“Ahh! My body, it hurts everywhere.” Sam spoke while he went towards the hut.

It was evening and Xu had gone to hunt animals for food. It has been two weeks since they lived together but Sam hasn’t been able to see his face. It is always covered by a white mask, although Sam can’t see his face, he can tell by the voice that Xu is middle aged man. Although Sam is training with Xu he is still cautious and watches every move of Xu. Today’s training was very severe, Sam had to stand and take the beating from the stick. Except the face and other vital parts he was beaten all over the body. There were blue marks in every part of the body, Sam even began to doubt if Xu had a fetish because although he couldn’t see the face he thought that Xu was smiling.

“Lilly, how can this be considered training? I tell you this is a torture. ” Sam asked while massaging his feet.

Earlier Lilly had told him that this training is very effective for Sam and he will gain benefits.

Master, let me explain it to you. Increasing points will improve your stats but training this way will also increase your stats.

Sam said, “That means some of my stats have increased.”

Yes, Master.

Sam checked his stats.

HP: 440/440

Vit: Increases 6 HP per second

Sam thought a while and asked, “Lilly was my previous task incomplete?”

Yes. You were not able to complete it.

“Looks like I didn’t extract much of a revenge.” Sam smiled.

Master you were too easy on him. You should never go easy on your enemies.

Sam said, “I know.”

Sam was a normal boy until he got the system, so how could he just turn vicious, but after getting stabbed in the heart he had a change in his thinking. Now he is not human and to survive in this side of the world he has to be ruthless. In this side it is survival of the strongest. Sam sat on the floor and started meditating, he really liked the feeling. It is like entering a new world, there is no anger, sadness or any other emotions. It is like becoming a wind and flowing in every corner of the world. After sometime he felt someone nearing him so he stopped meditating and stood up. He knew it was Xu because no one would come near this place not even animals, it was like a place surrounded by barriers. After meditating Sam felt the pain become less so he also walked towards the door.

“Oh! Looks like you are able to walk even after the beating. Your body really is mysterious.” Xu spoke while entering inside.

Xu had few rabbits in his hand; he sat down and put the rabbits in the table. Sam went and started to prepare the dinner. It was Sam’s job to prepare dinner, once Xu was late so Sam hunted a few rabbits and prepared it, he also kept some for Xu but after eating Sam’s food he said that he won’t cook anymore and it became Sam’s job. After preparing the dinner Sam and Xu sat down and began to eat.

Xu spoke while chewing, “I thought to let you rest tomorrow but after seeing your condition I have changed my mind. Tomorrow you will learn to fight.”

Sam hurriedly swallowed the food and replied. “Teacher will you teach me an ancient martial arts like those in animes.”

Sam was really excited. Although Sam was cautious he was slowly starting to form a bond with Xu so he sometimes let his guard down.

“HAHAHAHAHA!!!!” Xu laughed very loudly.

Sam was surprised by the laugh and he nearly choked himself. He was surprised because it was his first time hearing Xu laugh.

“Teacher, why are you laughing?” Sam asked curiously.

Xu spoke seriously, “Do you really think that by learning a martial arts you will be invincible? If you have such thoughts then throw it out of your head. I will not be teaching you how to fight, you will learn yourself.”

Sam thought that Xu would teach him some moves but when he heard that he will learn himself he was worried so he asked quickly, “How will I learn to fight?’

Xu calmly replied, “Through experience. Only with experience you will be a true fighter. So tomorrow you will have a battle. Be prepared the enemy will not show mercy and neither will you.”

After saying that Xu went outside, Sam did the cleaning and sat on the floor and started meditating.

 Sam’s house.

Elena was sitting at the balcony and looking towards the moon. It had been two weeks since she woke up. When she had woken up her son wasn’t beside her but there was a beautiful girl. When she asked about her, the girl said that she was Sam’s friend, but when she asked about Sam she couldn’t reply. The next day a middle aged man arrived who called himself Kira, he said that her son had gone on a business trip and will return after few months. She didn’t believe him a bit because Sam would never leave her when she was ill. When she tried to leave the house she was stopped at the door by the security. When she asked the reason they just said that it was dangerous.

“Son, I know these people are telling lies, I just hope that you are okay and come meet me as soon as you can.” Elena whispered while shedding tears.
