Chapter 4 - Blessing of the cold Moon Goddess

And as if answering his call, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.

But.. suddenly it vanished, as if the pain was never there. scared and confused.. garrie slowly opened his eyes, what he saw... and felt was very confusing, instead of the hard ground, he felt... Nothing, and his body felt weightless, as if he was a ghost.

'I must be dead, but i didn't expect hell to look like... this!'

he was surprised at what he saw, it was nothing like hell... let alone heaven. His surroundings were covered with ice and thick fog, and in front of him... was a mountain of dead bodies... all covered in the pool of blood. there were many dead bodies lying on the ground and it looked like they were killed just moments ago. 

Garrie was horrified.

The dead bodies were of solders, who looked like they were from medieval times judging by their clothes, but the clothes didn't look like they were made to survive in the cold environment. And as Garrie tried to look more into the distance he saw a man who was still breathing, Garrie could tell because of the movement of the man's shoulders. but what horrified Garrie even more than before was... that man's abdomen was cut open... and his guts were falling out and spilling blood on the

man's iron armor. 

Garrie couldn't help but feel pity for the man, but he wasn't nauseated at the sight... like he just couldn't feel the emotion that any normal human would have felt... disgust. then he stood up, he looked at his own body, he looked skinny and he was wearing the same clothes as that man, the same thin clothes with the armor wore loosely over them. then he realized the body wasn't nearly like his own, it felt like it was of a young boy, who was something like 13 years old.

Then Garries eyes widened, not on the fact that he felt like body wasn't his, but what he saw...

.....a sword was imbedded deep in his chest, piercing through his heart that has long stopped beating and a good half of the sword sticking out of his back.

'am i a ghost or a zombie'

was the only thing he thought, because the world has long stopped making sense... and the fact that it wasn't even his own body why would he even care about it. and to forget the fact that he was supposed to be dead, Garrie stated walking toward the who was still alive... although barely. then on his way Garrie heard a scream coming from his right, he rushed towards it.. as there was no point in caution as he looked... more than dead. 

The closer he was getting in direction of the screams, the louder thy were getting, until.... they stopped. Garrie started to see a silhouette walking toward him piercing through the fog.

Then he saw... A beautiful woman , with pale smooth skin, as smooth as snow, with long silver hair flowing in air , she had blue eyes that appeared to be crystals that were not from this world , she was wearing an white armor that was made of dragon scales. she looked like the moon had taken the shape of a human, her every step was freezing the world more and more, garrie was almost mesmerized by her beauty.

....Almost.

He would have appreciated the scenery if there wasn't for the blood frozen all over her armor and there wasn't a human head in her hands. he couldn't see the head clearly, but it couldn't be helped. As she created an ice shard out thin air that was one second levitating in the air beside her and the next second it separated his head from his body and killed him... as if he wasn't already dead. as the world was spinning... Garrie closed his eyes.

then he as he opened his eyes, he was surrounded by people. As he came back to his sensed Harmeet was looking at him with a smile and had cup of water in his hands. before Garrie could make sense of the situation, Harmeet the water on his face. Garrie stood up and said

"bro what are you doing!, i'm awake now!"

but Harmeet was just laughing,

"chill out bro, i was just joking around!"

followed with more laughter. as Garrie looked around he realized he was in the hall of the right part of building, it was a medium sized hall, every one was there. but that wasn't the point. Garrie asked Harmeet

"How are we still alive?, what happened?"

Harmeet replied

"I myself don't know much, but all i know is that as soon as i woke up there was a countdown by the system and just moments later it said that quest failed. i thought that we were going to die, then a snow storm appeared out of nowhere. suddenly tarn ran towards the big Ground and then as according to what he told me, the egg was broken and you were laying there without moving and.. uh... a child with white hair was drinking your blood or something?.. i don't know-"

then Tarn interrupted,

"Bro there was literally a hole as big as a hand in your chest and blood was flying out of your body and landing in the child's mouth!"

Then Garrie immediately looked at his chest but it was exactly like it looked before, bit there was a big hole in his white shirt, so...

"Then what happened?" Garrie asked

Tarn replied 

"Then the child disappeared, and almost at the same time the storm too disappeared. when i came close to you the wound had already frozen and healing. And then you slept for like 2 hours"

As if suddenly realizing something, garrie summoned the status window. there was indeed a new interface

Garrie could only stare at the system window in shock, he had got his hand on an op pet!, and it was a devil! not to mention it's abilities.

Then Garrie went outside and summoned the pet. It looked like a human child who had just turned 5 it was wearing blue and white human world cloths that was... odd, but it's blue crystal like eyes[1] and silver hair reminded him of the woman he saw in his dream. Looking at the child that reminded him of something beautiful from his world, he decided to name the child...

"Moon"

The child seemed happy and the temperature seemed to drop by some degrees, as he was wearing thin clothes he felt shivers run down his spine. he sent the child back to his soul space.

'time to test your power... uh.... 75%'

Then he imagined a ice spike, the ice spike levitated in air, it was... Uh... smaller than expected. but then

"whoa!, you can do that?"

As he looked back, everyone was staring at him,

'i guess i got... carried away by the excitement'
