《Chapter#3: Experience of the first disaster》

  At some point the ground started trembling. The old man was exiting from the room.

  I asked,"Where are you going?".

  "Isn't it obvious kid? To deal with that",the old man said.

  "To deal with that thing!!!", I exclaimed.

  "Don't worry, you are new so you don't know the rules. You can't survive if you are not safe enough unless you are under someone's or some sort of protection", the old man explained then exited the room.

  We were sitting close to eachother. In this unknown place we only have ourselves.

  "Don't worry it's gonna be fine...I guess",Bota said. Even though he was visually the most coward among us, he tried to make us calm.

  I grabbed them both by shoulder and we made a round formation.

  (...)

  A deep shadow from the horizon was nearing the room. A creature size of a house was coming closer and closer. The life forms were escaping from here as if the eclipse has came itself. Even the dinosaur like creatures were running as if there existence was that of an ant.

  The thing was so strange that 'it' was even hard to think of such a thing. 'It' had a ebony skin that can be compared to coal. 'It' was nothing like the humans of underworld has seen before. 'It' had pipe like tentacles growing from the place where should have been eyes. 'It' had strange rots all over its body. Veil like liquid was sipping out from those tentacles. 'It' had pus like thick liquid dripping from its body. 'It' didn't have lips. There was a hole in the place of mouth and there were countless. 'It' didn't have fully formed legs but similar organisms and nothing like hands or so. Despite of not having eyes it felt like 'it''s senses were better working than average eyes.

  When it was almost 20 meters from the room, it suddenly stopped like 'it' has sensed something. A considerably tall man with deep brown eyes and short hair with a muscular body was standing in front of 'it'.

  The old man's eyes were different from before. Like it was observing the very existence of the creature. If his pupils are observed carefully, an orb of darkness can be seen there too.

  "It's a Knight of deep pit I see. Not some low level knight. It can be called an elite of royal knights if addressed properly"

  'it' moved it's tentacles to attack the old man. It was as fast as the bullets that can break the sound barrier. But the old man dodged it pretty easily. One after another sonic strikes were coming and being dodged. The ground was trembling, like the very strikes are displacing the tectonic plates and causing an earthquake.

  We were terrified by that constants sonic booms. The atmosphere was getting hotter. Without even needing to hear any chanting or seeing any holographic ruins or floating symbols, our eyes were tightly closed and our hands were grubbing the ears tightly so that we couldn't even hear anything other than our heart beats. We were almost kneeling on the floor.

  (...)

  After being unable to hit the old man, the creature opened the whole which was supposed to be mouth, 'it' raised it's trunk like it was preparing for the next move.

  "That's as far as you go". The old man said with an unfathomable tone.

  His voice was different from before as if it possessed an enormous amount of pressure itself. The body of the old man started to glow with darkness. None might have eever imagined that darkness can glow like this too. Ripples spread in the air near the hand of the old man like the reality itself was being rippled because of the existence of the old man. A large scythe which looked like it was a combination between pith black stone and pure glowing metal was brought into existence from the ripples. It had many shimmering stones fitted in it. It was like a masterpiece made by the greatest weapon Smith of existence. It has a glowing sharpness which can only be achieved if it was sharped flawlessly every day for hundreds of years if not thousands. The old man dashed forward with the scythe in his hand. A loud sound akin to a large thunder clap was heard. The air around the two creatures got berserk and the ground was like praying it's last prayers before complete annihilation. And the moment the scythe touched the creatures main body the area got blanked.

  (...)

  Every second was like eternity for us. We were hopping the disaster would spare us. After don't know how many minutes, we felt the atmosphere got lighter, the temperature was going normal, the trembling of the ground has stopped. Someone tapped us gently on the shoulder. We slowly opened our eyes and saw the old man standing beside us. His white Cape got dirtier by don't know what type of liquid. There was no harm. He didn't get hurt not even a single scratch anywhere at this moment we realised something.

  (What sort of monster I am looking at that not even a disaster could put a single scratch on his body?)

  Bota thought, 'What is he?'

  Stan thought, 'Is it even possible for a single human to even survive a mere second infront of a disaster that can make earthquake?'.

  They all imidiatly understood that the real world was no joke and neither its dwellers.

  "It's safe now. You guys can rest".

  We were going to ask something then suddenly the moonlight banished and darkness descended. We got surprised. The room was enlightened with a single lamp like tool and we can barely see eachother. We looked in the direction of the Oldman tensely.

  "Don't worry it the dark phase. It's not a bad news. But you should sleep now cause If you stay wake it will passively infect you with ailments over time",the old man said.

  We imidiatly laid down on our previous beds and shut our eyes and fall asleep without any question. Because in this unknown place question was meaningless and we can't do anything but abide the advises of the old man who was our savior.

  (...)

  The next day by our logic when light sipped out in the room. We opened our eyes and sat on the bed.

  "So our world was basically a round shaped marvel inside a gigantic foot ball or so huh? It's so strange that I can't even believe it. But also I would never forget the hellish experience I had yesterday ", Stan said.

  "Please bro don't make me remember again", Bota said while hugging his shoulders tightly.

  "Guys we can't go back to our world. But it's not like we have any intension to go back anyway. We left our homes to explore the unknown and we got the chance. What a luck right?", I said with a smile.

  "Yeah you are right. Let's explore this damn real world".Bota and Stan said together.

  I smiled back to them.

  "That's the spirit boys. I like it. Adaptability is one of the greatest abilities", the old man said with a smile.

  "Thank you for you're generosity and also really thank you for saving us. I know words are not enough to show our gratitude", I said the old man respectfully.

  "Don't worry guys you guys will definitely pay me back someday", the old man smirked.

  We laughed because of the humorous tone.

  "You are having your good time huh"

  A voice came from near the entrance of the room. Someone was surely standing on the door. Our gaze lowered unconsciously. It was like even seeing the person was dare for us lowly beings.

  At this moment I felt like something worst than yesterday's disaster was standing there. I stood on my place without even daring to move any body part of mine even an inch.
