Emperor of the north

Ch1

My name is Erwin Schneider. I am an ex-military officer from the northern military union. I was in a cafe with some friends just moments ago now I am inside an endless void.

Everything was black, and I couldn't see anything for a time. Sometime later, small fragments of lights started to appear.

All of them were going in a direction, but I couldn't move how hard I try.

More time passed, and human-like figures appeared near fragments of lights. They started talking. I couldn't understand any word they said, but my heart started to feel lighter as I hear their voices.

When their talk ended up, their faces started to turn towards me. At that moment, I saw the smile of a psychopath looking at his victim.

Voices that lightening my heart started to make me uncomfortable. Their look was making me scared. The last thing I heard was their laugh, and I fainted instantly.

A cold breeze is hitting my body. I shivered. Where am I? I tried to open my eyes, but they didn't.

Five minutes later, I managed to open my eyes. I can see branches of a tree and a cloudy sky. What time is it? I don't know.

My body is trembling because of the cold, but I couldn't move my arms or legs. I will rest for five more minutes.

Another cold breeze hit me. I opened my eyes again. This time I can move my limbs. Still, my arms are not strong enough to carry my body.

There is a tree near me. I may crawl next to it and use it as a support.

How did this happen? I thought while slowly crawling towards the tree. I can swear I was at a cafe with my friends just a moment ago.

My head hurts as I try to remember what happened. Did someone kidnapped and threw me here. It will explain the hallucinations I saw, but I am not sure if they are hallucinations.

Did someone try to make a foul out of me! I finally managed to reach the tree.

I put my hands grabbed with all my power and lifted my body. Even a simple movement like this took a lot of energy. I lean my back to the tree.

"If someone is making a joke, it's not funny, and don't make me find you!"
No one responded.

My body feels heavy, my legs are shaking. I can only stay up because I lean my back to a tree. My view started to glitch. I think I will faint right now.

How long have I fainted? one hour, two, maybe four? At least I feel better now.

I put my on the tree and pulled my body to get up. Easier this time, I start to feel better any moment, but my headaches, I feel exhausted and cold weather doesn't make resting any easier.

Should I need to state that I don't have any idea where I am right now?

I need to move, I can't wait here, or I will die because of the cold.

I looked at a long branch lying on the ground. I can use this as a walking cane.

I crouched and tried to reach the branch, but my view started to glitch. My body feels heavier again. Different colors are appearing in front of me. Now the colors are creating shapes in front of me.

What is happening, I can swear there are words right in front of me, but it's like they were looking like scribbles of a child. My eyelids started to become heavier. I couldn't handle it anymore. I just let my body fall.

The strange void appeared again. It almost feels like someone or something wants to torture me mentally.

Uncomfortable sounds turned into something worse. Screams, especially ones I heard from my military days.
