You know how everyone of those reination stories have the main character just show up in a new world just fine and totally not on the verge of death? Yeah I didn't get that treatment. Instead what I got was one seaking a deal with some weird blinding thing(I refuse to sider whatever that erson) and the I was screaming because it was like a truck hit me and I didn't have the good luck to die immediately. The part got a bit .... fuzzy.-

  Look I'm not making excuses or anything but I legitimately 't recall exactly what happened as panic set in and I tried to do anything I could to fix myself. All I know was I felt a surge of something rush out of me before I passed out. When I came to I wasn't in pain anymore and was in for quite the shock. First thing I noticed was that I was half naked with only a simply pair h shorts on. When I say rough I mean it too as it was like burp or something with literal rope holding the waist up.-

  The sed thing I noticed however was that on my chest and stomach were bck markings like a tattoo I definitely didn't have before. It probably would have looked badass if I wasn't kinda out of shape and had a little bit of a belly o fat mind you. It looked kinda like a ring of fmes with a weird symbol in the middle of it. At the bay mind I somehow kly what the markings represented, my cursed teique {Hell's Fe}. I instinctively knew what the teique did but that didn't mean I couldn't be a little irritated that I had no idea how to use it.-

  With a sigh I could only choose to ighat for now and take a look around to see where the hell I was.

  'Trees, pnts, and rocks as far as I see. This tells me nothing beyond the fug obvious, I'm in a forest.' I thought with a groan.

  "What was it all those survivor shows kept saying about situations like this? I think it was to head west, maybe?" I muttered before cheg the suns position.

  To this I just looked at the shadows the trees cast. I watched the shadows food hour or so before I felt fident that I had figured out which dire I should go.

  'Even if the sus in the east or north or some other weird shit in this world I at least know I have a dire of some sort.' I thought with a smile as I ventured forth.

  "Fuck! Shit! Damnit! Ow!" I cursed like a particurly verbal sailor as I walked because as I failed to realize previously walking barefoot through a forest is actually painful as hell. Every few steps oherwise soft forest floor led to me stepping on a small sharp rock or hidden stiy personal favorite, antlers. Did you know deer apparently shed those damn things? Because I very much did not until now and believe me stepping on them barefoot is not a fun experience.-

  I kept them though as I was trying to get my teique to work sine shoes would be fan fug tastic. My teique {hell's fe} was quite simple in how it worked and had a lot of potential(kinda why I chose it). The way it worked was that I could take anything that came from a living being and through the teique "fe" it into a different shape by my own imagination. Deer antlers qualified obviously so I wao "fe" the ones I had collected via stepping on them into a pair of slip on shoes, crocs.-

  My problem came in the form of me not actually having cursed energy to use the teique. No fug idea how that happeo be ho with you as an ieique and cursed energy to use said cursed teique were kinda a package deal but here I was with a teique and no energy. The worse part was that I know for a fact that the energy I did have was NOT the curse variety. Why because none of my a the stant pain in my feet was doing anything to it at all of course.-

  The energy just flowed through my body in a nice calm manner regardless of how I tried to get it to do anything at all. Holy speaking if it wasn't for the pain in my feet I might even appreciate the view as like most forests it was kinda ni this one, cool yet warm and full of life. As a result I noticed immediately when shit got quiet all of a sudden.-

  "Gihehe~"

  I heard a sound ing from my left and my attention narrowed in on it as a sort of primal fear came to me. The sort of feeling one might get at the zoo when a lion attacks the gss separating you from them. I knew why too the moment the source of the sound jumped into view. A humanoid creature standing about four feet tall with green skin and a sy build holding a wooden club, a goblin.-

  The creatures weird yellow eyes that reminded me of a goats locked on to me and my fight or flight instinct kicked in. I immediately got in a boxing stance while holding an antler in my hand like it was a on. "THUD-UMP THUD-UMP!" my heart beat was the only sound I heard as it pounded in my ears and I prepared to enter a tango of life ah with the very much hostile monster.-

  "THWACK!"

  An arrow came out of seemingly nowhere and sank into the goblins forehead before I could however. The creature fell on it's back without any fanfare and twitched a bit befoing still. It was so sudden that I couldn't even flinch before my foe was dead. This didn't make me rex however as logie that whatever or whoever killed the thing might be a far bigger threat.

  "You rex, if we wanted you dead you wouldn't even realize it before you hit the ground."

  A female voice spoke from behind me causio leap away from the sound by reflex.

  "Rather twitchy this one eh captain?" another female voice asked sounding amused.

  From the shadows around me several woman walked out where I could see them in various types of clothing includial armor and even some that were wearing almost nothing at all. Those ones I noticed all had dark hair and skin and were eyeing me in a way that made me unfortable. A woman eared twentyish like me with reddish brown hair and a green cloth shirt with no sleeves and browher pants with a sash and gloves spoke.-

  "I am the captain of the Artemis familia, Rethusa! Why are you here in the forest? And why do you y clothes beyond those shorts?" she demanded with a serious expression.
