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 asks reluctantly

"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 is 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 school until I somehow got here…."

"Kim M-Mugen?!?!"

The man was on the verge of laughing

"What a g-great name" 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…"

"Enough about me, what about you"

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

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"

As he says with a smirk

"I am Vas Allen, I am also 19 years old and unfortunately I am 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 of out of jealousy

"Why hello Vas Allen…" as he said in jealousy

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

Vas Allen said to Kim as if the word Kim was replaced by Mugen

"Argh just call me Kim… it's better that way"

"Ok Kim…" as he says with a smirk

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

Vas Allen stayed quiet the proceeded to say

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

Kim as shocked as he was replied back

"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"

"You don't know?"

"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!"

"Then why are we still alive?"

"Do you want us to be dead?"

"… no."

"But we're only alive because we are probably a sacrifice"

"S-sacrifice?"

"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?"

Vas Allen dodged Kim's question

"…. We are getting sidetracked, we should find a way to escape"

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?"

"I can't…"

As he says in shame

"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…."

"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 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 is no other spell you can use?"

"Mhm"

Kim stares at Vas Allen

"…."

"We are screw…. ain't we?"

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

"Really..? How is that?!"

"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 say…

"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?"
