Apta, Ordinary Man

A young man woke up on a pile of dung, right in front of a flock of bats sleeping on top of him.

"Where am I?"

The young man asked and held his head. He was dazed as if he had just hit a wall hard.

"Oh, I see. So this is my punishment?"

He stood up and examined his entire body with his own two eyes. His hands and feet, which he managed to see, he knew that they were not his body.

"If this is true... I'll try to check first."

He hit the stone wall beside him, confirming that his guess was correct.

His hand was bleeding from the heavy blow against the stone wall, and he was able to confirm his guess.

"Human... I am human now. They have taken me out of heaven and made me a human. But luckily..."

He saw what was in his crotch. There is a dick, indicating that he became a man.

"What can I do, I'm already like this. So, I just have to do this. And besides, I know what I have to do in this world."

Even if he was a human, he still carried out his duties as a god. He knew what he had to do in that world, according to what had happened to his estimate since the 30 seconds were over.

"But by the way, this place..."

It was where he saved the little girl. It was a cave that became the place for the ritual of summoning a god.

"It turns out that the ritual happened. I was the one who was summoned into this world. Oh my..."

He is Apta, a former god who has been punished by Heaven. He became human because he had violated the laws of Heaven that had been in effect, and which he had agreed to at that time.

Apta is now just an ordinary human, who doesn't even know whether he can bring out all his skills or not. Even he didn't know what happened after that, after the God of Case handed down his sentence.

"Void..."

Nothing comes out of it.

"Oh, okay, it doesn't seem to work. My powers have been completely taken away by them, so I'm a real human in this world. Then now... I need clothes, it's so cold in here."

Apta walked from inside the cave, looking for a way out with a slightly rumbling stomach.

And when his stomach growled, Apta was surprised by that.

"What is that sound? Can a human stomach speak? Why does this body feel so weak?"

Apta doesn't know what he's feeling right now. This was the first time he had felt such a sensation. He was starving, and he didn't know that.

"Um, that's weird. Oh, that's right. Since this is a human body, I need some water."

No, Apta, you need something to eat, not water to drink.

"But... what to drink? Is the water that fell on the bat suitable for drinking?"

No, Apta, you shouldn't mind that. And besides, what are you drinking that bat shit for? It's not fit to drink, it's so dirty to drink. You know what, you'll get sick if you drink that.

Apta stopped after asking himself that. He intended to want to drink it. He climbed one of the rocks that can be used as an incline to reach it. But then, knowing that it had a foul smell, he canceled his intention to drink it.

"Okay, looks like it's not worth drinking. I need to find something to wear. It's pretty cold."

It was an obvious thing for him, finding clothes. He was naked and the air around him was cold. The body he felt, the human body, responded well to his surroundings, which was why he was cold at the moment. And what's more, his body was covered in bat droppings and mud.

After walking a little further from there, he saw a light in front of him. It was the light that became the way out for him.

"Finally..."

He managed to get out of there, standing right between the cave and the incredible view. However, what he saw was not what he had seen before. Part of the forest, the forest that was so vast that he had ever seen, was now an area for housing for the residents. What he saw did not match what he saw before.

"In just a short time, humans have destroyed this forest. They have cut down the trees just to make a place for them to live."

Even so, Apta can still see the extraordinary scenery there. He even saw a huge mountain covered in white mist and saw several trees with pink leaves in bloom.

"It's so beautiful... This world is so beautiful. Even my world isn't this beautiful. No, wait! My world isn't beautiful at all. Why would I compare that world to this world?"

After saying that, and being mesmerized by the world, he looked down and just jumped up.

"Ouch..."

He fell there, his legs unable to withstand the pain of jumping from there.

"I forgot, I can't fly. Damn it..."

He was too confident to jump. He thought he could fly, forgetting that he was not a god. But at least he knew that jumping from a height was wrong. Even if he stepped on something soft though, it was still a wrong action and should not be done.

The left leg that he used as a support for him to land suffered a sprain, it hurt so much that he couldn't even walk. He walked by dragging his left leg, relying only on his right foot to walk.

"Shit. Next time, I won't jump from there again," Apta said in his mind.

***

Seeing the deer there, Apta quickly jumped from the tree. Then, he managed to land right on top of the deer.

"Sorry, maybe it's because I'm a human..."

Apta strangled the deer, knocking the deer down. The deer died there as a result of Apta's strong grip on both arms.

Only relying on the stone that he had scraped to become a little sharper, Apta began to cut parts of the deer. He made the deerskin as his clothes, to warm his body from the cold air.

"Can this blood be drunk? My stomach keeps talking, my body has been quite weak since earlier, I'm sick of them. So, can this blood be drunk?"

Before he drank the deer's blood, he wondered. He hesitated with his choice to drink the blood. But on the one hand, his stomach and body felt so weak. If he didn't drink that, he might die, he thought.

But again, because it had a bad smell, he canceled the intention to drink it.

"I'm just looking for water that doesn't have a smell. Maybe the sound can..."

Since he was hunting for clothes and something decent to drink, Apta heard a sound that seemed to fall in large and fast quantities. It sounded like the sound of water falling from above into another puddle. In other words, it was the sound of a waterfall. There is a river waiting for Apta.

Arriving there, Apta was quite happy because he managed to find clear and abundant water. He looked at the river with such pleasure that he even forgot that he left the venison just for the sake of the water.

"It doesn't smell, it also looks so clear..."

Between his palms, he took the water and kissed it. After that, he tasted it with his tongue.

"Err, no taste. But, this is the best. Unflavored water is the best."

Apta started drinking the water. The water went down his throat and then into his stomach. He also tried to clean himself which was filled with dirt and mud.

After the wet his face, he saw his face in the water.

"My hair... My hair has changed."

He was a little surprised when he saw that his hair was black. He discovered that the color of his hair was no longer purple, perhaps because his status as a god had been revoked. Even so, his face didn't change at all, remaining the face of a young man who seemed to be unwilling to be bothered by anything; calm and cool.

"Umm..." Apta stood up after being satisfied to see his face in the water. "I'm not satisfied with cleaning my body. What's more, my stomach is getting louder even though I've given them water. Alright, I'll give it a try."

What Apta wants to do is get in there, the river. He intended to clean himself there thoroughly so nothing was left behind, and wanted to drink a lot of the water without having to use his hands. His wish can only be done by going in there.

And after he jumped with confidence, he managed to get into the waters of the river, he swam there. But unfortunately, his right leg didn't reach the bottom of the river, causing him to panic.

"Oh, shit. I can't walk in the water. Damn it..."

He panicked and even had to drown several times. His feet were trying to reach something that could be used as a footstool. His hands kept rising as if to grasp something he couldn't reach.

"Finally... I survived."

He made it out of there after getting something. He quickly got to the bank of the river and caught his breath. And... he seems to be traumatized by the water.

"I'm not going to dabble in anything anymore. I almost became a part of that water."

This was a stupid move on his part, dabbling in something he didn't know and becoming a geek. Even so, this is the first step for Apta to find his five powers that are spread in five different places in this world, and eradicate the demons who live in this beautiful world.

This is the journey of an ordinary human who was once the God of the Void, Apta.

"I have to be careful again. This world is still new to me. I have to find my powers and eradicate the summoned demons of this world. I hope they don't realize that I have spread my powers in this world and gave 25% of my power to that little girl. Well, they won't realize that. After all, they don't care about the fate of this world. All they know is Heaven and Hell."

Even so, Apta will find it difficult to do what he aims. Apta did not know that he had arrived in that world after 500 years had passed since the incident, when he spread his powers to five different places and saved the little girl.

What is in front of him and waiting for him is his ignorance and adapting to his new world.
