Day 3 : "From the blood comes resolve" , know that I will live no matter what :
When I open my eyes the next morning, I see the sun going up already through the window. I notice that I’m alone in the bed, who is a mess by the way,she’s probably been up already. Last night was, well, epic ! And I did great, atleast I think. Not the first time as you can guess after two year, it was almost a preshot …. But after that thing went smoothly, literally ! 20 gold was definitely a cheap price .
Ok, inoff with my sexlife, Times to get up, and I can see that my breakfast await me already ! Eggs, Nice ! I get up and put my clothes on, eat the meal and leave my room. I say my thanks to the owner and the beauty before taking my leave. I’m heading to the grocery store to buy supply for my journey. Some bread, a lot of dry meat, some ropes, a lighter, I don’t know any fire magic some it would came handy in the wild ! I don’t buy basic tools as my void skill can cut and dig into almost anything, so clad !
I'm heading toward the south gate to take my leave when I notice the merchant from yesterday waving at me from a back alley. He make sign for me to come and join him so I did.
“Hello Sir !”
“Shhhhh ! Not so loud and definitely not her, we never know who might be listening, come with me to the back of my store please “
“Eh ? Sorry ? ….. ah , ok I’m coming.” So I follow him to the back alley and listen to what he has to say.
“I’m sorry for yesterday sir, I was wrong”
“Huh ? About what ?”
“The ring sir ! Last night I ask to a friend of mine and he told me that there is a way to fix a broken artefact, but an artefact is extremly valuable so we have to be wary of bad intended people “
“ Ah ok, but if it can be repair that really good, then HuH !! Arrrrrgggg !!”
And like that, just in the corner of the street I feel a immense pain, the next thing I see is the man in front of me and his sword in my belly.
“Arrrg … Wh… ?”
“Drop the ring and all you’ve got lad, if you do I will give you a painless death, maybe”
Twisting his blade in my wound as he says that, Tremendous amount of pain flow in my body, saturing all my nerve and making my mind going blank. Then all my memories appear at me, the shitty life, the shitty death, the steel bar in my back, the new life, the last chance. Next it’s an immense, inexplicable and infinite rage that submerge my body, swallowing the pain and making me act.
“No …. Not the time “ and grabbing his neck with my left hand I say
[amsugno]
All the knowledge, skills and all the battle experience of this man flow into my mind, I do not feel pain, only rage, But I notice that the man experience an intense pain as I copy his power, good. I take this opportunity and cut the arm that hold the sword with my void, and pushing back this man I beheaded him without any hesitation.
Behind his falling headless corpse I notice the merchant’s face, who was smiling minutes ago, growing paler as the two accomplices draw their swords and approach me. I throw the arm of the dead one and take off the blade from my stomach and then with just a impulse of fast running I disappear and reappear in front of one bandit, before he could react I stab him in the chest and the throat. While absorbing him I notice the last one approach me in my back, too late for him, his already going down with a hole where his heart should be, I’m catching up his dead body, absorb him before dropping him down. The pain don’t even bother me right now as I can’t feel a thing. Finally I turn my gaze toward the merchant, as he try to run I cut his leg and head in a moment and take all his knowledge as well. I survived ....
but as I think that, the pain goes back at me and I fall on my knees, the red in the corner of my eyes disappear and the horror of what I just did struck me ! I throw up.
*Damn it ! What did I just do !? I kill them all, just like that …. I’m a monster ….. no. They were about to kill me too, it was just legit defence … This is the nature of this world, I’m just adapting to it … Yeah it has to be like that, this is my only chance, I need to live ! I will not becoming a monster but I will respond with strength ! No matter what !*
As I organize my though I start to feel dizzy, I am wounded after all, and I will die if I don’t something so I reach my new knowledge and find what to do.
“Oh mighty being who watch over all the creation, please grant to this tiny existence your blessing : [Minor Heal]”
I can feel the mana in my body being condense on my wound, and it start to close but one minor heal is not inoff so I repeat the process a couple of time until it's completely closed. As I regain my composure I realize that I need to leave this place ASAP !
So I regroup all the body , search them and find 300 gold on each bandit, probably the prize of my death and the merchant had a enchant pouch with 50 gold in it, It has a size enchant on it so you can store as much money as you want, quite handful, thank you very much sir. When I finished I void them, no body no crime …. almost. I am now very gladful that my cloth are all dark, thank to that the blood is not too obvious. It is time for me to check my status and skills.

Yeah, I got a massive increase of power, and some of my skill evolved. It ‘s particularly interesting to see that fast running and lightning step are now part of a group like my void skills. But I understand now, the nature of this world, and I am far too weak, I need to train if I want to be able to survive. But first I need to get out of here, I want to be long gone when they will find out that people are missing so it’s time to use one of my new skill, [Lightning step]. So, as I walk through the north gate and before the guards notice me, I active it with one step at full power I’m already 50m away. To use this skill I kick the ground to start, but I don’t jump, it’s more like I slide on the air 50 cm away from the floor, and what surprising is that despite my speed my mind can follow and my eyes and brain can process all the informations. With control over my strength I can land exactly where I want, that cool ! And so just like that, after 20 steps , so five 5 second later I am 2km away from the village, Bye foxes !
I stop using the skill because it’s quite straining on my body so I switch to fast running and after two hours, I’m finally at the edge of a forest , I decided that I will leave the road and stay in the forest for an undetermined amount of time for training ! I don’t know how it will be inside but I will stay there for a while before searching the road again. And like that, I sink into the forest, after 4 hours of running between the trees, which it’s not easy by the way I find a place who seems perfect to build a camp. It has a small clear area, with Big rocks next to it and even a water source, it was place there for me , it’s perfect !
I put down my stuff and take out some dry meat, running non stop like that got me quite hungry, even if with my increased vitality I could run a lot longer it was still tiring. After eating I start creating my shelter, I dig into the big rock with my void and create an entrance and a room, I pierce a few small tube to let in the light and create and fireplace. Next I go outside and cut some wood, the void blade is quite handy. I take some piece of wood and with the rope I make and door, I leave the rest for fire. I may not be a carpenter but still i’m not bad with my hands. It's look pretty much like that :
http%3a%2f%2fimg15.hostingpics.net%2fpics%2f539784thedoor.jpg [http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/539784thedoor.jpg]
And just has I finished the sun settle down so I took all my stuff inside, closed the door, put some wood and start a fire.
“ You, the ever changing being that create and destroy, lend me the strength of your flamme : [Fireball]”
As I say those world, a sphere of fire appear in my hand and flew straight at the fireplace, starting it.
*Oh ! That’s sweeeet !*
Knowing something and experiencing it are quite different, so even if I had the knowledge, feeling it was very cool. It’s true, magic is very cool after all. But what’s bothering me is that unlike my void magic, for the other I need to chant to use them. I know that it exist a skill name [Mana Manipulation] allowing chantless magic and better freedom over the spells. But I remember the book saying that it was rare and difficult to achieve. So I have to train, or find someone who possess the skill , he he he ! I will also need to train my body, strengthen it along with all my other skills. But I’m in no rush now so I will take the time I need.
To be continued
