Groundfall.
A dark and thundering forest.
A man fell out of a multi-colored portal with lightning, rolling across the ground, he landed in a river reflecting dark gray clouds.
So the body swam a long distance until it ran aground.
Suddenly, an animal roar rang out from the depths of the forest. The kid jumped up and began to fumble with the words.
— What? What's season now? Is it third?
After looking around, he calmed down and went out onto the bank, where he fell to the ground. After checking the bracelet and realizing that it was short-circuited, he sat down and spoke.
— There's someone in the ass again. Figuratively, of course.
He got up slowly and examined the clothes.
— I'm still wet, damn it. So I need to think about what I have: a portal where I was sucked into, it's unclear where I ended up, wet, without equipment, and it seems I stopped feeling my green crap. At least he was unharmed... It's bad that I'm talking to myself.
Glory walked along the riverbank. But apart from the forest, he saw nothing for an hour on the road, until at some point he noticed a flock of large midges by the river. The kid stopped and became quiet until he felt something on his shoulder. It was a big green midge that had clung to the skin because of the hole in the suit. Glory quickly chased her away, but after a moment the whole pack did not chase him.
The kid had no choice but to run into the woods screaming.
— B%tch, b%tch, b%tch!
After running through large overgrown bushes, he noticed the top of a small mountain and headed there, but a flock of midges did not let him breathe.
Noticing a vine in the distance that he could cling to, he was covered with green energy and jumped up, but the green energy immediately stopped working and Glory fell short of the vine and rolled down a small cliff. When he reached the bottom, he sighed.
He stood up and dusted himself off, grumbling as he walked on.
— Little bloodsuckers. The freaks. Dogs...
He approached the small mountain, stood next to it, and spoke.
— Mmm... The f@ck.
He walked along the foot of the mountain.
— Once you pledge... Go around stage.
After walking around half of the mountain, he finds a small gap that leads into a long dark cave.
— Well, at least I found a place to sleep in this dump.
Glory examined the area, there were thickets around, which went further into the forest.
The boy went on a cleaner path, where he found the first dry stick, and then the second and another, in joy, he went further into the forest with a whistle.
After a while, he came across a small clearing, where his gaze was attracted by a moving blue object.
He quietly approached it, seeing that this object turned out to be a slime, he put down the brushwood and came close.
— Oh, who do we have here? What a nice fantasy slime.
He crouched down to be on equal footing.
— Are you an elemental or just a liquid? And you have a nucleus, and even eyes. Listen, how do you even see? You probably don't even have neural connections.
He touched Slime.
— It's also sticky. I'll call you Stickyn, don't you mind? Of course you don't mind, you can't even answer.
Suddenly, Glory felt a heavy weight on his shoulder, and as he turned around, he noticed another slime clinging to him.
— Well, buddy, I didn't call you...
Glory said, while another slime clung to his other shoulder and the boy fell on his back.
They switched to his hands, because Glory couldn't move them, Stickyn was approaching his feet.
— Hey hey hey, what the f@ck has started?!
The slimes began to eat through the suit, and Stickyn reached the shoe.
— No! B%tch! No need, I've already seen such a plot!
The kid quickly got his bearings and held the slimes' cores in his hands, after which he barely crushed them with the help of energy.
The slimes blurred, and Glory freed his hands and pushed Stickyn away.
— Oh, you scum! I wanted to tame you, and then maybe... F@ck you!
Stickyn staggered back, Glory threw a branch at him, which got stuck inside his body without damaging it.
Stickyn hurried to hide in the woods.
— Don't let me see you here anymore, you bastard!
Stickyn hurried away. Glory scraped the slime off himself with a stick.
The kid smelled the smell coming from the slime and immediately scratched his head.
He left some of the dry sticks in the cave, and he found the nearest river, where he stuck a stick with slime. Small fish clung to the stick. Glory took them out and folded them on a large green leaf that he had picked on the way.
Glory repeated the procedure several times, which provided him with food for the next 2 days.
But in order to eat a fish, it needs to be cleaned, which is why the boy spent an hour cleaning one fish.
Glory lay down to rest, but hunger did not allow the boy to lie down for a long time. The boy gathered stones and, having built a circle, fenced off a place for a bonfire.
He picked up more branches and dried fluff. He put the fluff right in the center of the fire, after which he began to rub the sticks together for a long time and painfully.
The kid tried to use the green energy, but apart from the blinking, nothing else happened.
Then the kid got angry and tried to force the stones against each other, but no sparks flew out.
The boy collapsed from impotence.
The sun gradually began to set below the horizon. The kid sat down, and then thought about it.
— Why not?
Glory shifted to the lotus position, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. It took 10 minutes until he calmed his breathing.
The kid was covered in green energy, but now he was shimmering with it.
Glory began to levitate above the ground. When he reached a meter and a half, he opened one eye to make sure.
The boy stood on the ground and, taking two stones in his hands, hit one against the other. Sparks flew around the campfire, Glory blew on the fluff and the bonfire finally lit up. The boy happily started cooking, namely, he simply threw the peeled fish onto a red-hot stone.
Several hours have passed.
A well-fed boy prepared a place for himself to sleep at the entrance to the cave. He lay down on the grass mat and was ready to close his eyes. Suddenly, through the crackling of the fire, there was a rustle in the bushes.
The boy started up and approached the campfire. After making a homemade torch, he quietly began to approach the bushes.
— Stickyn?..
Suddenly, three dark green wolves jumped out of the bushes, surrounded the boy and began to growl.
— Good dogs... Ah! What's it?
The boy pointed his finger in the direction of the forest, but the wolves did not bat an eye.
Then the kid ran there himself, headlong.
— What an ugly world!
Glory ran through the trees and bushes, trying not to put out the torch. Stumbling a couple of times, he climbs up a tree, looks around and finds a river.
He resorts to it and sees a green river, which he will have to swim across.
— Yeah, why the hell is everything green here?
Then the boy tried to calm down and closed his eyes, but the wolves, who had already come running after him, prevented him from concentrating.
Glory tried to scare them off with a torch, but he couldn't do it.
The boy was backing along the river and came across a tree that grew in the water and the root peeked out.
One of the wolves attacked the boy, but he hit him on the head with a torch.
The wolf flew away, and the others immediately wanted to attack, but the boy jumped on the root.
The water delayed the wolves. The boy tried to use the green energy, but it quickly went out. Then the boy focused on his hand and was able to cover it with green energy for a few seconds in order to have time to touch the flame of the torch.
The flame of the torch turned green, which scared the wolves. The kid jumped ashore and started waving a torch.
— Ha! Look, I'm a f@cking wizard!
The wolves began to whine, Glory waved a torch in front of their faces, which caused them to run back into the forest.
The boy raised the torch.
— That's it... Still, I burned my hand.
At that moment, an arrow flew into the torch and the fire scattered, Glory immediately threw the torch away and looked in the direction of the shot.
30 meters away, an archer with pointed ears was pulling a bowstring, and the one standing closer, a knight in armor with a sword and shield, shouted.
— Stay where you are!
Glory held up his hands.
— Wow, new episodic characters.
Peeking out from behind the bushes, the robed mage aimed his staff and shot out energy.
A second before the hit, Glory spoke.
— Oh fu...
Regio Cineris.
The grey steppe.
A multi-colored portal opens, which stands out from the surroundings of the area because of its bright glow. Runo falls out of the portal at high speed and flies several meters.
The boy sparkles with colorful lightning, trying to get up.
Only the kid had time to come to his senses, as the portal closed.
The lightning stopped and Runo was able to sit down calmly. He looked around.
— So the portal sent me here... The bracelet doesn't work, the battery is dead.
The kid stood up and looked at himself.
— The portal has absorbed most of the energy, we need to write it down... Is there anything reasonable here?
Runo jogged off in the first direction he saw.
— Talking to yourself is the first sign of insanity... Fortunately, I have to.
After about a kilometer, the kid was exhausted. The clouds thickened.
— But couldn't have me... Should I drop it off in the village? Or at least the forest?
Runo sat down to rest. Noticing something in the gray dry grass, he spoke.
— Oh, the pebble!
The kid examined him thoroughly.
— Purple... quartz? Or salt?
Runo thought for a moment, then licked the purple-transparent side of the stone.
The kid grimaced and threw away a pebble.
— Phew... salt.
But when he heard the sound of a pebble falling, he examined the grass and saw a small handful of such stones and a purple ledge, from which small purple lightning bolts emanated over other stones.
The clouds thickened even more. Faint rumbles of thunder could be heard.
Runo looked up and just saw a coiled lightning bolt.
— Note No. 1 - Purple, cool.
At that moment, lightning abruptly struck a stone ledge, and the boy was thrown back by the shock wave.
The kid recovered and spoke.
— Note No. 2 - do not stand near purple stones, note No. 3 - do not lick purple stones, note No. 4...
Runo saw a glowing ledge and pebbles.
— No. 4 - if lightning strikes, the stones glow.
The boy picked up a small stone half covered with purple radiation. Lost in thought, he brought a pebble and gently touched it to the bracelet.
The bracelet blinked and turned on.
— Ye-as!
Runo disguised the costume in the colors of the area. But I couldn't do anything else.
— It's a pity there is no connection. I wish I had a voice assistant that could find the network. Okay, I'll do it when I get home.
Runo took a few pebbles and stuffed them into his pockets, then walked on.
Several hours have passed.
Runo was barely dragging on the ground. He sat down to rest.
— I was probably lucky, the others probably got into some kind of battles, the guards probably caught them, or the animals ate them, but I did... steppe and pebbles. Or maybe?.. — The boy closed his eyes, lost in thought.
However, he remembered about the pebbles and took out one of them, after careful inspection, the boy carefully licked the purple side.
Runo received a charge of current and cheered up. Then he closed his eyes and began to speak.
— The forest, the forest... some kind of gray... black, white, red - it doesn't matter.
After a moment, Runo felt a tremor all over his body. Opening his eyes, the boy saw a gray forest around him.
He jumped.
— It worked! What a genius I am... — then he collapsed to the ground and started holding his head.
— Oh, my blood pressure's gone up... Wow, there are more stones. Not the usual ones.
Runo noticed that the purple stones had lost all charge and stopped emitting light.
— I wish I could find some game to eat right now. — Runo said, looking at the vine hanging from the tree.
At that time, a small gray animal, similar to a fox cub, with rabbit paws was running through the forest.
The animal moved silently through the trees until it came across a handful of nuts among the bushes.
The animal, after looking around, approached the nuts and began to eat the nuts with the help of its paws.
The bushes moved, and before the animal could react, a giant purple-topped animal leaped out of the bushes and grabbed the Forabbit in its teeth.
After that, it ruthlessly began to eat the animal.
The animal heard the sound of the bushes rustling and abruptly ran in that direction. Another liquor flickered between the trees, running from one bush to another.
The animal was running right behind him. The Forabbit jumped into the big bushes under the tree, the Animal right behind him.
At that moment, the vines stretched the net and the animal was suspended from the tree.
Runo came out of hiding.
— Ha ha gotcha! Wait, aren't you a wolf? No, I don't eat dog meat, I don't...
The purple wolf's fur began to emit lightning. The kid moved away, but the lightning bolts were attracted to the stones in his pockets and charged them.
— So you're a walking electric generator!
At that moment, the wolf broke the net and fell to the ground.
— Note No. 5 - a dielectric will be added to the net.
The wolf stood up and glared at the boy. The boy looked thoughtfully at the wolf.
The wolf jumped on Runo, who dodged and ran in the opposite direction, screaming.
— Note No. 6 - they will not agree to join superhero teams under any circumstances!
The boy was making his way through dry bushes and trees, the wolf was dragging after him. Suddenly, Runo caught a Forabbit running past.
— Don't worry, you strange animal, I'll save you.
Forabbit bit the boy's finger, a Runo with words.
— Aw, f@ck. — he dropped the animal, which got hit by the wolf's lightning and disappeared.
Runo dawned. He continued running at the same speed, but looked up more and more often, waiting for the right moment, he teleported and found himself right above the wolf.
Runo landed on the wolf's back and grabbed onto the fur, lightning began to run between the stones in the boy's pockets.
Runo shouted.
— Home, Walter!
The boy and the wolf teleported away.
A grey village by the shore of a bleak sea.
There was a stone fence around the perimeter, and inside there were rectangular houses made of the same material, a crowd of residents gathered in the middle of a round building resembling a well.
At that moment, a Runo riding on a wolf appeared in the sky from a flash of purple lightning, which flew at speed into the house next to the well.
They punched a hole. After the dust subsided, the residents went to look at the alien object.
Runo, covered in dust, cleared his throat.
— So, is not even close to San-Fenji.
Additional pistols were suddenly pointed at Runo, from which a purple glow began to appear.
— Well, in general, it is expected...

Groundfall.
The Dungeon.
Glory was being dragged along the corridor by two guards. The kid spoke through the ringing in his ears.
— Wow, the first scene after the credits, how much later?.. However, it doesn't matter, the main thing is exciting.
They passed by solitary cells, in which different figures sometimes flashed by.
— I'm looking forward to what will happen now. A sharp twist? An unexpected character? That ogre over there is clearly a "Chekhov's gun".
The guards stopped by an empty cell. They threw the kid in there and closed the camera.
Glory sat down with a smile, but after noticing a large pumpkin with a carved face, he looked maliciously in the direction of the guards.
— So, I didn't understand! Was that a hurry?!
The kid got up and started shaking the bars.
— And you spent the first post-credits scene on this, for the sake of a celebration that has already passed? You're a fu...
