"Your legacy ?", I ask confused
"That's right… my legacy, my Bökh.", he says in a low voice.
Bökh ?
What's that ?
Seeing the confusion in my face, he lets out a little sigh and says,
"It's the martial art that I used when I was alive."
Hmm… I don't really want to learn a completely different martial art, I don't have the time.
He must have seen the hesitation on my face as he soon says,
"I'll integrate the spear arts that I know into Bökh, you'll become undefeatable. That means you'll win the game easily."
Now that he puts it like that, learning from him might not be that much of a bad idea. But before I make my decision, I have to know something,
"I'm sure you know this… but your legacy is probably being carried on by your descendants back on earth… so why do this ?"
My question seems to surprise him a bit, but he soon regains his composure and says,
"I did have six wives and five hundred concubines… so it's only reasonable to assume that… but the world you're going to isn't Earth is it ? My legacy will continue on in another world !"
Ok, I'm going to ignore that.
I put some distance between us as I'm a little weirded out by him, he had this crazy look on his face.
"So, do you accept ?", he gets up puts his hand forward for a handshake.
I take his hand in mine and say,
" Yes."

It's been a week since I decided to learn from Genghis Khan,
During the past week, I've learned a lot of things.
I've learned the reason why Genghis Khan was so freakishly strong. It turns out that he had arrived in the forest long before with two others whose names he couldn't remember.
They were here a lot earlier, most probably a month ago. During the time they spent here their bodies got used to the ever-present 'mana' present in the forest. It was because of him utilizing mana that he could express such massive power.
I had gotten excited when I had learned about this..
I thought that I would become strong like him, but this place isn't that fair. As my body had just been introduced to the element known as 'mana', I couldn't use much of it. But I was told that once my body becomes stable... my mana would increase to its original capacity and it did. As I trained my body more and more, the mana inside me also increased but not by much.
But I was happy for the increase because every bit of mana counts and as it turns out I'm a born genius in using this thing called 'mana', even Master Genghis [ that's what he makes me call him] was surprised when he saw me use mana for the first time.
He told me that it took him a very long time to get used to the feeling of 'mana', but for me it felt like something as I always did. It felt as if I had regained something I lost a long time ago.
But the way I used mana didn't matter all that much since the quantity I had was so little.
Another thing I learned was that after staying here for a long time Master unlocked his 'Occupation'. I don't know the exact details but master's occupation is something called 'Weapon Master'. It made him adept at using all kinds of weapons.
According to Master, he awakened to his job in a time of crisis. So, the same rule must apply to me as well… but I don't want to go through a crisis.
"Focus.", master's voice breaks me away from my thoughts.
We currently training in the art of Bökh or should I just call it wrestling because that's exactly what it is. It's a rough and dangerous art that is very hard to practice. The master's been pummeling me up and down through the entire week. I was neither good not bad at… just average.
Mixing Bökh with the spear gave birth to a whole new martial art. Master said that I wasn't that talented in using the spear, he advised that I try using another weapon but I decided against it as the spear felt more comfortable to me.
'Thud'
I fall down to the ground, master had just head-butted me, I feel great pain but get through it and stand back up.
"You've improved… but not enough.", master says in a disappointed voice.
"I'll train harder, master.", I say trying to catch my breath.
"That's good… but you don't have much time left here… so I suggest you focus on trying to mix mana with the new art, that should boost your strength to the level of master on its own…. without that you're worse than a beginner."
I wanted to shout,
'I AM A BEGINNER YOU DUMB FUCK.'
But I don't cause…. respect your teachers right and also, he could kill me very easily, so….
"That's enough for today, let's go look for your teammates.", master says.
That's right.
We had no idea were the rest of my team was. After causing all that chaos, master had just picked me up and left. During the past week, we've been searching for them but it was no use as we couldn't find any trace of them. Master reassured me that we would bump into them some time soon. It was bound to happen.
Today as well, we set out on our search for my lost teammates. But I wasn't that keen on finding them. But I had no choice other than to find them since the game won't end untill I kill Elsa.
We travelled quickly through the huge forest hoping to meet them today. But even after four hours of searching we didn't even catch a glimpse of them.
"Let's just go back.", I say in a tired voice.
I've been training since morning and I'm tired. My whole body feels sore and I just want to go back and rest for some time.
"If that's what you want.", master says.
We turn around and start heading back but stop in our tracks as we hear-
"AHHHHHHHHH"
A bloodcurdling scream.
Master and I glance at each other and nod at each other.
~~~
We slowly edge over to where the scream originated from.
As soon as we what the commotion was, my mouth hanged open from shock.
I saw some people that I recognized, namely Eric, Anya and Michael.
They were all looking down at the bloodied body of a man.
The man was undoubtably dead,
As soon as my eyes fell the man, a screen appeared,

Devil's advice: I would say to run but why don't you try your luck, Even I don't like this guy.

They managed to kill one of the 'monsters' !
Amazing… but it looked like Eric had done most of the work as he was the only one that appeared wounded. The other two stood behind him like little rats.
I'm once again amazed at the sheer power that he showed and he hadn't even mastered mana yet. Goosebumps rise up on my skin as I think about the fact that I was going to have to fight him in the near future.
Let's not think about that for now, I raise my hands to get their attention but stop midway be-
'Slash'
A look of shock passes through Eric's face as he was stabbed by…. Michael. Michael doesn't stop and continues to stab Eric with his dagger. Eric tries to turn around but fails as pain and fatigue from the previous fight catches up with him.
He slowly falls down to his knees, just then three arrows pierce his body.
Anya had shot him with her crossbow.
Eric uses all the energy he had left to ask a single question.
"W-why ?"
A smug grin passes over Michael's face as he looks at the dying Eric.
"Well, it's because you're a threat to us."
Anya has a hint of a smile on her face as she hears Michael's words.
"That's right…. you are a threat.", she says silently.
" Wha-", Michael starts to say something but couldn't complete whatever he was saying as a sharp pain struck him..
He looks down to find that two arrows had pierced his body.
Michael turns around to find Anya smiling innocently at him.
" You b-itch.", with those words he falls to the ground.
Anya has a frown on her face.
"Well isn't that rude ?", saying this she proceeds to take the arrows from his body and kicks him to death.
I stare at her with only one thought in my mind,
'What the fuck ?'
