"This is getting out of hand" Vorden was relieved that he wouldn't be breathing his last breath but things were going to far. "Fine sure, I guess."

Immediately Vorden replied his consciousness was transported to somewhere else. Where he was was dark and covered with shadows

"Haven't you grown up?" a familiar voice said.

"Whose that?" Vorden squinted his eyes to see the person.

"Save your mom." Appearing from the shadows was a man who looked middle-aged.

"Dad..." Vorden was in a state of shock.

Before Vorden could process what was going on his consciousness was transported back to the room.

Vorden was on the brink of going insane. The father he was told had died before he was born appeared in front of him. And his mother who supposedly left him was actually missing. This was just too much to process.

*ROOKIE COMBAT INITIATED*

All of a sudden he was transported into an arena.

"It is my lucky day. It looks like I got paired with a newbie" standing in front of him was a colossal giant 10 feet tall. "Let's get this show on the road" The giant lift up an axe. The giant was donned with armor from head to toe.

SWISH!

The giant swung the axe at Vorden. "THE HECK!" not wasting any time, Vorden immediately turned the other way and ran.

SWISH! SWISH! BOOM!

The giant unleashed an onslaught of attack relentlessly at Vorden, but he was in no mood to fight some one that is ten times his size. His main priority was running, dodging and ducking.

"Fight like a man you twerp." The giant speed increased. He moved faster, slide stepping to Vorden side proceeding to give a right swing to his neck.

"Don't give me that be a man stuff. You are literally 100 pounds heavier than me. Why would I fight you when I can run" Vorden proceeded to jump landing on the axe. He ran across it jumping off from the handle. "Catch me if you can?"

And so commence the game of cat and mouse. The giant would attack while Vorden will dodge and run.

"Booo!"

"You are disgrace to men everywhere"

"It is better to die like a man than run like a chicken"

"Come on, fight him head on"

The crowd watching the fight started criticizing him. But Vorden couldn't care less. They didn't understand his situation, if he died once, that was it. There was no coming back from that.

After a long relentless pursuit, the giant began to tire. "You twerp" with a burst of energy the giant attacked hitting Vorden square in the gut.

"Hghu" Vorden reeled in pain, coughing up blood. He fell to the ground.

"You think you could run away forever. Don't worry, I will make your pain quick and painless." The giant raised is leg and was about to squash Vorden into a pile of human waste.

'What now? I think this is the part that I start thinking that this is the end.' Vorden looked up at the leg. 'Whooo, my life is flashing before my eyes already. I guess maybe this is the part I say "Is this the end?". My life was quite short and weird' Vorden accepted his fate.

"We can't all be winners." He said under his breath closing his eyes.

"Save your mom....mom....mom"

BOOM!

The feet dropped. Pressed on the hard feet Vorden eyes went blank.

"Weak. So weak. All he new how to do was to run. He should not be able to survive that." The giant scuffed. He began to walk away from the body.

"Chotto mate" a voice rang.

"Oh! You manage to survive that. I'm impressed but aren't you a little tired. You know you won't be able to be at me so give up." The giant preparef his axe. "Just log out"

Vorden eyes was still blank and white. "I am going to be the David that brings down Goliath" he said in a low and dark tone.
