"Another hard day of work. Time for some well earned rest!" Ryan said to himself as he dropped into bed and closed his eyes. It wasn't a hard day for him at all, but he was feeling a little lazy today, so he went to bed early. It didn't take long before he fell asleep.
Everything was dark, he still had his eyes closed, but he didn't feel anything. Did he really fall asleep? The light of daytime and the feeling of wood against his back made Ryan wake up. Much to his surprise, he found himself in a forest, sitting on a branch with his back against the trunk of some tree in said forest. Ryan didn't recognize the forest at all, but like any dreams, he considered it to be the most normal thing there was. Still, something was off.
Confused and lost, he stretched as he looked around a little. The branch was uncomfortable and his legs fell asleep, how he ever managed to sleep here was beyond him. With a quick heave, he lifted one leg over the branch, trying to sit on the branch with the treetrunk to his side. Sadly, his foot got stuck behind the branch and Ryan fell off of the branch, dangling on it with just his foot holding him up. Not much later his foot gave way and Ryan dropped to the floor like a ripe fruit.
As a reflex, Ryan builds up pressure in his body, which becomes hard as rock and he lands unharmed, though his back now covered in dirt. He groans as he gets up. "What a great way to start the day." He thinks to himself as he removes the dirt from his back. Now on the ground, he looks around again, but recognizes nothing at all and nobody seemed to be anywhere close. He didn't know how far into the forest he was and where a city would be, so the best option would be to look around from higher ground.
Ryan looked up and smirked. He still liked to do this very much, despite having it done several times. He hardens his head and his shoulders, just in case he'd hit some branches on his way up. He built up pressure in his feet, then jumped up a little. The blast he released sent dirt beneath him flying everywhere, but launched himself upwards, too, breaking several branches as he made his way up. Now "flying" above the trees, Ryan could see over the entire forest. He smiled, it was nice to fly, even if it wasn't really flying, still, he liked it.
Up above, at first, he couldn't see much, but some trees turned to ash, which was pretty weird. He could also hear some commotion coming from there, a fight perhaps?
Ryan was already losing momentum, now hovering at the same height and slowly beginning to fall down again. He built up pressure again, aiming his feet away from the source of the commotion, he let loose another blast, boosting himself over the others. With smaller continuous downwards boosts, Ryan sort of hovered high above the others. He looked down, then saw them fighting some sort of ash monster. He shrugged it off and let himself fall, hardening his legs to absorb the incoming impact.
"Hehehe, I'm gonna drop down on top of that monster, then kick the other's butt and impress all of them." He thought to himself, with that same confident smirk on his face. He should've paid more attention to where he was going, though, as he nearly fell on top of Explicit. His body, given the speed he gained, fell through the ground and Ryan was now just an upper body sticking out of the ground in front of Explicit. His legs were buried in the ground.
"Oh, uhm, sorry." He said and laughed weakly as his cheeks turned red. He pushed himself out of the ground, while he really just wanted to bury himself completely.
