Opening his eyes, Idris looked around. No, there was nobody around him who could he suspect then who talked to him earlier?'Can it be that a ghost was talking to me? Don't tell me that... ''I am not a ghost.' This time the voice spoke louder than before, it sounded a little annoyed as well.Idris looked around once again then patting his chest he took a deep breath. "Who are you if you are not a ghost?""I am mana." The voice spoke up."Mana?""Yes, I am mana." The voice echoed in his ears and he nodded his head a little annoyed. "Wait, I don't understand. I do know what is mana and all but how can you be... I mean... ""You are a true legend, everyone can only learn the skills but you have mastered it. That day when you were fighting with the demon, it's black mana mixed with your pure ones. Even though you got hurt so bad, you still wanted to save the woman. I was impressed by you, you are a true hero who never wants to get defeated and fights till his last breath. That's when I d
"The demon is here, he will kill us all." The painful shrieking voice echoed in the surroundings but none of the villagers showed any interest in saving the child. They were interested in saving themselves, everyone was running to any safe place they could find in the first sight.Standing in the middle of such a troubled scenerio, Idris tried stopping one or two but all in futile. 'It's so strange, a child is in trouble but none of them want to save him.'"Mr. It looks like a child is in trouble, please come wi..." The man whom Idris tried to ask help from pushed him away and ran to some direction.Frustrated and disappointed at people at the same time, Idris checked the surroundings for anything he could use as a weapon against the demon. Then he headed to the direction the voice came from."Save me! Save... "'The voice is coming from that direction.' As Idris ran towards a small hut, suddenly that angelic voice spoke near his ears, 'Don't go. Don't go any closer to that house.'"W
The wind started blowing strongly and the loose end of his shirt moved along with it when Idris tried his all to keep himself stand at the same spot firmly. Fenrir had a proud smile on his face as he uttered, "Here, we go.""Venir." Idris couldn't even attack him and he was pushed at a far distance. "Don't you want to fight me? Oh, come on! Don't just chicken out." Fenrir voiced so teasingly while a crystal like light circled around his fingers. With every minute passing by, he was getting stronger and it surprised Idris but even with things happening out of league, he was hell bent on defeating him. Idris turned against the strong wind and on his knees, he tried keeping himself together. The last attack from Fenrir was dangerous enough to shake him even though he tried his all to keep it look normal but he could feel the pain."Deja que el río fluya. Déjalo ver la lluvia." Idris voiced, with his eyes closed and filled with determination.Fenrir twisted his neck and a rotten like sm
"You have fought enough, die now! Brat." Idris couldn't make a move as his attack got to him faster. Fenrir's one hand extended and it wrapped Idris tightly. Idris could barely take a breath, while trying his all to get away from his grip.Slowly he found himself rising high towards the sky while Fenrir laughed loudly. The demonic chants of Fenrir made him feel vomitting, that rotten smile coming from his body was intolerable and far more, thorns were slowly coming out of Fenrir's hand that had Idris wrapped in."Arghhh!" The thorns started piercing his skin and he screamed in pain. With every thron hitting through his skin, blood oozed out of him. Fenrir laughed loudly and voiced proudly, "Don't try to hold on, kid. This way, you won't feel pain for long. Let your soul leave your body."'I can't feel my mana at all, Fenrir's power must have something to do with it. But even if I am trying, I can't just... Arghhh!!!' Another thorn pierced through his skin and he felt like he would f
"Look, his eyelids are moving. Yes, even his lips slightly moved, I just saw his fingers moving. Is he getting back to his senses? Uhmm, probably?"The low whispering tone of voice that kept speaking in his head slowly became distant as Idris slightly moved on the bed. He casually opened his eyes and Mika's face came to his view."You... " Surprised to see her in front of his eyes the moment he opened his eyes, Idris patted his chest. "After you fainted, I've took you here." Mika explained, touching her hand against his forehead to check if his body temperature was high. "Now, you should be fine. Your fever has gone down.""Fever? I had fever?""Yes, for two days you were senseless because of fever." "Two days? Oh my!""Don't worry, you are fine now."Idris heaved a sigh, he got really worried but not for being sick for two days, the thoughts about missing from home worried him. He settled his back against the bed and asserted, "Thanks for taking care of me, Mika.""Welcome."Idris
[Level: 5/49][Exp: 306/670][Occupation: None][Title: Novice mage][Mission: Learn swordmanship]Checking through his status, Idris let out sigh of sadness. As he was senseless and busy he forgot to check what mission did he get this time. "My Lord, you called me." As Reiki appeared behind him, Idris opened his eyes. "Yes, I want to practice one on one with you. Is that ok for you?" Reiki gulped and looked at his hand, his lit up face now looked a lot sadder though he didn't say anything by his mouth. Seeing him act so weird, Idris questioned, "What's wrong? Don't you want to?""Uhmm, no. It's nothing like that." Reiki answered in a low voice."Fine, then let's get started."Reiki not so actively got on the position, but unlike in the past he didn't seem so enthusiastic. "1, 2, and 3. Get set go." As Idris attacked, Reiki was supposed to play along but surprisingly, Reiki fell on the ground and Idris had everything vanish into thin air.Seeing him struggling to breathe, as Idris
"Aaah!!!" One of the boys let out a blood-curdling scream as he was thrown at a close distance, the rest of the boys were lying on the ground here and there while crying in pain. Idris with a wide open mouth watched everything and he couldn't help but clap his hands.Thankfully, nobody saw him. What a wonderful fight it was! The old man tossed the stick on the road side then sparing a murderous gaze at them when he was walking away, the very boys who wanted to beat him made ways for him while still sobbing in pain. Some of them had their clothes torn, while some of them looked like they soaked in mud. They all were now crying for help and saying sorry that they should have never mess with the man. "Sir, please wait for me." Without wasting anymore time, Idris also followed after him. But tree by trees passed, the man never even looked at him as if he had no idea that he was being followed. After walking for a while Idris took a rest under a big tree and struggling to breathe, he c
"Aah-achooo! Achooo!" Another two days has passed faster than expected. Idris had been working day and night for the old man but so far, he didn't even invited him to come inside the house.Idris went home then came back to work in his house, the old man gave him food to eat but then again, he told him clearly that he wouldn't teach Idris anything.Seeing the old man coming out of the house, Idris ran to him. "Sir, see I've cleaned the yard very nearly. Now, will you teach me swordmanship?"The old man scanned the yard then crossing his hands over his chest he asserted proudly, "Swordmanship? Huh! I will never teach you swordmanship."With that as he was walking away, suddenly Idris sat on the ground while letting go of the broom in his hand and the old man stopped on his way."I am not a spoiled brat, I have my mother and a sister. I was born weak and ugly, everyone likes to bully me and hurt me as if I'm not a human being so I want to learn swordmanship. Why can't I want to learn th
