime you level up, your status doubled

4. His sword is f*cking unbreakable

'i have tried to use this sword on anything i can stab, and there isn't even a scratch on this thing, this sword is far too op' he don't know if his sword is actually indestructable or not but it sure does looks like it

"Anyway Tatsuya-san, what are your plan from now?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Annd that's it for now, sorry if this is quite late because i was researching some material for this story

This story will be about building society from the ground up, with new resources and completely new mechanics known as magic,

Therefor, i am gonna need to research the history of society, see how things been going on in the past

Seeing that i am Indonesian, our history lesons are small to nothing, we are secluded country through and through, we know almost nothing about the history of the world

Most of us don't even know about the holocaust, or who Hitler even is.

So i am diving deep down on the history and oh my god, humans are monsters,

This?! This has happend in the past?! Like seriously if you gonna continue reading this story, you are gonna see something completely attrocious and thought "there is no way a human being would do this" but no! This is litterally has happend in the past!

The event of nanking, Unit 731, Holocaust? What the f-?! We are all monsters, there is no justification, we are all monsters.

The number of goblins and demon kind in this fantasy world of mine just tripled after my research, because before that i already know we are all monsters.

But i completely underestimate the ammount of attrocities a human being can do.

Anyway i am gonna go back to my research, and if things will keep going on this way, this story will get darker and darker the more i learn

If you have any recomendation about the darker part of history, let me know in the comment so i can adjust the darkness in this world

See you later

I used to think the maerlyn from AOT was bad but oh my god, we are worse, far worse than them, ethnic cleansing? yeah that is not even the worst thing that has hever happend in history,

remember the scene from Attack on titan where they turn the eldians into titans and make them eat each other?

or the one where the king force the children of Ymir to eat their own mother so they get Ymir's power?

or maybe the one where they let a little eldian girl get mauled by dogs just because she went out of the gate?

we. have done. far worse thing than any of that.

throwing babies in the air and catching them with spears.

playing fruit ninjas with humans heads.

injecting all kind of disease into someones body just to see the reaction

it happends, i am not joking it all happends. oh my god

and the torture. i..... i don't even think i can say it here, it's far too gruesome

how? how did that happend? are humanity even a good thing anymore? i am starting to have existential crisis just seeing these thing
