December 16, 1997
I wake up upon the early morning.
My magical body is still holding itself together.
I step outside.
Dust falls the sky, as it always did.
I walk down to the forest.
I see a vampire beast maul off a demon.
I walk down to the swamp to practice my spells, but something seems off.
There’s a disturbance in this forest.
A being I haven’t felt before.
I thought nothing of it before.
I continue my work throughout the day.
After a long day of work, I head back to my cabin.
When I get back.
I feel it again.
The force.
The being.
Now I start speculating, but I leave it a mystery until tomorrow.

December 17, 1997
I start to head down to the forest, but I still feel it.
I summon my sword from my vault and prepare to find this new being.
My sword holds ultimate power meaning that I’m able to use any amount of magic power without the consequence of death.
I search throughout the forest.
I see a wounded animal.
The vampire.
I put it out of its misery.
The new being must have struck it down.
I stab my sword into the ground.
I feel the vibrations of the monsters all about the forest.
I feel a new one.
I teleport to its whereabouts.
It’s a human.
I haven’t seen one in a long time.
He seems to be about 18 years old.
He wears a modified hockey mask.
It seems to hold a voice changer inside.
He wears a jean jacket white a dirty black shirt.
We start circling each other.
I ask “What are you doing here in my Dark, Dark, Dark Forest?”
He responds with “I’ve come to prepare for my future, my destiny; To make my enemy suffer…”
I show him that I am armed.
He smirks, “That’s quite the sword you have there, after I kill you I think I’ll take it… And this forest, I think I’ll rename it after myself, The Dark Evil Lord.”
“That’s only if you kill me.” I say with a crooked smile.
Then the battle begins.
He fires off spells of destruction at me, whilst I create multiple fake duplicates of me.
When he’s distracted fighting them I dive into his history to find some kind of weakness.
I couldn’t find anything.
I start looking into his future.
I see flashes of him fighting a younger version of himself.
Lightning crackles across the sky.
A clone of his younger self opens a portal where an army comes through to kill him.
Suddenly my times up and he blast fire at me.
Luckily he misses.
I call upon the monsters of my forest to attack.
The boy prepares to fight off the monsters.
I start to look into this clone’s future.
Perhaps he is the key to all of this.
I see him wielding my sword to plunge into a great enemy.
After that, he seems to teleport away to another location.
I look back early that day where he draws my sword out.
There’s an engraving on the stone, but I’m not able to picture it because the boy I’m fighting teleports the monsters away and jumps out at me.
I’ve done enough stalling I’m ready to fight him.
I swing my sword as hard as I can at him.
I blast spells by using the sword, but the kids much more agile than me and dodges them.
He then summons an icicle and plunges into my heart.
I realize that I have moments left to live.
I see the stone from the clone’s present and stab my sword into it.
Then, I cast a writing curse on the stone that reads, “The 19 Sword, to be drawn by the true 19 of bravery.”
I start to feel my skin fizzle.
The boy is absorbing me.
He almost finishes me but stops to let me watch him wield the sword.
He tries to pull it out but fails. I laugh, “I’ve cursed the sword so it can only be wielded by the true nineteen of bravery.”
He rages with anger, “What! No! This could've save me so much time.”
He scrapes off the words “of bravery”.
I laugh even more, “The words on the stone mean nothing. You will never be able to wield the sword.”
He rages even more and absorbs me slowly and painfully.

December 18, 1997
I awaken, but something is strange.
I stand in my forest, but the skies have gone red.
I feel different.
I feel dead but alive.
I look around the boy’s gone.
The monsters are gone.
My body still fizzles.

My life, or death, has just become a bigger mystery than before...
December 28, 1997
The days are starting to blend together.
Nothing seems real anymore.
My body still fizzles.
I’ve been searching throughout this new realm.
I have been saving my magic.
I’ve only been using it to summon in food and supplies.
Sometimes I wonder if there’s a point anymore.
I feel so empty and lonely. Like my body is leaving me.

December 30, 1997
Something moved in the forest.
I hear it in the leaves.
I touch the grounds with my hands.
I start to feel the forest all around me.
Finally I sense it.
It feels so familiar, but so new at the same time.
I hunt it down, still conserving my magic.
It keeps moving faster and faster.
I run through thorns and brunches.
I suck in the pain.
We finally run out of the heavily covered forest and into the wide open.
I only got a small look at it before it ran into the pipe’s tunnel.
It seemed to have multiple limbs with claws on every foot.
It wore brown, ripped clothing.
I couldn’t see the face in the front.
I sit down to catch my breath.
I look down at my injuries.
I’ve been stabbed in my stomach by a branch.
I grab the branch and rip it out.
The blood gushes out.
I use magic to heal myself.
I start to feel weird.
My world starts to turn black.
I wake up in a sweat.
Water and blood dripping from my face.
I stand up.
My leg goes numb.
I’ve healed myself but I feel worse for where.
I feel and hear breathing behind me.
I turn quickly.
The monster is back.
It’s face is as white as the moon.
A long tongue lays out of its mouth.
It has long black hair.
It’s eye’s are scraped out.
It’s blind.
It stands up like a normal person, even though it's far from it.
It kicks me and I fly high and then fall onto hard rocks.
My back splits and I spit out a load of blood.
I screech.
It starts to charge at me.
My bones shift and I get back up.
I set my hands a blaze and blast fire at it.
It doesn't stop running towards me and I jump out of the way.
I levitate and l blast more fire upon it.
It stands as tall as I fly and swats at me with it’s many limbs.
I’m able to avoid him and fly behind his back. I can use it’s slack of vision to my advantage. I lift rocks and fling them at him from all different angles so it can’t pinpoint them back to me. It starts to swing it’s limbs around to hit me. Inevitable he hits me and I fail to the ground. It grabs me by the legs and throws me across the forest and into a tree. I almost black out once again, but instead I freeze time.
I try to keep the spell intact, but I know I can’t hold it forever. I limp my way towards the river and rest myself on a log. I can’t hold the spell anymore and I resume time. The monster runs into the tree I crashed into. It stood there confused as to why I was not there. Then something unexpected happens. It stands up and uses echolocation to lactate where I am. It turns towards me and starts to run. I’m too tired to keep running and just lay there. It picks me up and slams me back into the log. I scream in agony. The river almost drowns me until the monster picks me up and slams me in the water. I start to lose concinist. It repeats it’s process and I black out.

December 31, 1997
I awaken.. It seems to be midnight. I look around, but I’m somewhere else. I’m at the end of the river stream. I re-adjust my bones and stand back up. I slowly walk back to the last place I remember being. I see the monster lay down, but somethings different. I look closer. The monster seems to be wounded. It’s losing lots of blood and fast. It appears another monster has interrupted our fight. I look into the eyes of the monster I lost the fight to. I recognise it now. It’s the Jorōgumo.

It awakens in a fright. I ease it back down. I decide I must put it down. It’s in too much pain. I raise my hands, shaking, and I blast a bolt of energy at the Jorōgumo. It falls asleep, dead. It seems whatever fought the Jorōgumo is bigger and badder than this monster. If I’m going to survive in this world. I’m gonna have to kill the new monster, but the question is, what monster?
January 7, 1998
More and more monsters have been appearing out of nowhere. I’ve tried to connect with them to maybe to see if maybe they know where we’ve been sent too. I haven’t succeeded yet. I’ve tried opening portals to other worlds and dimensions, but I’ve failed every time. It's like portals are blocked by something. I’ve tried to locate what’s stopping it. I’ve got nothing.

January 8, 1998
It’s happened again. A new being has entered this realm. I know the feeling of another entering. I’ve felt it ever since the Jorōgumo. I touch the ground to locate it. This one’s different. It’s vibrations are different from the other monsters. I try to reach out farther with vibrations to find the monster. The magic inside me starts to drain faster, but then I stop. I’ve found it. It’s vibration seems to be coming not from land, but from water.
I start to walk towards the black lake. Whenever I use my magic I feel a part of me disappear. I don’t know how to explain it. I think it has to do with the thing blocking the portals. I walk down to the shore. It’s here. Somewhere. I dive into the lake. I swim around for about fifteen minutes trying to find the monster.
I float through the water. The water seems deeper than it appears to be. I see dark blue eyes glowing in the dark water. It wears an octopus head with big wings. It has large arms and hands with claws at the end. It seems bigger than it actually is. In reality it's double the size of me. After all those years in my original realm I’ve never noticed this monster.
I guess I’ve never studied the waters. I touch one of its tentacles. I feel it’s history. The monsters are over one hundred years old. Across the galaxy’s ocean and has been known as one of the great ones. It arrived at the black lake by some sort of teleportation of energy. It was then absorbed by the boy that absorbed me.
Suddenly, like it was just stabbed in the back by a sharp knife, it jerked around. It turned to fight some other monster, but nothing was there. It starts to use its claws to fight back at an invisible beast. In the action to hit me and I go flying out of the lake to fall down at the shore. The monster flies out of the water to attack the other beast. It claws at the beast and it shows itself for a split second until it turns invisible again.
It seemed to be three times the size of the great one. With long legs that end with a sharp blade. I could see what other features it held, but I know that it’s the scariest of all the monsters. Finally, the invisible monster seems to stab the great one with it’s leg. The great one leaves a faint scream as it goes into the water.
I dive back into the water to where the great one was left. It lies at the bottom of the lake. Lifeless. Defeated. Dead. I look around the battle zone. There are no footprints of the invisible monster. I wonder if that monster had been in my original realm the entire time, undetected. Maybe this was the beast that left the Jorōgumo to die? Whatever it’s history is, one thing is for sure, I must find it.

January 9, 1998
I still search for any clues it might have left behind underwater. I’ve started examining the great one’s corpse. I find the magic energy that I used to teleport. I harness the energy and my magic regenerates by the second. It’s working. My magic’s returned. I feel complete again.
January 10, 1998
I’ve made a plan to find the invisible monster that looms over the forest. It only appears when a new large threat comes into the forest. I must wait a couple of days for the new monsters to appear. There’s also the problem that when the new monsters come in the invisible beast will come attack them. So incase of that I’ve put an invisible shield over the forest.

January 31, 1998
The time has come. I’ve befriended the many large monsters for the capture of the beast. I have the biggest and strongest monsters in the center of the forest to lore the invisible monster in. I have the other monsters located all around the forest edges. I lift the shield from the forest. The hunt is on. Project Overwhelm, is a go. My monsters scream out beyond the forest.
I hear the loud echo of it’s footsteps in the distance. His footsteps trample the trees. My monsters give a louder screech and the footsteps echo louder and louder, closer and closer. Suddenly, one of my monsters is stabbed through the chest. I start a fire and send it across the sky to signal the others that it’s officially begun. When the fire reaches the sky it seems to slightly burn the face of the invisible monster.
All the monsters rush into the invisible monster. The invisible monster starts to stab all the other monsters with it’s other feet. Blood flies across the sky. My monsters seem to be confused as to where the invisible monster is. I came up with an idea to see the monster. I start another fire and throw it at the monster. It burns through it’s skin and appears more visibly. It gives a large scream. It’s larger than I remember.
My monsters, now knowing where to attack, now attack the critical parts of the invisible monster. While the monsters attack I heal and revive the defeated monsters. The monster then jumps into the air. Then it lands and crashes into the ground. When it lands, wind throws me and the monsters across the forest. I land into the Black Lake where I black out.
My eyes open wide, I see the stars under the water. Lightning strikes the sky. I swim out of the lake and get out. Water drips from my body. I look around and see the lifeless bodies of the forest. I feel the ground for vibrations for anything still alive. There are a few inhabitants left alive like me, but then I feel the vibration of the invisible monsters. It stands right in front of me looking down.
Lightning strikes the sky again. The invisible monster reveals and uncloaks it’s invisibility. I see it’s face. It’s bloody arms. It has the shape of a daddy-long leg spider. It has no eyes, but can somehow see. I reach my hand to touch it’s long leg to learn its history. It’s blocked off most of its history. It only allows me to know it’s name. The Mind Flayer.
It lifts its leg preparing to stab me. I stabs it’s foot into the ground and I teleport out. The main fight might have ended, but our fight just began. I teleport into the sky where I dive next to it’s head. I levitate and blast lasers into it’s burnt face. It then opens its mouth and blasts fury. I get burnt to a crisp and fall down thousands of feet. I didn’t know it had the ability of dragon's breath. What else does it hide. Is this just the tip of the iceberg of its power? These are the questions I hold as I fall down.
I come crashing into the trees. I land on a sharp branch that impales me. All my bones shatter. Blood gushes out onto the plant life. The Mind Flayer looks down at me and presumes I’m dead. It turns and starts to leave the forest. I teleport into the ocean to be undetected. Water flows into my body. The branch is still in me. My bones are still broken. I rip the branches out of me and renew my bones.
I let the invisible monster go. It is too powerful for me. I lay in the bottom of the water. I lay dormant, defeated. I have failed. What is my purpose here? I thought it was to protect the forest, but maybe that’s the Mind Flayer's job. Perhaps my job is to release the monsters from this realm. To study and document more here. After thinking about what my purpose is I know what my job is.
