CROAKKK! CROAKKK!
"FROG!"
"It seems there are frogs in the ground."
"Hm... the ground is quite mushy, so let—"
BAAANNNGGHH!
Before he could finish a huge mass dropped from above and slamd onto him like a falling boulder.
"Muaaah—Kuaaah!"
The cadet beneath it was squeezed as the air exploded out of his lungs.
For a brief mont no one moved then soone scread.
"What the f—WHAT THE F*CK IS THAT?!"
The creature slowly rose. Mud slid off its swollen body with wet slapping sounds. It looked like a frog... but only in the loosest sense.
The thing was three ters wide, its body grotesquely bloated like a corpse left rotting in a swamp. Its skin was pale green and translucent in places, and under the flesh sothing twitched and crawled.
Its throat ballooned outward.
CROOOAAAKKKK—
The sound wasn’t a normal croak.
It sounded like multiple voices screaming through water.
Worst of all—
Across its back and stomach were dozens of bulging sacs.
Inside those sacs were eyes.
Dozens of them were blinking and watching.
So were human-like. So were vertical like reptiles. So rotated slowly as if searching for prey.
One of the cadets whispered in horror.
"Why... does it have... so many eyes...?"
Then the frog opened its mouth.
Inside the throat—
More eyes opened.
"RUNNNN!!!"
The entire group exploded into chaos. Cadets began sprinting blindly across the swampy ground.
"MOVE MOVE MOVE!"
"WHY IS TRAINING LIKE THIS?!"
"THIS ISN’T A FROG THIS IS A DEMON!"
"MOM I’M SORRY I DIDN’T LISTEN TO YOU!"
Mud splashed everywhere as they ran.
But in their panic they forgot the most important thing.
The breathing circulation pattern.
One cadet suddenly stumbled.
"AH—!"
He crashed face-first into the mud.
"Get up, you idiot!" soone shouted while running past.
The boy tried to stand.
Then he froze.His voice slowly trembled.
"...Guys?"
"...Why does my leg feel weird...?"
He looked down and then he scread.
"MY LEG!!! MY FUUUUCKING LEG!!!"
His roar made several cadets turn.
And when they saw it,their throats tightened.
His calf had swollen grotesquely, forming several round bulb-like growths beneath the skin.
The flesh pulsed.
Then..
Pop.
The bulbs split open.
Pairs of tiny wet eyes pushed out from inside his leg that were blinking which gave everyone deep chills.
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!"
"YOUR LEG IS WATCHING !"
"WHY DOES YOUR LEG HAVE EYES?!"
One cadet scread at him.
"IDIOT! CIRCULATE THE BREATHING PATTERN MISS AESA TAUGHT!"
The injured boy panicked.
"Aha—aham— I don’t rember!"
"YOU DON’T REMBER?!"
"IT WAS TOO MANY STEPS!"
"WE’RE GOING TO DIE BECAUSE YOU DIDN’T STUDY!"
Suddenly—
BOOOOOM!!
The ground exploded.
Mud erupted like a geyser.
From beneath the swamp several twisted creatures burst out.
Slimy bodies with agged limbs and crooked mouths.
The mud itself began shifting, dragging their legs down as if the earth had turned into living sludge.
"THE GROUND IS EATING !"
"MY BOOT IS GONE!"
"WHO STOLE MY BOOT?!"
"I DIDN’T STEAL IT, THE MUD ATE IT!"
"STOP STEPPING ON !"
"THAT’S NOT MY LEG!"
"THEN WHY ARE YOU HOLDING IT?!"
"Save eeee!!"
A cadet flailed as the mud swallowed him to the waist.
"Circulate the breathing!"
"I’M TRYING!"
"TRY HARDER!"
"I CAN’T REMBER STEP THREE!"
"IT’S INHALE THEN—"
"AAAH SOTHING LICKED MY EAR!"
In the chaos—
Soone’s face suddenly flattened into the mud.
"GUAAAH—WHO STEPPED ON MY FACE?!"
A foot had used his head like a stepping stone.
Then another.
And another.
"STOP USING AS A BRIDGE, YOU MONSTERS!"
One cadet shot forward rapidly, hopping over bodies and heads like stones across a river.
Face.
Shoulder.
Back.
Jump.
"WHO IS THIS?!" soone yelled.
Several cadets turned in shock.
They saw a figure calmly advancing through the chaos using the panicking students as stepping stones to cross the swamp.
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
Soone scread in outrage.
"HEY! THAT’S MY HEAD!"
The figure didn’t even look down and continued moving forward. As they saw his back, soone scread—
"Fuckkkkkk!"
"NOOEEEELLLLLLLLLL!"
"Stop screaming." I ignored everything behind and rushed ahead while grinning like a lunatic.
Mud splashed under my boots as I sprinted through the swamp.
"Idiots..."
"No wonder your brain is filled with shits."
I didn’t forget to leave so sarcastic remarks as I tore my way forward through the chaos like a gentleman abandoning a burning building.
Behind ..
"AHHHH!"
"MY LEG!"
The sound of their screams... those painful roars...Those lumps bursting open...
And those disgusting blinking eyes...
"Ahhhhhh..."
A shiver ran down my spine but not because of fear.
"I fucking love it."
More... scream more...
I want to hear m—
"WHAT!"
I shouted suddenly.
My body reacted instantly. I kicked off a cadet’s back and jumped over another one’s face like a professional swamp acrobat.
In that sa mont—
BOOOOOM!
A massive object slamd into the tree behind with a violent bang.
The trunk cracked and exploded into splinters.
My eyes widened.
"What the hell was that?!"
Then I heard it.
"NOEEELLLLLLLLLLL!"
I slowly turned my head.
What I saw made my soul try to leave my body.
A huge bulky figure was charging toward like a raging bulldozer, smashing through trees and bushes without slowing down.
CRACK!
THUD!
SMASH!
Branches snapped as the massive body tore through the forest straight at .
I scread.
"FUCKKK! WHO IS THIS GORILLA?!"
The huge figure suddenly stopped and slamd both fists against his chest.
THUMP! THUMP!
He puffed his chest proudly and roared.
"It ain’t gorilla... IT’S SUNTAAAAA!"
And before I could even process the stupidity of that statent.He launched himself forward.
BOOOOM!
The ground exploded under his feet as he shot toward like a human cannonball.
"What the—?!"
The man literally leapt into the air, flying straight at with a raised fist like so low-budget martial arts movie hero.
Since I was already mid-air from my jump,I raised my own fist instinctively to counter and threw a jab from my left.
My brain shouted heroic nonsense.
Do sothing cool.
Kung fu dodge.
Matrix spin.
Ani protagonist shit.
However—
My expression froze.
CUNGGGGGT!
The mont our fists collided—
A horrifying force blasted through my arm.
"—!"
My entire body flipped upside down from the impact alone.
I didn’t even get punched properly.Just the collision sent flying like a kicked football.
"AAAAAH—!"
BAAAANG!
My back slamd violently into a tree.
The trunk shook.Leaves exploded everywhere.Then my body bounced off like a rubber ball.
I rolled across the muddy ground three tis.
"Guh—"
Spin.
"Ugh—"
Spin.
"Bleh—"
I finally stopped rolling and lay flat on the ground staring at the sky.
My head was spinning so were trees.
Even the sky looked like it was doing yoga.
"Damn..."
I slowly sat up while holding my head.
"What is that shit..."
