Day 1.

After looking up the group of contestants, I come in to conclusion that I'm certainly not the fittest one of the bunch. This is mostly due to me having not the heathiest possible lifestyle, but I'm also clearly the odest guy here. Most of them seem to be in their early to mid 20's and I'm slightly over 30. How ever there are clearly couple guys who most likely have spent most of their life sitting on their ass and have absolutely no physical abilities.

How ever, on simple survival aspect, I might be the top dog here. My dad was quite outdoors'y man, and our family spent most of our summers on our summer cottage, where was no electricity, no running water, or any other modern commodity. Or we did have, a car to run to the store, but my dad was good fisherman, he knew most plants, berries herbs and so on, and he aso hunted a bit, Mostly with rifles but he also had some snares set around the cabin. Of course I had watched him set up many things around the cabin, he had teached me to read a map, and survive if I get lost anywhere similar place where our cottage was, I still remembered most of the tricks, even thuogh I hadn't needed to use any of them for last 15 or so years. Also of course, I had been bullied in school when I was a kid, but that just had teached me how to fight, Would it help against monsters, I have no clue at leat yet.

It was obvious that most of the young guys or girls didn't want me to join their grouping, just because I was clearly one of the 4 underdogs among with 1 guy so fat I concidered it a miracle he can actually stand, one chubby girl, and a guy who I was thinking he would be blown off the deck of the ship, just because he was just skin an bones. On the other hand, that trio wanted to join with me, but it was obvious that they would hinder me too much, then again, in certain situations it's not that you would have to run fast, you just have to run faster than the other guy.

Then again I really didn't want to fight the "monsters" all that much, I had done some studying about them. Afterall, I didn't allways live in order territory. In fact I lived most of my life in neutral region, how ever the unciviliced nature of most "monsters" were the thing that made me move. There isn't a place, at least to my knowledge, that would be perfect for me. Reasons being that I'm worried about the human survival, Monsterization of womans is a thing that I absolutely hate, and the fact that the monsters only birth females, that eventually go hunting for human men. That worries me from the aspect of survival of the human race. I wouldn't mind living next to a monster, or even being one's husband, but the constantly dwindling human population worries me, and for that, only way to keep human race from completely dissappearing is the order, and their rather straight and brutal ways, just as unfortunate it may sound.

Eventually we arrived on the shore of the island, and it was truly massive island. There is a mountain range splitting the island in 6 different sections, well allmost at least, but it only comes close to the sea in couple places, Judging from what time it is, and where the sun currently is this is where the mountain range is closest to the sea in any place, and on map it's quite narrow. How ever while the mountain range ends on rather peaceful looking area on what I presume is north side it goes just about as far eye can see on south side. If we are roughtly where I think we are, on north side is the wasteland, which has a huge town, at least according to the map, but that town, is crawling with undead, and I dont want to be even near those things. So before I'm even on shore, I know allready that I'm going to at least attempt my luck going trough the mountains, and on there I will reach what looks to be forrest or jungle near the sea, and it turns in to savannah, or plains further inland. and the best part, There is vast nothingness around it, apart from few temple ruins somewhere in the forrest, At least that's what it looks on the map.

The ride to shore was not actually too terrifying, althuogh I heard more than one guy, and just about every girl screaming for fear during it. Than again this was probably the first time they were concious when mamono touched them. The ride from the ship to shore was harpy delivery. Grabbing each of the arms with their talons and caried us on to shore, all the while we saw all kinds of sea based mamonos waiting below. I wasn't that worried, Afterall when I was a kid there was few harpys living somewhat near to us, and I got a ride from them a couple times. Despite their rather small stature, they are amazingly strong ceatures.

After just about everyone had landed, most of the younger guys formed groups, and started heading every which way, one group setting camp just about where we landed, even thuogh there wasnt much food around this place. or at least anything I could deem as edible, Except probably fish. one group was heading towards the foothills and mountains, and one group towards north. then there was one couple that were heading roughtly where I was planning to go, and the 3 unwanted kids who were looking at me expectantly. -"Allright, If you dont slow me down too much, you can stick with me, I wont keep up too fast pace, as I have to reserve my energy, and food, I would say it's at least 2 days before we find any edible food afterall, And one more thing, if you make too much noise, epect me to vanish in couple minutes, and you won't see me after that. Then I started heading off from the beach, and towards south.

The day was rather uneventful, we didn't run in to any monsters, and while especially the chubby kid was having hard time following me he managed to keep up, allthuogh at the end of the day he was huffing and puffing like an old steam locomotive. We set up camp on to the foothills, not too far from the seashore, There wasnt much more than our rations, how ever I did find some roots to add on out rather limited food reserves, it didnt taste all that good, but at least we are about half way to the forrest or jungle, which ever it ends up being. We happened to come across a tiny cave, or more like depression in the sheer rockface, but it was going to be good enough. We probably shuold have set some kind of guard up, How ever, the kids clearly weren't up for that task, and I had originally intended to go alone, so at least this night we wouldn't have anyone watching for us.

Day 2.

I woke up as first, made a little tea from the remaining roots, I'm pretty confident that we find more of that stuff up ahead. I gave some of it to the guys and girl who were with me, after I had woken them up. Soon we were walking towards the forresty area, I think we are just about half way there, maybe just bit over half way.

Our first encounter with a mamono was sometime around early afternoon. The terrain had forced us to either climb higer towards the mountains, or return close to the sea shore. I had opted for the lower ground as climbing would get havy, and the kids with me would definitely struggle. also I would expact that close to the shore most mamono would be sea based, which we can easily evade, unlike what ever lives on those mountains. Well I wasn't entirely wrong, How ever the fat guy apparently had notably better ears than I have. When I started hearing the singing, I stopped the little group we had, well, I tried to. We would need to backtrack, and preferrably swiftly, before we all would fall in to trance like state, and would be lured towards the Siren, or sirens who apparently were somewhere on the beach. How ever the fat kid, I could allmost say he walked over me as I tried to stop him. He was allready completely gone, Nothing I could do to save him from himself anymore. so I did the best thing concidering my own survival, I snatched the suitcase, and he didnt even try to fight for it. At least we have bit more rations for the future. Therefore we left him, as I ushered the beanstalk, and the chubby girl back the way we came from. About an hour later on top of a small hill, we see how a chubby figure, and couple what seem to be harpys were truly enjoying eachothers company down at the beach.

As night was starting to set in both of the kids were quite exhausted, Though I can't say I would have been in much better shape. we set our camp below a large tree with large low hanging branches, It would give us some protection from the elements, but most importantly, it would give us concealment for the time we sleep. We again made some of our rations, not enough to state the hunger, but I hadn't even managed to find anything that I would know to be edible. On the positive note, the chubby girl, and beanstalk were becoming friends, Despite our situation I noted that they actually liked eachothers company. Thuogh appearance vice they were odd couple. While beanstalk was tall, he was practicly walking skeleton, The girl was head shorter than him, but she must be at least 2 if not 3 times his weight.

Day 3.

I had slept surprisngly well this night. at least concidering that my pillow was a rock, but I woke up as I felt something nudge me. That something was the skinny guy peering trough the leafs, and I heard something moving nearby.

I got up, and started looking what he had spotted, and as soon as I realized what it was, I covered his mouth with my hand and pulled him deeper under the tree, and forced him to look down to the ground. It's not that I wouldn't have wanted to look myself, though just couple seconds later I see feet, covered in yellow and black fur, and large claws sticking out from each toe. Those feet walk around the tree once, twice, and then they start walking away, with nervously flicking tail behind them.

As I release beanstalk, I tell him that he should never look a Jinko in a way that he wouldn't look his own mother. They are rather sensitive for it, in good and bad. He get's a bit flustered, and blushes as he's been gught in the act. Thuogh as I glance towards the girl, I see what I could allmost call jealousy in her face.

I decide it's better to wait some time before we move, giving the jinko some time to go her way so that she wouldn't hear us.

Bit later in the day we reach the forrest, and much like I had hoped for it's not exactly jungle, thuogh it's not actually too far from it. lush but not really that talls trees gorw all around us, but there is quite enough light below the canopy. Looking at the map there is a river flowing by not too far in the forrest, My plan is to follow that river until it reaches the grasslands. I see some deers so there would be game to hunt, Unfortunately while trapping and killing a deer wouldn't be too big of a problem, and coocking a stake wouldn't be a problem, it's the part in between I'm not so sure I could handle. especially when we have only the DRS daggers and not steel knifes.

How ever there is the river, I have no problms handling a fish, so we can allways fish from the river, probably some mushrooms, and fruits. Afterall, river and forrest, the place where my survival abilities are at my strongest. Therefore we start venturing deeper in to the forrest. And that's when I started hearing the forrest whispering to me. and those whispers were warning me about something, but I wasn't that sure what it was.

I had my dagger ready in one hand, and the dagger from the fat kid's case in other, as I was just listening. The kids were near paranoid clutching their daggers and looking around. It took a while before I realized what that sound was, but as I looked up, I saw a bunch of kakuen, I don't think they had noticed us yet, but it was rather obvious that when they do notice us, we were going to have a quite a problem in our hands.

I tell my companions the retreat, and do it as silently as possible, but as soon as I turn, I hear a branch snap, and in relative sinlence of the forrest, it sounded like gunshot. The chubby girl just looks at me and says sorry, as she is standing on a broken branch, allmost as thick as my wrist. I glance back towards where I saw the kakuens, and it was rather obvious that currently we had their undivided attention all to ourself. Withuot a second thuoght, I bolt, and yell "RUN!" to them. as I'm sprinting away.

I barly got 100 feet in my to my sprint, when the skeleton of a man ran past me. I wouldn't have belived it, but beanstalk was a true sprinter, and I wouldn't belive it if I wouldnt see it, but after I had managed barely quarter of a mile, he was allready gone. I heard cursing, and screaming behind me, and it was rather obvious that the chubby girl was going to be left behind here and now. Then again, that's kinda exactly the reason why I had allowed them to stick with me. After running bit further, I saw glint of light somewhere ahead, slightly on the left, I really hoped that it was the river, and I started heading towards it. I know enough that most great apes, and monkeys are bad swimmers, and only go in to knee deep water, I really hope it is the river, and the dislike of water applied to kakuens.

It was the river, larger than I had expected and there was barely any flow to it, but just when I was about to reach it I was tackled, I lost one dagger, but I managed to stab the kakuen that had tackled me, once, twice, tree times, though I managed to scrape myself in the process. It didnt exactly hurt, but my leg became quite numb, How ever, the kakuen had passed out, and I managed to stumble my way in to the river, and swim away from the shore. Once I had gotten in the middle of the river I relaxed, ans started foating on the gentle stream, watching as kakuens were jumping on the shore and on the brancehs on top of the river. At least I was right about that.

For the rest of the day, I was just floating down the stream, eventually as the evening grew near I swam to the far bank, and decided to check on my situation. I had lost both briefcases, and another of the daggers. Also my pants had quite a large tear on them, but they were still staying on. I had no food. but looking trough the forrest I found some familiar mushrooms, some herbs, and fruits. Also as I was looking around I found an abandoned building, and they still had some coocking utensils left. so in the end I got myself a decent meal. and the best bed I had had for couple days.

Day 4.

Well I wont be carrying the stove, but a coocking pot, flint, and wooden spoon, and some fishing line and a fishin hook is what I definitely take from this place. Then I will be heading back to inland, as I'm still thinking that my best chances are on the edge of the forrest beside a small lake. To get there, it should be 4 days, maybe 5 days. I start walking up the river, sometime during the afternoon I passed the spot where I had ran in to it. though I didnt see any kakuens there this time.

Couple hours later I heard some strange moaning, I was beating myself how stupid it would be investigating, how ever, something told me that it wouldn't be that dangerous. and as I went to investigate, I saw an orgy in front of a small temple ruins. On front of it was a massive succubus orgy going, ons on small stand what probably once was some form of sacrificial table was a different kind of succubus, probably lesser succubus, and the man from the couple that had left the same way I... well my group left. The man was tied in to the table, and he was barely concious, while the succubus that was riding on him, was pretty much in the same state. Need less to say, I had gotten much closer than I had intended to, but I managed to slip away withuot anyone noticing me.

Other than that pretty much nothing happened that day, as I set up my camp further up the river that evening.

Day 5.

I kept travelling up the river pretty much nothing happened during this day.

Day 6.

As I kept travelling up the riverbank, I suddenly saw a quite familiar figure on the oppsite bank. Beanstalk was there half asleep against a tree. I was about to call out to him, when he noticed me, and called out to me. Unfortunately for him, I had allready seen something he hadn't noticed. Only a second later 2 kakuens jumped at him, He struggels for a second, but then the looming shadow in the forrest came in to full visibility. It was kakuen, well kinda... Kakuens arent all that large, they have surprising strength for their size, but overall they are lithe and agile creatures, this individual wasn't. She was large, about head shorter than beanstalk, but still nearly half a head taller than other kakuens i had so far seen, and she was quite chubby. I watched as she lumbered to the shore, and literally threw the 2 other kakuens off from beanstalk, before she mounted beanstalk with boneshaking force. As she glanced at my way, she vawed at me, and as I saw her face. Yeah, She once was the chubby girl that I left behind.

Leaving no more thuoght to them, I continue up the river for the rest of the day.

Day 7.

I'm still in the forrest, but the forrest is turning in to swampland up ahead. I peer at the map, have I estimated my position wrong to begin with, but no, it's just that the map scale is rather small, and I just hadn't noticed the swamp, that isn't all that large. How ever all the walking has made me very tired, I decide to just rest and hold the this camp for a day. Food of course is an issue, so I start fishing to state my hunger. How ever nothing catches, and as I'm still tired off all the walking during last couple days I start to doze off. For a while I have been just laying down on the riverbank, fishing line secured around my wrist, I might have even slept for couple minutes in the mid day sun, though I'm not quite sure about it. Suddnely I'm jolted awake by a rather strong tug on the fishing line. That jolted me awake, I instictively think about pulling my catch up, but it seems that I have been fished, and not by any fish. As my eyes finally focus on what I'm doing, I see a that my fishing line is covered with kelp, and the kelp has lurid smile on her face. I really didnt think I would say that but yes, the kelp was smiling at me. She said just hi, And before I could really react she was practicly flying towards me. I rolled away from where I was, and got away, well mostly, the arm where the fishing line was secured got covered by the kelp, and I banged my shoulder to a rock pretty badly, it hurt like hell butat least it didn't brake anything. I took my dagger and lashed the kelp but while it made her to stop her attack, I was still snared by her. Cautiously I started peeling the kelp off my arm, It took nearly half an hour, at least it flet like it, but she was sticky, and I still didn't want to actually hurt her. Eventualy how ever, i managed to free my arm, thuogh I lost the hook, and most of the fishing line.

Oh well, it seems that it's fruits, mushrooms, berries, and roots for dinner tonight.

The rest of the day, I was gathering all of that, and in the evening I was koocking a pot full of food.

Day 8.

While for the first time arricing here I went to sleep with full stomach. the waking up was much less pleasing. I woke up to a scream. an inhumane, pierscing shrill scream. For couple minutes I was completely disoriented, and confused. Though when I came to I figured out that someone probably had uprooted a madagora somewhere relatively near. This was confirmed, as I saw a bunch of kakuens jump in to the river and they started swimming straight at me. Only explanation for such behavior could only be mandagora scream.

Need less to say, the managora scream has alerted jusst about every monster nearby, and each and every one is heading towards it, and they have hopes up that they would find a beloved husband there, unless of course the managora managed to get him to herself. This isn't good. I need to run from the kakuens, the kakuens are coming straight at me, yet I have no clue where the scream came from and I dont want to run towards it, Yet if I dont, there is a good chance I cross paths with something else heading towads it. Ah screw the thinking, I dont have time for it, Swamp is there so that's the way I'm going. at least I might lose the kakuens if they come back to their sences soon, and realize how much they dislike water.

As I have waded trough half a mile of waist deep muddy waters, I get a sence that something's coming, and that something turned out to be mucus toad, Heading towards the mandagora, and she swam practicly straight past me. She must have not noticed me, which makes me one darn lucky guy. Same can be said from the vamp mosquitos that flew straight over me.

Anyhow I manage get past the marshland, there's not much forrest left after this, This evening it should start to turn to plains. I make my camp, and start finding some food. before I set for the night.

Day 9.

As I woke up, I found a note next to me. "Congratulations! You are in the final 15 particiapants." the note said. that was a bit of a shocker, Quess I'm quite pro in this afterall. though the starting rain, and me having no shelter what so ever kinda watered down my mood. If this keeps up, this might be over in 1 or 2 days. Nobody really knows where I am at the moment, Except those who seem to be allways watching. It might be that I actually survive back to home, without being completely converted at least i have to add when I take a look at my pants. Shreadded as they are they still cover the most important bits, and I quess that's actually all they need to do... at least I hope so.

Other than that the day was quite uneventful, I managed to get to the edge of the forrest, but the way to the planes were covered by strange plants, and food supplies started to run quite low. I made a spear, and attempted to fish with that, but that didn't work out. I missed every jab. and scared away the fish. I try again tomorrow, it's still just roots, berries, fruits and herbs. I really start needing some form of meat soon.

Day 10.

Hungry, That's what I am, How ever yesterday I found a slightly strange plant, At first I thuoght it was just a roll of gabbage,I mean it looked like one, but that taste was oddly sweet. Though out of hunger I ate some of it among with some other stuff I had found. At least it wasn't unfit to eat, thuogh since I ate some of it this morning I have had this strange incy feeling, allmost like my skin would be burning, and the clothes rub me all the wrong and unpleasent ways. I guess it's safe to eat, as long as the amonut of it is minimal. Thuogh my goal should be near. if there was only 15 people left yesturday morning I would guess there is only 10 today. if even that.

After I finished my food, I started making my way trough the bushes to the plains. Though I had barely got among the plans when I noticed that they all are trying to wrap their vines around me. I wouldn't say I panicked, but that's pretty close to what I did. I really needed to get away from those plants. Tearing my way from the wines tore most of my clothes, but I managed to get out from them, now having only shoes on my feet and some rags left. Though the experience releaved me a bit ther inchin and burning sensation was almost gone after I lost my clothes to that darn plant. I'm also quite exhausted from the struggle, and that's when I notice a face peering me from among the path I had carved to get out of those wretched plants.

Well, she tried to approach, but she didnt's walk towards me, That's when I realized that it's a tentacle, and the plants apparently are tentacle plants. it's rather obvious that I'm not going trough those bushes. So heading back in to the forrest seems to be the best way to survive from now on.

Later in the evening I managed to find a small piece of wood, that I could use as very crude needle, and the strips of fabric I still had left from my shirt and pants I managed to fix the pants, well kinda... most of my underwear would cover more... So I head away from the river. It's a risky move as that is curently my only source of water, but I dont really want to go in to the swamp either, I cant move silently there, and trusting on getting lucky there would be just plain stupid.

Thankfully I run in to well, and an old cabin, and find some food which is still somewhat edible. the bread is hard, but not moldy at least, how ever there is a small batch of land, where there is some form of plants, much like grapes hanging from the vines. I decide screw it, I'm too hungry to care right now, and as they are cultivated, or at least was at some point, it's unlikely that they are that harmful. How ever as I eat them, I start feeling refreshed, how ever I also start feeling pleasently drunken. Right, Of course, that's exactly what I wanted. But now as my hunger and thirst are stated I feel like I could literally take on the world.

How ever as night starts to fall again. I head for the cabin and start sleeping.

Day 11.

As I woke up I found another note, "Congratulations! You are in final 5 of participants." how ever as I was reading it, the message changed. "Congratulations! You are in final 4 of participants." Yes!, Today I'm going home!

That's when I heard someone opening the door.

On the door, was standing a Stayros, and behind her a Ren Xiongmao, a panda girl. I'm screw's in so many ways now.

-"So you have eaten my grapes have you?" The satyr asked, as she stepped in. -"I might have, I was quite hungry so I had to." I answered. -"Would yuo like to taste what you should have had, I make wine from those, I have a winery just couple miles from here." -"Sure if you dont mind, I'm allways up for some wine tasting." I lied, I actually don't like wine at all, I rarely use alcohol, and when I do it's just one glass of whiskey, and one bottle of whiskey lasts me allmost a year. I stood up from the bed and then realized that I'm actually the small guy here, The satyr isn't much taller than me, Just enough that we can say that she's taller, and the Ren Xionmao, She's chubby, but about the same height.

I know that I'm on the edge of losing, especially seeing how that Ren Xiongmao is looking at me, but right now I can only play time, and pray that someone else loses.

We talk, and drink and talk a bit more. I learn that this is the satyrs cabin, slightly outside of a village that started growing just a year ago. She has had this place for couple years now, and this is where she and few of her friends gather every now and then.

And just about when I learned that, a Bicorn, a Holstaur, and a wererabbit walk in.

Need less to say, many eyes were on me, and the small cabin was getting quite cramped with all the large girls in the only room. How ever I managed to keep to myself at least for the most parts, being polite, and so on goes a long way.

After allmost couple hours of conversation later, and lot of empty promices from me of course. I heard a magical voince in my head, -"Congratulations, you are one of the top tree survivors. Would you move bit further from the others so I can teleport you back home."

Well As I sit on the bed, a holstaur hanging her hand over my shoulder, a wererabbit sitting right behind me hugging me from behind, a bicorn standing right in front of me, so close that her tail is practicly sweeping my face, and ren xiongmao who has decided that she doesnt want to wait too much longer fonding the front side of what's left of my pants. Nope, As much as I want to. I dont think I'm going anywhere anytime soon.

Especially as what is left of my pants is right about now in the hands of the Ren, The Bicorns tail has gone over my head, and the holstaur is gently pushing my face closer to her opening, and the wererabbit has taken turn to fondling my nether regions.
