Braun's POV
The bandit leader hardens his terrified expression before pulling out a sword and swinging it at me with immense force.
I have to admit, using a sword with one hand since his other is broken is quite the impressive feat.
But it certainly won't be enough to stop me...
With one simple tilt of my head I dodge the strike and touch the blade with the tips of my fingers, shattering it with the crackle of my blue lightning.
"W-what, this can't be happeni--"
I swiftly grab hold of the man's throat as I smirk coldly.
"Oh but it is, to my satisfaction by the way." I say before blasting him through the roof with a blue energy blast.
The strike is not enough to kill him, though injure him severely and probably give some head damage.
"You arrogant fool!" I can hear lackey #1 exclaim from behind me as he smashes a wooden broom into the back of my head, breaking the object easily.
This can't get anymore hilarious
"You seriously thought you could harm me with a broom?" I amusedly ask the angry albeit trembling man.
With one motion of my right hand, my blue aura strikes the lackey, sending him flying out the building with incredible force.
Finally, I turn to the remaining bandit, trembling in the corner of the room.
Wise man.
"You there, I let you and your friends live for one reason...go forth and tell the story of the legendary Braun Astern." I command before the man nods vigorously and sprints out of the bar.
That was fun.
"James and Emma was it?" I say with a bright smile, turning to an awestruck Emma and James.
"T-thanks, you were incredible, no commoner has been able to beat those local bandits for a while now." James replies before bowing his head towards me as my eyes widen.
"It's no problem really." I assure him as Emma's awestruck face slowly turns into that of rage.
She looks around the now wrecked bar, her right cat ear twitching above her blonde head.
"No problem, NO PROBLEM!?" Emma shouts before swiftly kicking me right in the crotch.
I'm done for...
I let out a piercing shriek, the pain enough to temporarily blind me as I fall to the ground on my knees. Meanwhile James pulls Emma by her cat ears and scolds her.
"Emma he just helped us!"
"Well who's gonna pay for these damage bills!?" She retorts angrily as I look up to her sheepishly.
"You almost killed me." I croak out, my voice hoarse from the attack.
Emma pinches the bridge of her nose as James helps me up.
"Look, I'm sorry for kicking your nutcase okay but James and I don't exactly have the money to repair all the damages you caused." Emma finally apologizes, her green eyes softening ever so slightly.
"I'm sorry about the property damage, guess I got a little too carried away." I respond before James pats me on the back.
"Let's get you some proper clothes on, other than just my jacket." James suggests sheepishly as I nod.
A few minutes later I get dressed into what James claims to be his pre teen clothes, which fit me perfectly.
I am an athletic 20 year old man for context.
Seriously, this man is a beast.
"Here." Emma says as she hands me the same broken broom the lackey hit me with earlier, although the broken pieces are now taped together.
"Let's clean up this place shall we?" She says as I nod and begin to sweep with her.
"You pack a strong kick you know." I have to admit as Emma smirks slightly.
"Before James took me in, I lived on the streets of Pazalia, I had to learn how to fight."
"Interesting..."
"You said your name was Braun right?" Emma inquires "How did you get here anyways?"
Ah, quite the story to tell isn't it?
"I actually got into a fight with Knights from Jasmine City." I reveal a bit too smugly as Emma gawks.
"W-what, you were in Jasmine city, the richest place in Esmeraldia!?"
"Yep, although for a very short period of time."
"Then did you get to see the famed Arielle Ravonna!?" She asks with wide eyes, her cat tail wagging excitedly from behind her.
"I fought with her briefly." I answer her proudly.
"You really are something else, your fighting skills and mana are incredible too, earlier today when the bandits were fighting with their lives...it seemed like it was all a game to you..." Emma says her eyes scanning over me with amazement.
"I am quite the specimen don't you think?" I ask playfully, turning my face to showcase my defined jawline before Emma flicks my head.
"Hey don't get all cocky on me." She says smirking as I feign pain.
"Ouch, that hurt so bad." I say sarcastically whilst Emma roles her eyes.
"You want me to remind you of what real pain feels like?" Emma asks, referring to her ruthless kick on my manhood.
"No ma'am." I reply stiffly, the memory enough to send shivers up my spine.
"Then get to work." She orders smugly as I immediately start sweeping.
"One more thing, where are you originally from?" Emma asks curiously.
"A far far away land." I vaguely respond, knowing she wouldn't believe me if I told her I was from another world.
Like, anyone would believe me if I said the very world they live in is based on a fantasy manhwa.
With a sigh, I step out of the bar and take out the trash after cleaning inside, however a nearby flyer catches my eye.
Tournament Of Esmeraldia
The heading reads, as I instantly remember a reddit spoiler about this event.
The Tournament Of Esmeraldia is a tournament where powerful warriors face against powerful adversaries from across the different cities.
But this being a fantasy manhwa, of course this didn't turn out to be your ordinary tournament, there was a very powerful character that caused trouble and wreaked utter havoc, his name Raymond Felix.
He was a foe to be reckoned with and certainly a challenge to the main cast.
But maybe not for me...
With a whopping prize gift of 500 Golden Coins, the earth equivalent of 10 Million US dollars, I make up my mind to join.
My body crackles with blue lightning as excitement courses through my veins.
In truth, this was all one exciting game to me, a thrilling experience that filled the void in my heart so snuggly.
But this was no ordinary game, this was certainly more dangerous however I was prepared for whatever this world may throw my way.
Raymond Felix, I sincerely hope you're prepared to face off against
The main protagonist...
