MONSTER HUNTER - 13 DEMON KIDS
WHERE ARE WE?*

Rangga opened his eyes and fell silent for a while like gathering all of his consciousness amidst the current baffling condition.

His body was in a prone position and was on the grass. The teenager immediately raised his head up and turned to the right and left looking confused.

"Where is this?" tanyanya confused looking around and found herself alone no other children.

Rangga stood up slowly while cleaning his dirty Scout clothes. He was silent for a moment to remember the last incident until he ended up in an unknown place like being in the forest, but it looks unusual.

"Mm ... if not wrong ...," he said hanging with a frown.

Rangga remembered that when he and his friends had finished putting up the tent, the group took a break. Rangga threw himself in the tent before lunch at the camp. He was sure, if he was asleep, but his place was now beyond his reasoning.

"It's not a dream. This place is real. But ... Why is the sky rich in rainbows?" his confused tan looked up challenging the sky.

Before long, Rangga's body sculpted instantly, as he heard a moaning sound in the distance like a wild beast, echoing in the unknown forest. Rangga immediately turned his head, even though his body was stiff.

He looked around and ran to a bush with lush trees that had tall stems, though the leaves were orange. Rangga lay on his stomach and peeked out from behind the bush to see the figure who walked closer to where he woke up earlier.

"A sign of the apocalypse? The air here feels different. Rich there was no wind" he said trying to breathe like a normal person, but he felt a gust from his nostrils almost imperceptible. "The ladder died 'huh? This is the afterlife? Oh my God, I died young!" screech with bulging eyes.

Rangga was pale and limp for a moment. Then he looked up at the sky with question marks.

Until finally, a voice like a large creature was heard again, but away from where it was. The young man was scared, but curious. He ventured to find the origin of the sound by staying settled.

Rangga looks alert to the surroundings. His eyes scanned, his steps full of caution, until he saw a blue foggy place that was increasingly difficult to reveal when he saw the figure of an animal that hesitated to speak.

"Dragon?" he said with a frown.

The dragon looked faint to him. Shiny and brightly lit like a blazing fire, but purplish in color.

Rangga assumed that he was still dreaming, but his dream this time felt real. It can feel the tree next to it and feel its rough texture. His feet also rubbed against the ground, although the surroundings looked like a mirage to him.

"It seems Rangga should be the same as father and mother when returning to camping later," his mummy chose to resign and turned away from the animals seen just now in the distance.

Rangga walked confused while massaging his head that was not dizzy, but somehow he wanted to do it.

Rangga looked at the path and chose to follow the path of the land that had somehow taken him to where.

The young man no longer cared about his surroundings. He just wants to walk and hope to wake up from his strange dream.

On the other side.

"Rex," call Jubaedah when they're in some unknown place.

The two teenagers stared at each other tightly, not talking to each other, but their eyes scan around the seemingly unfamiliar and out of logic as many fungi grow in large sizes of different types and patterns.

"Don't ask me about this place. This is beyond the subject, even though Rex was always the 1st champion in school," replied the teenage boy next to him who was confused in describing the strange events that befell them today.

"Oh, Rexy, look! What animal is that? Funny yes," exclaimed Jubaidah as his eyes found a strange creature that they had never seen before on the riverbank.

Rex's forehead is getting wrinkled. Jubaedah forced him to come to the animal sitting on a rock holding a green lizard.

"Be careful" Rex's pinta pulled Jubaedah's hand because the girl looked unafraid of the alien.

"He seems harmless. Look, he doesn't have fangs and sharp nails. He must be a herbivore. It's a new find, Rexy. Let's take a photo!" her door was carefree with her eyes fully rounded, but Rex looked reluctant. All of a sudden, "AAAA!" jubaedah shouted hysterically as the adorable animal ate the lizard alive. His teeth and claws just came out as he ate them.

"Roon!" rex shouted loudly as the animal's eyes were now aiming at them.

Practically, Jubaedah immediately ran in panic with Rex beside him carrying a suitcase. The portal that carried them disappeared the moment it arrived in the middle of nowhere.

Rex looked back and found the animal still sitting on the rock, but in such a position as ready to pounce on them.

"Ag, aag, aag!" the thick-skinned animal litchi orange gray like voicing a code that is not understood by the two human children.

Sure enough, "Ag! Ags! Ags!"

"YYYYYY!" yelled Jubaidah for the umpteenth time when suddenly similar creatures emerged from behind the rocks that were around the place.

However, the strangeness returned, as the two entered the mushroom's territory, the pointy-eared creatures stopped chasing. They did not dare to approach, and Rex felt a new danger would appear in front of him later.

"Juby! Why did they stop and not chase?" tanya Rex pulled Jubaedah's hand and asked him to stop speeding.

"Huh? Where do I know, just run away!" the door panicked and pulled Rex's hand back.

Rex who was confused by the situation, finally ran to follow Jubaedah who first entered the forest behind the large group of mushrooms.

Apparently, the strange phenomenon was felt by all children around the world. All countries, even remote places, are affected.

The children were in a place they did not know and separated from each other except Jubaedah and Rex who had from the beginning submitted themselves into the portal hand in hand.

The other kids are confused. Some of them cried even called out the names of the old man along the stepping foot.

In another dimension. It looks like a room with large pools and floors filled with puddles.

They speak a language that no one in the world has ever learned because they sound like burps.

Translation.

"They've entered level 1" said a jerky creature at the bottom of his chin.

A creature with a blue color strides slowly with two legs on tiptoes, has a long tail like a lizard, but stands upright.

Creatures that we might call 'alien', approach similar patterned creatures facing towards it, turn your back on a wall like spilled water and look like a computer monitor if a human judges it.

The creature, which has two hands and three fingers, saw a puddle of water on the wall that showed children around the world were facing a real oddity in front of them.

"Oag!" call for a creature of some kind to enter the room without any visible wires, or machines in it. The creature has another pattern that is red and the sound pressure is different, sounding smoother—type female.

"There were 30 fallen sons of man. And statistics show that it will continue to decrease every hour" said the creature, which is larger than the blue patterned creature.

"It only takes 10 human children to qualify in the 10 levels we offer. More than that, those human children are indeed worthy of—"

"Oag!" call another red-patterned creature that comes cutting the speech of a creature named Oag.

"There are human children who carry weapons" he said, which made Oag immediately ask to be shown the existence of the human child.

"Who is he?" ask Oag to the creature in charge of the identification of the background of the human children.

"His name is Daniel Mandarin. He's the son of Daniel Maximilan and Mayleen" the officer replied in a blue tint.

"He used a yellow laser sword. Have humans implemented those weapons in this century?" tanya Oag stared at the operators around her sharply.

"It is still in the development stage and closely monitored by the government in the country concerned, Oag. It seems like an illegal weapon. There must be humans who make it because there is no license from the government," the operator replied from the results of the analysis of weapons.

"Call General! Just be careful if he dares to deceive us," he said fiercely.

Two red-patterned creatures immediately left the room, and before long, an adult human appeared in an officer-like uniform.

"That's what?" tanya Oag pointed at the sword that the Mandarin used with a golden glare. Practically, the General's eyes widened.

"Agh! I did not expect that the mafia gangs were still alive and gave the weapons to their generation" he replied with closed eyes and lowered his face.

"You had a conflict with your fellow human beings in the past and it's not over until now? You said your world was peaceful and there was no war. Therefore, we are implementing this system now," Oag pointedly looked at the General sharply.

"Yes. That's exactly what we know. The mobsters are really cunning" he replied, opening his eyes.

"Then ... Who are they?" oag asked as he approached and his tentacles extended into the General's face, palpating both of his cheeks. The human general looked nervous, despite trying to remain calm.

"13 Demon Heads. The sword was called Silent Gold. But I assure you, they are not a threat. Moreover, those children, are still children," he stressed.

"We'll see, General. Is your speech proven?" answered Oag while releasing the protrusion of his tentacles that almost entered the nostrils and ears of the General. The atmosphere in the place was tense for a moment.
