《Different World with Save and Load: A Horror Story》Chapter 4 Meat
Advertisement
I woke up. When I open my eyes I saw sky, a light blue sky, with clouds lazily drifting towards destinations unknown. I could smell the fresh mourning air. It energized me. Such clean air, I was never much for hiking or going to the countryside but I could now understand a little of why people spend so much time on those sorts of hobbies. When I focused my eyes the green trees came into view, tall and sturdy. Leaves the shape of rhombuses, I don’t think I ever saw trees such as those before. Then a voice, a mechanical voice, an unfeeling voice broke me out of my contemplation.

Then I felt pain, like someone is trying to split my brain in twain. It pulsed just under my skin, first to the left, then to right, and then across going from my right eye to the left backside of my skull. It kept going for probably a minute or two but felt like this is all I ever felt in my life. Then it stopped.

Never mind, the previous time all I felt was pain. Now it felt like I was being branded all over my body with a hot iron. I felt my soul, if I could even feel that, sizzling.

Imprinting successful, basic connection established.
Entry into fairy database confirmed…
Resuming background operation.
The voice stopped. I’m pretty sure I almost pissed myself. Luckily I lost most of the water to sweat from the first “error correction”. Goddamn it, why did I pick that door. Now I’m drenched and I can feel the cool breeze attempting to invade my bones. I wish someone would save me, fat chance of that happening though.
Command accepted, saving world state…
Save complete.
Okay am I going crazy or did I just hear another voice. I sit up and swivel my head. I see nothing but trees around me. I seem to be in a small clearing in this forest.
*achoo*
Fuck, I need warmth. I’m not going to die from a fucking cold in the middle of a random forest after coming back from the dead. I get my drenched and quickly cooling body off the grassy dirt. Shivering I look around. I need a fire, for that I need branches. I take my first step towards the shadowy forest.
*growl*
God I fucking hate dogs.
Slowly I turn around and what greets me is not a dog in any sense of the word. Its fur gristles with mourning dew, the teeth reflect the mourning light as blood drips from them. It’s a huge creature, at least as big as a horse. It’s standing over a dead something, looking like a bear sized deer. I guess I got used to the blood smell while I met god. There is no overwhelming smell of piss and rot here so I guess the pain I felt covered up this beasts kill.
The wolf eyes me, almost considering. It smacks its lips, or teeth I guess, a few times. Then it walks around its kill towards me. I guess I know the decision it came too. I see it tense its legs. I reach for my sidearm, steadily. Like I am trying to take out identification for a cop from my side pocket.

Once I reach the gun I whip it out and fire blindly in the direction of the flying wolf.
It seems I hit it since it veers off slightly, hitting my left arm instead of my throat. It bites down.
“ARRRGGGGGGGG…..”
I can hear my bones being crushed from the inside of my body. This is almost as bad as that fucking “error correction”. Fuck me. I need to re…
The wolf flexes its jaws, like it’s sawing though my arm, interrupting my thoughts.
“FUCKING MUTT” I scream as snot and tears run down my face. We are lying down on the floor of the forest now. The beasts paw on my chest. Pressing me down, trying to rip my arm off me.
I try to think again.
… load my gun. Fucking dog…
Command accepted, loading world state…
Load complete.
I look up, I see sky, a light blue sky.

World Story: Biographies of Extraordinary People
Important note: I’d like to thank Dr. Buller for their advice on dialogue by their critical review. And I’m on a one-month break to post the first revised chapters on Scribble Hub. Please stay tuned! Even in faraway worlds, every folk had a story, and monsters came in numerous shapes and sizes. However, heroes never existed in this otherworld. Even the most idealistic understood this deep within. But as they abandoned their humanity at times, they quickly regained it. It was not that they became human again. They always were. So what happened when the monster devoid of humanity appeared? Well, the “heroes” sought to slay it at all costs either way, lest it would be the end of their stories. A portal/isekai fantasy that I wanted to deconstruct some elements within. Expect a whole ton of references and dialogue because I’ll deliberately write it more like a light novel. The last thing to consider is that Japanese names in my novel will come with kanji/hiragana characters within parentheses. The same goes for any other derived from non-Latin writing systems. It’s because none of the names I write will be accidental or random. They’ll all have meaning. New chapters Monday to Thursday at 11:00 PM (GMT+8), though sometimes I can’t. Credit for the cover art goes to HWPerfidy. She’s a freelance artist on this site, and I’d love anyone who shows her support.
