Chapter 3 - The chase

* The year 10000 chaos cycle.*

In a gigantic Forest, numerous trees as tall as 20 meters with various colours could be seen as long as the eye could see. A different sound was heard in every angle of the forest. The forest gave a horrifying feel. In the cloud of the forest, a 14 years old boy was running fiercely among the forest, sweating profusely with his torn clothes. A hissing sound was heard from the back, slithering the forest with a rapid speed.

The hissing sound was a Rock python, it's about 20 meters long with brown colour on its skin while its big head did not obstruct its movement.

Chasing the boy, the Rock Python set its gaze upon him with full concentration, where nothing in the world matters anymore.

Chased by the rock python, the boy ran to the edge of a waterfall, the waterfall was 150 meters high could make a person panic.

The boy gasped, taking in a big gulp of air. He quickly took a few steps back while beads of sweat were all over his face.

Looking back, he founded that the python was closing on him rapidly. He clenched his fist, left with no choice, he jumped down from the high altitude into the water.

Boom!

Watching its prey escape while staring at the boy that was falling speedily. The Python hissed and jumped after him not accepting his escape.

Seeing this, he panicked, swiftly he entered the torrenting waterfall with great momentum. Instantaneously, he kept swimming toward the water bank.

Boom!.

The rock python abruptly fell into the water. Without further ado, hunting its prey quickly.

Being pursued without delay, the boy swam towards the water bank and kept running.

'If I had known, I wouldn't have stolen its egg' he thought.

"What a loss!" He sighed.

Running briskly, a sudden tremble shook the ground. A 10 meter tall and 3 meters long Black Boar, bulky, massively built suid, stood tall in front of the boy with short and relatively big legs. Its shoulder raised into a hump also its neck was short and thick to the point of being nearly immobile.

Walking majestically, it stared at the boy in disdain. Staring at each other, the boy did not stop running. He kept running towards the boar. Feeling its territory being invaded by a puny human, the Boar stomped the ground with one of its huge legs, causing an earthquake in the nearby surrounding.

The 14 years old boy did not dilly dally. He used his footwork skills to invade the attack beautifully, and nimble to a nearby tree. However, the impromptu attack hit the python, throwing it 100-meter back.

The Rock Python raised its neck in fury from the crash, glaring at the boar with rage. Neglecting the boy, the Python attacked the boar fiercely, the fight between the two great beasts caused havoc, destroying everything in their path.

The sudden turn of events makes the 14 years breathe a sigh of relief. Without further ado, the 14-year-old boy sneaked away from the fighting scene. Though he escaped, the incident gave him a memorable experience.

The boy walked for two hours before he could see a city appear in his eyesight. The city wall was about 70metersr high while guards were patrolling the area. By the city entrance, people are entering the city in an orderly manner.

Arriving at the city entrance, the guards looked at the boy, though they couldn't identify him at first, after staring at him for a couple of seconds, the boy was quickly identified. The captain of the guard shouted.

"Young master!"

All the guards bowed. Their eyes had reverence and respect that could be felt by everyone looking at them.

Everyone wondered what was so special about this dirty and unkempt 14-year-old boy.

Not caring about other people, the boy entered the city. The bustling of the city gave people a lively feeling. The city houses various buildings, stores, and restaurants while having people patronizing them cordially. Also, People move to and fro not disturbing one another.

The boy walked straight away to the city Lord mansion. Anyone he met on his way gave him a questioning look, their eyebrows raised, with their mouths twitch in disdain.

Seeing a boy with dirty tattered clothes walking towards the entrance of the city Lord mansion. One of the guards guarding the entrance came forward and said.

"Stop there! This is a restricted area!"

Ignoring the voice, the boy continued to move towards the entrance. Witnessing this, the guards draw out their swords, ready to attack any moment.

The tattered clothes and the unkempt hair make the guards not to recognize him. However, by getting closer, they recognized him in an instant. They bowed

"Welcome back, young master!" Sweating profusely, they rolled their eyes in panic. They wanted to attack the young master.

Are they sane?

With the sudden weird appearance of the young master, they could not but look at each other. What could make the young master like this? They thought. Not glancing out at them, the boy entered the mansion.

Inside the mansion, many guards could be seen in their respective areas. The ornamental flower planted in the surrounding gave a romantic feeling to the people around. Different areas with different flowers with divers of colours, added beauty that attracts birds and butterflies to the mansion.

The boy walked towards his room while various maids greeted him as he journeyed to his room. He entered his room without altering a single word, going straight to the bathroom.

He took off his torn clothes and entered into the bathtub with various conflict emotion shown on his face

"I'm too weak" he murmured.

"After entering the early essence building realm early stage 1, I believe I should be able to venture deeper into the Mountain Forest"

"What a suicide act!"

"Curiosity leads to death, I don't know that the egg belongs to a rank 2 monster beast"

He sighed, shaking his head.

"Thanks to the boar that was a rank 2 monster beast, I would have died"

" I lost my sword!!"

He shook his head while no one could guess what he was thinking. His eyes indicated as if looking at a far distance, thinking of various things.

Having lost in his thoughts, a knock woke him up.

"Young master the Lord is looking for you," a maid said.

"Tell my father I am coming".

Taking a short bath, feeling refreshed.

The boy adorned his plain white garment, bounding half of his hair with a white hairpin. Making the other half, fall on his left face and on his shoulder. While fluttering, this added a glossy look to his hair.

His phoenix eyes combined with the clean-cut face make his face alluring. Also, his white skin, 1.6m height combined with the well-proportioned muscle makes him dynamic.

In short, everything about him was a masterpiece.
