*Before Alex's escape
Inside the Golden Boar, the fight had just ended, how? Urg said that the inn would close if they didn't stop, it took them less than 1 minute for everything to turn back to normal.
Ludwig then realized something.
Ludwig:''Where the fuck is Alex?'' He says while looking at the others.
Gin and Lin simply shrug their shoulder, while Catherine looks around.
Catherine:''Ludwig go search for him, I am sure he is at the Guild.''
Ludwig:''Why me?''
Catherine:'' Cause you are the best tracker between us.''
Ludwig:''... I don't know if I should feel flattered or used.''
Lin:'' Just go search for him.''
Ludwig grunts and gets up from the table, to search for Alex.
In his research, he followed the road that he reached Alex, and when he reached the last shortcut, he saw something that, made him flinch.
Where there was supposed to be an alley there is instead a wall made out of rock and dirt, Ludwig easily gets over it, he begins to search around for any type of trace that could let him understand what happened.
It didn't take him too long to find the pool of blood that Alex had left behind, but the smell of the blood is strange, and the color is also mixed with something black.
Ludwig:''...Poison, fuck, he has been kidnapped if not even killed, I have to be fast.''
Suddenly in front of 2 different Communication magi circles appeared, the purpose is to send an emergency message to both the Guild and his group, the message purpose was to tell them their position and just two words "ALEX DANGER".
In less than 3 minutes Catherine, Lin, Gin, Urg with a battle-ax, Morgana, Roshi, and Gustav was on the site.
Catherine:'' What happened where is Alex?''
Ludwig:'' I don't know, I found this blood trace with some blood in the shortcut that taught him, has he arrived at the Guild?''
In front of Morgana, something similar to a paper list appears.
Morgana:'' He isn't at the Guild or he would be inside this list.''
Ludwig:'' Then it is as I suspected someone kidnapped him.''
Urg:'' I am going to crush the heads of whoever touched my lover.'' She says while a strange aura begins to cover her body.
Catherine:'' Control your rage, or you will enter in a rampage, at least wait to find the enemy.'' Even though she said those words, in her face there is no emotion, the thing similar to it is the bloodlust inside their eyes.
Even though Alex has been in this world for only a few days, his aura, his constant smile, his jokes made him a funny guy to be around, and everyone present considered him a friend, an apprentice, and a lover, and luckily for Alex, these people aren't just pushovers.
Catherine:'' Gin, Lin, Ludwig immediately search the area and in case talk to the guys at the slums, brute force is acceptable.'' She says while getting outside of the alley.
Morgana:'' Wait, Roshi inform the Guild leader of the current situation.'' She says while turning the alley back to its normal state.
Morgana:'' Urg, Catherine wait here I will give you some head to smash.''
Suddenly the blood on the ground flew on top of Morgana's hand, she raised her other hand, and the blood and poison divided into two groups, the blood and poison then began to emit light.
Morgana:'' The blood belongs to a halfling, his name is Karg, the poison is a simple drug that causes the victim to faint, so Alex might still be alive.''
Urg:'' I know Karg, that piece of shit became a new member of the Numbers.''
The Numbers are a group of assassins/mercenaries that for enough money would do anything, their numbers are around 123, 124 with Karg, and this is only inside this city, the higher the number the stronger you are.
Urg:'' I know where he lives, and my ax is about to scream.''
Before they could leave a portal opened in front of the alley, out of it Leonard appeared.
Leonard:'' So? Where are we going?''
.
.
.
On the road to Karg's house, the group was attacked by a group made of 10 of the same assassin that attacked Alex.
Unfortunately for them, inside the group apart from the Golden devil Catherine, the Savage Urg, and the Wind Blade Roshi, there also was the Archmage Morgana, the Guild Leader Leonard, Gustav the War Prodigy, and 3 drunk and angered men.
Before the 10 of the guys could even attack their body was blocked by a whip made of water.
All the 10 of them opened their mouth and smashed something inside them.
In less than 5 seconds all 10 of them died, because of poison.
Leonard:'' Morgana, you know what to do.''
Morgana's hands were covered in strange black energy, the bodies covered in black flames, the clothes destroyed and only a zombie remained from their previous corpse, the poison didn't only kill them it is also destroying their corpse.
Morgana:'' Where is Alexander Kingstone?''
All of the 10 corpses began to speak at the same time.
Zombies:'' His location is at an abandoned building near Karg's house.''
Before they could ask anything the bodies dissolved and a firework shoot to the sky.
Morgana:''Shit, they know we are on their tracks now, we must speed up.''
Leonard:'' It's my turn.''
Leonard takes out a pocket watch and clicks on the button on top of it.
The same portal from he came out before opened again, on the other side there is a building made of wood.
All of them went through the gate, only to be attacked by 4 assassins.
Roshi disappeared and appeared behind the 4 assassins.
They weren't killed, their lower mouth was removed and healed on the spot but not regrown, the same thing happened to theirs hands and feet.
Urg didn't wait and immediately went for the door, she was about to push it open with her shoulder, but before she could the door was opened by Alex.
Alex:''Took you long enough.'' He says while fainting.
Urg takes Alex before he could touch the ground, and carries him away from the house.
The other looks inside the house and are surprised by what they see.
Alex by himself had killed 5 assassins if not, even more, they look at Alex, his clothes are covered in blood and his pants are completely burned while the flesh on his leg has a second-degree burn that slowly healing by itself.
Ludwig:'' Guess he didn't need us.'' He says before burning his soul out.
.
.
.
Inside a white room with several beds and with shelf filled with medicines, we can see Alex sleeping on of the beds.
All of his wounds completely healed, with no apparent scar on his body apart from the one previous to the kidnapping.
Inside the room, there is a woman with pointy ears, green eyes, and hair wearing a brown skirt, a green sweatshirt with on top of it a white coat, she is looking at Alex with a strange look on her eyes, the most attractive thing apart for her hears? Her *coff massive boobs *coff.
Alex in his begins to move around, in his sleep the nightmare of something following him inside a dark forest had just begun.
The thing following him was coming nearer and nearer until it finally reached him and when it was about to eat him...
*AHHH
Alex woke up screaming, he almost fell the bed because of it, luckily the woman inside the room was watching him.
She swings her hand, a from the top of his a plant appeared that stopped his fall.
Alex realizes that it was just a dream, he looks around, and he sees the woman he guesses what happened.
Alex:''Thank you, I guess I had a nightmare.'' He says while using all of his willpower to not look at her boobs.
Woman:'' Don't worry, it's my job as a healer to secure everyone's safety, I have already healed your injuries, even the scars.'' She says with a smile on her face.
Alex notices the pointy ears and his bulges.
Alex:''Are you an elf?''
Woman:'' No I am halfling, a human and an elf are my parents, my name is Litia.''
Alex:'' An halfling?''
Litia:'' A being that is born from 2 different races, but it shouldn't be exchanged for the beastmen, they are a completely different race.''
Alex then adjusted himself and the plants begin to retract, he wanted to get down from the bed, but before he could Litia stopped him.
Litia:'' Don't you dare, even though your body is healed, it still is in a weakened state, you have only been eating liquid food for more than 3 days.''
Alex:''It has been 3 days?''
Litia:'' Yeah, every day, a lot of people came to visit you, I even had to stop an orc from trying to take you away.''
Alex:'' Urg.''
Litia:'' Urg.''
Alex sits on his bed and opens his status.

Alex:'I can see the good side at least, my magic skill improved by a lot.'
Suddenly the door opened and Aubrey entered the room with a plate.
When Aubrey saw Alex awake, a smile formed on her face,
Aubrey:'' It's nice seeing you awake Alex, I think you deserve something more than a soup.''
She gets back out and in less than 3 minutes she is back with several plates.
Alex's mouth begins to water, the plates had meat, potatoes, corn(OH MY GOD IS CORN), vegetables, and even a slice of cake.
Alex begins to wat all of the food, even almost choking, fortunately, he can easily create a glass of water with magic.
His eating session lasted 2 minutes.
During it, Aubrey and Litia simply looked at him.
When he finished Alex burped and piled all of the plates, then passed them to Aubrey.
Aubrey:'' Thanks sweety, rest well, be sure to rest well.''
She then gets off the room leaving Alec and Litia alone.
Alex:'' How long will take for me to be able to get out?''
Litia:'' By tomorrow morning all your strength will be back?''
Alex:'' If you know, can you tell who or what attacked me?''
Litia:'' For that, you should wait for the arrival of the Guild Leader, which should arrive in 3...2...1... here.''
And just like she said Leonard opened the door and went inside the room,
Leonard:''ALEX, You woke up I am sure you have several questions regarding what happened, I am here to answer them.''
Alex:'' Wel first thing first I want to ask what the fuck happened.''
Leonard:'' For that answer, I will have to explain to you who are the Numbers.''
Alex:'Am I back to elementary school?'
