"Then it's finally revealed. To escape from the kingdom of hell, Ryul burnt his house to crips, pretending to be dead."
"He then ran away with the princess and both of them had a happy life ever after."
"Yai!" Rei's siblings exclaimed happily as they heard their favourite bedtime story come to an end.
"Good night, now sleep," Rei said as he started to give a good night kiss to them.
"Well, if I get in any trouble like the story, I will use this method," Nia said jokingly.
"Haha, as long as I am here, you won't be in any such trouble."
"But sure, use the plan as you fit, haha.", Rei laughed as he heard her say that.

"Where are they?" Rei asked with dead serious eyes.
It started raining. The sky resembled the dark nights, not even a single star could be seen as the clouds covered the sky entirely.
"Where…?"
Rei looked at the injured orc in front of him with killing intent seen in his eyes.
"I don't like to repeat myself. Where are they?", Rei asked as the drops of water continued hitting his head, drenching him bit by bit.
The injured orc and Rei seemed to be in a cave and the water droplets that were falling on Rei's head came from the roof of the cave which probably had some holes leading directly to the above surface.
Well, this was not the best cave where Rout lived, so it was bound to have some leaks.
Rei kept staring at the injured Orc.
Rather than asking why he killed his siblings, he continued to ask about their whereabouts.
Rei had checked the hut to see the dead bodies but surprisingly there were none. This made Rei a bit relieved.
No ashes nor anything else. In fact, the little toys that Rei had made for his siblings were missing – this indicated one thing – his siblings had probably escaped.
Just as he concluded this, he attacked the orcs that were laughing near the hut.
Well, earlier, he had shouted loudly like a mindless beast. The orcs had dashed towards him and he had done the same, but instead of charging at them, he dodged carefully and then entered the burning hut. Thus, he got the chance to check.
Regardless, he found the orcs chasing him and thus, turned back to teach them a lesson.
"I will kill you all!" He screamed as he dashed toward one of the orcs, while simultaneously grabbing his dagger.
Dagger?
Yes, he had picked up a dagger on the way from the battlefield where hundreds of orc bodies remained lifeless.
He still had some bottles of poison that he was given. He quickly opened the lid of the bottle and poured the black liquid on his dagger.
"Hahaha! That guy wants to fight with us! Let me show him his place!", The weakest orc of the three said as he laughed.
He dashed toward Rei while swinging his great sword. Rei felt light.
As mentioned, he was no longer in his previous body. It was a different body and right now, this new body made him somewhat fast.
He was able to dodge the great sword with a back flip while simultaneously throwing the dagger which was covered in poison toward the orc.
The orc was able to dodge the dagger with ease but at that time Rei threw another dagger toward the orc.
Two is better than one!
Rei had put another dagger in his inventory and didn't hesitate to use that either.
Of course, as he pulled the second dagger directly from the inventory, he didn't have time to lace it with poison.
The orc swung his great sword, slicing the already weak dagger in half. At that moment Rei dashed towards the first dagger that was on the ground.
He wanted to strike the orc with the first dagger, as the poison would significantly affect the orc, but the orc wouldn't let this happen easily.
The orc saw Rei stretching his arm and dashing towards the first dagger and ran towards Rei. The orc swung his great sword.
Rei this time, instead of a backflip, merely jumped forward.
He was about fifty centimetres above the ground.
As the orc had swung his word parallel to the ground, Rei felt that it was efficient to dodge this way. Indeed, he was successful in not only evading the attack but also getting a hold of the dagger that was a metre away from him.
The sword that the orc swung passed right below Rei, thus, he dodged it with ease. But…
But that was not all.
The orc not only missed, but he also lost his balance a bit.
Taking advantage of this, Rei swung his dagger at full force, inflicting a small cut, in fact, a very small minute cut because of his pitiful strength.
The cut didn't include the blood vessels, and hence, there was no blood loss, but a weird purpling of the skin was observed.
The orc didn't feel any exact pain and regained his balance. This time, he tried to swing his sword again, but Rei didn't give him any chance.
Rei swung his dagger multiple times around the body of the orc. Multiple purple scars were visible by now on the Orc's body.
Due to many strikes, a slight burning sensation arouse.
The orc didn't give any direct attention to this sensation and just thought about swinging the sword.
However, everytime he tried, the burning sensation would only increase.
Rei would continue to dodge and attack – all this happened in just a minute.
The remaining two orcs thought that the goblin was being toyed with, but they only realized what actually happened when they found the Orc throwing up black blood!
Yes, after multiple strikes, blood started to drip from the Orc's arms and legs. The blood was corroded and black.
The orc suddenly even threw up blood, which painted it's left palm with black dye…
"This…"
