Chereads / Old world / Chapter 3 - Chapter 2

Chapter 3 - Chapter 2

Kanji woke up, but this time he didn't have any nightmares.

Which seemed strange to him because no matter how many times he begged for the nightmares to stop, they didn't stop, but now they suddenly stopped for no particular reason.

At that moment, he felt a strange power coming from his body.

He felt a calmness, a relief and a tremendous strength within him.He wondered what this feeling is and the power inside of him.

Did he finally awaken?Will his life be better now?

Those were the thoughts that made his mind a complete mess.Filled with excitement he took a stance like the monks on the mountain and began to meditate and call the strange power,but it didn't matter,no matter how hard he tried he couldn't sense his core still and then the strange feeling was gone.

As soon as he came to his senses, he realised that he was late for work.He quickly wore his worn out clothes and sandals and ran straight to the bakery as fast as he could.

"You are late."A young woman with blonde fairy-like hair that looked like she was around her twenties said.

K:"I'm so sorry for being later,Ms Rebekah."He said in his hoarse voice

R:"You came here running again?" She said looking at him with a smile

K:"Yes,I'm sorry."He said for the second time but she didn't understand why he was saying sorry every time he did something.

Ms Rebekah,her fairy-like appearance is from her hometown,the elf kingdom.Her reasons for walking in a bakery and earning less than 3 silver coins which are 300 normal coins.

He put on his robe and started working as usual.

5 hours went by in a flash.

"Work time is over!Clean the place and go home."The old man that owned the bakery said to his two young employees

They cleaned up,took their bags and went straight back home.

As he was walking back home he heard a scream,a woman's scream.

Kanji got scared. He didn't know what to do but he mustered up the courage and followed the scream.He followed the scream for almost an hour but couldn't find anything.

Even if he found the screaming woman and she needed help, what could he do?His strength was below average and his agility was even worse.But despite all that he continued,until he ended up in a dark street with no lights and no sign of people living there.

Am I lost?Is what he thought.

And then suddenly 3 figures appeared,they all looked like highly skilled men.As they got closer he noticed a woman in one of their palms,they were holding her head.

K:"Ms rebekah!" He yelled in horror

"Hm?Are you friends?"One of the men said

and then continued,"We just had some fun with her that's all.Although her scream while I was having fun was quite annoying."

K:"Aren't you guys soldiers of this empire?You should protect people and not hurt them!"

"Hahahaha,so what?" The leader of the group said with a sinister grin on his face

K:"You guys aren't human."Kanji said with a angry expression

After what Kanji said, the leader seemed angry and rushed towards Kanji, punching him in the stomach with enough force to destroy an entire city.

Kanji's body flew 30 metres away and landed on a building,his stomach had a huge hole,the size of the leader's fists.

"She is the elf princess you damn brat,even though she is a genius in that so-called top academy,she is weak without her guards."He said

"No point in telling him boss,let's go."One of the members of the group said

They turned their backs and walked away,

At that moment,an immense pressure froze them,they tried to turn around to see who it was and saw the weak kid that they so easily beat down earlier as a demon coming out of his vessel to cause Chaos.
