Affection Through Time (Chrome X Reader)

Chapter 1

Previously on Prologue

I try to move my body, but none of them move. I try to speak... but couldn't. For the first time, I actually feel scared. My surrounding is full of darkness. I can feel myself panicking. So many questions starts filing my head. But the more I try to think of possible answers, the more panicked I become because I can't figure out a single thing.

What the hell is going on??

-New World-

Y/N P.O.V

Darkness

Emptiness

Loneliness

Those are the words to express how I feel once the world surrounding me turns dark. I don't know how much time has passed since that day. I don't even know what's going on with me. Why can't I move.

I hear the sound of cracking. Which gives me hope. I feel my body finally freed from the prison that have kept me for so long. I squint my eyes when I finally see the first light. I take a deep breath as I move to sit down.

I notice fragments of stones surrounding my body. I yelp and hug myself to cover my exposed private parts. First darkness, now this?? Waking up in a weird place naked. Just what the bell is going on??

I look around the place to make sure no one is around. But the only thing I see are animals, no sign of human. I let out a sigh of relief. The last thing I want is to be seen by anyone in this state.

I quickly stand up and rush towards a tree. I pull off some leaves to cover up. I wrap it around me. The leaves kind of prickly. But I guess I don't have a choice, but to wear these. At least until I find something else to wear.

I turn to look at the distance. Now that I have some sort of cover up. I have to figure out how to fulfill my needs. I guess I'll need to make myself a weapon. I turn around and start to gather some materials to make weapons. I think archery and stone sword would work.

I turn my head to look at the sky and sigh when I notice how dark it's getting. I have worked on these weapon for hours. But I finally finished my weapons. I lean my back against the tree to rest for a bit.

"God... this is tiring" I mumbled to myself. I stretch my body above my head. I feel drained of energy. It's been an entire day, and I haven't had a single meal. I hope I'll be able to get something to eat.

I turn my attention to the weapon I've created. I reach over and grab the sword I have made. I hold it up to admire my hand work.

I've trained the art of Kendo for quite a while, so I just need a little adjustment to be able to use a sword. I turn my attention to look at the archery I've created.

As for archery... I've never shot an arrow before. So I'm gonna need some practice. I've always loved sports and trying new things, so I won't give up so easily. I should probably start to build something to sleep in. But before that, I'm gonna try to make some trap.

A While Later

I lay down inside the tent I've created. I turn to lay on my side, trying to ignore the grumbling sound and hunger on my stomach. I hope the traps I created manage to catch something. So I can finally get a decent meal.

I rub my stomach, hoping it would somehow ease the hunger I'm feeling. I let out a sigh and turn to lay on my side. I should just try to sleep through it. My breathing evened out as I slowly drift off to sleep.

I make my way towards the traps I've placed. So far, I have managed to capture small animals; like rabbits and squirrels. I feel bad for having to kill these animals. But I don't have a choice. It's them or me. I'll die if I didn't eat anything.

I walk towards the last trap I've created, hoping it would catch a big animal. So I can use its skin to create an outfit. I can't go on with just leaves on my body. The air around me lets me know that it's close to winter. It'll be a game over if I have to be in the cold with skimpy outfits like the one I'm wearing.

I let out a sigh of happiness when I realize I've managed to catch a deer. Finally! I can make an outfit with its skin. I walk towards it as it tries to run away. I bit my lips as I feel bad for having to take away its life.

"I'm so sorry for doing this to you" I said, in a sad tone. I take out my sword and slash its neck right off. I let out a sigh as I drop on my knees. I feel tears stream down my cheeks. But I can't keep feeling this way if I want to survive.

Time-skip

I've eaten some of the meat of the deer. Now I just have to make myself an outfit. Good thing I've also learned a thing or two about crafts, or making an outfit would be a hard thing to do.

After stitching the final stitches, I take off the leaves from my body. I let out a sigh of relief because I don't feel the prickly sensation anymore. God, having to wear leaves as outfit itches... a lot.

I walk towards the water to stare at my reflection. "Pretty good..." I said. This outfit isn't much, but at least I don't have to walk around looking like a tree.

I move away from the water and stretch my arms above my head. Finally, I'm getting somewhere. It might not be much but it's still count as progress. God, I'm exhausted.

I grab my stuff, along with the leftover meats. It should at least lasts me for three days. Hopefully, the meat won't go bad by then. My skills in archery are still bad but it's quite decent. Can't call myself an archer yet though.

I climb inside the house I've created. I lay down on the ground and place my hands above my head. I stare at the ceiling as my mind starts drifting off, wondering what's going with this world. Why did everyone suddenly turned into stone?
