Chapter 2: The Crimson Fate Meeting!

A/N: I changed the narration to the perspective of our protagonist, as you'll see.

Morning came rather swiftly. To my surprise, sleeping on bare grass wasn't so bad, and my scarf proved to be a very comfortable pillow. And also to my suprise, I wasn't laying on the grass anymore. "Weird". I was still a little sleepy so my mind was slow at processing things, but I was sure that I was currently at least three meters off the ground. And I could feel a little wet from the waist down. "Wait... WAIT WAIT WAIT-" Yesterday when I was looking at the quest board I saw something about Giant Toads. The very same Giant Toad was now trying to swallow me alive.

"WAIT! H-HEEEEEEELPPP! Why is this happening to me?! Can't I even take a nap in this world?!" As I was screaming and flailing around I noticed that I was slowly sinking deeper into the toad's stomach. "Well, I guess this is it, huh? Wait! I still have to buy a drink to that waitress at the guild!" And after that I found myself inside the Giant Toad. To my surprise it wasn't that bad. Sure, it smelled awful, but it was kinda warm. Just when I was accepting my defeat I looked at the sword, still on my hip and-

"Alright, this better work like in those movies..." I said aloud as I unsheathed my weapon, gripping it tightly and thrusted it into the wall of the Toad's stomach. A fountain of blood erupted from the cut, splattering right on my face. The frog made a very high pitched cry, but I paid it no mind. I continued slashing the inside of the frog and in the process I was covered from head-to-toe in blood. The frog collapsed on the ground bleeding a sea of blood and then-

"Agh, Oh my- hah, hgh, huff ... puff." I crawled up on the grass and clumsily got on my feet to look at the beast that tried to end my life.

"......" I stared at it in silence for a few minutes still proccesing what just happend, when a faint sound came out of my pocket. It was my adventurer card. I took a good look at it.

"Hey, I went up two levels!"

I made my way into town, still covered in blood and frog insides. Of course, there were a lot of questionable stares coming my way. And I don't blame them, honestly. I had some frog meat on me in hopes of maybe selling it. I hoped that at least I could get enough money from it to afford some food. I could always cook said frog meat, but I wasn't keen on getting food poisoning.

I swiftly went towards the baths, so people could stop giving me the death stare and also because I am not a fan of being covered in a mixture of blood and frog insides. After a quick bath, I wanted to try to sell the frog meat, so I started to bother random people on the streets... again. But this time it worked! Some guy actually bought the frog meat from me. Sure, it took some bargaining... and maybe some legal threats, BUT, now I at least had some money to buy something to eat. So I went to the guild, tired like never before. It was barely noon and already I felt like sleeping. When I started walking I noticed that some people were looking at me a little weird and whispering something to eachother. "Great... Is my reputation already ruined?"

I entered the guild and it happened again. The stares and whispering were back. Even though yesterday everyone treated me like a celebrity. Well, can't be bothered by it now. I sat silently again in the corner, but this time it was a different corner. I prayed that the waitress from yesterday wouldn't notice me. I didn't have enough money to buy her something and I wasn't going to waste my hard earned money for some female and her stupid drink. But I forgot that this world hates me, and so the waitress who came to take my order was none-other than-

"Oh, and who might that be? Mr.-I'll-buy-you-something-more-than-a-drink!"

"... I hate my big mouth and this stupid world."
