Tales Of Remnant

In the supposed place of the roar, there was only one thing, a ball of dust. But he radiated an aura of calm, which was quite nice. And before the smoke had cleared, I moved towards him, already holding my usual sword at the ready.

My trip to the right place did not last very long. When I got close, I was able to see a gigantic sword. He just stuck in the ground. But majestically towering up. In my opinion, it was about 250-300 centimeters long, and about 20-30 cm wide. Strange symbols were visible all over the sword. Having examined them better, I understood only one thing, these symbols were in different languages ​​and nationalities of my world. Because it had Celtic, Arabic, Scandinavian, and English Letters on it. Moreover, they were made so small that they created the illusion of a flame.

This sword was mesmerizing, as was its aura. She was bright blue. I didn't even notice the moment I touched him. The sword itself was very pleasantly warm, but not cold either. Interesting ... And if you take it by the handle, will it change its size?

I didn't have time to think about this idea. As I heard a new roar. But he walked no longer in front, but behind me. And I automatically turned around, holding the sword at the ready.

My feelings did not disappoint me. In my direction ran, a huge clot of blue. Although not running, but rushing at an unrealistic speed. And in less than a couple of seconds, he was already next to me. But I couldn't even move. Since my eyes were fixed on the lightning creature.

Near me stood a big wolf, white. His blue eyes looked straight at me, from top to bottom, assessing. But something else caught my attention. Namely, the presence of this individual, silver earrings in his ears, and a collar with long chains that go straight to his front paws. Remotely resembling chains ready or rockers.

 You know, it's not polite to stare at the interlocutor, while touching his property, without even asking permission. “The giant wolf told me, but only after his words, I was able to realize one fact that I put the sword in my left hand and still touched this huge sword with my right hand…”

So it is his property.

“Excuse me…” I said, sharply withdrawing my hand from the sword. At my action, he only smiled, showing his sharp, snow-white fangs. Rows of fangs.

-Well done. Now I see that the manners are still there. The fact that you are not dumb is clear, and in your mind ... kind of.

-What do you have in mind? Mr...

My name is Kai, I'm Skorm's brother. And the one who killed you. For which I apologize. - Said Kai, while lowering his muzzle, closer to the level of my head.

So you are his brother. Nice to meet you. What will you apologize for?

-How? After all, I killed you, and I just forgot in the void. I practically signed your death warrant, leaving you in the abyss. When I had to send to another world. And left you for my brother's amusement.

- Are you talking about Skorma? In my opinion, he did nothing wrong to me. I am even grateful to him, this world is interesting and you will not get bored here - I said this thought, while considering Kai.

Surprise was read on his face ... muzzle. Apparently he didn't expect this. Well, okay.

- You're pretty good at talking. But as far as I know, you are not completely happy in this world.

-What do you have in mind?

-I'm talking about your lifestyle and vision of the fight. Or rather, that you don't have them. You talk like you don't care about everything and you're ready to drop anyone to move forward. And you fight relying only on luck and chance. Although he could do otherwise. Kai said. At the same time, he looked not with the same look that he had at the beginning. And more serious. One might even say worse.

-But I'm trying. After all, I used the system for training, and tried to find the weaknesses of the enemy. – I said, while feeling everything, down to the beating of my heart and breathing.

-Yes. This is true. But this world is not your game darling. Although there are situations in which even a trained hunter can not cope. But those situations that I considered watching you made me wince.

-What are these? I asked out of my impatience. I'm just wondering how I could do it, and where did I mess it up?

- Well, first of all, when you met the Banshee, you decided to attack right away, instead of looking around the area. Then you would have found his friend and would not have received injuries. Secondly, after killing the Banshee, you relaxed, although your senses told you that danger was close. But you didn't listen to them. Which is why he almost died. You do realize that if the Banshee had turned its claws a little more to the right. You would be dead. Thirdly. When you got to the village, you tried to open the door with your hand, even though you could climb up the broken part of the wall. But even when the door fell down, you just walked in like an idiot. Although he could, just jump away from the door to a safe distance, and get a better view of the area, through the passage from the door.Fourth. When you fought the Centipede, you let it slip underground and didn't even consider the fact that it might crawl out under you. But even when she crawled out. You didn't jump away from her. And he just let himself be wounded in the leg, and dragged along behind him, as if you were a doormat. And when you used the Angel Fall ability, you could hit an open area away from her front, avoiding being hurt in the side and arm.

But I killed her! I shouted. I could not stand his criticism.

- I haven't finished yet!! Kai growled, after which, I just fell silent.

-That's better. Well, what am I talking about? Ahh yes! When she flew with her front part to meet you, you can change the trajectory and hit the second vulnerable zone, or simply dodge. And then, if you had used your sword as a shield, you would not have been blown away by her death blow, and you would not have received broken bones and a cut wound on your right hand. Got something to say? Kai asked, while looking at me with a questioning look.

- I... I have nothing to say. You're right. You are right, in all situations I acted relying on instinct and chance.

- Don't worry, man. There were also positive moments. For example, you spotted the weak spot on the Grimm's tail in time and hit it. And also, I was able to examine and find the weak point of the Scolopendra in flight. And that tells me a lot. - Said Kai, at these words, I did not feel sarcasm or insult. He praised me.

- Well then, why am I here? - I decided to clarify, apparently God needs something from me.

- I'm only here for one reason. I decided to help you. Think of it as "Compensation" for the fact that I killed you. I will teach you to fight without relying on the system, teach you to use your abilities to the fullest. I will make you a real warrior, soldier.

And now it's my time to freak out. God himself came down to me. Just to help me. It's quite nice, and just wonderful!! Now I can learn how to fight properly. Just one question?

-Can I ask you? How will we train? I'm a man, and you are God like a wolf. – I said, waiting for his answer.

-Do not be afraid. Although I am a god, I don’t think to fight at full strength. For now. And then. Why did you decide that even though I'm a wolf, I can't fight?

But I did not have time to answer his words. Since he abruptly jumped up, jumping over my back.

Turning around, I saw how he moved his sword with his paw. And in the next moment, grabbed him with his mouth. Unfolding it in different trajectories, but with a relatively blade in my direction. And then, just pulled out his tip from the ground.

Not even a minute passed. How he stood aside, while turning the sword more comfortably in his mouth.

I freaked out about this situation. But here's the system, decided to finish me off even more.

Are you supposed to be joking?! World, are you serious?! I had to catch up. I had to understand how it would turn out for me!

While I was thinking, Kai decided to act first. He just jumped towards me.

I, on the other hand, just freaked out. And that was the last thing I saw. Before he ripped my head off.

Uhhh… So it was a dream. I thought. Scratching his head.

-Are you already awake? And you're pretty fast. I thought you were going to be like this for a couple more hours. And you did it right in 20 minutes. Kai said.

I looked in his direction, and fell into a stupor. After all, next to me there really was a huge wolf with a sword exactly the same size. And there was a pool of blood near him... It was the place where I died from his sword, with which he tore me to pieces.

- I forgot to tell you, this place is in the void. You can't die here until I let you. After death, you will wake up in this place, while all your wounds, fatigue and fractures will be felt. You will feel them completely. Well... and after death, you will be reborn safe and sound, and full of energy. Kai explained to me. Cheerful voice and a little drinking words.

And from his words, I went nuts. This means that he will train me in this way, the way of " Dark Souls". How did the players say? "Learn while dying and dying again."

-As I understand it, you are a fan of RPG games with hardcore elements? I asked jokingly, but Kai simply nodded at this question. and merrily breathing like a real dog. Sticking out your tongue. -And how long will it take? – I asked, while feeling my ass in trouble.

You see, in this world time goes differently. One year here is equal to one minute in reality. So, at the end of training, a lot of time will pass. And also your assignment, it was changed by me.

-What do you mean? I asked, sensing a trick.

- What I mean is that you will not leave Lur Village for the next three months. You will live in it until you get used to it. Until you learn the basic skills and raise your stats. Of course, up to a certain level. Kai said with a calm tone. And tilted his face to the side.

I was stunned by this news. Does this mean that I will have to live in that ruined village for the next three months? And I'm going to be bullied by him, under the pretext of training? Is he serious?! Although... judging by his actions and words, he is not joking.

- And also, every night, you will wake up here. Where you will learn and use skills in the right way. Until three months have passed in the real world. But also. Any skills and RP gained here will carry over to the real world. But your level will not increase. Since you will only get AP points and basic knowledge of Abilities and aspects of the system. Now it is clear? Kai asked me, while making a questioning expression with his muzzle.

I just nodded at his words. Trying to hold back my psychotic laughter as my future situation is going to be a lot of fun. In quotation marks.

But keeping silent, I stood up, holding my sword tightly. Looks like I'm in for a fun lesson.

Let's go!!! – I thought, after which I ran straight at Kai to attack.
