Chapter 87: Moon & Mars-like Planet

As I soared through the vastness of space, the moon in front of me grew larger and larger with every passing second. The darkness of the cosmos stretched endlessly around me, interrupted only by the distant twinkling of far-off stars. It was both mesmerizing and a little eerie. And with no air resistance or gravity to slow me down, I just kept flying forward, like cruising in a plane—smooth, with no wind or force pushing against me.

Eventually, not long after—

BAAAAAMMM!!!

I slammed into the moon’s desolate surface, my landing sending up a cloud of dust that quickly settled around me. I stood where I am for a moment, absorbing the alien landscape. The gray, barren ground stretched out before me, craters scattered across the surface like pockmarks on an old face.

The silence was overwhelming, broken only by the faint sound of my internal breathing. There was no wind, no movement—just a peaceful stillness that hung in the air. Despite the emptiness and lack of life, a strange sense of accomplishment washed over me. It felt as though I had achieved something monumental, and I couldn’t help but stand where I am for a while, taking in the peaceful silence and the calmness that settled around me.

So this is the moon, huh?

Then turning around, I glanced back at the monster-filled planet and couldn’t help but marvel at the view. The world I had just left earlier behind seemed so small from here—it looked no bigger than a tennis ball.

I didn’t hesitate for a second. I started strolling around, taking in every inch of this moon’s desolate view, even though there was nothing here to really explore. My curiosity pushed me to keep walking, wondering if there was some hidden detail or secret I might miss. The stillness of this place was both peaceful and mysterious, with only the endless stretch of barren land beneath my feet.

Incredible! So this is how the first group of astronauts from Earth felt when they first landed and set foot on the moon, huh? I bet the emotion they experienced was probably one of the greatest feelings in the world. After all, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

...

...

Time passed slowly, and eventually after a few hours of aimlessly wandering around with no real purpose, the initial sense of wonder and excitement faded. Boredom started creeping in, and I realized I was just walking in circles.

Welp, exploring the moon was quite enjoyable, but regrettably, there’s nothing to do here long term. Alright, I guess I’ve explored enough. With that said, it was time to leave.

My adventurous spirit wasn’t satisfied with just a solitary moon landing. The desire to explore other planets within this solar system fueled my determination. I pictured myself leaping from planet to planet, discovering new worlds, and perhaps encountering intelligent beings along the way.

With a renewed sense of purpose, I looked up at the vast dark sky and set my sights on the nearest planet from here.

Let’s see which planet is the closest one from here... After a brief search, I spotted it—there it is! Alright, let’s go!

Focusing intensely, I prepared myself for another powerful leap. Beyond the moon, my eyes fixed on the next celestial destination—a distant planet glowing faintly in the void.

Bending my knees once again, I channeled all my energy, drawing upon the vast reserves of power within me. With a resolute expression, I pushed off from the moon’s surface, rocketing into the silent expanse of space. This leap was no simple hop; this time the journey was longer, and the challenges were greater. Navigating the vast emptiness demanded far more precision—reaching a distant planet wasn’t as straightforward as landing on a nearby moon.

SWOOSH!!!

...

...

Roughly a week and a half later...

As I was approaching the nearby planet, the reddish orb slowly grew larger in front of me, expanding until it filled my entire field of vision. This new planet’s surface became more distinct with every passing second, and its atmosphere came into view—a faint, shimmering veil that encircled it like a delicate barrier, almost blending with the void of space.

Woohoo! There it is! Finally!

It was such a relief, especially after spending about a whole week of nonstop flying. I’d been waiting for this moment to arrive forever, and now, I was finally about to reach my destination. My heart raced as I thought about what awaited me, and I could barely contain my excitement. After all this time, it was finally happening.

After a while...

Calculating my descent, I adjusted my trajectory to ensure a safe landing. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned, and I ended up crashing onto the surface of this new planet.

THUMP!

Agh! Ouch...! That kinda hurt a little...

Damn, if it weren’t for my SSS-Rank stats, I’m pretty sure it would’ve hurt a lot more. Phew, thank god I’m no longer the weak person that I used to be—otherwise, things could’ve turned out a lot worse.

As soon as I landed on this unfamiliar planet, I started stretching to relieve the tension in my body and make myself feel more at ease. The rusty soil beneath my feet seemed oddly fitting as I marveled at the stark contrast between this planet and its neighbor. The landscape, though barren, had its own unique charm.

I glanced back at the distant planet that I had initially just left approximately a week ago—a tiny blue dot in the vast cosmic tapestry—and I couldn’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of freedom.

After landing on this reddish planet, my curiosity got the best of me, and I couldn’t resist going for a stroll to explore a little. There was something intriguing about this place, even though I didn’t really know why. I figured I’d give it a shot and see if anything interesting caught my eye.

As I wandered around, a thought crossed my mind: Hmm... why does this planet seem so familiar? The more I looked around, the more it started to remind me of something, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it.

Then it hit me. Wait a minute. This world looks kinda like Mars. Of course, I wasn’t saying it was identical to Mars—after all, no two planets are exactly the same—but there were definitely some striking similarities. Well, I don’t know if it’s just a weird coincidence or not, but nevertheless, it was still fascinating to think about.

...

...

As time passed and I found nothing of real significance, I eventually reached the point where I thought I had explored enough. With that, I figured it was time to depart.

Welp, there’s nothing here. Guess it’s time to leave and find another planet.
