novelThe Place Where I'm Right Now Is "Mountain"
| ← Ch.002 | Ch.004 → |
That day, since I ran away from the city it's been 2 years.
Right now, I'm in the middle of frigid bilzzard.
However I'm not feeling cold at all. My limbs and my body can move normally. And when I move one step forward, scorching desert air had spread this time. But still I neither feels hot nor sweating.
There are variation of brutal climate changes in this place.
Sometimes it becomes heavy rain with thunder falling down, sometimes it become sunny day, etc. Just like now when the hail begins to pretend not long after that scorching sun is spit out the hot wave, what a funny place.
This place is a 「Mountain」.
Moreover it isn't an ordinary mountain. This gigantic mountain, people somehow understood how dangerous this place is, enough to say that no one would try to approached this place.
I think there are two reasons why this place is dangerous.
First one and the most inconvenient thing is brutally climate changes.
As the other one, there are 3 beasts in front of me that can make a good example.
First, on the left side, 3m height body with a head of cattle, bipedal walking creature that are covered with black hair, an ultrabuff monster.
A tribe so called "Minotaur". On its right hand was something like giant wooden mallet. It looking towards me deliciously while drooling.
Next one is on the right side. Quadruped black haired dog about 5m height. however it's not just a ordinary dog, becuase its have 3 heads. One nody with three heads... I wonder if they are can get along? Maybe a head in the middle is the leader? Because it's throwing up a red flame, you know? But it seems they are concentrated in a single consciousness right now. The all three head drooling unallowable while looking at me. Oh I see, they are thinking of me as food.
And then in the middle is the last one, standing in two legs? A big dragon about 7m height covered in black scale.
... it is a Dragon. Large claws that able to tear up all kinds of thing very easily. And this guy also drooling while looking at me.
It's not limited to this 3 monsters. I have been living in this mountain, a place where monsters are roaming around freely. That's why people avoided this place.
I really... really desperately survived from the death in this mountain.
I mean, I was running from the Imperial city like crazy while crying. I can't think of anything at that time and when I realized it, I was here, in this mountain. I'm trying to get off the mountain but was chased by monsters. I can't predicted the climate changes, My sense of direction all messed up, I was wandering around all over the places.
But, I have survived. I have survived in this harsh environment for two years. This gave me the confidence, just a little bit.
By the way, the three headed dog from earlier is showing its belly after one shot, respectively the three of them taking pose of submission.
Look, I won't eat you... so please don't stare me with such teary eye...
As you can see, the monsters here are weak. So weak as it's possible for ordinary townspoeple like me to defeated it.
Only their number is large. You will find another weak monster after walking few steps. After these two years, there wasn't any monsters can win against me any more. As I said a short while ago, only their number is large.
Even if it's piece a cake in 1-on-1 battle, when they attacked in group the degree of danger rising remarkably. Therefore people doesn't want to approach this mountain. Because monsters are attacking in groups here.
Moreover, look at what are sleeping soundly in front of me.
After they are at ease because won't be eaten, we from different race work together to fight some monster that suddenly appeared. Just before, some Fish-like and Cat-like monsters are cooperating to attack me. I was suprised, and unintentionally I--
[You guys! Let's attack it together! Don't let that Fish get away!!]
--told it. After looking each other for awhile they started to move, I don't know whether my words get through to them though.
Well, after living desperately in this mountain for two years, there is only one thing I want to do.
I want to meet people...
I only witnessing majestic nature violence and monsters in this past two years. Also, I just realized it after shouting to these guys, I haven't spoken for a long time...
That's why, right now I want to meet people, I want to make conversation by any means!!!
So I made up my mind! Let's get off the mountain!!
I already familiar with the mountain, I can say it's like my garden now so it's impossible to lost.
Thus I was descended with the intent to meet people in my mind.
While misunderstood about various things about this Mountain...
