Chapter 3 - Unpleasant Surprise

[JONAS'S POINT OF VIEW]

It's been a week since I was in this strange world. While I'm here, I help out with some menial tasks like chopping wood, fishing, and I've even learned how to hunt and dissect animals. Some of the resources are used to maintain our basic needs and some we use to sell and get money in the big cities.

Little by little, I'm getting used to being here, but I also miss home, my family, my friends, I wonder every day what they think has happened to me, I've probably been presumed dead or disappeared. It made me so angry that I wanted to get out of here and look for ways to get back home.

On an atypical day, David, David Junior and I went to collect some lines, we were in full swing, until a few droplets of rain began to fall, precipitating the rainstorm that was to come. As we wouldn't have time to get back, we hid under a tree. 

— Damn, the sky hadn't shown a single cloud until just now. Out of nowhere, the weather closed in," complained David.

— Patience... I don't think it's going to pass anytime soon," I said, somewhat pessimistically.

*BOOM*

— Wait, did you hear that noise? - David asked.

— I didn't hear anything.

— Neither did I.

— I heard a bang, I wonder if...

— It must have been thunder, right? 

*BOOM*

This time I heard it too, and it didn't sound like thunder, the sound was a bit more subtle. David put his ear to the ground and listened more carefully.

*BOOOM!

— DAMN! IT'S A TITAN! RUN! 

Desperate, we began to run euphorically as the rhythmic bangs increased, during our hallucinated escape, David Junior fell to the ground and put his hand on his ankle.

— AAAARGH! — As I'm closer, I go over to him to check out the situation.

— What happened, Junior? 

— I think... I think I've twisted my ankle.

— Damn it! There's no time — I put Junior on my back and keep running.

[AURA’S POINT OF VIEW]

Today must be my lucky day. I decided to leave the Titans' territory in search of interesting new life forms and ended up finding that peculiar smell I had smelled a few days earlier.

The smell of this little thing is wafting through the air, I wonder if it's because of the rain. Anyway, a few kilometers away I noticed a tiny isolated house. That must be where the little creature lives, so I decide to go and pay it a visit.

In just a few steps, I'm already very close to the tiny house. I think it's cute that it comes up to my big toe, to think that there's someone living inside this building... The more I look at it, the more I get excited.

I crouch down gracefully and, with my fingertips, try to carefully pull the house apart, but it's so fragile that it breaks: "How fragile, I tried to apply as little force as possible!"

While I was lifting the rubble from the house, a little woman came out and tried to run away from me. However, she is very slow and I easily catch her with my forefinger and thumb.

The tiny human screams and struggles between my fingers, and that makes things more exciting for me. Honestly, I love tormenting small creatures, when I was a child I did it very often but as I got older, I lost interest, but it seems that my old passion has been rekindled.

I bring the human close to my nostrils and sniff hard at her small body. To my disappointment, the smell I'm looking for hasn't intensified; like most insignificant creatures, she doesn't smell of ANYTHING. 

— How annoying — I was about to throw the human into my mouth, when I felt the peculiar smell intensifying little by little — I'll see what I do with you later.

I gently tuck the human into my thong and walk in the direction of the smell. Looking down, I see three tiny humans frozen by my grand presence. I lie on my stomach and stare back at them. To my surprise, they don't do what most tiny beings do, which is run when they see me. 

[JONAS'S POINT OF VIEW]

When we arrived at the house, we saw it completely destroyed and worse than that, the colossal woman who had captured Veronica and put her in her thong. With a mischievous smile, she approached us. I never thought I'd say something like that, but I felt like a mouse cornered by a cat, or rather a lion. A sense of fear, insecurity and insignificance permeated my mind.

Even in this situation of certain death, I won't abandon them, not when they help me, a complete stranger. And also, I've already died once, so dying again makes no difference to me. 

The giantess lies down on her stomach and brings her face extremely close to us, it's amazing how she takes up our entire view, I wonder what we look like to her. Suddenly, she gives a loud snort that creates strong gusts of wind, almost lifting us off the ground. 

— F-father, what do we do? — David Junior is clearly in a state of shock.

— Calm down, son, let's see what she wants with us. Anything, run!

With her colossal hand, the titan grabs the three of us and lifts us up to her face. We are mere crumbs, our lives are literally in the palm of her hand, it's frightening to think that we can do nothing but await our fate. 

Then she takes me between her index finger and thumb and sniffs me. After doing so, she makes a surprised face and then flashes a big smile. She throws David and Junior on the floor as if they were garbage and rises to her full height with only me clutched in her fingers. Before she left, she casually stepped on David, crushing him like an ant, only Junior managed to dodge in time.

— NOOOOOOOOO! — I'm shaken.

I can't move my body, pathetically trapped between a woman's fingers, I try to pull myself out but every effort is useless, I've never felt so frustrated in my entire life.

Chapter 4 - Living Toys

After a journey of about ten minutes, we were taken to the place where several titans live. As far as I could tell, they all wear rags that cover only their crotches, and their houses follow a simple pattern: wooden floors and thatched roofs, reflecting their harmony with nature and their low level of technology. 

To no one's surprise, they all look somewhat the same, with a brown skin, a large pointed ear and freckles all over their bodies; what changes from one to another is the color of their hair and the color of their eyes. I also noticed that they have archaic habits, like hunting with spears.

Anyway, we were taken to Titan's house. When we arrived, she put Veronica and me under the table: — COF! COF! COF! — Veronica's eyes were watering and she had a strong, peculiar smell - after all, she was inside the giantess's thong.

— Are you all right, Veronica? — I helped her recover.

— No... The smell inside her panties was horrible! I thought I was going to die... COF! COF! — The giant watched Veronica's suffocation with a certain pleasure.

— AND NOW... WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH YOU...? — said the Titan, leaning her elbows on the table and watching us as she imagined the possibilities.

— LEAVE US ALONE! WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH US? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS? — screamed Veronica. 

— I'M DOING THIS FOR... — The giant begins to think - FUN! I FIND IT PLEASURABLE TO SEE HOW VULNERABLE YOU LITTLE THINGS ARE. 

— ... — Veronica couldn't react.

— "AND YOU, LITTLE MAN, I MUST SAY YOU CAUGHT MY ATTENTION, YOU SMELL SO GOOD! IT MAKES ME WANT TO EAT YOU!

— If you do that, make sure you kill me first. Because if you swallow me alive, I swear I'll burst your organs from the inside out — I said without hesitation, looking deep into the giant's eyes.

— HAHAHAHAHA! AREN'T YOU AFRAID OF ME, LITTLE MAN? 

— I suffer from Urbach-Wiethe syndrome. I'm an individual incapable of feeling fear, no matter what you do or how terrifying you look. 

— I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND A WORD YOU SAID, BUT IF THAT'S TRUE...

 The Titan hovered her colossal finger under my small stature, while I remained motionless in exactly the same place. And then, suddenly, she lowered it a few centimeters from my position, and I didn't move a muscle. 

— HUH? I LIKE YOU, FROM NOW ON YOU'LL BE MY PLAYTHING — she laughed devilishly — YOU SAID YOU WEREN'T AFRAID OF ANYTHING, WEREN'T YOU?! BECAUSE I WILL "PLAY" WITH YOU UNTIL YOU ASSUME MY SUPERIORITY!

The Titan put the tip of her index finger in her mouth and pulled it out full of saliva, and like a meteor, it fell on me. Like an ant trapped in a sap, I struggled against the giant's sticky saliva, but I couldn't break free. Then she pulled me close to her face with a certain arrogance on her face.

— HOW PATHETIC, YOU CAN'T EVEN RESIST THE TIP OF MY FINGER AND YOU WANT TO MAKE ME BELIEVE YOU CAN HURT ME? WHAT A JOKE! — The giantess opened her cavernous mouth and threw me in — HUUUUMMM, YOU TASTE SOOOO GOOD, IT'S ALMOST IRRESISTIBLE TO KILL YOU.

The smell inside the Titan's mouth stank of sewage, her excessive saliva almost drowned me, I was thrown from side to side by her unbelievably huge tongue, finally she spat me out into her open palm.

— THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO SUBMIT TO ME, IF YOU DON'T, I GUARANTEE THAT THE NEXT TORTURE WILL BE WORSE.

— COF! COF! COF! — I coughed, clearing the rest of the saliva that stuck in my throat — If you want to kill me, do it once!

— BUT THAT'S TOO EASY! HAHAHAHA! WHERE'S THE FUN IN THAT? — The giantess picked me up again, this time placing me on the ground next to her massive feet - KISS AND SLAY MY FINGERS!

— I refuse! I'd rather you killed me! — I said loud and clear.

— IF THAT’S  THE CASE, YOU DON'T CARE IF I SLAUGHTER THIS HUMAN — The giantess placed her hand above Veronica's.

- Tsk!

As the Titan ordered, I kissed and licked her thumb. It tasted like extremely salty rotten cheese, and the smell alone was nauseating, but I remained firm, strong and resilient. She made me lick every crevice of her foot, this torture went on for several minutes, which for me was hours, until she finally had enough. 

*TITANIC YAWN*

— I'M TIRED... NOW I'M GOING TO SLEEP. TOMORROW WE'LL PLAY MORE, MY TOYS — Titan took Veronica and me and put us in a glass container.

— Are you all right? — Veronica saw that I was clearly weak, exhausted and nauseous.

— I've been better, but I don't know if I'll last much longer — The taste of the giant's foot is still in my mouth.

— We have to find a way to escape, we can't go on like this. I was spared today, but what's to say she won't kill me tomorrow? — Veronica looks desperate. Of course, we're being tortured by a being much greater than us.

— It's possible, but I don't think we'll be able to get out of this glass jar. But for now, I'm going to rest, I'm sorry, but I can't think straight — Using my shirt as a pillow, I lay down on the floor and started to take a nap.

###

The next day...

TOOM! TOOM! TOOM!

I woke up to loud noises in the glass walls. When I opened my eyes, I saw Titan's face looking at us with a happy expression. 

— GOOD MORNING, MY LITTLE ANIMALS! NOW I HAVE TO GO OUT TO GET SOME FOOD, BUT WHEN I GET BACK I'LL PLAY WITH YOU, OK? DON'T WORRY, I'LL LEAVE FOOD FOR YOU — The Titan threw breadcrumbs and poured a few drops of water into the container, which for us is liters and liters. And then she left.

Veronica and I ate, after all we were very hungry. We talked about how we could escape, but we couldn't come up with any plan that seemed decent. The glass prison is boring, we're only one day into Titan's kidnapping and we're already in this state, I wonder how much longer we'll last. If I wasn't mentally strong, I would have collapsed a long time ago.

To kill time, I started talking to Veronica about our personal lives. I didn't tell her I was from another world, because I was afraid she'd think I was crazy or something. The conversation was flowing until...

TOC! TOC!

Someone knocked on the door. We heard a voice on the other side, but it was too far away to hear anything, and the fact that we were locked in a glass container didn't help much, but from the tone of voice I could tell it was probably a woman.

TOC! TOC! TOC!

Whoever is on the other end is being very insistent. After a long time of waiting, the person on the other side got tired of waiting and opened the door. Evidently, it's another Titan, although she's a teenager and I can tell by her height and physiognomy.

— AURA! WHAT? SHE'S NOT HERE? HEHE, THEN I THINK SHE WON'T CARE IF I TAKE "THAT" ON LOAN — The young Titan began to search the house. 

Looking at every room in the house, it didn't take her long to find the glass jar we're in: — WHAT IS IT? — The young titan began to examine the container.

— THOSE ARE... HUMANS!? —  For some reason, she seemed surprised, I felt like a zoo animal, only in a miniature version —  THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN THIS. AMAZING! THEY'RE AS SMALL AS THEY SAY, HIHI. I DON'T THINK AURA WILL MIND IF I BORROW THEM.

And so, we have a new titan owner...

Chapter 9 - World of Humans


The colossal woman bends down until her face is level with me. She looks at me with an expression of indifference and curiosity. My body screams at me to run as fast as I can, yet my brain knows that this attempt would be futile, with all this reach she would easily catch me.

- YOU ARE THE MOST INCREDIBLE HUMAN I HAVE EVER SEEN, NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY THE TITANS HAVE KEEPED YOU ALIVE - Her voice caused very strong gusts of wind, making me drag my feet on the ground. If it hadn't been for the reinforcement I received, I would certainly have flown away like a leaf in a hurricane.

- T-Thank you, I think.

- Come on - The colossal woman swiped her finger on the table, running towards me, helplessly, I just waited for the finger to run over me.

URGH!

I ended up sticking to her digit, trapped by the sweat on her skin. 

- You said you wanted to go home, didn't you? I'll show you the way - The colossal woman opened her cavernous mouth and sucked her finger where I was.

I struggled to stay alive in her ocean of saliva, when she...

GLUP!

Swallowed me. 

===

BIP! BIP! BIP!

Sounds of medical equipment beeped in my ears. My dark vision cleared up. When I opened my eyes, I felt a sensitivity to light, as they hadn't yet adjusted to the environment.

- HUH? You're finally awake, young man," said an old man wearing a lab coat. 

- Where am I? - My head hurts and I'm confused.

- You're in hospital. You were found unconscious on a nearby beach. What's more, you were unconscious for four weeks.

- I see - it was all just a dream, like all the others I've had.

- By the way, there are some agents who want to talk to you, right? - I nodded - Come in.

Two men in black came into my room and sat down next to my bed.

- Hello, Jonas. My name is Charles and this is my assistant, Wagner. Can I ask you a few questions? 

- I'm fine.

- You've been missing for over a year, do you remember where you've been? - I was confused

- A year?! 

BOOM!

A violent tremor shook the hospital's fragile structures with overwhelming force. The faint lights flickered frantically, while objects detached themselves from shelves and fell noisily to the floor. Wails and anguished cries echoed outside, creating an atmosphere of despair and chaos.

- It's an earthquake! 

BOOOOOM!

The next tremor was even more intense than the last. Charles pulled back the curtain to see what it was like outside. People were running and screaming as a huge shadow began to take over the city.

- What the hell is going on here?

- HELLO, HUMANS - said a colossal female voice, familiar to Jonas.

- Oh no.

END...?

Note from the Author: Dear Readers,

I hereby inform you that this is the end of World of Titans. I know it's not the ideal ending, I did it very lazily in fact, but I'm also going to start another project in the future, which will take place in the same universe, the difference is that now it won't be told from Jonas' point of view, or that of any character, the story will be told in third person. 

This project will be on hold for a while, I want to write other stories, perhaps shorter ones.
