Chapter 2 - Chapter 1: Will To Live

*haa...haa*

Running with all my strength, I tried my best to keep on moving, but I couldn't so I eventually fell.

Setting my back on a large tree, I crouched down, taking in deep breaths.

*haa...haa"

I was tired, my mental strength having run low due to how long I hadn't fallen asleep, my eye lids threatening to close.

But i shook it off, knowing that if I fell asleep, I would die, due to the wild animals and monsters currently present in this forest I was currently hiding in.

I hadn't eaten in two weeks, running for my dear life as I knew that if I stopped moving, 'he' would catch up to me.

But having not having eaten and slept in two weeks, I could barely move.

"Why did my life...*haa...haa*...end up like this". I thought, feeling the urge to cry.

"Hmm?". My thoughts were interrupted by the rustling sound coming from the bushes. I got up ready to Sprint off for the fear that 'he' had caught up to me.

But I was about to bolt off, I saw what laid hidden in the bushes

"A wolf?"

My quickly beating heart slowly calmed down as I saw the wolf, but I still kept my guard up as I knew that I wasn't really free from danger.

And I was right to keep my guard up as the wolf sudden bared it's fangs, showing it's sharp teeth as it looked at me, as if having seen it's prey.

Then it moved, pouncing on me with such speed that I never knew animals could moved in.

'Shit, this isn't good!'.

I couldn't react on time due to how tired I was, therefore the wolf's attack reached me and I watched in horrow as I watched the wolf move it's teeth towards my left arm, and it closed it's jaw hardly.

*crunch crunch*

"ARGGH!".

A scream erupted from my lips as I felt the sharp teeth tearing my flesh and biting my bones. I gritted my teeth, fighting against the pain.

I couldn't let the pain overcome me and cloud my thoughts. 'Keep calm, your a martial artist'. I reminded myself.

"You stupid dog, your dead".I told it.

*crack crack*

"GRRR". The wolf as if having understood my thoughts bit harder, as if trying to rip my left arm off: but I couldn't allow that.

Gritting my teeth against the pain, I gathered aura into my right arm.

*SMACK*

Then I struck the wolf in it's stomach causing it to loosen it's bite on my arm for a split second.

Taking advantage of that time, I quickly moved my left arm which gave me great pain.

Rotating my body, I sent the aura covering my arm to my leg, then after gaining enough momentum I kicked the wolf with all my strength on it's head, causing most of it's teeth to fall off.

*BOOM!!*

"AWOOO!!!*. The wolf let out a pain filled cry to it's surrounding as I watched it cough out blood due to the damage.

"haa...haa, even if I look like this..haa..haa, im still a martial artist".

Due to being a martial artist, I could use an energy called 'aura, which is used for strengtening the physical abilities of a body, or for increasing the killing power of a weapon.

If I were at my peak I could have killed this wolf easier but due to how tired I was, I could only resign to fight with my great effort but I knew: this beast wasn't my match.

Walking towards the wolf, I gathered aura in my arms.

"At the end, you became my meal....goodbye".

Then I punched the wolf on it's head, breaking it's skull, which released a gush of blood. I watched as the blood flowed out, and it's corpse quicky loosing it's warmth

'If I weren't careful, that would be me'. I thought, as a chill ran down my spine with thought of becoming the wolf's lunch had I let down my guard.

I was interrupted from my thoughts when a stinging pain came from my left arm.

"ouch ouch, damn it all". I said as I collapsed near the corpse, gently sending aura towards the wound with the hoping of closing.

After a few minutes, the flow of blood from my wound finally stopped. Although not fully healed I could manage

*Now then back to business, time to eat", I said walking towards the beast. Sending aura into my finger tips, I molded it into the form of a blade and pierced the beast.

*STAB*

*RIIIIIIIIIP*

Ripping the corpse open, I couldn't help but smile greatly. I hadn't eaten in weeks so this was going to be my first decent lunch.

'Now all I have to do is cook...this'. I thought until my mood took a complete 180° turn. My happiness turned to despair when I realised that....I had no flame to cook this.

"AHHHHHH, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG IS WITH ME!!!" I yelled finally realising once again that I was stupid. Due to my hunger I couldn't think properly, hence I didn't once think how I would cook the damn beast

"If I had realized this earlier I wouldn't have fought the stupid beast; I would have simply run". I said thinking about how stupid I was to have wasted my time fighting this thing.

I sat down, staring at the wolf corpse in silence.

A couple of minutes passed by as I just stared blankly at the wolf, until I stood up and approached it.

"Well, it's not good to waste meat like this". I said, saliva running down my mouth as I looked at my the meat in front of me.

Moving my mouth towards the bloody meat, I bit it off chewing it. I resisted the urge to vomit as slowly ate the meat. Before I realized it, tears were flowing down my cheeks.

*munch munch*

'it taste's like crap...how disgusting' I thought, but I still kept on eating, chewing on it before finally swallowing it

"Gross". I said, before taking another bite and eating it.

I had no choice, if I wanted to get my revenge and fight back, I had to get stronger.

To get stronger I had to survive.

And to survive, I had eat.

Therefore I would suffer for now, but later on, I would come back, and have my revenge.
