Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Savior

The tiger walked around me, panting with hunger and a strange sadism, as it continued to circle me leaving behind a trail of blood with each of its steps. Sniffing the air as if it could smell my fear radiating like a seasoning.

I couldn't hold on any longer, trying to decide to run away, fight the monster, or just sit still and die, I couldn't choose the third option I knew I couldn't so I had to choose one. The stress overwhelming a wet sensation starts to arise from my pants, losing focus, the pungent smell of the blood reeking and attacking my sense of smell. 

In the moment that the creature opened its maw further closing onto my exposed neck, I focused all my strength I had into running ahead.

Surprised by the sudden change of pace, it was startled by me, as I started to run faster, faster and faster. Unsure of what to do, I just kept running screaming on out so that anyone, someone, and some being could save me.

The tiger leisurely walked at its own pace, multiple times it caught up to me in a second, no matter where or how far I ran… fuck what do I do, I'm just a sitting duck… I can't do shi…

I felt the sensation of my right arm being pierced through, my bones cracking with a loud crack as a gigantic bone pillar seems to have pierced through the ground and through my entire right arm. The pain came all at once an overwhelming shock that drowned out thought, as if every nerve in my body was screaming in unison. Blood poured freely as my skin was split open, muscles stretched and torn almost entirely from my torso, leaving a nauseating scene of a few strands of muscles barely holding onto my torso, my mind barely able to comprehend that the arm was still attached at all.

A moment of calmness. As I immediately dropped onto the ground screaming my entire lungs out, the bone pillar dropping back into the ground as I could see the tiger roar out, a seemingly sadistic one, I'm not sure how I know it but I can feel it enjoying my suffering, a true and complete monster.

The cold wind which I enjoyed entrapping my body, my vision flashing in and out as multiple memories flash through my eyes, my mother and father holding me, the pain I had gone through to get to where I am, the laughs, the supposed smiles…

In an extremely hoarse voice I mutter out "the first step on the path never traveled is pain, only when you overcome the pain can you surpass your limit" this was the saying. This is what I tried to live by.

My body moved on its own, I saw my torn arms that continued to slowly tear even the strands that connected it to my torso. 

I swung closing my eyes as I yelled out "BLOOD ART, FIRST FORM THE ART OF EXECUTION!" Mimicking the move that popped up in my head of a novel protagonist the blood god, and his technique hoping to myself I was able to pull it off. 

The winds itself shifted. I could feel my right arms completely detach itself from my torso, a drowsiness overcoming my body, blood throughout my body being forced into my right arm as I feel as if I'm being wringed dry everywhere else, fatigue washing over me. Opening my eyes barely I saw myself sending out a wave of blood, it seemed less like a blade or slash and more like a splatter or wave, upon contact cutting through the tiger and the trees behind it though i could see it splatter everywhere, shattering it as the tiger where it cut exploded in blood and the trees exploding as well, as I lost consciousness.

Memories being dragged through as in quick succession i can see the memories of what i've done, majority i dont even understand or realise i did, but i guess it makes sense.

Man… I see myself. I think I'm like a 10 year old running around a forest, being chased by someone… another boy and a girl. The boy though small had a very clear and definite eyes that seems like it could kill, though he was white as snow, sickly white in fact, with his iris black a stark contrast, he was my first friend I think, the girl I remember her, golden blonde hair with eyes blue as the sky itself and a smile that seemed to be from the sun itself contrast to the boy as he almost never smiled. she was from a rich family real sweetheart in the surface, though she had a extremely violent tendency though, God it sucked to be fucking stabbed.

Watching the three of us just play around and continue to mess on about… it was fun while it lasted. 

My childhood years were the best to have had, oh well guess i… i…

An unfamiliar ceiling appears before me, a headache immediately sets as I wine in pain. Looking at my arms I immediately notice my right arm is covered with bandages, a white wrap surrounding it. Did I succeed on that technique? FUCK YES I SUCCEDED THEIR IS NO WAY I WOULD'VE BEEN TRANSPORTED TO ANOTHER WORLD WITHOUT A CHEAT SKILL! Getting up from the bed, my legs barely are able to keep me up, as i grab onto the table to help support my weight, I start to shackle maniacally.

"The power overflowed my very body, of course why didn't I realise it though I've been sealed! I just have to rebuild my way back to the top of the world, nothing can and will stop me!" as i can see myself wrapped throughout my body as i open my arm to unveil my blood!

A strange pressure resides within me, my gut wrenching and twisting the moment i think of blood, as i can see the image of the tiger… that monster still in front of me with it's eyes starring directly at me… ok yeah, maybe blood isn't my thing someone probably saved me… yeah that probably the case.

Forcing myself tot completely stand up, i walk towards the open door as taking my first step outside I'm greeted to the site of a young man with features similar to the boy in my mind, skin sickly white with a black iris and hair contrasting creating a contrast, his body looks skinny unhealthily so yet somehow the image suites him almost as if it was crafted just for him . 

"Yuin Mahento? Did you get transported as well bro?"

"Stranger, how do you know my name?" his eye seemingly drawn in closer, if i didn't know any better i would've thought he completely closed it. 

"Yo Yuin, jesus bro im hurt, you don't even remember me!!!! Your best friend!!! When did you get here bro? And bro thanks for the save with the tiger if that was you… yeah i would've been dead if not for you bro." a strange happiness erupts within me, knowing that yuin is also here with me means that it's possible other came as well.

HELL YEA! We can establish like a sect or guild, me of course as the party leader against these creatures and beasts, and later on when we get more achievements done. WAIT WAIT WAIT NO NO NO, Im a solo Wolf what am i thinking i cant be restricted to companiosn and such, but… my stomach twists a bit thinking of going alone but i cannot going against everything i've made though…

"Are you Alright?" as a light tap on my forehead breaks my train of thought.

"You're a strange fellow, and easily to go into your own mind, well can you answer again as to how you know my name now stranger" yuin looks towards me with a glint of suspicion, uhhh fuck if he isn't yuin than i might be fucked.

"Well of course, I know your name, you resemble an old rival I had! Though I must it's a bit surprising to hear that both of you have the exact same name, the difference being that you clearly don't have the presence he has, you might be able to unlock the potential in you!" Why?!

"I am the great lord Kai Savant, i've been sealed by the forces that wish to bring me down and end my life, for bringing me here you've managed to come across a fortune that goes against the laws of fate itself."

"Come yuin i extend my hand to you, become my ally, though i work alone i shall make an exception as you have potential to become my ally!" as i say it with complete confidence my mind is completely blank… WHY THE FUCK DID I SAY THAT!!!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!, maybe he'll buy the bit and i can just run away yeah, that's the plan just do that… but i need his help integrating into this world….

"..."

"I must decline you offer as the am a member of the northern wind sect" as he looks confused not bothering to hide it… uhhhh shit this is… man… What do i do… This… Fuck this is what i get for not having any social skills.

"I see, unfortunate to hear that but oh well, might i say for a sect named northern wind, im surprised you know how to use blood arts, tell me who is your master? Aybe they can help me contain the darkness that is sealed inside me"

"We don't use blood arts…"

The blood art is your idiot.
