Chapter 96

"Isn't this the forest I came from?" I gasped, now remembering that I had landed in this forest the first time I had come to this era.

"Oh well." With my head down and my center of gravity lowered, I dashed into the forest alongside many of the smaller animals that happened to have a problem running away due to their small physiques.

I could barely care about them, running past them without an ounce of remorse. This was a life or death situation after all. Why would I care about something that isn't me?

I could only listen to their shrill screams that resounded after they had been devoured by the orange flames that coated the entire land with an orangy-red hue.

Even the sky was semi-orange, something I could only assume was due to the sun rising in the distance.

"As long as I stay in this forest, I am a dead man... I need to find a way out of this" I muttered under my breath, yet even that had become difficult due to the heat that entered my lungs and scorched me from the inside every time I breathed.

The flames were getting closer and closer.

I could feel their heat on the back of my neck as if a scorching hot iron rod was being held up extremely close to my neck to see how long I could go before exclaiming out in pain, yet even doing that would have burned my lungs so I persisted.

'WHY IS IT SO FAST!' I inwardly screamed.
