Chapter 8
----------------------------------------
When Drone finally rescued Adrian, it was already approaching dusk. He could also see tiny drops of rain falling. Hence he quickly took Adrian away from the nest of the monster.
After reaching a certain distance, Drone put down Adrian and started to create a makeshift tent to camp for night.
Before he could light a fire, the rain started to fall heavily. Hence both Adrian & Drone had to seek cover inside the tent immediately.
Adrian was still recovering from his near death experience. He knew death was so near, but he also remembered the feeling of groping the monster's breasts.
(...what an irony. A monster is more beautiful than these humans. Hopefully things would improve when we reach the city. I absolutely refuse to fuck a grade F pussy. It must be at least above grade C...)
Adrian was lost in his thoughts, when Drone hugged him from behind in his sleep. Both of them had to lay down closely to avoid being drenched.
Drone, having fought a tough battle, quickly ate some snack & had fallen asleep already.
Adrian, however, could not take this anymore.
(...this hard stuff touching my back, I don't even want to know what it is...)
Struggling heavily, Adrian finally freed himself from Drone's grasp.
(...I'd much rather accept that monster's embrace than this brute's...)
Sighing in annoyance, Adrian walked away from the tent as the rain started to drench him heavily. He squatted under a tree and closed his eyes. The cold rain drops soothed his mind & he fell asleep as the rain started to slow down.
Grimer too came out of the system space and gazed at Adrian in wonder.
Instead of hugging him today, Grimer chose to walk away today, deep into the muddy woods.
The Grimer disappeared from the venue, but the night was still long.
-----------------------------------------
The next morning, Drone woke up to find Adrian absent. He panicked, thinking the monster took away him.
He regretted sleeping so soon yesterday and admonished himself for failing in his duties.
He quickly grabbed his weapon and walked out, when he spotted Adrian sleeping under a tree nearby.
Drone sighed in relief. The Young Master was safe and sound for now.
Steeling his resolve to quickly get out from the forest, Drone quickly packed everything & carried the sleeping Adrian on his shoulders.
He then started to sprint in a memorized route, planning to quickly reach the next village.
The morning sun's rays cast a golden light on his heroic figure as he went away.
--------------------------------------------
Adrian felt a headache and heating sensation all over his body. He tried to open his eyes, when he realized that he was no longer in that forest, but in a room.
The ceiling looked unfamiliar, so he knew they were not back at the guild yet.
Last night's Session was absolutely pointless, since he tried to be cautious, but couldn't encounter anything.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
(...other people's system make them gods immediately, & mine is just trolling me with no end in sight. I demand to at least get 10 proper Session minutes!!...)
He felt that the restrictions on the system were way too harsh.
(...this 1st level sucks. I must upgrade quickly. Otherwise, that Grimer would keep haunting me forever!...)
But Adrian was never informed about how exactly he could earn the badges at all.
He decided to try monster hunting for now, hoping to quickly end this pathetic level.
Adrian also noticed that he didn't smell too awful today.
[Maybe that stupid Grimer learnt it's lesson. Good for me. But where exactly am I now.]
Adrian got up from the bed & gazed out from the window. He noticed it was afternoon right now, as the sun was positioned as such.
Looking at his neighborhood, he hoped he was in a tribal village & not in the city, otherwise he would be severely disappointed with this world.
-------------------------------------------
When Drone entered the room, Adrian tried to ask him about everything.
But Drone refused to answer.
[Young Master, you have caught a high fever. I have called a Doctor for your checkup and medications. Please rest for now.]
The Village Doctor behind Drone asked Adrian about his current symptoms & concocted a herbal medicine, which he was asked to consume 3 times a day.
The Doctor was then paid & escorted back by Drone, who came back later & forced Adrian to sleep silently on the bed.
Then he sat near Adrian's bed and spoke,
[Young Master, we are in a serious trouble.]
Looking at the ugly face being so serious, Adrian averted his eyes & stared at the ceiling as he replied,
[What trouble? Are they hating your looks too?]
Drone unhappily replied,
[No, it's not the time for jokes Young Master. I will explain everything to you in sequence, but don't panic. Your fever might become stronger instead.]
Adrian quieted down, hoping for this brute for starting the explanation soon.
With a very rigid face, Drone started explaining,
[Young Master. After I found you sleeping in the forest, I carried you out of the place & came here to this village, when your fever started to rise.]
[I enquired about a lodging, but there were several abandoned buildings there. So I brought you inside one of them. The villagers are staying at another side of this village.]
[The Doctor informed me about a lot of things.]
[This village was cursed by a young girl who committed suicide some days ago. It is said that she was told to become a concubine to a 59 year old Village Chief after she humiliated his son.]
[The girl refused initially, but her family members were tortured to death one by one, until she was the only one remaining.]
[The young girl burned herself to death as she cursed the Village Chief & this village to suffer from terrible fate.]
[Everyone took it all too lightly, until the family members of the Village Chief started to disappear each day & it is said that their screams could be heard echoing throughout the night.]
[On the 5th day, the Village Chief along with his remaining family left the village. It is not known what happened to him. But even stranger things started to happen in the village ever since.]
[At night, the door of each household started to be banged from outside along with crying & screaming noises, which lasted until daybreak.]
[The terrified villagers too tried to escape the village. But a group of hunters prevented anyone from leaving as they took the control of the village & relegated everyone as their slaves.]
[The terrified villagers escaped this part of the village, which was near to the Village Chief's residence. They were forced to give up their food and even women to these vile men. Such shameless behavior!!]
[I tried to scout the hunters, but they are numbered about 25 and are all armed. They patrol the village boundaries to make sure no one escapes.]
[Today, the Doctor's daughter is being called by those hunters & the Doctor thinks you are a noble travelling the countryside. He said he would rather send his daughter as a maid to you, rather than those hunters, who would break both her body & soul..]
Adrian jumped out of the bed & rushed straight towards Drone.
[Wait. You just said, he would give his daughter to me? As a maid?]
Replying timidly, Drone replied,
[Yes. Young Master.]
Adrian nodded twice to himself. Again he asked,
[Another question. This one is the most important. Is the Doctor's daughter beautiful?]
Trying hard to recall, Drone looked up at the ceiling as he replied,
[Ummm, I think she is somewhat beautiful, but I could only glance at her once.]
Adrian nodded again in satisfaction. He made an exaggerated pose as he proudly announced.
[Then it is decided! We must act tonight. We will rescue these villagers from those evil men. This would also prevent them from entering the forest. Also, for training purposes, it would be excellent!!]
Drone looked at Adrian in confusion, before shaking his head & replying,
[But, Young Master, how would we accomplish that?! They number too much! Besides, you are in no health to battle. Forget it, we shall try to escape this village.]
Adrian panicked as he grabbed Drone by his collars & spoke,
[NOO!! How could we, the great Crimson Thief Guild back down from these wussy hunters?! It would be a stain on our pride & reputation if we backed out from it! We must strive to make our guild the greatest ever!]
[Follow my instructions Drone. Tonight would be a slaughter fest!]
Imagining the days he would enjoy being serviced by his new personal maid, Adrian's dick throbbed in excitement as he smiled treacherously.
