Chapter 49: Maria (Part 1)

My name... is Maria, I woke up in this unknown land for some reason, and... I can't tell you more than this... I am not -***- and that is all.

When I opened my eyes I woke up in this desolate land and it seems unknown to me, even I can discern what this world is and... it is kind of strange to me.

I only wore a delicate clothing made of pure silverly-milky white and a pattern beautiful made out of golden silk

I stood up and walked around hoping to find an answer, but unfortunately I did not find anything, I found myself exhausted and hungry as I persistently chose to pursue the answer thinking that I cannot get hungry as long as I focus solely on my goal,

Thinking that once I reached my goal the hunger and thirst might disappear... but it was pure foolishness for me to believe that and when I realized I was wrong, it was when my legs and feet gave out and barely moving and my stomach gurgling like crazy, I crawled on a nearby lake and there... I saw myself covered in bruises, dirt, leaves, ash, and many things covering my body.

Realizing my mistake, I then used the last bit of my strength to eat some grass or anything I could find hoping that I could live, I then scooped up some water from the lake drinking it for being picky cannot help you survive in this strange and harsh world.

"If this was in that place or I have 'that' I wouldn't have to be forced to eat this junk much less forced to eat it" I said,

Just as I finished eating, I then sat by the tree fighting the pain in my abdomen, since I have no knowledge on what is edible or not, giving me an unknown sickness which I've never felt before.

I tried to persevere through the pain that felt like forever, even though it only lasted for 10-15 minutes, after I survived the crisis of my body I felt weak, luckily I sat on a tree nearby to recover my stamina.

After resting where I can finally slightly move I then rushed to the lake and stripped myself cleaning both my body and clothing, then after that, I then hung my clothes leaving it to dry in the scorching warm sun, luckily I found a huge amount of humongous leafs which I used to cover my body.

Afterwards, I then grabbed my clothes and put it on.

I finally readied myself to move forward hoping to find my way out, to be honest, I've never felt this desperate before, but still everything is a first time for me to understand especially what it means to survive.

I've never felt this difficulty before I found myself in this strange and unknown world, but then I heard something approaching.

-[Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!]-

"Something huge is coming, I better hide", I said to myself.

I then rushed towards the Bark of the giant tree, fortunately that tree have a small hole which I can fit in, I then heard the rumbling getting closer and louder, I covered my mouth to hide my breathing even though I am small enough to be unnoticed, it's better to be cautious especially in this strange world who knows the beasts in this world posses senses beyond imagination.

As the rumbling drew closer, the tree I hid myself began to shake, I began to feel nervous because I felt like the tree is being picked up by the creature.

I gather up my courage to peek through the bark of the tree to see what the beast or creature looks like.

I placed my hands on the edge of the bark and slowly raised my head, and there I saw... A giant basilisk, basilisks are already huge but this abnormally large beast is beyond normal concepts, basilisk as babies are 10-12 inches after hatching from an egg and 30-50 meters as an adult, but this... is just absurd, its size is 60 meters yet It barely even come close to the bark of this giant collosal tree, I then started to wonder...

'It can't be... don't tell me it's an infant?' I thought to myself, because there's no way something like that is an adult I've seen countless basilisks I even raised some before but, if this is just a baby then how tall are the adults?

Even the Divine basilisks are that size as an adult, how big is this tree... no! how big are the

beasts in this world?

Are there even bigger beast outside the forest? how about the sky? or maybe the sea?

'I better get out of here while that thing is still distracted, I better think of surviving first more than thinking about these things' I said to myself before leaving,

The longer I stay at the same place the quicker it will be for beasts to find me, even though the beasts in this world seems Larger than normal beasts compared to the beast I raised, the trees and plants itself seems to be larger than the world tree as well,

After I left the beast alone I then started to wander around hiding in plain sight against predators, this world is not 'MY' place anymore,

As I traveled I realized that not only is the young basilisk big even bugs are comparable to buildings, they may be small compared to the young basilisk I saw earlier but that's besides the point, moving on.

After wandering for some time, I then rested on a Giant (Boulder)Rock on a sealike lake, I then tested there for quite some time not realizing I slept... after realizing this I then stood up and prepared myself to move.

But before I could even move even further, my vision suddenly turned Dark.
