《Joe in medieval fantasy world》V1 - Chapter 1: I’ll get that bastard!
Advertisement
In the plains where waist size grasses grows almost beyond to horizon. A figure of man sleeping soundly in the grassy plains, ignoring the sounds of beasts running, flying, crawling and fighting each other.
This plain covers almost the north side of Asili Continent. For a reason that will be reveal later, this land is roam by monsters and a paradise habitat of almost non-humanoid livings or creatures.
Then suddenly a beast walked cautiously to the sleeping man, looking cautiously to the left, then right, then top, and then to back. Why this beast was overly cautious? It’s because there are a lot of disturbances in the area and the beast is a very over cautious one.
After the beast reaches the sleeping man, it begins to sniffs then licks his face. But the sleeping man does not react at all. He just shows no reaction to the beast’s sleep-disturbing moves.
After few minutes of sniffing and licking, the beast eats the grass until its stomach is full. Then it feels a sudden surge in its body. That’s right the CALL of NATURE.
The beast does the CALL of NATURE pose beside the sleeping man’s face. Then, it concentrates in his bottom to release the ultimate curse of all time. The damaging product of CALL OF NATURE is slowly but surely forming a shape like a cake besides the poor man’s face.
The beast feels like in heaven after his release like it solves every problem that resides in his body. Then the beast walks away.
Joel was sleeping soundly but disturb by the very odorous perfume. He thinks that it’s just a strong perfume. When the very odorous smell freely enters his hairy nostrils for few seconds, his brain shouts that this is not perfume anymore.
Then he slowly opens his eyes. Finding only a big ass deer like creature in Call-of-Nature position. At first he does not believe it. But when the view becomes clearer and clearer, the vein popping in his head grows bigger.
‘This guy is asking to shorten his life.’ He thought while silently clenching his fists.
What he sees in front of him is a golden-colored big ass deer like creature. It have tree branch like horns sprouting from his left and right forehead which is use for ramming enemies. Then he recalls the deer’s identity from his knowledge obtained from True God. A pop-up window appears.
Name: Mischevusa Deer
Oddity: Abnormal
Level: 20
Skill:
Consume Mana Rage [Experienced Level]
- A mischievous deer that pranks other sleeping creatures. It absorbs mana from prank victims through their anger. Can cause mana deficiency syndrome and may leads to death. Better be careful.

Ram hit [Master Level]
- Using the horns to hit the enemy greatly. There’s a chance that the enemy will die instantly depending on his stats.
‘Wow a pop-up window!. This is really happening!’ he thought.
Joel is amaze because of the pop-up window, not from the description of the deer. Then he recalls in his knowledge that this world has game like features, like pop-up windows and ranking system. Before he thinks deeper about this world, he needs to find a way for the current situation his facing right now. An unexpected and a ridiculous event at the same time.
An out-of-the-other fantasy novels situation.
The deer calmly walks away from the scene of the crime to enrage the half-sleeping man. Joel tries to calm himself, as the description said about its skill. He knows that this deer is abnormal. He needs to find a way to escape but first things first, the odor issue. He tries to stop his breath but it only lead to more problems. Then he tries to breathe slowly, as to minimize the bad odor while inhaling the air and slowly rolling away from the crime scene.
'I'm not an idiot that tries to kill that Abnormal with my current self. This is not manga or novel. This is reality!'. He thought.
He remembers those manga or novel situations where the MC successfully or barely kills an overpowered enemy then gain some benefits and sometimes OP powers. However, this time this is reality and he’s weak. Logically speaking, he has zero winning chance against the abnormal monster in front of him. So to enable to see tomorrow, a tactical retreat is the only option in his situation. Even he wants to kill that bastard right here right now. He is just being realistic here.
Then the deer notice something wrong. It glanced to the spot where the half-sleeping man should be staying. But only found its poop in a cake shape and freshly baked. It expects that the man should be angry or even give chase. The deer expects to absorb that man’s delicious mana through anger. But now its prey is gone.
The deer runs back to the spot then looks from left then right. Looking in the spot for several times but he can’t find a trace as the grasses in the plains are overgrown everywhere. Perfect for crawling *cough* rolling.
Then the deer start its search-and- kill action by running towards north.
Joel is currently rolling away in the overgrown grasses for 30 seconds then he crawls south of the spot where he slept. He chooses to roll than to crawl because rolling is faster than crawling. He do not choose to run or chase the deer as it only leads to his death.

He chooses to crawl towards south because the deer is facing south before. He did this because he wants to confuse his enemy and his location. The enemy now is running north because it expects that his prey will escape towards the opposite direction. But Joel uses some kind of tactical retreat to confuse that bastard deer. His tactical retreat is effective and able to escape his death.
“That was close. If I lose my cool, the world will lose a man named Joel.”
While Joel is crawling, he thinks about the deer and this world. This world is Infanadah with game-like features. Then he recalled the Mischevusa Deer and its oddity level Abnormal, meaning that beast is more or less equal to level 100 of its normal kind. The oddity level is a kind of division that separates the normal ones from stronger ones.
There are three oddity levels namely: Normal, Abnormal and lastly is Badass, each division multiplies its strength by 10.
A ‘level 1 Badass’ has more or same power as ‘level 100 Abnormal’ while ‘level 1 Abnormal’ has same or more power as level 10 Normal. This only applies to monsters.
It’s like level 10 Normal
And who invent or categorize this? the author? *cough* *cough*it’s the World’s system.
World system, just like it says it provides and manages the information and system rules of all things in Infanada, what a convenient system. It is like computer software that helps users to automate their manual works like management, monitoring, auto-process and many more.
Joel thinks about the fantasy novels where the MC can open his stat window. Then he tries to open his status by saying ‘open’, ‘profile’, ‘character open’, ‘status’, ‘skills’, and any related words, but nothing pops up or displays. Then he remembers how the window displays about the deer earlier. He uses something instinctively and that's mana. This world is filled with mana to perform magic and other things. And one of those things is to display your current status.
He uses mana while saying ‘status’ then a window shown in front of him together with his skills.

‘Wow, nice’. He thought.
As to why [Identify] gets to master level? It’s due to [World Knowledge] he obtain from True God before. The [Identify] skill is hard to level up because it takes time to learn and master it. Commonly used for trading so only merchants can benefit this skill at the moment.
The window also displays three titles.

‘*Whistle* “Nice…. Three titles acquired due to asking for knowledge, now that’s a first”
While Joel is busy with his crawling and reading business, the deer is looking and running nonstop in the grassy plains. It couldn’t believe that there’s a creature that can outwit him and that creature is a lowly weak hairless monkey. Well, the deer thinks its monkey because they are in the grassy wild plains, away from human civilization. It means that the beast, the deer, never ever encounter humans before, monkeys only. (SFX: Monkey screams).
The deer cause havoc in the grass plains because it cannot find the hairless monkey. The normal and lower level bird creatures flew away. And land beasts running away from the rampaging deer who can’t find his prey.
‘Next time hairless monkey…next time’ [Mischevusa Deer’s thought]
While Joel is busy reading his status, he hears a commotion from north. While he crawls looking back to the sounds of commotion, not watching the front, he hits his head on the rock in front of him.
“Awww awwww awwww” he shouts painfully in low voice while holding his head and rolling around like a Ferris wheel. Then he remembers the face or to be exact the big ass of the deer.
Both of them mutter or curse to each other, and then they said or thought at the end.
“I’ll get that bastard!!”

However, there are several moments that are extremely violent. I've always loved shows/movies such as, (The Expanse, The Boys, Banshee, Kingdom of heaven, Vikings, Attack on Titan, Baccano, etc.) I am descriptive of the scenes with violence. So be warned :) I've worked long and hard and have finally finished my third draft. Still needs work but everything storywise is complete. There are still a few things I need to add and tweak. Grammatical errors and flushing out the characters and dialogue still needs work. If you see any errors or plot holes, please feel free to point them out. It helps me improve upon the story.
