Chapter 6 I'm Tired...
Eventually, after all the running and hiding I was no longer capable of maintaining such a lifestyle.
After some consideration on what to do next, I had chosen to sleep yet, just like everything else in this world, it was much easier said than done.
Sleeping was close to impossible without dying or being eaten while being asleep.
Alongside that problem came another.
"Where the hell am I supposed to sleep" I blurted out, the bags under my eyes as evidence of my lack of sleep alongside the amount of stress I had endured in the last day alone.
My normal human body was not used to having to be alert at all times no matter what, and due to it being this way, I had become incredibly exhausted.
I felt as if every bone in my body began to grind against one another while my muscles had become sore to the point where trying to move was more painful than being stung 20 times in a row by random flying insects.
Thankfully, right before I was about to pass out from exhaustion, I had found a seemingly empty cave at the top of the mountain.
I wasn't sure why, but the instant I had been enveloped in the aqua blue light that had been blocked by the trees of the forest, I felt extremely safe.
However, I did not think about the feeling as the only thing that ran through my exhausted mind was the pain that continuously coursed throughout my entire body due to it being pushed past its limit more than a dozen times within the same day.
Finally entering the cave, could not help but look around even in my exhausted state.
I kept having this constant premonition that I would be attacked at any moment, to the point I would even have visions of random beasts coming to attack me from all sides, as if I was an animal dipped in blood and lifted high for all of them to smell from miles away.
However, even if I was trying to be cautious, even if a beast was hiding within the shadows of the cave waiting for me to lie down and become helpless, there wouldn't be anything I could do to retaliate, even if I were to find it.
Not realizing this, however, I kept looking around frantically like a crazed man, looking into all the different shadows in the room as my bottom finally touch the ground, making my exhaustion all that more prominent.
Failing to find anything, I slowly lowered my head onto the rough, hard ground, allowing my face to grind against the bumps of the surface of the cave's floor.
Looking up with tired eyes, I recalled the system message I had gotten a hours ago, and as if the system was waiting for this thought to pass through my mind, a screen appeared before me and caused me to widen my eyes slightly.

[Progress: 20/100]
'Seems like this is just like the games I used to play' I sighed and immediately closed my eyes.
Even though I would have usually been annoyed or agitated by the condition of the surface that I would be sleeping on, the only thing I could feel was the relief of finally laying down alongside the exhaustion within me slowly percolating out of me to seep into the ground under me, as if the ground itself was soaking up all the hours of hard work, all the hours of running, all the hours of hiding...
Everything that I had done for the whole day slowly seeped out of my body as my conscience finally fell into a deep slumber.
***
In a space where the only color that could be seen was white, a white that seemed to span out infinitely sat a single person on a throne made out of what looked like it had been created out of all the elements on the planet.
The strange glints of blue light reflecting off the diamonds from an unknown source of light intertwined with vines, metallic textured ores, and all sorts of other materials one would be capable of finding on earth.
It was as if it was sitting on miniature earth that had been morphed into the shape of a throne, yet even though one would feel a sense of harmony while looking at it alongside the throne, one could also feel powerful chaotic energy fluctuating around it.
Even though this was the case, it seemed like chaos and harmony were living alongside each other, as the molten lava that would have set the world afire flowed alongside the green vines and the brown roots of trees, even intertwining with one another as if they were made to live alongside each other.
The person who was sitting on the throne was a woman with ivy green skin and beautiful silky emerald hair that reached the floor.
The emerald hair seemed to reflect the light of the unknown source of it, radiating the place around her with a green aura that made her look even more divine than she already did.
Her face was motionless alongside the rest of her body, while her eyes seemed to be closed as if she was in a peaceful sleep that nothing in this world could shake her out of.
However, suddenly her eyes had fluttered open, allowing her emerald eyes to shine onto the space around her with an even brighter light while simultaneously releasing an emerald green aura that seemed to span out the same distance as the white void.
Out of nowhere, her irises began to be enveloped in extremely small runic patterns that slowly moved towards the center of her iris, moving towards the pupil and also forcing it to switch from being black into being pure white.
However, even though this change was small, her eyes now seemed to hold the secrets of the world within them, as if they could see everything yet at the same time, blind to everything they saw.
Immediately after, golden runes began to imprint themselves onto her temple, subsequently causing her eyes to brighten further.
After a few moments passed, her expression seemed to have worsened as creases began to appear and deepen proportionate to her brows furrowing in a grimacing expression.
'Why is he here?!' she thought, gripping the armrest of the throne was sitting on while losing control of the powerful fluctuations of power that emanated out of her.
'Why is a human on my planet?!'
