Chapter 2: Gain and a Lost

  Its been 8 hours have passed since Jade leave his Town of Soner.

  Peeking at the right open window Jade asked the knight who's guarding the right side of carriage, "Hey, how long before we reach the next Town?"

  The knight who's riding a horse replied, "We'll be reaching the next town in 30 minutes, do you need something sir?"

  "Nothing, just asking." Jade respond and he thought, "They respect the people who choose by the Academy, only because these people who found Magic Stone Tablets are the only hope of the humanity to fight the corruptions."

  What is corruptions you asked? Its something caused by the fight between Gods, the fight that shake the whole world causing the land to emerge forming a large piece of combine land.

  And about Magic Stone Tablets, base on what I learned from game story it's a God soul or soul fragments scattered across everywhere but only few was found in human continent, also the humanity only manage to take over 20 percent of the combine land.

  There's a total of 5 place in this world- Kingdom of Gold, Silver, Bronze, Citizens Country and the Corrupted Zone.

  Kingdom of Gold the place where the Academy located and trained soldiers to fight the corruptions.

  Kingdom of Silver the place where 95 percent of humanity food was farm and harvested there.

  Kingdom of Bronze the place where every item was crafted and brought also the place most items are crafted with corrupted characteristics.

  Citizens Country where normal peoples lives and the humanity last barrier.

  And the Corrupted Zone an unknown place where the fight between Gods took placed.

  Jade thought about the first time he stepped into the Corrupted Zone, "The Corrupted Zone huh? I remember my first gameplay I was bewildered on how everything is Corrupted or Mutated, hell even the sun flower have a face and mouth that will shallow you alive then turned into fertilizer."

  "There's also a cow size mosquito that'll sucked you dry in a minute." Jade begun to sweat on how they'll look in real life.

  Few minutes of silence inside of carriage the coachman called "We're here."

  Jade stopped thinking about the terrifying corrupted creatures, and peeked outside and saw a huge wall covering an entire town.

  The coachman arriving at the front gate show his identity card at armored man and the armored man hand over the ID card inside of small line hole, "We have been verified your Identity you can now entered the town."

  The 3 storey giant gate begun opening inward and revealed many houses also people curiously staring at now moving carriage.

  The carriage moved fast and arrived at reserve Inns that the Academy provided. The coachman opened the carriage door and Jade step out of it.

  Jade looking around spotted people stared at him curiously but he ignored them and entered the inn.

  "Jade the inn employees already prepared a food for us lets eat." Said by coachman as he guided Jade into the inn diner room.

  After filing his stomach Jade goes into the first room next to staircase, entering the room he opened the wooded window to feel some fresh air.

  Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

  Jade thought, "There's a one Magic Tablet in this town, but it'll trouble some to get my hands into, since it's where a gang groups is at." Jade then decided.

  Jade open up his bag and found two small sharp dagger given by his father, "It's around 30cm not bad I could hide it under my jacket sleeves, now lets take it shall we?" Wearing a black jacket with hood and steel mask that Jade requested to his confused father but still make it for him and painted it to make it look like smiling clown or a smiling demon?

  Locking the room door and jumping out of the window, Jade walk into an alley and disappeared.

  After few minutes of wondering around alley he found his target, "Just like in the game an abandoned house with secret underground bases and two people guarding it with hidden knife in their waist." Blending into the nearby tall grass Jade made his move.

  Hearing a footsteps one of the guy asked his friend, "Hey marco did you hear something walking?" The other guy respond, "No, but you can check it." The guy nodded then walk into the tall grass.

  Jade who's hiding next to the guy snach him and slide his dagger into the man throat while covering the man's mouth with piece of cloth.

  Jade expressionless stared at the mans crying face while the man also staring at his mask with a mix fear and horror, "pl..se d..n.t...... h...e...p m.....e m...r.......co." a minute later the man's stop struggling and Jade let go of his mouth then clean the blood on the man shirt.

  "One more." Jade throw a rock on opposite of where he kill the man to attract the other guy, while the other guy attention was on loud sound, Jade threw his two daggers hitting and piercing the man throat and cheek.

  Dragging the other guy body into the grass Jade pick up his daggers and clean it on the man shirt, "Even in this world im still killing other humans huh." Jade muttered while walking and entered the broken house door.

  Looking around Jade spot the hidden lever under the floor mat, flicking it show a staircase leading underground at corner of the house.

  Entering the underground a hallway doors leading into different room can be seen, in one of the room Jade saw four people busy playing something on the table, Jade then took a small glass bottle inside of jacket.

  "A small amount of this Cyanide can kill a person quickly than they can called for help lucky its easy to get but not easy to stored this." Jade then goes into another room where a tea pot lay on table and he put half of the bottle into it then leave.

  After few minutes a person left the room and bring back a tea pot containing a hot tea.

  "It's been 5 minutes that should be enough." Jade walk into the room where he saw the people before, and saw four people laying on the floor having seizures.

  Stabbing the four people on their throat without fighting back Jade made his way to the end of hallway and noticed a prison cell with eight people inside of it.

  Looking at the naked womans with no sign of life in their eyes, Jaden then unlocked the door and approach them then asked them with hoarse tone, "I'll give you two options its either you will leave this cage or I'll end your suffering." The womans look at smiling mask of clown.

  "Can I even have a new life? Im already dirty and people won't accept my past." One of the woman crying asked the person a question.

  Jade respond with the same hoarse tone, "Don't force yourself to the person that'll abandoned you once they hear your story my dear, life isn't about staying in one side of the coin my dear be selfish do what made you happy not what made other people's happy, it's your lifes not theirs."

  Stepping out of the prison cell along side of five naked womans, Jade looked at the prison cell and shake his before continuing his way to door at the end of hallway.

  Jade thought, "The other three are far too broken to lived." Reaching the end of hallway and opening the door.

  A bedroom and a red haired girl tied to the bed with a piece of cloth on her mouth preventing her from making any noise.

  Noticing Jade the girl begun screaming and trying to break free but to no avail, she look at Jade mask with fear, "I'm not the one who kidnapped you so relaxed." Jade said with hoarse tone.

  Jade then approach the tied girl and cut the rope tying her, "So you're really not the bad guy?" Jade ignored the girl and begin searching on drawers.

  "Found it." Jade stared at thin palm size stone tablet and crush it, a golden rune text appear on his left hand before it disappear.

  Jade preparing to leave but a hand cling onto his jacket sleeve, "Hey don't leave me here, I'll reward you with so much money so please get me out of here." Jade stared at the girl and nodded.

  Leaving the room and passed by the prison cell the girl vomited on the floor and asked Jade, "What happened here? Why there's a burn human bodies?"

  Jade then replied with hoarse tone, "They're woman who been kidnapped like you and used as entertainment tool and they didn't have a will to lived so I freed them from suffering." The girl who once been kidnapped begun to shivers wondering what will happened if the man didn't help her.

  Jade thought, "though I kill them painlessly by breaking their neck I still feel bad for them."

  Outside of abandoned house seven people faced each other, "So while I called guards for help and arrest the still alive people behind this you guys wait here." Said by red haired girl before vanishing into the street.

  The five woman who now wear the clothes of killed kidnapper turned to Jade, "We are so thankful that we dont know how to repay you sir."

  "I also got what I need, there's no need to repay me." Jade then goes into the grass before vanishing as well.

  Few minutes the red haired girl comeback with a hundred guards and a maid, "Investigate the people behind this and torture them until they beg for death." Said by the red haired girl and turned to the womans, "where's the man? I promise to reward him."

  The woman replied, "Sir say he already got what he wanted and there's no need to repay him."

  The red haired girl thought, "I didn't even asked his name, when I see you again im going to repay you even if you decline it."

  Sneaking back in the inn room Jade remove his jacket and mask before placing them back in the bag.

  ~Knock ~Knock

  Jade open the door and see the coachman with relief on his face, "Jade it's time for dinner and im also glad that you're safe in your room."

  Jade expressionless asked the coachman, "Why? Im just resting in my room anything happens?"

  Coachman then respond, "Ah yes a week ago one of the young noble got kidnapped even with a hundred knight and only found an hour ago."

  "I see, then shall we eat the dinner?" Jade and the coachman arrived at diner room and eaten the food inn serve.

  Early in the Morning

  The carriage left the inn and prepare to leave the town, arriving at the town gate a red and golden color carriage accompany by hundred soliders riding a horse blocked the whole right side of the street.
