The Beginning

Seth fond himself in pitch black darkness he could not see anything are even feel anything all he knew was that he was alive. He tried to take a step but fond that he could not feel his legs he then realized he could not feel his entire body. His body felt empty and hollow but strangely full at the same time as if his entire being was a contradiction. He began moving forward and soon saw a light he then started approaching that light at an even faster speed after he reached the light he soon realized he was in a cave after leaving the cave he started looking at the world around him in amazement fantastical creatures in the skies. Massive mountains off at the distance and tall trees as far as the eye can see he then started looking down at himself. "Damn it like I suspected I'm not human looking down at myself I realized I was a gender less cluster of pitch black smoke in the shape of a human male" "There seems to be no limit to how I can shape and transform my body though I can't seem to increase my form by growing in size bot I can compress my form and become things smaller than a human male of roughly six feet in height". Seth continued to experiment with his body as to best grow accustomed to his new being after learning what he understood to be the full depth of his capabilities. "While it seems I'm not alive as most would understand it I am alive in the general sense of personal consciousness I believe it would be wise to assume I am capable of dieing if my current form is destroyed by normal means". Seth experimented more in the cave he originally awoke until and wait until night fell but after what felt like hours of waiting and the sky not darkening in the slightest he decided to just go into the forest. "Fuck I originally wanted to wait until night fell and use that darkness to hide myself from anyone that my not take kindly to my current body but the sun just won't go down. But I suppose that can be seen as a good thing it makes me more quickly realize this world and earth likely aren't close relative to one another in time though I don't have enough information to confirm this. After wondering for quite awhile and seeing nothing Seth came across a group of human looking beings dressed in outfits that looked almost identical to ancient Chinese clothing but there's looked much more neatly fitted on them and far more regal than the mass-produced versions of earth. There appeared to be wounded there was 5 of them in total three men and two women one of the men was much more wounded than the four others to the extent of losing an arm. Seth quickly hid in the shadow of a nearby tree this was one of the abilities he learned he now had after experimenting in the cave. "The one with the missing arm seems to be the leader of the group as he keeps shouting at the others but that could just be because he is missing an arm can't say I wouldn't have the same reaction in his shoes. "Luckily it seem they can't sense my presence in these shadows it does seem like they were just involved in intense fight as the blood and wounds seem pretty fresh should I try going closer to here what there saying though I dought I will be able to understand them". But contrary to Seth's original beliefs he could understand them though he was sure they were no speaking any language he knew. (Unknown1 ) " Damn it I told you idiots that we were not ready to fight that thing now look what happened Oliver hand was cut off". (Unknown2) " David please calm down". (Unknown3) "Aiko is right we can't afford to fight amongst ourselves". "Oh there seems to be internal problems among the group members but what's more surprising is that I'm capable of under standing there language. Also they may be wearing Chinese theme clothing but they have what seems to be both European and Japanese style names". (Oliver) "David the others are right I'll be fine we can just buy a healing potion it will cost a bit but it all be worth it that monster is now badly injured with no way to heal in a short term". (David) " but in there lie's the problem how will we even find the damn thing". (Aiko) "don't worry I placed a tracking insignia on it leg though normally it would catch on and destroy the tracker immediately but it so heavily wounded I doubt it will notice by the time we go buy a healing potion and come back to kill it for good". (David) "fine but let's make sure everyone is one the same page this time what do you think Xiao yin". (Seth) "Oh it seem they are not only have Chinese style clothing and appearances but they even have Chinese names as well as western one I wonder what makes such a diverse group of cultures blend together in such a bizarre manner like this". (Xiao Yin) " I think this is likely are greatest and possibly only chanse to take down a [CORE FORMATION] stage beast so I say we do it but what do you think we do Si Yu". (Si Yu) "I also think we should do it there is a risk but we come too far to give up now I'm in". The group of beings continued to talking about the plan to hunt down the monster they repeatedly mentioned up until they began to leave and prepare for the upcoming battle. (Seth) "all this talk of [CORE FORMATION] and hunting I can safely say I'm not on earth moreover I'm in some sort of magic world since I've come this far I think it would be wise to follow them to the town there were just talking about". Seth then proceeded to enter the shadow of the one called Si Yu as she seemed the most quiet and timid while David seemed the most aggressive and Xiao Yin seemed the most observant while the female called Aiko was out of the question as she had openly made it known that she was a tracker so who was to say that she could not know when someone was tracking her. And finally Oliver was out of the question as he was the most injured so the others would be more observant with matters that came to him make the best choice to hitch a ride on obvious. They soon got to a camp with horses but these horses had eight legs and two horns on either side of their heads the group with Seth on shadows moved quickly on the bizarre beasts and after what felt like a few hours they began approaching a massive stone walls. .
