Void

The tribal men carried me through a thick jungle. The sounds of birds chirping and leaves rustling was crisp in the air. As they pushed through the the thick walls of vines in the jungle.

According to them I was being taken to living place to commence when they dubbed as 'chief fun'

I had no clue what exactly chief fun was but I'll be honest. It made me anxious.

🐐🐖🐐🐖🐐🐖

After about an hour of travel we reached a small camp. There was a large bondfire at the center of this camp and the outskirts were filled with tents made from the same fur that was used to make the loincloths.

It was a blue fur with grey streaks going through it that looked utterly alien.

The tribesman roughly dropped me and joe on the ground.

"CHIEF MAN! WE BRING NEW FLESH HUMAN!" Yelled the tribesmen.

I couldn't help but feel even more anxious as I was proclaimed to be a flesh human.

I had no idea what it meant. But I knew for certain that it couldn't mean anything good. It made me think of canabalism.

*PAP PAP PAP*

With great lumbering footsteps a giant walked towards me and joe. He towered over the trees around him and was almost as broad as he was tall.

He had tanned skin and sharp eyes. Like the rest of the tribesmen here he wore only a loin cloth.

He squatted down in front of me his stern brown eyes looking straight at me.

I gave him my most charming smile.

"Haaaaaaa."

He poked me in the back so hard that it knocked the wind out of me.

"Strange man. Take to priest." He said

The tribesman nodded.

"Yes chief. I will take to priest."

He bent down and picked me up. He walked away with me bringing me further into the camp.

I was separated from Joe and I could do nothing to resist.

The second the tribesman carrying me walked by the people in the camp would stop whatever they were doing and stare at me.

The adults eyes held great suspicion and the children's eyes held great curiosity.

After a few minutes of travelling we had reached our destination.

We reached a hole in the ground with a visible layer of darkness on top of it.

"Priest through hole."

Before I could even react I was thrown into the darkness.

🐐🐖🐐🐖🐐🐖

All light vanished. All sound vanished. I could only hear my heart beating. My synapses firing. My bones grinding against each other.

All I could see was darkness and all I could hear was myself.

I was not falling through this darkness. No. I was drifting. Some force that I was sure had magical origins was controlling my descent.

After a few minutes of falling I experienced the sensation of my body touching down on a the cold stone ground.

"YOU THINK YOUR STRONG HUH!?!?" At the bottom of this darkness screams echoed.

"Ahhhhhh!" It was the sound of a man getting tortured.

I couldn't help but think. Would I be next? No surely not. After all I am much to charming for anyone to ever want to harm.

"The power you gain from ending lives is paltry in comparison to the power we gain from the murder in the systemized lands!"

"Ahhhhh!"

"Don't think trash like you can end us!!!!"

"Ahhhhh!"

~It would be prudent of me to crawl away from those sounds.~

And so that's what I did.

I crawled away until the sound of screams vanished.

As I laid there in the darkness I contemplated what to do next.

~There's no way I can defeat that giant in single combat. So I can't take these peoples power that way. I need to find a way to convince him onto my side. But how can I do that if I can't even speak to my jailers?~

I couldn't think of an answer to that question.

Suddenly burning light flashed in my eyes.

"Oh sorry did I turn up the brightness too quickly?" Echoed a sarcastic voice.

After my eyes had adjusted I looked up at that voice. There standing above me was a man with two great voids for eyes, pale white hair and a toothless grin on his face. His grin wasn't toothless because because it didn't show teeth. It was toothless simply because he lacked the teeth for a teethful grin.

To the right of this man was a glowing blue light.

He looked like some kind of deranged monster.

"Hello." Said the man

~Looks like I found my jailer.~

I let my charming smile flourish on my face.

"Hello." I said, despite his insane appearance I felt no fear for this man. After all. I could charm monsters.

"So you are the one that the giant marked as strange right?" Asked the man

I nodded.

"Yes. I'm assuming your the priest then?" I said

He shook his head.

"I'm the priest of nothing. After all in this world there are no gods. Only immoral fools and idealistic monsters."

I raised an eyebrow.

"I would argue against that."

Clearly there is one man more divine than them all. One man with a greatness that is incomparable!

He titled his head to the side a condescending grin growing on his face.

"Oh? And why is that?" He asked

"Because I'm one of those gods."

He slapped his knee so hard that he literally collapsed from the impact.

"Bahahahaha! You a random cripple?!?! Your a god!?!? Pffft if that's the case then I must be the incarnation of power itself!" He yelled.

I scowled. ~Once I conquer over this land. This man will be the first one I kill.~

"It's true though. I'm a real bonafied god." I said

"Oh really? If that's the case then how about we check. Let me go grab a status stone."

The priest vanished and there was only darkness once more.

As I laid in that darkness I could only muster myself to think a single thought.

~What is with this world and sacreligious priests? First the priest of giga chadus and now this guy?~

It's seriously crazy.
