Chapter 4 - CH 04

the skin on his hands was gone, you can only see the muscles and bones , all covered with blood

but his face wasn't any better , although the mask covering his eyes protected them , the rest of his face melted down, you can only see his half eroded teeth , his non existent tongue , and his nose was no more

he didn't look any deferent than a zombie, yet he couldn't care less , although he had his fill, he was still half conscious , he couldn't feel any pain nor could he make any decisions

he was just standing there with his hands dangling dawn, unable to muster any strength , his head looking up with an open jaw , staring blankly , breathing heavily

"let's go back" the mask who've been silent the whole time finally spoke giving directions to the kid

after a while of dragging his legs , he reached the safe Zone then collapsed

seeing the boy's current state the mask couldn't help but to say " you've worked hard " after which she went back to being silent

time passed by and the kid finally woke up, and surprisingly his wounds all healed up

after he sat down properly the mask spoke

"you're finally awake?"

"yes"

"how do you feel?"

"good"

"do you remember what happened?"

"yes"

the boy looked so Grimm , with his head tilted down, and his hair covering his eyes

that experience took a toll on him , the mask couldn't help but to sigh "boy, you don't have the time to feel sad , here, you either kill or be killed"

the boy lifted his head and said " don't worry, I won't die here , nor will I let that happen again. but first I need to get stronger"

the boy's words and expression got the mask exited " now that's the spirit , you just count on me, I'll make you as strong as I can"

the boy's cold and serious expression didn't change , instead he got less talkative " en, I'll be in your care"

hearing that the mask felt relieved " now that's all settled why don't you take a look at your status , you must have gained a few levels"

"status?" as soon as the boy said that, a weird screen popped up in front of him

without giving him any time to be surprised the mask spoke " wow lv10 ! not bad , your first dungeon run and you're already lv10 ! and you even have some titles? let me see, [nameless] . [fool eater] . [berserker] ..."

the mask stared blankly at the screen for a while before she spoke " you don't have a name ?"

the kid didn't know what the mask was talking about , and all he could say was " a name? what's that? does it taste good?"

the mask was taken aback by the kid's ignorance " oh , right, you lost your memory , well , it can't be helped then , I'll give you a name so be grateful "
