Looking at how Roger was, he scolded him "You should know better than to sleep in open space like this!"
"You almost die!" The tall barbarian looking man shouted at Roger.
"Thank you for saving me, but there is no need to shouted like that to me and who the hell are you?!"
Baffled with the tall man action, Roger thanks him and asking him the questions simultaneously as the tall man talking to him as if they know each other for long time.
"Ah Li it me Ah Da your uncle!" The tall barbarian name Ah Da shouted at Roger with pale face as if afraid of something.
"Ah Da who?" reply Roger as he become more confused.
"Oh no, your sickness have taken your memory away!" Ah Da rushed to Roger to check his body, afraid that maybe there is another thing wrong with him other than memories lost.
" erm? good... good there is nothing wrong other than memories lost" Ah Da exhale in relief after checking Roger whole body as he found nothing wrong with his nephew other than bit bony and having lost his memories.
When Ah Da touching Roger body, he is helpless and can't do anything, it all because this freaking barbarian is too strong he is helpless as kitten in face of human.
After having his body touch all over by Ah Da he than taking few steps back as if afraid same thing will happen again.
"eh? where are you going? we need to return to village as fast as possible if not, we will be in danger when night arrives" Ask Ah Da.
"no where.." reply Roger while stopping his footsteps, he knew that he can't out run Ah Da, at least not now.
After conforming that he is safe and Ah Da have no malicious intentions towards him only then did he started to realize something.
In front his eyes there is rectangle box floating infront him.
[[Blood of Cloud Leopard detected]]
[[Absorb?]]
" What is this?" Roger asked puzzled, as he only saw this type of thing in game and not real life.
"I am in game?" he mutter to himself as he becoming more confused because if this is game there is no way it will become this realistic, as technology in his world is not advance enough.
'Absorb' leaving with no other choice he decided to say the word in his mind and wanted to look what will happen.
[[Absorbing the Blood of Cloud Leopard!]]
[[Absorbing fail! Target too far away]]
"eh?, it fail because I too far away?" he look at the leopard carcass 10 steps away from him with desire as curiosity take over his head.
Roger than walking toward the carcass but his movement stopped after few steps, because left hand is grabbed by Ah Da.
" What are you doing Ah Li, we need to move now, even than we can only reach our village by second day" Question Ah Da.
"If you hungry eat this" Ah Da give dry meat to Roger from his leather pouch and without waiting for Roger to eat it, he lift Roger onto his shoulder like rice sack and started running.
"Oh no! My Leopard!" shouted Roger as the carcass becomes more smaller as distance between them growing.
He really helpless, he can't do nothing but letting Ah Da carry him. He did not even dare to move around because he afraid falling from Ah Da shoulder because Ah Da move really fast, at least 100Km/H.
And if he fall to the ground at this speed, he sure as hell he will be injured, there is no doubt about that.
With blank face, Roger see the tree shifting into another tree as Ah Da speeding like road runner, but strangely there is not a single bead of sweat on Ah Da body and he don't even have rapid heart beat as it just normal like walking to him.
Few hours getting carried like rice sack finally over as Ah Da stop running and put him down.
"it almost dusk, quick we need to dig the ground and make hole that fit us as shelter!" Ah Da said as he rapidly digging the ground.
Ah Da digging skillfully as if he been doing this since his childhood. After 10 minutes the hole have been dig large enough to fill Ah Da and Roger.
Ah Da than begin to chopping the tree with axe that hanging on his leather belt, to make cover for the hole he dig.
After 25 minutes the cover for hole is finished and ontop it was cover with a lot of leafs, Ah Da than dragging Roger into the hole and close it.
Sitting inside the hole with Ah Da and only few hole for air to come in and out for them to breathing, Roger feels it rediculous as in night there is only beast if they sitting ontop of tree and be careful it should be fine.
Looking at Ah Da in front him, Roger can't stop himself from asking.
"Why bother with all the digging when he can set up bonfire outside, if one not enough we can set few to make it brighter. Surely there is no a lot of beast can harm us if we careful enough"
Looking at Roger when Roger asking him, this question Ah Da feel sympathy for him.
"sigh.. Ah Li, beast is the last thing that we should be afraid of when night arrives, it the Evil what we should be careful with when night arrives" Ah Da sigh and explain why he did all this digging.
"Evil? Like ghost?!"Asking Roger as he become agitated and scared when the memories of his past encounter flashing through his mind.
"Ghost? what is that?" asked Ah Da baffled with Roger questions.
"Gh..g..Ghost, the evil spirit of the dead that haunted the living!" Roger reply with bit of stuttering.
"No, not the spirit of the dead, as spirit of our dead ancestors will protect us. This Evil is some kind of entity that coming out at night and disappears during the day, I did not know where it come from but they are dangerous!" denied Ah Da as he explained.
" Huh? Why it dangerous?" asking Roger confusedly.
" It dangerous because this Evil, if they find you they will attack you in order to absorb your vitality, you will become weak and weaker and end up dying with cold corpse" Explain Ah Da
'It that not what ghost do?' Roger question in his heart. But what come out from his mouth is different question.
"Since when did this 'Evil' exist?" Roger asked Ah Da.
"It already exists since long, long time ago, I did not know when, but Shaman maybe know more. Ah Li since you have lost your memories you have become more talkative, it good like this than before, you rarely talk and make me worried" say Ah Da.
" Am I?" Asking Roger while in his heart he Screaming, of course I more talkative, I am not Ah Li!
" Yes, you are.. it good this way" Ah Da reply with smile.
"Erm.. are people at village stayed in hole too when night arrives?" he asking golden questions towards Ah Da.
Shaking his head Ah Da reply, No. At out village their live in their own house because our village is under protection of our village totem where our ancestors rest in eternal slumber. There is rarely Evil can by passed our village totem protection barrier and if Evil passed it there is guard at our village will handle it"
"Ah Li, it maybe blessing from our ancestors that you still alive after you run away from village for almost a week and yet you still survive" Ah Da say while looking at Roger lovingly as parents looking at their child.
"Maybe" Roger reply not knowing what to say.
"Ah Li, you may not remember that, ypu use to weak and sickly, hardly be able to move around but suddenly you leave our village without notice" Ah Da say to Roger with his head lower looking at his own feets.
"Your father sacrificed his life to protect me, and he only asked me to look after you, you have no idea how worried am I, when you suddenly left. It make me think that I have fail my big brother, but I really glad to be able find you safe and sound" Ah Da say with shaking voice
But tear did not fall from his eye's as he remembered his big brother saying before his dead while smiling "Wipe your tear away, Ah Da. A man should not cry, no matter how much he is in pain nor how much sad he is, once he shows weakness those who depends on you will be worried and scared"
"Sorry" Roger say as he caught in sadness that Ah Da emit, even thought he do nothing wrong, but some how his body feels sad and guilty.
"sigh, it ok as long as you fine" Ah Da sighing full of sadness.
"erm...!" Roger wanted to say something but his mouth was covered by Ah Da palm.
"Shh! be quiet!" Ah Da whisper.
Ah Da demeanor change from sadness to vigilant in split second as the training that he received for countless year forced him into adaptable warrior.
"The Evil is here" He whisper again.
Roger can't see anything from the hole on the cover above they head, but he still trying to look.
"Don't look at them, it will make them more easier to detect you!" Ah Da whisper again to stop Roger from trying to look.
Roger can only nodded his head like chicken.
