Chapter 3 - Chapter 3. Majestic Man

"Ughhh…. What was that?"

Kim looked at the majestic man,

"What did you do?" Kim in shock forgot that he probably didn't understand him, that is until the majestic man replied back,

"You can finally understand me huh?"

The man shocked Kim,

"Huh w-what's? What's going on?"

"I cast a spell on you, it makes you able to understand my language."

"How did you know to do that? How did you know I couldn't understand what you were saying?" Kim ask the man,

"I mean by the way you are dressing, that's not normal"

"You also signal that you have no idea what I am saying."

"????" Kim was more confused than ever,

"I mean yea but how did you come up with that conclusi-"

"Enough with the question, do you want to escape or not?"

"No…. I just want to stay tied up for the rest of my whole life, of course, I want to escape!"

Kim says in a cunning voice.

The majestic man rolled his eyes to what Kim just say, he thought to himself why don't I just leave this man by himself?

The majestic man let out a long sigh,

"But before we do anything else, why don't we introduce ourselves?"

"I don't want to just call you a random name."

Kim hesitated for a second but there's no harm in introducing yourself, right?

"Yea, you're right"

"I am Kim Mugen and I am 19 years old, I was recently going to my first class in college until I somehow got here…."

"Kim M-Mugen?!?!" Kim don't know why, but the man hold in his laugh after he heard his last name.

The man was on the verge of laughing.

"What a g-great name." the man said while trying to hold in his laugh.

Kim felt as if he shouldn't told this man his last name and that when they both escaped he would punch him just for laughing at his name,

"Ok ok IT'S a good name…. in context…" Kim said in embarrassment, Kim don't like his last name, it sound funny and it just don't fit him,

"Enough about me, what about you" Kim said.

Kim says in embarrassment, once he finds out the majestic man's name, he will poke fun at it.

The Majestic man caught a gist of what Kim was thinking of,

"I'm good, I just wanted to know your name." he says with a huge grin on his face.

"W-what?!? Why? no fair!!!"

"I'm just joking with you."

He says with a smirk,

"I am Vas Allen, I am also 19 years old and unfortunately I do have some questions for you but I'm going to stop at that…"

Kim saw that Vas Allen looked scared, almost as if he didn't want to reveal anything about himself. Kim also thought to himself "Vas Allen?!?! That is such…. a COOL NAME!" Kim thought.

"Why does this man get to both have a good face and name?" Kim thought out of jealousy.

"Why hello Vas Allen…" He said in jealousy tone.

"Why hello Kim…. Mugen…." poking fun at his last name.

Kim was still embarrassed at what his parents chooses for his last name and to make it worse, Vas Allen the person he just meant was making fun of it.

"Argh just call me Kim… it's better that way" Kim said annoyed at Vas Allen.

"Ok Kim…" Vas Allen said with a smirk.

"Ok-ok enough joking around, what your plan for escaping?"

Vas Allen stayed quiet then proceeded to said,

"I don't have a plan… I thought you did…"

Kim was shocked, he let out this face of shame toward Vas Allen and replied back with,

"What? Why were you acting all high and mighty when escaping came into play?"

Vas Allen stay quiet.

"And what even are these little guys?" Kim said finally acknowledging the little people.

"You don't know?" Vas Allen said,

"They are known as gremblings, weak and annoying when they are alone but deadly when they are grouped up together."

"And by the looks of it, we can't do nothing as these guys are ruthless."

"What do you mean by ruthless?"

"These little gremblings have no mercy for any kind of life… even to their kinds."

"They will kill any living thing without any remorse… also their speed is troublesome.."

"Then why are we still alive?" Kim asked Vas Allen.

Vas Allen replied back with "Do you want us to be dead?"

"… No." Kim said all quietly.

Vas Allen seeing Kim worry face, said to him,

"But we're only alive because we are probably a sacrifice" Trying to calm him down and give him a bit of relief but it work the opposite.

"S-sacrifice?" Kim shouted out.

Luckily the little people was not near them anymore, they had gone somewhere in the huge tent.

"They are mostly known for their worshipping to their God" replied Vas Allen.

"Their God?"

"Yeah, they have a God they worshipped."

"Do you know what their God looks like?" Kim asked of Vas Allen but he dodged Kim's question.

"…. We are getting sidetracked, we should find a way to escape." Vas Allen bringing the topic of escaping back onto the plate.

Kim was about to repeat the question but he knew that Vas Allen was right,

"Can't you just use different spells to escape?"

"Just like the one you cast on me?" Kim asks.

"I can't…" Vas Allen said in shame tone.

"Huh, why not?"

"For me to cast a spell, a higher spell at that, I would need to make some requirements to cast them."

"Then how did you even cast the first spell?"

"Also you don't have to cast higher level spells…."

"Did they not teach you about magic spells in school?"

Kim in his mind thought "No they didn't teach me anything as I am not from this world!"

"Uhhh I didn't pay attention…." Kim said all jokingly. Vas Allen shrugged off Kim awkwardness and said,

"Hmm alright… I'm embarrassed to say this but… I don't know many basic magic spells…."

"Basic spells?"

The words caught Kim attention.

Vas Allen didn't say anything.

"Why not just cast regular spell then?"

"For me to cast any of the spells I know, I would need to use both my hands, while basic spells only require me one hand to cast."

"Anything spell that's above basic requires two hands to cast, as well as they need requirements to successfully cast it."

"So there are no other spell you can use?"

"Mhm."

Kim stares at Vas Allen.

"…."

"We are screw…. aren't we?"

"No wait, luckily while we were talking, I thought up a way to escape."

"Really..? What do we need to do?!"

"So what we first do is to-"

A large horn sound echoes throughout the whole forest.

The gremblings started their rituals, there both Kim and Vas Allen saw an elder grembling walking out on stage.

There the Elder Grembling says…

"Here we will start the ceremony!"

Shocking both Kim and Vas Allen.

Kim looked at Vas Allen "Why didn't you tell me, that they understand us?" Kim said.

"T-they can't…."

Kim can see the fear growing on Vas Allen's face,

"Huh? What did you just say?"
