1 Where am I?

The sound of the sea waves oozing onto the beach could be heard from a distance, the fishy smell of the sea and the hot sun creates a relaxing atmosphere.

Somewhere on the beach you could see a man lying face down on the sand with an injured head, he has an average build, wearing black jeans, black shoes and a necklace with nothing covering his upper body.

(Man's POV)

"COUGH-COUGH-COUGH…" I brushed the sand off my face.

"ARGHHHHHH-MY HEAD…" I felt like my head is going to split open from the pain, when I looked at my hands and saw blood, I started panicking.

"SHIT!!! DID I INJURE MYSELF? ARGHHH…" After a few seconds of intense pain, my head stopped hurting and I finally calmed myself down, I looked around me to see where I am.

"A beach? I don't remember coming here." I stopped for a second to think about it, but I couldn't come to conclusion "The last thing I remember was driving back from work yesterday, but that doesn't explain why I'm here." I kept trying to recall what happened last night, but I couldn't remember anything for some reason, I shook my head and got on my feet.

"Well, I guess I'll try to figure that out later, for now I have to get out of here." I looked around and see if I could find anybody to ask about my current location, but there was no sign of anyone. I started walking along the beach, hopping I could reach the end quickly.

After 15 min.

"What the hell is this? did I ended up on an island or something?" All I could see around me is water, sand and a freaking jungle on my right "I'm pretty sure I saw a monkey hanging from a tree a while ago." After a few more minutes of walking, I gave up and decided to enter the jungle.

"FUCK IT! I'M GOING IN! maybe I could find some clues on where I am." I turned around and started walking toward the jungle "It's just a monkey, throw him a banana and he will go away." I entered carefully.

As I was walking through the jungle, I started looking in all directions, checking if there is any danger around me. After a while I started to feel anxious because it was strangely calm.

'I have been walking for hours now and I couldn't find anything… this was a bad idea, I hope I don' t get lost or encounter some dangerous animal' I looked up the sky and saw the sun was about to set.

"Oh no!!… please don't tell I'll have to spend the night out here." I stopped for a bit to rest and think about my situation 'If this is really an island then I should have stayed on the beach so I could see if any ship passes by' I felt angry about all this 'What did I do to deserve this?'.

"Sigh… there is no use complaining about it, I have to find a place to spend the night" I got on my feet and started searching again.

"This is bad the sun is about to set…I can't sleep out here, it's dangerous" I said to myself while looking for a safe spot to spend the night.

"Even a cave would be good, I won't complain." I kept looking around for a while until my eyes fell upon what it seemed like a cave entrance.

"YES!! What a luck, it looks like an entrance to a cave, and it's even hidden behind the trees so the animals will unlikely find it." I preceded to enter.

The cave is very small, dark and it smells bad but it's better than sleeping out there. I sat down, leaned on the wall and closed my eyes for a bit.

I quickly fell asleep.

"…" I slowly opened my eyes.

"It's morning already?! I didn't think I would sleep that easily considering my current situation, but I guess I was tired." I got on my feet and left the cave.

The moment I stepped outside I took a deep breath and started stretching my body "This not that bad… it's peaceful and refreshing." After a few moments of stretching and enjoying the morning breeze I started hearing some noise in the bushes around me.

The moment I heard the noise I became more alert.

'SHIT!! Is it an animal? I hope it's not a tiger or a lion' I said in my head then I immediately started searching around for something i can use to protect myself, but I couldn't find anything useful except a tree branch that had a pointy edge and some rocks.

'FUCK IT!! I don't have any choice, I'll have to use this for now' The moment I leaned to pick up the branch something came out from the bushes, a lot of things.

Around four wolves were aggressively looking at me while growling and making noises,

I felt my heart was going to stop, as I was looking at them I had only one thought 'I should run' but I couldn't, my legs didn't move, and I was trembling.

'This is bad, what should I do? I can't run because they are surrounding me, but I also can't fight four fucking wolves with a stick.' The wolves kept moving around me in circle without attacking, like they were waiting for me to make the first move.

'I need to get my shit together. The only way out is by fighting' I kept thinking for a second then I made up my mind 'If I die so be it, I have no regrets' I took a deep breath and calmed myself down.

I looked at the wolf in front of me then without any hesitation I kicked up some dirt to blind him and I quickly ran to him. As soon as I reached him, I thrusted the stick into his right eye and without looking back I kept running forward.

'It was a deep stab I'm sure he is going to die from that… I need to find a way to lose the other ones.' I thought to myself while running with everything I have, but the other wolves will soon cached up to me. I looked behind me for a second and I saw one of them was about to attack me from behind.

The wolf jumped on me and pined me on the ground, I tried to get the wolve off me, but he was to heavy. After struggling for a few seconds, the wolf managed to overpower me and slashed me on the chest.

"AAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHH!!" I screamed in pain as I started bleeding out, I was desperate and feeling weak, I looked on my side and saw a rock. Without any hesitation and before the wolf could attack me again, I picked up the rock and smashed him on the head. The wolf fell on his side and lost consciousness.

I quickly got on my feet again, feeling weak and dizzy from all the blood loss I knew there was no way I would be able to fight the other two wolves left.

"Sigh…what a bad luck" I looked at the two wolves as they were approaching me slowly, after a few moments they stopped. They froze in their place and started looking at another direction while barking and growling, then afterwards I started hearing a loud noise coming from that direction.

The noise was getting louder every second until it stopped, there was a moment of silence before I saw the trees falling to the ground and a huge figure appear from that direction. I looked up and saw a 4-meter-tall tiger with a big scar across his left eye.

"w-w-what in the world is that…" I was shocked, I couldn't believe what I was seeing in front of me.

"This is not an animal; this is a monster. Where the hell am I?" The tiger let out a loud roar and ran toward the wolves, and without any effort he was able to smash one of them whit his huge leg and kicked the other one, sending him flying across the jungle.

I was dumbfounded for moment after seeing that, but I quickly snapped out of it and realized I should take this opportunity to escape 'He doesn't seem to notice me. This is my chance' I quickly turned back and ran on the opposite direction.

After 10 minutes of running nonstop, I couldn't move anymore and collapsed on the ground.

"Huff… huff… huff… I think I'm far enough" I laid on the ground for a few minutes then I dragged myself to the nearest tree to get cover.

As I was observing my surroundings, my eyes fell upon on what it looked like a paper with something written on it. I got curious so went to take a look at it and to my surprise, it was a newspaper.

"A newspaper? How did it get here?" It was dirty and in poor shape, but you could still read its content 'The only explanation is that someone was in this island before me, and the fact that the newspaper is still not decomposed yet means that the person was here not long ago or maybe he could still be here.'

I looked at the paper and started reading "The execution of pirate king… goLD ROGER?!!!!"
