Chapter 2

Are they coming?

It's been 15 minutes since I started hiding and their footsteps haven't stopped, how good is my hearing? At the pace they are walking they have traveled at least a mile already, and yet they are still not here.

Kinda bored here, wait, hold on, if this is a fantasy world, then maybe I have one of them status things. Nah, I'm not even human anymore I doubt that I have one.

I mean, it couldn't hurt to try at least

=====================================

Well, that's op as shit, I think, and so that's my name huh? Ozaruz, not bad, I like it, seems fitting for a minotaur, well mini minotaur, I don't know what's up with that, maybe a variant of normals that's just smaller? I have to wonder how much smaller though, mother is very big, at least 24 feet tall, so I'll probably be 17 feet tall at the smallest.

But the whole deathly weakness pisses me off, I mean it makes sense because I absolutely hated tartar sauce in my last life, I may not have memories, but I can still hate that shit with a passion.

Like I would much rather off myself than eat that disgusting, chunky, foul-smelling, vomit-like liquid sauce, and yet I somehow ended up dying to it, maybe I was poisoned or something? I can't remember the time before choking, it literally cuts to me choking on the sauce and then black, so it's possible.

But who would want to kill me?

Was I like some mafia boss before?

Some rich tycoon, or at least the son of one?

Who knows, not me, so I guess it doesn't matter, that life is in the past, and it will stay in the past, for now, I shall just focus on the future and hide until they go away, Besides I don't think that tartar sauce should exist here so this life should be must more pleasant than the last.

Anyway back to the status, it looks like I have some built-in skills, that Ironhide one is why I didn't feel the pain I'm guessing, and the infrared is why I can see without opening my eyes, the other skills I haven't even touched yet and I don't have an ax so why do I have an ax handling skill?

Whatever, the more skills the better.

The footsteps are still coming so I have some time, I open up my mouth and attempt to breathe fire, only hot air comes out, so now I try again but think of fire coming out and it does, but because I see everything as shades of red it overloads my vision with red and gives me a major headache.

I immediately stop the fire breath and bring my hands up to my throbbing head trying to ease the ache. The sound of footsteps gets closer and closer and it rings in my ears only increasing the pain.

???(*Nervous*): "A-are you sure this is a good idea?"

??: "Don't be like that, what's the worst that could happen?"

?: "Well we get brutally murdered for one"

??: "Oi, don't you start on me too"

Finally, took them long enough to get here, now all I need to do is just wait for them to pass over and I'll be fine.

?: "Look I'm just saying, we have been walking for a while and have yet to encounter a single monster, don't you think that's a little suspicious?"

??: "Maybe the goddess is looking favorably down on me"

?: "Yeah right, like the goddess would even glance in your direction"

??: "Hey at least I'm not a magicless freak like you"

?(*Pissed off*): "The hell did you just say to me?"

??: "You heard me, freak"

?(*Mad*): "Don't test me, Aaron"

Aaron: "Or what...Freak"

Everything suddenly went silent, thank god because now my headache is finally going away. But it looks like the atmosphere is tense over there, not like it's my problem though.

?: "Tch, whatever" he answers after a while

Aaron: "That's what I thought."

The 3 of them continue forward for a bit and my headache stops altogether as they round the corner and see mothers corpse.

??: "Holy shit!"

?: "What the hell?"

???(*Scared*): "W-why is the d-dungeon boss h-here?"

So mother was the top dog of this place? Nice, the group of three walks up to mothers body and cut off her foot I think, I hear something heavy drop and the body jerked around as well so I'm pretty sure it was her leg.

Unknown to me, my body started growling instinctively, I noticed and managed to suppress it before they heard it, but If I don't do something then I might be found out.
