=================Janet's P.O.V====================

Its been a few days since all of us had been transported to this world no one seems to know or remember how we got here in the first place not even me since i was only walking down the street with some friends and nothing else and the next thing you know i am sitting inside of a forest.

~Congratulations you have learned the skill [LvL.1]~

-Finally !

I sighed out of relieve and out of cheerfulness seeing the mysterious notification box appear before me telling me that i had really learned this skill,since the time sorron told me that we could learn these skills and that in particular seemed to be very useful,i tried to get this skill wasting pretty much 2 days time to properly grasp it by looking at items and trying to figure out what they are and what they do i even considered that sorron was just an delusion of sarah's,but then again the slimes that were until now feeding us getting water for us were proof enough for me to believe that sorron actually does exist...and concerning the others,it seems like they don't want to accept this reality and try to dismiss it just waiting for help to come which would most likely never happen deep down everyone already knew that this world is a complete different one since they had seen the slime and other monsters,but they still stubbornly try to reason with this and hope for a escape thinking me and sarah were delusional...most of them even barely talk to us and just sit inside the cave all day long doing nothing,but eating and lazing around...no one wants to go out into the forest since the monsters are scary making exploration almost non-existed for us...

-Without sorron we would have long since starved to death wouldn't we ?

I muttered absentmindedly as i stared towards the sky with my back on the ground...it was day and now that i got the skill i could probably start to understand things a bit more...

Sighing i started to get up from my position stretching my body for a bit and as i did so i noticed from the corner of my eye that someone was staring at me....

Feeling slightly perplexed i turned my head towards the entrance of cave and noticed gary sitting inside hiding behind the vine curtain looking at me...we met gazes lasting only for about 2 seconds until he turned around and started going deeper inside...creep.

I thought a bit disdainfully...i can still remember the talk we had a couple days ago...gary once privately called me out on the middle of the night and told me that he and i should run away and try find some help,he also wanted to take the slimes with us for recourse collecting and since i was the one who controlled these slimes and the one who they listened the most he wanted to take me along...at the time i fully understood why he had come to this decision and when i asked him what would the others do he just answered with...

-They be fine ! we can get help before they starve by leaving a lot of food behind..

Even when he said it like this i could see more then one flaw to his plan which was...what if the food starts rotting ? over all i didn't consider to the slightest going with gary even thought he was my friend back in england,but now i could see that he didn't care about anyone,but himself...slightly angry and hurt i narrowed my eyes and looked at him at the time.

-Forget it,its not going to happen lets pretend you never said this to me return to your sleeping quarter...

I turned around and left the place leaving a slightly furious gary going back to where the girls were,when i returned i noticed that the girls were actually all awake and knew that i had left in the middle of the night,they didn't ask what was going on and just pretended to sleep having them question me was also a pain in the ass so i decided to join sarah's night watch duty talking with her a bit more and getting to her a bit better...she is naive,but smart at the same time...she wants to see the good in people and tries to avoid the bad being optimistic about our situation which in itself was very impressive in a dumb kind of way...but still having sarah as an ally or a friend was soothing to my soul since she could talk by herself and let me listen...i wasn't the most talkative person so i often get left out in a conversation.

Now thinking about it,it was at this time that everyone started to become weird all of a sudden...not that they weren't weird to begin with they were just starting to get more secretive and creepy in general..

Other then sarah and me the other girls started to whisper behind our backs calling us delusional even crazy generally avoiding me or sarah even juliet who was my friend avoided talking to me or sarah i tried to confront her with this once,but she denied it saying that i was just paranoid...

In the end i stopped caring anymore since i couldn't change anything and concerning the guys they were also sometimes getting in petty arguments sometimes fighting each other which happened a lot lately...

In short i failed...being a leader is hard they just can't listen to me,but i know that i have faults in this too since i can't even lead them properly...how does sorron do this anyway ?!

I was wondering at the time thinking about this mysterious character called sorron by now we had only communicated with him 2 times i never ever heard his voice,but i knew that his leadership skills seem to be much better then mine even these small monsters follow his orders and they weren't even human to begin with...

Back to present i looked down onto the ground sighing once again i started thinking...

I wanted to meet him...don't misunderstand i didn't have a crush on him i was just curious on who he was...he is most likely a transported person like me and the others,but the question was how long has it been since he was here ?Is he alone or does he have some kind of group ?He sure seems to be the leader of such group if so,but he himself doesn't want to meet...there are multiple reason why he wouldn't want to meet me the most obvious one being that he just doesn't want to get involved with us and get more burdens then he has or he is just wait which can't be it since sarah told me once that he has pretty much an army of these small slimes which he could use any time to kill us all or capture us for his desires...

-no...

I denied this possibility it was already clear that he isn't a person who likes to violate someone he is someone decisive acting with an air of care around him doing things that only benefit him or his group being cautious and strategic about his situation...

-He said he wants allies...he didn't want a second group like "Steven's"...

That sentence alone made me realize something...we aren't alone in this whole forest...other then the monsters that lurk inside there are other beings such as the dark elves and other humans who were also transported here...

-Thinking about it won't help i have no other choice,but to wait...

-Janet ?

I was startled for a moment hearing someone behind me calling my name i jumped and turned around to see who it was...sarah !?

Sarah who was staring at me confused suddenly laughed out as she realized what she had done...i also made a stupid grin because of her slightly mad,but alright.

-you scared me you stupid butt

-sorry hahaha i didn't mean to ahahah

Sarah had a real charge out of this something rare if i had to say...

-so do you need something ?

I asked wondering why sarah called me.

-yeah we are about to eat breakfast i came to call you over..

Breakfast...it was already morning and most of the people were most likely sleeping i really would like to have a sleeping schedule for everyone to abide to,but what can i do really ? breakfast seems to be the only thing gets these guys awake and personally speaking i didn't want to face them anymore seeing their depressed face's getting worse everyday just isn't good for my health in general.

I sighed and answered her.

-Its can't be helped alright i coming

Sarah nodded and walked away towards the cave i still needed to see something before i get to breakfast...since i had i could now see myself a bit more proper can't i ?

-Status window !

I quickly opened my status window and immediately noticed the big changes in the descriptions and small text appearing behind my skills i even had other skills that weren't shown to me previously...this really makes a huge difference.

I can now see 4 more skills and the masteries of the other skills such as which was at LvL.3 this skill particular i had used a couple times to build the walls it increased my attributes somewhat,but i never knew how much it increased, on the other hand isn't something i used a lot when invoked the skill allows me to see the stream of mana going through the air more visibly...its somewhat of a confusing skill as it just high lights different kinds of colors that belong to different beings that have mana i am not really sure how to use it practically.

The other skills are something that i never had any use out of such as a unique skill that allows me to make 2 physical mirror images of myself who are also capable of using my own skills and have identical attributes...i never used this skill before because i never had any use to it the cool down for this skill is also 14 days meaning 2 weeks making me want to keep it at that for emergency...the other skills such as and are purely offensive skills with convenient tweak such as which allows me to create another mirror image of myself this time a illusion to confuse my opponent with allows me to add an elemental onto my weapon temporarily...

With that i also read the other 4 newly acquired skills and was a bit disappointed how tame they were,but also satisfied since i had these skills...

It took me 20 minutes or so for me to finish fully inspecting the new status window until i realized that everyone must be probably eating right now.

With that in thought i also quickly started running and going towards the cave to eat something...while on my run i started thinking about the food and remembered that we didn't eat the slightest bit of meat since we came here which made me a bit,malnourished so to say since i actually ate a lot meat especially...man i am getting tired of fruits...

My skin also felt very uncomfortable sometimes itchy even which was a pain in the ass...i do wipe myself properly with water everyday in a secluded area,but that just isn't the same now is it this makes you wonder how the people from the medieval age used to live without a proper shower or bath...i thought like this as i finally arrived at the place everyone was already sitting in a circle stuffing themselves with the food...because we didn't have plates or bowls i used large leafs to pack the food i also put it deep inside the cave for it to keep cool and not to rot.

-you are late...

Said one of the guys...

-i know i needed to do something

I replied not even looking at him as i took the fruit that looked like a orange biting it without peeling the shell tasting the sweet bitter flavor of it...

We all continued to eat like this for about 10 minutes not talking to each other to the slightest i had an thought about telling them about the skill that i managed to acquire,but they wouldn't probably listen to it so i just kept quiet.

Gary and the other 2 guys were sitting beside each other looking at one another for some reason while eating in the end richard nudged gary to the shoulder making him the center of attention...

-aham...guys i think i need to tell you something...me,richard and john decided to leave the cave and go search for help actually...

-ehh ?

Hearing this everyone was surprised since the forest seemed dangerous everyone felt scared going outside now hearing these guys who at the start wouldn't even take a step out of the cave speak that they wanted to go search for help seemed weird...with gary finishing his sentence everyone started questioning him why him and the other 2 guys would want to do this when questioned gary answered that we couldn't stay here forever and that help would most likely never come which made some of us a bit more anxious about what he said,but not me or sarah to be precise...

-alright do what you want...

-i...i see

Gary replied hearing my indifferent tone,honestly saying i wasn't against him going and i knew that i couldn't stop him since he wouldn't listen to me forcing him to stay is also out of the question and telling him that going into the forest is suicide and that he would most likely die would just piss him off and do it anyways...i knew him enough to know that he had such tendencies..

The other 2 guys never said anything and just followed gary's suit not really thinking about themselves more like wanting to be lead by someone other then me...sexists...

I snorted thinking like this i took 2 more fruits and left the circle staying anymore was just pointless.

Sarah seeing me leave also followed suit probably because she didn't want to stay in a awkward position and with that said they guys packed a lot of food soon after and left the cave into the forest we said our goodbyes and good lucks for them and watched them leave.

-Do you think they will be okey ?

Sarah asked from my side...it had been about 4 or 5 hours since they left after another few hours the sun would go down...

-I dunno and honestly i really don't care...

-hey thats not nice to say...wasn't he your friend ?

Sarah countered with a frown on her face i looked at her momentarily and back down telling her.

-He "was" my friend sarah...he was the same friend as you and christina,but you know how that ended up right ?

Sarah flinched hearing this a bit sad...i also felt bad for rubbing it in on her and apologized she accepted it and we soon got quiet once more.Currently sarah and i were sitting on the fences keeping watch since we didn't have anything better to do...i also had already done a lot with the skill getting it to LvL.3 and gaining more information which was somewhat relevant,but also not really.

Like this sarah and i sat on the ground i was a bit absentminded so i wasn't really keeping tabs behind the walls like sarah was.

-Hey...i think i see someone over there...wait are those people ?

I snapped out of my thoughts hearing that turning towards the place sarah pointed at and she was right those were really people and 3 of those i recognized,but i didn't know the other 3...

-Hey sarah,janet ! its us ! we found some help on the way !

Gary shouted from the distance letting us know that it really was him and the others sarah seeing this was very excited and glad that the others had returned i was somewhat glad,but not really excited more like alarmed for some reason..

Sarah in her hurry quickly called the other 2 girls and came back with them the moment the other 6 guys came to the wooden fence letting me look at them more properly...a guy with long blond hair and brown eyes who wore leather armor walked towards us he looked decently handsome and friendly with his courteous smile...the other 2 girls gasped seeing him wide eyed...the other 2 guys on the back also tried to be friendly putting on some weird smiles on their faces...anyways the blond haired guys started speaking.

-Hello...my name is carl and this is rupert and brandon we came along these 3 in the forest and heard that you need help and from what i can see you also seem to have been transported here like us so don't worry we have been here a lot more longer then you think and even have a town build to the north...we call ourselves the colony by the way...

I froze for a moment hearing him say the last bit...sarah who stood by my side also seemed to have realized something as her facial expression hardened for a bit...

-is that so alright then let us pack and leave right now thank you for helping us...

I quickly tried to look like i was glad without showing my clear displeasure of the current situation...they said they were from the colony...i remembered the words from sorron and what he told me about that so called colony looking suspicious right now isn't good.

With that said i grabbed onto sarah's arm and started dragging her towards the cave the others were still on place not about to help us pack the food we had just continuing to talk with their angels in disguise while sarah and i slipped into the cave...i could feel carl's gaze laying on me for a few seconds until we got out of sight into the cave...

-hahhh

Sarah...exhaled..having a slight pale face sarah was looking down clear helplessness reflecting on her expression..

-what do we do ?

Sarah asked me a hard look on her face...I was also slightly scared not sure what to do next,but then i remembered something...the request i made to sorron when we first spoke...

I turned towards sarah quickly telling her.

-try to call sorron ask for help...
