"Well, what do we have here?"
Jack touched the fat monster's carcass only to have that green liquid gush out profusely from its three nostrils.
Wow, amazing, so not only does this thing not have any sharp parts on its body for me to use, it's also so disgusting, hmmm, rubbish, I don't want it." Jack sighed before continuing.
"Anyway, let's assess our situation here. Shall I start with the negative things or the positive ones? Hmmm, never mind. I'll start with the things that bother me first."
"So the system crashed for an unknown reason; it even used some kind of encryption to mention that error, and now I'm probably stuck in this place right now without a weapon, food, or even a drink."
Jack paused and then looked up at the horizon towards the beautiful sunset.
"On the good side, this place could be heaven for me. A place without NPCs keeps my headaches under control, and I can hear and see well. Come to think of it, this place is amazing!"
Jack smiled as he enjoyed the view around him before thinking again about his next move.
"Since the system crashed when I advanced, logically it should reboot if you go back to the safe zone in the beginning, but this is boring." Jack straightened his position, then put his hand on his chin and raised his head while thinking.
"What is this, nothing, just a little adventure for me? What could happen?" Jack deliberately emphasized that last word so that misfortune would come running to him.
With this, Jack continued to make his way forward towards the next island, and then the next, and along the way, he came across more deformed creatures that produced that green liquid. At first, he came across one with a very emaciated shape and a head with three holes. Unlike the first, this one had purple skin color like a corpse apparently had hair. Although it does not cover his entire head, he still has some long black hair, and he has two legs but no hands. Jack killed him as easily this time because he was mentally and physically prepared, unlike the first time. The second creature he saw this time was bald. He has two legs and two hands, but holes fill his body, and that green liquid burned his body to the point that his flesh had become rotten. For some reason, this creature was not aggressive but was just sitting writhing on the ground, and for this reason, Jack ignored him and did not kill him. Then he watched from afar as an island It contains three small monsters, and some of their organs are glued together, as if they were melted together, and their shapes were similar, which made their appearance uncomfortable to look at, but fortunately, it seemed that if they tried to move, they would fall because of their shape, so killing them was easy for Jack, but at the moment when Jack tried to break the neck of one of them, His two friends helped him, which made it impossible for Jack, but there was a dangerous idea in his mind. He looked at the water, then reconsidered the three monsters while trying to lure them into the water. He used his shoes to obstruct the other two monsters while the water was helping him to reduce the intensity of the green liquid, and with this movement he killed the first of them, then got rid of the second in the same way, and finally the third as well, but there was something that Jack did not understand: when he killed the first, he became angry with the other two, and when he killed The second one stopped resisting and only let out screaming sounds that sounded more like crying.
"Aren't those things supposed to be brainless? Or was their reaction due to instinct? Do you even have those darling things?" At first, Jack thought that all these monsters were more like the guards made by the Infernal Dragon, just like Cassia had told him, but that thought has now vanished.
"I need to move more."
When Jack went to the next island, which was somewhat high and obscured his vision, he climbed it, and what he saw after that made his heart beat excitedly. In front of him was a large island, the largest he had seen so far, and on that island, many monsters were roaming; their number was ten. Of various shapes and sizes
"On my way here, I saw four monsters. If we count those three things as one monster, that makes their number now 14." Jack from the High Island watched the situation on that big island and found that these monsters do not attack each other, but rather that they do not care about the presence of others, as two of them did. In a situation like that of that hole-filled monster, it was wriggling on the ground and only making some light sounds, but there was one monster that caught Jack's attention the most.
"What is this?..."
On the outskirts of the island was wandering a lone monster wearing some torn clothes. Unlike all the monsters that Jack met, this monster was not naked but rather wore some clothes, and he could see something yellow hanging from those clothes.
"Are these papers?" Jack asked as he looked at those yellow scrolls, then turned his gaze back to the rest of the monsters.
"I really want those papers, but will I be able to kill all those monsters on my own? Without the mean tools or superpowers of this trashy body? Hell no! But I don't have to kill them, hehehe." Jack laughed as he thought of his next move.
Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.
"Ohohoh, you will now see why I was called a Godly Thief, haha."
Jack got up from his place and quickly began to slide down the slope towards that big island. The distance between the sinkhole island and the big island was very small, so there was not much water between them, and this made Jack's movement lighter and faster without even making any sound and benefiting From the black environment around him, Jack went around the island and then crept inside with all his might, and there he was able to see that monster with clothes. Up close, Jack was able to confirm that those yellow coils were leaves, and he also noticed the shape of the monster in front of him; it had a human-like shape in proportion. He was so big that he had some hair, and he was wearing a brown jacket and white jeans. Of course, both of them were very worn and old, and they were also somewhat decomposing, but the most amazing thing was that he didn't even have any holes that let out that green liquid. No, he had normal-looking eyes. Despite being completely white and having a deformed mouth, he looks like an ordinary person who had an accident, and that appearance increased Jack's suspicions even more.
"Oh miracle dragon, what the hell is this? I hope you don't get disfigured in my eyes." Jack was disgusted to think about it any more, so he wasted no time and decided directly to steal those papers while that monster hadn't noticed him yet, and Jack actually moved quickly in that direction. The monster then snatched the yellow papers from the pockets of his jacket and ran. At that moment, the monster realized what was happening, so he shouted at Jack and started chasing him like a madman.
"Huh?" Jack was running, but the monster was behind him, and to his surprise, his speed was close to Jack's while that monster was running and screaming.
"Hey, hey, hey! Get away from me, you pile of rotten meat. I took your cards, and it’s over. Just accept it!"
But the monster didn't understand Jack's words and kept chasing him.
"Uh shit, you caused this to yourself!" Jack curbed his speed, then turned around and threw a vertical kick straight into the monster’s throat, which made him fall instantly. He then ran over him several times until Jack felt that the monster had given up. He then raised his foot and saw the monster show his face. And he screams something strange but understandable.
"Dut vugeth, Dut vugeth, Dut vugeth, Vove."
Jack did not understand those voices and did not care, because everything would become clear after seeing the cards anyway, so Jack only retreated without killing that monster, and he returned to the slope and put the cards in front of him, which amounted to 5 cards, and to increase Jack's suspicion, only more was Those papers were written in the language of this world, and although some passages were erased or simply cut off, most of those papers were readable and contained dates, which helped Jack arrange them, except for two papers that were without a date, and even writing on them was almost impossible to read, so Jack decided to start with the first three leaves. He took the first piece of paper and started reading it.

Dover is here. I am a reporter for the Truth Channel. Me and my team, consisting of the cameraman Thamer, the sound engineer, and the microphone Melissa, who specializes in Montage Mundo programming, and finally me, the reporter, were sent on a mission to the unknown island, which was the first place where the legend of the Dragon of Miracles was seen, although my team did not know However, the financier for this trip is the government of Shura State! It seems that even other governments are interested in this report and are considering investing in it as well. If we succeed in collecting information, that's all for today. I have to rest well for tomorrow.
Monday 30/09/1790
Dover is here. We alighted in peace on the island, and though we were greeted quite literally by the people of the island, until it was made clear that we had come on a trip for a documentary, they laid down their arms and let us pass. Since these are mere diaries, not important papers, I can make fun of the fat Mondo who almost wets his pants from fear of welcoming the villagers. Anyway, the day was really fruitful. We discovered that the history of this place is very important from a philosophical and religious point of view, since here they worship the dragon of miracles and believe in the phrase that he will return when we deserve him to return. In fact, according to my humble opinion, I find that they exaggerate their beliefs, but of course this is my private opinion, which will remain only in my head and these papers. Tomorrow we will go to the place where we teach children and participate in some activities.
Tuesday 01/10/1790
Dover is here; the day was special, if you will. We discovered that the children here learn in the same way as on the main continent. Rather, it is possible to say that their education is better in all respects. Uh, a reminder. Something strange also happened when I asked one of the teachers about the reason for the lack of children in school. I thought it was a normal question because I noticed that the number of children on this island is small, so I wondered about the reason, but that teacher changed the topic, and we started talking about food here. In fact, Mondo liked that topic, but Melissa did not like it because she is on a diet. Anyway, we went. After that, we saw the closeness of the agricultural process on this island and how their food has a strange color. In fact, I thought it was a new type of food, but the tomatoes here were of a bright green color, and many fruits also had different colors. The soil here is soft and ideal for cultivation, according to what they said. Tomorrow, they told us they were preparing something interesting for us.
Wednesday 02/10/1790
Dover is here. Today we went to the village church with the saint, where he told us more about the nameless Dragon of Miracles cult religion. For some reason, he even bit us and gave us some judgment. He seems to be a good person anyway. It's almost time for us to go back to the main continent, except it will be another day here, and we will take one last tour in and around the village.
11 pm
In fact, after I finished my report today and completed writing these notes, I went to sleep as usual, but I heard voices coming from outside my room. At first, I thought it was a village resident or perhaps a saint because he did not enter or knock on the door like my squad members do, so I got out of bed and opened it. I opened the door to find an old man and a nun talking in front of it. I asked them if they needed anything, but they did not say anything and went straight away. It was radiating a golden color; maybe there is something wrong with this village.
