Chapter 2 - VAMPIRE?

(You know you surprised me)

"Hmm?"

Kojo sat roasting the griffin meat on a fire he had conjured. He has tied his hair behind his head. Then,for the past six months he had hunted the beasts that inhabited the forest and had gained quite a number of new abilities.

( You managed to become the natural enemy of most beasts in the forest)

" Well if I want to avoid being kidnapped and being used for some crappy experiment"

He said take a bite Frome it's hamstring.

"What are my new abilities again?"

"Nah it's fine"

Kojo said tossing away the bone and getting to his feet. He raised his hand at the remaining meat and it was sucked into a portal.

"I've been in this forest for too long maybe I should start moving"

( Your finally listening to me and moving towards civilization)

" Nah this place is boring.Besides after killing the sage monkey I see the world in a new light"

(You mean that old blind monkey which thrashed you with a stick?)

Kojo cleared his coughed.

After mimicking the sages knowledge and experience he learned that there were two kinds of beasts;

Elementals which had element based abilities and Agressors whose abilities were more physical. He also learned more about the world.

(From a seven thousand year old monkey)

Sysia sang in his ear.

" Shut up"

Kojo said annoyed.

( Apparently this planet is called Gaea. It's a realm of magic ,spirits gods and demon lord's)

" So I got reincay into an RPG. Well if things go well I might run into a demihuman or even a succubus" he thought imagining them in his head his mouth watering.

" Just imagine all the new realms I could reach."

( Spoken like a true virgin)

" What! How did you.."

( Because I'm in your head you dummy. Don't worry it's not like I'm gonna tell anyone or anything)

She giggle

(*Blackmail*)

"Huh?"

( Nothing)

" Ok then let's move out"

A cloud appeared under his feet and he began to move throuy the trees.

" Reminds me of a skateboard"

( Your memories...)

" Yeah bits and pieces are comiy to me"

( So tell me,why do you store the bodies of the beasts you've killed so far in the void pocket?)

"So I can sell them for money once we reach the next town." He reached a path and stopped. He lookes to it's left and to it's right. He sniffed the air andtuened right following the path till he got to a stream. Feeling tired,he decided to cool himself in it. As he was in it ,he heard a scream. Hea heard it again and looked to face that direction. He made as if to move in that direction but thought better of it and went to wear his cloths.

He continued walking down the path till nightfall were he decided to camp.

"I think we should stop here"

( Whatever you say boss)

"Be serious"

( Yeah,yeah it's save I don't sensw any powerful aura around the surroundings)

Kojo made a fire and heated some of the griffin from the morning.He raised his hand at the bundle of sticks he'd gathered to light the fire when he heard something coming. He quickly kicked away the sticks and shot webs out of his fingertips to the nearest tree pulling himself onto it's branches. A girl burst out of the bushes. She wore a tattered cloak over a torn white dress. She had long golden blonde hair and was seemingly a teenager, the same age as Kogo's new body.Even thought she had bruises on her, Kojo found her beautiful face attractive

(Focus)

He snapped out of it and shifted his atty to the two men who were chasing her. One was a muscular bald man wieldy an axe. The other was a slime mage carrying a staff. Kojo looked at the girl again and noticed a wied looking collar around her neck. She tries to take it off but the eune on it lit up and she was electrocuted. The mage then fired a bolt of magic which struck her . His bald companion rushed forward and swung his axe knocking hee into a tree.

The men stood around her

" We've finally caught up with you" the mage said

"P-please let me go" the girl said weakly.

The buff man kicked her in the stomach. he kicked her again and again. The girl tried severally to ward off his kicks but in vain.

" That's enough" the mage said

"But I'm just getting started.."

The mage glared at him red energy crackling from his staff.

"We need her alive. But how much alive.."

He pointed his staff at her and electrocuted her with red lightning.

The girl screamed.

Kojo had had enough. He moved forward.

(Wait you don't know her. Are you really going to throw your life away because of some random chick?)

Kojo landed a few meters away startling the two men.Sysia groaned.

( Boys honestly I just can't understand them)

"Good evening" Kojo said straightning up.

" Who the hell are you" the bald one asked.

"Just the guy who's gonna whoop your asses for picking on this gorgeous lady" he said winking at the girl who just looked at him in surprise.

"What the hell is he saying"

"I never thought we'd meet a madman Al the way out here." The mage said pointing his staff at Kojo. The fired a blast at him but Kojo just blocked with his palm.

" What! You should be incenerated.Theres.nk way you'd be able to survive rank 3 lightning magic " the mage said taking a step back in shock. The bald man threw a knife at Kojo but he caught it between his fingers before it could take out his eye.

" Who the hell are you?

A crystal spike suddenly shot from Kojos palm and hit the bald one piercing his shoulder and pinning him to a tree.The Crystalization ability of the emerald mole is quite interesting. Not only can it totally harden it's body ,but it can also manifest crystal spike to defend itself

A neat ability if you ask me"

"Die!"The mage fired at him but he dodged the attacks he knocked him back and ducked to avoid an axe swing from the bald one.

"Run"

Kojo shouted at the girl as he fought.He caught the axe and moved turning so that the bald one would be a shield against the mages magic. The girl got up and made for the forest. He did a backflip so that a blast of lightning moved last him and hit the bald man burning him . Kojo took the axe from the body before kickiby it at the mage who dismantled it with a blast if lightning. Kojo dashed forward and caught the staff and sent the mage into a tree with a palm strike.He then raised it above his head and broke it against his knee. He turned and saw the girl watching from behind a tree

" I told you to run-"

A strong force presed down on him forcing him into the ground. The force intensified and the ground under him began to crack.

" I don't know who sent you butI can see that you're a very skilled fighter. You however made the mistake of underestimating your opponents."

The force intensified. The mage dragged the girl from behind the tree and wiping the blood from his mouth,came to stand in front of Kojo. He tried to raise his head."Did you really think destroying my staff would weaken me when you knew fill well that I was a dual elementalist?" Kojo was losing consciousness.

"No matter how good you are you can't fight against gravity " the force increased even more , suffocating Kojo.

"Now, die"the mage said raising his hand and about to clench his fist. Kojo noticedthey fear int he girls eyes.

(Hang with me)

Sysia was pleasing in his head but her voice was slowly fading. His eyes were slowly closing.

"Don't die"

He saw the girl pleasing with tears in her eyes.

"Please don't die !"

The mage pulled her by the hair

" You shut up"he said

(( Hound))

With the last of his effort Kojo managed to leap toward the mage.

He made a slash at the throat of the girl with his clawed left hand before collapsing .

The mage walked over to him

" You have some will you bastard." He said taking a knife out of his robe

"But your road ends here" he said raising about to strike.

The collar fell to the ground witha clink."hmm?" The mage turned. The girl stood with her head bowed. Her hair covering her face but exposing hee mouth.All her bruises and wound began to heal. She smiled exposing her sharp fangs

"Crap" the mage said in fear and tried to run but he was lifted up into the trees.

Kojo could hear his screams and some ripping sounds from a distance.

" Well,this sucks" he said tryi to get to his feet but his body unresponsive.

( If only you has listened to me all this wouldn't have happeny)

" Well I'm fine now

( No you're not .You have fractured and broken bones plus internal bleeding )

"Ill live so please let me sleep"

(Initiating System Shutdown)

Kojo's vision began to blur. He suddenly felt handa turn him and his head rsstiy in something. Hw saw the girl looking down at him. Though he couldn't hear what she was sayiy ,he was pretty sure her lips moved to say .

Thank you.

He noticed the fangs

"Vampire?"

He wondered as she brought her face close to his and he blacked out.
