My God-like Adventure in Another World Chapter 1

Chapter 1 

Upon waking up, I see one thing: a dark pillar of smoke coming from a river. I start heading towards the smoke. But on my way I notice something peculiar with the place I came up on: it was scorched black. My surroundings was a beautiful forest minus the giant smoke pillar. I start walking in a brisk past.  But when I get to the river, my attention is drawn to a burning carriage. With something that looks like lizards sitting next to it. And near them was a cage with a girl who looked like she was 13-14 years old. She is crying. 

When I was about 10 meters away from them I started to hear the lizard`s conversation. 

Lizard1:" So when are we going to move to the base?" 

Lizard2:" Id say when night fall." 

Lizard3:" Ok but what about the hostage? We should take her with us. I bet she will fetch a good price on the slave market."

Lizard1:" Ha ha ha ha yes that’s true. "

The girl starts to squirm and the second lizard screams at her to shut up. Then the third one gets up and walks to the cage with a whip. It is Obvious he's going to hit her with it. 

The third one starts to whip her while saying "You know the punishment for talking don’t you? Its 20 lashes."

Girl:" Please no...!" She screams. " I didn't mean to do it.!"

Lizard1:" Liar! You did that on purpose!" He says while he starts to whip her.  

I look at the procedure with disgust, but don’t try to stop it. I know I can't stop them so I don’t even try. 

Girl:" Nyaa! Please stop it hurts! Please no more! Some one help me!"

Lizard2:" Shut up you b.i.t.c.h. This would not happen if you had kept quiet!" 

Each time the whip hits that girl gets me angrier. It feels like I'm going to go crazy watching it, but I can't help her. 

But then I remembered I was supposed to get G.o.dlike power. So how do I activate them? Immediately when I asked my self the old man appeared. 

Old man:" To activate your powers, you need to imagine the thing you want to create. For example: to obtain a sword, imagine the pommel, the handle, the blade and it's sharp edge." 

Me:" S-So like this?"

As I reply this, I concentrate and picture a tantô in my mind. I think of a short, thin and curved blade with a sharp edge. But what appeared in my hand wasn't a tantô. Instead, a long jet-black katana materialised. 

Old man:" Good, very good start"

says the old man.

Old man:" But remember: even you have a limit to how long you can have this activated. The bigger the thing you conjure, the shorter you can have it activated. "

Me:" So if I train... I can conjure for longer periods of time?"

Old man:" Something like that."  

I look at the katana,  still surprised.

Old man:" So... when  are you going to save her."

Asks the old man, looking at the scene.

Me:" Save her? Why should I."

Old man:" Well she knows about this world.It could be useful to you right?"

Me:" I guess that is true but... it will be annoying to have to explain to her. who I am. But then again I don’t need to do I?"

Old man:" ...Well I will be leaving now."

Me:" Wait a minute, what if I f.u.c.k up and get my self killed?"

Old man:" You die. You got a second chance, don’t waste it."

I haven't planned on dying yet. As I say that the man starts to disappear. 

I then start to plan my attack. So should I attack when they are getting ready to leave or right know. If I attack right know then I will take them by surprise but If I wait then they wont have any weapons at hand. But how do I beat them. I mean I have the black katana but I don’t have combat experience. So my chances of success are rather thin.  

Please stop just please stop I cant take any more screams the girl. 

You made noise you know you are not allowed to do that right? 

Hearing this I decide to stop them right now. I start charging right at the first one that has a spear. 

The lizard with the spear turns around when he feels bloodl.u.s.t behind him.  

Just when he turn around I swing my sword and cut him in half.  

The 3 other lizards turn around and notices their comrade cut in half the start to scream. 

We have an intruder you stay with the girl and guard her she cannot be let go. We lose her and we lose our pay. 

Yes sir i will guard the package. 

The 2 other lizards start moving towards me. Their equipment looks ragged like it hasn't been maintained.  

You why did you have to interfere with our work screams one of them. 

You people peeked my interest. I need to try this skill and rescue the girl not that the last part really matter. 

As I say that they start to charge me with spears. I notice something. I'm surprisingly calm for a first time real combat experience. 

One of the spear men has already arrived next to me and starts his thrust. 

In the last second I dodge and the lizard who expected some resistance stumbles over me and trips. With 1 light swing I swing down my sword and it hits his neck cutting as if I was cutting b.u.t.ter. When the other lizard seas my actions he gets enraged and swings his spear to abuse  some of it range.  

I jump over the spear and cut it of with my blade. The lizard looks dumbfounded and tries to run away. 

I decide not to chase after him thinking it wont be worth the trouble.  

I start to approach the last one who's shaking. 

You I call on him leave this place.  

Wait what the lizard looks dumbfounded over my order. You are just goanna let me go? 

No I say and lash my sword at his neck he didn't even get a chance to react.  

When I slowly approach the cage the girl inside start squirming and trying to get as far away as possible.  

Stay away from. Don’t come closer she screams. 

When I get to the cage I notice something. Its unlocked but why hasn't she tried to escape yet? 

You do know that the lock on the cage is open right? Why haven't you tried to escape yet? 

The lock is open! What! As she says this she tries to push the cage door open but is to week to do so. 

When I reach down to open the door she screams. Get away from me. 

Why? I then look at my self and notice that I'm covered in blood.  

I'm not going to hurt you. Calm down. 

You are a human and we don’t trust humans. 

Wait you don’t trust humans? Why? 

Your kind kidnap us and sell us as slaves. 

I see so that’s why you didn't want me to help you. We will just have to make do. What is your name?  

I don’t want to give my name to a human. 

Listen here you'll have to cooperate if you want to survive stop being so stingy.
