Kael froze as the mages and swordsmen targeted him with their weapons. In the mages' hands, fireballs sizzled; swordsmen's blades shone in the faint light.
*This is actually a goddamn catastrophe, Kael found as his brain sped. * What do I do now?
Tall man with a long beard, the mage faced the swordsman next to him. Erik, I had never seen a beast quite like this. It appears like humans.
The swordsman, Erik, narrowed his eyes. This thing? What what the hell is this thing?
Kaels' eyes opened up. Wait, I can hear them?
**[Anis: sir, Ive made it possible for you to grasp and communicate their language. ]**
Kael grinned. *Nice. *
Hey! Im human! Dont shoot! He yelled, his hands still dripping with orc blood.
The hunters gave each other surprised looks.
One of them murmured a monster that could talk?
Kael groaned. No, no! Im a human! Please, dont shoot!
Erik moved closer, his sword pointed at Kaels chest. Should you be a talking monster, that means we've captured something priceless.
Kaels patience broke. Monster? Me?
Kael growled. "You believe I'm a monster? "
Kael grabbed the blade of Erik's sword before Erik had time to respond. One flick broke it into bits.
The hunters gasped. Erik fell backward, his face white.
Kael's tone cold indicated, "My past life was hell. " But this time, I won't repeat the mistakes.
The wizards flung their fiery bullets. Dodging every blow, Kael moved like a lightning bolt.
"What the hell? ! " the mage yelled. This sort of pace is impossible!
Another swordsman pounced Kael, but Kael smoothly sidestepped.
Telekinesis, Kael muttered.
All of the hunters were slammed onto the ground in an instant by an unseen power. Though they battled, they were unable to move.
His eyes black with fury, Kael approached them.
"You got a big mouth, huh? " he uttered quietly.
A memory flashed in his brain as he drew near.
- The Past
Heart racing, Kael stood in front of a girl in his school.
He stammered, "I love you."
The girl sighed. Sorry, Kael. I already have a boyfriend.
Brad, her boyfriend, was the school's star athlete.
Kaels heart dropped. He strode to the washroom, gazing at his reflection in the glass.
Brad suddenly rushed in, his face contorted with fury.
Hey, Kael, Brad sneered. I heard you proposed to my girlfriend.
Kaels voice shook. I, as a matter of fact,
Brad stopped him from finishing. He hit Kael in the face repeatedly. Kaels vision faded and his nose bled, but he did not weep.
You jerk! Brad yelled, "If you ever look at her again, I'll kill you! "
Some boys took Brad away, but the harm was already done. Though bruised and broken, Kael's face lacked any expression. He sat on the ground.
The Now
Kaels opened his eyes sharply, his fists clenched.
You believe I am a monster? he remarked, his voice shaking with wrath. You have no idea what I have endured.
From his telekinesis, he liberated the hunters. They raced to their feet with terrified faces.
Who who was that? one of the hunters murmured.
The mage, shaking, said, We have to tell the guild. The guild will share the news with the king.
Erik murmured, That guy was not average, holding the hilt of his shattered blade.
The hunters turned around, their eyes always fixed on Kael.
Kael watched them leave, his face impassible.
Anis, he said softly. What now?
Anis: Host, you have left an impression. ]
Kael sighed, *This world is just as complex as the last one.*
