‘Is this the end?, its only been a week but I guess this is what I get for overestimating my capabilities. My left arm is broken and I think a few ribs as well. I have wounds all around my body. My vision is fading . It is a shame though, to be killed by a mother effin chicken. but if I survive this predicament I promise on all of the gods in this world that I wouldn’t steal another egg again.’ Nok Ma murmured with a bitter smile while trying to get up. The beast stared at him with the intent to finish him in its eyes.

Its all because of that crazy scientist. He made this effin mess if he hadn’t made that device then the world would still be the same but blaming him will not change my situation. It's already been done and all of the humans on earth became minuscule .

“You big ass chicken, it seems that luck is on your side. Come on and show me what you got!!.” I roared at the beast giving my final blow on its head before almost passing out.

‘Is he dead?’ A girl with an angelic voice asked someone. I heard her with my consciousness hanging on a thread.

‘nah ,still breathing.’ Answered someone whose voice should belong to a man in his 40s.

‘I think we should take him back with us to the village. He will die in a day or two if we don’t help him.’ The girl said with a slight worry on her tone.

‘yes , I think we should, besides he can be of some use. To take on a mature chicken all by himself he's pretty strong and maybe he might know why the giant humans disappeared .’ That was the last thing I heard before I passed out.

*swoooshhh swooooshh*

The winds are howling and I regained my consciousness. Ku ku ku ku. So its no more eggs for me huh. Was that a dream? I asked my self but the pain told me otherwise. So someone really saved me , I was hit by urge to get up but I can't. I'm excited and sad at the same time,I can't understand myself. Maybe it’s the longing to talk to another person and the feeling that I’m not alone. To keep me sane .This might be the first encounter that I'll be going to have with another human being after the world got effed.

I tried opening my eyes but it seems that only my right eye works. I guess my left eye is either gone or still swelling. I hope its only swelling. I still can’t use anything other than my right eye and my whole body is numb from pain.

‘A storm is coming, the wind god is angry' I heard her again so I really was saved by them. I looked around and saw a beautiful girl with long ears and black skin covered in tribal tattoo sitting by the window smiling at me.

Is she an elf ? I asked myself if this really is a dream.

‘Whe-re a-m I? Ar-e you re-al?’ I asked, struggling to open my mouth.

‘You shouldn’t talk. You're safe here, we saw you on the hunting grounds near the giant human farm. Where did you came from?’ the dark elf girl asked with an interested look on her face.

I tried to answer back but to no avail. I'm still too weak to talk. All I can do is to stare at her.

‘Just rest and heal for now. We will talk again when you regain your strength.’ She said before leaving.

I had a lot of questions running through my mind but she’s right all I can do now is to just rest and regain my strength. I still can't believe everything. While pondering for answers if mythical creatures do exist I drifted back to sleep again.

I was awaken by the fragrant smell of something near me . My body feels lighter when I inhale it. The pain on my body are all gone. I open my eyes to check my body, the wounds are covered in leaves and to my surprise I’m already on my way to full recovery. Even though I still feel weak, according to my calculations with this recovery rate I will be on my peak in three days.

A leaf the size of a door is burning near me in a very unusual way. It burns really slow and emits three different flame color.

While I was admiring the leaf someone came in. It was a male dark elf with white hair and a cane.

So they really do exist. I thought I was just hallucinating before. 

He looked at me with curiosity then left without saying anything. 

After he left I fell asleep yet again. I guess my fast recovery takes its toll.
