Chapter 3 - pondering

Len slowly opens his eyes, and still see the strange metallic ceiling

crap...., its not a dream..

as he keep staring at the ceiling and breathing slowly, it might be better for him not to dwell it to much and accept it, thinking to much without trying to find solution just lead to his doom

i just want to drink tea in the garden full of lush green and relaxing myself, not like this..., God, I knew back then that life is temporary, but what kind of test you are putting me now.

len is kind of religious person doing good and do stuff according to the testament do really help him feel at peace, feel content, and cope with his life, but as it said, humans do have limitations, and it was acceptable, god is merciful everything has its purpose

after thinking for a while, Len decides to get up and go outside, as the wind of the dark night? sweeping he see a lot of column of tattered clothes people that he think probably a refuge?

looking at the vehicle as this big without any smoke coming out and no nozzle make him wonder, as he inspects it more, it all looks very simple. Maybe it was battery technology?

If it's using a battery, the vehicle doesn't look that modern either, which makes him wonder

I also really want to ask more information to the beard guy and other but he cant hardly communicated

Probably the best thing he can do is gesture communication, perhaps?

all the basic stuff, maybe i'l try it

then len notice the medic guy and points at him

which the medic notice and he point it to himself as Len insists then he approaches len

why i know this guy is medic?

mostly because of the bag he have and some medical stuff he bought like those bandages and serum. Also, what's with that glowing bottle with different color for?

its like a game? Like, hmmm, a potion maybe

as the medic approaches, he then salutes as Len salutes him back

and began do some gesture, pointing len himselft and then the medic

Which confused the guy as he asked, maybe with some gibberish words, and then, like, something just happen

he repeat some word to len and him slowly

Ramus? Jaiden?

i am Ramus? he is jaiden? Maybe... as the medic nod multiple time

damn... i think i have a long way to go to learn...

it feels weird using another name. I can't get used to it, so Len keeps pointing at himself and saying his word "Len"

the medic confused then somehow he understand?

after sometime len thinking he got a high rank, dragged the medic to the column of soldier and do some gestures like shooting, advancing, and hold stuff with his hand

maybe the medic get gist of it as he call some soldier like around 4 of them and do some hand gesture while saying word

the soldier do some movement and stuff like exaggerated movement, to make it more understand it, easier

Then len observe it and began to understand the multiple hand gestures. It seems the military do exist here, that will be great help especially in this dangerous place, atleast i can direct and do something about it and with it he does understand some word with the hand gesture

like "advance" "hold" "stay focus" "retreat" "stand your ground," etc

len do admit how resourceful the medic is? This guy really knows what i want...

as len made thumb gesture to thank the soldier for being cooperative

he then looks at the medic and somehow, as fast know what to do, begins to teach some word to len

he was thankful for this and began to learn slowly as he came up with showing hand gestures with his finger maybe showing numbers and writing some new words with each number he show in his finger

i wonder if this guy a teacher?

Also that pen looks like those fancy old ink pen..

As time passes, the roar began again from a distance, and fog show up

all of them prepare for the worst

somehow i decide to go near the front to lift the morale, especially given how small the soldier number compare to the monster

len was thinking of escaping before, but knowing how strange situation and different this new place is he decide to follow along and if possible learn more about it, maybe there is safe haven in this place

hold on do i escape before or i am doing scouting?

if i do scouting those higher ups guys will not looks angry and not very welcoming, right?

crap..., considering she likely want to remove my badge before..

anyway might as well prove myself by holding the line again this time

as the enemy approaches, there is a lot smaller build but at least there is no longer gigantic creature as len swiftly removes them

it feels like refreshing to move the body, this kinda thrill is fun like you are inside video game, i wonder if there is magic?

as the fight going on the medic do stay with me closely, what a thoughtful guy, with some hands movement and words it was easier to coordinate the soldiers to fortify and moving their direction by shouting

hmmm the light shoot from the gun is really tracer?, it looks like energy beam

Also i notice more that i never use saber before in my life; mostly, I am used to training martial art like karate or Muay Thai, and it's not high level either just for self defence

but this body..., i wonder why the guy I possess runs even with this kind of skills?

Alas let's clean things up first

After some time it seems the fog start to clear up and seeing the sky start to be clean as len notice there is 2 moons in the sky which is red and green color

I am realy in different world?

But before he can ponder more

Suddenly the ground shake as another fog formed up

This…

Len witnesses the fog gather and slowly form a gigantic monster

It's stupid to let it form and do nothing then

Taking no chance, Len approaches a soldier nearby soldier who has big gun shape then point it to the monster. As the soldier is confused, the medic beside len say something then the soldier lauch it with a big red beam

Then somehow the beam is absorbed, doing nothing to it

What the.., maybe just maybe the armored vehicle can do something about it

This body I possess do have no difficulty facing the monster before but this one kick my instinct not to face it upfront

Then before len can think further, the big monster starts screaming, and that impact cause each of person head to burst exploded

As the sound approach more

Len feels his head like a voice screaming inside

Arrrrghhhh what is this pain!

As he struggles in the ground in pain until his head bursts explode then there is only darkness left.

But somehow he woke up in somewhere else as he open his eyes and witnessed the 2 moons, feeling weak as his body shook a lot because of a painful experience that just happened.
