“Woi!!! Sejii! Wake up. Let’s make dinner. Sun is almost setting.” He shouts in my ear.

“Huh?! Fine, fine I’m waking up.” I said. I stood up and went to bathroom. Meanwhile Alec was cutting vegetables in the room.

Right at that moment someone knocks at door.

“Coming" alec said.

Knocking gets furious.

“Jeez he’s coming. Knock one more time and I’ll knock you out” I shouted while in bathroom.

Alec was just cleaning his hands with cloth that they break door.

Some bald dude comes in and picks Alec from his shirt.

“you got a nerve not to open door when we are here. For this you will get punishment. But I can overlook what you said and for not opening door, if you double up the money this time.” The bald guy said to Alec.

Alec closed his eyes and said “I don’t have extra money. I can’t double but I can give more this time". Alec replied with a pale face with eyes closed.

I come out of bathroom and see this and

I say with a little anger and confusion “Who are you guys? And let Alec go.”

“So you have a new brat here too kid? Should we double the money even more?” bald guy said to Alec.

“he’s leaving tommorow. You don’t need to double the money"

“Alec! Who are these guys?” I ask Alec.

“the-" alec was going to speak but bald guy said “The name is Orip. And I’m here to collect money from Alec. Since we don’t tell anyone about him living here to anyone. We deserve some money for that don’t you think so? Since he’s a devil, we are doing a favour" bald guy said with a smile.

“YEAHH! WE ARE DOING A DEMON LIKE HIM A FAVOUR!” baldy's side kicks shout.

“From my knowledge of this world, the war ended and each faction could live peacefully. That means you guys are nothing but some thugs. That’s understandable. But, Alec, Why are you holding back?” I said.

“Boss, Shall we tell him who we are truly?” his sidekicks again speak while pointing at me.

“NO! I said I’ll pay you okay? No need to do harm to seji" Alec looked terrified.

“well it’s way too late now, kid. Go you guys get him" Orip said to his sidekicks

“Listen Bald guy. I couldn’t care less who you are. But if you lay a finger at me or Alec, I’ll shove asome fire up in your ass"

His sidekicks come towards me.

“Run! Seji now"

“they need to pay back. For how long have they been taking up your money? And for how long have you been paying them like idiots?” I said in anger.

“But seji. They are stronger than you. And if they catch you.. just run, I don’t want you to go through Torture too..”

They are coming towards me.

like Alec said before , we could use mana as we like. That means I just have to put my visualization to practical. I imagine a skill which I saw in an anime.

Meanwhile those side kicks use their magic.

“Water Pool!!”

“Thunder!”

Left wall have a big hole.

“Tch! Instead of single person combing two elements, two different persons combine to make it strong. Have to say, you thugs are smarter than usual.”

“You haven’t seen anything yet kid"

“Seji run. I am telling don't get caught by these guys”

“noted!”

I back off. I run to outside to lure them out in open. I barely dodged their combined attack before.

So I again imagine the Magic I saw in anime.

“Water pool! Thunder!” they again enchant. And this time it’s even bigger one.

“BLACK HOLE” I shout and a big black circle comes up which sucks up magic spells and converts to mana.

“Demonic vacuum!?!? Seji where did you learnt that?! I didn’t taught you? Did I?” Alec says to me in shock.

“I’ll tell you later. Just watch for now.”

“Hmmn. That kid is impressive. I shall take care of him myself.” Orip says that and throws Alec away and comes towards me outside.

Alec get hit into wall hard. His arm looks injured.

“Tch. Alec! Uh. I don’t mind taking a baldy altogether with these jokers. So come in too, onion"

“Its not onion its orip"

“Seji. Stop making jokes. Run. There’s still time. They can steal your Mana...”

“I see. And I’m guessing they stole from you too.”

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

“watch out baldy. He *cough cough* have that small red bottle which can stole mana.”

“Go rest. Leave this to me. I’ll make them pay.”

Seji enchants “demonic heal” in a slow tone.

“Alright now then. Shall we continue burip?”

“Its orip! And it doesn’t matter once i catch you, I’ll make sure you don’t mess anyone's name. Whether it’s on purpose or by mistake. You will regret it. And now TOMBSTONE!” Orip gets on his knees and puts his hand on ground. The ground starts shaking. Rocks come out and form an empty container behind me.

Just like the name said. He’s forming a grave for me. But still cowards like them wont be done by that. They must be preparing for a complete combined skill.

Think seji think.

I could use dark spear. Just like it had in game.

“Grave washer!, Lightning seal!”

I see a small tsunami coming towards me. Like 3 or 4 feet. It actually makes me laugh. But still if that lightning rope catches me it still could be troublesome. I again dodge that by jumping on the rock.

“BLACK HOLE!” it sucks up his tsunami and lightning rope.

I could use dark spears to emerge from ground going upward all sharp. I don't know how much mana that will cost but it’s worth a shot.

“DARK SPEAR! Be pierced now" I enchant and long dark spears with darkness over flowing from them without a proper spear. Just looks like a sharp stick. But they emerge beneath their feats. Breaking the container he made for me . I make sure those spears don’t pierce through them directly instead I make some spears having them scratched.

“listen. The spears which went up could also come down, if you don’t give up now and apologize properly. " I raise my hand “choice is yours.”

Dark spear didn’t took much mana than I expected.

“We admit defeat.” Orip was on his knees begging for forgiveness. “You guys come here fast if you don’t want to die. Right now!”

“yes! We are extremely sorry. We wont ever bug anyone again!”

I jump off the rock.

“You are free to do it though. But make sure, if I ever heard anything like that. I’ll kill you. But other than that, I have a thing to ask. give me info for sparing your lives and return Alec's mana” I said to them with a killer look to scare them.

“We will give you information about anything but I don’t think we can return his mana.”

“why not?”

“Myst took it all.”

“Who’s Myst?” he’s our boss. Meanwhile, Alec wakes up and sees this mess.

“What’s going on here!?!?” Alec says in shock.

“Nothing. Like I said I’ll beat them. Done beating them, now getting info out of them.”

“You are saying like it’s way too casual. They might have died!!” Alec said

“Its fine. I won’t kill until I get info from them. And If they do anything, they know how scary it will be. Isn’t that right baldy?” I said.

“Ye-s..Sir.” they all said while on their knees bowing down.

“I don’t know what you did with them but why are they still here?”

“I need to get info from them. Thugs like these have bigger bosses, who make people like these work. So it’s not their fault.”

“Oh my, sir what is your holy name.. forgive us for even trying to hurt your kind soul.” They start crying and climb at my feet.

“My name is Seji. Sejiyoi. And leave my feet or I’ll kill you" I said again with a killer face.

*in orip's mind:

“the truth is I begged myst to take me under his gang but he didn’t instead he had us for these small tasks. But sir seji seems as powerful as Myst. I should change parties now”, story continues*

“I should tell you if it’s about mana attribute it’s fine. They stole a little bit of my dark when I was new here. But time replenishes mana attribute to it’s old condition. I have already more dark magic than before.”

“Ahh I see. Well one task finished. But still I need to see that these people's master.”

“Yes sir we will take you to him. Anytime you want!”

“Hmmn. I have a plan but if you defy me. Know that I will kill you.”

“Y-yyyyes si-iiir..”

“What’s your plan?” Alec asks.

“Come near, everyone”

*Whisper whisper whisper*
