Tales from Southern Lunterra (Waldo's POV Pt.2) - a WorldBox Story

Previously on TFSL.

It was a refreshing feeling. He could hear the birds chirping and some other animal noises. Cool air brushed through his face as he slowly opened his eyes. Logically speaking he should be in a hospital given that he survived the accident, but why the heck is he in the middle of a forest? Is this real life or is this just fantasy? He laughed as he almost started to sing Bohemian Rhapsody until a prompt came to his mind...

"What the heck is this? I thought that this only happens in those fictional manhwa stories. First of all let me check my body. Hmmm. Seems everything is fine. I really thought that I'd be a meat paste. Well, at least that child is safe... I'm glad that I'm alive but everything in this place is weird..." said Waldo in a doubtful expression while looking at the flickering transparent blue green screen in front of him.

The environment was familiar but there was something different in the atmosphere. The grass for example where he previously laid on was pale yellow green and has peculiar spade-shaped leaves. He walked to a nearby tree and noticed that the trunk was edgy compared to normal trees which are circular. Looking once again in his surrounding he realized that most things are edgier compared to those found in earth. Don't bother with the vegetation even the clouds in the sky seemed to be a bit pixelated through his eyes. But this didn't last long something was changing and he had no idea what it was but he was sure something was definitely happening around him.

After some time the grass that was spade-shaped that had metallic shine to it looked normal. The trees were just the way they were supposed to be as if the environment adjusted to his preferred form. Although there's still some lingering sense of unfamiliarity it was better than what he first saw right after opening his eyes.

Waldo surveyed his surroundings while planning his next course of action. He felt his lips slightly drying so he decided to find a water source. After searching for more than an hour he stumbled upon a creek, the cleanest one he have seen in his two lives. Although there appeared to be no problem with the water source he still looked around him, searching for anything suspicious. People might say that this guy was very distrustful but what could they expect. His experiences in earth tempered him this way since he was young, and aside from being an outcast of society most of the time this characteristic brought him more benefits particularly in his survival.

Not far from his position he saw a pair of rabbit like animals drinking water near the banks, which was a green light that the water was safe to consume. The past hour was quite the torture. He noticed that it's more tiring to walk this place than normal. He used to climb mountains alone for hours but it could not be compared to what he just experienced. Although the forest breath was refreshing it seemed like his stamina was draining faster. Quenching his thirst he noticed that rabbit like creatures not far from him. They were double the size of your common European rabbit but the major difference was that they have 2 pairs of ears instead of one. Their furs were greenish brown in color and the faces were quite uglier than the ones in earth. The appearance was like a hybrid between a typical rabbit and a boar. He was flabbergasted until a sound ring through his mind.

Choosing 'Yes' for an answer a translucent screen appeared in front of him.

Name: Babbit
Attack: 3
Agility: 15
Intelligence: 5
Description: Peaceful Inhabitants of Southern Lunterra and one of the weakest creatures of Digong forest. They usually travel in pairs. Their meat is staple for some lower rank predators. Multiply very fast.

Waldo blinked his eyes. It was near noon and he could already feel the rumbling of his stomach.

" So, God didn't forsake me afterall ", he murmured. He then turned his attention to the pair of Babbits worrying that they might escape his watch. What he saw made his mouth wide opened for some time. Muchi, muchi said of what appeared to be the female Babbit mounted under the larger male one.

"No doubt, they indeed multiply fast. But what the heck are those sounds they're producing? The GOD who made these things seems to be a man of culture. Eh?"

While watching the Babbits did their thing like JAV artists, Waldo noticed the tall bush behind them moving. It was huge. The creature that appeared looked like a Labrador in purplish coat. It had a set of sharp fangs and a small horn protruding on it's forehead. A tiny flicker came from the tiny horn and the pair of Babbits fell down, paralyzed. The creature picked up both of it's prize and looked over the place where Waldo was. They made an eye contact. It might be just an imagination but Waldo felt that there was a smug look plastered on the creature's face. It turned around and slowly disappear within the tall bushes.

"System, what is that thing?" Waldo mumbled.
