How the fuck do I do this. Tian panted heavily. Though all of it was fake and all due to the situation, even still his mouth created more and more noise.

“I can hear you!”

Oh god! How can she hear me! What the fuck do I do! Tian raised his hand outward and covered his mouth. His eyes panicked and switched from left and right.

“I saw you! Just come out!”

Oh shit! Not how the fuck did she see me??? Tian couldn’t handle the fake pressure that he subconsciously gave himself. But then, he remembered something clear. Wait… Tian’s hands fell down to his waist. His eyebrows raised up.

***

I can hear him but he won’t come out. I mean I did see something in that tree… but I don’t know anymore! Mark and Crazel are still out hunting… uh…

“I saw you! Just come out!” She yelled. Kailey moved her spear left and right. She stood still in one spot and dared not to go deeper into the forest. That should make him come out right?

She constantly swallowed her saliva as her way to calm herself down. Her eyes wandered about on two trees, one had a sign of movement from earlier, and another was just there to be cautious off.

Kailey placed her eyes to the tree on her left until a voice suddenly came out from her right. Oh is tha- A naked man came out of the trees.

“Hello! I’m a human named Tia-!”

“Ahhh!!”

Without hesitation, she stabbed her spear forward but with her skills, she closed her eyes and aimed a little upward.

The spear stabbed the man’s waved hand.

“Well… there’s a better way to say hello back.” The man said.

Kailey immediately opened her eyes and stared at an ugly fat man. If it was her in the past she would have insulted such a sight, but in her current state, that personality had no choice but to disappear. But it seems like it wasn’t fully gone yet.

“Urghh!!” She threw up to the ground.

“You good?”

After wiping her mouth, “Who are you!” She pulled her spear out and aimed at his head.

“Ow.”

“Ahh! Sorry!” She said.

“No, it’s okay.” The man smiled. He brought his hand down, “What’s your name?” He reached his hand out.

Kailey moved two steps back with her spear still aimed at his head. Quick! What did Mark tell you to do when there are strangers?

“Who are you!” She slowly moved the spear forward; with her best effort to be intimidating.

“I guess you didn’t hear me. Well, my name is Tian!”

“Where are you from?”

“Hmm… well I already forgot about that… but if it’s in this world.” Tian squinted his eyes and looked up, “Uh… from the forest.” He nodded.

“...” Kailey didn’t know what else to ask. She closed her eyes and tried her hardest to think of more questions.

“Uh… are you… okay?” The man was ignored.

“Why are you here!” She opened her eyes and moved her spear again, this time she almost touched his nose. Though the man didn’t move. “Ahh… sorry…” She retracted the spear immediately.

“Well… I just found smoke… and I thought I could cook some fish.”

“Ahh! The smoke!” She yelled. Kailey remembered that she had the last piece of pork on a stick above the fire.

“Ah… can you… just stay here… be-” She stopped. “No never mind! Until my companions come, you will not leave my sight!” She moved her spear again.

“If you say so.” The man just agreed and stood. He stared at Kailey and her eyes drifted somewhere else.

While she talked, she only looked at the man’s face. Unlike his fat body, his face wasn’t half bad. But soon enough, as the conversation had ended. Her eyes drifted to his hand, the one she previously pierced.

The man stood there and acted like his hand just didn’t have a hole in it. Is this man insane? Does that not hurt? Should I ask? No I shouldn’t! But… just… I am just so curious! I mean it’s dripping so much blood! Even my spear is covered with blood!”

“Umm… does… your hand not hurt?” She couldn’t resist and ask.

“Hand?” The man raised his right hand. “This one?”.

Kailey almost instantly fainted. The hole was perfectly in the middle of his hand. He raised it up to his face, and his eye fit perfectly into the hole. It was a grotesque image that could make anyone with a light heart pass out.

“Yes…”

“Oh, well, not really. I mean…” The man raised his other hand and pushed his finger through the hole. “This is kinda cool, hehehe.”

Kailey swallowed his saliva and shook her head violently around.

“Are you good? I mean, are you sure you’re good?!” The man said.

“Yep…pa… I am good.”

Kailey made a face like she had just eaten a whole lemon. Her mind couldn’t handle the amount of blood on the ground. But then soon, those pools of blood slowly gathered inside the hole of his hand.

“Oh and there it is, it’s healing now.”

She had seen that same scene a lot in the past years. But all she could remember was the amount of pain that it felt. Even though she had experienced it before, it was only for small cuts. It was the magical power of being immortal, and that man in front of her… was something more.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

The man’s stomach grumbled; interrupting their conversation. “I guess I’m hungry now, can I try and borrow your cookery thingy?” He asked.

“What?” Her mind drifted.

“Can I borrow your cookery thingy?”

Her spear had already reached the halfway point from her carelessness. “Ah. Ah! Well uh, you can’t steal our food!” She immediately raised her spear and pointed it to his face again.

“No, no, I won’t steal your food.” He waved his hands.

“Then what will you cook? I see nothing around your naked body! Unless…” Her body shook with fear in her eyes.

“Unless?”

“Are you… going to cook your-yourself… or worse, me!?” She backed away a few more steps and rapidly swung her spear.

“What? No! I am going to cook fish!”

“Fish?” She was taken a back for a second. Then she fixed her posture again. “Who are you kidding? I see no fish in your hand!”

“Well of course my hand is too small for a fish.”

“...”

“Oh, well let me tell you, you know being fat has its benefits.” With his left hand he tapped his chest. “Oh, it healed back.” The man forced his hands inside his chest. He used his nails and scratched them until it started to bleed.

“Stop! What are you doing? Are you insane?!”

A few seconds passed and his arm went inside his chest. Kailey’s breath got heavier. Just as she watched what the man did, her chest also felt a faint pain on it. She tried her best to gulp as many times as she could.

“Anyway, like I was saying. The best thing about being fat, is, I realized.” The man slowly retracted his arm.

The world slowly shook. Is there an earthquake? Her eyes was fixated on the man’s chest and hand. He slowly took it out and a fish came out. His chest exploded with blood and his hand was covered with it.

“That I can store a lot of things inside.” He smiled.

Kailey panted heavily. Her eyes flickered. She watched the blood drip on his chest… and then she…

“Are you good? Wait, how many times have I asked the question lol.”

Fainted.

***

“Well, that was a surprise.”

The woman dropped to the ground and so was her spear. Tian crouched down and picked the spear up. “Oh…” He turned to his left and swung to the trees. The spear made a cut of its size and leaves started to fall above his head.

“Oh… wow… I have never used this thing before.” He retracted the spear back down. “Oops.” Until it got a little stuck, but he fixed it.

“Anyway, I’m hungry, and I should… should I? Yeah, I should carry her.” Tian looked down at his feet and at the spear. He repeated it multiple times until he stabbed the spear into his leg. He pushed it until it was halfway through the length.

Tian leaned down and picked the woman up with both his hands. “Wow, I totally look like a prince right now.” He smirked. “Or… an- a- wa- a- well uh… a murderer…”

“Ehh… no one is here to see this.” Tian then walked to the open area. It was small but it was still free of trees. As he expected and saw, there was a fireplace surrounded by three logs.

And like it was an eyesore, he also spotted two trees that were sliced off just a few meters away from the center area; with leaves and a few pieces of wood scattered on the ground. There was also a pile of bones on the side of one of the logs.

Tian closed into the campfire and dropped the woman off. “Come to think of it, I don’t even know her name.” He scratched his chin.

“Oh well.” He bounced his shoulder and looked at the campfire. “Oh, I dropped my fish!” He quickly went back into the forest and picked up his fish.

Tian walked inside the box of logs and stared at the charred… something, pierced onto a stick. He took the stick out of a well-made campfire and wiped the black ash off the stick. Tian then stabbed his fish and placed it back to the two “Y” on both sides of the fire.

“I wonder how they created a fire.” Tian sat on the ground. He got a little curious and his eyes were mesmerized by the fire. His hand slowly reached into the fire… and then… it burned.

“It’s like a tickling pain…” Tian smiled with his mouth open. “Wow… it’s like the acid…” Tian retracted his hand back and it was still caught on fire. He tapped it with his other hand slowly and then soon both his hands caught in fire.

“Uh…” Tian couldn’t think of anything and just smashed his arms to the ground, and luckily, it worked. “Phew… I almost died there hehe.” Tian felt a constant pain in his arms. One of them had turned completely black with a hole in the middle. Even the cloth of blood was churned and dried.

“Well… ummm… I can’t eat with this.” But then his burned skin dropped down and slowly his skin regenerated. “Oh… wow… so it doesn’t take long if it’s just the skin… cool!” It only took a few minutes and his arms were already completely healed; at the same time, his fish was ready to be flipped.

“Hehe… just a few more… or… I could… nah…” Tian sat still and waited for his fish to be finished. After a few minutes, he took the stick out and stood up. He walked to one of the three logs and sat.

“Time to feast!” He held the stick on both sides and took a huge bite. “Ow. Again.” The bones pierced his gums once more. But this time Tian just didn’t care and continued. “So delicious!” The taste of the food was enough for him to disregard the bones that he ate with it.

“Kailey!”

“Kailey!”

Two men shouted. Tian looked back behind him and a spear was flying at him. Thankfully the aim wasn’t perfect, and with his lack of care for any pain or attacks, he didn’t move an inch and the spear landed a meter to his side.

The two men got close. One went to the passed-out woman and the other aimed his fear at Tian’s face. “Who are you? If you don’t speak I’ll kill you!”

“What is with everyone pointing their spears at me as a hello? I mean, hello too.”
