The slave traders starts looking for Sean as he had ran away after killing one of their men. Three of the men runs to direction from where the lightning spell came from and 2 decided to guard the carriage. Sean in this time had run around in circle and was now looking at the two men who were hiding behind the carriage instead of guarding it.
"Huff huff! T-This kind of thing isn't for me. Huff!"
Sean was out of breath after running across to the other side. The two men in his field of vision were oblivious of Sean.
"A spell to take out both of them" Sean thinks to himself.
"Can i use black magic too? But it will probably make me go mad."
Sean thinks about the right spell he can use in this situation with amount of mana he has. After around a minute he remembered the right spell to use.
"Oh wind, become my hands and suffocate my enemies!" he whispers.
A balls of wind appears around the two men's head and they begin to suffocate. One of the men throws a knife at a random direction, the knife then passes near Sean's head, startling him.
After around a min the two men then passed out due to suffocation.
"S-Should i kill them?" Sean asked himself.
After thinking for a min, he decided to not kill them. He then goes and unlocks the carriage door and finds Aurelia the elf woman from before, along with few other slaves. There were a total of 4 slaves including Aurelia. Sean then tells the slaves to run.
"W-What's going on?" Aurelia asked in a shaky voice.
"I am rescuing you 4, now hurry and run before those guys wakes up!" Sean says to the four.
The slaves then gets out of the carriage and starts running in the direction Sean pointed. Sean pointed in the opposite direction of where the other three traders went.
Sean followed the slaves after tying up the unconscious traders using the ropes that were being used on the slaves. The five ran continuously for 30 min before deciding to rest.
"W-Why did you save us?" asked one of the unnamed slave.
Sean looked at the slave. The slave was a boy that looked no older than 12, he had red hair and red eyes with a weird black scar type mark under his left eye. The mark looked like a horizontal sword if you focus enough.
Sean's eyes widen as he saw the mark.
"Blade God's curse" he accidentally said it out loud.
The red haired boy was confused by what Sean said.
Sean shakes his head.
"I saved you because i couldn't live with the guilt of not helping you when you were being taken to made into a slave. And isn't it right to help out someone in need" Sean said to the boy.
The response made the boy's eyes lit up.
"I see. My name is Vermillion. Just Vermillion" he says in a cheery voice.
"I am Sean." Sean says to Vermillion.
"Vermillion... I didn't write any appearance of him since he only appeared as a major antagonist but was off screened by Ed's allies. The only thing i wrote was about his sword like mark under his left eyes, this mark is actually the blade god's curse and makes it so that the cursed person can never ever use a blade in his life, not even a knife. It's a pretty annoying curse when it comes to cooking." Sean thinks.
"I-I am Aurelia, thank you for rescuing me" she says while still being on guard against Sean and other slaves.
"I am Sylvia W-, Just Sylvia" says a beautiful woman with blond hair, and blue eyes that seems to pierce into ones soul. She looked like she was around her mid twenties.
"Holy!? She's Kregres's dukes daughter! Sylvia Wordstone" Sean thinks to himself while panicking a little.
Kregres is the name of the kingdom that Sean is trying to reach. It's the kingdom that border's the great maze forest.
"I-I am J-Jean" says woman with brunette hair and brown eyes. she had a short stature compared to the others around her.
"A dwarf?" asked Sean.
"I-I am not a dwarf!" she says angrily while waving her hands around like a child.
"Adorable" Sean thinks.
Sean a man of iron will and great determination was in fact weak to cute things.
"Hey, how old are you?" Vermillion asked Jean.
"Hmph! I am 16! and i am still growing." She says proudly.
Sean was looking at Jean who's height was the same as Vermillion.
"How old are you?" Jean asks Vermillion.
Vermillion shyly says "9" which left Jean in shock.
"How are you nine and as tall as me!" Jean says
Vermillion shrugs and responds with an "i don't know."
The two continues to bicker as the adults watched.
"What were you doing in this forest, Sean?" asked Sylvia.
"I have no idea... I suddenly appeared here with no memories of my past" he replies without a hint of fear.
"So you opened your eyes in the forest and found out you lost your memories." Sylvia said.
"I was trying to get out of this forest when i saw Aurelia here, being dragged by those men." Sean replies.
"I see" Sylvia said. "Losing your memories isn't that uncommon since trauma to the head or mages with mind control spells can erase your memories" Sylvia thought to herself.
"Mister Sean reminds me of the Spirit God that watches over and guides the people who have lost out of forest." Vermillion says in a cheery tone.
"Spirit God? In what sense do i resemble him?" Sean asks Vermillion.
"You saving us from those guys by appearing out of no where. And my mother used to tell me that the Spirit God had white and gray eyes and very ghost like appearance." Vermillion says to Sean.
"White hair and gray eyes? what does that have to with me?' Sean says while being confused.
"Did you forget what you looked like too?" Sylvia asked Sean.
"No? I am pretty sure i have black hair and brown eyes" Sean says.
"Uhh actually, your hair are white and your eyes are grey." Aurelia tells Sean.
Sean was shocked to find out his appearance has also changed after getting in his own novel.
