scrambling for life.

"fuck! shit shit shit! " I said running around as three wolves ganged up on me.

the wolves are dark in color, the eyes are red signifying they're here to attack me. in this world enemies spawned naturally around you, although they got stronger this is to make you grow as a summoner hence the red eyes, however the danger doesn't stop at that, of course it got significantly worse.

anything that doesn't have red eyes and still dare to attack you (unless you forced it to) is from a clan, and that means the whole gang is going to destroy you like a sandcastle after a particularly nasty waves.

and what's worse they're objective is not to attack me... okay it's like the second objective but the most important one is... my summoning pool, if they destroy it I'm a goner for good.

I tried to lead them away and it seems to work like a charm, the only thing bad is my stamina and it's depleting very quickly.

I need to think a way! something! think!... okay it's not working, usually in an anime this would be an inspiration moment where the mc does something clever... it's not working!

then an idea shot through my head, something so idiotic and dumb surely would result to my death yes? fuck it! does it look like I have any choice?!

I grabbed a stick near me as I waved it around at the wolves, suddenly a vision of me getting bitten through my neck came as I avoided the lunge of the wolf, barely scraping by death.

I stared at the stick in my hand dumbly... as another vision came to me of my legs getting bitten, I was too slow to react as a wolf bit through my leg as I let out a scream of pain.

"AHHHGGGGSGHH!!! " I almost fainted from the pain as another vision came to me as the three wolves lunged at me, one in my hand wielding the stick, one on my other unmauled leg, and one directly to my throat.

I rolled backward with my now mauled leg causing extreme amount of pain coarses through me, making me scream in pain as the book inside of my pajama let loose, coincidentally going inside of the pool.

however not thinking about that I quickly try to put myself on a better footing as the adrenaline numbed my pain and my brain is working in overdrive during all of that.

then I saw three of the wolves lunged at me without any warning whatsoever, I crashed through the floor in pain as one of the wolves pinned me to the ground and put their maw between my neck.

in retaliation I put the stick I held earlier into it's mouth making the shard of the wood to stuck inside of it's throat making it bleed from the inside, the blood got into it's lung in that short period of time and it instinctively stepped off of me to spit it all out.

WHOOSH an arrow whizzed through the air as my adrenaline recedes quickly making my leg pain worsened, leaving my fate on somebody who shot the wolves as I entered a deep sleep shortly after.

then a dream came by me, I wake up in a room filled with the smell of fluid that immediately makes me lose appetite, only to realize my body is moving at it's own, my eyes is fixed at a gun below my desk.

gun? suddenly knowledge came by me, how to clean it, how to wield it, how deadly is it, how does it work, and common sense regarding it came to me.

knock on the door, four short knock...

I scrambled to my feet as I hold the gun and opened the door, slowly opening it the view of carnage came to me.

then darkness.

I slowly wake up from the dream... what was it again? probably not important if I can't even remember it.

as I slowly shift on the mattress my leg which is mauled started to hurt as my eyes water, my leg!!

I stared my leg in horror as a woman came inside of the tent I was in.

the woman in question is wearing a leather armor that looked light and a mask that covered her face.

"ah, yes. you woke up. " the woman said in a straight face, her blonde hair is tied in a ponytail as she pulled out a needle and directly stabbed me in my left thigh.

surprisingly it didn't hurt and my left leg which is the mauled one began to slowly numb as the pain recedes.

my left leg is obviously has been mauled but it has been tended with and with how it looked there's a huge chance I wasn't able to walk again in my life.

"if you're thinking about your leg it will regenerate as long as your summoning pool is powered. " that's a relief... but who is she?

"but it'll take more or less three month. " she said immediately making my face grimaced, I would be long dead since then, I would have to depend on people to protect as well as heal me... there's no way that would work! I don't have any alliance or summon, in fact I think she's the school helper or something.

"just tell the summoner kath. "

then another person came into the tent, he wore a heavier and bulkier armor, a huge sword is on his back about at least fifteen inches... that's fifteen inches right?

the man is a man... with a huge sword on his back, his face is full of scar as if he treasured them in some way, he has a short red hair with a set of cat ear on a top of his head, his muscle are as ripped as a heavy bodybuilder I could tell he's proud of it as the armor is cut to show that part of him.

"I was just about to tell him that. " the woman named kath said in a very deadpan manner as the cat man ruffled his hair in an annoyed expression.

"then tell him that! " the man shouted whispering to her as he looked at me seemingly embarrassed that a kid summoned him.

"ah... yes. summoner you have summoned us five, the person speaking is Kathy, he's red, the engineer is Joe, the hunter is kassier, and the mining is Dave. " huh?? summoned? how?

"also to bring up the question how should I call you summoner. " Kathy said with a deadpan face... how should they call me? boss? leader? friend?

"just... call me whatever you want... " I said as the man named red sighed in relief.

"that's a good fight there kid... I guess I should go away now? " I think he want to comfort me with that first statement... he's not a bad person so that's good.

"ah! red could you call everybody here? I wanted to know what kind of person I summoned and I also need to take stock of everything. " I said as he left the tent, I really needed to be smart to survive this hellhole.

=================

"damn... that's pretty close. "

"hah! if it were me I would have easily get through it! "

"I mean... you gotta give credit where it's due, he just got born seven hour ago! "

"even if it's five minutes, I would have done way better. "

"you know what they say in my old world 'overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer. ' "

"you and your weird quotes. "

"it's not quote, it's common sense. "

===================

"AAGGGHHHHHHHHHHH MOOOMMMMMM!!!!!!-" the kid screamed as his doom draws near, he had been overconfident about staying on the clearing and it resulted in a faction swarming his base.

then he suddenly sat on a crowded theater with a screen showing numerous people in front of him, his mother and father is also beside him as he cried tears of joy after seeing a semblance of protection beside him.

he jumped to his mother's side as soon as he can as he cried river "it's okay, mama's here. " she said in a comforting tone.

his dad also joined as he put his hand on the back of the kid head while saying word of encouragement, both of them make short work as the kid finally calmed down.

the kid looked in front of the theater as a giant screen covered his vision "what's that?... " he said looking at the huge screen before him.

the screen showed many kid fighting the waves of enemies just like him... before he chickened out... did he fail the test?!!!

"did I... fail? " he said in a heart broken voice as his father laughed at him.

"of course no! ever since you received that letter you are already a part of the school! " his father said with great joy as he reminiscent of his old day.

"then! what's all that for?!! " he said with an enraged expression, he definitely didn't want to feel that again.

"well... you should ask your mother for it, she's the one who designed it. " he said the last sentence with whispery voice.

the kid is shocked, how much of a big shot his mother to even able to get it to become a school test.

"silly you, technically it was made as a group effort. " his mother said, shocking the kid even more, what did his mother do when she's young!??
