Falling Onto Outlast
When the active part time medic support Harlow Okino woke up in a strange world, the first thing she thought was, "Man, sinkholes suck!", remembering how she fell into the strange pitch-black hole.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What the heck is that!?" I exclaimed while frantically fleeing from creatures that seemed straight from a horror movie.
People were fleeing and shouting like I was, and there seemed to be quite a few of them. The sound they made was unsettling and nothing like the screams you hear in movies. They were real, and everything happening was not a poorly-written movie plot.
The sight of a lady falling caused my breath to catch as my stomach dropped. The realization written all over her face was horror. She knew. I knew.
It was only for a split second that I took my focus away from the lady when I saw that a scaly monster was slinking up to her, its claws drawn and ready to slice. And it did. Its physique reminded me of Blue, the velociraptor from Jurassic World, albeit without the hawk's head and or the possibility of a human-friendly disposition.
This is not happening! I tried to reason that everything was just a nightmare from all the gory movies I'd watched, yet I knew in my guts this was real. Somehow, giant monsters were out to get us!
A piercing non-human shriek alarmed me. I knew it had to be from one of the things that were closing in on us. And sure enough, after a daring peek in mid run, I saw that I was being pursued by yet another enormous monster. Its humanoid body, coupled with its black fur and sharp teeth, got me gulping from fear.
I never imagined myself as a happy human meal for giant lizards and furry titans, and I want it to stay unimagined and unreal. With that in mind, I set out to prove that I could outrun even Usain Bolt if it means I'll stay alive.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Transported to a world that seemed well equipped with monsters that are aiming to make a snack of her, Harlow and her newfound party fight their way through all of it, all for the sake of finding a way back to Earth.
Love story? We also sorta kinda have it here, too!
"Have you ever watched Titanic?" Harlow asked the pretty Japanese boy beside her. He replied with a looked that said that it wasn't the time to be asking him that.
Harlow looked back and saw that their pursuers were getting closer.
"Well, if you did, you'd know this line."" I jump, you jump." She said as she suddenly grasped Akari's hand, shooting an unrecognizable feeling into the young man's chest, which was sourly interrupted by the next move she made.
Without any warning, she jumped the waterfall in front of them. Whilst falling, he saw her eyes gleaming with certainty that they'll make it. Right then, he knew if anyone was going to make it through this world, she definitely would be one of the contenders.
