Will opened his eyes and looked around, like usual Elizabeth and her husband left him alone, leaving a note carved on tree bark.
-It has been a month since we left the village, your bones should be healed by now, although you might still feel some pain. Don't go anywhere, when we get back my husband wants to introduce himself-
Reading this note, Will couldn't help but to shake his head, "Luckily the predators nearby are scared of their lingering aura, otherwise I would have already became a meal"
Will sat up from his straw mattress as he thought back to his potion issue.
"I really need to get my hands on a creature, or part of a creature that carries the dragon bloodline in order to make my strength enhancement potion work"
Although another powerful creature would work, he has settled on using the bloodline of the dragon as his main ingredient, he doesn't want to use another creature unless he has too.
His main concern was quality, if the quality is low, he has to use more mental energy which means passing out would be expected, unless he waits until he can handle it.
He doesn't want to wait, so he needs a high quality main ingredient, he needs to power up as soon as possible.
Looking at his surroundings, Will still couldn't believe how large the trees in this world were, at least how large the trees in this forest are.
The smallest tree could be circled by ten fully grown adult men!
That is in no way a small tree!
At least in his old world.
If the trees are this size, Will wondered how large the world is?
Ten times?
One hundred times?
Maybe even one thousand times the size of Earth?
That's a lot of adventuring to do, a lot of places to hide from the people that want to hunt him, although he can't hide from the heavens, he can still prolong his life in the vast wilderness when he gets there.
His only concerns are the beasts, as far as he is concerned, any living being in this world would try to kill him instantly when they discover he is a rejected.
He imagined being chased by a common bird, and by swarms of mosquitos.
He started to laugh at that very funny and annoying thought.
'I might need to make a permanent bug repelling potion, if that's even possible'
Looking around he frowned slightly, 'Speaking of mosquitos, I haven't had to deal with bugs since I got into the forest as far as I remember'
Will was getting concerned, even if the aura of the two scare off powerful predators, would the usually stubborn insects really stay away as well?
Especially since in this world, the mosquitos should be even more stubborn than the ones on earth..
There was something strange going on, and he was a little scared to encounter some creature.
He is not even a match for a child of this world currently.
How can he fend for himself in his current state!?
Although he was reluctant, he was gradually attracted to a certain area of the forest.
From the direction he was getting this feeling from, a wisp of a very ancient aura gradually spread outwards.
This aura made his face brighten up, he could tell instinctively that it is a very important ingredient for him!
Standing up, Will stretched as he started to slowly and cautiously head over to the origin of the aura.
His curiosity was growing in leaps and bounds.
Walking through the undergrowth, Will's face started to get a little sore.
Every branch and leaf would whip back and hit him in the face!
Will gritted his teeth as he held back the urge to swear.
'The whole world's against me!'
Resting at the base of an ancient tree, Will looked up at the massive branches above weaving together as if they wish to block out all the sunlight.
"I wonder what it would be? Why do I feel a pull, as if it's something I need to collect?"
….
Three hours later, Will was standing at the boundary of a clearing, his jaw hitting the floor.
In the center of the clearing was a dying snake with stubby wings growing from its back.
'It's a f*cking snake that is evolving into a dragon! The dragon bloodline does exist in this world!'
Looking at the snake breathing its last breath, Will looked off into the distance as if he was trying to see into the void.
'I am starting to think I am the main character in a story, and the author is a sadist, why else would the author make the whole world my enemy?'
Shaking his head he cleared that ridiculous thought from his mind.
What's more important is to collect the snake's body or at least part of it!
It is I the author!
I am currently at a friend's house right now, there is no internet so I had to find a spot where I could get cell service and use my hotspot.
I didn't get to type a chapter yesterday because I was hanging with my friend.
I took the chance to type this when he was sleeping, otherwise I would be stuck in a game of Magic The Gathering. Haha
Feedback helps!
Will waited outside the clearing for the snake to die as he kept checking for what just fought the snake.
There was a nice gouge on the underbelly of the snake, with crimson blood painting the grass red.
He watched as the snake looked in his direction.
This caused goosebumps to form on his body as he thought the snake would charge at him.
It wasn't mentioned before but this snake is about ten meters long!
It is not something you could just pin down!
Seeing that the snake showed no signs of moving in his direction Will felt relief.
Will waited for a couple hours until the snake could no longer hold on to it's life.
Slowly walking to the center of the clearing, Will prodded the snake's body with a stick as he watched for enemies.
Seeing that there was no movements from the snake or the surroundings he started to pry scales off of the snake's body.
He collected some of the snake's blood by absorbing it with a piece of cloth from his shirt and wrapping it in leaves.
Through the gouge he could see the snake's gallbladder, "I could use this to make a potion to help with eyesight and other things"
Collecting the gallbladder a fishy smell spread into the air as he wrapped it with leaves and tied it with cloth from his pants.
Smelling the scent from the snake he quickly left the clearing to avoid running into any predators.
Running through the forest the sounds of branches snapping and leaves rustling could be heard as Will moved.
Moving through the path he made on his way to the clearing Will's mind buzzed with excitement.
He gets to make his strength enhancement potion!
Very soon he won't be weaker than this world's children!
'I think I might try a four times strength enhancement potion, I will jump to the four times, I wonder how long I will sleep after making it?'
Even if he has his main ingredients, it doesn't mean he won't faint.
If he makes a stronger potion than any he has made before, even if he has a main ingredient, there is a high chance that he'll faint.
With the snapping of twigs echoing through the surroundings Will kept running as fast as he could.
He was worried that a scarier creature will be attracted by the smell of the snake's gallbladder!
One thing he forgot though, is that when a predator hears or sees something running, they'll definitely be attracted.
Plus, there is also the smell of the snake's gallbladder.
Several trees behind the sprinting Will collapsed followed by an earth-shaking roar!
It was what he hoped wouldn't happen!
Bursting out of the trees behind him, a massive beast that looked like an oversized lion with flames leaping out of it's mane charged towards Will.
"F*uuck!"
Sprinting as fast as he could, Will quickly ran out of breath.
Not to mention on earth he was a lazy *ss who sat around a lot.
In this world he can't even beat a child!
Now there is a lion from this world chasing him!
Considering the strength of the lifeforms of this world he is definitely dead meat since this lion came up!
In not even ten seconds the lion moved twenty meters and appeared a meter behind him!
He could feel the hot breath of the lion blowing against his back!
Enduring the feeling of the branches and leaves whipping against his face, Will jumped into a small raving that appeared beside him.
Rolling into the ravine Will rolled several meters until he splashed into shallow water.
Looking up, he wiped mud from his face as he looked at the lion that jumped towards him.
Will's body froze as he braced himself for his death, he was to tired to move anymore.
As the lion's body lifted off of the ground, the edge of the ravine vibrated gently, the leaves on the ground in the surroundings stirred in a non existent wind as they flew into the air, creating a colorful cloud of leaves that swarmed towards the lion.
As the leaves wrapped up the lion like a cocoon, Will was shaking with awe.
"What just happened!?"
Standing up as he staggered slightly, he tried to catch his breath.
Watching the cocooned lion his eyes widened as the leaves scattered while flame burst out of the cocoon.
A roar that shook the forest burst out from the cocoon as the lion broke free and looked at Will with enraged eyes.
"It wasn't me, don't look at me like that!"
Will shouted in a moment of fear as he watched the lion jump towards him again.
A wind picked up out of nowhere as the trees in the surroundings started to shake as leaves fell off of the branches.
Very quickly a green cloud of leaves formed and swarmed towards the lion again.
The now green, cocoon twitched several times as the lion tried to break free, smoke escaped from the between the leaves.
After several minutes the struggling came to an end as a sickening sound of bones and flesh tearing echoed throughout the surroundings.
The leaves left and reconnected to the trees they came from, leaving behind a bloody pulp.
Watching the events that unfolded in front of him, Will was extremely frightened.
'What did I just step into?'
It is I , the author!
Sorry about not posting that many chapters, when I was at my friend's house we suddenly went camping. Haha
So I obviously didn't bring my laptop.
I am trying to get back onto my schedule, so I apologize for any inconveniences!
Feedback helps!
