I read as soon as I hit the ground, I'm guessing that breaking my leg for sure activated the recovery stat, this should be good for my stamina. I quickly put 30 in Strength and Agility, 10 in Vitality, and 20 in recovery before healing my broken leg with Shapeshift, this fucker has successfully pissed me off.

I break into the fastest sprint this body can allow

[ Activated!!!]

The wind is going through my hair and hitting my face, this is amazing, If my mouth wasn't full of air probably making me look stupid I'd feel like an absolute God.

There he is, that blonde scrawny bitch that randomly attacked me

____

Ron quickly raised his hand to the offenders face

"HOLY GODDESS GRANT ME FLAME!!"

The attacker was the barbarian from the forest

Melanie quickly brought out her club and swung it at the bulky man who had his hand around Ron's throat who was currently getting blasted with fire magic, despite feeling guilty due to the fact Ron attacked the stranger randomly first there was no other answer for her, perhaps if she had seen past his exterior into this aura of raw power he now emitted she would have reacted badly too.

Her club broke on the barbarians back, despite him not having a large amount of muscle her club was like nothing.

Ron's magic was already quite emptied and nothing was left after he finished his flame spell.

(At least that dude's brain is fried)

The smoke cleared, and there was nothing but the face of a brute- A young boy?

(Actually, he isn't even strangling me with his raw power, he's just holding me by the throat?)

___

This sunuvabitch really used flame on my face, if I didnt have this Shapeshift my eyebrows would be gone forever.

At first I was gonna fuck this dude up, but I don't really feel comfortable with a kinda one sided beatdown, and this flimsy guy could accidentally die as well If I'm too rough, plus I don't even think I'm mad anymore, I've always had a problem of calming down too quickly.

"Where is the kingdom."

I set him down and looked at him.

I also said this with my toughest tough guy voice I could do, and didn't break eye contact even once.

"I- What?"

The scrawny blonde guy looked at me like I was dumb, and the buff chick decided to join him in eye mocking the stupid forest caveman.

"There is a village, musnt there be a kingdom? Or... What kingdom are we in right now?"

___

Ron sighed internally, he knew barbarians were two things:

strong, and dumb.

This boy definitely met both of those requirements.

"Let's uh... Take a seat.

___

After a short awkward while we were seated, the two village people on one side of a tabled bench, and me on the other, as well as a little kid touching my back muscles, honestly I wanna touch my crazy muscles too but I dont wanna seem weird.

They're looking at me with suspicious eyes so I decide break the tension

"So.. Why did you guys look at me like I was dumb?"

They exchanged a quick glance before the blonde opened his mouth

"There isn't kingdoms anymore, hasn't been since 200 years ago during the firsr de- Have you just been reading story books?"

Fudge, this is the part where I come up with a backstory

"I must have lost my memory, I don't remember anything before the last few weeks, I woke up under a mountain in the forest and came out, this was the first place I've seen."

____

A realization came to Ron who, as a mage specializing in flame and gravitational spells was immediately very interested

Ron looked to the thick source of smoke

"Did you have something to do with that forest fire?!"

"Yeah, my bad, I must have learned magic before I lost my memory cause I shot it out of my hand accidentally lighting a tree on fire and... You get it."

This was an opportunity, if Ron could take this boy- no, this powerhouse under his wing, he could have the ability to conduct much more research.

"I will surely teach you of-"

"Are we supposed to believe this?"

Oh yeah, about the barbarian thing, the women are rare and are an exception to the dumb rule, unfortunately they are also often lesser in strength.

The boy with dark skin and skin like the hide of a wild boar looked at the mage and barbarian, before shrugging.

"I wouldn't believe it either, I am pretty strong."

___

'As the ebony barbarian stood in the village tower, grey ash flew down like angels with clipped wings often gliding with the help of the smooth warm winds, the sky as orange as the wispy flames of sunset. The song of a whisp could be heard carried by the wind, an alluring and mesmerizing noise.'

___

With the 'birds song' skill my whistling is absolutely incredible, I'm standing on top of some sort of lookout tower in the village, I can see miles around! And... My forest fire is very.. Very bad now. I had no Idea the forest was so large, turns out this village is in the middle or something of a clearing in this forest, it makes a really, REALLY tall wall the whole way around, though there are only about 1 really tall tree for every 6 normalish trees, it really just made anything past the first 50 meters kinda not seeable.

I hopped down making a grunt as a landed, but it was mostly cause I expected at least a bit of wind knocked out of me, I was even ready to roll so I didnt screw up my body but it was obvious that I was completely fine

I climbed the tower after they didnt respond, I wish I got more out of this than just seeing that we're boxed in, but, I'm sure this forest will be gone in a little bit at this rate

___

After getting a better look using a magic skill 'All Seeing Eye' the forest fire had gotten Rons brow sweaty

He quickly gestured for Melanie to come over to him as he hurriedly walked over to her as well, before connecting her to the spell

"Holy craps! Ron! This.. What?!"

___

With normal fire, there is an extent of what you can burn, wood paper cloth, etc. With magic fire, you could set a piece of rock on fire using magic, and though it wouldnt get much done, you could keep it going as long as you're investing magic

The blue steel forest was not just in name, with wood that has nearly the same properties as steel, and even the leaves are immune to normal fire. Unless constant magic is being poured in you couldn't even burn a log into charcoal. But this, each and every tree that was on fire stayed on fire. Who is this man?

"Ron, this is a problem. If he is one of the Great Eight Demons, then the sooner we get him out the better."

Melanie put her hand on his shoulder in the serious moment looking him dead in the eyes

(Fuuuck! Really? Now that it might be life or death this happens?)

"Okay, how should I do it?"

"I, I think I may have a plan."

___

Finally, dinnertime. I havent seen the other villagers but this kid is here eating this meat and potatoes with us

"Alright so can you guys explain the Kingdom thing now? Also, what are your names?"

I raised a bird leg and started eating, it didnt really taste that good, but it definitely wasn't bad

The hot tall chick looked at the blonde guy who had absolutely stuffed his mouth with meat and potatoes, he definitely needs the protein

"Ahem, well, Kingdoms are kinda just a storybook thing, it's more like, people make groups with strong people, and those strong people make territories and govern them. Also, my name is Melanie."

Thats, huh, thats very normal.

"I have a question, how did you make it out of the forest? If you lost your memory, and dont seem to have a weapon.."

"Ah uh, yeah I did have a sword but it broke, so uh.."

Melanie was staring intently, I dont know if I should tell these people but they are kinda just villagers I guess, I'll use one more bite of this bird to think it over

'Clean'

As I sank my teeth in, I noticed her looking suprised

"Where'd you learn that?"

Chewing has never felt this long, chew chew chew.. Chew chew, chew chew chew, swallow, salivate, cough, and swallow again. Move gunk from my teeth with my tongue, salivate, and swallow just one more time.

"Ahem, the wolf I wanted to eat seemed dirty, and this skill came to mind, as for your other question, I'm not weak, and sneak attacks go a long way."

Shit. Fuck. Why did I say that, like that. I sound like I'm about to sneak attack them!

"Uh, what's your name?"

What the fuck

Why is his mouth still so full of food

Unfortunately, the sight of his curious eyes looking at me with potato bits spilling out of his mouth was too much for me and the kid, we start cracking up

The blonde guy also starts, unfortunately the food cannot handle such things and potatoes comes out of his nose, destroying me and the kid, I've never seen something like this in real life, this is hilarious

___

"Ahem, I'm Ron nice to meet you, and you are?"

Hmmmm.. Do I use my real name? Or make a fake one? Or-

My thinking was cut off guard by him mumbling 'oh, yeah'

That's what it took for me to remember I supposedly have no memory, I could have fucked up bigtime.

Despite my great memory, not everything is constantly on my mind which kinda sucks.

My peripheral sees it again, gosh.

I didn't look, I didnt say anything, hell, I didnt even wanna think about it. But Melanie hasn't spoke at all, she didnt even laugh at potato nose over there she's jus been studying my face or something
