47 Death P2Final (1/2)

When Emil reopened his eyes again, he had been transported somewhere else.

He was now in a field of long grass that barely passed the feet of his nine meter tall self, in the surroundings was a forest of trees as tall as his waist.

What was eerie though, was that everything was tinted monochrome grey, there was no other color at all.

Even the sun in the sky released a constant grey light.

”Strange.. where is this?” Emil muttered as he observed the surroundings vigilantly. [Could this place be Limbo?] He thought.

He looked at his hands and gasped. His body was faint and illusionary, he could even see through them. Although he was nude, his body was covered in a misty fog which made his body quite indiscernible. ”What happened to my body!?” Emil panicked.

Feeling a little anxious, Emil reached down and managed to grip one of the tall trees. A feeling of small relief washed over him. [At least I can touch, I thought I was gonna fad away.. ]

”Hah!”

With a great pull, the grey tree was uprooted. After pulling off the various branches, Emil had fashioned himself a serviceable bludgeon.

[Won't do much to a behemoth but at least I feel a little safer.] Emil faintly smiled.

As Emil was about to explore the forest, a rustling sound came from the nearby trees.

”Who!” Emil shouted as he turned towards the direction of the noise.

From out of the dense trees, a half a meter tall rabbit pounced out.

”Come back here you damn rabbit!” An excited shout came from behind the startled rabbit.

Before the rabbit could escape, a wooden spear flew out from the trees and struck it in the head, piercing one of it's eyeballs.

”Headshot yeah haha!” A 1.8 meter tall man came out from the bushes with a gleeful expression. He was nude but illusionary and covered in a faint mist just like Emil.

The small man had reached the rabbit when he finally spotted Emil.

”Ahh!” The small man screamed in fright.

Emil clearly surprised, reached down in an attempt to grab the small man but his massive palm passed through the man like mist.

The small man gasped but as he saw Emil's palm pass through him, a strange light flickered in his eyes.

”Oh so yer one of us huh?” The small man showed a queer smile.

Emil frowned before he remarked. ”One of you? Are you delusional little man?”

The small man chuckled and stared up at the towering figure. ”That's right.” As he observed Emil up and down he couldn't help but say. ”God damn you are one big bastard!”

”You little!” Emil was angered as he waved his huge bludgeon at the small man, yet just as before, the bludgeon passed through the small man like air.

”Tsk, tsk, that won't work big man. Yer one of us see?” The small man grabbed a rock on the ground and threw it at Emil after which the rock passed through him too.

”What? Tell me small man, what's going on!” Emil shouted in frustration with a booming voice

”Don't you know big man? Yer in Limbo and just like me, yer as dead as a doornail.” The small man chuckled with a big smile.

”What's that mean, what is Limbo?” Emil asked as he looked at the small man with a twitching brow.

”Look big man, I'll tell you the rules.” The small man walked over to the rabbit and plunged his hand into the rabbits head. His hand passed through the skin leaving no marks at all before pulling out a faint blue light.

”Huh!?” Emil gasped as he stared at the light in the small man's hand. It was the first thing with color that he had seen in this greyish world.

The small man held up his hand and said. ”See this big man? It's a soul point, one soul point to be exact.” The small man then pushed the glowing ball onto his chest after which the soul point disappeared into his body.

”You can gain soul points from the various lifeforms that live in the land of Limbo, of course you can't steal or harm other dead like ourselves. Everything has to be obtained by one's own hands.” The small man continued. ”But caution must be taken, some of the soul beasts here are extremely dangerous and can easily kill a thousand of us wiping us out from existence, but in return they give more soul points.”

”What are soul points used for?” Emil asked curiously.

”Soul points are the currency of Limbo and are used to buy things from the various primordial gods.” The small man replied.

”Like what?”
