=================================

Just when Damon thought that it was the end, a terrifying roar rang out from behind. Damon hardly looked behind and was stupefied. There was a beast standing about 2 meters tall, its body was around 3 meters long with deep black fur and crimson red eyes. Damon knew this beast, it was a Rank 6 Crimson Wolf, its name came from the beast’s eyes. When hunting in the dark for prey only his crimson eyes are visible. It was a rank 6 magical beast, but had the power of an ordinary rank 7 beast.

“This must be its territory” thought Damon, while looking at the horrifying beast.

When the Golden Eyed Bear saw the Crimson Wolf, its face twisted in fear. It didn’t realize that while hunting Damon, they had entered the Crimson Wolf’s territory.

“Grrrrr” the Crimson Wolf started walking towards the Golden Eyed Bear, this beast had invaded his territory, so only death awaited him. The strange thing was that the Crimson Wolf didn’t even looked at Damon, in its eyes, he was too weak and wasn’t even worth looking at. When Damon realized this, he let out a sigh of relief. He was safe for now, but he needed to get away from here as soon as possible because if the Crimson Wolf took interest in him he was dead for sure.

The Crimson Wolf started running towards the Golden Eyed Bear. It was so terrified that it couldn’t even flee. In an instant the Wolf had already appeared before him and swung its claws. The Bear couldn’t dodge the attack and lost its left eye. It had only started screaming, but already another claw had flown right into its stomach. Blood was flowing nonstop, and the Bear let out a poor scream as it fell to the ground.

When Damon looked at this scene he was stupefied “so this is the power of a rank 6 magical beast” he thought to himself. The fight hadn’t even started and the bear was already dead. The Crimson Wolf was a really terrifying beast… To kill a rank 5 beast this easily.

The Crimson Wolf turned around and started walking towards Damon. When Damon saw the beast moving in his direction his heart stopped beating, confused to on what to do he closed his eyes and stopped breathing.

Damon was awaiting death. It was the horrible moment, when you know that you will die. Seconds were flowing like years for him, suddenly he heard wolf’s roar “HOUUU”, “This is the end” He thought again but nothing happened. Damon slowly opened his eyes looked around but Crimson Wolf was gone. He couldn’t understand what happened just now. Why beast didn’t killed him? He was puzzled and was thinking about answer, but soon stopped thinking about it, “Fate gave me another chance, huh” he thought for himself and closed his eyes.

2 Weeks passed and Damon’s wounds had healed, he left Crimson Wolf’s territory and returned to the outskirts of the Mountain Beast Range, and was hunting rank 2 and 3 beasts, after that “Life and Death” incident, he was careful and was avoiding stronger beasts, his strength increased and the magical energy in his body was increasing, if he continues to meditate and practice, soon he’ll make a breakthrough.

It was a sunny day, beast’s screams could be heard in the Mountain Beast Range, a young boy was killing rank 2 and rank 3 beasts with smooth and elegant movements. It was Damon, one month already passed since that incident. He made a breakthrough and was a already rank 3 Mage, his physical strength increased dramatically. On rank 2 beasts, Damon didn’t need to use magic, just a sword. This past month, he had been improving his swordplay.

Damon just killed a Rank 3 Beast Azure Mastiff and was going to get the core from its body but suddenly he heard screaming “AHHHHH, HELPPP!” it was a girl’s voice, Damon quickly left the beast’s body and with the help of ‘wind walking’ he appeared at the place where the voice was coming from, it was around 300 meters from Damon.

When he got there Damon saw a young girl with blonde hair, brown eyes, she was around 14-15 years old, her clothes were tattered all over and there were wounds on her knees. She was facing a rank 3 magical beast White Mastiff. It had black eyes and snow white fur, White Mastiffs were small beasts around 1 meter high but they had monstrous strength.

When Damon saw the situation he leaped and arrived in front of a girl, “Wind Cutter” he muttered quietly and slashed his sword, the attack was aimed at the Mastiffs neck. The Beast couldn’t react in time and died instantly, Wind Cutter was a rank 3 wind technique, with this technique Damon’s sword became many times faster and stronger, for normal eyes it seemed like his sword disappeared.

Blood flew from beast’s throat, Damon cut its stomach and got the core. He put it into the bag then turned around and looked at the girl, he approached her and said “are you okay?” The girl was looking at him and then said “Yes, thank you. If it wasn’t for you, I would have probably been dead already.” While cleaning her dress, “Umm, can you please help me? My name is Clair. Me and my friends came here together and I lost them, can you help me find them?” She looked into Damon’s eyes with an innocent face.

Damon came here for training and didn’t had time for anything else but when he saw the look in her eyes, he let out a sigh and said “Okay. I’ll help you find them.” Clair smiled in response, suddenly Damon felt another Beast nearing them and told Clair “Stand behind me, there’s still one more beast.” Clair stood behind Damon and soon the beast appeared before them. “So it’s just an Orange Striped Spider…” Damon made a smile while looking at the beast. It was another rank 3 beast, it was black all over the body and had orange stripes. It also had a dangerous poison, but Damon has already killed a couple of Orange striped Spiders, so he didn’t think he would have any problem.

He had just unsheathed his sword and was about to kill the beast when suddenly he felt pain from behind, he placed his hand on his back, then he looked at it and there was BLOOD! Yes, blood. Clair who was standing behind him just stabbed Damon with a knife. Damon fell onto his knee, his eyes darkened a bit and suddenly five figures appeared in front of him. They killed spider and then “Hohoho, another victim for today. Clair bring his bag here, let’s see what he got.” One of them, who seemed to be the leader said while smiling. Clair took Damon’s bag and gave it to the man.

The Bandits leader opened the bag and was amazed. “Wow, so much Monster cores.” All of them had widened eyes, they didn’t think that this kid would have so much Monster Cores and on top of it there were rank 2 and 3 cores. Clair approached Damon and said “Thanks for saving me, but you see, it was a trap. Kukuku.” There was an evil smile on her face. She then approached her teammates and started to count the Beast cores.

Damon was standing there on his knees, he still didn’t get what happened. And only one question was on his mind “WHY? He had saved girl and then got stabbed by her. Why did this happened to him? He was thinking, and then he had remembered something. “that’s right” on his face smile appeared “that’s how this world is arranged”, he was too naïve and kindhearted. In the institute he got friends who cared about him and was happy but he was too naïve in this world. You can’t trust everybody who has a smile on their face. “HAHAHAHAHAHA!” He suddenly he started to maniacally laugh.

The Bandits turned around and saw Damon who was laughing like a madman, “Whats with him?” said the leader, when suddenly fire appeared on Damon’s hand. He then placed it on his wound, “Kughh!” The pain he felt was excruciating but it was necessary. Because if he left wound like this, he would die from blood loss.

Damon burned wound on his back and slowly stood up, he then looked at people in front of him “EVERYONE OF YOU IS GOING TO DIE!!!” with a smile on his face he said these sharp words and unsheathed his sword.

When the bandits witnessed this they were stupefied, in front of them was a kid of only around 10 years old. Yet all of them felt danger, in their group there were 4 warriors and two mages. The mages were rank 2, and the warriors rank 3. Their leader was a rank 4 warrior and were your average bandits. In the Mountain Range of Beasts they had ambushed weak people and robbed them, but none of them had ever seen anything like this before. Clair was looking at Damon with wide eyes. In that moment, Damon was like a demon that has been resurrected, in his eyes there were hints of crimson light like a beast’s, with tattered clothes and blood on his face, he was really like a small demon.

“KILL HIM!” shouted the leader and all of the bandits came to their senses, 3 warriors leaped. Their weapons unsheathed and mages started casting magic. Clair was a mage too, her affinity was fire and she and her partner casted fireballs and shot them in Damon’s direction.

Damon had already casted wind walking magic and easily dodged the fireballs. One warrior approached him and slashed with his sword. In Damon’s eyes he was too slow so it was easy to dodge this strike. He dodged the bandit’s strike and with a casual strike slashed the bandits neck. The bandit held on to his neck he wanted to scream but voice was not coming out. He fell on the floor and stopped moving. “So this is what it feels like to kill human.” Thought Damon. His hands were shaking, it was not because he was scared, he was excited. His blood started to boil.

Seeing their teammate dead, the other two warriors were nervous and attacked together. The mages didn’t know any other spells, so they kept shooting fireballs but it was useless. Damon was dodging them with ease, two warriors approached him and just when they were about to strike him Damon shouted “Wind cutter” and cut both bandits fell in half.

He then appeared in front of a male mage. He was very fast and thrusted his sword in his stomach, another bandit collapsed and fell on the floor. Now there was only two left. The Leader and Clair!

“Now it’s your turn.” He looked at the leader. “DON’T FUCK WITH ME KID!” The leader roared and with his axe in hand, rushed towards Damon. He was a rank 4 warrior and didn’t believed that the kid could defeat him.

When the Bandit leader approached Damon and swung his axe, Damon dodged but not completely. He blocked the axe with his sword and took 5 steps back. “He’s strong.” Thought Damon, “Wind cutter!” Damon roared and made a strike. The leader dodged the attack, on his face there was a little scratch. “Is this all you got kid? Hahahaha come at me!” He roared, with his axe in hand he leaped and arrived in front of Damon. He was swinging his axe nonstop, Damon was hardly dodging attacks, “This isn’t good, I must quickly dispose of him or I might lose.” He thought as he leaped back. On his hand, a fireball appeared that was the size of a human head. He then shot it, and started running towards the leader. “That won’t work kid!” Exclaimed the leader and swung his axe in front of fireball. He cut it, but sadly Damon was already in front of him. “This is the end, Wind Cutter!” Said Damon and slashed his sword, the leader had wanted to block it but he couldn’t react as everything happened too fast. “Noo!” He screamed and in that instant his head fell down to the ground.

Now there was only Clair left. When she saw her leader’s head roll on ground she felt horror. She didn’t know what to do and she started running. She didn’t want to fight Damon because she would die, so her only option was to run.

When Damon saw this he smiled, and started running towards Clair, when he approached her, with an evil voice he said “Where are you running to?” and slashed his sword on Clair’s legs, “AAGHH!” she screamed and fell to the ground. Damon stopped and started to slowly approach her, “Noo…. don’t come near me… please… it wasn’t my fault! They forced me to do it! Please! Don’t kill meee… pleaseee…” She was begging, but there was no emotion on Damon’s face. He approached her and with a fierce look he said “Die.” and thrust his sword into her stomach, she screamed but soon there was silence. Damon took his sword out and Clair collapsed.

Damon let out a sigh and looked at the sky, he was only 10 years old and had already killed 6 humans. ‘Was it right?’ He asked himself, but soon stopped thinking about it because in the world where he lived, the strong devoured the weak. They wanted to kill and rob him so in response he killed them.

Damon took their monster cores and money, placed it in his bag and disappeared into the forest.
