"Haaa."
Corey exhaled heavily after releasing all his emotions in his roar.
He spent at least thirty seconds to calm his body and emotions down before he decided to take a look around.
He needed to know where he was and what his current situation was.
Was he in the middle of an ocean with no land in sight?
Was he in another world or worse, another universe?
Was a terrifying monster nearby?
Was he truly alone in this world, space or whatever it was?
Corey was prepared for a lot of things, even things that might cause him to despair but when he looked around, he had a dazed expression on his face.
He could see an island at least a thousand meters away from him.
He blinked repeatedly as he looked at it for a few seconds.
"It can't be that simple right?
My luck would definitely not just make it easy for me to survive?
Where is the terrifying monster that's meant to attack me?
Where is the death trap?
Is it on the island?
Is the island a death trap?"
Various thoughts appeared in Corey's mind as he looked at the lone island in the distance.
He looked away from the island and looked around, wondering if there was something else but he saw only water.
He turned back to the island and sighed.
"To the island it is then."
Corey spoke then started swimming.
(10 minutes later.)
Corey stood on the shore of the island with water dripping down his body.
He looked at the island, observing the extremely tall trees just some meters away from him.
Seeing that no monster or beast came out from the 'forest' in front of him and there was no danger at the moment, Corey looked down at his body which was half-naked with only his boxers covering his little brother.
He spread out his palm and a towel appeared from his inventory.
Since he knew he was going to enter the dungeon which was filled with water, he looked for a clean towel in one of the rooms of the dormitory.
After using the towel to clean himself he looked at his soaked boxers with a frown.
He sighed softly then he removed the boxers, throwing them away.
He brought out a clean set of clothes and a pair of shoes which he also found in one of the rooms in the dormitory and wore them.
He then brought out Smile Reaper 2.0, gripping it tightly, he looked at the forest in front of him with cautious and cold eyes.
"Let's go."
Corey muttered then walked into the forest.
Entering the forest, Corey looked around, his cold and cautious eyes scanning his surroundings, his body ready to react the moment he sensed danger.
He kept on walking and walking, not knowing the right direction to take, he just decided to walk straight.
Ten minutes later, Corey noticed something weird, something disturbing.
The only living things he had seen apart from the trees were insects, he had not seen a single animal, whether small, tiny or large.
The forest was also quiet with the only sound been emitted was the swaying of the leaves on the trees.
The forest felt ominous in Corey's eyes.
Corey became more cautious and gripped Smile Reaper 2.0 tightly.
He kept on walking and walking for who knows how long until he reached a clearing.
The clearing was approximately 50 meters wide and at the center of this clearing was a wooden hut.
Corey looked at the hut for a few seconds before he looked around.
He did not walk straight to the hut but walked at the edge of the clearing, observing every single detail he could see.
After walking round the clearing twice, Corey came back to his previous position and looked at the hut at the center of the clearing.
He picked up a stone and threw it in the clearing, checking to see if there was a trap or something but nothing happened.
He then walked behind a tree with a stone in his hand and after hiding behind the tree, he threw the rock at the hut, not with so much force that it would damage the wooden hut.
He was expecting something to happen but after the stone hit the hut, nothing happened.
He waited for a few seconds, nothing happened.
He waited for a few minutes, nothing still happened.
Seeing that nothing was happening, he walked out from behind the tree and decided to check out the hut.
If possible, he would not want to check out the hut but not knowing where he was and the forest been relatively empty with the hut been the only thing that was different in the forest, he had no choice but to check it out.
Walking to the door, he exhaled before he opened it a little to get a peek at what was inside the hut.
He hid behind the door and peeked inside, expecting to see something strange, something weird, something disturbing or something dangerous since that's what always happens to him in situations like this whenever he opens doors.
But as he looked inside the hut, he was stunned seeing a normal looking room.
It had a wooden chair, a wooden table, a fire place, a shelf filled with books and various other stuffs.
He frowned and thought.
'Can't be that easy right?'
He hid behind the door, not moving from his spot.
He observed the room for anything strange and dangerous, he even observed the door he was holding.
He had almost lost his life one too many times that right now, he knew he had to be calm and careful in situations like this.
He observed the room for a minute before he stopped and decided to enter the hut.
pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ He didn't find anything weird in it, everything seemed normal which just made it more weird and ominous in Corey's eyes.
Corey stepped into the hut gripping Smile Reaper 2.0 tightly.
Stepping into the hut, he looked around once again. He even looked back, wondering if the 'danger' he was expecting would suddenly appear behind him.
But as if to show that his worries were all for naught, nothing happened, the door was left open, no monster, no ghost, nothing was behind him or in this room.
'Am I just overthinking things?'
He thought as he walked to the door and closed it gently.
Although it felt like the hut was safe, he was not going to let his guard down until he was 100% sure it was safe.
Tap
"How did you get here?"
"FUCK!! WHO?!!"
Corey shouted and turned back with extreme shock and fear hearing a voice so close to him.
Just as he looked back, his pupils dilated as he saw a man with a long white beard, long white hair and golden eyes standing behind him with one of his hands on his shoulder.
Corey tried to shrug off the hand but like as if the hand was glued to his body, he could not shrug it off at all.
Knowing that he was in a dangerous situation, he stabbed with Smile Reaper 2.0 towards the man's neck as fast as he could.
He expected the man to dodge or at least remove his hand from his shoulder but what he saw next was forever etched into Corey's memories.
Just as Smile Reaper 2.0 was just a centimeter close to the man's neck, two fingers suddenly appeared out of nowhere in Corey's eyes and held Smile Reaper 2.0 by the tip.
Before Corey could react, Corey saw the man pinch Smile Reaper 2.0 and in the next instant, a crack formed on the spear head.
The crack spread from the spear head and reached the entire body of the spear, causing cracks to appear all over Smile Reaper 2.0.
Just when Corey thought that was the end, Smile Reaper 2.0 turned to dust, causing Corey's mind to blank out for a second.
He looked down at his hand which was holding the remains of Smile Reaper 2.0.
Just as he was about to look at the man which killed Smile Reaper 2.0, his vision went dark and he went unconscious.
He fell towards the floor but the man caught him with one hand, he looked at Corey with a strange light in his eyes before he spoke.
"I've not had a good barbecue in a while now. Seems I can have one now."
