Chapter 2: chapter 2

"What" after I said that everyone looked at me strangely I more or less knew what they thought I got my hand on my knife and they flinched and moved back few steps I sighed left my knife and went forward with a club at my hand I looked carefully at my broken left hand I moved it a little the potion is having its effect but it will take some time so I went a head and all the people opened a way for me to pass I didn't stop until I reached half way through them I got the extra knife and extended it toward my cousin who looked blankly at it "don't you need it" I looked at my hand as he asked me "I can't fight at the moment I need to heal first" he looked at my burned hand as he got his knife "doesn't it hurt" I simply nodded and went forward and he chased after me with my other cousin one of them was a larger build with a little more protected parts than what I got (I guess he got a physical technique) the other one got his clothes that looked like mine not too much protection but easy to move I handed the bigger one the club "your techniques are of a Frontline right" he nodded as he accepted the club and went forward (well he was a moba player so he does know his role is protecting us I looked at the other one but before I could inquire about his techniques "hey stop right there" the other people came running toward us or most likely me I only looked at them "how could you do that" I tilted my head "do what exactly" they looked angry but most of them were afraid " robbing her of course" I looked at the dead body behind at the darkness it barely is showing right now "I doubt she would need it anymore" and I started to move again but a hand stopped me "I said stop" but right after he caught my arm I pushed his hand away as I looked coldly at him " don't touch me" he heard that got few steps back but then came forward again and extended his hand "give her pouch back it should be back to her family" I only looked at the hand and shook my head a nerve appeared at his head as he tried to take it using violence I caught his hand with my burned right arm and let it ablaze I left his arm mine was normal while his was caught on fire a weak one though as he distinguished it easily he was afraid by then all of the others too " let me put it simply for people like you to understand I fought and killed that goblin and now my prize of my sweat and blood is for her family I don't think so if you think j will just handnit over then be prepared to be burned alive first" I left them standing there and moved on forward my cousins came after me as they looked behind them "can't you give it up " I just shook my head "you should have realized by now that this isn't earth or any civilized place I risked my life and this is my reward they were careless it's not my problem" but they looked reluctant about that "can't you give them some help" I looked at my younger cousin and raised my burned hand he saw it and didn't continue "I can barely kill one monster I don't have mastery over my techniques or my body the best I can do is keeping myself alive and that include you two at most but with this group it's suicide to do all that work for them they should have got skills just like me" they heard that and nodded after sometime I moved silently and after few hours of moving through the cave we found nothing like an exit or even a spec of life nearby with the three of us moving together with a bunch of stalkers behind us my broken hand already got healed and my burned palm I started to feel it once again with being as tired as we are I sat down without saying anything they came to the side and sat beside me "how long do you think it will take to reach the end" I looked at the club it's almost fully burned we don't really have that much longer and I prefer to have our pouches intact I got a rock from the ground and threw it toward the road we were going through a sound came few times "still some time to go we might reach it by tomorrow at most"(we actually can reach it after few more hours but the risk is too big with my burned hand) they heard that and took a deep breath I felt hungry and looks like those two are the same "I don't have any food but about water" I extended my left hand toward my mouth and few droplets started to come from my fingers until it increased and I started to drink from it after I got enough I got my hand toward their mouths as they started to drink the stalkers were looking at us after they ended I looked at my hand "it's kind of lewd how you two drank from my fingers" I laughed a little because of that but then some of our stalkers came forward it was a woman "can you give me some water too" I looked at her "what will you give me for it" she heard that but from how she is dressed I don't really see anything useful she got her pouch toward me but I shook my head " don't need it" and I looked at my first aid inside of my pouch (they should be enough until we reach the nearest village) but she looked around her and she tried to come closer to me I shook my head once again (yeah I'm a virgin but I have to be alive to graduate and I don't want her to begin with) she looked left and right then another one shoved something toward me I looked at what she offered nodded and got her to come closer to drink after she got enough I removed my hand but she demanded more "pay more then" she heard that and she went back with nothing to offer I looked at the bit of food I was able to get I got it into three parts and got the biggest part and ate it as I threw the two smaller parts to my cousins they looked at their food "it's what we got don't want it then give it back" but they ate it before I continued a man came toward us "why are you doing a trade at this time we should give even shares for everyone" I sighed at him ( what a bunch of idiots maybe I should burn them) but then i shook my head I don't have that much strength right now " why should I do that it was a fair trade you give something of equal value and I kept my promise to give water and before you say any stupid thing I can't make enough water for every person here so you can't pay for it then not my problem" "b-but we will die like that" I went and looked at the ceiling "well we were all dead few hours ago and even at earth people die from hunger all the time" I yawned and went to sleep (they aren't that courageous enough to kill) I thought about that because there should be at least one of them that got a Good skill that will win against Me but their fear is preventing them from doing it so I best use that fear to rest for now hunger and other things will force them to do things they normally won't do so it's now the time to rest to get my hand to a good shape It's getting better but isn't good enough right now it's best to rest right now I slept and I dreamt of those memories once again I was standing at the battlefield with no one there beside me and the guy I got his memories I stepped back few steps from how he looks no skin bones sticking out of what remained of hus body he didn't talk but extended his hand I went few steps toward him and got my hand to touch his but once we touched each other more of his memories rushed toward my head and I woke up while screaming as I checked my surrounding and they were afraid of me I took a deep breath as I tried to calm myself "you okay" with my cousins looking worried at me I got my hand toward them with it's shaking I stopped and got up on my own "we will continue now get your things" I got my pouch and started walking after three hours or so we were mostly walking silently to decrease our use of what remain of our strength but with a dim light of the club finally being extinguished we stopped as I held my cousins hands after few minutes with our vision getting better we continued to move " don't get away or leave my hand" after that we continued and after more hours we were breathing heavily I stopped for another rest my hand was healed enough for me to feel the scorching pain but I didn't mind that pain it's what got me to feel alive right now I squeezed my cousins hand and we moved again but our movement was much slower with each passing second we slowed down until we stopped not because we couldn't move any longer but because of the dim light in front of us a smile found it's place on my face as we moved toward it but I stopped them before we reached the entrance as I got my knife ready my heavy shielded cousin looked worried but he took the front and I was right behind him we walked slowly and after we reached the entrance we found a wolf leaning on a tree just he was standing at two legs I readied my knife (a werewolf) as I got my information of these bloody creatures I was worried that I can't kill it as the wolf realized that we came he went toward us he lowered his hand and I got my knife ready to thrust at any kind of rushing he is going to try but he got bunch of leaves into a certain order and he left us then but after a minute or so he came back with a bunch of dishes on hand he placed them and extended his hand toward the food offering it to us but I looked at him not removing my eyes no matter what he did but he didn't stay as he went back and continued to watch us from a bit of a distance we could see him but from my memories he shouldn't reach us fast enough that I can't react I lowered my knife and I went a head and got a bread inside of my mouth with a bunch of fruits right after it I didn't care about the taste I aimed at things that will replenish my hunger and increase exhausted strength after a bit all of the people came forward and started to eat I finished and left them eating and eating more I only got enough to stand firmly and got some of the bread inside of my pouch the werewolf waited until we finished eating before he came forward and bowed his head like a butler "welcome to our world I'm lycawn your knowledge provider" they couldn't understand him well I left them and went toward with him being a knowledge provider his danger level went down several levels I knew from those information that those knowledge providers are a peacfuo creatures that won't attack unless for protecting themselvessome of them even leave you to kill them I went a head and stood in front of him "how may I help you" I got my hand and pointed at myself "which patch is this one" he heard that and his brow got raised for few seconds before they returned "an information skill I see" seems like he understood he looked at all of us "there were 22 patch I know of before you" I heard that and went into thinking after a moment I looked at him again "how many knowledge providers do you know that are doing this job" he raised two fingers "only two and their patches are included as well" I sighed "okay can i see my skill level" he nodded and he got a necklace after he got me to touch it a blue light appeared with my four skills at it
