Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: Is this the End?

Ryu's heart beat like creazy, it felt as if he had a huge gapping hole in his stomach.

Everything around him felt fading away, he heard someone shouting his name but he couldn't see who it was. All the light started to disappear around him.

Everything around him went black and it was suddenly getting so cold. Out of pain the only thing Ryu could think was how to breathe, because it was getting more and more difficult as if he had no longer the strength to breathe.

He couldn't feel his body and his surroundings.

^Am I dead? Is this how death feels?^

Ryu felt nothing at all, not even the pain anymore.

[Does host want to use [Random Teleportation] item?]

Ryu didn't knew what was happening around him so he decided to say yes because he had no other choice.

^Yes^

The darkness continued endlessly. It was as if time had stopped and he was trapped at this space.

Ryu tried to count the time he was in this desolate space, but it was an impossible task. He coudn't even tell if seconds or hours had passed or even full days.

After an endless time which could be years or just seconds he suddenly felt his body again.

He was standing on the ground, but it felt strange because his body was so light.

Ryu slowly opened his eyes. He was standing in front of a poorly built wooden house. Around him people where just passing by. They didn't even feel bothered by his huge appearance and just casually walked by.

Just when he turned his head around he saw a man walking into him. Ryu wanted to evade the man but it was already to late.

But instead of walking into him, the man just passed through him as if Ryu wasn't even there.

A few seconds later the man appeared again on the other side of Ryu's body and continued his way as if nothing had happend.

Ryu was stunned in shock. Was he a ghost or something like that? He tried to touch another human, but his claw just passed through him.

It was very strange that he could just pass through everything even walls. He couldn't open his system, couldn't breathe fire or activate his divine ability.

Wandering through the village Ryu noticed that most of the humans he passed by were rather poorly clothed. Their cloths were out of a irregular fabric with some patches. Overall their cloths were also dirty and smelled as if they haven't washed them a long time.

A few were walking around with swords tied around their hips within a sword sheath.

The houses weren't special either. Most of them were build out of wood and had straw on their roofs. Some houses even had stone walls out of stacked stones, but that was the most advanced he saw. All of them weren't build high, just one simple floor.

After wasting enough time, Ryu went back to the house he first stood before when he appeared in the village.

The house had the same hight as him so he had to bow his head a bit down to look into the house.

He walked through the entrance door. There were two wooden chairs inside and a wooden desk.

Till now there wasn't anything extraordinary inside. LLuckily he could just pass thrugh the things. Otherwise he would have allready destroyed the entrance and the roof.

Inside the living room was another door where he went through. In the next room stood a bed made out of wood and straw.

A human lay in the bed and out of his expectations next to him lay a silver golden fox with two beautifully shimmering tails. It ws the same fow he had seen in his dream some time ago.

Out of his expections the fox turned his head and looked at him. First the fox seemed to be frightened and shocked seeing such a dreadfull being. But seconds after the first shock, the fox composed itself and stared at him with curiosity.

Suddenly the human next to the fox in the bed moved, trying to get up from his bed and all vanished again.
