Chapter 2 : I never asked for that

Previous Chapter

"*yawn* Woa! Was I sleeping?" I ask myself as I slowly get up from...grass?

Yes grass. I was sleeping...on grass...What the fuck just happened? And why my skin is all grayish and...

"Wait WHAT?!" I shout. All my skin was now gray!

'What's that? Am I dreaming?'

Just to verify this hypothesis, I held my hand and slap myself into the face-

"Owowowowow!" I scream. For a moment I tough I've broke my jaws!

I take a look at my hand, my grayish hand. Or maybe silverish hand in fact, it kinda look likes some metal...

"Metal..." I mutter pensively.

Then it hit me.

"Oh no..." I say anxiously as I remember the event of yesterday. The ticket, the lady, the theater, the deal...

I can't believe it, this was REAL?! Now even though I'm an open-minded person I absolutely don't believe in gods. In fact I always tough that the true concept of gods is completely ridiculous. And now a real goddess, the freaking goddess of Chaos, Eris herself, visited ME?! That makes no sense, I'm just a normal guy with no ambition! Why did she choose me to participate in her game? I mean, it's quite an honor but now I have to cope with the fact that I am in another universe and that I got 3 superpowers.

“mmmm what were they by the way?” I ask myself. “Let's see...hem…there was Auto-Reflex...Gamma radiation manipulation and well metal mimicry.

This last one quite proved me that it worked. That explain the silverish skin tough. In fact, when I think about it, it's kinda cool. I've got a metal body so I'm pretty durable, I can manipulate gamma radiation which are really powerful (being a sort-of nerd quite help knowing that) and I've got Auto-Reflex which means that I can automatically evade attacks if I'm right. Man I'm kind of a big deal now! Of course I know nothing about this universe and I'm sure I will get my ass kicked for having tough that, so let's not getting to much cocky right now, I don't want to temps the universe even more.

“Well I should be happy. I wanted something to happens and you know what? something happens! Incredible don't ya think?” Did I said kinda sarcastic? Well in fact I'm always sarcastic when the occasion show up. It's a good thing you know? That means that I'm not going to held my head and cry or start descending into madness.

'So! Grumbling on my new condition won't lead me anywhere, so what do I do?' I tough.

Well the question was kinda simple, but also quite complicated. I surely can't return home, not only because Eris won't let me do that but also because I, well, don't really want to go back. I mean if you were living an eternity of nearly boredom, and then you suddenly throw into another world by a god (well a goddess in my case) which also gives you one to fives superpowers and let you do anything you want, would you go back to the boredom? Even though this world might be dangerous, and I know that I'm now without home, money or food but I can cope with that. The thing is, for all the disadvantages, you are still much better here than home. Just take it easy and live with what you've got.

'So what could I do? Why not exploring this world? It's kinda cool when you think about it. Yeah I think I could do that. But first of all...'

“I need to see if there is any sort of civilization nearby” I said. Considering how boring it would be to watch someone wander into a completely inhabited world I'm pretty sure that the world where Eris send me is occupied. However, I don't think they could be humans, the probability of that is really small. But I can cope with aliens. Well, inter-dimensional aliens in that case.
“Let's see what I got nearby.” I quietly said.

As I look around (and get up by the same occasion), I saw that I'm in some sort of big clearing, with a small layer of grass and flowers. I saw a big forest on my left but that's for another time, I don't want to know what are the super-predators of this world right now. To my right I saw a quite elevated hill in the distance, which is perfect because I needed a good viewpoint.

“Well let's go” I said. The hill wasn't too far but I needed to walk a little before reaching it, so I begin to walk in it's direction.

If there is something that I really appreciate in my new condition, it's that I don't feel really different. Maybe a little more heavy but it's barely noticeable. Apart from that I don't have any issues to walk, breath or anything. I'm quite glad of that because I don't want to live in a body that feels constantly uncomfortable.
Also the world were I was sent is really beautiful, green all over the land, clear blue sky, truly what you would see in a fantasy world. Maybe exploring this place could more than just fun, I could get used to a such a wonderful world. In mine, there isn't much places like that left.

So after a little walk I finally reach the hill which is even taller than I tough. Perfect viewpoint indeed. I tranquilly walk to the top and admire the view.

“wow...” Is all I can say as I stare to this world. It was even better from above: more green that seems to extend indefinitely, a forest so big that I couldn't see the end and what seem to be some sort of...village?

'Is that...a middle age village?' I tough as I look upon it. The house seemed to be made of wood and stone with a straw roof. I couldn't see any sort of advanced technology. Maybe I am in a fantasy world, these always seems to be blocked into the middle age. But that wasn't a big deal, as long they have showers and bathroom that is.

'Well, better keep moving. Let's see what we have here.'

With this tough in mind, I start to walk toward the village. It's not like I have a better choice anyways and I need some bit of information on this world at last.

“And I say YEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAHYEAHEH~” I sing happily as I continue to walk toward the village.

It's been a long time since I’d sung. Usually, that means my mental condition is good. Also it help beguile the time while walking, because there's not much else to do and I really wanted to sing that song. After all it helped me discover the internet.
I also notice that I've been walking quite a long time and the sun was beginning to fold, so I decided to accelerate the pace a bit. Everybody knows that, in a fantasy world, the worst monsters always comes out at night and I don't want to makes friends with them. Fortunately the village wasn't very far anymore. Unfortunately, I was beginning to heard strange noise coming from the wood that follow the plains where I was. I'm even sure I've seen some sort of green eyes in the forest, no idea what that was but don't want to find out now.

Finally, after a long march, I was in front of the village. Which now that I take a closer look at it, is really some sort of middle age city with straw for roof, stone for walls and all that stuff. I was also hearing some talks. But what was truly surprising, is that they seemed to be...ENGLISH?!

“What the fuck? They speak English? How is that possible?” I asked myself.

The idea that I could in fact have fallen into a human world came to my mind but I wasn't really sure, so I decided to investigate. I enter the village and move toward the voice, particularly one that seemed to speak alone. As I move around the corner of the house next near the voice, it seemed to came towards me. And then I saw...nothing?

“WOA?! What is that?!” A feminine voice yells in front of me.

'Huh? Who said that?' I tough confusingly.

The voice seemed to come from a little more lower than me, so I lower myself...and I saw it…

A blue...black maned...yellow eyed…little pony...with big cartoon eyes…

I think the sentence “What the actual fuck” describe the situation well.

“Who are you?” she respond with a clearly surprised look on her face.

Oh excuse me, a blue, black maned, yellow eyed, TALKING, little pony with big cartoon eyes.

What the actual fuck indeed.
