I M Already Standing On The Ground Novels & Stories

The record continues. The door is open. The ground is solid.

I just looked at where I was standing. What is this? The ground on which I stand is beginning to crumble! I anxiously looked up at the height of the wall where the other warriors were. The wall will soon give way but they are still there. "Get out of there right now!" I shouted at them with all my might before the high wall finally gave way.

Where… am I? I try to stand, pushing against the uneven floor beneath me, but my legs fail me. My left foot slips on something jagged, and I collapse back with a sharp cry as my ankle smashes against the solid floor. "Ah!" I groan, teeth clenched. Gingerly, I reach out, brushing my fingers across the cold, rough surface I hit. It's a large and oddly shaped stone. A rock? My fingertips trail along the cracks in the ground, and suddenly it dawns on me...

But I could not stop thinking about what was on the ground or was it just my imagination? In the end, I made a choice of checking the ground and put an end to my overthinking habit. I started walking carefully, making sure not to slip on the grass. It was mostly empty, a few students were standing on the other end of the ground. I moved towards the bush near the tree. There was nothing, no sign of any animal, not even a mouse.

My feet left the ground. And then I was falling — landing directly on top of him. Oh no.

I make sure to plant my feet firmly on the ground with each step. As I reach the middle of the grid, I feel my ankle wobble and quickly steady myself by placing my other foot next to the wobbling ankle. This forces me to come to a complete stand still in the middle of the grid. I take a deep breath and prepare myself to continue walking, making sure that I have my balance now.

August's POV We were welcomed with a high salute from the guards. Until now I still can't move on with this place. It just feels too unreal. But no matter how many times I say no way in my mind, this place freaking exists and I am even standing on it right now. We are no longer in the cloud part but we are on the ground. My life is no longer in danger.

“lets do this!” I tsked, standing up. “you are on.”

I lay sideways in the dirt, needing to stay grounded, feeling the world fleeting around me. “Rest, mate. I’ll handle things from here.”

I fell to the ground and collapsed. ~
