First defeat

I thought this gorilla has bad eyesight. However I was soon proved wrong. I was hurrying back into the cave. A big stone fell down blocking the tunnel. I look behind and see the gorilla holding some more stones.

This one is intelligent. It has its mouth open. I can see its teeth and tongue. Not a sight you should see. The four tusks were hideous enough to pass as horrific. The inside of the mouth was even worse.

Teeth everywhere. The entire mouth was full of teeth. It felt like a lamprey's mouth. It's staring at me with 8 eyes. I think it can see through all of those.

12 hands, 8 eyes, 10 meters tall, humongous and intelligent, this one is a tough one. I would love to run away. But this one has blocked my escape route. I don't want to run on open field.

Still, I don't want to fight. I don't pick fights I have no chnace of winning. As I am now, I can't win. No matter how I simulate it, I can't win.

I would die one way or another. Besides, my instincts tell me, this isn't the end of it. This gorilla can probably use magic or has other abilities. The unknown sure is scary.

All this time, it has been staring me down. I haven't moved an inch. I feel like it would attack if I move even a bit.

The snake was easy due to it being a crawler. This gorilla can walk on two feet. It has 12 hands and they are long. Reach wise, I can't dodge. It would catch me with one of its arms.

I think hard. How can I run away? What is the easiest way of running away? I notice the creature on my shoulder. It's awake and staring at the gorilla.

It is shivering. And this time, it's even more severe. The snakes was one thing but this one is a real danger.

I knew that even with a few injuries, I could win against the snake. However, this one is just impossible.

It's almost 5 and half times my height. I have currently peak human conditions. I can fast for a human. I have high stamina. But that won't help me fight a giant.

I have no weapons either. Range is the key. I have melee weapons. The gorilla is looking down on me. Like it could squash me anytime. It's just enjoying my despair.

I am desperate. The weak are always desperate to survive. This is a new sensation.

Still, I have no other options. I have to do it. I slowly put down my backpack and take out the rod.

I change it to the pole. It's not a wise decision but I have to do it. I don't know how good its reflexes are so I want to bet.

I start running as fast as I could and do the pole vaulting jump. Once I am launched in the air, I change it to the two handed sword and just fall on the gorilla.

I don't know if I was lucky or unlucky but I managed to wound the gorilla. It wasn't exactly trying to protect itself. I think it wanted to let me have the first move. I landed on its chest. I lodged the sword to stop the fall.

Funnily enough, sword pierced through its skin. The wound was there. The gorilla lights groaned and tried to grab me.

I kick its body to get the sword out and fall down.

I fell from at least 7 meters but I wasn't injured. I just ran as fast as I could. Because it's trying to grab me.

Once I am back to my previous place, I put the backpack on and rush at the gorilla again. This time however, I was caught by it.

It threw me up in the air and I saw a fist coming towards me.

That fist was bigger than my body. I curled my body to brace for the impact.

I felt every moment of that punch. I could hear my bones being crushed. Pain is permeating through my body. I am being pushed back by the fist. I wasn't in contact with that fist for too long but it felt like an eternity.

I was already on the verge of fainting due to the pain. When I hit something behind, I just fainted.

When I woke up, I couldn't move. I couldn't feel my body. I was just staring at the sky. Where did I fall?

My whole body has been paralyzed. I can't move or feel and overall only my mind is working. But even that is hazy.

I just close my eyes and stay put. This is my first defeat. Defeat doesn't taste good so I have to wipe the floor with that fucking gorilla. If I am mobile again, I will find it and I will kill it.
