Leon dumbfounded
Gulp
"What the MAHH... Where in the world am I?" It was the first sentence Leon muttered to himself when he appeared out of nowhere
When Leon open his eyes, he feels the weird sensations in his surrounding a cold wind that blows from east to west and a creeps noise in his surrounding chirping non-stop that he was shivering from his backbone down to his leg, Leon didn't know how he reacts of what he was witnessing in front of him.
The only things he remembers was after he left from the grocery store, he takes a shortcut in a narrow street, where mostly gangster are hanging around often. He was not scared of them. Instead, they respect him cause no matter what others say to them. He interacts casually, and disdain cannot see in Leon's eyes. He got this charismatic aura of being ordinary yet different maybe he can describe as a good person. For some reason, he became the idol of youth in their neighborhood. Leon still does not have a girlfriend, even his friend teasing him to make a girlfriend he has no interest at all, and he only wants to read the novel, play latest games.
So he is kinda dumb when it comes to girls feelings though he made a close relationship them somehow he gave a vibe feelings to girls like "Friend" this reason may because of his good nature. Leon can be described as a pretty young man with his delicate curve jaw and nose then, add his phoenix eyes and short hair black that always covered by his eyeglass. Despite this, Leon is not so famous at his school though somehow he was often stared by girls with their heart shape eyes, he did not stand out too much and usually avoided many crowded people, he was just my pace person.
(Friend zone= means being dumped while you are confessing to the person you like)
While he was walking down this path and he heard a stone dropping to the floor and rolling in front of his foot and when he is about to grab it the light has suddenly appeared from it that almost blinded him.
Then after he opens his eyes, his eyeballs almost pump out from his eyes, he was standing in the middle of nowhere where trees and a roar of some unknown magical beast that can only hear like it was roaring all the corner of the place, he did not know whether to laugh or cry. He was only buying his grocery, you know.
Ohh God of all people who want to be ordinary why you still choose me.
He sighs so long and almost found himself out of breath of his misfortune, but the facts of what he was seeing are breathtaking scenery, and the only things that left with him were the food that he buys from the grocery store then, himself. He was like a pitiful child lost to his brother/sister after snatching all his food from the table only spoon and plate are left behind.
Leon became speechless.
Besides, he forgot his cellphone and felt that even if he has his smartphone, he thought there is no way a signal can detect in the middle of the unknown mystical forest he is.
The forest composed of a wildflower, plant, and weeds that he did not even recognize and a tree that feels like a residence of a giant Cyclops and for some reason he can feels the magical aura of his surrounding and a small lights that twinkling around the forest like an observer for the Intruders
Leon do not know what to do
His ordinary life becomes abnormal; suddenly, every plan and schedule he has for his summer vacation is all ruined by this current situation.
Leon was about to take a step when he heard a noise from the woods scratching from the grass that seems about to go out, his body automatically poses in a defensive position and his heart skip a beat, and it almost jumps out from his body and screaming silently he became breathless.
Suddenly a rabbit appear with a white fur and pink color on its legs and arms, also with the little two horns on its head and it has black marble eyes that seem like a deeps color jet black, it also has long and wide ears that almost reach the floor.
While he is observing the little one, he sighs in relief. It indicates that the animal in front of him was nothing but just a little cutie with a big rounded eye. When you look at it, you want to pounce it to death, so many girls will like it, and many girls will be willing to buy this cute creature at any cost.
Leon:" Hey, little one don't scare the shit out of me. I almost also peed on my pants, you know."
The little one was staring at him so innocently with its begging eyes like a child waiting for a piece of candy.
While Leon is staring at it with admiring expression, the little one suddenly releases a terrifying aura on its body and suddenly open its mouth so wide showing it sharp fang and unarranged teeth just like a shark, and then its eyes became a crimson red like it seem so hungry with many years that it starts salivating.
Leon feels that something wrong with the situation, as he sees the aura of black red crimson coming from its body, the little cutie pie you want to pounce because of its adorable appearance become you want to punch and run for your life like a bit of lamb in front of this creature.
Hey, author their wrong in this scenario.
Leon body instinct immediately response after his brain can function again he runs like no tomorrow will come, he feels like a chicken Lechon dancing in front of it and seducing it to come and taste me baby with the feeling of bits salsa sauce Filipino cooking style poured all over his body.
(Chicken Lechon = is a Filipino spit-roasted dish made with chicken marinated in a mixture of garlic, bay leaf, onion, black pepper, soy sauce, and patis or fish sauce)
Grumble grrr... Coming from his tummy
"I feel hungry all of a sudden" but this is not the time for this!
He must find a solution to lose his trail to avoid the chased of the little rabbit beast, Leon does not know whether to laugh or cry for his misfortune.
For some reason he felt like cheated, when he saw the cute little animal that looks like a stuff figurines in his sister collection, then suddenly become a horrifying doll like Chucky in the movie pretending to be herbivore but instead a carnivore who was enjoying killing people's alive like a pig ready to be chop at anytime.
He feels like he learns a crucial lesson in this world.
Ohh, please do not easily trust adorable creature in front of you maybe it will be your fit hole in the underworld, or a beautiful lady seducing you at the street for one night stand to commit adultery in your wife and became a ready meat to butcher after your wife found out that you are cheating on her.
Life not always follows your will.
However, you can always have your choice whether you will go down to a fit hole or stop and do a U-turn.
Leon is running like a madman so desperately, his t-shirt almost unrecognizable like a celebrity who finally broke free from the chaotic of his fans and anti-fans because of pulling and pushing of his clothes trying to strip him naked publicly.
He got this many small leaves and small tree branches on his body. Although the little rabbit beast is good at running, the speed is still be considered as average. After the little rabbit beast released its aura, it became bulky and significant that the weight is gradually becoming heavy to run as faster as Leon and because Leon was a track and field player so his body always in good condition.
Hehe... Though I want to be ordinary, I still do sport.
When Leon look back, he saw a big mushroom that the little rabbit beast is avoiding at any cost then. He started to pick it up as many as he can.
He saw a large stone with a moss that has a color of yellow-green covering it all over and takes a rest on it. The mushroom sprouting from it is the same beast mushroom he started to collect while he was running until his last energy squeeze out from his body. He then relieved from his terror when he finally erased his scent using the mushroom scent and temporary hide behind the massive stone. Then he notices that his surrounding is filled with a thick fog and tall Mushroom Tree that he never sees in his life. He looked at the place where he got out and saw the rabbit beast outside the boundary of the Tall beast Mushroom it was like the beast mushroom tree is preventing the beast inside.
Leon let a sigh in relief.
For the time being, this will be a safe zone, and also for some reason, it not like the beast is afraid of the mushroom tree. Instead, it was like they didn't see the existing massive boundary of the beast mushroom tree.
So mystical, he murmured to his self in awe.
He is very grateful that God still didn't abandon him, his luck good as if he is purposely land near the safe zone. At that time while he is running as he noticed that the mushroom has a liquid in the middle of its head Leon poke a hole on it and apply it all over his t-shirt. He didn't use it directly to his skin as he still did not know what side effect it has so its for safety precaution.
The mushroom has a deep color green from the head with a black fullcadots in it and a light brown from its trunk. While Leon was running, he intentionally runs toward the beast mushrooms that are taken root all over the place. He tries to throw it to the lowe level beast in front of him to test if the magical beast will plead or not. So it was the gamble of his life because if he provokes the magical beast, it many will chase after him.
Then he got the idea.
-----------------------
The little rabbit beast was sniffing it's surrounding trying to track his whereabouts outside the boundary of the tall beast mushroom tree. Fortunately, he already erases his trail by applying the mushroom-like a soap all over his shirt and pants to replace its scent. Luckily, he did not really like a strong odor of perfume and detergent when he was doing his laundry. He still felt that the little rabbit beast is kind strange for some reason, and when it transform, it was different from an ordinary magical beast, he encountered along the way.
He looks at the remaining mushroom he currently has on the sturdy plastic basket. This basket is the only he had and the food inside for his whole week of food budget after transported to this world; he often used this when he was buying food on the grocery store. Luckily, the basket plastic and did not have so much damage, he gladly put the whole mushroom beast here without hesitation while he is running desperately.
He almost cries and says to himself.
"I'm glad I bought this when it was still sale for buy 1 take 1 with 50% off at bodega department store", For some reason, the basket became a hero of his life. he often used this when he is going to the grocery.
"Hehe, I hold it like my life on the line" Leon laughs dryly.
If not for this may be his life must be considered gone long ago because he wouldn't know where he will put all the beast mushroom unto his body and he won't let it go because his food is also here. The stronger the beast mushroom scent and many of it, the more the beast around, will not chase after him. He still would not risk using it directly to his body before he is sifting through it; maybe it has other uses or some side effect.
He sighed again if not for this maybe he won't have emergency food, and it will go to waste his worth of 1-week budget, and perhaps his body became a feasting party of the beast celebratory day.
While Leon is resting, he closed his eyes for a second and as suddenly open it, he saw the strange words written at the right bottom of the massive stone. He cannot understand a thing, so he looks in his surrounding if there are still other written runes that maybe he can use for reference to understand this world.
Then he found a stone that looks like ancient and also found the written runes on it. The stone has a square shape with a height of 175cm and full of moss, he looks at the top down to the bottom. He observes it as when he realized that he still could not understand the runes written on it, then he gives up. However, after that, he saw a separated stone at the left side that full of moss if you didn't observe it, you won't notice the hidden written behind moss.
Leon immediately removes the moss to see what's written on the stone. Then, he was so shocked as he saw the language that translated into English words.
It says, "Thou whom that seek to find sooth of itself shall see his reflection from the glass of truth, that ope the gate of the seeker then, the innocent shall be rewarded and be granted to the right one".
"Is this a riddle to find a treasure? Woah, if this true, then maybe my luck still not running out then, the clue will be on this riddle too."
After Leon realizes this, he started to analyze the riddle phrase by phrase after he finishes then, he begins to move.
Then let us see the first phrase said "Thou whom that seek to find sooth of itself
" If I am not mistaken, it was telling about the meditation of one true self like yoga in my world.
The Second is "shall see his reflection from the glass of truth" he did it mean to reflection from the glass, where can I find things that reflect. Oh! Maybe it was speaking about location then; Then it was only that place.
He immediately goes to the middle of the safe zone area, where the pond is located. Leon is living near the river that why he familiar with the breeze that blows toward him.
Then he arrives, he saw a pond that full of aquatic plants that were floating in the pond, then Leon the side of the pond in one hour, but still cannot see anything and sits at edges of the pond. As he was looking at his reflection in the water, he swung back and fort his legs under the water and then suddenly realize.
"Maybe I needed to meditate in front of the pond just like I do before when we start to practice running."
Then, he starts to sit a full lotus position. First, he closed his eyes and focused his mind to his breathing, then set aside all unnecessary noise from his surroundings. He unconsciously absorbs the spiritual energy bit by bit from his surrounding like a whirlpool that continues flow toward him.
After 2 hours, when he opened his eyes, he feels the energy within him. He felt vigorous, and all his exhaustion left his body. Also, he starts to see and feel the light energy.
"Woah! what is this light is this energy?" while looking in his surround with amazement
After observing his self, he begins to search at the edge of the pond again, and then he saw a reflection of glass jade box that hidden under the water of pond when he opened the box, he saw a scroll about meditation technique that writes in English words.
"Why it was written in English? maybe the person who left came from the earth
However, before he solves the last three clues from the riddle he first needed to take a bath, he starting to feel itchy. He takes off his clothes and starts to take a dip in the pond. This was his first time taking a bath in the middle of the forest. There are no people here, so it okay, and the magical beast will not attack him.
Leon does not stay so long because the water of the pond is so cold that he is gritting his teeth. He washes his clothes and then after that he immediately lit a bone fire to warm his self and to dry his cloth. After he warms his body, he proceeds to solve the 3rd clue.
It says "that ope the gate of the seeker then."
"How can it open the gate?" then he gets the scroll thus, it needs a ritual or something. Then look at the jade box, and take it out he opened the scroll then read it carefully. Later he tries to practice it. He meditates the manuscript scroll.
As he was practicing the manuscript scroll, the ground suddenly rumbles that look like something wants to break free. Leon slowly floats like an expert and absorbing a ridiculous massive spiritual energy towards him.
When he opened his eyes Leon began to feel the spiritual energy and see it floating in every corner of the forest, he saw his self unconsciously leaking a profound turquoise aura, and if someone looked at him, they would feel the atmosphere he was emitting is like a calm lake from the silent of the night.
After observing his body, he began released his aura, and then the aura he was emitting is getting denser little by little. As he released a passage began to show itself to Leon.
"So it required to practice this technique to see the passage of the pond."
He didn't idle too much; he immediately dives down the passage of the pond. When he reaches the end of the lake, he swims upward. He gasps his breath and lifts his head to look around. He saw a tall door that looks like the last boss door of the dungeon in the games.
"Gulp...there is no way a beast monster is living behind that door right?" he muttered to himself, he notices a wheel beside the door then. For some reason, the wheel is emitting black crimson red, am I hallucinating it not a beast right? Why was it emitting danger aura?
"Maybe it was a trap" while consolidating his self he didn't touch the wheel, he looks around and sees many portraits that hang in the wall; most of the image is painted of place, beast and people he does not recognize. Then his gaze land in one of the portrait it was emitting a green aura and most of the paintings is emitting black crimson red. He approaches the canvas, and it has an image of a cave surrounded by different magical beast type, and it was looking at one direction. He touches the portrait then, concentrate his mind and release his aura to the canvas.
Immediately a hole opened in the area of cave mouth of the canvas.
"I think this is where you put the key" Then he put the scroll in, and a creaking sound from the door came. The big door of the last boss suddenly opened wide.
He goes in, and then he looks around and sees the altar the middle, it seems like for sacrificial. Then he notices a pulpit in it; the 4th and 5th clues of the riddle is "innocent shall be rewarded and be granted to the right one."
He stands in the front of the altar where a pulpit its erected. Then, he places his hand in the platform where he releases his aura on the crystal ball then BOOM a loud bang was heard all over. Leon bewildered of the situation, a seven statue suddenly appeared that hold different books and different weapon.
"Gulp…. It will not attack me, right?"
"if I'm not mistaken the innocent means is telling about the age, so maybe it will be the requirement. Then, it only means one of the books in the statue is the reward, then the right one is..."
While he was analyzing the riddle, a coin suddenly dropped from his pocket and then rolled it in front of the 3rd statue that was like a warrior bandit the figure swiftly moves on its own then attack the coin merciless.
Leon is so shocked that he became speechless.
"Hey bro, it just a coin no need to be aggressive." Then the statue return to its original pose
" So if I choose the wrong statue, then I don't know what gory death I will suffer." Leon starting to sweat in cold
Then he looks at the pulpit again, he placed his hand and used the meditation scroll technique, this will going to be a soul test of the 5th riddle. He almost squeezes his entire spiritual energy in the pulpit.
Leon saw many a universal galaxy composed of the wonder of the world the fall and new beginning. His gaze falls to the tortuous color, and sometimes it and becoming the green color that shines among the colors. His hand reaching the light and suddenly
When he opened his eyes, this time he saw every statue aura and its color, it was the seven color rainbow. And then his gaze fell on the color green color that aura emitted one of the statues.
Then he pinpointed his index finger and said: "I CHOOSE YOU ORIEL."
After he said this, the other statue disappeared like a smoke one by one, excluding the 4th statue called Oriel. It has a calming aura that makes you feel safe beside it, it kneels a warrior pose as a sign of acknowledgment and gives the book to Leon as the new master.
He received it gleefully and said "Thank you" but the statue still expressionless,
After that, he left the pond
