The Randomland

"Hey! Wake up, kid!"

An unknown shout of a man is heard and near to me.. As if those words was for me.. But I can't see anything. All I see is darkness.

*Pak*

Ouch! Who dares to hit me!?

I opened my eyes and suddenly, both of my eyes is hurting from the sudden influx of sunlight above me. After taking time to adjust my retinas for a while, I look at my right side and saw a middle aged man in white tank top and jeans. He have brown hair and little beards in his chin, giving out manly and strong impression for anyone who see him at first glance.

"Now, now, kid. You sure dare to sleep in the park grasses, huh!?" he said as he raised one of his fist to the chest height and let it hit another palm.

"Eh.. The park?" I said dumbly as I shake my head to right and left to confirm where am I. Didn't I was sleeping at my desk when I was preparing for the exam tomorrow? Where the hell is this

"Huh? You don't know where you are?" the man said as he tilted his head to the right.

"uhh.. Yes that's right. Where am I, sir? I'm sure this is not the park that I know in my town." I said as I give him my questioning gaze.

"Shut up!" he dash into me and raised his right first to the direction of my face.

*Pak**Buk* (sounds of fist hitting flesh)

Giving two punch in my eyes and make it like panda eyes now, I was knocked back from the impact of his fists, and hit the ground below with my back.

"Ack! Why did you beat me up?" I said, wronged at suddenly this dude of old man come into me and beat me out of nowhere because I just ask him simple question.

Blinking in surprise, he scratch his cheek while reply in innocent voice "Eh… I guess I just want to beat you up?"

Gritting my teeth from the injustice I suffered and stupid reasons he gave me, I take a double look at his body and it sure buffed with muscles like bodybuilder.

"Off you go, kid! I just don't want to see your face! It's ugly!" he said while shooing me away with his right hand. Looking at another annoying thing he did to me, I choke back the nine familial insults that's at the tip of my tongue and leave the place quietly… dammit, I'll have my revenge in this dude one day!

Walking out from the park, I stare at the surrounding street and again, notice that it's not a street I ever know in my town, everything is feels different. Looking around, I found a stranger with green overcoat and hood on his head, and complete with a masker in his mouth and gloves in both of his hands. Making it seems like mysterious person who would do shady stuff.

I hesitated for a while because it wasn't a good idea to ask from a person that looks like that, so I gaze around again and try to found a second person who I can ask where am I. But before I could find my second person, the guy in over cloak hoodie come to me and slap me in my back with his left hand.

"Hey! It's been long! Do you want to give me the debts that you owe?" he said to me while giving amiable impression. I just blinking my eyes as I don't even know him, much less the debt he were talking about.

"Uhh.. Sorry, but who are you?" I ask as I try to make a distance between both of us. What a weird man.

"It's me! Your friend Joe! Have you not remember? We even do that sexual stuff in that night!" he said, giving a 'ahahah~' laugh in the background. Wait what?

"What?? Sexual stuff? What the hell are you talking about?" again, I ask while giving out unbelievable tone on my voice

Eyes squinting at my question, he put his left hand to inside his overcoat and pulled out a banana. He raised the banana tip to me and said "Alright kiddo, you better give me some money or I'll shoot you."

….is this guy a patient from mental hospital that's been on the run?

Shaking my head, I said "Look dude, your voice sure intimidating, but you won't be able to threaten me anywhere with that banana. By the way, I've stuff to do, so bye" and then immediately turn my body behind and raising my right leg for a step.

*BANG*

Sound of gunshot sounded as the tile in the street, right below my raised right leg is dented from a bullet.

Holy fuck….

"No more steps away, will ya?" he said as I turned my head back to where he is and saw a pistol in the hand that's gripping a banana few seconds ago. How?? Where that gun come from!?

Another hand raised to me and opening the palm to ask me for something "Now, give me the money."

Looking below, I see myself wearing an anime shirt that I bought from random shop and short pants that have nothing at all in the pockets "Uhh.. I don't have any."

*Ptui*

Spitting on the roadside that's in front of me, he look at me in the eyes and said "No more games or I'll do what we did last night before… and much more harshly… I'll become beastly."

What the hell did you meant by what we did!? We just met for fuck sake and I really don't have any moneys!...is what I want to say, but giving out cringing face to him is all I can do when he have gun on his side while I only have my otaku brain "Look… buddy.. I really don't have any.." I said while giving a pathetic voice for him to believe me and just go away already.

Blinking at me blankly, he throw off his weapon behind as if it was just a trash and said "Well.. That's sucks to not have any moneys.. But oh well, good bye then, friend. Be careful, there are some bad people that will rob you even if you look poor as fuck."

Gritting my teeth in silent fury, I want to retort that he's definitely one of the bad people he was talking about. But as age grow, so does the wise. I won't let the moment of anger to give out a conclusion where he won't go away and then try to threaten me again. Who knows what kind of doraemon bag he had to pulled out a gun out of nowhere.

Shrugging his shoulders, he look at me and said "By the way, you seems like lost. Do you want to ask me anything?"

Hesitates for a second, I grit my teeth again and just try to ask him, even though I have not much hope "Yes.. If you won't mind, can you tell me where am I?"

Laughing at my question, he spread out both of his hands open wide and said with confidence in his voice "Well.. Then welcome to Randomland."

…..Random what?
