'Where am I now?' I thought to my self. The reason being that I woke up in a city that had first of all, flying debris, no person in sight and of course a weird looking sky.
'Did I get drugged or something?... No I can't because I was just going for a wal-' before I continue I second guess myself. 'No, I was at hom-'. As I try to remember I come up with a conclusion, I have no idea of what I was doing.
'Well, there is no use in just staying here. I am probably in a dangerous place so staying here would be more of a risk than staying in place for the authorities to find me...'
Walking around in an a... Abandoned? City, is quite creepy to be honest. "Was this place nuked or something?" I said out loud.
It seems that something roared in the distance, as it was trying to answer me. This made me stop and I immediately crunched because what ever that was, it did not sound friendly.
'What on earth was that?! It sounded like something that should not exist!' I crouched run to nearby cover and waited to see if the thing that roared would come here.
And speak of the devil, I see it coming from around the corner. A humanoid being, with one arm being... Replaced? Fussed? With a sword. And where it's head should be, there is a black sphere.
'WTF is tha!? How can something like that even exist?!'
'But it looks... Familiar? Something from a game, but what game'. I take a moment to think of the games I recently played, and than it hit me.
'That's an enemy from Zenless Zone Zero or ZZZ for short. Wait, than that means I have been Isekaid?!' As I think this something pops up in front of me, a text box.
[Congratulations User for finding your location! As a reward the Admin has granted you a system as reward!]
'What'
[The system is called Stand Gacha Bizarre (STB for short) which grants Quest in the way of goals. The system will not give you any powers but it will guide/hint of where to gain power]
'W h a t'
[To unlock the quest and Stand Storage, the user must find a Stand Arrow! So Good luck!]
'W H A T!'
I begin to seethe and cope of the reality that the system in a way said "Good job of understanding where you are, even if I am a system I will do nothing to help you until you find power. Good Luck not dying!"
As I begin to calm down after a minute or two I try to think of a plan. 'Ok so I need to find a Stand Arrow, it probably is in this death zone but... How am I going to find a stand arrow here?! They should not exist here?'
A take a deep breath and decide to look around if I see any threats and see nothing around and begin my walk.
After a few minutes of either seeing nothing and hiding from an ethereals that I hear or see nearby.
'While I haven't searched for a long time, I don't have a long time to stay in the hollow because of hollow corruption... And how am I going to get out of here? If I remember correctly than you need a 'carrot' to find your way out... Hold on... Does that not mean that I have gone around in circles?... FU-'
After using every curse word known to man for my dumbass I conclude that probably not doing anything would be as worse or even more worse than going to forward and hopefully not go in circles.
After a few more minutes pass I take a small break from walking. 'What am I going to do?... Please God, if you can hear me. Show me a sign or something at least! I don't want to die here so early... Especially when I can become someone with this system!' I begin to pray.
Even if I might not even have been a half hour here, I can feel myself getting sick. I feel tired, paranoid and have a small headache. If this goes on... There will be no hope for me.
Than as if God answered my prayers, I hear fighting. The sounds of roars the ethereals and the sounds of guns roaring match each others volume.
I decide to follow the noice because it is at least a destination, even if it is dangerous.
As I follow the sound I stumble to wall, a dead end. 'But what if it is an illusion of a dead end?' So I touch the wall and faze through the wall.
What I see is some men in blue shooting at some normal ethereals and one big ethereal dual wielding two weapons.
'Looks like the police, or was it public security?' As I look around I see that the cops are protecting other people inside a house.
'Did this hollow just pop up recently? Well I guess it might not matter that much right now.' As I look at the battlefield I see something, an arrow.
'Is that what I think it is?! Than I must get it before something happens to it's I begin to dash from cover to cover. The reason being, to not get anyone's attention.
As I get closer and closer to the location of the arrow, the big ethereal decided to turn back and for some reason. Instead of charging the police officers, it charges at me. The one that is not attacking the dam thing.
'Shit, Shit, Shit!' as my cover I blown, I begin to run to the arrow. I hear a yell from the officers. "We got a civy there and the ethereal is charging at him! Men focus the Goblin!" Another answers "But sir we might get overrun by the small ones! Than the other civilians would be in danger!"
I feel like time move slowly as I come closer and closer to the arrow. Even if it is just in my mind.
I slip and fall right in front of the arrow and notice some weird details of the arrow. Instead of being entirely golden, it has the color gold, black, green and purple. While the black, green and purple colors give it a look that screams of dangerous and errors.
'what if this is not the arrow? What if it just some random arrow from an ethereal? Than I will die probably from it's corruption. But what choice do I have?'
So with that thought I stand myself with the arrow.
[Stand arrow used! You got the stand...]
[MAGICIAN'S RED]
At this I feel like my brain is getting information overload. And it allows me to have almost a simple understanding of how to use Magician's Red.
I turn my face to look at the giant hollow, a few meters a away from me. It needs to go almost two steps before it can hit me, and take my head off.
I close my eyes and think of my Stand, Magician's Red and I yell out, atop of my lungs "Magician's Red!"
At my summon it appears behind me, it's menacing form of fire, human and bird giving it a weird aura.
I put my hands in a cross shape and scream out Abdul's iconic attack "Cross fire Hurricane!"
At this Magician's Red flyes a bit higher from the ground and gets makes fire inside it's mouth, in the way of almost breathing in the fire as air. And then spits it out the fire in the form of a massive ankh at the ethereal.
The ethereal, having already been wounded by the officers took the fire ankh head on. But it stood no chance against he fire of Magician's Red. And the ethereal began to disappear, becoming only particles.
I take a sight of relief. Look up and have a grin on me. "Not bad, Not bad at all"
(This was it for this chapter and I hope you enjoyed it. And if you did not read the synopsis than yes, every Stand that will appear will be random. And getting Magician Red of everything, is pretty wack I'm not going to lie. Tho I'm not complaining haha. And if anyone wonders if other can see stands than yes. I will give an in lore explanation next chapter. And if you are wondering why I'm making it visibl than the answer is simple. It would be boring without it being seen by anyone else so ye. Bye)
