-"???": Oh you are awake.
Wait.
-"???": Hey, don't be scared I mean no harm.
Wait.
-"???": My name is Argos Panoptes. I know I am a giant but really, I won't hurt you.
Let alone the person coming in wasn't a girl but a very scary looking muscular and tough looking giant. The second I saw that giant my chin dropped unconsciously. My plans had fallen into water, his "weapon" definitely won't work on this guy. He was as tall as two me's. Roughly three meters.
-"Me": Ughhhhh, hi sir.
-"Argos": Ahhhh don't need to be called as sir, just call me Argos. But now it's time to get up and eat! I don't know what humans eat so I tried my best to search and find what you could like. I checked some human books and found some recipes too, I hope you will like it.
-"Me": Alright, Argos-san...
He put the tray he was carrying onto the table's one side and he turned his back for me to sit on the other side of the table. In that instant with a very fast motion I hid the broken bed piece under my mattress. He could have decided to make my bed or try to lay there. They had a low chance of happening but they were possible so...
-"Me": Oh this really looks good.
Weirdly, I couldn't smell anything but this food was looking sooooo good. Like some Michelin Star 5 star restaurant quality good-looking. But there wasn't any smell. Because of that I thought he brought in some plain wheat porridge.
-"Argos": Really? Haha hearing that made me really happy! As I said I tried my best.
-"Me": Don't get it wrong but you really didn't had to spend that much effort just for me.
-"Argos": Why not? I am not going to ask for money or anything. I just enjoy helping others and I want to do it as best as I can.
-"Me": Alright my bad Argos-san.
-"Argos": I just said call me just Argos. And no more chatting! Now start eating!
-"Me": UNDERSTOOD SIR!
I didn't get why he was so pushy but i couldn't do anything but eat the food. I scooped out a big amount of meat and the soup. Yeah it was looking so good. I wasn't sure what meat was it but it didn't seemed like a dragon meat so it was fine. The water of the of the food was reddish and oily screaming out that it was spicy. I smelled it. It had no smell. I put that in my mouth and ate it. It barely had any taste. Was I sick?
-"Argos": Can you smell and taste it or not?
-"Me": Unfortunately not.
-"Argos": I guess you're going to get ill. Gotta keep you safe. Medicines in this town are not for humans. They could harm you even more. Me and my wife checked your body but there wasn't big wounds, you only had some bruises.
-"Me": So you are saying you will let me stay here for longer?
-"Argos": Yeah, but I don't mean you could stay here until you get better. I mean you could stay here as long as you want!
-"Me": As long as I want??? No no no, I really can't accept that much from you.
-"Argos": There is no problem, I insist.
-"Me": Ahhhhhh, I will think about it.
I continued to eat.
-"Argos": How long have you been awake for?
-"Me": Ummmm...
Shit I never expect this question to be asked. Should I lie and say "Not long before you came." or not lie and say "I don't know but its been kinda long?". I didn't knew how time worked or was named here so I had to answer it so open ended.
-"Me": I don't know. I guess it was kinda long tho.
-"Argos": Oh yeah? To be honest you are a very weird person. Not in the bad way though, in the normal way.
-"Me": Weird in a normal way? I guess so.
-"Argos": First of all you gave a very absurd reaction seing me.
-"Me": Huh?
-"Argos": Humans usually faint or even die when they see giants! But you only left speechless for a short time.
-"Me": Sometimes shock works differently, I guess, maybe I was so shocked my brain didn't knew what to do and just continued to work?
-"Argos": Really? Second of all you haven't told me your name.
-"Me": Ugh, I forgot about that, sorry. I was trying to process what was happening. Imagine opening your eyes in a room you don't know and the first person to enter the room is a giant. No offense.
-"Argos": Haha! No need to say it like that. You can say big scary looking giant, I won't get sad or mad. Third and most important of all we haven't talked about you fainting.
-"Me": Yes, my bad I sometimes just skip things. Thank you again for taking care after me. I just... was so shocked. About... being in a...
-"Argos": Non-human town right? Yeah it probably sucks. You should thank god I was there, other "creatures" could have done unimaginable thing to you. The second I saw you fall I just took you in.
-"Me": Yeah. Thank you again. The second I saw non-human people, my body just gave up.
It wasn't god tho.
It was Argos.
It was Argos who saved me.
It was not god.
I had nothing to thank god.
I had made god to thank me.
-"Argos": You seem to not want to tell about it huh?
-"Me": Its not like I don't trust you to talk about that but I don't want to talk about it. I just don't think its necessary or important.
-"Argos": You are not a talkative one yeah?
-"Me": Not really, I just talk when "needed" I don't like to talk about unnecessary things.
-"Argos": I won't force you then. Not like I was going to actually.
I had to ask some questions and learn about this world. Gotta hint that I lost some of my memories and forget things too.
-"Argos": You seem a fast adaptive person too.
-"Me": Yeah since my childhood that ability of myself were so handy. I can make good decisions or think normally under extreme conditions.
-"Argos": This will be very out of context but, what kind of books do you read?
Did psychology exist here?
-"Me": Psychological, mystery, philosophical and fantasy.
Fuck was I saying? FANTASY? IN A PARALLEL WORLD? I was feeling so safe I stopped thinking.
-"Argos": Oh. I could call it a niche taste I guess. Psychology, mystery, philosophy, and fantasy? I am a big fan of fantasy but I can't say I like mystery. But there could be psychology and philosophy books around here too.
He had changed the topic succesfully.
-"Me": Oh nice! Can I borrow some by the time I will be staying here?
-"Argos": Of course!
The biggest question was will I be able to read books of this world?
-"Me": Sorry for asking this kind of question but. Did you saw me anywhere if you don't count this meeting?
-"Argos": What? What are you even saying?
-"Me": Did I said something so stupid?
-"Argos": Of course you did! You are the first human I ever saw in my life! Humans nowadays are almost extinct. And non-human always kill you guys too! Which world were you living in?
Oh shit...
-"Me": ...
-"Argos": But don't worry I will protect you.
-"Me": ...
Fuck did he meant by that? Was being a human was a taboo in this world? What did humans even did to deserve that? WHAT DID I DID TO DESERVE THAT TOO. This was the first time I experienced extreme racism. And my life was under danger.
-"Argos": Hey are you okay? But how did you even not know about it? And you are the human. I am sorry I didn't expect you not to know. I guess that was why you didn't seemed very scared then haha!
-"Me": Its so strange... I don't remember that kind of things...
-"Argos": Huh? Are you saying you might have lost your memories?
-"Me": Yeah, probably.
I put my spoon down. Got up.
-"Me": Can I use the restroom?
-"Argos": Yeah sure, follow me.
He took the tray up and opened the gate that opened to another world.
"Sooooooooo."
"What is your name again?"
I couldn't dodge this, I guess...
