A bright light encompassed my vision and an intense wave of heat washed over me for just a split second then nothing, and when I woke up all I saw was the black.
My body was gone
And my mind was hazy
I had no idea how I ended up here
But I knew I was dead
No doubt about it
I know an explosion when I see one
And that most definitely was one
But why?
Who would bomb the school?
...
...
...
It was probably spooky
She was always being bullied
And with that unkempt, crusty, lice-infested hair,
greasy, dirty, pimple ridden face
crooked, yellow teeth,
Always had the smell of shit on her
Like she never even heard of a shower
and a hardcore case of anorexia, she was just a target of ridicule
And also
Them blood-red eyes and that gloomy aura that was always around her
I would have been surprised if she wasn't a vampire
And for some reason, she would always talk to me
No one else
Just me
It was weird
I didn't mind
Well I kinda did
But I never said anything
Mostly because at the time I was 4'10 and had a very slim build
Even if she was anorexic I don't think I could win in a fight if she decided to take revenge one day
But surprisingly
She was a lot more interesting than I thought
We both really enjoyed making videos, like those AMV types
We also listen to the same music being dubstep
You can imagine my shock when she said that, I thought she would like more depressing types but hey, looks can be deceiving
And we both loved the saint's row series
It's an American game about gangs, guns, and military corruption, it's not GTA though
I have to be VERY clear
It's not GTA
And because we both lived pretty close to one another we hung out at each other's houses often
Safe to say we got along pretty well
And I came to enjoy her company
Terrible cook though
But that wasn't her fault
Because her parents were overseas and had been for a couple of years now
So she would come over a lot and I would cook for her
I'm a pretty good cook if I do say so myself
Her clothes didn't magically tear off when she would take a bite but she did say it was really delicious
Although when your entire diet consists of fast food
A home-cooked meal could taste like the heaven on earth
So I'd say we were pretty close, and that I knew her pretty well
Although
Never thought she would blow up the school
Eh who am I kidding
I figured something like this would happen eventually
I mean, pretty much the entire class actively avoided her like the plague
Still
I'm gonna miss her
Anyway
Where am I
If I'm dead shouldn't I have been sent to like heaven or hell?
Or is this one of those isekai situations
God I hope not
I liked life on earth
Why would I throw that away for some fantasy adventure?
Having to deal with bandits and demons and stuck-up nobles?
No thanks
I much prefer my carbonated drinks
And modern convinces
I just hope I don't have to spend too long here

3rd person pov
The Great Elroe Labyrinth is without a doubt the most dangerous place on the continent of Kasanagara and because of its vast and ever-extending structure of complex tunnels that run through the labyrinth, and its abnormal number of both unique and powerful monsters, this specific labyrinth connects to Daztrudia.
However, the sea that splits the two continents is infested with water dragons.
Meaning that going through the great Elroe Labyrinth is the only way to travel to each of the two continents, and while teleportation circles could be used, it was very costly, so most could not afford such expense and had to travel into the aptly named hell region.
And right above the Daztrudia entrance lays a place called the forest prosperity and death.
It's a vast area covered by the green that has been blessed by the gods, or so the locals say, expensive and rare magical herbs and metals could be found at every corner, mythical and magical beasts like unicorns, spirits, and even the great albino horned wabbit resided in the forest.
However just as its a very enticing area because of its vast collection of rare and sometimes mythical creatures and items, its also home to some of the most dangerous creatures to roam the planet, being that could shift the earth without the use of skills, beings that could raze entire towns to ash with naught but a single fireball, beings that could take over the minds of its victims and lure them to their caves to feast upon the unsuspecting adventurer or explorer.
But, greed is a supreme motivator, expeditions are carried out monthly by a team of expert swordsmen, mages, archers, healers, and other essential personal. The entire thing is funded by the local adventures guild that rests a couple of kilometers away from the edge of the forest, and if not for the amount of revenue that could be brought in by the items the expedition team brought in, then the forest would have been classified as a black zone by the kingdom.
Although there are some others whose greed has blinded them to the dangers of this area, either that or the desperate just have no other choice, there are many reasons as to why one would need lots of money. Debt, medical bills, criminal charges, the risk of homelessness, not enough food for one's family. There are many reasons, but many who venture into the forest unsanctioned never return, thus it has become illegal to go in without being a registered part of the expedition team.
Currently, 4 human adventures can be seen within a 'Safe' part of the forest where one of the many rare and profitable creatures make its nest.
Their horns while small and brittle are as of now, the best possible ingredients for speed, and agility potions, and even just the shaved-off parts of the horn could increase a potion's potency by 20%.
Their eyes are said to be able to increase one's own total MP by a multiple of 2, they also have minor healing properties that are enough to regrow limbs if the eyes are brewed into a potion.
Their hide is resistant to most elemental attacks, and even though it's weak combined with other factors the hide could be said to be the best defense against said elemental attacks.
And their meat is rather plain in comparison to the rest of the body as it has no special properties, nor does it have an amazing effect, but it is a delicacy in these parts and is said to be the best quality of meat in the world.
With all these amazing effects that could be gained with just a single Albino Wabbit the humans, demons, and elves have hunted the creature to near extinction.
And so a group of 4 humans decided to hunt for the very last of the species.
A Male
And a pregnant Female
