-14 Wealthuth 2422 years of this world, 1 month has passed since Vency first woke up in the forest.
Not far outside the forest, there is a novice adventurous Party approaching the forest where Vency wakes up.
The party consisted of three people.
One male warrior with a sword, a female scout with bow and dagger, and finally, a female wizard. They are just an ordinary novice Party that can be found anywhere.
The warrior, as well as the only man on the party, prepared his sword when they finally reached the front of the forest.
"We're finally here. Be careful with the surroundings and stay behind me, you two." Staring around, The man gave instructions to his two partner.
"Yes, yes, all right. But, just leave the surroundings to me, okay?" Just behind the man, the scout, the girl with short chestnut hair with green eyes, gave such an answer when she prepared the bow on her back.
"I-I will also do my best!" Holding her wooden stick tightly with both hands, the witch, the long-braided white-haired girl declared her spirit in this first Quest of theirs.
"Well! Then - Buh?!"
"Huh?"
"Eh?!"
When the warrior was just about to step into the woods, his words were stopped by something thrown at high speed towards him, and made the man fall along with his two companions.
"O-ouch... W-what the...?!" The man was stunned when he realized what exactly had hit him. That is...
"... Are you okay?"
"H-head speaks?!" A severed head that can speak - Vency's head. Her neck was still dripping with thick dark red blood, it seemed that she had been cut off not long ago.
"H-hah?!"
"?!..." The two male's colleagues instantly lost their consciousness when they realized what the Man was currently holding.
-Ten minutes later, after a few screams full of fear and a long boring explanation.
"... So, you suddenly woke up inthe forest with your body has become a Zombie?"
"Yeah..." While lying on the ground, Vency(just head) answered a question from the novice party who was currently still on full alert on her.
"I see..." The warrior placed his right hand on his chin, trying to digest Vency's words.
"But, but! In that case, what caused you to be cut off like you are now?" The scout asked Vency that with her face full of curiosity, while the witch nods her head behind her, it seemed that she was also interested in the reason why Vency was able to be cut off.
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
"Ah, that matter..." Opening her lips, Vency was just about to answer the questions of the two of them.
However, "Wait! Something is approaching!!" The warrior suddenly raised his voice, pointing the tip of his sword towards the forest.
Because it was so sudden, the wizard and the scout were a little confused and too late to get ready like the warrior. And, perhaps because of this, the two of them were unaware of the coming attack from behind them.
"Ahk!!!!"
"Ukh!!!" With a loud bang, the witch and the scout bounced far enough towards Vency (just head) was. Perhaps because the blows they received were so hard, the two girls instantly lost their consciousness because of it.
"Wha-?! Diana! Bethy! Guh...!" Although a little surprised at first, the warrior was able to withstand attacks from the monster that had just flown his two companions.
"Ahk...!" Because of the huge power inside the monster's attack, even the warrior was a little overwhelmed by it.
Holding the wooden bat that the monster was holding with his sword, the warrior dripped cold sweat when he finally realized the true identity of the monster.
It was, "Grehehga!" An orc!
"Damn it!" The orc kept pushing the warrior back when he was surprised to learn about it.
Orcs, they are pig-faced 2-2.5 Meter-high humanoid monsters with threat level of D, not very strong except for their extremely amazing muscle strength.
However, for the warrior and his party who are just about to start their first Quest... Encountering an orc is tantamount to death.
"Gah!" Hit by another blow from the orc's giant wooden bat, the warrior bounced far enough back to hit one of the trees.
Judging from how hard the blow he received, Vency knew that some of the man's bones had been broken. The man's head also looked bloody. But...
"*Bloody cough!* *Bloody cough!* Asshole...!"
(Why? Why? Why are you...)
"Why... You can smile in this kind of hopeless state?!" For Vency, who had almost given up on her life because she had been betrayed by her childhood friend whom she loved for a long time, the man's struggles were absurd.
Why don't you give up and just accept your death?! There's nothing else you can do anymore!!! Even without Vency shouting it all at him, the Man could tell what Vency was currently telling him when he looked at Vency's face at the moment.
Smiling at Vency, The man raised his sword back, and said, "I... Having a dream that I want to realize with my friends. So, therefore.... Of course, I shouldn't be die in this kind of place, right?!"
Stepping his feet forward, the man began to run at his full speed towards the orc.
The man's body glowed with red, he had activated the basic Skill of the Job Warrior, [Wild Instinct]. It is a skill that can temporarily strengthen the user's physical strength, along with the ability to understand almost anything that is happening around him.
With the Skill on, The man began to run close to the orc.
Shocked by the change from the man, the orc became unsuccessful in response to the attack from the man.
*Slice!*
With a clean slash, the man managed to cut off the orc's left hand with just one attack.
But of course, he wasn't done just getting there. Stepping on his right foot forward to reorganize his posture, the man intends to directly cut off the orc's waist at that moment.
"Hhhhaaaaaaa!!!"
The attack was connected, and the man almost succeeded in cutting off the thick waist of the orc.
However, "*Bloody cough!!!* AHK!!!" Another punch came, and hit right into the man's face, making his body bounce 10 meters away.
"Wh-what the..." Perhaps because of luck or because his body is indeed strong enough as a warrior, the man can still maintain his consciousness even though his current body has been in a terrible state and cannot even be moved anymore.
Opening his eyes, the man saw a... Despair.
There is a new orc beside the orc who has just been killed by him. In addition, there are still dozens of other orcs who have just come out of the forest.
The effect of his [Wild instinct] Skill has been exhausted, his body has reached its limit, and his weapon is even stuck in the orc's body. There was nothing else the man could do anymore.
(Is it just here...?)
However, "Eh?" The man felt that he might have hallucinations at the time. Perhaps because he was already on the verge of his death, he saw an impossible sight where Vency was standing, with her complete body.
