“No problem sir this is my duty after all. It is my dream to own an extermination squad so it is important to sense danger and move accordingly and it will also save my squad members.” He said with pride and confidence
“Yes he was the coolest” one of the surviving kid said.
“Yes if he was not with us we would have been dead like Aln” another kid said
(Yeah and I also managed to get rid of that useless Aln who always gets in my way seriously his very existence annoys me everytime I decides to do something that guy always becomes the center of attention even though I am the one who puts the most effort in everything every task given but that guy every time he becomes the center of attention that introverted nerd. Nerds should just die)
“It’s a shame that aln died there in that invasion” Another teacher of the orphanage spoke
“he was that masterpiece that would probably never appear again for another century” he continued
Daneil’s eyes darkened the moment everyone praised aln
(why why why why whhhhhhhhhyyyy are you praising a dead person so much I am here I was the one who brought you all of you out from that death march so why) Daniel screamed in his mind as everyone once again started to praise aln.
“The world is so crule If he had escaped like us he would have became a great person”
(Why are you still praising him ? he had to die because if had lived long my dreams and pns would had become dust. )
Yes Daniel hated aln he thinks of him as a monster that is too dangerous to be left alive. the reason is Daniel had seen a glimpse of aln’s potential and he deemed that aln is the biggest threat to his rise in power as for why?
one day due to jealousy Daniel pced a trap to injure aln but he unconsciously resisted that trap and survived that accident that should’ve nearly killed him.
And from that day To Daniel, Aln is a ticking time bomb, a monster-in-making who will one day outshine everyone.
“I knew what you were long before you knew yourself. That’s why I had to get rid of you.”
On the other side.
“phew now that was close and since this side is clear and I am safe…. Probably.
But before I can think anything else I heard a notification bell in my head
“… huh what is this, am I having some kind of hallucinations or something I know that I am here left betrayed forced to fight some living wood that are hell bent on killing me and all but it doesn’t mean I went insane and start to hear things.”
“Raaahhh…” a voice indicating danger came from side snapping aln from his confusion.
Oops looks like another one is here or no many of them together
I saw that from the alleyway that a group of treants are coming together
this time it’s one two and three in total ok.
(I now knows the attack pattern of treants.)
(So to escape I should use use hit and run technique since I am not that powerful to face three treants alone without any proper weapon.)
I ran in opposite direction trying climbed on a broken house to gauge if these treants were like the previous suicidal one but fortunately none were like that but since these lesser treants cannot extend their branches he was safe….. for now at least.
“umm …what should I do now, now that the only sword I had is broken what can help me……..”
thud
Then my eyes nded on a half burned lumber that fall from a burning house seeing that
“ok this might work” I got an idea
I remembered what I once read in a book in academy library
Lesser treants are vulnerable to fire. Use fire to kill them
aln ran towards that burning house picking up the lumber. He turned around seeing Treants still following him as he wanted.
I then threw it on the group of three treants following him hoping that this would cause them to burn away
But life was never that easy. Lumber fall meters before hitting the target.
I missed the aim.
Due to the exhaustion from all that running I fell down on my butts
A Treant closed the distance then lunged at me with its sharp branches pointing at my chest clearly ready to pierce me
“grrr….grraah” treant growled
Branch that was as sharp as a spear reaching my chest
(Am I going to die like this? )I thought
(Without my revenge? )
(Without living like a normal man for at least once?)
As these thoughts were going on and on in my brain treant’s branch just a few inches away from piercing my chest and ending my second life which I got after dying pitfully in my previous life due to a birth illness)
