Testing The Dark

World

it's been a few Days, since Mask maker went into "hibernation" a term I recently remembered and understood.

Like many others that appeared in my mind, ones it eventually became clear, and Focused, I understood that I wasn't originally from this world but reincarnated into it.

And that I was originally a weird creature called a human, they resemble the mask maker and my self in a-way.

what was that term? was it humanoid? yes. it was called humanoid, both me and the creature that I was, we're humanoid.

but unlike me, many of the other creature that lives in this....I'm not even sure, MM never did tell me the name of this place, only that this chamber was his home.

In his home I prepared it took me...I don't know. this world doesn't really have a day or night, so I don't know how long I've stayed in his den, that concerned me.

so I started to count the times I rest, the times my consciousness was lost, I think? it's called sleep, so every time I slept I call it a day and then I use that to determine the time.

its been 3 days and all I did was prepare, I opened the sack that Mask maker made for me, and it was...useful. there's a set of black armor that's made from I'm not sure what but I immediately wore it nonetheless.

it has a chest piece, grieves and gauntlets those I wore, and over them I wore a long dark green cloak, that hides all of my skin that the armor couldn't hide.

I decided to protect my skin, to not get wounded by the creatures that lives here, beyond the Mask maker's den.

but the armor and cloak, wasn't the only "supplies" the MM packed it also contains food and a vial filled with blue liquid, and a bunch of fossil like objects that I decided to not leave behind.

when I was done, I didn't immediately leave I first scouted the surroundings so to not too lose myself.

MM never did said, anything about the area around his home, but it's clear that I'm underground...

I walked into the tunnel, the Mask maker always used to leave his den, I saw that the walls are a bit different from that of his home.

they're a lot rougher, like they where made of raw dirt and stone, and some what illuminated by glowing mose or fungus, and ferns they all glow with a pale white color, haha funny that I would, expect something else.

huh there's an opening...when I saw it, I kept moving towards it thinking it was an exit.

but when I reached it, I was immediately stopped, or I would have plummeted to my doom....

what I saw was dangerous, a gorge that I don't know, how deep was below me, it was smooth atleast as smooth, as raw loose stone and dirt can be.

And It was dark, dark enough to not see the bottom.

I...stood there thinking of what to do...then it came to me, I went back to Mask maker's den, and took a long spool of rope, and binded one of its end, too a large stone, big enough that I can't move it, even with all of my strength.

Then when I reached that faithful edge....I did something that's both stupid and Fun...I did a leap of faith, like diving into water.

With the rope, tied all over my body, to support it from any sudden tensile pressure.

With that I'm Confident with this plan...

" Thud "

It...wasn't that deep...

I stood up and saw that it was just dark...and that it was just a 6 meter dive, I learned this when I look back at the edge.

White : " ...okay moving on... "

I looked around, and it was too dark for me to see anything, but the continued tunnel that has the same glowing flora.

But...that's not the only here...

" krur kru...kru.. ( scratch noises ) "

I saw them...creatures very much unlike me or Mask maker...there where 3 of them, two fighting with each other, while the last bigger one was gutting another unfamiliar creature with its mandibles.

the three looked like...large ant and shrimp hybrid like insects. they possess a silver colored disjointed carapace, with 4 pure black eyes, and 8 legs and a large disproportional mandible.

the poor soul, how's currently dead, and being eaten by one of the creatures, it seems like a creature was some how semilar too me and MM...

nevertheless I stood there motionless too scared to even breathe while hiding in plain sight, using the shadows as camouflage.

Waiting for the bug like creatures to move on, after finishing there meal, before I too can move on and keep scouting ahead, atleast until I start feeling "tired" again.

huh...another word I fully understood...it seems like most of my knowledge are still...vague for the most part...

I wished that would be aided by time...

It felt like hours have past, haha what are hours in this timeless world...

But eventually they left, the two stopped there fun* and the bigger one finished its meal, I walked slowly towards the remains of the fallen creature.

after I was sure the other creatures have completely left, the scene.

what I saw was unnerving to say the least...

White : " Vvvvggg ( vomiting child sounds ) "

It felt weird, I don't know if it was the smell of death, or the sight of white blood or the gore but it made my stomach turn.....

Ha ha wow I just understood something, this is probably the reason Mask maker didn't want me to linger....

I just stood there staring at, what looks like the remains of a bipedal insect, when it was alive, I'm scared no terrified at the sight.

I didn't linger out of fear, or something else... I was pushed too move, I took the downed warrior's weapon.

It seems like a "Sword"....a sword that doesn't posses a Guard, and it seems likes it was made out of a gray metal that's not Iron....and very similar to my armor....

And then I ran....I used the rope tied around my upper body, to easily climb up and run into Mask maker's den.
