Chapter 3: Blown away.

Since I was almost died when chased by the huge wolf, I have lost track to where the cave was.

Before I realized it, the sky had turned dark and the sun replaced by the bright moon. As for the reason, I've become melodramatic so suddenly... I AM TERRIBLY LONELY!!

After the event where I helped the wolf, not only did 'it' not show any gratitude towards me. It also became hostile to me. I wandered around but I never saw any other living things. I did hear some noises underground, though; maybe it was the earthworms or moles.

Eventually, I got bored and wandered aimlessly inside this thick forest.

4 hour later…

I’m way too bored. I wandered aimlessly while raising my children [skills] and all are growing up well. I even raised my fool dance skill because I got nothing better to do. I wondered if there will be another wind that will blow me away.

I’m sorry that I always complained but I really hoped that there will be something that can make my life colorful again.

After all, I couldn’t sleep because no matter what I do, I don’t feel tired. A weed doesn’t eat so it doesn’t shit. As a weed, I also don't need to bath. As a damn weed, I don’t have friends to talk to.

I NEED A DAMN ****ING THINGS TO DO!!!

…

I give up! No matter what I do, there is nothing going my way. I feel as if my world is upside down right now. Hm? Oh, hahaha it wasn’t my world going upside down but I was the one that perched downward the tree branch like a bat.

Hmm? What is that? Something flying really fast toward my direct--- UWAWAWA!! WHAT THE HECK?!

-Bump!-

Ouch! I fell on my butt! That's if I had any. Just kidding, please forgive me just this once because my mental state was not stable for now. But that seriously was dangerous if I didn’t let go my roots off the branch.

That thing just now what was it, it is all bloody too. Truly destroying my peaceful day.

Despite complaining, I couldn’t wash away my smiling face, if I had any.

Hop! Hop! Hop! I have been jumping for a while now to raise my new skill as I hop toward the direction that thing goes.

SCREEEECHHHH!!!!

Pain oh~ the pain~ Urgh… What was that all about?! It feels like someone scratching a car or blackboard with chalk. I felt my body went limp. I crawled with all my energy towards the sound’s direction.

SCREEEECHHHH!!!!

I crawled to the sound’s direction…

OH F***ING SHUT IT UP!! I can’t even move forward!

SCREEE---

40 minutes later.

Was that really 40 minutes later? I feel like 4 years passed. If only I could turn off this enhanced hearing of mine. It is a good skill and I don’t want to throw it away since it is like my child but I really would like to make it sleep for a little while. Is what I had in my mind yet there is no other way but to withstand the pain. At least when the resistance level up, I feel less pain now.

The screeching sound is still there and loud yet it slowly becomes endurable.

As I walked closer to the direction of the sound, a sight of a cave was seen. If I’m not wrong, this is the same cave that I stumbled upon after getting blown by the storm for the first time ever.

To make sure out of my doubt, I walked faster.

And yeah, it is indeed the cave.

SCREEEEECHHH!!!!

『Skill Announcement: Heresy Resistance LV 9 has maxed out. Skill evolve into Heresy Nullity LV 1』

Wow… How nice. I no longer feel sick even after hearing the screeching sound close up.

Little did I know what I will meet inside the cave but the mystery is a thrill and for the first time, I am happy for the risk that I will have to confront.

「--w—re—ou… 」

Hm? Did I just heard something?

「Wh—re---ou---」

Yes? Who was that speaking? E-h, there is someone speaking?! WHO! WHO ARE YOU!! LET ME MEET YOU PLEASE!!!!

「Who are you?」

AH? I—I can’t talk! I don’t have a mouth! I’m sorry but I really want to know who you are!!

I rushed straight into the cave. Since it’s dark, I couldn’t see clearly but somehow the owner of the voice's silhouette was very similar to a human? As I get closer, I get the gist of its physical and hope it is what I think it is.

「You don’t have to talk, neither was there a need to ask forgiveness but I must ask for your help, stranger because I am in a dire state. You can speak your mind since I can read it. 」

Is that so? Then, I may as well tell you, my---

UWAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!

D-dd-dddddddd—DRACULA!!!!

「Oh? You know my race? Aren’t you a newborn plant type monster? 」

Sob-sob D-d-d-d—don’t eat me, I’m not delicious. I’m all weed, see? I have no blood, I have no nutrient, I---

「I will not eat you, please do not be afraid of me. I’m all nice, see? Although I am all bloody. 」

R-really? Won't you eat me?

「Yes, right now I really need your help, please. 」

I stuttered before taking a good look at the paled looking man.

What kind of help? I’m really weak as you can see.

「I don’t really think you are as weak as you say since you were born in one of the 8 greatest forests. Although the population in this forest is lesser than other forests, it proof that the monsters are all strong. 」

One of the great forest eh… Since you think I can do it then I think I can do it too. So what kind of help do you need?

「Here, take this ring. This is a space ring, I want you to follow my blood track until its end, and there you will meet a group of unicorn carcasses. Just think in your mind that you want to suck in all the carcasses inside the ring, and then it is all done. When you are done, please return the ring to me. I’m on the verge of dying.」

Oh… The unicorn was it, it’s a magical holy beast, right? Hmm… What do I get helping you?

「Anything you could ever want, I have palace, wealth, slave, authority. Anything, just please help me.」

If he is saying the truth, I could ask for anything but there are too many things I want.

I think for a long time before saying it shyly. After all, it is the only thing I ever wanted since I born into this world.

Can you be my friend?

「Ha? 」

I only want one thing. Friend.

「There is many things you could have, just ask. There wasn’t a limit at all. 」

Then, please be my friend. It has already been 5 days since I born but I am lonely… Will you be my friend?

「If that what you want, sure. I will tell you my name and you will tell me your name as proof of our friendship, only after you done helping me. 」

Mm! Hehe, I will go now!!

After nodding furiously like chick pecking on grains, I ran as fast as I can following the blood track.

I hope there will be no God pranking me right now with a hellish wind blowing because I am on an important mission which will change my future!

You can do what you want but DO NOT BLOW ME AWAY! GOT THAT?!

Here I go, my first friend!!!
