UNLIMITED SPEED

“Where am I? What happened? Oh yeah, I got pushed off a building by my brother.”

Pathetic.

“Wasn’t I impaled by I think a pole, don’t remember it happened so fast?

One moment I was quarreling with him, the next I was staring at the sky gasping for breath.”

“And then I ended up here. Well, dad won’t be happy. He had always warned me to be careful of him. Well, I tried, but I guess it is what it is.”

“But seriously where am I.”

“How long have I been floating, it’s so dark I can’t tell if I’m moving, or not but I know I am.”

“Shouldn’t I be in the afterlife, or is this the afterlife. Well, I guess I’ll have to find out.”

#

“It feels like it’s been over a month but nothing has changed.”

“I haven’t been able to sleep.”

“Wait do I even have a body right now, if I don’t then I guess spirits are incapable of sleeping.”

“When will all of this end, or is this the hell everyone talks about. Though I don’t see any fire, heck right now I’d love to see something apart from this seemingly endless darkness.”

##

“It feels like it’s been over a year since I got here, and still nothing has happened.

I want to cry, but I am incapable of doing that, this seems to be some bad joke that isn’t funny, I wonder if there is an end to this.”

“I don’t want to stay here forever!”

“I want out!”

“I want out!”

“I want out!”

“Uh what is that.”

“Is that light? it’s so small.”

“Wait. It’s getting bigger, shit it’s too bright.”

“I’m been sucked out of here finally.”

“But where am I going?”

“What is happening my thoughts are getting slower!”

“Uh, what was that? Where am I? Wait I can see. I seem to be in a forest, what is that sound it sounds like a growl do trees growl!”

“Is that a wolf? Shit, it noticed me.

Damnit, this body isn’t responding, no, no, no. Am I going to die just after waking up?”

“Respond stupid body. Oh no, there are more of them! I need to do something about this but this body is….”

“Finally some control I’ll have to get up slowly so I don’t provoke them,”

Getting up gradually he watched as the wolves circled him, seemingly waiting for the right moment to pounce.

There were four wolves in total which were only as tall as a man’s hip, so they were average.

He swept his gaze around and saw only trees.

Some were too tall, while some seemed climbable.

He had the thought of running and jumping on a tree but knew he would be dead before he got to one. And if by some miracle he did get to one, he wouldn’t be able to climb it fast enough. Which would lead to the wolves catching up to him.

Either way, he saw only death, so he simply stood there, trying his best not to show any fear in front of the wolves.

From his past knowledge, he knew that wolves mostly attacked when their prey showed signs of fear.

But even though he knew that he couldn’t help but shiver, though only slightly. He wasn’t sure if the wolves noticed, but since they hadn’t attacked, they probably didn’t.

After a few minutes, which felt like days to him, one of the wolves finally pounced at him.

Out of reflex he crouched and rolled to his right, where another wolf was getting ready.

The second wolf bit at him, but missed, since he was in motion, he immediately stood up and started running. He had managed to dodge two of the wolf’s attacks, only because they weren’t coordinated.

He kept running as fast as he could, cursing under his breath how unlucky he was to have woken up in a forest, surrounded by wolves!

After a few seconds, the wolves started to catch up.

He felt doomed, he knew that sooner or later they would catch up, heck one had tried to claw off one of his legs already, but missed, another one did the same and didn’t miss.

He stumbled and fell holding his left leg. He tried his best not to pass out from the pain, while blood spewed out of his leg badly, unfortunately, he didn’t have time to think too much about it.

One of the wolves pounced on him, but he kicked it with his uninjured leg, then another circled and clawed his left arm, and he punched its head.

But before he could complete that gesture, another wolf pounced on him then his vision went black.

“Uh I’m back here again,” he said.

“I didn’t even spend up to ten minutes,” he said in a laughing tone.

“Life sure is hard, but at least though I’m back here I know it won’t be forever.”

“Though I wonder how long I will have to stay here before I’m reborn or whatever that was. I hope it’s not in another forest filled with hungry wolves.”

“I didn’t get to explore,” he sighed.

I’m…..”

“Is that light? That was extremely fast. I thought….not again!” #@&w$##

Opening his eyes he looked around.

“I’m in another forest?” This time he stood up quickly, then swept his gaze on his surroundings.

He glanced at his body. He was currently butt naked, which he didn’t like. Crouching a bit, he tried to listen to if there were any wolves, but instead, he heard a strange sound, it was rhythmic.

They sounded like moans! “What the heck,” he muttered. Then began walking towards the sound. It came from somewhere ahead of him, so he navigated and when he got close enough, he hid behind a tree and peeked.

What he saw he wished he could unsee.

Right there a few meters from his position. Was a grown man with a muscular psyche, and a woman who was well endowed. In the act.

You would ask how he knew all this, well the reason would be none other than because they were cloth-less.

He stayed hidden behind the tree and pondered on what he could do. Well for starters he needed clothes, and there they were, on the ground.

He was closer to the clothes than the owners, but he knew that if he tried to pick them up, he would be seen by them, but he needed them.

So like every other human being, he shielded his eyes, ran like a cheetah, picked the clothes that he thought belonged to the manor, and skedaddled.

While running and navigating through the trees like a rabbit, after but a few seconds he heard a boom, and glanced back.

What he saw shocked him.

there, just about ten meters from him, the ground was visibly cracking, then he heard a voice.

“How dare you steal from me. Who do you think you are?” the man shouted.

By then, he was running with even more vigor. Meanwhile, under his breath, he kept cursing his bad luck, though the only thoughts running through his mind were:

“The humans of this world have Powers!” he was both excited and scared because if the man caught up to him he would most likely wind up dead.

While he kept running he heard another boom and looked back, what he saw looked like a movie from his former world.

He saw a man leaping from treetop to treetop, and was visibly catching up to him. He tried to move faster, but it was too late.

The man crashed around 3 meters from his position, and the shock waves slammed him into a nearby tree.

“For what you have done, and seen, I’ll have to kill you,” The man announced immediately after landing!!

Alarms rang in his head, he tried to stand but was struggling, though he eventually did the next second.

When he got up, he noticed that he was currently bleeding through his nose and that something was broken, but he didn’t have time for that, because there was a man in front of him who was emitting killing intent that made him feel choked.

He tried to fight it but was struggling to.

His mind worked overtime to try to get him something to say that could stall the angered man.

When he looked at the man, he noticed features that he wasn’t able to earlier, like that the man had short blonde hair that was neatly trimmed at its edges.

His body was well-toned and had compact muscle’s in the right places. He was around 6ft and had brown eyes, that seemed to glow.

Apart from that, his naked body glowed with a light shade of brown, which seemed connected to his strange ability. Though strangely he noticed all that in under a second.

As he kept trying to cook something up. The man disappeared, or at least he seemed like he did. But actually, he had simply dashed towards Noah, and in a fraction of a second, appeared in front of him.

Before Noah could react, he felt a punch hit his stomach. He felt like he was run over by a truck. .

The punch launched him upwards a few feet, and on getting down, the man grabbed him by his left leg and threw him towards a tree.

He felt himself float for a millisecond, just before he a felt like he slammed a brick wall, he tried his best to not pass out from the pain he was feeling,

but it seemed like he wouldn’t be able to accomplish that.

But then he saw the man slowly walking toward him!, and adrenaline pumped In him, then he saw a strange panel floating in front of his eyes.

Then everything suddenly went blurry, or more correctly he ran.
